Newfag here, is Clip Studio Paint the software I want to get for digital art?
>>7147749Anon if you have a PC, why not practice with a mouse in something free like Paint.net?
>>7147755Who asked the loser who doesn't draw?
>>7147563How about it faggot OP:We all know you don't draw on an autistic quest against chink tablets.So instead of claiming decade old shortcomings exist, other ones still remain.So instead making the same claims over and over again update them so people actually know what the tradeoffs are.
I've been trying to look for some good art servers but all of them are weird. Does anyone know any good ones?
>>7147091mine is perfect, because its a closed private invite only for people i personally know. you should try it
If an /ic/ server doesn't demand that you post artwork to get in then chances are it's full of schizos and people who don't draw
>>7147706Yeah, but we don't want to be the only person in our server, like with yours.
>>7147718that does not filter shitters anon
>>7147789it does if you dont let them in if they cant draw
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?
>>7144707>Can you even imagine a female counterpart to Frank Frazetta?I know nothing about fantasy art but Boris Vallejo's wife (Julie Bell) is more or less that right? Boris taught her how to paint and he's God tier.
>>7147490Why will there be a female version of frank frazetta when female artists are not interested in that kind of art?
>This thread
>>7147578Don't be surprised but the worst critics of women tend to be women. Women are designed to be that way, think for a second, why do you think women celebrate fat women? Yas, slay queen, body positivity! Because those fat ugly women are no longer a threat to those normal women.
>>7144461yeah, ive more or less observed this myself. color, composition, anatomy, and just sheer variety. More skilled men just fall into artstation slop while the women and transmascs just get more soulful. Genuinely frustrating knowing i just dont see the world the same way, cant appreciate ugliness or simple variety. I feel incredibly empty when i try to draw when i think about it but what can you do

>>7147515While true, unless you're racking in consecutive concurrent viewers or are living in a 3rd world country, neither is streaming or making videos or making art.

>>7145353Toccatta on Twitter, pyw
>>7147515It's insane how disattached people are from reality. It's usually the low skilled ones who started out no so long ago that being the idea guy, La Creatividad is the best shit ever, and get angry when they cannot consume media for free, and their work has no value for others, as they continue to make it for themselves to satisfy their urges. Art is a luxury, not a necessity.People even ITT try to control things which they cannot. You can fuck off innawoods, and pain with oil and make colors out of bugs and berries, but its not gonna stop a well known artist making fanart of the new hyped up anime. Nobody is forcing you to be a part of the system, but if you want to make money you need other people, and that means to abide some rules. You are making crappy art, but if it sells, is it still crappy? Then it has some sentimental value. If you hear about drawing furries with diapers, the first thought is "ew, that shit sucks" but if the artist says someone paid 600 dollar for a one piece, and shows you his paypal, your perspective immediately changes.

>>7146906can someone advise me on how to shade better? (example work attached) I usually shade by using a clip mask of some <100% opacity of blackish colors, and then do some highlights with some <100% opacity in whitish colors.it doesnt make it look good enough though and i'm honestly not sure what i should do to improve shading pls help
>>7147758Thanks for the tips! I usually sketch a peice out before doing any painting so tried to just get into blocking out. But will definitely look into those rescources! Made some improvements but still got some work to it.
>>7147748They didn't "let it happen", unity and html5 are simply superior, flash was getting beaten by them as soon as they came out. Flash was still alive when those two came out and it immediately fell out of favor. There is no universe where flash can compete with the 3d of unity and the multiplayer capabilities of html5 just because it's slightly easier to develop
I'm trying to learn perspective but almost no resource I find gives a formal, mathematical approach, which I seek to develop intuition properly.In this case, I want to rotate this cube by its vertical axis from the angle in red at 45 degrees to the angle in blue, I know where the new diagonal should lie, but I don't know how to keep the scale of the cube consistent, I don't know where to cut the line to get the cube to be the same size but in perspective. Does anyone here know how? I really don't understand either the reasoning for measuring the distance between a vanishing point and a station point and then drawing it over the horizon. I see it works but I don't know why.
>>7147785disregard perspectiveaquire shape language
>>7147785Perspective actually has nothing to do with foreshortening, it only describes converging lines
>mathematical approach, which I seek to develop intuition properly.Correct yourself with 3d models that show the perspective lines. Arriving at the same result as a 3d model with complex mathematical rules won't improve your instinct, it's completely unrelated to the drawing experience.
>Character design in a mainstream production does something your OC's design does specifically>Now you have to change something you thought was really clever because you know people will draw comparisons otherwiseName something more demoralizing as an artist.
Turns out you aren't as original as you thought you were.But you're still the fag, op. Never forget that. You'll always be the fag.
>>7147001Damn. How will I ever recover.
>using the term OC and not just 'my character'>caring purely about being "original" above all elsengmi markers
>>7146995>Oh this is just like [Genshin Impact Character]>Is this [Genshin Impact Character]?>Did you base her on [Genshin Impact Character]?Nothing instills more hatred in me than the retardation of mihoyoslop fans.
>>7146995Nothing is truly original, everything is a remix.So just keep the character as is OP, it's not your problem if people are so brain rotted that they can only make comparisons to other characters... Well, unless you happened to make your OC a blue hedgehog who runs fast and wears red shoes or something - this advice has limits.

Hope to see you there!Be conscious of the canvas size and considerate of others with the size of your own drawings, make note of your own monitor resolution and magnification. Try to stick to 100-200% magnification-or even higher depending on your native resolution and the relative complexity of your intended work.

>>7147735Friends are hard to come by nowadays.
I have been drawing for over a decade and everything about perspective still hurts my brainAnyone else like this?
>>7147698I honestly gave up caring and just draw flat shit
this is exactly me. I feel like when it comes to anatomy, light, etc. I’ve been able to study and intuitively grasp these pretty well. and even in the case of perspective I can bullshit organic forms convincinglybut once I have to contextualize an entire 3D environment or draw something really geometric where the perspective has to be spot-on (cars, architecture. etc)… it is so overI’ve been trying to make it through scott robertson’s perspective book and it’s starting to make a little more sense, but I have to go through it really slowly and it seems a lot harder to just internalize the knowledge than with other fundamentals. it makes me feel like such a dumbass because I’ve seen a lot of otherwise unskilled artists able to throw together a decent looking cityscape lol
Yeah. Stuff like color theory or drapery or general anatomy has always felt pretty intuitive to me, perhaps because they require less precision. For similar reasons I think cooking is way easier than baking. These days, I can sort of deal with perspective for landscapes, since those are more conducive to eye-balling. But urban settings? Interiors? Mechanical things? It's over for me
>>7147698Try redrawing environments of movie/tv screenshots instead of normal photos
