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.

Nice image. It pretty much embodies the skill level at which I feel like I can be reasonably comfortable in my ability. That sort of point where you can draw things on a whim and have them coming out presentably well, while making great headway learning-wise.

>>2521520

I really don't care about views but this was just a peculiar event. I don't understand these trends.

Welp, I guess this is a sign that I should actually sit down and read my PDF copy of the Animator's Survival Guide. And thank you for the written and visual breakdowns of 'anticipation'.

>>2521354
Hm, I see your point, for sure. Admittedly though, the animations with human figures are more just me practicing how to move object versus why. The flour-bag is basically the only one where I actively wanted to depict a cause and effect. But (weak) excuses aside, thank you for the advice. I'll keep it mind the next time I try to animate something.

I didn't expect this much handholding so really, thanks for all the advice and tips.

To be fair, everyone in LAS is a beginner in some areas. Even those who are really good (a la FmMood etc) are only at that high level in a small area. Not a comfort zone so much as a target zone I think, but still the point stands.

>>2521605

>>2521612
on the flour bag thing one of the first things we were asked to do (after the usual bouncing ball then ball with a tail) was to do a bag of flour or flying carpet type character, but to give them an overriding emotion or feeling too. Like some people made their flour bags depressed, dragging their feet, some were excited to climb and jump the the top of a stack of books and then celebrated when they got there etc.

Practicing movement in general is good too but no reason why you can't do both.

Ball with a tail? Is that to emphasize movement? Never heard of it! And I'll try another flour-bag with a focus on emotion. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
And I'm just very weak with range of motion, so that was my priority, but two birds with one stone is the ideal.

>>2521638
I really can't answer 'how long' with an accurate estimate, but don't sweat it. My growth rate is abysmal. And no, I'm as autodidactic as the average /ic/er weaned off of Loomis and Vilppu memes.

Everything moves with purpose, humans/animals particularly. From experience, animating something without a clear objective in mind will cause you more grief than necessary and won't end up teaching you much.

that's what makes it sad to me, those people created some really amazing stuff and then disappeared, it's not even about an art carrier or competition who is better.
did they stop drawing completely, did they die, what kind of life are they leading now, do they hate their job, were they forced to quit drawing so they could support themselves, or because they didn't see a point going on, do they regret it
at what point most of us will become like them

This is the last update from a Japanese artist I really admire:

"I could not cope, and, I'm sorry, I weakened mentally
I update it little by little
Please do not refer to other people for me, and nobody other can answer about me"

That was a year ago now, and they haven't posted any updates anywhere.

>am sure will work harder without the daily obligation
Have fun playing CSGO or LoL or whatever else you'll be doing instead of drawing. If you want a bigger obligation join one of the try-hard clubs. I don't see how quitting the thing that has you drawing every day will make you draw more

Someone give me tips on fabrics flowing in the wind
>>
>>2522517
Think in large, flat ribbon chunks of various widths. Design shapes so that they enhance the mood you're going for, instead of trying to make it realistic. You probably should do at least a few studies of different types of cloth in the wind to get a feel for what's believable.
>>
Why do the worst submissions always insist on writing some random fucking shit on their canvas.I dont care about your life man. Just the drawing is enough
>>
>>2522505
Sometimes you just need a break
>>
>>2522528
of what? 30 minutes of drawing? really?
>>
>>2522532
No, from drawing every single day
>>
>>2522505
If I don't draw after I quit, I'll have myself to blame. Until now I've been diverting my blame to las so I don't feel guilty about drawing so little.
I can write about how the las system needs to demand more time spent on drawings, but that's just more excuses.

>>2522532
I can draw 30min/day, but that would be only for the win. And what do I win? Nothing.
>>
>>2522537
Go already

>>2522517
Consider the type of fabric. There are stiffer fabrics and more flexible types.

Ex. for a bell-shaped skirt:
a linen or cotton cloth skirt will still kind of hold the bell shape while being blown around.
A chiffon or rayon skirt won't hold a bell shape at all and falls on the body contours. In the wind, it'll have more erratic movements, like >>2522521 suggests, with thin ribbons, still trying to hug the body.

Seconding the flat ribbons idea, then just build them up. Lighting them should be easy too so long as you understand where the forms are. Lit side light, underside dark, cast shadows sharp, form shadows subtle.

If we're talking from reference, establish an accurate background color first. Easier when it's a fairly uniform color wall, or the sky, etc. Get that one color right, and you now have a reference to compare all other colors against. Once you have your second color down, you now have another reference to compare to. When comparing, it helps to focus on value first, then temperature. When needed, temperature can be broken down into more specific dimensions (hue and saturation).

If you're talking about pieces from imagination, then it helps to first build a mental library of how color and light works. Do still lifes, and master studies where you think color was handled well. You'll slowly internalize that stuff. Then when designing color, try to have balance. Balance cool colors with warm colors, dark colors with light colors, rich colors with mute colors. The balance doesn't need to be a 50/50 split, and probably shouldn't in many cases.

It also helps to do a ton of color thumbnails, both as a form of quick color studies from refs, and when designing color for an original painting.

Not really any forests but there's this nice patch of greenery that I found about a mile from my house and I have to hop a fence to get to it. When I'm there I do feel a bit better since All I can really hear is the birds chirping and all I see is trees, water, and some minor wildlife (geese, squirrels, birds) I think you have a point, I should probably try going there more often. Thanks

It gets better with practice. Find a sketching method that works for you and with practice it becomes second nature. For me it was negative space and plumb lines

its the frustrations of thinking that " youth is wasted on the young" but thats not true. life kicking my balls in is making me draw more i feel that the failure was a good thing in a way. if i was young i would waste my time i can bet on it. dont worry dog at least you get to not draw on high energy like lokki or with self hatred like me and you will still be decent by the age of 24 with CONSTANT easy low quantity studies and fan art.

Of course he posts in this thread, he's done so since the very beginning, if you'd pay attention you'd recognize his typing style. Here's a clue : he does critiques regularly.
