Got to try one of these today, and drat they're sexy! The art shop I tried it in was charging £15 for them, so I'm waiting on the one that was literally half that price on eBay. Really looking forward to it.

glad to spread the brush gospel. My teacher Nathan Fox introduced me to it, I think it's the brush he uses for most of his work (plus a winsor newton series no 7 which is also an amazing brush). everyone on tumblr is drawing themselves as a witch so I jumped on the bandwagon

How did you find working with charcoal? It's supposed to be a classic thing, but I found it difficult and frustrating to work with for whole pictures. It feels wrong and is unpredictable. I.. I hope that you didn't all go blind.  Seer is all like "shiiiiiit how the hell am I gonna tell the baron his whole county is hosed"

When you're working with charcoal, use Willow to plan your values. It's the easiest to erase, rework, or simply draw over. Vine is not Willow (make sure it is Willow).

 I'm getting slightly ashamed of not doing more than basic sketching or posting anything much, so here's a WIP of a kaiju with his tongue stuck to a glacier. Apparently he's on an arctic expedition. No destruction here, I only draw nice monsters doing people things. Just needs the rest of the hatching, colour, shading, highlights, some sort of background and it's done. Piece of cake, I'll be done by Christmas!

Been a while. Making up for it with three epic pen drawings. Material was permanent so there are some pretty epic proportion and perspective mistakes. Epic Nurse  Epic smelly cow-armadillo-bug thing  Epic Dwarves

Conte plus huge paper makes me happy. Proportion's pretty off e: I really need to get round to sorting an easel, I'm getting horrible perspective effects on such big paper. e2: More conte:

I really like the flow of the first conte drawing Petrol, it's a great image. I've been working on a test image to send to games workshop to hopefully get into their freelance pool. However my tablet drivers are all messed up after a recent operating system patch so I have some downtime while I fix that. I figured I might as well post my wip for the warhammer project since it's suitably epic.

Thanks, good flow is something I really admire, so that means a lot! I spent much more time on the sketching for the second one, it took twice as long and I reckon that was a mistake. Live and learn, etc. On yours, I'd amp up the colours and contrast a bit more - GW stuff is basically 'we painted an 11 on the dial', so I'd really beef up the shadows and reflection/highlights (esp on the klaw / bolt pistol). The ambient light feels like it's swallowing the figures a bit, if that makes sense, they might look better with more green/blue respectively. I love the klaw design, it screams ork in all the best ways. Having said all that, I'm starting to think this monitor is on it's way out, everything looks like it needs more contrast, so do other goons agree with that crit?

As I build up detail I generally add more depth with shadows and value fog.

I only count 3 purity seals, lame, 3/10 Looking much better already, but the marine in particular still feels too yellow. Looking at the thumb, the marine's eye, his shoulderpad, and the klaw really pop, but the rest needs more colour! Maybe dropping some red hues into the background could work? (Also, the omega on that marine's helmet is upside down!  )

Haha, I didn't want to sleep ever again anyway! Kikka posted:I cant remember the last time I had fun drawing I'm so sorry. Have you been drawing for other people, not yourself? I just came out of a frump that lasted a freaking year and now that I've been pretty meh the last couple of days so I went back to what I've always loved drawing: fat critters. Is there anything you specifically liked to draw when you did enjoy it? So here's a fat bunny with a mushroom on its head.  BTW Phylodox, male nelf plz with extra beard.

That bunny is tripping balls. Kikka, I hope you find some new joy in drawing. I too have come out of a relative funk. For me the medicine was life drawing and lots of it. Drawing from photos and such can be kind of soul-draining. Try a new medium to play with, too, just to make a mess.

 A commission I recently finished. There are anatomy errors (I don't think spines can twist that way, oops), but overall I like how it turned out.

I've just started using conte and huge paper (instead of mainly digital) , and the change has really helped me enjoy art more. The old saying, a change is as good as a rest, is totally true.

Alright goons, I could really use your help, because this is driving me nuts. Today I lost some progress on a piece I've been working on because this keeps on happening:  Photoshop occasionally refuses to save my files because apparently there isn't enough RAM. This has often happened when I've been working on my cintiq and until today I've been able to save my files once I've unplugged the tablet. This time it didn't help at all. I tried to flatten and then shrink the image down to just 6 mb, but I kept receiving the same message when trying to save it. I wonder if it has something to do with me using the pen tool? Or perhaps it's just some general bug. The layers were behaving strangely, when I tried to merge two layers the colors of those layers changed completely. Additionally my image file got ridiculously big some way down the road, I have no idea how that happened. Any ideas what's going on here?

Hmm, a couple questions: - what is current capacity of the scratch disk? - what are the document dimensions? - are you running Chrome or any other browser at the same time as PS?

neonnoodle posted:Hmm, a couple questions: -The scratch disc capacity is currently about 450 GB, additionally I let photoshop use 60% of the computer's total memory (just changed it to 70 %) -The working dimensions are 5250 x 10000 (300 dpi), but photoshop wouldn't even save the image shrunk down with 80 % -Turned browsers off when trying to save the image, with no effect. Edit: closed photoshop, lost some work, but now I'm at least able to save my stuff. Still, this will most likely happen again. Anyway, have some content.
