  I lost my fiancé and my job less than three weeks apart. god drat this bitch cannot get a break, lol. my mental health was deteriorating rapidly and then I lost all my poo poo, and now it's much better. I didn't need that job. It's fine. I'll be okay and stronger after this. It's definitely inspiring some cool art. I'm enjoying the fast and loose style. btw I post my art replays here: http://www.instagram.com/meathooker and also at http://www.instagram.com/therealbeecat

Hello, I like the look of this place. I'm a fledgling artist, learning by doing I guess. I don't have time (or patience) for structured learning, and my biggest problem is inspiration. What you people call "doodles" is a bit confronting. I hope stupid questions are OK here, coz I have heaps. Anyway, I doodled a 'witch' (she has cats eyes) in honour of my thread invasion.

On one hand I'm also constantly flabberghasted by all the amazing people that can put out fantastic looking stuff in no time -- twitter makes me quite frustrated for that reason sometimes, hah. On the other hand, I'm sure if the me from ten years ago saw what I could do now he'd have a similar reaction. Point being: there'll probably always be amazingly better people, but you'll also be able to improve an amazing degree if you keep at it long enough.

For now, here's a witch kid: I think I've finally raked together enough patience to try my hand at the Ctrl-Paint tuturials again to get into painting and shading and all that stuff. Hopefully that'll help since I clearly have no drat idea what I'm doing at the moment. Shinmera fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Jan 11, 2019 |

This thread basically works as a catch-all art thread, really, and daily progress on high art is just as welcome as stick figures giving the finger. I finally went and changed the first post to reflect that, so don't be worried thinking that all of this is us just effortlessly cranking out a quick masterpiece in 5 mins flat while we compose a sonata to our talent and then calling it a doodle. Questions are most welcome! Ask away! There's always a good chance that someone else might be struggling with the exact same problem you have, so it's a chance to learn for everyone when someone brings stuff up.

Since I skimped out on drawing yesterday I decided, what the hell, might as well do this now while the inspiration is fresh. I actually prefer Heavy Liquid's original sketch though so I don't know what I achieved with this.

I plan on trying to do more painting, which takes me 10 times as long as linework. I'm not sure if that's how it is in general, or because I'm not comfortable with it, yet. Maybe a bit of both?

It's always fun to see different interpretations of your work! Funnily enough, I've been working on cleaning up the witch a bit. Might as well keep the witch thing going for a bit longer. :P I guess I'll count this as an early day 12. I'll probably color it later, like the sorceress. 12.

Alcohol based markers are really amazing, I use copics myself because the brush tip is unrivalled but there are a few other brands that come very close for a fraction of the price. Here are two alternatives to copics compared by Jazza who is a bit weird but good: Comparing to Spectrum Noir: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU143oqVqHA Comparing to super cheap alcohol based based: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXhQY1nrxoM The gold standard are of course the copics, but check this out: https://www.amazon.com/Copic-Marker-SB12-12-Piece-Sketch/dp/B000MRR3GU A set of 12 will set you back $60. Let that sink in. You could go for the budget option, copic Ciao which are about 2/3rd of the price or browse a bit on amazon and get one of the off-brand sets. Also remember you can refill the copic markers and some colors will go faster than others. Most importantly, keep in mind that buying art supplies and using art supplies are two very different hobbies. Edit: there are so many youtube tutorials on how to use them, watching that is almost like using them and much cheaper! Under no circumstances be like me. I bought a ton off the local craigslist, sold them all and two years later, when I had a huge influx of money, bought this: https://www.copic-shop.co.uk/copic-sketch-suitcase-with-358-colours-rrp-3087-50-last-one/ which I am planning to take to my grave.

I mostly wanted to try alcohol markers to get a feel for 'em before I made the jump into Copics. While they're not on the same level as Copic's, the Prismas are a lot better than the bargain brands.

TwoogBuk LLC posted:Stupid question: How do you do these [......]? Are they digital, or drawings? I don't know how to tell, and I'd like to try the medium. It reminds me of Archie comics. They are digital. You tend to develop an eye for telling apart digital and traditional drawings through experience of seeing both traditional and digital drawings. There are some tells you can look for, like here: It's easy to tell these are traditional, because the first one bears the blurring of areas that aren't in focus of the camera lens. The fact it's still attached to the binder also tells us that this is unlikely to be a scan - if it was, there would be scanner-glare at the edges of the drawing that show outside the paper. The second one is either a photo with a better camera, taken from further back of a wider area and then recropped or more likely a scan, since it's all in focus. I chose these as examples, because they show how off-white both photos and scans are. Compare to Shin's digital work: It's full-bright, perfect white all over. Traditional scans require colour-correction through digital means, which is a lot of bother and difficult and often still leaves a bit of the paper grain showing in the case of full-white backgrounds. Now compare between these again - the grain of the paper or canvas affects the tools that are used on it, making marker and pastel lines uneven where they "skip" over the paper's grain, or blown out where they soak into the paper. The lines in the digital work are perfect, with no variation in line width or visibility. The ends of the lines are round and blunt, showing the round form of the digital tool, whereas the markers tend to taper off when you lift them off the paper, or blot out a bit if you're drawing slow and careful, or leave a finer, less visible line when you draw fast or light. Even the sketch layer's lines are perfect on Shin's work. The uniformity of tools and lack of texture are big "tells" of digital. Now, many digital brushes will mimic traditional tools to throw you off, but even then a sharp eye and an examination of the colours and textures of a pic will show when a work is digital. The dark smudging in A hole-y ghost's work would be really difficult to replicate in digital, because digital tools, even ones with a bit of randomizing, will leave more uniform textures behind - they repeat the same patterns. Argue's work here is a great example of digital grain: There's a nice grit variation in the linework, especially pay attention to the hair and the line of the arm. There's also wonderful blending and smudging between many colours with a chunky brush that mimics the signs of a traditional work, but there's no canvas or paper grain visible - the coverage of the colours is too good to be traditional, and the saturation and richness of all the colours is a sign of a digital palette. The easiest way to tell this is digital is to look at the background grain. It's a drat good brush, creating a very convincing randomized texture, but even then there's repetition of brushstrokes that's too uniform to be traditional. Now look at the right upper corner, where the colour changes from bright to dark - can you see the smooth dark line, how it changes the underlaying colours and textures uniformly to a darker colour? Now look around the pic, behind the witch's head and on her face. The same uniform muting and darkening of colours, a digital effect done either by a darkening/burning brush or overlaying a darker colour on top of the background in a semi-transparent layer. These are just a few examples, there's tons more nitty-gritty stuff that's hard to point out - stuff you come to know through seeing and working with both traditional and digital media. Now, if you want to try digital media, the entry fee is just above 100bux - about how much you'd pay for a decent drawing tablet. A tablet is an essential if you want to draw digital, though not necessary if you just want to do digital art through photomanipulation and effects. I use a free art program called Artweaver, though many swear in the name of Gimp or Krita when it comes to free programs.
