 10 min portrait I probly spent another 10 min on shading after the pose. I have been slack on the daily drawing lately and I can feel it.  On another note. Somenbody made fan art of the mural at the bar and drew it on the back of a receipt. Heh.  Also - as per an earlier discussion...

No tired art tonight, even though I continue to be tired myself. Instead, here's some video game fan art. https://twitter.com/Shinmera/status/969356955717373953

After a few days in a rut I managed to get enough gumption to draw something. "Wow, a big, ugly head!" (It's a local sculpture)

I've been having a bad few days with my art where I don't do as much as I want. I was gonna do some surreal landscape thumbnails but it didn't get any further than this:

A repost of a daily from a couple of years back. She died a few days ago, so of course I had to go look at the two or three drawings I had done when we had dated. Never did get the likeness right.

I finally got some comes-in-a-tube-watercolours to try and also some of those wicking-brush-with-empty-container-for-watercolour-things and I thought I'd knock out a variation of the cathybrid face I did recently 'cause I really liked it and I thought it would be SO GOOD to get to draw them red eyes again but with an actual brush and maybe extra details everywhere and who cares if I can't find masking liquid in the single craft store near me, pffft, I got this! No wait. I haven't got this. It's a frustrating, humbling amateur hour where I spent half my time loving around the equipment, finding out that the plastic spikes on the caps of the little metal tubes actually just flatten when you try to press them against the opening of the tube, trying to fill the brushpens with the sticky thick colours getting stuck in the opening of the tank and going nowhere, diluting them with water and wondering if I still hosed up because they're really not wicking through. Like, at all. Also, haha, there's dog hair everywhere because of course there is, maybe don't cuddle the dog straight before doing painting next time!  It's just been too goddamn long since I did traditional and I'd forgotten that the paper is super absorbent, and I should've done a proper "drowning" before I started because all my attempts to get the paper wet enough that the colours would do that pretty thing where they run and spread from the drop you put down were met with the pigment stubbornly refusing to shift. I also had massive trouble blending brushstrokes together if they were put down more than 5 seconds apart. Tomorrow I'll change my approach a bit and dig out my acrylics if I can't get the patterns to behave. I was planning on doing some intricate small patterns in a dark blue onto the gold stripes. Seriously though, has anyone used the brushes that have fillable tanks? If so, how can I get the colours to wick through, does it just take forever or what?

Didn't do much new today, just went back and built on yesterday's stuff.  The landscape stuff is fun, I just need to put in more effort.

The Pentel color pens that come pre-filled with colored inks aren't gum-arabic-based watercolor paint, they're something else. I'm guessing they have some kind of additive that keeps them fluid. If you want to DIY it, instead find yourself some colored fountain pen ink. Fountain pen ink is formulated not to clog. It's also usually not waterproof, so it probably won't be usable for layered washes. Also, NEVER put india ink in one of these brushes. India ink contains shellac and will ruin the brush within weeks.

Neon Noodle posted:Those water brushes aren't designed to have anything more viscous than water inside. If you want to fill them with watercolor, you should take some watercolor paint from the tube, dissolve it completely in water to the desired pigment density, and THEN fill up the water brush. However, I don't think this is a good idea generally. The reason being, that even when diluted in water, the watercolor pigments are granular and will eventually clog and ruin the brush. As the water evaporates from around the brush, the pigments will re-concentrate and get gunky. You can probably save it by disassembling the brush and cleaning everything thoroughly, but some parts of the brushes are hard to get at to clean. How about bringing a palette with dried paints and then using one of those water brushes for painting (on the go)? Is that feasible?

I really enjoy the density to everything going on that is very much helped by your willingness to animate the whole setting. You did a great job and it's well made at displaying depth and scale of the area too.

Neon Noodle posted:Good helpful Thanks for this! I thought you might know. I'm gonna get some ink for them and try again. The set had 3 in it and they've all got pretty small brushes, so I couldn't have done large areas with them anyway, so it's ok if they're only gonna be used for final detail. I dunno how I managed to not post about how much I freaking love the soft lighting and colours in this one. It's so cozy. You've got a good, strong separation between light and shadow going, and line width variation, which both make for a more interesting picture. I feel like you could've extended the mouth-in-corners motif onto the leftmost bubble, which is currently the only undefined-as-a-thing area in the pic. I like how you've separated the coloured background from the black&white portrait to accentuate the silhouette! For next time, I'd curve the shading on the nose upward, it would "read" as a raised structure better. Good start, keep going, push harder! Bigger, smaller, stockier, skinnier, olds & kids! I'm feeling the smoking grumpy one. Ok if I try my hardest the things I'd nitpick are things that are not visible at all when the pic is avatar-size like it's obvs meant to be: that the people on the left side don't move at all, no leg wiggles or shakes, which looks weird and dead contrasted against the quick wiggling peeps on the right side. Perspective-wise you've got 2 horizontal vanishing points, one for the stuff on the ground and one for the buildings above and the buildings on the ground don't quite follow their vanishing point right - again, something you can't see in the actual avatar. You've got a good, credible lil pic of FUTURE CITY here and I especially like the separation between foreround and background into blue/brown tones. I want my own firedog for the winter! Wanna feed it sticks and logs. Wanna pet it with an oven glove on. The colours are lovely, though this all feels a bit ominous. I hear that furries pay well for commissions and I do love painting animals so I thought I'd try it a bit but I don't think I could do this for an extended period of time  (Nick from Zootopia as Jessica Rabbit) Then I've got some sketches 'cause I was more interested in the irl painting

To me the scary thing about being an internet porn artist isn't drawing degenerate poo poo but rather having to associate with the people that regularly commission it. There's hundreds of artists willing to draw for money right now so if you want people to commission you, you have to do networking. For porn. Might as well just get a minimum wage retail job instead and preserve your sanity, and probably make more money anyways.

Someone up thread said they’re also getting into (cheap) watercolors; I’m having fun combining a cheap set with cheap brushes, graphite, ink and weird color sources (coffee in this case): I suck at painting, but since all my class work is digital, having a physical medium to learn is a nice escape right now.

Figuring out paper textures better and actually using them might help too.

Looks like I'll be slowly backing away from the abyss, pretending I never even saw it. To be fair though, I DO have a regular job in a factory already 'cause bills need paying. Every now and then I just can't help it, I go nuts when I see "blandest comic artist makes billions on patreon" and "furry artist works once a week drawing animal feet" and my brain goes "you could do that, you could be the one drawing for BIG BUX" when really, every time I've had to interact with people apart from animal drawings, it's like pulling teeth. Today I drew a bunny!

Sharpest Crayon posted:Ugh. Networking is my least-favourite time-waster. Looks like I'll be slowly backing away from the abyss, pretending I never even saw it. I mean, I don't actually have any first-hand experience with this stuff so I am making assumptions. However there was a point in my life where I desperately wanted to live as an artist, and I was wondering if doing fetish commissions on the side might enable that. But from observation I'm pretty confident that making a sustainable living off of being an internet artist, no matter what you draw, has a lot more to do with networking than actual artistic talent. You could be the most amazing artist in the world and it wouldn't matter if nobody ever saw your art. Putting your art on the internet and hoping people randomly stumble across it is a crapshoot. The best way to get your art noticed, regardless of your skill level, is to integrate yourself into a community of established artists. If people that already have a following enjoy and share your art, it will get more attention than it would ever get if you just threw it out there. Becoming genuinely accepted in any community takes a lot of time, and its going to be really taxing mentally if you don't actually care about that community at all. Also I've heard from people that genuinely enjoy drawing gay furries or whatever that still hate doing commissions because a lot of people on the internet are picky fucks. You don't have nearly as much freedom as you might think and if you don't draw something exactly the way they want, they won't pay you. So you have to be in constant communication with these people to make sure they will be fine with the finished product. Do extensive studies and research on their sparkle dragon OC. Also during this time you'll constantly have a lot of people begging you to provide them with free art. If you aren't established yet as an artist though you can't just tell them to gently caress off; you need to build a good reputation. So its not actually as easy as it seems. Its also a good way to burn yourself out on art because you spend all your time drawing dragon dicks instead of what you actually enjoy. So unless you happen to enjoy dragon dicks, I wouldn't try making money off of them. (the bunny is cute though)

So different from how I perceive and construct things in my own drawings. Thanks. I like seeing other people do it, but it's not my usual thing, so I didn't feel like I was putting it to good use. Internet Kraken posted:You could be the most amazing artist in the world and it wouldn't matter if nobody ever saw your art. Putting your art on the internet and hoping people randomly stumble across it is a crapshoot. Yeah, I can confirm this. I tend to like drawing anthropomorphic creatures and animals anyway, so I tried marketing non-pornographic commissions at furries, but I only ever got one commission. I didn't try to go any deeper into that community, because I kinda get worried about that association as it is, so I regret it. I'm not good a good learner though because I spent the last couple days working on this for one of their contests on deviantart (using this reference):  I didn't feel right about entering it, so I didn't, and it kinda soured me on finishing it.
