Maybe try and use the bodybuilding model from posemaniacs as a base/reference and add lizard and bug heads/features to it, might be a laugh and help you learn something in the process too.

Keep your wrist perfectly still and draw.

You will end up using your arm automatically.

A good "training wheel" method is to hold your pen or pencil in a way that limits the range of motion you can use with your wrist.

For example, have your first finger out straight, the pencil right under it, and the other fingers holding it in place. This will force you to use the full arm to do a lot of things.

Long-Term Part-Timer: Art Job Anonymous 11/08/16 (Tue) 02:25:43 No.4147 [Open thread]

Could you use an extra $400-$600 a month? I know I could, nigga.

I'm a shitty artist looking for a marginally less shitty artist to help me realize a game project in both a timely manner and in a quality I otherwise could never achieve on my own. Character designs, splash art, animation frame tie-downs and cleanup, effects, environments et cetera. Nothing's off the table, G.

Send me your portfolios, your hourly rates, examples and estimates; let's do business.

I want someone who's motivated, versatile, willing to learn and is of course able to set aside time each week to help me push my ill-conceived project forward. At this time I'm looking for a character artist and designer in particular. I don't care what your rate is, but considering my own limited resources, I'm naturally going to gravitate towards whoever can get me the best work at the biggest volume relative to what I'm able to spend.

I'm looking for an anime/'toon' aesthetic. If you have an animation-friendly style already I'll definitely take a close look at you, but even if you've never animated or drawn a cartoon in your life I'm willing to give you a shot if you're willing to try.

Look at Shane Glines, Bruce Timm, Alex Ahad, XA-XA-XA, and Chris Battle over the next week or two, put some topical OC in your portfolio and hit me up.

Learning to color? Anonymous 10/30/16 (Sun) 19:34:08 No.4112 [Open thread]

One thing with anatomy is that it takes a lot of practice, but with coloring, it takes a lot of techniques to do correctly. I want to learn how to color. How do I succeed in coloring? Shading, lights, that stuff.

Coloring is hard. It is one of the things which there are no shortcut of learning it. If you don't follow proper steps on doing it, the end result would be horrible, or a fucking nightmare if you try to fix it.

Imho, it is twice harder than drawing especially when you do it in order to achieve into a certain level of quality. One thing that you need to concern about coloring is color balance. You have to color it so that it looks natural, and lively.

It is a tedious work and you have to make sure that you're doing it right the right way.

We've talked about this before but the idea died out eventually, so I'm kick starting this shit.

Unlike the Inktober challenge, this is more of an inside thing, posting it here and critiquing each other's works.

This thread's theme:

A God there is

Rules

Draw a picture related to the theme and post it in this thread.

It can be in any form, from digital art to an actual painting.

Prizes

Practice, :^)

Here's the thread I ~~stole~~ based the theme on, use it if you need some inspiration.

I draw demons and religious art, for me it's the same thing. Stuff like demons trying to get out of hell or trying to make it a good place where there is no suffering and similar themes, that kinda stuff really resonates within me. I think I art like that carries some kind of spiritual weight beyond just aesthetics and besides, I think having a contrast is good too, like ying and yang and for there to be light there must be darkness too and all that jazz.

>>4060

Assuming Lucifer isn't bullshit then God isn't bullshit either. Personally I make it a point to draw my art with some religious undertones whenever possible, kinda like how all those satanic celebrities include satanic symbolism into their works, I just add Christianity instead and always try to make God the good guy in my art.

Bumping because I'm a piece of shit.

I am such a goddamned failure. The time to have started on this half-baked "goal" of being an artist should have started decades ago and here I am, mentally torturing myself with hours of ill-conceived practice every day, churning out garbage piece after garbage piece, lying to myself repeatedly about how I'll somehow make it one day in an attempt to keep myself semi-sane and not completely depressed. I'm like a man in a sinking ship without any lifeboats, who knows that the ship is going to sink and he's going to die, but the very thought of it frightens him so much that he keeps bailing out water with a tiny bucket, even as the water is reaching up past his ankles.

It's all crap, all of it. What a fucking waste.

Just image search an animal and start gesturing. Make sure you study the skeleton and muscle groups while you're at it, since it will give you a better understanding of both structure and kinesiology of the animal in question.

Any of you got a CORE account on DA?

What is it?

What does it do?

Is it at the point where you need CORE to get popular on DA?

Would you recommend it?

Cool, post your username when you're all set up.

I guess a way to attract more people would be to mention it when you draw on other boards. Maybe put a tiny logo on the corner of the drawfag'd image or something.

>Just get a sketchbook at your local art shop. It's cheaper and it's meant for drawing unlike printer paper.

There is no sketchbook paper that is anywhere near as cheap as printer paper. However I agree a sketchbook should be on there anyway.

>The better and cheaper option would be a small metal sharpener that you use by hand.

I don't know, I've had bad luck with them, my electric sharpener never fails.

>Huion

While I have an Intuos 5 large that I enjoy very much, I've used a Huion and they are actually quite good considering they're 1/3rd of the price.

>>No eraser

This is mostly a suggestion for a very very beginner whose work will not be worth salvaging in most cases.

OP here.

I use school-tier notebooks, palomino manual sharpener, palomino blackwing and papermate mirado classics, and I did have paint tool sai.

Anything else, besides the book and tablet?

>school-tier notebooks

Don't use lined paper fam, printer paper is cheap.

>palomino manual sharpener

Nothing wrong with that but maybe try sharpening a pencil manually with a knife or something. I just started doing that myself-it's actually pretty comfy and you can shape it to your liking (I usually leave the lead a cylinder shape and begin to draw with that, it eventually turns into a point on its own).

>palomino blackwing and papermate mirado classics

Blackwings are overpriced meme-pencils; I'd just use USA Gold or whatever low-cost brand you can find and invest in real charcoal pencils.

I will second >>1744 in that Palomino Blackwings are waste of money. Replacable eraser is just a stupid gimmick, and kneaded+poleyster combo is far superior. Any decent B pencil has better graphite than Palomino Blackwing, at least ones that are being made now.

Personally, I use lead holders, because I like to work with sharp tip and thicker graphite lets me get it sharper than normal pencils with less risk of breaking. There is also less mess made during sharpening. Staedtler makes very good leads, which cost about as much as their pencils, but last longer.

Tried drawing a harpy from scratch, only used references for the wings.

The body doesn't look that bad once you draw around it, but I still feel the legs might be a bit too long on the original, not that I could confirm since I just half assed the perspective instead of making a proper grid.

Haven't stuck to it, so I can't say if the book's advice was good for me. Though I had to get inventive to make a viewfinder. It's harder than you'd think to just get a flat panel of plastic from a store. What I did was buy a clear plastic 8x10 photo frame.

Some of the advice and exercises certainly seem like they'd help beginners at least. Haven't read all of it yet though.

So I can't seem to finish a single fucking render. I look at my drawings from years ago and think they're kind of passable, but when I try now I end up hating the whole thing or a critical part before I'm anywhere near done and want to start over.

So is there a way to put off self criticism for long enough to actually finish a thing?

Schedule Mania Anonymous 07/14/16 (Thu) 20:28:01 No.3400 [Open thread]

A thread for advice and experiences with making schedules.

Trying to work my way up to 12 hours a day, but so far can only do 9 hours in a 12 hour period.

Seems overwhelming tryng to figure out how to fit in repetitive and reinforcing Photoshop training, Watercolor Training, Ink Training, Portraits, Figures, Animal Anatomy, Master Studies, Perspective, etc. into a regular thing. How to keep so many plates spinning while also making time for friends and life and not becoming a hollowed out robot. Not to metion school is going to start again in the Fall, and I'm going to be looking for a part-time job, so I've got to squeeze those in as well.

Any thoughts/advice?

Pic related - it's an art schedule from an artist on DeviantArt that I've been modifying and trying to adapt to.

I think at least considering their relationship alone, it's because there's more competition for 2D animators so it drives the wages down. It's pretty ridiculous how little animation staff is paid overall, though. The fact a series director doesn't even make the median u.s. wage is silly enough, but the animators getting paid less than a cashier or something like that is criminal. It makes me feel pretty good about my job. I work at a used video game store and make as much as a CG animator.

in japan, traditional animators are usually paid per frame, doing that w/ cg obviously makes no sense. 3d also used to be a really specialized field w/o many people in it, that probably helped.

no name inbetweeners working on bobs burgers & rick and morty probably get paid more than your favorite japanese key animator

studios are starting to move production to malaysia, so wages are only going to get worse
