Not bad, I especially like the highlights. I think some tweaks to the pose would look better. The net arm would be better extended away from the body/face.

I have a gaymin PC. It's not that I couldn't afford a 1000 buckaroos for a high end tablet, it's that I don't want it. I want something I can throw on the table or in a bag and use on the go or in bed. My career isn't on the line, I'm a complete novice at drawing and thought I could potentially use it for sketching and decided to ask about it.

>iOS is a fucking laughingstock of a parody of an operating system

You got that right.

>you can't really have "files" like .pdfs on them

You need an app called Documents by a company called Readdle for that. It comes with its own browser for downloading stuff off the internet, and opens pdfs, zips, rars, and most media formats.

>not just downloading books and drawing at home

>risking others seeing the horrific garbage you call your "art"

Drawin is supposed to be solitary and full of self hate.

To ride it, then.

cars are just basic shapes.

> _ are just basic shapes

Isn't that literally everything in art?

>>16184

Cars are literaly rectangles and circles. the rest is skill.

Stop for like a month I'd say. There are a lot of studies that show you don't actually improve on anything if you just do it over and over again quickly, you just get faster at it.

I'm sorry for writing so much shit, but I don't feel comfortable talking about this with anyone. Actually, I've even been thinking about going back to my old psychiatrist.

Never used one tbh, whenever I try and go trad it's just been an awful experience for the most part. I still do most of my studies in trad though

>>16136

You made this thread a while ago I think, and the answer then as it is now is: 'no' heh

Wasn't there the "Crimson Daggers" (Ow, the Cringe) forums run by a concept artist or something? That might be okay idk

>>16107

No experience, but if you are the DIY kinda guy or know one, making one should be fairly simple.

>>16137

>You made this thread a while ago I think,

That was some other guy and I remember his question being slightly different, I just want a place to tell me how and fucking up and how to fix it.

>Crimson Daggers

It's not as bad as other places but it suffers from the "looks good, just keep trying :)" critique a lot of places have sometimes, rather than more objective problems.

>>16107

with how cheap the cheapass lightboxes get, it's certainly not worth buying anything or putting in effort to make one, but any combination of lights and translucent or clear plastic is probably better than a fucking window.

i just use an overturned tub and a short lamp.

>>14114

these are really beautiful anon.

there's this game i can't remember the name of where you wander around this maze– and every how many steps, the game uses what you're looking at to generate new patterns. it's really comfy.

well, anyway, i wish i could move around in those pngs.

is there someone being crucified in the top left of wave mountain? i can see a few other things too, like steps leading up to a statue of death.

Like the other anon said, the hand-breast interaction looks a little iffy. It looks as if the breasts are made of fabric as opposed to skin and fat. Try grabbing something fleshy like your arm, idk and use that as a point of reference

Also, thanks

Maybe we could advertise this in other boards drawthreads here in 8kun and in the webring? I know people in the webring are kinda hostile towards 8kun, but a gondola collage sounds like it'd bring people together.

Sounds like you're describing art practice

Today is my day 1 of this exercising program: I love how simple and straightforward it is.

Right now I can do 20 push-ups. I hope to be able to do 40 in 2 weeks.

Wish me luck!

I've been running to, around and back from a local lake 3-4 times a week. The lake is a 3 mile circumference and there's a half mile each both to the lake and back. You can barely see across it at its widest points so it was pretty intimidating at first but I just went for it and now I'll be on my 6th run soon (it can get extremely cold here so I limit myself to days where it's 25 degrees fahrenheit or above). The fact it only takes a little under an hour overall, even though I'm alternating between walking and jogging for the most part, really demystified the whole thing for me because you realize you're really not missing out on much by not spending that hour glued to your computer or phone like you'd likely normally be.

Running is actually pretty based fellas. You can walk too if you're in rough shape and not nearly as far-you might have to build up to it, don't be ashamed. Being the owner of an athletic dog has helped a lot with my personal motivation as well, when you see how you let a dog down by not giving them a walk or a run they expect it helps you visualize how you're actually letting yourself down.

>>15113

Skip leg day like a mother fucker but I also go for lots of longs walk when the weather is good so I don't look like a triangle upside down
