Thanks! I like it, but it's mostly down to a great reference photo and drawing skills, the rendering is pretty rough still. Gouache is great though, it's so easy to mix nice colours and it can cover previous layers which is witchcraft after watercolour.

Thanks for the good feedback- if I didn't mention personally I appreciate the time and effort. couple of things- a dnd oriented commission (I've been trying to get more of these) and a quick drawing for fun / experiment

Are you using the black gouache for your lines or India ink?

Markers for this one's linework. The black of the t-shirt is gouache.

What markers do you use? I use pens/markers, but I tend to always use India Ink and a brush on my line work. I can't really keep straight which pens/markers bleed with transparent paints, and which are solid.

Unipin fine liners - dirt cheap, still the best I've come across. I had some Pitt ones, they were alright, similar quality just a lot more pricey.

I've been watching some Shibasaki videos on YouTube and that has pointed me at some other Japanese watercolour painters that I thought the thread might enjoy, so here's some links: Shibasaki obviously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biIoj1sROnc The Harusaki pair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bztrdkSGdx8 Those two I've mentioned before. New that I've found that probably should have more followers than they do: Sakai Yoshimoto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmM2iFxIU5M Who I really like the style of. Last is Osamu Murata who does some wildly colourful poo poo like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crmmnDGFceo Not exactly my kind of thing, but still really cool. Hope you guys enjoy.

A lot of artists on twitter are doing start of the decade/end of the decade stuff, where they redraw art from 2009, but my earliest art I can find is... 2011. But I did it anyway because it's fun. You guys should do it too even if you don't have anything from 2009 (if you want), it's fun to see even tiny progress.

On of the earliest of my drawings that wasn't nuked from orbit in the purge I did is from 2013, when I started my "onesies" series. This is #3 And to conrast, #1414 from last month: Shinmera fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Dec 18, 2019 |

Also I'll post some more drawing stuff again soon, I've just been swamped with university project work and getting depressed over university project work, so I haven't found the energy to work on things. One of the projects was to implement a path tracer with a variety of advanced features, with one of the features being to model something yourself, so I did: The render itself is done with software I wrote for the course, though I don't know if that counts for any artistic merit or what.

lofi posted:Where do you get your commissions from? I'm looking to find more work, but damned if I know where to get it. Well, I gave myself an exercise to draw D&D characters to try and showcase work examples and generate interest- because I want commissions from this demographic, I like the thematic world and visual language and I think there's a consumer base for custom art of my style there. Then I just started drawing them and posting them online in roleplaying and dnd communities- imgur, reddit, facebook, instagram, twitter etc. etc. I'm getting a couple commissions here and there but I really hope to create a steady stream of customers. Don't know if it will work out tho but I still enjoy it. taqueso posted:The people want stickers! syntaxrigger posted:I feel like cyberpunk howard the duck should be a sticker or something. I'll upload the other one later...

I read that one when it came out and gladly read it again. Some doodle from this week:  there is so much wrong with it, I considered not posting it. Also did some swatching of the kurataki paints I got because I was bored and wanted to play with paints without having to draw something.

lofi posted:Where do you get your commissions from? I'm looking to find more work, but damned if I know where to get it. This is not gonna help you at all, but I get my commissions from coworkers who have seen me drawing on breaks, friends and family. In that order. Some miniscule point percentage comes in from the etsy store. Mind, I don't get near enough commissions that I could actually live off them like you'd wanna. You could try setting up an easel on a busy street with a sign "will paint anything for x money" and be like a street performer, but for art? Great time of the year to do it! ... inside a mall or something. Oh, actually, if there's any events going on and you're not adverse to having kids as customers, getting a set of face paints and a chair and doing simple cute little pictures for kids on their cheeks can earn a nice amount of money. You know, stuff like pokemon and cat faces and flowers and skulls. It's great 'cause a pic on your face is cheap, so parents don't mind tossing in a buck or two to keep the kids happy and quiet for one goddamn minute, and they're small and quick to do, which means you can still earn a decent hourly wage. Other than that, I think the only way would be to find an obscure niche that hasn't got many artists crowding to it and working that. By "niche" I mean "fetish".

lofi posted:Well, guess all that time spent learning to draw people was wasted too, then! Anime wolf cock forever. Hey, never diss knowing your basics, it will be helpful with making more realistic, believable anime wolf cocks. You might just draw the best ones and be the champion wolf cock drawer! And get this, there's plenty of fetishes that require you to draw no cocks whatsoever! Don't lose hope though. I don't have many commissions because I don't go out there (IRL or internet) and advertise or network or reach out to companies or independent publishers or actually do loving anything to get commissions. I'm just one step above hissing at people when they ask me about my drawings. There's only so much time and energy I can to dedicate to doing a second job on top of the full-time one. I do wish a couple of people who actually make a living with commissions or art would answer your question 'cause I'd love to know, too. Ey, peeps with art money! Get in here and tell Lofi how to make the big bucks!
