One waydt thread, and one themed 10-minute doodle thread. If we have enough bandwidth of course Imagine how good this thread could be if you weren't posting in it I'm almost done with this:

This looks nice. What program did you use? Cunrrently, I'm trying to do tradiotional frame animation with photoshop. Not really a program for that type of stuff, though it is possible.

There's also that little tag in the bracelet that says For Daisy <3 DD. In the Vietnam picture, it's supposed to be Donald and Daisy in the 70s. I guess she grew her hair long. Or some random woman, I don't know.

But it's just not quite there yet so you have to come up with all kinds of weird tricks to get what you want. But the little that I tried using other (free) animation softwares Pencil and Synfic, didn't really feel like they were for me either.

Been following your progress with barnacle joan closely this month and if you can stand it I'd love to see you just work into her shading a bit more to really given the contours some pop. I saw you changed the outside of her knee and that was pretty effective, next I think if you blended the three distinct sections of her upper thigh you could avoid the stocking and suspender look. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours I should think and there's still a weekend left before September!

But the little that I tried using other (free) animation softwares Pencil and Synfic, didn't really feel like they were for me either. I can't get down to animating in photoshop. If there was a better scrubbable timeline and I was using that plugin then, I mean, maybe, but motion is that much more important than how it looks. Tvpaint is somewhere in the middle. I've worked together some pretty decent tricks and brushes to make things look good now, so it's not so bad anymore. I recommend you try the TvPaint trial. I'm on flash again for this two month job I'm on at the moment and it is excruciating. I had a dream where I helped design a program with photoshops brush and image tools, with a flash timeline, but it was overlayed on a very basic 3d engine so that you could set up and keyframe basic shapes in perfect perspective and use them for guides for what you're drawing? And it had this system where over these 3d things you could overlay bezier curves for managing your arcs and notch them for planning your spacing? It was a beautiful dream. That's a perfect program. edit- so I mean basically photoshop CS5+ with special names for notched bezier curves and a flash timeline bitmap fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Aug 28, 2014 |

I'm pretty bored with working on it right now, but I'll see if I can make time to dench it up later. Anyway, any suggestions for next month's theme?

Don't fret too much if your work isn't where you want it yet, that is what practice is for. As for the piece, well unfortunately the drawing has issues that are going to make it hard to turn it into a successful painting. The composition is odd, the anatomy is not quite right, the character's poses are awkward(especially the kid), the ground seems wonky with how the dead guy is placed, there are foreshortening issues, almost every object in the painting leads the eye off the page, etc. There are quite a few things that need fixing. I think if I were you I'd set this piece aside, at least for now, and do some master studies. A still life is also a very good exercise that I'd 100% recommend but if you want to get better at composition and arranging scenes, a master study is going to give you the best gains for time invested. Pick an artist, be it an old master painter or a famous illustrator. You'll want someone who's work stands the test of time (so probably a dead person) and you'll want to copy their work the best you can. Pay attention to composition, stuff like how they place figures on a page, how they manage the lights and darks to create focal points (value), etc. Even if you have no experience, you can learn a tremendous amount just by looking at art closely and trying to replicate it as close to the original as you can. Take your time with this too. If you are done in an hour then you didn't look close enough. Also you might not want to use a sketchbook for this. Try getting a large sheet of paper or canvas/board/whatever. It is harder to work small than it is to work big so you can make the learning a bit easier on yourself by working on a larger surface. You can do it! The important thing is to practice a lot, and take the good with a bad. If a work doesn't seem to be turning out, then scrap it and start the next one.

Did a li'l something for the Sketch Daily twitter thingy: Dr. Strange. Done entirely in Manga Studio 5. Strange himself is done using the pen tools, while the background was done using the oil paint brush.

Question for digital goons. I'll be getting an iPad for my birthday next month and wondered if there are any really good programs on there to do some digital art work? I've never really done it before apart for trying it out on PC with a tablet and hated the fact I had to stare at the screen and not where I was drawing. Figured I'd have better luck on the iPad with the right program. Also totally looking into an Inkling... Anyone here use that?

Not tried the Inkling (although believe me, I want to, IFX raved over the thing, and skipping a step with something I clip to my sketchbook really appeals), but ArtRage is definitely available for iPad, and I've liked that program since version 2. It's basically a sort of Painterly program, with a UI you can just push out the way when you need to (IE - Whenever you aren't changing brushes/colour), and it's fairly cheap. Here's a link to the iPad specific version.

That must be where he got his scar! It's Prismacolor pencils on toned paper. And yeah, I think the kitten rampant is one of my favorite things about it. I'm working on a series of animals as as D&D characters, I'm coloring the bard in now.

I sketch things then get bored and never finish them. Something about the composition of this seems off but I can't put my finger on it.

Lacrosse posted:I sketch things then get bored and never finish them. try flipping horizontally a lot more and maybe dropping vertical plumb lines when you're planning a drawing. It seems like you, as myself, tend to lean things to the right. I quickly framed it a little different so the horizon is on the third line, rotated left to account for the lean, then repositioned the dino.  Here are some of the points that bug me in the image, compositionally. Tangents and overlaps which interrupt the eye or lead out of the picture.  edit- of course, that rock didn't lead out of the image until I rotated it
