If you are a /beg/inner or /int/ermediate in art, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice.
Use this thread instead of making new threads or post in the drawthread with fundamental exercises.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS using one of the following methods:
1. screenshot the image and post that instead
2. change camera capture settings to something smaller
3. send to computer and resize in MSPaint

TRY TO BE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK.
When giving feedback, avoid vague "advice" - point what's wrong and try to give the anon you're quoting a clear direction to improve their art (study heads < watch THIS VIDEO about head structure, read THIS SECTION of THIS ARTIST'S BOOK, etc).
You, feedback seeking anon, should also try to be clear and concise when asking for critique/help. When posting your artwork, say what you want help with, and what's your goal with the study/artwork.

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**
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.
>Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc
>Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help.
**Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**

Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284 [Open]
If you have any additional questions, ask them.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills.
>I'm thinking of getting the Wacom One, should I buy it?
Fuck off retard. Ask a better question.
Recommended tablets:
>Intuos 3
Best screenless tablet. Look for one on Craigslist or Ebay.
>Intuos 4, 5 & Pro
Also good options. Will burn through your nibs.
>Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Budget portable display tablet. Very solid drawing experience with Wacom EMR tech, but a small 10.4" display area.
>Used iPad Pro 2nd Gen 12.9"
Best option for a display tablet.
>Galaxy Tab S7+/S8+
Good premium alternative to an iPad Pro
>One by Wacom - solid cheap option (not Wacom One)
>Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand
Poor build quality, lackluster pens, broken tilt, struggles to register light pressure, horrible customer support and the displays are not calibrated. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are. Also watch out, Chinese companies shill HARD on /ic/; they do a lot of samefagging and frequently hurl personal insults.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
The N-Trig digitizer means you will always get wobbly lines.
>Lenovo
Bad drawing performance because they're not designed with art in mind.
>iPads (brand new) - Bad value
>iMacs and Macbooks
Never buy this garbage under any circumstance. It's a locked ecosystem with rubbish hardware you can't upgrade.

This is in an effort to train your observational skills and develop your ability to understand what you're looking at, how to simplify it and how to put it in paper.
You may want to:
*Practice at least 10 figure drawings exercises every day.
*Ask and OBSERVE others' works in order to implement useful approaches to your own process.
*Post no matter your skill level, the point is to learn, not seek outside recognition, if you get called a /beg/ that's par for the course.
*Use any medium you feel most comfortable with, be that digital or traditional.
*Draw as quickly and efficiently as possible, focus on the general form and DO NOT get caught in on the details.
Some resources to help practice:
https://quickposes.com/en
https://line-of-action.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing
http://reference.sketchdaily.net
>Guidelines:
1. [THE MOST IMPORTANT] Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox, Imgur, or any off-site that hosts images for your works. Note: If you're having issues viewing catbox links, use a VPN.
2. Do not post child photo references, legal or otherwise.
3. Due to this general's PPH (posts per hour/thread activity), please wait until the thread falls to around page 5 or 6 before making a thread. Use archived(moe) or warosu to retrieve the old threads.
4. Keep all outside drama from other generals, boards, or outside communities from /lsg/.

Remember to get up and exercise every now and then or you'll die from a heart attack. The worst possible fate is to die a fat bastard.
Not trying to heckle, genuinely curious.
What's your reason?
>When conceptualising human and machine creativity,
we find that artists highlighted a difference in scope:
while ML models could help produce surprising
variations of existing images, the artist is irreplaceable
in giving these images artistic context and intention.
As artists highlighted, the creativity involved in art-
making is about making creative choices––a practice
beyond of the capabilities of current ML technology.
Reflecting on their ML-based practices, artists
found many similarities with past periods in art history:
the code-based and computer arts of the 1960s and
1970s and the harnessing of randomness by much
experimental art. Many also found the generative
capabilities of ML models to be a “step change”
departure from past tools.
Ultimately, however, most agreed that despite
the increased affordances of ML technologies, the
relationship between artists and their media remains
essentially unchanged––as artists ultimately work to
address human, rather than technical, questions.

How are you doing? What chapter are you on? Questions or recommendations?
>Scott Robertson doesn’t use gesture
>Industrial design artist don’t use gesture
>Architects don’t use gesture
>KimgJunggi doesn’t use it (but he does use perspective)
2.- Even In figure drawing gesture is meaningless without perspective.
I don’t even mean basic 1-2-3 point. Gesture without perspective are literally just random scribbles because you won’t even understand what the hell it means in 3d space. You don’t even understand things get bigger the closer you are.
And all the teachers that say the opposite is because they forgot perspective they grasped perspective first it comes as second nature.
3.-People can’t even agree what “gesture” is.
Everyone has a different definition. At worst you get a “feel the energy” bullshit everyone regurgitates. At best you get a” line that cone ran the forms’ explanation which is not helpful.hatsoever.
Perspective IS the most important fundamental, not gesture.

The biggest problem I have is that although I enjoy making NSFW art, I still want to make normal artwork. I’ve seen many NSFW artists have difficulty switching over since people care more about the porn they did than their traditional art. Not only that, but I am also worried about my future as well. I don’t want ten years to go by and get fired from my job just because of some lewds I made years ago on an old account. Is there a way for me to post NSWF artwork online without risking someone possibly tracing it back to my identity?
Previous Thread: >>6187827
Welcome to the third installment of /FG/ a general thread you may use to post Futanari, share references or discuss how to approach the anatomy behind a Futanari.
>Why a Futa/Trap General?
In order to prevent any disruption from the regular draw threads who do not wish to partake in pornographic content you may post your Futanari related content here instead.
>Is Western art allowed?
The term Futanari implies the eastern anime style, however you may post a Western style in order to accommodate the /salt/ generals.
>What if I don't want to post Futa? This is a red board after all.
Nothing will stop you from posting other forms of content but you may find that the other general draw threads may offer better chances of you receiving feedback.
>Any resources? What artists should I look towards to as an example of a Futanari?
You may find Futa content from >>>/d/ in the mean time as these generals are relatively new. The Futanari artist Efuya Messy may serve as an example of how you may depict a Futa. You may also find that Messy also illustrates the internal organs and other theoretical applications of his Futas which may prove to be useful in understanding the Futa form.
These generals are still in their development stages, there was an attempt to include Traps but the general sentiment was that because Traps are technically Males Traps/Femboys belong in the CuteBoyStudyGeneral /CBSG/. If you wish to provide feedback or suggestions about these generals or share any resources please do so.
How do I do that?
I was thinking of making an excelcoin but that's not ridiculous enough.
I like to do some of these prompts from time to time: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOCqaYZhg5xyNrXeGYoOGZJpR8TecprxS
I don't get it. is this supposed to be impressive?
I can't find any of their thoughts, its gotten to the point where I am genuinely considering not bothering spending 12 hours a day grinding perspective anymore. Seems kinda pointless.
Anyone know what the pros think?

What do you guys think?
It has been 1 day since I have been trying this method. I'm planning to use this for 3 whole months without day break. I also urge you to try the same, anon. This is the only method that can help you get out of your low beg stage. I promise 100% it will work, come along with me, observe and gather the beauty of this world into your sketchbook and let's improve together. Our life will change for the better. You and me.
>add commission samples to a tweet you post that got big
>get replies saying i should get a new hobby that i should quit art entirely etc
whos telling the truth?
Do you guys have tips on having similar artstyle?
>Slow down and simplify

Also,

If you need a comparison heres the first 20000 images uploaded to danbooru which were all posted in 2005/2006 (higher page number = older image)

If you're interested feel free to share an image you like or think is "soulful"

Basically mixing GGXrd techniques of toon shading, but like using it for the base limbs and core of the body, while you use something like a cut out system from 2D toon boom rig for the head and hand, while the fingers are drawn later in another 2D traditional animation tool like TV paint in some post process paint over, while the flowing skirts and hair are just traditionally animated by pen and paper, and later add in a compositing tool, and in a later step, do some post process where you paint over quickly some fixes and do like add inner drawing animated by traditional animation like flowing folds, then do some post process it to give 80's grainny style?
Basically, like a multi compositing paint over animated layer step.
1) Make the 3D base using stuff shit that doesn't really change, like human limbs.
2) Paint over to make it look 2D and fix mistakes.
3) Create a library of cutout hand and head shapes and ear and mouse and nose dots.
4) Create an animated version of the eyes moving in the scene, being traditionally animated, while tracing the scene.
5) Composite the head and hands into the 3D paint over animation.
6) Traditionally draw in pen and paper, keeping some printed frame reference, some 8-12 frame loops of the hair, flags and other windy clothes like skirts.
7) Paint those hair loops, using 2D painting tool.
8) Composite these into the other pieces, as some paintover.
9) Fix some errors using paintover.
10) Do post processing to make it seem like granny old VHS film.
There's not a single reason I have to think I can't separate my 2D animations into a 3D base using toon shaders of the static body limbs, fix with some quick paintover, then do two aditional layers.

Lined or lineless?
Hard or soft shading?
Exaggerated or realistic?
One layer or multiple?
No crabs please
I'll start. I like the composition on my goose caricature but the lighting isn't working. It's a dark scene with a pink floodlight in front of him and an ambient blue glow at night. I can't figure out how to balance the lighting contrast without breaking the scene. (Turning him candy pink, making it not night, etc)
Accurate/detailed anatomy and it doesn’t have to be posable. Any recommendations?

I want to download many gbs of modern paintings to look while I'm on the bus or waiting something.
I use 0.7 mechanical on paper, how do I convert it to digital brush?
Also digital feels weird what pp should I keep? And more tips?

how to get out of a rut like this? I haven't been able to draw anything I'd like to in months
Fun with a pencil is a particularly awful beginner book. There's no point drawing any of that stuff until you know how to draw basic volumes.

TRY TO BE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK.
When giving feedback, avoid vague "advice" - point what's wrong and try to give the anon you're quoting a clear direction to improve their art (study heads < watch THIS VIDEO about head structure, read THIS SECTION of THIS ARTIST'S BOOK, etc).
You, feedback seeking anon, should also try to be clear and concise when asking for critique/help. When posting your artwork, say what you want help with, and what's your goal with the study/artwork.
