The sticky is actually a bait for beginners to make them generic, average artists. Every good artist has been learning in art schools and so on... It's pathetic to keep this illusion that everyone can make it.

I gave up seeing that you have to pay a lot of money to actually progress. What can I accomplish by drawing circles in Photoshop all day? You need a mentor, someone who can fix your shit and guide you. Of course you will still do most of the work.
Beginner animation thread?
How do I make shit smoother. This is all frame by frame free hand.
Here's my other one, less proud of this one. Don't like it at all.
there's an animation thread, anon, check the catalog
>>2390122
they're both shit, but at least this one is actually of something
So here is a story
>be me
>work as videogame artist sinse 2007 but always freelance only.
>ALWAYS using E-MAIL only. never had Skype talks except wiht 1 foreign friend 6-7 times
>fat
>shitty looking face because of that
>have no idea how to act on webcamera and talk
>I can write tons of text and ideas in non stop and impress my clients making their d/ic/ks go diamons
>but i dont have vocal/social skills so i probably wont do the same professional quality on camera
So im working with these people - husband and wife - they are Indie devs and i was making game with them for more than a year.
Now they having a sub-project and his wife sent me a message asking IF I HAVE SKYPE so we can quickly discuss ideas for it today.
I havent sleep properly for 2 days and look like an ass.
I didn't cut my hair (but that's ok i will use hair gel)
QUESTIONS:
What do?!
Is she checking me on adequacy? because there MIGHT be a chance of further working with them and going to their city to work in their office.
May be she wants to see me to see if im "cool" and not some weird ass moron?
I mean...im kinda am because i go to bed at 6AM and get up at 18:00PM because im a freelance artist so i dont care about my life.
And i didn't cared about my look either because i thought that my art skills should be the priority and i quickly can "return back to Normal" when time comes.
Im not ready for today's skype talk!!!
But how to tell her? Hooly shit...I don't even have a proper look of my room because im a dork and at the back i have a shelf full of toys (no not anime girls, just some toys like TMNT action figures and stuff like that) and it will take time to remove that shelf.
Please help!
Do Indie Developers even care about look of their artists they working with?
Does my look of a "shitty sleepy face" even matters?
Should i wear better clothes when going to Skype? Or should i look more causal but not too "poor"?
I just REALLY dont want to make a bad impression.
>>2391989
Also sorry for my enlglish-that's not my language.
ALSO an important question - can i politely tell them "TEXT ONLY"?
And will it scare them away making them think that im some kind of weirdo that dont want to show his face?
Should i tell something like "oh im sorry i didnt sleep properly so i look awful!" joking about that so it will look "clean"?
>>2391989
I've personally ever equated skyping with camming. I've only used a headset on skype. Have they specifically asked to cam with you and see your face? If not they might just want to talk to you and then it's no different than a phone call. Or, you could just tell them that you don't have a cam you know.
>>2391989
I can see why you posted this here but this is more of a /adv/ thing man.
I would use that board in the future.
In my opinion though, get the fuck up and go get a haircut.
Take a shower and shave. Then be a professional and talk to them.
Shes a married woman man, who cares? You're going to talk strictly business.
If they freak out about your appearance for some stupid reason then fuck em.
But you need to work on that.
Just because you are a freelance artist does not mean that you shouldn't take care of yourself.
Have some self respect for Christ's sake. Go clean yourself up.
Going to the gym once a week wouldn't hurt either you fat fuck.
/ic/, what tips do you have for blending with a Photoshop hard round brush? Particularly in as few strokes as possible, and without leaving a shitton of overlapping muddy strokes.
If you don't have tips, let's make this into a challenge for ourselves. Try to make a reasonably rendered sketch using a hard round while abiding by the constraints below:
No blending modes, no more than one layer, no size jitter, flow and opacity only, non-pressure flow and opacity at 100%, spacing at 25%, hardness at 100%. No eraser. White BG.
And before anyone gets on my ass while ranting about how digital shouldn't be treated as traditional, stop trying to act superior, blah blah, this really isn't about that at all.
I want to improve my skills, particularly to develop the ability to do more with less. No condescension, just want to improve my fundamentals and simply be better. If any of you anons have advice, it'd be much appreciated.
If you guys want an example of what I'm on about, Anthony Jones' "Alleb" and "Jas" videos kinda get the point when smudge brush isnt introduced (inb4 someone brings up another Jones shitstorm)
>>2391074
shove your constraints up your asshole faggot
you wanna learn how to blend in ps or how to eat soup with chopsticks?
>>2391088
Easy there, commando. It's just a challenge. Don't let it scare you too badly, now.
Last Thread >>2379650
This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make stylized work 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, have fun!

ps don't make threads in my place, dipshit, k thanks.
Can I get a critique? Suggestions?
Pretty please with sugar on top.
>>2385747
Lineweight is too strong on the dino desu. Remember the lightsource.
I'm a beginner artist and I want to draw like pic related, what techniques should I practice or what books should I buy?
Anyone?
So I've been at this drawing for months. What do you guys think I should fix?
>>2391289
kill yourself
>>2391295
Why? What did I do wrong? I did a lot of detail into it.
>>2391296
next time shrink your resolution
Let's have a thread where we can share our progress of doing Bargue plates, starting with the first one!
How to "Charles Bargue" plates?
I'm having difficulty at doing the first eye of the first plate of this exercise. I even borrowed an easel and all to do this and I couldn't even set the grid properly. The lines just come out wriggly. Am I going too fast? Is the overhand grip the right one for doing these exercises?
Am I doing it right?
>>2390659
resize your images god dammit
>the lines just come out wriggly
use a ruler, draw the grid first. It's there to help you sight and measure.
Does this painting suck?
Pretentious
It's not rendered out, but what's actually there is pretty good
Hard to read, but the colours are pretty. Polish it more and it'll be sexy.
So it doesn't suck, just not done yet
Why is it so hard to profit from making porn?
Same guy. He made a thread on Newgrounds.
>>2389479
Is this you OP?
Here's why people fail
>draws like shit
>no followers/fanbase (need min 100,000 to make $1000/mo)
Why would someone pay for a pic of feces?
Why would someone pay a non-famous artist they can't show off to their friends on IG?
You have no value until you get good.
You have no market until you get well-known.
Are you guys actually saying no where on the internet does this exist for free download?
>>2388283
I've seen the book, one of my friends has it. There are about half a dozen artists worth looking at, the rest look like they came from here.
>>2388283
who gives a shit
I made this music video thing. it's only about two minutes long. care to critique?
https://vimeo.com/154692522
is anyone else having trouble with vimeo? the videos don't even start anymore
i love the tones of black and white in this. like a lot
I would probably slow the clips down and make fading transitions to make the video more interesting and give it a better flow along with the music. Also I think you forgot to remove the sound on the second to last clip
After drawing on paper for ages, I wanna try out some tablets, what are some properly functioning ones that are in the low-mid price range?
Wacom anything. I switch between a cintiq and a cheapo bamboo fun, both get the job done equally well. You can't go wrong with wacom™
>>2390689
avoid small versions, not good for your wrist
Is this one any good?

I'm going to my first live draw session tonight I thought I'd post some sketches I've done, worried that my stuff is pleb their and I should practice more before I go to one
>>2390639
>That my stuff is pleb their
Your sentence makes no sense whatsoever.
You're still symbol-drawing, so you wont get much out of life-drawing-sessions at this point. It would be more or less a total waste of money. You have to learn how to observe, and how to draw first.
>pleb tier
And I thought it would be useful to go to for references rather than pictures
Also these took me about 10 mins each
What do you suggest then?
>>2390644
anon, keep going to them. but look at other artist's works and talk to them too.
>>2390640 is absolutely right. you're drawing animu symbols when you have a real human being alive in front of you. if you can't see that difference, you are wasting your time and money going to the sessions. you can make these same "references" at home looking up pictures. at this stage, you might be better off doing that and grinding anatomy (boxes).
you're brave to go (it's frightening to draw in front of/with others, no?). your time will be worth much more if you actually talk to other people. at the least, say hi to whoever the best artist is.
Hey /ic/ I just recently started getting into making comics but something isn't clicking with my technique. Wondering if there is anyone else who makes comics who can give any advice.
Starting with some of the panels i'm more happy with.
