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.

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

There's a new sticky in town! You can see it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VfDTpLLVl5bWUGWguswKpPFml533luI8-NBd1EGYHnA/edit
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
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.

Thanks person, took me like 40 minutes. I didn't do much shading because I knew I would mess it up if I did.
This is really good. My only critique would be your line confidence seems to be pretty low and none of the lines are smooth. Try these exercises.

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.
Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, take a nude selfie and send it to your bestie!

I am a complete newb taking a few art classes this summer. They're each 3 hours once a week, so I will have about 30 hours of class experience by the end of the summer. How much progress will I make and how much should I practice outside of class?
>>2586945
I used to follow every how to draw manga tutorial on the internet, buy how to draw manga and was always on the look for the right materials for years.
Took 9 months of weekly 4 hour classes and really helped me a lot. It was not manga related, with real nude models.
The classes will likely teach you very little. If you are a complete beginner you might take more from it, but any intermediate who is serious about learning might find the classes lacking unless he has some luck in having a good teacher. If it's public college courses, there will be a mostly people who aren't serious about art, and the curriculum is lowered to match these, so they should at least have a chance at a passing grade. Or perhaps it will have people who are taking it as a hobby. They'll probably push some experimental contemporary art nonsense to you at the end of the course or second level courses after some very basic "fundamentals" which is barely enough training, if at all, to get anyone past being a beginner.
You should study everything you can outside of class. Focus everything on drawing. Have a curious attitude.
If you have a natural charm and show that you are serious about learning, teachers will love to have you around and might even invite you to sit in life drawing classes which you are not enrolled in.
>>2586945
is that pic from the classes you are going? if so you aren't going to learn anything, just lose time, unless you want to lose time, in which case it's fine
Crit me please

I'm by no means a pro, but here I go:
I generally like the linework, but it seems odd to me that the linework of the wing/the feathers is far more rough than the person's. This gives the impression that the person is based on some reference while the wing was drawn from imagination. It looks "added" - same goes for the burned wing, which by the way looks like it comes from the shoulder. The way the charred bones are perfectly black while everything else isn't seems strange to me. I'd rather try to add some texture to a white bone.
If you add the bones of the burned wing together you will see that either the intact wing is too big or the bones are too short (I'd assume the latter.)
I can't really interpret the facial epression, but maybe that's what you are going for. Other than that, the head is pretty good.
Hand looks a bit odd, I think the fingers might be too big.
The cloth needs more Burne "human swastika" Hogarth.
The chest might profit from a bit more texture.
The overall composition seems fine to me. Not exciting, but functional.
Not too bad for starters, I'd say.

Does oil painting work on bristol board (or drawing paper) ?
I just remembered that I still had my little box with oil paint and I could start painting again even if I'm not really good with colors.
You should first have to coat the entire surface with oil, either toned or plain. This is because if there is a patch of oil color, over the course of time the oil from it will creep out of its edge. I find the best way in working on paper is to add light colors and dark colors on to a toned surface, having more body in the light colors and some sort of thick medium (resin or oil) with the dark.The colors will sink in after drying and you can apply glaze over the dark to make them as you see fit.
I can't guarantee it will be archival.
>>2587907
I don't know anything about the materials to be honest. I just have brushes and tubes of oiled paint
I also have a flask of something who is supposed to make the whole thing "glossy"
>>2587887
I'm not an expert, but I do know that oil paint will ruin bare canvas over time, eventually destroying the work.
You should apply an acrylic gesso to the paper, just like you would with canvas.
