past thread >>2431590
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.

no journey is truly painless. stay strong gentlemen we all share a common struggle.
i think i might grind through Keys to Drawing. how long should it take
>>2435825
Not very long, it's easy to read and straightforward in what it's asking you to do. Some exercises can also be skipped in my opinion, though it wouldn't hurt doing everything.
Try and see by yourself.
People ask me how I manage to draw 30 hours every day while having a full time job, 13 kids and playing videogames all day. I think it's time to reveal my secret. The best part? It can be yours for 2.99$ a can!

So go out and get yourself a nice girl.
Then NTR her with Stella in your dreams.

>>2436078
How much lewd material have you ingested over the course of your life?
At the very minimum you should've gone through a combined total of five hundred doujins and image sets.
>>2436087
So much.
>five hundred doujins and image sets
It's nothing.
>>2436087
I've watched 36785 pornographic photos and videos in my life, maybe not exact but pretty close. I am a bit obsessive about monitoring my life and I basically count everything I do.
I also have a bit of a hoarding problem.
>>2436139
this tbqh
>>2436127
Do you keep track of how many drawings you do? And if so, what is the current number?
Genuinely curious.
>>2436127
how do you keep count of that though?
>>2436150
Not that guy. Keeping count would be easy if he saves everything he watches. Just gotta check folder properties to see the file count.
>>2436087
Over 1000 galleries of futa content on sadpanda. I know precisely what I'm going to do with my work.
Man, the topic vote is really close this time. This is absurd.
>>2436165
carlos pls
>>2436181
Why? Do you save anything and everything?
>>2436186
I use an extension for chrome that downloads all the images on a page. I've spent a bit going onto most nsfw boards and grabbing anything interesting, going to reddit subs and downloading the top 1000 images, tgp sites have links to good places to download interesting sets too.
All sorted into relevant folders too, super easy to draw something femdom, just legs, bondage, people dressed as teachers, cute emo-ish people, whatever.
>>2436189
I'll never get what people find good about suicide girls
>>2436189
>lips that grip
its all photo's related to death grips
>>2436195
Honestly, they actually have really good cameras, models, lighting, and difference in poses.
Since I just get it all from the SG subreddit, other people get the best stuff that's actually worth looking at.
>>2436196
When the internet dies out, I will have all the porn.
>>2436200
Actually, it's pussies that are really tight around a cock. Interesting to draw that specifically.
>>2436201
Actually saves time. When I find something good, press a button and I have all the pictures on a page in a folder.
>>2436205
>have really good cameras, models, lighting, and difference in poses
what about MetArt then?
>>2436208
That's.... actually in my non-lewd folder.
>>2436209
>>2436210
>>2436195
I'm very much into emo / nerd / pale girls so Suicide Girls is great to me. I'm not lying when I'm saying 99% of naked ladies I see on the internet aren't attractive to me and doesn't interest me in the slightest, whether artistically or sexually.
>>2436205
>Actually saves time. When I find something good, press a button and I have all the pictures on a page in a folder.
I mean hoarding reference images. I can guarantee you that you will use maybe 2% of the images you have downloaded. It seems to me that you procrastinate by collecting and looking at the porn refs and organizing them, making the excuse to yourself that they will be useful at some point. I made the same mistake during my first year of study. It was a waste of time and I have since deleted 99% of those images as porn makes for shit ref.
>suicide girls
Oh boy. Don't use porn to study from. The lighting is poor for drawing from.
>>2436214
I can get behind pale girls
>mfw browsing through 99% of /s/ and /hc/
Lips that grip are the best, especially gifs where like the cock sliding in pushes the pussy so it looks more puffy around it.
I instinctively save things too, have done for years, but I do it manually mostve the time unless I'm saving a full Loli thread from b. I'm scared to see just how much "reference" I've stockpiled but I'll check later, I can't stop saving things.
>>2436225

Malaysia is a /pol/ack who ruined the porn threads and trolls in attempts to self promote his racist comic about an arian christian girl who hates niggers because of din dues and shit h'es annoying and highly confrontational avoid him at all cost . he is not part of LAS...but i've seen people who seem to have VERY similar stiles to him...
>>2436189
I'm impressed. Would you consider uploading any/all of it?
Through mega or even a torrent.
Is your SFW folder this good too?
You'd be saving a lot of people a lot of time by doing this. I'd personally seed it for as long as possible.

I will personally kick him in the balls if he drops out

there is not a single point in our known universe he could hide at
>>2436318
Learn to program and find another niche that you can service (ie. artists who are interested in getting good but are unmotivated).
>>2436147
Same anon here, that's impossible since I started to count things when I was 9 and I started drawing earlier. But it must be on the hundreds of thousands
STOP
SHITPOSTING
>>2436301
this hurts.
For the 60+ days people, have you seen any gains? what are you actively pursuing at the moment.
>>2436333
Draw until you're confident in your abilities and not reliant on the opinions of others.
Faggot.
>>2436333
GOOD
translate the pain into power and draw
>>2436336
>expecting gains from drawing 30 minutes a day for 60 days
ayyy
>>2436336
First month I was just drawing trash, 0 gains. Second month I buckled down and started actually reading books, grinding studies and actively trying to learn. Huge gains. I've been doing at least 4 hours a day though.
>>2436336
most of my drawings are from imagination and look like shit, but I start getting closer to something I'd say
the topic challenge does throw me off a bit because they're just so very vague but they're still kinda fun
>>2436336
i' think i'm getting worse hahahahah
Who else loves unreliable shared hosting
>>2436336
None, utterly none.
But I'm not being very methodical, one day studies for the minimum amount of time, another day polishing an anime turd for five hours.
>>2436344
I think most of us are doing over an hour. Personally I only do the minimum when I'm really pressed for time and have a lot of more urgent things that need to get done..

kill yourself.
>>2436336
yes, I've seen mild improvement. I'm currently trying to get better at heads/necks/faces. I have had retard face syndrome every time I tried to draw realistically. Mostly because all my past art involved things with short fat heads, giant eyes, and almost no chins. My childhood drawings were nothing but anime furries and lilo and stitch fanart. So these have been the hardest internal habits to break. But I'm slowly getting into better habits. I've found my skull studies stay with me more than my face studies. Maybe because skulls were initially foreign to me? I'm not sure. But yeah, I'm improving a tiny bit, but not a lot.
>>2436336
I honestly don't know.
I don't think I see progress.
>>2436336
I slowly hate myself more each day for being just a study machine, and so try do at least some imagination stuff and learn from books.
Maybe a little bit better at making the focal point more important/rendered than the rest. At least I'm working more than normal and enjoy it more.
>>2436292
it's a cintiq, you dumbo
>>2436336
i'll have more time in the summer, but right now all i can contribute is a little more over 30min, so I don't see much if any progress and also have no direction of what i want to do.
>>2436336
Yeah, but not much. I think I'm going to drop out of the daily challenge and study more Robertson and Gurney.
LAVAAAA
>>2436189
Mind telling me what extension that is that allows you to download multiple images at once? Would be nice being able to make my own folders of references on hand instead of trying to find it myself everytime.
>>2436336
dunno about gains, but am trying to incorporate more perspective into my stuff as of late
ITS UP

I'm trying to understand construction and apply it to drawings done from imagination/reference, which historically, I used to avoid altogether.
>>2436473
THIS is the real reason why you should all be in forza.
LAS threads are getting boring. We need to escalate things.
so what if this doesn't go away before the deadline
>>2436483
will post cum tribute to Stellas drawings if i get trips.
>>2436336
I don't think I started making much progress until recently when I decided to just grind through one resource at a time
>>2436022
Fuck you, that's why.
>>2436478
yeah, I think you keep getting yourself lost into texture and detail instead of making a solid foundation. That said, your last couple of texture bisection cylinder things definitely show improvement.
>>2436484
well then I'll be eliminated anon ;-;

Fuck you.
Not a week 1 ner, but this will be my last day of LAS.
I feel like LAS is holding me back as I can't even read a book on anatomy or drawing as I need to do 1 hour polished drawing a day. I can't watch a video of how to paint as I have to do a 1 hour polished drawing.
I can't do 3D art as I have to do 1 hour polished drawing.
So good bye LAS.
>>2436680
Or you could watch 30 minutes of tutorial, then paint for 1 hour.
Or you could read 30 minutes of book and draw what you learned for 1 hour.
Unfortunately, I don't think 3d is able to be submitted.
Also it doesn't have to be polished. I post shit studies every day.
>>2436680
but there are 24 hours in a day?? read an anatomy book and study the references? paint along with the video? do you work 15 hours a day and sleep for 8?
>>2436680
you won't be missed, a day has 24 hours
don't let the door hit you on your way out

>>2436680
Your own fault you draw to impress if you think you need a polished drawing. LAS was never intended to show off, but to maintain discipline. Its the reason there are no lokes or comments implemented.
You can leave, though. We dont need someone with such childish attitude.

Oh for fuck's sake. I thought this was the topic so I just took forever to draw something 'absurd' as I'm void of imagination. I can't even draw anything else anymore unless I want to take another one hour cut from my sleep.
In a way what I drew could be suggestive but it'd be stretching it. Wake me up inside.
