Not sure where else to ask, but is there like a website that gives a daily or weekly prompt and a list of submissions to that prompt, (maybe allowing upvoting by those who submitted) or something similar?
Or should it be made?

I’ve found some good fonts there, and you have the option of searching for only 100% free use fonts.

Thanks for this and everyone else who suggested fonts. I got a font that was free for commercial use and that the guy comissioning me was happy with.

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to get into something closer to a daily drawing habit. Fostering healthy habits is hard!

Here's some life drawings! They vary from 5 to 20 mins.

Hi! Welcome to the thread! Developing new habits IS difficult. It helps if you set aside a specific time in your day when you do the art thing, don't trust that you'll always feel like doing art every day on your own. I love these all, but this one especially (the 20 min ones, I take it?) . The two tones of the markers blend beautifully to create volume. I also chose this one to quote because...

Not being able to tell is not a function of your intelligence! In non-obvious cases it takes time to develop the eye.
The biggest tell that this is traditional is the scanner-darkening in the lower-right corner. The paper is uneven, bent up at that corner and as a result, the scanner's light has scattered instead of capturing the white of the paper.
More subtle signs include the smudging and light blowout of the black ink that's happened when marker has been added after the black ink outlines, visible especially in the dark greyish shade left on the right character's hair stubble, the braid going down her arm, and the "poo poo I ran my hand over this too quick" marks under the character's right arm where the darkest area is. (also visible in the third pic in the same place) There's also an unevenness to the distribution of colour on the markers that's hard to replicate with digital (look at the original red knee line, how it's blorted out strong colour when the marker's been put down, then fades with the quickly made stroke when the flow of the marker can't physically keep up). The red marker shows the same signs of drying out in the two pics above it - the blue marker in the topmost pic flows better.
You'll note the topmost blue pic (compare to the red pic under) has a soft focus throughout, with a slightly darkened area of paper grain or IRL smudge visible throughout the character's shading on the areas where there's no black outline - again, an effect that doesn't appear in digital art.

One of these days someone is gonna look at all this and purposefully make a pic with added scanner darkening and paper grain and finely crafted smudges and be smug af.

I can tell that this is digital from some of the pixels. :eng101:

I just think it is super impressive from a hardware/software perspective how good digital art is nowadays. On the other hand, digital is allowed to have it's own style and feel, no reason to replicate traditional media. But yeah, what do I know.

I'm using the free sketchbook app on my ipad to draw while I'm out and about. There's some things I really wished it had (like clip layers and cropping..) but it's handy and free and feels comfortable for doodling. I really want to upgrade to procreate but I'm only going to do so after 100 drawings to prove it's financially worthwhile.



Also... backgrounds. who needs 'em?

The bottom one was made for a goon and of course my wife loved it and I will have to make a new one.

Thanks! I blocked in the color & shapes (pink & blue) with very old Prismacolor markers, and then inked it (black) with a Pentel Arts Pocket Brush Pen. It's hands-down the best brush pen I've ever used, and it has refillable ink cartridges!

MY GOODNESS what a good mail pup. I love how sturdy he is, and gosh that isometric perspective is great! The color-scheme is also super pleasing.


My friend commissioned me to paint her dog so I spent today doing some studies of the reference she sent me. Shapes blocked in with Prismacolor markers and drawn over with ballpoint pen. Hope to get some thumbnails ready tonight!

Thank you! Half the reason why I love the dotpict app is because the palettes given out by the devs are really good and fun to puzzle out how to make the best of.

Also there's an indie game coming out called draw dog so I had to draw a dog of draw dog.
