I'll join, will share brainstorm school foundation course files, as those are great examples an theory (not videos)
we should make a rank system inside the group, with a fixed % of participants to promote to next rank weekly, because to mix different skill levels won't help anyone
giving a fixed amount of feedback to other participants should be mandatory

>>2343690

It's okay, I'll set up the the files stuff. Are you talking about a rank system like what unmotivated does? You'll need to help me out with that one.

Hello, I'm really interested in joining but your group appears as 404 and theres like a million Harus on Skype

Could you verify your adress or maybe add me? M3gadriel

nigga just drag your picture over the reference and look at the differences

rib cage is wrong, you've simplified the negative space around it too much.
it should really be two lines under the breast, not one. almost like a triangle, not just a curve going downwards.

you have to measure, then work on points, angles, outlines, interior lines, form (volumes), divide value zones in two, then in four, and so on

Just do something else. Honestly, if you feel the need to drive yourself to do something cool on it, it's not gonna be great. Leave it for a while and if you really want to keep going with it, then you should.

yeah when you think "shit i want to draw" or "holy shit that would be an awesome draw" that the time to draw.
>btw cool skeletal.

>>2341278
Yeah I figured stepping back for a couple of days might give me some inspiration but I'm just drawing blanks.
>>2341296
Read above. I'm trying to figure out how to fill the horns. Brain farting like a fucking twat.
Thanks though

>>2340718
also im going out to eat in a second, but can someone leave a reply explaining how you draw digitally from reference? i'm on a macbook. do you just open it in a window and look back and forth? do you make it a layer and switch it on and off? what do you guys usually do

daily reminder:
If you're listening to music when drawing you're not really concentrating as hard as you should be.

>>2339652
This. I find it hard to carry on the internal dialog with music when I draw from life.

This is are real manly watercolor
not your tumblerina shit

It's hard to say what "real art" is when people have so many different opinions on it.

Fuck that game and it's impossible puzzles

>where does one obtain the knowledge for these things?

You study from life.

Wow that dude is amazing artist.
Thanks OP, for putting that pic there.

Sorry in advance op >>2338138 but your thread is nearing 100 posts over the bump limit and I was wondering if anybody was going to notice

>>2343309
Do we tripfag this shit, add a signature or...?

>>2343313
You can post at the site where a username and password combination is required, I'll still probably mostly post as anon in these threads though.

>>2342131
you could never be as fast as someone getting one-to-one feedback from a professional, but feng says himself that you can easily get good if you're willing to put in the hours and know how to study right. I think his vids have a bit of info about the material they study

>>2342131

You can absolutely do it on your own. Expect it to take about twice as long as the full fzd training though, even if you put in equal hours. Upside is you save god knows how much fucking money. Downside is you miss out on profiting from connections (which only the top 10% of graduates every year do anyway, the school is said to be ultra competitive)

Imo self teaching is the way to go.

Self teaching

You save money
develop your own style
and be good on your own

Just study right and your work is going to look better than those people at Fzd

So I recently got the Yiynova MSP19U from amazon (500/10 btw) but since the monster is bigger than my laptop itself I either have to rest the thing on my shitty unstable folding desk and lean really forward, or set it on my lap and lean back.

Im still faster than with my old Pen and Touch, but now Im thinking of investing in a real desk and a better chair so I can have a more stable and consistent setup. Preferably faced away from my sexy sexy refrigerator that keeps distracting me from my work. Wondering if anyone can share what they use or have used in the past that has either really been amazing or fucked them over.

Got lower back problem like most of America, but pretty sure buzzwords like ergonomic are marketing ploys. Also not a fan of a standing desk, since cashier is my day job.

>Checked the catalog for a thread I could ask my personal question in, but might as well make a general for discussion then.

There's a thread literally called "question thread" with a big giant question mark as the OP.

Still I guess a battlestation thread is due.

>Where do you do most of your artwork
Do most of my stuff at my desk using my tablet though sometimes I do doodles in bed/on the bus in a sketchbook.

>What are your dream materials/setup
I'd love a big set of copics to play with, but I wouldn't use them enough to be worth the investment. If I won them as a prize or something though I'd be pretty stoked. Same idea for a cintiq, I'm not gud enough to justify the investment yet. I'm waiting for a decent competitor to come along that can push prices down a little before I jump into display tablets.

>How do you deal with fatigue while drawing
I take a break. Usually a short one is sufficient, if I'm really burned out I just put it down for the night. Normally though once I get going I'm pretty motivated to complete things and I keep coming back to it even when I tell myself I'm done for the night.

>Post / Describe your Setup
pic related, sorry for the blinding light, my phone camera is garbage. Nothing too special but I find it pretty comfy.

>Anything to do with the physical approach to making art
fapping

>>2340925
Everyone knows question thread is pretty much another beginner general. Sides, at least its good enough for a main thread.

The Yiynova I got from Amazon was $500 and is huge. For some reason the 12 inch is more expensive. Its really easy to set up and I was able to justify it since I made about that much from commissions in 2015. Took me 6 months of savings from my day job to get it.

Ive used a cintiq before at an art meetup and I honestly cant justify the additional $1500 needed for that piece of equipment....

Its a potato quality image of a trace of a LoL splash. That's the core problems there. Im sure you could still post it to r/LoL saying your cancerous gay lover drew it and rake in the karma

at least take a proper picture you dumb nut

Arm look like half of it vanished of to another dimension.
Need work on the hand, especially around the wrist.
I do not even know what that hair is doing, why does it have tendrils?Anyway try to depart some of the hair to the front of the body to add some fluidity.
Again i have no idea what the feet is doing.
Try to work more on that monster thing, make its teeth more realistic and whatnot.
Your shading is very light and not very structural (atleast what i can tell from the photo) work on that a little.It may be because you have a short grip on anatomy, i recommend...
