In art-related news, I'm in a total rut and don't know what to do with myself anymore.

Thanks! He just wants to enjoy his hobbies now that the hustle and bustle is behind him.

I usually fall back to drawing things I mostly know I'll have fun looking at when they're done (cute girls) but it's also important to let yourself take time off if you're feeling a little dried up. Alternatively, if you're just looking for inspiration, draw a cute girl. Or guy. Draw a cutie, is what I'm saying.

I spun up an old backup Twitter into an art posting Twitter and then fell down a weird hole this morning.

Went back to basics with some gesture drawing and did an hour's work on Line of Action using a good old biro: https://imgur.com/a/5XaT1uO

Really happy with that last one, there's a bit of duff shading I can improve on, but I'm super happy with how I captured the pose.

That IS a very nice butt.

I'm waiting to hear back from a commissioner so I finally got to do that thing where I do a drawing to take a break from drawing! I feel like a real artist.

I haven't been posting in this thread much on account of there's no good way to resize images on my phone (plenty of bad ways but now I'd need to do a whole batch) but I've made a point to contain my inktober work into a single Twitter thread.

https://twitter.com/neoMuffinlord/status/1052242317069996033?s=19

I rolled my own prompts about mechs on account of I couldn't find any that seemed series-agnostic enough, but never really bothered to type them up in anything besides an Evernote document. It's like a little surprise for everyone but me!

Today's mechtober was an experiment in some things. My shading techniques still need some work but I really like how this all came together.

I went to Disneyland! I got a Note 8 recently and it has a pressure and tilt sensitive stylus, so I have an art program for it. Wish I'd actually had time to make poo poo that doesn't suck, though. I'd love to spend a day painting digital thumbnails of Disneyland/California Adventure scenery instead of going on rides because I'm a weirdo.





Sup note 8 buddy! If you're gonna spend any serious time drawing on that thing(I've done all my inktobers on it, plus most of what I've drawn over the past year), do yourself a favor and get a Staedtler Noris Digital stylus. It uses the same EMR tech as the S-Pen but the form factor is 1000x better and there's no bullshit side button to hit constantly.

Also, what programs have you tried? I'm sticking with Artrage Mobile because it exports to their desktop version and the tools are fairly intuitive.

Muffinlord, today's mechtober pic is really good, I love that it forms a tiny story with yesterdays

Thanks! It doesn't! At least not intentionally. I just resolved to do more crosshatch style shading, honest. But I do want to revisit the cowboy mech at some point, there's definitely some potential there for further narrative.

The 8 is a phone. A huge one, though; it's slightly smaller than my old Nexus 7. Has really good pen support though, with tilt sensitivity and everything.

I'll have to look into that! I've managed to not run into the button too often, luckily. I wish I could program it to do something useful though.

I've been using Autodesk Sketchbook. It seems like it's got a decent amount of the features I'm looking for, though I'm not sure how to save a brush preset. I don't think I'll be working on too many full pieces with it, but I've been interested in being able to do some plein air thumbnails with it. I haven't gotten around to it just yet outside of those Disneyland pictures, though.

edit: god drat it i'm slow and bad at this



Sketchbook is pretty good. It has a lot of tools, but I think it does a dreadful job communicating anything, and it has a pretty bad save interface. I've also tried Infinite Painter, which has less tools overall but feels quick and intuitive to use. I'm settling on Artrage mobile, which can export to the desktop version and has a pretty good tool selection and really fine control settings. Only things are that it has less categories than the desktop version, a pretty small maximum file size(2048x2048), and no ruler or curve tools, which would be super helpful.

The reason I recommend getting a better stylus is largely because I have literally broken three S-pens. The metal part on the back is wrapped around a core of some kind of crappy rubber that feels like a mechanical pencil eraser and will give if you grip it too firmly or wiggle them too much. Now I only use it if I'm stuck somewhere I either didn't or couldn't bring the Noris.

I'm finally free! I had a lot of fun drawing these, although I'm limping across the finish line on account of I broke my phone screen yesterday evening. Amusingly enough the texture of the scotch tape I'm using to keep the glass from cracking worse is way better than stylus on glossy screen.

Your technique seems fine to me, someone who hasn't painted with real oils in fifteen years, but the ground feels like it's kinda floating in the scene. Maybe use some darker shades to blend into the rocks some more?
