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.

Why are you not building volume at this very moment?
>>2541954
what volume?
>>2541954
I am giving volume to this very thread
But I am
This is just some thing I worked on tell me if you like it or not.
nice picture is that your face ?.
>>2541154
nice face is that your picture ?.
Superb. I can tell by your stylistic execution that you were inspired by hotline miami.
Is there any advice you guys can give when it comes to making drawing cylindrical/spherical forms easier? Perspective wise? I'm getting slightly somewhere with cubes, but anything circular? Forget it, never comes out right
Spheres are always gonna be spheres at any angle.
Cylinders can be made slightly easier by putting the bases in squares that are in perspective.
Go to the sticky and read it.

Fuck off, faggot.

You have to draw them in a box. It's the only way.
Need help to draw this in black and white. I want that as an tattoo. so need it in black and white. Somebody that can help me?
Rule 3.

Name a price or fuck right off.
$30 ok? i have paypal
I need help with line art, every time i draw i sketch the piece out till i feel i should do the line art and once i finish i always feel that the sketches look way better. If anyone has suggestions or even the process they go about line art that would be awesome. Im also using Sai. (pic unrelated)
It's always infuriating when people make their own thread asking for advice and don't even provide an example of their work.
It's very hard to give you constructive advice besides "practice more" if we can't see what the hell you're doing wrong. What's your line weight like? How well are you showing form with your lines? Are they clean? Do they wobble? We don't know.
>>2543802
op is a shitposter who probably doesn't draw
hide and move on
>>2543802
Yeah i had to reformat my computer recently so all my sai files are lost. I wouldnt say my lines wobble cuz i spend like a good 10 -15 mins trying to get a line to look good. I do generally have issues with weight cuz i dont really know where to make the lines thicker or thinner other than when they intersect.
Any advice on how to make good album covers?
Would love some examples.
These are just some loose ideas im working on.
>>2543503
Bumping for interest. How do you get into the market for this? Are there forums for bands requesting work? Do you have to be friends with a bunch of awesome bands?
There's no "album cover" formula.
Work with the theme and mood of the album, and make something that looks cool. That's it.
Look at say the cover for veckatimest, and look at the cover for purple rain. Both great covers, nothing in common. There aren't even compositional rules.
What you've done so far is cool though.
IMO an album cover should be a visual parallel to the "feel" of the music, it doesn't need to be exact but you want colors and shapes that match the sound and rhythm. I'd prioritize being able to express different feelings over the image itself really. Also, I'd try to match technique to technique, if the music is super weird go for mixed mediums and try to keep up.
Drawing circles is hard. Would it be a bad habit to rely on the circle tool in krita?
How am I supposed to get better at drawing them freehand?
By drawing them
>How am I supposed to get better at drawing them freehand?
drop art if you have to ask this question
never gonna make it
>>2543028
If you're using computer-aided drawing already why not just do whatever is the fastest?
But as the other guy said, just practice drawing circles. Unless you're going for technical circle exact stuff, it would just be faster to sketch a circle. Not many things in an actual painting are perfect circles anyway, so your initial sketch doesn't need to be perfect.
post them.
Do you have autism or something?

i dont really save that kind of shit so i dont have hem
ok, so when are you going to upload the krenz cushart gumroad tutorials?
I've been waiting for weeks on end and It saddens me you guys not wanting to pirate it, like, I gave you one of the cgma courses and what do you give this anon when he doesn't have money uh? nothing! that's right
>>2542032
They're probably not that great, all I want from Krenz is to see the fucking videos of him painting like pic related, just that, but I think they don't exist
https://gumroad.com/krenzcushart
>10 dollars minimum
>doesn't even include the cool pieces we want to see
fuck this guy
>>2542032
I don't see how a tutorial would help anyone with this. It doesn't look like he's using any complicated technical functions you'd need to be taught. Most of his pictures seem to rely on his experience. He's picking colors and mixing them himself and probably using only one or two brushes throughout. A simple step by step probably wouldn't give much insight into how he makes his design decisions or rendering decisions if it's all as intuitive to him as it comes across to me.
Post art with a unsettling feel or style, something like that.
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.
Visit the usual "Artbook Thread" to find your desired books. (Or look in the new sticky)
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.
Old thread: >>2536826
>>2540540
This sticky is overwhelming to a newcomer, in-concise, and difficult for finding a starting point based on an individual's skill. It's also just plain too long and littered with corollaries between main sections to bog down the uninvested reader.
The original sticky did it better because:
- Steps of artist development were clearly outlined with numbers (Step 1 - Fixing symbol drawing, Step 2 - Construction, Step 3 - Perspective, etc. etc.)
- Individual steps of artist development were briefly outlined in one-two paragraphs and a book to read for more information was provided in the same block of information for those who wanted to read further. This enabled the process of people painlessly reading the paragraph, being able to determine if they needed to spend time in those fundamentals, and then easily having a bootstrapping point with a single book (or two) to go to.
I hope your sticky improves and begins to read more as a section of fundamentals with a corresponding text for those wanting to read more as opposed to it being a self-enclosed tutorial (what it currently reads as) with a density of information that lacks enough brevity to be considered useful at a glance.
Maybe do a github with pull requests so that you can curate the informativeness of your content as opposed to a google doc?
>>2540540
As it currently stands, the original sticky is just plain better and there's no reason why I wouldn't recommend that instead of your Google doc.
Again, I'd love to see it come into its own, wish you well.
Give me strong men to draw.

The beginner thread and the alternative style thread is somewhere on this board, use that instead of creating threads to showcase your art.
