https://load.blogs.allthefallen.moe/ >U.S. District Judge William Orrick on Monday advanced all copyright infringement and trademark claims in a pivotal win for artists. He found that Stable Diffusion, Stability’s AI tool that can create hyperrealistic images in response to a prompt of just a few words, may have been “built to a significant extent on copyrighted works” and created with the intent to “facilitate” infringement. The order could entangle in the litigation any AI company that incorporated the model into its products.
Artbros, we're going to MAKE it. I have encountered the bullshit line where people who shill digital art simply tell you how pen pressure is the most important thing ever.
The second I have heard it I knew it was bullshit. Because I like these pseudo professionals to show me any cartoon or any anime that has verging thickens on their lines. No serious challenge.
If these pen pressure memes are so correct then show me in a comercial cartoon or anime where they are used.
I wait. Now these pseudo professionals will either admit I'm right or call cartoons and anime unprofessional ... and then I ask what is professional? The doodles they post to twitter and are not payed for? Is this professional?
Because you can not get more professional then cartoons and anime that people get payed for. And since I'm interested in animation the discussion is finished here.
However for a bonus round show me any manga that uses this pen pressure shit. I wait, maybe you can find it however I doubt it. How about comics? Maybe however I doubt they are not in DC and not in Marvel.
So how right am I /ic/ ? And why do these idiots keep on saying this and obsessing over a feature that every professional must disable day one?
The truth is a identical and non changing line thickens is the professional way to draw anything. Post your commission info here.

I have zero social skills and my only hobbies are getting fucking jacked and programming. I am a broken man, and I want to draw cute girls. How do I do this and ONLY this? I might consider robots too. how do i get into the social media game? is twitter still the play?
i dont care about making money or anything, I JUST WANT LIKES What’s your progress like? How is this even possible to draw like this? The texture on the sword is impossible. You can see the contours in the metal plates of her shoulder armor. Is this even real? Can I get some tips on pixel art? I want to make cybepunk backgrounds I'll start one
picrel is studies from a class I'm taking it's no secret this list is absolute fucking trash. If you aren't following the "official" inktober prompts, what prompts are you lot doing instead?

I've been trying to get used to digital for awhile now, but no matter what I can't get over it. I'm not trying to insinuate anything bad to digital but I really want to transfer over to it.
Also is zooming in too much really a bad habit? I do that a lot whenever I use a display tablet.
Any tips for getting used to digital? I have tried a display tablet, non-display, and ipad.
Thank you. Figure drawing is a fun and good way to get better at drawing humans.

Previous thread >>7284338 Hi /ic/,
What painting is hanging in the entryway of a 1940's era mansion owned by a vampire and frequented by pseudo-modern undead in current year?
>nothing TOO garrish, I suppose. How detailed do you reckon should concept art be? Especially for character specific conceptual art. How many frames should pixel art sprites use for walk cycle animations? >There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.
>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.
>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.

He hasn't posted since March... General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.

Previous thread: >>7258500 For those of you who got good at painting, how would you tell a beginner to learn it? Suppose the beginner already has some competence in line art.
Would you ask them to start with greyscale first?
Should you start with still lives, or can you jump into figures?
Should you do things traditionally first, or is digital fine?
Should we draw from life, or are photo studies fine? Master copies?
Any courses of note that we should be aware of? Books?
Any advice helps. Bonus points if you post your work! 1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.
2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.
3: Lewds and porn is okay.

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.
General Anime Style Discussion:
>Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc.

What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly, keep discussion at a civil level.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

>Community Resources
>Tag the OP if you want a resource included here. I keep hearing shit like only 0.1% of artists make it. Here are those who count as "failed artists".

>The guy who gave up after Riot Games rejected his /beg/-tier portfolio.
If we narrow down to those who do art 8+ hours a day every single day over many years, following a roadmap with a rational approach to technique, I think that the percentage grows significantly. Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284
Do not read anything into pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
If you have any additional questions, ask them.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills.
Recommended tablets:
>Screenless:
Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom
>Display:
Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Medium (12-16"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra, used iPad Pro 12.9" Gen 1-5
Large (22"+): Cintiq 22HD, Cintiq Pro 27 - Make sure they have VESA standard mounting holes.
Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 8 years, nothing has changed. Consider reading the amazon reviews, particularly the negative spectrum and you will find some very common themes.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. You will see dozens upon dozens of posts in this thread by a chinese schizo shill, who will either be bitching about the OP, gaslighting as a Wacom fan, making pointless spam posts or giving terrible advice (like recommending Huion). Just ignore and report him.
>New iPads
Massively overpriced and overhyped.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.
>Cintiq 13-16"
Completely outclassed by the Galaxy Tab Ultra & iPad
>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface
>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.

If you can only use one of these threads until 4chan burns down which one you picking? Why exactly did this character design work? I just don't feel anything anymore bros. I'm always tired. Commissions make me feel worse, because I never get to take a break and figure out what I like drawing. I've stopped watching television shows, movies, playing games, music doesn't give me inspiration anymore. I almost want to kill myself. All I do is scroll twitter all day and see everyone else settling into their own styles and getting better doing what they like doing and I've been stuck drawing things I don't like for money. I've quit and gotten a normal job multiple times, but those also suck. I haven't gotten any better, arguably I've gotten worse from doing this. It feels like there's no time to try and have fun anymore. I used to study every single day for hours, but it didn't get me anywhere nearly as fast as just drawing pictures like other people do. I'm at the point where I get offered money for commission and have to decline because it's too hard to do anymore.
Don't get into commissions and studying as your primary outlet for drawing it will make you miserable. Yes, this is bullshit AI, but i'm looking for pictures (or actual artists who draw pictures) of characters with this body type.
Most shortstack artists i see just do big boobs, big butt, and it's not what i want. i'm looking for specifically shortstacks with a chubby belly, smaller boobs, wide hips, big butt. For stupid questions and questions that don't deserve their own thread.

Any and all advice is appreciated What the fuck is a "Howie" The 3rd Comics and Random Art Battles (/crab/ 3) tournament will decide (once more) the fate of the multiverse.
Original characters from multiple universes will be kidnapped by me, the Gamemaster, put into teams and take part in many extreme challenges to obtain a single Wish, whatever it may be!

Previously on /crab/3 >>7282062 I was reading some Batman comics and this panel of his back showed up. Is this labeled correctly?
I thought that the lat is supposed to be over the infraspinatus, layer-wise, but it seems like his infraspinatus spills out? Also, what is that turquoise depression? I hear a lot of instructors insisting that "gesture is more important than structure", and that beginners learning to draw should always focus on gesture and expression more than drawing a subject accurately.
Is this really good advice though? I feel like a lot of the time when beginners attempt to draw expressively, the subject's proportions get blown out of whack, often exceeding the boundaries of the canvas. I feel like this philosophy has actually lead a lot of experienced artists to develop bad habits which are very noticeable. Exactly how many weeks, months, and tutorials until I can draw a fox like this? >Founded by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich in 1913,[2] Supremus (Russian: Cyпpeмyc) conceived of the artist as liberated from everything that predetermined the ideal structure of life and art.[3] Projecting that vision onto Cubism, which Malevich admired for its ability to deconstruct art, and in the process change its reference points of art,[4] he led a group of Russian avant-garde artists—including Aleksandra Ekster,[5] Liubov Popova, Olga Rozanova, Ivan Kliun, Ivan Puni, Nadezhda Udaltsova, Nina Genke-Meller, Ksenia Boguslavskaya and others[6]—in what's been described as the first attempt to independently found a Russian avant-garde movement, seceding from the trajectory of prior Russian art history.[4] >Got accused of tracing

Get to drawin! I'm trying to find more artists that put an absurd amount of detail in the skin. Artists that demonstrate their skills in subsurface scattering, wet or oily skin, creases and folds, etc. Mignon comes to mind since he's a midriff specialist. If you have any other artists that put this level of effort into the back, thighs, chest, whatever - post it here. Previous Thread: >>7196009
This is a thread for those who want to go study dynamic sketching as a group in an effort to improve their drawing skills starting from the very fundamentals. Here we share the tedious grind, crit and encourage each other.
Please specify the week and course you're on when posting your work.
>What is Dynamic Sketching?
The Dynamic Sketching is an approach to sketching that focuses on:
>Closely observing life to inspire sketches.
>Breaking down complex objects into simple forms.
>Building confidence using permanent mediums like pen and toned paper.
>The importance of conveying ideas visually.
This method helps artists create expressive and energetic sketches.
First developed by Norman Schureman, an influential teacher at ArtCenter. Many of his students, including Peter Han and Charles Hu, continued his teachings at various schools.
Peter Han's class is intended for beginners, but the second class can be useful even for /int/. Charles Hu's course is probably better suited for /int/s. They both cover a wide variety of subject matter, but the approach can be applied to any subject matter.

>Peter Han says to get a lot of material, are they needed?
Your choice. Honestly, just draw. Use what you have. But if you want, you can get it. You can do it digitally, but try to refrain from using ctrl+z and other features. At the end of the day though, do what you want. As long as you put the work you're gonna see progress.
>I'm /int/ (as if, pyw faggot), should I bother?
If you want to expand your range of subjects, I recommend it. It also covers a lot of fundies that doesn't hurt to revisit. I suggest you start with DS2 though.
Mess up a lot, get that mileage in, but most importantly pyw Thread to study the female body. Post your art, discuss artists, and post resources related to the subject of cute girls and beautiful women.

Previous thread >>7169584 Now that just being good is not enough, as an artist what's your plan B? Anyone ever read or subscribe at some point to an art focused magazine, etc.? Not necessarily industry level that gives tips and info, but mags that show off 2D or 3D art and maybe even have a story with them?
Pic 69% related I CANT FUCKING FIND REF IMAGES OFF OF GOOGLE BECAUSE ALL THE RESULTS ARE AI SLOP I am pretty new. What you think of him, i called it "Chucuito's robot" I think the trick to getting good is starting your manga and gradually getting better since you have to draw everyday to finish it I'm autistic, with ADHD. I can't focus on trying to get better at all or even come up with anything to draw without just giving up and going back to looking at my phone and doing something else.
I've legitimately never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby and have gotten lazy over the years with my only actual one which is writing and the only reason I'm good at writing is because I wanted people to be able to understand what the fuck I was saying and I wanted to write good stories because I thought I'd never be able to make them in a visual medium, but that's it. I've never been able to commit to a serious routine, schedule, or anything. I just sit in my room online doing basically nothing.
Everything I try doing looks so daunting and impossible. I tried learning Source Filmmaker as a teen and I gave up immediately because it looked too complicated. I tried learning how to make my own games in game maker, gave up immediately and never touched it. Even something like drawing just looks so complex and impossible. This is what it's like for everything I try doing. Join artists from all over the world in the Drawpile, the Premiere Cross-Board Collaborative Drawing Event.

i thought you retards say drawing this blue bitch gets you popular Are artists online getting too comfortable with ignoring criticism? The amount of stuff you have to study seems very overwhelming. I've never had a habit of drawing for fun either, so it's more difficult than i'd like to just sit down and do things. do you guys ever do a sketch that leaves you with a feeling that something is off, so you get refs in that exact position to trace over and after tracing you realize that not only does the tracing look off but also the original sketch wasn't wrong at all? HOW THE FUCK DO I GET THIS PART OF THE JAW RIGHT
It always comes out as either a peanut or straight line with too sharp of a turn Hi /ic/
Can you criticize my silent comic
I still an amateur and developing my skills, practicing every day despite my busy university scheduleand your advices and criticism is really important for me because it's direct and real (not sugar coated like the one's I got from my peers)
Thank you Just drew cuphead in this style for fun and also i'm bored lmao just I need more motivation... For the past two weeks I have been way too horny, I couldn't draw anything that wasn't porn.
How to fix this? >formerly the webtoon making general
All formats of webcomics are welcome. PYW and show us what you got.

Webcomic creation is a fun way to hone your skills while building endurance. It will force you out of your comfort zone and is a great medium to practice visual storytelling.

No, they're not info-hashes or magnets; we're encoding the links to keep bots and scripts from recognizing and harvesting/reporting them.

>Ruin it with an obnoxiously obvious watermark that kills any immersion and appeal that the art had going for it
What does /ic/ think about artists who do this? I did not draw today. War Thunder sunk it's claws into me. Tomorrow... Tomorrow I will draw... Yes... my artwork from kindergarten ("freaks" in english) So, what's your endgame, when will you be satisfied? i'm not ready for inktober So I've nearly completed the lineart for this piece, if there is anything you think looks wrong, please could somebody point it out to me, whether through redlining or just a comment? Thanks, I appreciate it.
(tidbit-when it comes to the boobs, the pink outline indicates them being held up by a bra or bikini top, whereas the blue outline is her breasts being free to hang) someone red line this or put it into boxes for me or break it down or similar poses. i don't know how to wrap my mind around this subtle perspective I want to find another niche with good amount of demand and vanilla furry porn isn't cutting it, but I'm too much of a undecisive bitch.
What should I do? Post feral stuff on main and just ignore hat that could bring or should I just make a new account for that stuff? So I was watching the Chris Chan arrest video, and I was at the part where he was yapping about his whole dimension merge shit, when I had an idea for a story
What if there was a story that took place after a generic fantasy universe merged with our own universe, and there are now dragons flying around cities and Wizards with guns and other shit
Is this a good concept or am I just completely out of my mind? If you are a new /beg/inner or an old /beg/inner in art, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice.
Replying to crabs, nodraws and howies is encouraged, keep the thread active.
Also feel free to /blog/post as much as you want you resident schizos.
