Why would you have a lantern on your stringed instrument? The weight would cause the wood to bend alternating the tune. And since its a swinging weight the bend wouldn't be consistent causing an absolutely horrible off-tune sound constantly.

Its so obvious
So we recently had a realization thread about art and it was interesting and funny, I just had another epiphany and I think others may benefit from it.
TLDR; Share your artistic epiphanies

You do know that there are plenty of ways to just stretch them to the correct ratio as a batch in under a minute, right? Even just going through and doing it by hand would have been quicker than making your OP image. Photoshop macros (I'm guessing, I haven't used it in forever) or Gimp scripts could do this without even having to touch a terminal.
You'll loose some quality, but it's not like they're ruined.

Well skin is different due to subsurface scattering. For most things you darken and desaturate, for skin you darken and saturate.
I've always been an above average artist with pencil and pen. I finally bought a cheap graphics tablet to start learning graphic art. Pic related is what i made first. It felt a lot different than what im used to. Any tips for going forward? Im trying to do at least one drawing a day.
>>2435666
>dem devil trips tho
>>2435666
Hello, Satan.
For starters, read the sticky.
Secondly, use your tablet for everything you do online in place of a mouse. You'll adapt quickly.
Nope, nope...
Taking into account a possible lack of motor skills with the tablet and understanding of the software, you are not "an above average artist" with pen, pencil, crayons, markers, paint, dirt&stick, or whatever the fuck you choose.
There are so many issues with proportions, perspective, lighting, etc. that can't be chalked up to "derp it's a different medium der".
You're like some dipshit 4th grader that is better at multiplication than the other kids in class deciding he's better than the average mathematician even though not a single kid in the class, nor the teacher, qualify for use of the term. Oh, well, I know CPR, and I bet 90+ percent of the population doesn't because they have 0 interest. So, that makes me a better M.D. than the average person, right? No. It means you know CPR... 1 thing, and compared to actual doctors you would be tied for worst alongside everyone else that knows CPR and nothing else that pertains to the field... and you must see how silly that would be fore some asshat to say they're a better than average doctor because they count everyone in the population as a doctor. That's you. That is what you're doing right now.
You compare your work to people that don't draw and think it's better, and that's how your fucking dunning-kruger outlook on your garbage artwork has formed... how about you compare it to actual artists for a fucking change. It may humble your stupid ass enough to realize you're a below-average-shit at art, and a gay retard. Then you might recognize some of your mistakes and actually put forth an effort to improve rather than resting on laurels you don't have.
Here's a tip! Fuck you, you suck, your parents know you suck, your art teachers sucked, and you should probably enroll in trade school to be an underwater welder or some shit while you have the chance.
How did I do?
>>2435175
blog?

Not sure what you mean.

You draw like shit you fucking faggot bitch.
How do you train imagination?
I do studies and everything but when I have to create something from imagination I have literally 0 cool ideas most of the time, just generic shit.
your visual library m8 , look at the world around you
>>2430358
How do I visual library something like this?
>>2430365
You don't usually start with the finished product as an image in your head. You draw from things you know. You experiment and design.
Lots of people who do stuff like that do thumbnail sketches and quick designs before they settle on one to polish. They throw shit at the wall and see what sticks, and use different elements of different things they know.
What does /ic/ think of Draw a Box and their teaching program?
Is it worth doing?
I drew 250 vaginas. The instructions need to be clearer.

Were they in a box though?

Hey /ic/
I'm currently making a map (not finished) and I'm considering printing it at a print-shop what kind of paper and or lamination should I use if any?
>>2436040
Shameless self bump
>>2436040
Nice map anon. Sadly not sure what kind of paper would be best, I don't print a lot, but I'll bump out of interest.
>>2436040
Had that big map of Faerun they had made for 5e dnd on cloth @ a sign making company, turned out great and its big enough so we use it as a table cloth while playing.
I decided not to laminate it because it was too big to keep around with out being able to fold it
Though the game doesn't deliver sometimes, they get some pretty decent concept work out.

What programs do i need to make Digital Comics???
>>2434966
Manga studio 4 for lineart, panels, bubbles, and tones.
Paint tool sai for coloring.
>>2434966
???
>>2435252
Manga studio aka ComicStudio aka Clip Studio Paint would be appropriate for traditional comics.
webcomics are made in whatever, it's up to the author skill
>have OCD
>be a perfectionist
>also an artist
sound like you're really fucked mate, better give up now before it's too late

How does one make animated pixel art? I've never worked with pixel art before but I'd like to dive into it.
I just came here to say that gif is as hot as fuck. What is it from?
Like any other animation.

Yeah what the fuck? Most sprite porn is really shitty
