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.

It's somehow better than....you know what I think you know who has been crisped enough for the night.

no one follows your shitty meme life drama
I fell for the no colors, just values meme, and for years I didn'd bother coloring anything.
Now I can't use colors for shit.
How do I learn color?
The sticky resource wasn't much help. I understand the theory and can't apply.
Look at other's people art and how they applied color, DO IT MORE, and watch some Marco Bucci https://youtu.be/nINus0lYQjo
it's really straight forward, I don't know if you're expecting some kind of special trick that's gonna make you learn color instantly.
>>2507006
Post your work. If you really do have good values then learning colour will come easier since value is the largest component of it.
I recommend just doing lots of quick colour studies. Spend maybe 20 or 30 minutes on each painting. Set up still lifes, do master copies, studies from photos etc.
When it comes to colour the order of importance goes Value>Temperature>Saturation>Hue.
http://www.huevaluechroma.com/
This site will explain all the theory you need.
Who told you no colors just values?
I've heard 'values are more important than colors' which is true, not "ignore color entirely and just do values" unless you mean people suggesting it as a tool to learn value.
You still need to actually learn colors, understand value is just a vital element of that.
While you're coloring, if it's digital, greyscale it every now and then and check your values that way. If you have a marginal understanding of value from that year you spent you can usually quite quickly find out what's off about your colors by finding what's off about their value.
I figured with all the cool ref images that are being posted in the ref threads, we might as well revive our old char design challenge threads.
Do a character design based on the ref photo. How close you wanna stick to it is up to you, stylized or realistic, whatever you want. Just no direct studies.
>>2503572
Direct studies?
>>2503603
As in, don't just draw exactly what you see in the photo.

interesting idea and choice

Iktf, just change class to LAS.
Just continue drawing m8, sooner or later you'll be happy with what you can do.

Like the title says, let's share photoshop plugins we find useful for drawing and painting.
Coolorus - color wheel for photoshop with neat features like complementary colors, gamut lock, etc. Serious improvement over stock color picker.
Lazy Nezumi - actually not just a stabilizer. It comes with features like fixed angle lines, radial lines, perspective tools, etc. Also, stabilizer.
>>2508970
persp tools
rahll 3d tool
mix colors and color picker
those are all I use.

Mister Retro
Fractalius
GuideGuide
Nik Collection
>>2508970
Those two you mentioned, as well as Carapace from the Unreal developers. It lets you draw a perspective grid over a picture and export it. Not a PS plugin, but I use it often enough.
Environment art thread? Every thread on this board seems to be about figure drawing.
Post progress/tips/crits/whatever
Seconding this thread. Mostly looking for books on the subject. There are a million books on figure drawing but I'm having trouble finding resources on environment art that aren't Alyn Crawshaw's "Watercolour landscapes for pensioners" type books.
Lookin for an enviro crit on if I should remove the caption, I have also posted in the draw thread
>>2512704
>crit on if I should remove the caption
yes.
Alright boys, it's time of this thread again.
Commission thread. how to get into making them, where the best place is to gather them. the best tactics for marketing yourself.
I want to jump in but am a little hesitant. I'm not looking to rake in a shit ton of money, but rather just a little cash on the side. But because of this, I need to set a training regimen to be ready in a month or so. One where I can easily replicate common poses people ask for. I think of doing studies of a handful of successful artist who do commissions and going from there.
anyone with experience in this? been through this? got stories to tell and tips to share? slap them in here

is blindly jumping into it really the best move though?
>>2510306
Better to jump than to have never jumped at all.
Starting early is always better than starting too late.
>want to do illustration in an art academy

>independent works, no class assignments
>At least 15 works
>I've been a neet for 2 years now and have done jack shit

They're asking for drawing, sketches, videos, animations etc.
Is this doable in 20 days? I'm freaking out
>>2511891
If you bust your ass off maybe.
I have a folio thing coming up in October and am freaking the fuck out though.
>>2511891
It would be possible but difficult for someone who did art on a regular basis. If you have been NEET for 2 years though and not done anything then your work ethic will be shit and you aren't gonna be very fast at art either. So it will be next to impossible. It might be better to just wait a year and try for the next one. And in the mean time don't waste it away again doing jack shit, but spend that year working on art and a couple months of it working on your entrance portfolio. Presumably spending another year NEET is possible for you if you did 2 years already.
Try to find a life drawing session and go there. You can get probably a couple drawings for your portfolio there, like maybe a couple gestures and a longer pose.
Do some still lifes or self portraits at home.
That will give you a base of observational inclusions for your portfolio. Depending on the school they may want some things that are more creative too. Do a bit of research into what they recommend, or what previous people have done that have gotten accepted. Many people post their entrance portfolios online with their scores.
Is it doable? Yes. Should you do it? No. The big problem is that you're drawing everything in a small amount of time, so it doesn't allow you to explore or experiment, and there won't be any change in skill level. They might pick up on that.
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make your mom proud.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, There is a question thread for that.
Visit the usual "Art book Thread" to find your desired books. (Or look in the new sticky)
Do not forget to PLEASE RESIZE and crop your images before uploading them. 1kpx is fine.

Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

some perspective work.

simple shape/ good for b/w
Does somebody have any interesting concept arts/alike from video games with interesting character/location designs? Maybe some suggestions for artbooks? Silent Hill games, and Dark Souls games are really good imo, picture is just of resolution

Let's just say you got into a horrible accident and lost both your hands in an accident.
How would you deal with that?
I guess I have to get used to feet then. Have to fap with something.
I'd just shitpost through vocaroo

I have such shitty carpal tunnel I practically paint like my form arm isn't there anyways since it is either in incredibly pain or completely numb. I just sorta grip the in a way that it stays still and move my whole arm to draw on my display.
I could see using a prosthetic like that easily.
