At least post info. Artist name?
YOU! Yes, YOU RIGHT THERE! I don't give one fuck if you're tired, uninspired, masturbating, seeking advice, or feeling as if you will never be good enough! You will STOP! NOW! I want you to DRAW! You must draw something - anything - and make even the slightest improvement! Then, you will do it again. Not because I'm telling you, but because it's the reason you picked up a pencil in the first place.

What if I told you I am coloring a butt naked Miku right now while listening to hard trance techno?

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS ANON
B-b-but I don't know how to paint or draw clothes or anything really. And I really want to color my lewd drawings but I'm shit man
Is there something you just hate seeing?
For me, I hate seeing the generic anime style everywhere. Also in tumblr, EVERYONE draws Disney style.
All this made me value a lot more unique styles, even simple stuff like Paul Robertson's sprites or even Brian O'Malley's work.

>Also in tumblr, EVERYONE draws Disney style.
You wish, the tumblr style is its own monster.
>>2254986
People smearing pencil strokes with their fingers to achieve smooth gradients. Extremely rarely I see cases where that works out fine.
>>2254986
I hate seeing threads like this.
They are not constructive in any way. If you start a thread with nothing but evil intent, you can bet your ass the thread will be nothing but shit. Great fucking job on not contributing to this board at all, OP.
Post yours, acrylic oil watercolor whatever just as long as it's paint on canvas.
r8, critique, circlejerk.
Underpainting of what I'm painting right now. 1,2m x 70cm, oil on cardboard

You look like you know what you're doing. Can you recommend any books on oils/oil process? I've spent all my time building fundamentals in charcoal up to this point.

So I am about to buy a graphic tablet since I am tired of drawing on paper.
What graphic tablet do /ic/ think that is good for a begginer in digital drawing? People have recommended this one but I thinks its kinda small, huh? (Huion H420 btw)
think*
Sorry, OP kinda sleepy here.
>>2251409
DO: get huion or mono price
DON'T: wacom if you're on a budget
DO: med if you're a beginner
DON'T: small or large if you're a beginner
other than that it's kinda personal preference
Vistablet might be a good choice for you
Thank you, I will check it.
beginner* Holy crap, I should check my spelling tho D:

After-the-Lock
This is part of a little project i've been working on since february, i would love to make this into a webcomic someday, the protagonists are a 20 years old cat girl nicknamed "gata" and her 35 years old brother, an obese and lazy but yet strong nicknamed "fatso", the story takes place in russia 200 years in the future, cold places like Russia and Alaska are the only places where humanity ( Or in this case "catanity", sorry...) can live, due to global warming.
Most of the world is extremely hot and animal species are going extinct at a fast rate, gata and fatso lives on a mountainous place which used to be one of the coldest places in the world, but now the place is getting warmer and the snow pretty much dissapeared, there is a huge cloud which has been covering the sky for decades, it also rains very constantly, most of the time, it is believed that everyone will die due to the global warming in less than 20 years if no one finds a quick and effective solution.
gata and fatso are know as scavengers, people who wears mask and steals items from buildings and corpses, and in extreme cases murder people, scavengers usually wears white masks with custom patterns and rain coats.
What do you think of the ideas?, i would like some honest opinions, what do you like, what do you think that's wrong, i want this to be a good story.
Also sorry for my bad english, it could be better, i know.
I'll be sharing more info and pics if people is interested.

Is it wrong to love your own drawing style?
I'm not talking about being blind about mistakes you make. Even if I still want to improve and know what I have to work on I fucking love my own style. But sometimes I wonder if I should feel guilty. Guilty for having fun looking at my own drawings.
What about you? Do you love your style?
Picture is not mine. But if you want to, you are welcome to post your drawings and tell me if you like your style or not.
>>2248779
it's wrong to draw your own style, fucking cops will come and rape you for doing it.
I hate mine, it's the worst shit ever. Glad you like yours.
Yeah no, I think it happens a lot. Well, I think a style does come from a mix of what we "naturally" are and a bunch of stuff we think is so cool that we reproduce it, aware of it or not. So if you draw according to what you think looks good, then it's only natural that you'll like your style. I can't say I "love" mine but I certainly really like it when it's a good day and drawing turns out great, when that happens I can really see my style and appreciate it. I'm a sucker for organic lines, solid shapes, dynamic action, etcetera, so when I achieve that or when I look at old succesful drawings I can proceed to suck my own cock and say "that's a really cool style, huh?".
Then the next morning my drawings are shit and I wanna end myself. And so, the love-hate cycle starts again, and life goes on.

If someone has higher res version of this painting, I'd very much appreciate it. Google isn't very helpful.
Request me something to draw. Anything.(hentai, gore, etc) I'm in an
art block and I want to get rid of it. The drawing will take 1-2 minutes depending of what you request.

So I'm planning to buy an intous pro but I'm unsure if I should go for the 4 or the 5.
I've heard that the 5 has a shorter lifespan.
>>2245412
intuos 5 == intuos pro
I have used just intuos 5 on which buttons are hard to press, ask and see about the i4, it might be better in this regard
>>2245412
the 5 has better buttons and no bullshit shiny plastic that gets smudgy/sticky without wiping it after every use, still good tho
if you don't plan to use the buttons and glossy plastic isn't a pet peeve of yours, i'd say go with whichever is cheaper that you can get your hands on

A few steps above Mark Crilley
I like that he emphasizes proper pencil control
Good for beginners who know nothing about drawing from reference, I guess.
