How dead I am?
you bad very are
The arm looks so thin, even if the arm blade is doing downwards its still to thin
>>2583371
Disagree. I think the thin arms give it more character than the photo would have otherwise. Very generic with """"correct"""" proportions.

Hey lads, do you think this sort of style would work for a comic?
How can I further improve my lines? (I plan to add some easy colours later)
>>2590095
Very cute anon, reminds me a bit of some of Bones' stuff for some reason. Looks pretty solid to me, I like your lines too.

Tattoo artists say that if you want to tattoo you need years of practice and need to make a career out of it.
I am more interested in painting canvases and working as a graphic designer and I am not convinced.

Looks like a Honda CRX.
Is there any advantage in going to art school if you are a heavily motivated and productive learner on your own? I'm 25 already. :/
I want to know if I should shell out $40,000 over 4 years or just learn it all by myself online, likely still paying a few grand for the premium stuff and tools.
Do you have a good free museum near you? If so, you could go there very often and study there instead.

I didnt go to art school til I was 26... I don't regret a day of it. You'd be surprised how many older students there are. That being said, my answer is yes, go to art school
Are there any stories of artists who worked hard, I mean really putting their heads to the grindstone type stuff? I want to be inspired by hearing about people busting their asses to make it. Pic not related

Read Bakuman, its a loosely biographical piece of the authors of Death Note.

An autobiography by a successful mangaka. There's some "nose to the grindstone" stuff in later chapters, but it's mainly a cautionary tale of the mistakes you make early in life. Lots of inspiring stuff.
Hi I'm a total newbie here just got myself a used Wacom Bamboo CTH-470.
I probably already said something to piss everyone off, but oh well.
I'm just gonna take some time to see what kind of drawings I can do with little to no instruction. So I'm not asking for tips on getting started. I know there is a sticky that probably has all of that.
My question is: When drawing with the tablet it won't start creating the line or move the cursor until I have moved a minimum amount. Is there a way to fix this or is that just how digital drawing is/because its a cheap tablet? Because it makes fine details pretty fucking difficult.
I had that same problem before but I don't remember how I solved it. However I did find something relevant.

I'd recommend googling "wacom tablet pen delay" and poking around there to see what works for you.
Best of luck
>>2590487
>he could have paid like $60 more and got a Huion Giano (i.e. easily the second best conventional tablet currently available) instead of Wacom's shittiest
Could what you're describing be a software problem? I have something like the opposite of that happen in Krita for example. After I am done making a stroke the cursor pauses for a second and then snaps to where it's supposed to be. Consider trying out a different brand of trial software (you did say "when drawing" though so that implies that it isn't happening outside of whatever software you're using) and make sure you disable all of windows' touch bullshit.

>Realize I could have learned it all in two days
I really doubt that
How do I develop my discipline /ic/?
do two hours next 12 days
push yourself
>>2588675
That was the plan.
I was going to do 1:30
Then 2 hours after that
The main issue is keeping my sanity between working in construction and drawing 2 hours a day.
>>2588675
I really don't want to burn out, but I don't want to limit myself and progress slowly.
I'm looking to have a tattoo done(around 8 inches tall), but the image I want doesn't exist.
I want an image of a female angel in metal armor, with an hourglass in her hand.
She could either be sitting like the middle right pose, or standing with a spear in her opposite hand.
I don't want to comission an artist before the work is made, because I don't want to pay for something I may hate. If anyone know of an image, or wants to make one, I'd love them forever. I'd be willing to pay for it provided I get to see it first
not that i am proposing that i indulge you in your degenerate attention whoring activities.
>I'd be willing to pay for it provided I get to see it first
what stops you from runing off with my hard labor ?
>>2586089
>i want free shit
sure bro ill get right on it
Why would I pay for something that could turn out complete garbage? I guess you'd just have to trust me. If I wanted to pay ahead of time, I'd go to a real artist who've I've already talked to, not ask random strangers on the internet.
>>2586151
And if I pay first, what stops you from running off with my money? Same question, equally stupid
>>2586170
I'll pay for it if I use it, but why would I pre pay for garbage? I already know an artist who...

Any professional animators on /ic/,
How do I get faster? Ive been working at a small studio for about 3 months, 2 months interning and 1 month full time. This is my first job out of college, so theres clearly a lot of on the job learning I'll be doing for the forseeable future. Im a good animator, but Im not all that quick about it. My boss and coworkers say it just takes time, but I feel like there has to be something that can help outside of just the animation I do at work. Anything?

So you think they are deliberately sabotaging you?
Outside of doing a bunch of stimulants, practice and time developing the skill is how you get faster. You aren't gonna get faster animating by doing something besides animating.
Also I'm not an animator, but this can generally be applied to just about...

good animation takes time
you're obviously good enough for the job or else they wouldn't have hired you
take your time, do it right
question tho, what is your job in the pipeline? are you doing actual keyframes and/or inbetweens, boarding sequences, layouts/backgrounds or any combination of the three?
>>2585609
Yeah youre right, Im just constantly worried im not doing well enough and ill lose the job. I have no reason to think that way based on the feedback Ive gotten but I obsessively worry like this in general. Its usually worse when I care a lot, which I do.
Any tutorials/downloads so I can draw like sakimichan/kronprinz?
Call me shameless but I really want to draw hot bitches

Or anything similar to them hell even its irakli
na-cunt I would gladly accept it, please fampais
I have a question about self-promotion. Being a classic example of reclusive artist I have no idea how social circles work. Posting art isn't a problem but figuring who to let people notice you is. I don't understand the process or getting from point A to point B. So my question is how can I go around promoting my blog, tumblr, whatever from the obscurity? How to show people you are out there?
Hashtags, submissions, & liking other peoples work.
Make work that is shareable and complete - not just half-assed sketches.
Series of related work are far more shareable than one-off illustrations.
Make work that is funny.
Make work that incorporates pop-culture themes or figures.
Don't make generic fantasy/sci-fi/concept art bullshit that the general population doesn't care about.

Are you sure? Tumblr seems to prefer quantity of completion. Everyone I follow posts half finished sketches, paintings with construction lines still visible, doodles, etc.. I guess because it's a blog, you have to have things to post pretty regularly for people to want to follow you. That's why I hate the tumblr format.
How do you practice your figures drawings? Do you draw each part of the body, like a construction? Or do you work by shades of color?
Doesn't "Building" the body through drawing makes you draw with symbols? For example do the head, but you draw what you feel look like the head.
Isn't it better to work with coloring zones of shadow and light? Coloring instead of drawing, if you know what I mean.
A study shouldn't look like left of pic rel? (I mean with the "look", not the quality of the figure)
>>2588592
The best way is to have something you can apply them for.
Say you want to draw a knight.
You think of an action this knight may be doing. For instance, fighting pose
Then, think of a pov in which you want to show him, at eye level? Low/high eye level?. Say, low eye level
Then you actually start drawing gestures of the pose you have in mind with a low horizon line. I like to do them with a big brush, so I can focus on the 3 major masses(head/ribcage/pelvis)
Then you continue with construction, this could...

>>2588606
To be honest I'm not able to do all that. I lack the basics of construction, I jumped over steps.
But when you draw a picture? You already have the gesture and the angle. How do you reproduce it?
Speaking of gesture, when you have your horizon lines and your vanishing point, how do you put a character with a gesture into that?

I'm a huge fan of this youtuber, Zoe Hong.

View the rest of her videos. She does things classically, but she's a fashion designer and illustrator second, so the emphasis is lax.
should I finish this or scrap it?
something feels off
>>2588046
Tbh, i don't really care he made a thread.
Only like 20 people one this damn board anyway, anyone at a certain skill level should get a personal thread. fuk it.
>>2588043
There's no real reason to not finish it, even if it isn't looking as good as you want it to look.
You're still in the early stages and you can make corrections. The thing that stands out most to me is the left elbow.
>>2588043
fix those arms brohamburger
What do you guys think of this?
>>2590564
I think it looks ugly as sin. *shrug*

that neck and shoulder anatomy leaves much to be desired. i also have no idea what's going on with the fingernails.
go to the beginner thread, anon.
