Depends on the medium. I usually sketch and shit on printer paper.

I like Fabriano, but each sheet is expensive af.

I like the bond paper of 140gr

Why would you have a lantern on your stringed instrument? The weight would cause the wood to bend alternating the tune. And since its a swinging weight the bend wouldn't be consistent causing an absolutely horrible off-tune sound constantly.

You do know that there are plenty of ways to just stretch them to the correct ratio as a batch in under a minute, right? Even just going through and doing it by hand would have been quicker than making your OP image. Photoshop macros (I'm guessing, I haven't used it in forever) or Gimp scripts could do this without even having to touch a terminal.

You'll loose some quality, but it's not like they're ruined.

Well skin is different due to subsurface scattering. For most things you darken and desaturate, for skin you darken and saturate.

Hello, Satan.

For starters, read the sticky.

Secondly, use your tablet for everything you do online in place of a mouse. You'll adapt quickly.

Nope, nope...
Taking into account a possible lack of motor skills with the tablet and understanding of the software, you are not "an above average artist" with pen, pencil, crayons, markers, paint, dirt&stick, or whatever the fuck you choose.

There are so many issues with proportions, perspective, lighting, etc. that can't be chalked up to "derp it's a different medium der".

You're like some dipshit 4th grader that is better at multiplication than the other kids in class deciding he's better than the average mathematician even though not a single kid in the class, nor the teacher, qualify for use of the term. Oh, well, I know CPR, and I bet 90+ percent of the population doesn't because they have 0 interest. So, that makes me a better M.D. than the average person, right? No. It means you know CPR... 1 thing, and compared to actual doctors you would be tied for worst alongside everyone else that knows CPR and nothing else that pertains to the field... and you must see how silly that would be fore some asshat to say they're a better than average doctor because they count everyone in the population as a doctor. That's you. That is what you're doing right now.

You compare your work to people that don't draw and think it's better, and that's how your fucking dunning-kruger outlook on your garbage artwork has formed... how about you compare it to actual artists for a fucking change. It may humble your stupid ass enough to realize you're a below-average-shit at art, and a gay retard. Then you might recognize some of your mistakes and actually put forth an effort to improve rather than resting on laurels you don't have.

Here's a tip! Fuck you, you suck, your parents know you suck, your art teachers sucked, and you should probably enroll in trade school to be an underwater welder or some shit while you have the chance.

How do I visual library something like this?

>>2430365

You don't usually start with the finished product as an image in your head. You draw from things you know. You experiment and design.

Lots of people who do stuff like that do thumbnail sketches and quick designs before they settle on one to polish. They throw shit at the wall and see what sticks, and use different elements of different things they know.

I drew 250 vaginas. The instructions need to be clearer.

Nice map anon. Sadly not sure what kind of paper would be best, I don't print a lot, but I'll bump out of interest.

Had that big map of Faerun they had made for 5e dnd on cloth @ a sign making company, turned out great and its big enough so we use it as a table cloth while playing.

I decided not to laminate it because it was too big to keep around with out being able to fold it

Manga studio aka ComicStudio aka Clip Studio Paint would be appropriate for traditional comics.

webcomics are made in whatever, it's up to the author skill
