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.
Do not forget to PLEASE RESIZE and crop your images before uploading them. 1kpx is fine.

Post any OC, references, tips, favorites, experience, anything related to pixel art. Also if you're interested in pixel art I recommend @Pixel_Dailies. I'll upload some OC to start off
Is there a way to become more positive about your own work? I believe I'm a bit above average, I've done commissions, people online like my stuff and I see it posted regularly, yet I hate my own work and every time I post a drawing I get caught up in the small imperfections and nearly have a panic attack. I've become so afraid with quality and the fear of being judged that I'm nearly drawing any more.
I want to get to a point where I can accept my shortcomings, not get hung up on them, and learn from them, but I also don't want to become blinded... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Work as hard as you can, so that, while you might not even like what you've made, you can honestly say: "Well I did my best, so I've at least gotten better for having made something not so good".
>>2504230 It's probably very individual. I'm highly critical of my own work, and feel like I'm completely blind to my own style and the positive qualities of my art. I'm a perfectionist and obsess over details that probably don't matter, and I have no idea what other people see when they look at my art. I rarely get negative criticism and people seem to really like my art, and while I have a ballpark idea about where my skill level is at, I really don't know where others would place me.

>>2504240 I've gotten that advice here before when finishing a commission and it definitely helps me get stuff out, I just wish it would also improve my disposition to my work. >>2504243 It's like listening to myself. I think the worst part is that blindness. You get your skills up to a certain point and then you just become blind to what's good or bad about your art and it leaves you in this nervous empathy. It's like you can't see the whole picture.
can anyone give me any pointers/critique/comment regarding this autoportrait i did in manga studio and photoshop? this is the first time i actually tried when doing artwork and I'd really like to keep improving
So, I'm doing some freelance work for this guy; mostly shirt designs and some comic pages. Everything has been just fine with the guy, I had no problems at all until a few days ago, he mailed me asking if I could remove my signature for the cover artwork I did for him. I don't want to remove my signature and we didn't talk about anything regarding this issue in the past; I also can't understand why my signature shouldn't be on the cover being the excuse that my cover is "for a special edition of the comic without title or names". Any advice... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2505897 To be honest, signatures don't belong on covers. Most covers don't have them, you should get credited for it though unless you agree to it for more money.
Most high schools have an ap art class right? At the end you have a exam you take by submiting you best pieces and let some proffesors or something look at them and then tell you your score. Does the score even matter? On what principals do they grade it? Do you think they are bias towards different styles and mediums (Etc)? What are your opinions on the test?
>>2504663 There's going to always be bias in any judging of art since in order to judge it you need to lay down set criteria, and doing that automatically favours some things and excludes others. There's literally no objective way to measure the value of art, and the sooner you accept this the better.
I wouldn't overthink it though. If you want to get into art school they will look at your entrance portfolio and maybe your GPA. Whether or not you got a good score in AP class, or whether you even did AP... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
i took it in high school, i think i got 5/6 or something
they basically want observational drawings ie still lives portraits and landscapes done in traditional media. you have to do 20 drawings with 10 of them needing a cohesive theme. mine was tools because literally everything is a tool.
i dont think the ap has helped me with anything though, i think if you want to go to normal colleges it helps but art colleges just care about the quality of your portfolio but it differs from a case by case basis so im not sure
what can I do to make this more realistic??? my art teacher said that there wasn't enough detail in this for me to hand it in. I've already put individual hairs for the face and I spent an hour on the horns. I'm stuck ＼(;´□｀)/
If you're going for speed just take a picture of your own hands in the desired pose and use it as a reference. For long term improvement just do daily hand studies.
Probably the most common issue I see with beginners, and I'm guilty of doing it in the past, is going straight for the final product.
Try drawing something on one layer dropping the opacity of that layer to 40%, then redrawing it "better" on top of that image, do the same thing one more time over the the second layer.
I set up this platform in second life where artists can hang out and set up work like studios. So you could meet people and talk about their work and vice versa. Basically an international shared studio/collective. If you want to check it out get on Second life and send me a message (hans Starsider)
I'm starting to do figure drawing after avoiding it. In addition to people sketching and public and drawing from reference I have a plastic Halloween skeleton. It basically looks like the pic. Are the body and skull decently accurate?
