What you need to do is let people use their imaginations.Just draw a simple outline your subject, and one's imagination will fill in the rest.This is an example of the NYC Skyline. If you squint, you can see the Statue of Liberty.

If you draw nothing like this I don't even consider tiering you.
We never really got to see much of tub's character development. She was a relatively new character with a mysterious past. And that mystery is what makes the death of the artist even more tragic. We'll just never know who she was on the inside. The most we can assume is that due to her red eyes and white skin schema, she must've been some laboratory test subject given that albino rabbits are synonymous cruel animal research. Which is pretty sad when we think about what happened to her. I'm glad tonkers is taking care of her. Giving her a life of joy even though she can be annoying to tonkers from time to time.
Tubs character looks like she lives on the moon.

>>7155610>What is an oil base?It's a coat of paint containing oil. Modern versions often rely on alkyds, but you still have some lead-based.You can actually spread a thin layer of oil over the base or before starting any layer: that's called oiling out, and has benefits. It won't necessarily break the fat over lean rule.Anon, if you want to do oil, start painting, don't worry too much. If you want to get technical details, experiment, and grab a book or two. It's a complex topic, you're bound to have many questions.
>>7155875Interesting, I didn't know you could oil out at the start, I'll have to mess around with that someday. Appreciate the explanation anon. And yeah I'm not worrying about the rules too much (not like anything I paint is gonna be worth preserving) but it's nice to learn stuff.
>>7155918Yes you can, it'll help the paint flow a little more, and help with the swiping. If you're painting alla prima, there's absolutely no worry. Otherwise, you just have to make sure the next layer has more oil / slower drying pigments.
Are women naturally better artists than men?Looking online, there seems to be a lot more women posting great art than men. Female artists get out of the /beg/ phase much faster, are more consistent with their art, are more varied with their styles, aren’t massive coomers, and are generally more soulful.Why can’t we compete, bros?Is it because women get obsessed with drawing their husbandos and brute force their way into becoming skilled artists or something?
Didn't a woman make Full Metal Alchemist?I liked Full Metal Alchemist. It felt like it was written and drawn by a man. I honestly couldn't tell.>>7149846Yeah but the people here WANT to die.
>>7154105guess read more carefully?
>>7149854There is actual scientific evidence of this as well. Women can parse and perceive a greater range of colors by default and with artistic training their color perception is even more refined. The reasons are evolutionary; women spent more time looking at plants, seeds, berries, etc when foraging and nature selected for fine detail and color discrimination. Women notice subtleties more than men, who tend to recognize the broad strokes and discard the rest.This is why women artists tend to produce a lot of nuanced, subtle colors in their work, and generally tend to work with less saturated colors. Men are drawn to intense saturation because their color perception is limited, they need it loud and overt. Women can detect tinier nuances, so they tend to navigate the color world with more finesse and less brutalism. The strange paradox of this is that men are biologically incapable of understanding or appreciating those color choices because they lack the capacity. To men, most women's work just looks superficially pretty, but to other women, those works are rich and highly engaging with a lot of visual stimuli that male brains cannot detect, even with training. It is a hardcoded biological limit on the visual cortex itself.On the flip side, women don't appreciate what men do well either, such as geometry, advanced construction, perspective, and other math based spatial awareness modes. In much the same way boys recoil from the grossly pink and insipid aesthetic that characterizes their mothers and sisters, etc, girls recoil from the stupidly loud and animalistic silliness that represents the boys, and neither can see or understand the value in the other.There will never be peace or understanding between the sexes, nor should there be. Chaos drives evolution. Lust requires a degree of hate, fear and disgust for the 'Other,' otherwise there would be nothing to sublimate into the erotic desire for union with the opposite.

>>7154864>This is why women artists tend to produce a lot of nuanced, subtle colors in their work, and generally tend to work with less saturated colors. Men are drawn to intense saturation because their color perception is limited, they need it loud and overt.Dude, any artist in history that has painted skin, and there's many men down that road, must have developed a great handling of subtle, low-chroma colors.> In much the same way boys recoil from the grossly pink and insipid aesthetic that characterizes their mothers and sistersPicrel; also as far as I remember, young princes in Europe used to weak pink at some time. Blue jeans used to be for slaves, and tiny skirts for prostitutes.> girls recoil from the stupidly loud and animalistic silliness that represents the boysI can't count how many young girls I have saw in my life who were playing football and trying hard to mimic boy's attitudes.> The reasons are evolutionaryEvolution theory is pretty, but it's still a theory, and from what I understand, what is understood by the general public is grossly wrong to the *current* status quo on the matter.
wtf is he even trying to say?"I feel compelled to draw the problem version, but it's not my fault! pls don't cancel me!"??
>>7155666does he like drawing huge tits or not tho? i can't tell
you're retarded
>>7155635He's playing around with style and talking about how he's inconsistent with it. What's the issue? That he politely told the twitter freaks that he enjoys drawing balloon tits and to fuck off?
>>7155700I guess he's just canadian, so he can't express himself without sounding like a faggot.
>>7155635>>7155639I read this as "the left is how I naturally draw (without thinking), but the right is how I wish I drew. "
>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance.

>>7152284i wasn't familiar with this painting, it seems very rare or under some copyright. it's also one of the worst sargent portraits i've seen, i'd recommend almost any other thing to study from.you didn't really copy the drawing. you should focus more on accurate colors, values, and drawing. your edge control is non-existent, you're not matching light values, and the shapes are just wrong in a lot of places. you're copying the idea of his impressionism as noodly blobs of color and not the shapes and forms he's conveying (for example, the downturned plane between teh cheekbone and beard). focus more on accuracy of the drawing and the colors. the charcoal drawings are good to study, if you can find larger scans of themhttps://npg.si.edu/exhibition/john-singer-sargent-portraits-charcoalhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/John_Singer_Sargent#Drawingsstick to bigger brushes and don't worry about them being textures. hard round/flat/elliptical is what you should be using before playing with effect brushes
It's not still life again, but I did come across an artist with a nice collection of small oil paintings that I decided to study for the sake of colour. Not sure if it's the right idea, but what the hell.
>>7155015Great colors friendWho's the artist btw?
>>7154566Thanks for the crit.For context, this is the image I used as reference, from Huston's book. Usually I check for a higher quality image first but I forgot with this one. You're right, the one you posted would have been a lot better to study from. Although as you said it's kinda bad for a Sargent. I was a bit surprised to see him credited as the artist.Reference aside, all of your critiques are spot on. I rushed through it, especially the drawing stage and the brushes weren't helping. For the next one I'll keep everything you said in mind. His drawings are great, I'll definitely study them later. Also found this rip of his portrait drawing book if anyone else wants it. High-res but has that weird scanning/printing/compression effect on it if you zoom in.aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZvbGRlci80dWdsaVR5YiNONWU0WDV0TjFpaWVseDZ0MV9lVzBB

>What's a webtoon?Webtoon is the ancient Korean art of scrolling comics. Instead of traditional manga/comic pages, panels are spread out individually for easier reading on cell phones.>So they're just spliced manga/comic pages?You can do that if you want, but they're fundamentally different for a few reasons. For example, panels tend to be drawn longer to fit phone screens, and traditional 2-page spreads are not possible to fit in scrolling format.>Are there standard page sizes?Technically yes, but it depends on which platform you post in. Naver Webtoons uses800x1280px, but the site automatically splices & resizes images anyway.>Do I have to make it in color?If you want subscribers, yes.>Why would I make one?To be rich & famous, of course. All jokes aside, the pay is low if you're lucky enough to get hired in the first place, the deadlines are more brutal than the manga industry, and the average reader age floats around 11. But as a novel medium with a growing industry, it may still be worthwhile enough for you to experiment.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I really like art in loop hero, want to try making something like this. Can anons recommend good software dedicated to pixel art? I usually use photoshop to draw, so maybe there are some settings and techniques there as well
>>7155575Paint literally has layers now so it's an actual alternative
libresprite, piskel, or graphics gale try them out
>>7155558I use photoshop to draw, but I prefer aseprite for pixelart.
>>7155558I haven't really tried it for this purpose, but Drawpile seems pretty good for pixel art. It can do animation too.
>>7155558Aseprite is the pixel software I'm familiar with, but you can also use Photoshop's Pencil tool for a pixellated binary brush. Use the Nearest Neighbor scaling setting to upscale your pixel art once you're done with it to keep it crisp. If you zoom in far enough on Photoshop, a pixel grid shows up, which can be handy but also distracting.
>just realized I have basically no original content of my own, only studies and cheap imitationsIt's over.
>>7155408Do fotm and fandom stuff
According to my journal I bought my first sketchbook in November last year and my drawing tablet in February, I have been drawing for almost every day, mostly just copying other artists I like. My friend who's been drawing for almost 11 years told me that's completely ok and normal to spend like the first year or two just copying other pieces and learning stuff, it took him 6 years until he started drawing orginal pieces.
>>7155408>I have basically no original content of my own, only studies and cheap imitationsThen stop studying and start creating. I read somewhere that a famous Marvel comic artist never practiced drawing before his debut and everything he knows he learned on the job.

I'm going to be honest. I care DEEPLY about social media engagement when it comes to my art. As far as I'm concerned, if my work doesn't get enough likes, it's bad art.Yes, I draw for cloutYes, I draw for followersYes, I draw for approval and validationWhy the fuck else would I even bother posting anything online?

The only metric I care about is the kind of booru my shit ends up in.Any rando can drop a like when scrolling but if you end up on the kind of booru that isn't so full of weebs they'll ban whitey's art on sight it means>one guy liked your art enough to take five minutes to look for a higher quality version, get off Twitter/IG, log in to his virtual gooncave and post it there>or at least write your handle in his bot's list>their jannies thought it was good enough to stay up>I don't know how many reports it takes to get pics removed from those places but fewer than this many people thought your art was so shit it had no place on their virtual holy altar of japanese pornographic cartoons

Genuinely how long do you think it'd take me?
>>7155462>each comic book is 22 pages>each one of these flimsy booklets are at least $4>if you want to read older comics, each comic will cost $30+>graphic novels that bind together all the issues of a series are expensive, and regularly go out of print>even if a reader does decide to go through the trouble to read an entire series, they have no idea where to start>there are at least 50 different "spidermans", with reboots and alternate universes confusing things, and newer series constantly retconning events that happened in earlier series. Same with all the other characters at Marvel and DC.>different writers and art styles constantly throwing old fans for a loop>And the writing is not that good anyways, so why bother
>>7155400Every single industry is doing terribly right now, specially Tech and Art and you can blame AI.
