Last thread >>2455160
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.

also, http://www.lavaflake.com/draw/tribunal/?id=70 isn't working? (on the tribunal overview page it seems to be the same case as case #69 but the link goes to a blank page?)

I will bear this scar with shame. Never again.
Are we sure #69 is NSFW? It looks like a body suit judging by the slits on the sides of the arms and the lines along the sides of the body and over the top of her left leg
Topic of the Day voting thing is acting kinda funky, the vote bar disappears when I vote for "phobia"
The topics are fixed. The cooldowns only apply from when the system was put in place so it's possible that recent topics will still pop up occasionally but that'll happen less and less. It was also broken because it generated a topic that was removed and... yeah, that broke stuff.
tldr: it's working now and we may still the occasional repeated topic but that'll go away and within a month they should all be relatively fresh.
>>2459013
Oh turns out that case was deleted back when I did the first loli purge. Back then I would just delete the entry entirely but now with the new system it shows it as removed. I'll set it not to put removed entries into the tribunal

Anything really since you're the master of the drawing you make
>>2459068
>>2459083
The LAS threads are for more than shitposting or complaining to Lava that's something's broken. If people would like crit on things or advice on how to do something then they're completely allowed to post here, in fact that's kind of the point since we don't have crits or comments on the site itself.
If someone drops a leading question like "out of the flawless week 7ers, who do you think is the best at drawing dragon dicks" or something to try get their name mentioned though then by all means autistically shout at them to leave.
>>2459061
General rule of thumb, if your reference is above/below your image, triple check your vertical measurements, if it's at the side, triple check the horizontals. Looks mostly ok though, maybe move on to learning how to blend things next, you don't need to blend everything but some soft or lost edges here and there can make a piece much better.
Can't tell if you're improving unless you post a link to your blog or username on LAS so we can see your previous work.

>we have established from thread 1 on that this is not a critique thread
I've been here since Day -1, in every thread, and no such thing was decided. In this thread >>2349409 there was a lot of debate over having comments/critique on the site itself, and in this post >>2349624 Lava made a poll on the site to see what the people wanted. If those links don't work, that thread is archived here: https://boards.fireden.net/ic/thread/2349409/
The poll decided for no comments or crits on the LAS site itself, and that people can ask for critique or comments in these LAS threads, which is what they're for, or if they feel shy or don't want to get shitposted they can do it in the general draw threads.
There is no rules that these threads are not for critique, it's the opposite.

>>2459159
fuck YOU
>>2459170
>>2459114
You said:
>we have established from thread 1 on that this is not a critique thread
And were proven wrong, with sources, here: >>2459164
Now you're changing your argument to that you personally can't remember crits and helpful advice in these threads, but it doesn't seem like you've been here very long. Stella, jerrybreem and a number of others, especially beginners, have posted asking if they're making any progress and what they should focus on moving forward. Other people have asked for targeted help, like people asking poon how he gets such smooth flowing lines, or asking Anon313 or FmMood how much they use reference vs imagination, or asking JMGN how much time he spends on pieces and what his workflow is over the week.
I could go back through the thread archives again and show you these posts, but since you'll just change your argument again, there's not much point. The FACT, is that you are categorically wrong. These threads are for the critique and help of users of LAS. I don't understand why you're angry, is it because other people are asking for crits and getting attention when you're not, or the fact that this community is nicer than the general draw and alternative threads? Either way, you shouldn't be angry anon. LAS isn't hurting anyone, if you want to go argue then you know when the general threads are, and we'll be off page 1 in no time.
how do you join this
>>2459170
It's not like there's never any critique. The issue is that few people ask for critique and even fewer give critique unprompted.
Remember Lasses, do your part by offering constructive criticism to those who need it, take advantage of the thread by requesting help, and make this thread more about drawing than shitposting in general.
There's a new case #70 in the tribunal to replace the broken one

Thank god.
Also, even after voting, I can't see the results of the topic poll. Is it broken or will the topic be a mystery until 0:00 from now on? I hope not, because 0:00 is pretty late in the day for me and I like to think about what I'll do for the topic throughout the day and get a head start if I can so I can submit before I go to bed.

'Sup guys. How are you all tonight? I've been kind of feeling disillusioned tonight about art and life in general. I'm studying computer science but I really don't know if it's for me. Likewise for art, as I haven't really seen any improvement after 40~ days of doing this. I've started fantasizing about a career as an animator or comic book artist, but I feel like a nineteen-year-old just starting out drawing on a whim has a slim chance of getting good enough. Anyone have similar feelings? P.S. I'm drunk, so I apologize for any lack of clarity. Sorry for blog.
>>2459325
>19
Shit man, I wish I came to the conclusion that CS wasn't for me and decided to pursue Art at 19.
I'm in my early 20s now.
Way I saw it, CS had a decent and stable career path but if I were to be successful at it I would need to sink in tons of hours into studying code and thats just in uni. CS languages and technology are updated every single year and if you're going into it you should love it because prepare to keep learning even when you're off work.
So I asked myself, would I rather put in those hours learning CS or learning to do what I love?
Listen I'm still beginner tier and I may be a future starving artist, so think twice before taking advice from me, but you're still young and you still have time. Think about what kind of future you want and if you really, truly love art. How do you find out? Continue to draw. Draw every single day, not for LAS but for yourself. If, after a year, of studying and putting those studies to good use, you still feel that burning passion and desire for art then it may be what you've gotta do with your life. If not, keep it up as a hobby and look elsewhere for career choices.
If you're dedicated enough you can overcome that fear of failure and make it.
I may have rambled there but its late, I'm bloody tired and Im sleep deprived as is.
>>2459325
>I feel like a nineteen-year-old just starting out drawing on a whim has a slim chance of getting good enough
you are just looking for an excuse to fail and not feel bad that you did.
>>2459325
Shit, you sound just like my husband when he was your age. He dropped out of art school after a year and went straight into comp sci, only to find out he hated that too. He ended up doing a two-year machining program and he loves it. Has a good paying job too.
From my experience helping him through that, I'd say take a break to find out your passions on the most basic level. Do you like solving equations? Helping people? Building things? If you have the cash, take a few varied CC classes. If not, get a job or volunteer in a field you think you might grow to like. 19 really is young to start discovering those things. And you can always do art on the side. There are people in this thread with day jobs who still manage to draw every day. So don't feel like you're betraying yourself by not doing art.
Also, don't be a degenerate. Stop drinking until you're of age.
>>2459325
Definitely consider dropping out of CS. I got lucky and my biggest passion happens to be a growing scientific field, but that's not the reason I chose my career path. I absolutely know I would not be happy and I would deeply regret my choices if I was in a field I didn't love because it pays well. Think of it this way. You can waste a very large portion of your time on something unhappy so you have the money to buy luxuries that make you happy in the free time you have. Alternatively, you can be happy WHILE you work and you might have to cut corners, but there are many things you can do to make yourself happy outside of work without spending a lot of money. And you can be satisfied with your work and enjoy it every day and be excited by new challenges within it, rather than miserably suffering through like a stereotypical wageslave. Try exploring some other things because it is difficult to make it as an artist, but seriously, if you find that there's nothing you enjoy near as much as drawing, just go for it. Regretting your life when you're on your deathbed is a very sad prospect.
You can get good, just look at Lava. He's what, late twenties if I remember correctly? Look at the start of his blog, he was total shit. He's been drawing for less than a year and he's already getting pretty good, because he knows how to study. Obviously you don't have all day every day to draw, but I recommend taking a look at his study plan:
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/320461-Zero-to-Hero?p=3969825#post3969825
You're still young, you can definitely get good.
Why?
>>2459333
Hey man, thanks for the response. I'll definitely keep going for as long as I can and see where I end up as far as both disciplines go. I wish you luck, too.
>>2459338
Rereading what I wrote, I realize you're probably right and that I'm being a bit silly. I'll try to avoid thinking like that in the future. Have a good night.
>>2459342
Hasn't that faggot reported a few things for being anime? Fuck him.
Why do folks continue to label nudity as NSFW?
I thought that was reserved for depictions of sexual acts.
>>2459288
>>2459297
Huh, I didn't expect anyone to care. I appreciate it, but odds are, nothing will come of it.
The short: I want to start a fantasy animated show geared towards an adult demographic. The first step would be a webcomic of it, with some animated segments.
The long: I think as far as western adult animation hord, there's nothing outside of edgy/risque humor with "functional enough" animation. I love things like Futurama, but these shows are 100% carried by their writing alone. Nothing pushes the medium in interesting ways (exception: Superjail!), and comedy is always the priority.
Using this world that I'm building over several messy worddoc pages, I want to prove that western animation doesn't just have to be funny jokes directed at varying ages groups paired with mediocre artistic execution. I want to tell meaningful stories that people can relate to, using a medium with the capacity to inspire awe, curiosity and empathy. A masterwork animation series with timeless permanence.
The idea itself is sort of a slice-of-life/adventure set in a fantasy world. There's a small twist and I think that's what makes it unique, but then again, I don't know if I'm a good writer I am so it could just be bosh. I've had nightmares where I've started this project and the Bad Webcomics Wiki lists under Author Responses my solemn acknowledgement of their criticisms: "yeah, yeah, you're definitely right on all counts. i'm sorry to stain the web with my garbage."
I know these are silly romanticized dreams... I am well aware how stupid this is. I've futzed about through 2 years of high school and 3 years of college, dipping into art for an hour before giving up for a month. Thanks to LAS, I've practiced consistently for the first time ever, and I want to take flight this last summer. I'm scared, because once I start working full-time, I cannot practice enough to catch up. I don't want this dream to die, but I don't know if I have the bravery and will to do it.
>>2459340
>Also, don't be a degenerate. Stop drinking until you're of age.
Hey, I was of age a year ago where I'm from. Also, thanks for the advice.
>>2459341
Thanks for the wise words man, I'll definitely read through Lava's blog when I'm sober. I realize now that I'm probably being stupidly pessimistic anyway.
Sorry for shitting up the thread with my ramblings guys, I won;t do this again.
>>2459354
I think it depends on how prominent the nudity is and if the context is sexual. And it's better to be safe than sorry, especially since I assume most of us only have NSFW hidden when we really need to.
>>2459356

Makes it a bit embarassing that I'm just haphazardously floundering about in hopes that it teaches me how to cute animu girls. Well, I guess different people have different goals.
>>2459354
Would you want your boss seeing you looking at artistic nudes?
>>2459356
>I want to prove that western animation doesn't just have to be funny jokes directed at varying ages groups paired with mediocre artistic execution.
I definitely empathize with this idea. You're right that it's unrealistic, but that doesn't mean impossible. Do you have any sort of action plan? Obviously it would be near impossible to do by yourself, so are you planning on hiring animators/writers/composers/etc and assembling a team once you're earning enough money? It seems very difficult to make such a large-scale project, especially if you're aiming for greatness, if you're not even working in art.
>>2459357
>Sorry for shitting up the thread with my ramblings guys, I won;t do this again.
Hey, it's more interesting than shitposts.
>>2459360
I don't think we could have a better leader. He really is inspiring.
yo Java, is all your work from reference or do you have some imagination stuff sprinkled in as well?
>>2459368
> do you have any sort of action plan
First steps are first, so before I can even think about arranging any massive scheme, I need to polish my fundamentals to a razor sharp point. I think one thing that lit a fire under my ass is observing Murata working on One Punch Man. Maybe not to the extent of his obscene abilities, but constructive mastery is essential. For animation specifically, anatomical knowledge, bio-mechanics, cinematography and understanding how to distort all these elements in glorious motion with ease is the kind of understanding I want to one day have. This alone is a daunting task, and the best work I've done so far would only get "needs more Loomis" as a critique on this board, so I've got a long journey ahead of me.
> near impossible to do by yourself
Yeah, that's something I have to confront. I think when I start doing the webcomic, it'll initially be 100% independent. I want to see what kind of momentum this idea can pick up as far as critical response and fanbase is concerned. If it turns out I did indeed have an excellent idea and it picks up either fanbase momentum or critical acclaim, I can think about the next step. Homestuck (ugh), for instance, is an example of how a popular idea can cause talent to gravitate towards and supplement its development.
While I haven't read/watched it, RWBY happened, so I could look into how that got started and take similar steps in making it a web series.
The other option is after the webcomic "proof of concept" stage, is to pitch the idea to a television network, but I don't know many details about how that works.
but all that is useless speculation if i haven't gotted gud i spend enough time daydreaming as it is
>>2459375
> cinematography
i meant choreography
sorry its late
>>2459359
Your lack confidence. Don't be ashamed.
As a creator I think one of the hardest hurdles to get over is explaining your ideas and trusting that your audience won't think lesser of you. LAS is a good place though. Lots of us have ideas for comics or films. You're not alone here. When you get your project off the ground, link here. I wouldn't mind proofreading scripts or storyboards if you'd like.
>>2459378
Fuck it's late. That's a lot of typos.

I'll take you up on that offer, anon, but that'll probably be at least two years later minimum and two decades maximum. I wonder if you and LAS will still be around by then.

It upsets me when people get eliminated and don't return. I'm just doing art as a hobby and going toward a career in something else, but I'll be so happy if something big comes out of this, so good luck. I'm still planning on sticking around, I should be drawing every day anyways and I like the community, just won't join the hypothetical studio.
>>2459391
You're very close to making a huge mistake...stay under the radar..

Half and half. I always study before I try from imagination and if it's important I'll keep practicing in my sketchbook while I move on to the next subject. I'm studying and practicing facial features digitally but I'm still practicing hands, skulls and head shapes in my sketchbooks

you're a fucking kid
you have no idea what I would give to go back to that age and start drawing
>>2459408
We were all in school at the time and everyone always acted really enthusiastic when I brought it up. They could've jut told me no from the start.
Besides, I was the animator. I was looking for an idea guy.
>>2459479
I think I've heard you talk about this before. Have you posted something about this before? I think you said something about how all of your art school friends all lost their motivation/passion after a while and just gave up. You the same guy?

I suppose that's true, but engineers are always necessary for society and you can work in developing countries. Art is 1000x times more risky than engineering to make a living of m8. Even if you become a pro the pay will still be shit and the companies will play with you like a puppet.
>>2459637
Protip: You'll be a 1000x more satisfied working on something you really enjoy vs something that just brings in the big money.
There's a reason happiness has a pay cap and its not as high as one might think.
>>2459640
Protip: You will not be satisfied if you can't pay the bills, regardless if you chose a career you love. The "follow your dreams" mentality only works if you can live off of them

>>2459643
All you really need to pay the bills is to reach an acceptable skill level, which is more than manageable. Just takes a lot of grinding. People who don't make it fail at the grinding.
>>2459652
Not "best paying" per se but something tech-related that has actual job prospects. What people don't see is that most of those jobs are for code monkeys and even those are being heavily outsourced. Thanks Obama.

When you update can we just download that update or do we need to get the entire thing down again?
>>2459686
very good question
>>2459679
>>2459681
I hope what I have collected lives up to just a fraction of your expectations, anon.
>>2459686
I'll have the "base" lewd folder, and wont change what's there, but every week/fortnight/month I'll create a new folder which is just labeled with the update date.
In there, there will be a new subset of panties, big boobs, puffy nipples, camel toe, femdom, whatever else I collect since last updating.
I guess you can make a request if you want a certain kind, and I'll keep an eye out for it.
>>2459532
>>2459696
Sounds good. If you don't mind, I personally would appreciate if the uploading of the non-lewd reference folder were a priority to the updates.
In any case, thanks again for your generosity anon.
>MFW the site goes down because lava is too busy downloading 50gigabytes of lewds to notice
>>2459705
>mfw dozens of week 1ers failed to upload because their internet is being choked with all the lewds they're downloading
>>2459704
No problem!
I'll get it uploading, although to be honest there are a lot of lewd things in the rest of the folders, just... slightly less?.
I've been trying to find a source for some interesting sfw fashion references I can easily download, although it's hard to find something reliable.
I saw these threads surface like 2 months ago or so.
Have there been people who draw every day from the beginning? Has any of you improved in some way? Or is it all circle jerk?
>>2459713
>>2459721
Lurk more
>>2459721
https://boards.fireden.net/ic/search/subject/last artist standing/type/op/
>>2459721
I've drawn every day for the last 12 weeks, and I have really improved. I used to spend about an hour a day drawing if I felt like it, and now I spend 6-8 hours minimum.
Talking to everyone about techniques has really helped me to improve my weak areas. Even though I'm still trash, and I wont be for good another decade, LAS has really motivated me to stay focused.
>>2459736
Are you neet? I can only do 4 hours max on weekends because I have a day job
>>2459739
Sounds more like you're making excuses.
>>2459740
I can't draw if I have no food on the table
>>2459739
I wake up at 7:50, leave for work at 8, draw on the train, get to work at 9, work until 5 (or go to uni from 3-5), review notes on the train home, get home at 6, put dinner on, draw until 2-3am, shower for tomorrow, and then sleep.
>>2459721
I've been doing it every single day since day one. I think I'm improving. I've been doing a mixture of studies and from-imagination stuff, and I'm trying to apply my studies. A lot of days I don't have enough time to do anything significant (full-time student), but even then it's better than not drawing. At the very least, my productivity has increased immensely. I cannot understate how much this has improved my productivity. There is some circlejerking but most of us are actually trying to improve.
>>2459741
You can draw when you're eating at that table or shitting it out. That gives around an hour a day of drawing time.
You could probably find another hour before going to bed or before getting up.
Someone give me a book on drawing machinery
>>2459744
>wake up at 7:50
>stay up 'til 2-3am
Those sound like some bad habits desu.
>>2459755
Scott Robertson has some pretty good books on that.
>>2459663
Grinding what? Problem is lack of imagination, thats why i chose a career that doesnt require it.
Not that anon, but also a STEMcuck
>>2459744
Casualfag, you dont belong here.
>>2459758
I've been getting up at 7:20 and going to bed at 3-4:00 almost every day for the past couple of weeks. Help.
>>2459766
I-I'm sorry! I have some money saved up, so I guess I can stop working and draw for 20 hours a day
That's cute, jp.
>>2459640

yeah but he colored them dude, i think they're super kawaii
>>2459762
Thanks, looking at the how to draw book. Might be too basic at times but looks solid, can always skim over something if it's a topic I've already been through and practiced a lot. I only really know how to do figures, so a ground-up book focusing more on objects should do me some good.
>>2459793
It starts with pretty basic stuff, but he goes more into detail by the end of the book.
>>2459532

WAT IS THIS DEVIL FILE EXTENSION AND HOW THE HELL DO YOU OPEN IT
>>2459793
I got the book 'cause I'm doing a sci-fi thing and I wanted to get better at proper mechanical design. Can't recommend the book enough.
He explains some really quick and simple methods to get shit done really fast and very accurately. I think it's hands down the best perspective book available.
I also think How to Render is better than James Gurney's Color and Light, with the only exception that Color and Light covers figure drawing better (rather than just surfaces) and is more helpful when it comes to traditional painting.

What do I even DRAW?!
>>2459882
for master, or just in general?
>>2459681
Bondagefairy is not a girl
>>2459894
in general. People here draw anywhere from 6 to 19 hours (looking at you, fairy), and I'm just thinking "WHAT should I even draw that could take this long".
>>2459900
Have you seen her hands?
>>2459123
Dude, everybody hates their job. Even artfags hate their jobs because 99% of the shit they do isn't what they wanted. Even the billionaire CEO's/investors hate their jobs. But people do them because it makes a shitload of money.
That's why I'm better than you, because I'm smarter and stronger-willed. You can go ahead Draw pretty pictures while in your parents basement I'll live a normal life of money, women, food and entertainment.

draw the thing you like to draw the most. Look at it, its not perfect, make a list of the things it lacks and could be better, study, rinse and repeat.
Plz no phobia, that's too personal.

could you guys stop it already? Those are levels of irony that noone should ever have to experience
>>2459902
No they don't, they actually just draw for like 2 hours in between facebooking/watching anime/playing CSGO then they 'wow look at the time' and start bragging to /ic/. That's why this board is horrible, it's the echo chamber of all the lazys who'll never make it. And like 10% of them are actually good artists.

There will always be demand for STEM jobs. It's really that simple.
Also, schools are more willing to financially support STEM students, especially in grad school. If you're poor, go into research. Any grad program worth its salt will either cover or offer you work to cover your costs while working on a Doctorate. You can even skip Masters in some fields.
