FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

Wouldn't use that thing as reference unless you're drawing a nig nog Poon, since that facial anatomy is, in fact, that of a nig nog.
>>2542914
I signed up to 4chan 2 minutes ago specifically to reply to this, I thought that I should let you know that your art is terrible and there's nothing you could possibly do to make it better.
You think "oh i'm just gonna make my shitty drawings and put them on tumblr and make a million dollars wow" - Not gonna happen kiddo.
Delete your "blog" and delete this post because in about 7 years when you've graduated highschool you are going remember this while lying awake every night, thinking "Wow, I wish my parents hadn't let me use the fucking computer when I was obviously too young to understand that people are laughing at me when I post terrible MSPaint chicken scratch and expect people to want to pay me $10 for it"
I only have your best interests in mind kiddo, forget art until you hit 16 years old. Join your schools baseball team or some shit and start talking to girls or else you're going to end up like me: 30 years old, locked in your mom's basement haunted by the 8-bit Megaman Zero recolor edits you posted online as a kid under your real name that will never EVER go away.
The animations for the animations challenge dont have to be frame by frame stuff right?
>>2542941
Is this a pasta? Never seen it before.
>>2542955
No, you can do it however you like. Although I think frame by frame would probably be the most beneficial in terms of learning about the fundamentals of animation.
>>2542955
you gonna tween a ball?
>>2542987
Please. I'll have full out Nippon Animation.
>>2542988
draw the keys then outsource to korea for the inbetweens?
>>2542993
>implying /ic/ won't do it for free
>>2542987
Thats what I did. Is that bad?
Regarding all this talk about the animation challenge, I'am just here, waiting for one of you to go fullon "problem solverz" and give everyone an epileptic attack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB7XLb9vSmU
>>2543005
Nah it's fine. Just make sure your still focusing on things like squash and stretch, timing, spacing, etc.
>>2543011
I actually dont know much about any of those. I did add a frame to squash and another to stretch but thats pretty much it. (here it is)
>>2543015
squash and STRETCH! holy shit that animation is bad.
>watching Grach's figure drawing stream
>drawing pic related
>painstakingly outlines every single detail of the figure (like a box with feet) before going in and filling in the details
Is this what happens if you grow up using pens or markers? I rely on construction for everything.
>>2543021
this is what happens when you can't draw.
>>2543020
sorry, I did add a frame where the ball stretches but youre right, it doesnt really show.
>>2543032
it's very static, you need more emotion.
http://www.animationarena.com/principles-of-animation.html
>>2543020
Can you see the stretching here?
>tfw just want to draw more cute girls, but don't want to stay in my comfort zone
>>2543039
no, you're keeping the ball as a standard circle as it drops, add force to the ball.
>>2543035
thanks, I saw a tutorial that said to "ease" the tween but sadly I couldnt find an easing funciton on flash mx. Im thinking of using another program. I was just using this one because it was installed on my laptop
>>2543040
>tfw want to draw cute girls
>doesn't come out correctly
It pains me to stay in the comfort zone so I've already thrown myself into the wilderness. I have only the tools and knowledge given to me by my life.
>>2543040
you can still draw cute girls, draw them in dynamic poses or perspectives, or paint them if you don't paint much, maybe do a simple walk cycle animation.
>>2543042
like this?
>>2543051
I dunno how to explain but that timing is wrong. The animation's fucked on the drop and I think right after the bounce.
>>2543051
i cant see my animation cause im in photoshop, but this should be closer.
>>2543069
GOD DAMN IT HOW DO YOU SAVE A GIF IN PHOTOSHOP??
>>2543072
not like that
>>2543075
WELL NO SHIT LOL
>>2543072
Save for web and devices
Should be Ctrl Alt Shift S
Then choose gif and set loop to forever
>>2543078
all it does is stay on the frame i have open in photoshop, no animation.
>>2543067
I think I can see it as well but I don't have a clue as to how to fix it.
>>2543086
CHANGE YOUR FRAMES!
>>2543081
If you made the animation in photoshop on the timeline or made timeline from layers then you should be able to preview and save it.
If you're importing the gif from something else you need to go Import > Video frames from layers, and type *.* in the search to make gif file types available. Then go to Window > Animation or Timeline or something depending on your version, and then in top right of that little window is a menu. Click "make frames from layers", and that should give you the animation.
You then need to save for web and devices.
>>2543086
Should slow and stay at the top more and then drop quickly to the ground. Exaggerate, that's what animation is all about.
>>2543091
choob spotted
>>2543089
to what? or how?
>>2543091
thanks let me try
>>2543100
THIS IS LITERAL CANCER.
Holy shit, this does not compute with me. If anyone out there could unfuck my brain, please S.O.S.
>>2543099
me? I dont have photoshop. Not now atleast
>>2543097
hey man I'm just trying to help and all my gifs were of best girl, not my fault
But really ball bounce anon, if you tweened that in something then ofc it will look wrong and unnatural. Tweening is best for when you want a smooth motion, like the background scrolling by at different speeds as you look out the window of a car. For a ball bounce or a movement like that you should do the keyframes and then figure out the rest. I saw from the layers that it moves almost the same distance up and down each frame, when it should be moving down faster then slowing as it rises, maybe have 3-4 frames of it just sitting at the top then the slow fall back down, etc. You also don't need to animate on 1s except for particularly fast movements, but maybe it's simpler for starting up.
Animator's Survival Guide is gold for this stuff btw and might be in the art book thread, there's downloads of it for sure at least.
>>2543067
Ball wiggles weirdly just after the bounce too, like nudges right then centres again, might want to fix that.
>>2543109
thank you so much. I tried fixing the nudge and adding the frames at the end.
>>2543109
pic related for that book, first thing he talks about after the preamble and intros is bouncing ball and spacing things
First day of animation class we were given actual bouncy balls and told to study and animate the bounce. Didn't really need to study an actual thing IRL but hey, free bouncy balls
>>2542987
I just woke up and this is the first post I read without context and made me laugh out loud
>>2543112
No problem anon and that looks better already. The last few frames rising up could be dragged out a bit more, you want it to feel like it slows right down, almost hovers, then starts teetering over the edge to fall back down.
Found the dl in Art Books thread, link related. GLHF.

Will use for sure. Thanks
Nigga stop tweening, it looks bad because there are too many frames. Also a bouncing ball eventually stops bouncing
>>2543119
the exercise is to draw a continuous loop of a bouncing ball
>>2542931
Whine constantly
>>2543117
here anon.
my.mixtape.moe/ukxhtn.psd
i used your frames so whatever it looks like is from you.
>>2543119
How do you know when you have too many frames?
>>2543122
Im not sure what this is but I cant open it. Do you have a gif of it?
>>2543021
Beats the shit out of what I was going on with the orc. Floating around, taking guess scribbles here and there then erasing and moving onto something else.
>>2543141
you draw out of your head a lot, stop that.
>>2543142
hate to post so quickly after already posting, but I'm afraid that made no sense to me and it sounds like you might be giving genuine advice. could you rephrase that?
I stumbled upon this the other day. It might help you animation challenge people.
Also, are we supposed to just upload one album after we finish the exercises rather than submitting to it daily?
>>2543150
>>2543151

>>2543157
>>2543158
strems?
>>2543143
i noticed you were watching a video while drawing instead of using reference for the ideas you had in your head. i know drawing might be a hobby of yours, but if you want to separate yourself from the deviant artists, you should really try to focus your attention. You're lacking in fundamentals, easy things to fix and practice, just gotta make the time for it. You should of pulled some animal anatomy, skulls and such, for what you were working on instead of imagining what you don't know yet.
>>2542955
>joins a drawing challenge
>wonders if it involves drawing
SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER
crit? started out as a study but took a life of it's own, gonna finish it tomorrow
>>2543174
That's actually a good point. Should we allow heavy tweening? I guess this isn't the regular 20 minute challenge, so if he still actually draws something else it's okay.
>>2543150
You can do either or. For example, artscrub submitted his bouncing ball today and he might periodically update it as he does the other challenges. Im sure a bunch of people will also just submit an album by the dead line too. Do w/e you prefer.
>>2543178
Yeah, I wasn't sure if there would be a fresh submit every day and a gallery at the end of the challenge or if that list with one submission per person would be all we had for the whole thing.

JUST FUCK ME UP. Is gitting gud a myth?
>>2543186
Views are a combination of the time you submit at and how eye-catching the thumbnail is, unless you're one of the few renowned artists here. Don't bother paying attention to them.
And no, gitting gud is not a myth.

>>2543172
I appreciate the input man. Honestly though I was streaming the movie for others. I've seen that movie umpteen times and I know how slow I am at drawing. figured I'd give the people something else to watch instead of paint drying if that makes sense (I actually had the movie minimized on my monitor). I was looking at my monitor quite a bit at my reference (pic related), as I'm way too shit to draw from imagination. I need to stop trying for 1:1 replicas I feel soon, as now I feel like I'm plagiarizing. Thought everyone here knew I was too shit to draw from imagination.
>>2543325
1:1 replication is fine as long as you are learning something from it. Especially for beginners, it's good for honing your perception. Just practising measurements and breaking things down into basic shapes until it becomes second nature. Use it to practice your sense of distance and angles when blocking things in. Turning the image upside down and drawing it like that is a good exercise, it makes you stop paying attention to the subject and start seeing exactly what's there.
It doesn't really matter what you use as ref to practice those things, line drawings like the one you used are actually very good for it, for now at least. You should never feel like studying something is plagiarism (as long as you're up front about it).
I'm not participating or even lurking LAS, but I saw it first few months ago and I see it still goes on so I'm curious:
Are there still people who post without missing a day from the start? What about their progress, anyone have some quick comparison?
>>2543357
Yeah, they exist, we call the "The Flawless".
>>2543357
You should join before It's too late, son.
Soon, LAS will have dominated all the entirety of /ic/. All the weak people who didn't joined us or the foolish who even refused to do it will have only two options: to join and draw everyday or to never absolutely make it and die,
/ic/ days are counted, prepare for the new Artwork/Critique everyday board, /las/
>>2543380
Lava your illusions of grandeur are pretty laughable. Plenty of people in /ic/ see us as a cesspool of memes and shitposting, and literally zero people outside of /ic/ know of LAS.
>>2543389
people inside of las see it as a cesspool of shit too
>>2543391
It may be a cesspool of shit, but is our cesspool of shit.
>>2543389
The threads might be pretty horrible, but at least the people in LAS draw.
Hey digitixe, what if my style is "shitty style"?
>>2543392
Which makes it better because...???
>>2543396
Hey there's people outside of LAS who draw way more AND don't shitpost in these threads. No, 30 minutes a day doesn't justify shit. LAS is not going to dominate anything but these shitty threads.
>>2543380 is delusional as fuck and/or baiting hard for replies.
>>2543403
I don't see the appeal in making LAS more than it is by spreading it across not only other boards but also other sites
I for one only joined to start drawing every day, and it worked. I don't know what magical expectations you have, but whatever those may be, it's your own job to fullfil them
>>2543404
Not him but that's great, we get it you draw everyday. My thing is, why is this on /ic/? I never see anything posted on these threads other than blogging about muh feels and shitposting. It's nothing but a chatroom with no productivity whatsoever; again that's great you draw everyday. Take it somewhere else?
>>2543405
>everyday
:^)
I could see your point if this were occupying space that was needed for something else, I do agree the threads have devolved into blatant shitposting and retards fishing for you's
the difference to a chat room is that we're all still anonymous, and I personally prefer it that way
I'd probably leave if I had to deal with attention whores like tripnigger in some chatroom or god beware a mumble or discord group
>>2543405
Or you could, I dunno, just filter these threads and fuck off?
>>2543405
>mini modding this hard
>>2543405
Because if LAS didn't exist there would be the typical threads asking if there's a community "like CA.org like in the good old days". LAS the answer to that because forums are dead and we anons aren't into social networks
>>2543405
completely agree but I'd rather see the threads get cleaned up and made useful instead of disappearing completely, there's a few people that aren't underage meme spammers
it's pretty bad though, people have become used to posting completely non-/ic/ related stuff and using it as a chatroom or a personal blog like it's normal here.
it got a little better when a load of them made a discord to soak up their autism but I still have to scroll through 100 posts of nothing a day to skim the good stuff
>>2543404
>NEVER
>There's at the very least 25 posts or more discussing animation and providing constructive advice to a beginner just in this thread alone.
Ironically the best way to get feedback is actually posting your work and asking for honest feedback, people will shitpost, but there's artists that genuinely care about helping others improve on LAS.
>>2543414
RIP katiesmafuu
>>2543418
I, for one, didn't want her to go, but what can you do, LAS isn't a hivemind.
Hi, trad artist/LAS here.
Is there a way (like a filter of sorts) of making my whites "whiter" without affecting the rest of the colors of my artwork in photoshop?
I usually go to adjustments/brightness and contrast and or Levels, but unless I make very specific selections through the "magic wand" or "Lasso tool" everything gets messed up.
>>2543418
>>2543420
Yeah, that sucked, she stated she was underage in the very same thread she introduced herself, and got the axe.
>>2543423
>she
It wasn't she, it was another autistic shitposter who also impersonated several lasers before
>>2543423
you can use the magic wand or quick select to pick all of one color (you can hold shift to make multiple selections or click on the modifer that should bee the normal tool icon with a plus sign, located in the bar on the top under the menus. this way you can select all your highlights at once) and then hit ctrl U you adjust hue saturation and brightness.

Get that tinfoil hat out of your ass son.
>>2543435
You don't see these threads anymore. And yes LAS is a well thought out alternative to something that can no longer exist in today's internet
>>2543434
>>2543437
Thank you so much, I also found out you can do something along the same lines by going to
adjustments/selective color/colors:white.
>>2543433
carry on then, I just found it strange the same day she got banned she used her token, then dropped out of the competition the following day.
I haven't been in the threads for a few weeks but is there no way to join a community challenge once it's started?
>>2543453
Nope, kind of weird though.
Be honest you all, how much do you draw daily, and how much would you like to draw?
namefag if you want
>>2543457
When manic I draw up to 8 hours a day, when the roller coaster comes crashing down I put less than a 1 hour 30 minutes average, before LAS I wouldn't draw shit for weeks/months.

NO it's not you dirty nigger. How insecure do you have to be to respond every single time someone impersonates you? We all know that post wasn't you. It's a fucking joke. There's no reason to defend your internet honor because you have none. Just stop posting.
>>2543492
is that yours?

>>2543506
:^(
>>2543506
If you want it to stop, stop posting. They're only doing it because they know you'll respond.
Also, why the fuck do you care if two new users think you're shitposting when all of LAS already knows you're a faggot?

Shiiit, my fault. Looks real good tho
>>2543457
I'm a beginner, and I've been doing 2-3 hours a day, but those have been gradually increasing just because I'm starting to really enjoy this shit. Ideally I'd say every single second I'm not doing school work.
I'm a bit worried though, I keep telling me I shouldn't really be enjoying form studies or line studies, and I always try to go in with the "this will be hard, but it will be over soon for today" mindset. I'm afraid of the burnout monster.
I'm shit simpay, but I want to gidgud ;_;

It's literally addictive, just quit cold turkey and before you know it you won't even want it if it's offered to you, that's how it worked for me at least. Switch to flavored seltzer if you still want something fizzy and tasty (but with the added bonus of no godawful syrup aftertaste).

I partially agree, for me I drank a disgusting amount of energy drink back in university (about 5 years ago) and it completely screwed me over, it took 3 months to get my normal sleeping pattern.
it's only recently I started to drink coke (for the caffeine) because I have very little free and want to make the most of my day instead of falling asleep when I get home
>>2543548
Stop impersonating me! :(
>>2543563

>Tfw I joined the style challenge even though I don't have a style

>no character model challenge submission yet
anyone else stuck like me? i have trouble deciding on something.
googling random advice as we speak. send help
>>2543609
I still need to do my gesturds.
>>2543609
What are you stuck on?
>>2543613
well, coming up with a neat and convincing design
>>2543550
i agree. i hope i get better someday.
>>2543598
They only have to submit at the end of the week. I'm sure several are just waiting to dump them all at once.
I think I should change it so you can join a challenge up until the first day closes. The reason for not allowing people to join ongoing challenges is because some of them require daily posts so it should be ok to join on the first day too. What do you think?
>>2543389
Literally never me

traditionally animated inserts for two separate biopic documentaries.

took a break for dinner, now back
>>2543538
underaged canadian girl maybe lavas friend who got tricket into saying she was underage. she was banned and dint continue the challenge. hey lava hows katie? hope shes still drawing.
>>2543622
Well with the current system, no challenges require daily checkins/submissions. People can do 140 gestures on the last day if they want to. imo it's a bad system that only allowed for one type of challenges - not the daily type. And in this type that's 'supported', people should be able to join whenever. Shouldn't even really be a sign up, just a submit being open for the duration of the challenge
>>2543622
Ideally the creator should be able to enable or disable it, but i think as a temporary thing late join should maybe be allowed by default. There are more challenges that benefit from it than don't.
>>2543557
Drink green/black tea, it's good for you and it has caffeine.
>>2543633
If it's decaffeinated green tea then yeah it's good for your heart.
>>2543622
Do it, I wanted to join the Wally one but didn't realize it would close. I thought I'd join when I submitted, rather than joining and submitting later. I think it should be open until the challenge closes, since even the daily ones aren't obligatorily daily. You only have one submission so you'd do them daily and then submit them all at the end, right?
Also, something in the list to indicate if you've joined a challenge would be great.
>>2543615
That's tough, but I can say this don't worry about making one perfect design. Sketch a bunch you're bound to like one design or at least elements here and there that you might be able to combine.
It helps me to have a solid theme or setting I can research and find some inspiration or references.
>>2543389
post ur work
>>2543639
Nah man, decaffeinated or not the antioxidants help to prevent cancer.
>>2543626
This. Keep it completely open. If someone manages to do 800 gestures one day and decides they may as well enter, why stop them?
>>2543703
Because the challenge is to do 20 gestures each day
>>2543703
no that's retarded
is it possible to do good digital art with the smallest Wacom imaginable? I've been using it for over a year and my traditional shit is still much better.
>>2543731
you can get far but I'd upgrade to something with at least 1024 and to save your wrist
>>2543731
I've always used a Bamboo and it works fine for me. It's harder to do nice lines on it because the small working area making you work less from the shoulder, but for painting it's no problem.
>>2543747
I might have to
>>2543750
Yeah, that's exactly my problem. Painting is completely fine, I can do stuff at my skill level no problem, but when I do line work it just looks awful. Its so frustrating because, even though I'm not a super amazing artist, I know what I'm capable of and it just doesn't come through on digital.
i dont want to draw today goodbye
>>2543767

Oh no, I can feel the burn out coming in. Shouldn't have joined all those challenges.
>>2543777
still better than ~33% of the human population
>>2543781
that's the spirit
>>2543780
It's like day 2 santi and/or abc. You're lucky most of them only last a week
>>2543784
That must be santi, I'm comfy like a pepe.
>>2543781
Are you saying 2/3 of people can draw better than people whose been actively trying to learn? I believe you are mistaken. Like 80% of the population are utter garbage at art by my guess. Very few in general take interest, probably sub 1%.
>>2543810
aatching normie friends on facebook post drawings is hilarious. Nothing but wows and greats and every time it's wonk city.
being on /ic/ probably skews people perspective of just how few people draw
>>2543810
HE'S AN IDIOT IN AWE OF THE MAGIC OF NUMBERS WHO HIDES HIS IGNORANCE BEHIND NUMBERS FEIGNING CONTEMPLATIVE FAMILIARITY WITH PEOPLE.
YOU HAVE A LOT IN COMMON WITH HIM IN THAT WAY.
probably time to draw
>>2543816
haha you too?
>>2543816
how do you survive like this.. I feel like if I don't give myself like 8 hours before deadline Im scared ill get stuck and produce nothing before its time. I always finish and post after a few hours, but still.
>>2543777
is grach really second tho
>>2543816
nah, give it another hour
>>2543823
yeah, I wanna watch some more vids of youtube instead
>>2543821
not really but I legit can't think of anyone else.
>>2543831
jmgn has got some nice line weight under his over the top rendering sometimes, and theres plenty of guys doing basically what grach does sometimes even better or using the binary brush in more interesting ways
>santi has joined all the challenges and hasn't done anything
>drawing for a few minutes
>look at it
>ew I hate this
>erase it all
wew
>>2543841
welcome
>>2543841
Now do it 90000 times
congrats you are a master
>>2543836
yeah that's fair, I don't remember the last time i clicked on a jmgn submision but a long time ago when he posted some gestures they did had very nice lines.
I'd still rate grach over others just because of the line control but I can see what you mean other people having more interesting uses of lineweight and such.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP
>>2543854
Having technical difficulties? Just act less gay, advise administrators.
>>2543854
just use another image like tekky or pihori
>>2543836
I find jmgn's stuff boring as hell
naf is also pretty dull
mmgl is very very good, grach also. they might not be "skilled" or rather "show-offy" as the two above, but they got a certain something that is really where its at.
I would also put nelli as someone who is good but all he does is gesture excersie
anon313 is submitting old work I have proof
>>2543854
be honored, you are today's sacrifice
>>2543859
ARANAKTU WILL NOT HAVE MY BODY

just do it!
>>2543857
>nelli is good
thanks for the clear indicator of disregardable post. You almost had me.
>>2543858
post proof fuckkooo
>>2543857
hi nelli
boygivingup's stuff is starting to look like grach's lol
