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.
lame.

Can I get an opinion on drawing through elbow as the pivot vs shoulder? I keep hearing that I should learn to draw from the shoulder, but drawing a line long enough to cover a sheet of paper doesn't need more than my elbow for me.

They're straight enough imo. Sure, they could definitely be straighter, but if they were already perfect I wouldn't be trying to practice or asking for help.
If I really needed a super straight perfect line, I'd just use a ruler at that point.

You can do value studies easily by picking an image you like with good lighting and turning it black and white. Here is some material I saved from /ic/ on values and value massing.
http://www.portraitartistforum.com/showthread.php?t=2238
http://www.erikgist.com/ErikGist_WattsAtelierFigureTutorial.pdf
Learning about value massing and trying it helped me a lot. Also if you don't want to study an image or it gets boring switch it up by painting a still life in b&w.
Color I'm not great at but master studies are always good. Since the focus is on color really try to get the colors as close as possible. You can check how off you were in hue or saturation by color picking.

Post your (You)s
What the fuck do people find interesting about overwatch. The art style is fucking horrendous.
Not saying anything bad about the artists who were paid to deliver a certain look. But why is it so fucking attractive to all of you fucking furry degenerates.
>>2534115
>>2534128
Its not bait you giant faggot, im just asking whats so appealing.
>>2534140
i dunno i like the art style what about it is so unappealing to you?
>>2534143
Everything.
>>2534140
Dunno I don't play games
>>2534161
uh oh someone tapped into the power of edge force.
>>2534161
Translation: I hate it because it's popular
>>2534171
No its just unappealing. Your statement doesn't make sense. I like a lot of popular stuff, that are popular for a reason. I just cant see the reasoning behind this overhyped, tf2 copy, overly vibrant piece of shit thats only made so that little pony fucking furry loving faggots can make disgusting fan-art and fap over it. I hope world war 3 kills all of you off.
>>2534174
Can you be any more of an edgelord?
>>2534174
I have seen zero overwatch fan art in my daily internet browsing routing. The only way you'd be exposed to any is if you frequent dA/tumblr/reddit/facebook/twitter/instagram/snapchat and if you do go to any of those places you're a faggot and your opinion is irrelevant
>>2534174
>>2534115
It's Blizzard. They pour money into advertising and visibility and the masses of casual gamers jump on board even though it's just a rehash like their last two games.
People draw it because it's the current trend and that's how you get viewers and make a name for yourself. By catering to shit and drawing whatever is in right now. You'll be seeing fanart of it for a month or two and then everyone will move on to the next big franchise.
That's how these things work anon it's pretty simple.
>>2534176
get the fuck out of here with your bullshit
>>2534178
You have to literally be fucking blind to not see this shit. And honestly if you dont use social media sites, you are not even remotely close to being successful as an artist or a person so shut the fuck up, your opinion is irrelevant.
>>2534179
Motherfucker is that what i asked? I asked why is it appealing to people. FUCK its like im talking to retards.
>>2534181
>its appealing because its has a good pixar-like art style and it looks nice
can you now leave and go be an edgelord over on reddit
>>2534183
u-uh, e-edgelord, r-reddit.
Disgusting
>>2534181
>why it's appealing to people
because blizzard, are you really this stupid
I love that this argument apparently couldn't take place in the Overwatch thread, one post down.
>>2534190
Go fuck yourself
>>2534181
Funny how I happen to have made it and yet don't pander on any social sites. Funny how that works, huh?
>>2534211
I can guarantee that that's not even close to being true. I'm not talking about pandering, if you don't have a social media presence, you don't exist as an artist nowadays, unless you're already established from way back. And you aren't. Keep living in your fantasy world tho

>>2534511
>toxic
this is bait, right?
have you ever noticed how beginner digital painters use way too many brush strokes? i've been watching painting tutorials from pros and they do a fraction of the work and get a much better painting than a noob.
does doing less come naturally with painting more or is it something you need to work towards?
i know that speed isn't something that comes with experience because there are slow as fuck pros
This las community has spiraled into the trash can. I'm dropping out and leaving the threads for good, hope you will see the light and do the same
Post your fucking drawings you worthless dickbags.
>>2534522
bye tumblr
stop drawing altogether while you're at your sissy fit
So now that we're 20 weeks (or however many weeks you're at), how is everyone feeling?
Have you slumped? Have you gotten out of it? Are you feeling any more confident? More productive?
Leaving this shit. Fuck you and your shitty circle jerk.
>>2534515
Not just digital, happens in every medium. Brush economy is something you need to really learn over time, I know JJ used to obsess over it like Sargent did. Meant he would paint pretty slowly at demos and such, but it's all about really thinking about where each stroke is going and what you want to do with it.
"No feature should be started until you have fully comprehended its character and have established in your mind the manner of its full accomplishment. To stop in the process of drawing the lines of a feature to inquire "what's next" is surely to leave a record of disconnection." - The Art Spirit, Robert Henri
Basically don't put brush to canvas until you know exactly what you want to do with the stroke. Direction, pressure, edges, everything. It takes longer and takes a lot of hard thinking, but is faster in the long run and means you can lay in the shapes with few strokes.
>>2534526
I've outgrown LAS. bye guys.
>>2534522
>>2534532

Circle jerk among santi and friends is all LAS is. HIM and his 8-10 group of friends replying to each other. Dropping out this shitty thread for good.
>>2534524
>bye tumblr
>he disagrees with me so he is tumblr + reddit
Being a 4channer doesn't mean putting up with all kinds of dull shits you know. It's funny how none of the other generals I frequent use terms as reddit or tumblr but it's particularly easy to find such comments around here. I'll let you guess why.
>>2534559
>I say it's bad, you better see the light that is my wisdom and follow me
get off that high horse, you nigger
first of all, you didn't disagree with me, because we didn't even have a conversation
your mentality to give up and run away is enough for me to put you on one level with a tumblrtard
and another thing
this site has become a melting pot for ledditors, tumblrtards and many other kinds of retards
I'll let you guess why
some days my art looks 10x worse than others
and I have to really wonder if this is normal?
Like I know the days I've done my worst are days where I've had a lot of real life emotional bullshit going on or I was really sick but I feel like my shit varies too damn much in terms of quality. I wish I knew a way to be more consistent.
i know im weak but im gonna try this again. maybe ill make it this time
>>2534566
Just try being less gay.
>>2534566
Everyone has bad days. If something sucks today, put it away and try it again tomorrow.
>>2534536
That's interesting thanks! I remember in Craig Mullins' Gnomon Workshop he talked about how digital might be diminishing the critical thinking skills of artists because there's no cost or consequence to your actions. Even paper was expensive for a long time so more thought and planning went into every step
>>2534566
That's normal. The quality of most of the work you make will be in a certain range. With experience that range condenses towards your better pieces, raising the average quality.
>>2534566
Like >>2534577 said you'll have off days and it's all about consistency. Whenever you make something you hate go back a month and look through your submissions from then until today. Are you repeating the same mistakes? Have you been working productively or are you drawing random things to meet the LAS deadline? I see a lot of people blaming the LAS for their shortcomings but everyone knows who's truly to blame.
Another reason for inconsistency, besides motivation issues, is having a comfort zone. You may not even realize it. Do your off days have something in common that you can work on?
>>2534584
everybody is in a comfort zone. Name an artist and Ill tell you something they suck at.
>>2534584
you're right
usually my studies look much more "stable" than my imagination stuff
but its usually off days where I can't focus that I just opt to do pure imagination and no real studying.

Dear lassies, I regret to inform you that I, a week 1er, am hereby forfeiting my token and leaving Last Artist Standing.

>>2534769
All meming aside, these threads have been going a bit downhill. Both in terms of quality and quantity. I mean we used to get a thousand posts per thread but last time we barely hit 500. I think a lot of people are just getting tired of the repetitiveness of the threads and are only submitting to the site. The community seemed kinda special when it first started out but now I don't know what it is but reading through these threads has just become laborious. I'd probably leave if I wasn't 100+ days in already tbqh.

>>2534594
having something you suck at doesn't mean you're in a comfort zone
It's impossible to be good at everything, literally every artist has somethings that they suck at, a comfort zone is when you purposefully avoid doing anything other than the one or two things you know how to do.
urgh, someone draw for me, I'm too tired today
>>2534774
>>2534785
>It has nothing to do with the front page
Except that when it's on the front page it gets more attention, particularly from autists who are bitter that they had to scroll past it to get to the standard page 1 draw thread, alt draw thread, how do I pornbux thread, guys isn't shadman so good thread, etc.
You can say it has nothing to do with the front page if you like, but you can track how many new IPs come into the thread on front page vs after the bump limit, likewise the number of posts on page one, especially bait posts which get a bunch of (you)s. There's always shitposting and terrible memes, sure, but the front page shitposting is by more non-LASsies, and so there tends to be more genuine anger behind it.

no shit, anon
obviously the IP count will slow, all the regular las posters have about 2 days to post at least once before the thread hits bump
