Even jerry?

My favourite dad is daddy

Especially jerry

Good morning, dads.

(ibcah way better now! Keep it up.)

>skipped

Would love to see some more drawings from you instead of painting practice one of these days. You already have a fairly decent understanding of light when drawing from reference. Slowly expanding your arsenal by exploring stuff like drawing and perspective could help, I think. In your most recent study the perspective was quite off and your values in the back were a bit too dark in comparison to the figures. Starting your drawings a bit earlier will also ensure you don't stress out about deadlines at the last minute. I think I''ll try doing some object and light studies because of you, thanks.

>Cannon

Study composition. Your characters are fun and whimsical, but the moment you put them in an environment everything feels flat and wonky. Look up your favourite artists and try to understand what it is about their paintings you like. You're already trying to include narrative in your drawings but push it more. Show us parts of the castle. Help us feel we're there by allowing the viewer to establish themselves in a scene by adding more objects, or textures on the walls etc. Think of your light sources. Study artists like Mike Mignola who are also very graphic but control the scene through the use of light and shadow.

(NEM those sketches are adorable, my heart.)

You are an hour late today anon

I feel like giving up. I'm already old.

>>3621644
Are you over 25 years old? Neuroplasticity begins to rapidly decline after the age of 25.

sammich

I love your stuff dattab!

>>3621654
>25 by december

it can't end like this

>>3621676
eat some babies

>>3621678
the babies are drying up

>>3621169
THIS NOW!! As I am now, I'm like a dog chasing their own tail, a chicken without a head! I need a daddy to guide my hips....no homo...Just point me in some sort of.direction and I'll try to follow! And if I fail, fuck it, I spent no invetments and I like to draw.

>>3621262
...I dont trust this...Your aiming to take me out, I just know it. But crit lists are valuable, this is ic/ after all.

Fuckers, I'm probably a grandpa compared to a lot of you and jealous of all the time you have to waste. You could be gmi-tier if you quit Vidya, stopped wasting your youth masturbating, and worked toward a short term goal. Raki couldn't even paint 2 months ago but they've actively tackled their weakness and improved.

You need to try harder dad, I'm going to work.

>>3621661
Thanks, anon! Join my house on batoru!

>>3621568
Also thank you Shriney for featuring me in the OP

Im gonna brush your ass so hard. You hairy ass mofo

>>3621779
who?

>>3621728
How old are you my good man?

>>3621821
28, anon. 28!

>>3621897
oh no...

the ability to learn rapidly declining or halting after becoming an adult is a relic left over from the incorrect idea that our brains stop growing in our mid 20s

yeah kids have an advantage, theyre little sponges. but anyone, of any age, can forge new paths in their brain from practicing new skills or honing older skills. Anyone can form new habits and perfect new skills.

never trust a zoomer they just want less competition in The Industry

>>3621897
im going to be 28 this october

>>3621953
sorry for ur lots

>>3621966
but im a lot happier now than i was in my late teens and early 20s

>>3621971
happy schmappy
how's ur art

>>3621977
im making progress

>>3621728
I know, and I quitted all of that for the sake of art. But I'm having the worst procrastination rollercoaster in my life. I just can't focus. I even have a super important deadline in month and I'm stil the same. Please help me

>>3621728
>tfw have nothing now but amateur drawing skills
W-well, at least I can tell you guys I tried.

>>3622028

If you seriously have motivation issues, you could try the Nathan Fielder approach to achieving goals.
I.e., set an extremely embarrassing photo to be sent to someone you really care about to be sent in the event of your failure to complete a task within a designated period of time. Like a photo of you jacking off being sent to your mother. Or a picture of you holding up a sign that's covered with racial obscenities being sent to your boss.

>>3621953

joke's on you i'm fucking 30

mehmeh you're good. Now ditch the animu and you'll be better.

>>3621953
>>3622054
>they didn’t plan on making it by this age

>>3622028
Read The Now Habit. Its like 200 pages, and most self help type books are memes but this one's changing my life desu.

>>3622182
>200 pages
Boil it down to 3 sentences, plese

>>3620954
hehehehe
i love this btw

good morning/evening daddies!
trouble falling asleep so please forgive some incredibly sleep deprived thoughts and comments.

>PQ
nice heads! the faces could be a little less sloppy if the spheres and guidelines you based them off were drawn with a little more care.

>all head challenge peeps
honestly, props for making it this far! I can see the practice paying off already.

>awetos
seriously dig the color studies you've been doing. good eye picking out the different hues in white snow.

>meru
eyy karamatsu! that's a great expression. it's comfy to see pen and paper sketches like this. I did notice the lack of hands, haha - time for even more studies.

>KazooKD
solid line control practice, keep it up.

>Cath
the waste disposal is very thoughtful of you. the perspective does look a little whack, especially the block table - check whether your lines lead to the same vanishing points. your cylinders look just flattened, remember to make the curved ends of cylinders fully wrap around the circular form.

>Soubrette
cool knight, I like that even though the armour isn't crazy unique, the pose and little knuckle brace help give a sense of personality.

>Vusta
seems like a solemn mood, looking forward to hopefully seeing this sketch develop further.

>greencat
I like the combination of yellows and blueish/teals. just wanted to add that your explorations for the interior design challenges are coming together really well. is the interior of the lighthouse?

>tekkyJSKURT
your upper body muscles/anatomy look pretty solid. however, I think the proportions of the skull, and connection of the neck area (head to torso connection) are a little weak.

>Narf
dw, you can pick up your streak again! the curves and line art of the whale look great, but the colors are sort of boring - try push the hue shifts as you go from lights to mids and shadows.

>>3622221
>tabascoshrimp
nice pen sketching! I like how you've hatched the feathers. with the head, the cranium/top of the head is a little distorted (too tall/long vertically)

>j
sick stuff. reminds me of the interesting shapes formed by driftwood, I'd like to see it continued, but just more of this stuff in general would be pretty cool.

>Frog
looks like good perspective practice. judging by the way it connects to the A-6 door, the long diagonal line on the very bottom left seems to be going to a different vanishing point.

>CoinHero
I'm curious what's the story here. the camera angle is a bit boring, being dead-on, so I'm wondering if a different angle/composition could help tell a story and mood better.

>Peltingfury
your placement of facial features has improved noticeably, and feel more natural, since taking the heads challenge. I'm jealous.

>plapo
striking lighting scheme. good call on having the cheeks also fall into shadow instead of being illuminated, the face looks a lot better as a whole.

>Ornitorrinco
not much to say, love your lines, faces and expressions. I feel like you could add some adam's apples to those necks.

>Feilereht
I like how functional your invention is, would hold hands.

>steve_owo
cute sketches steve. I'd say to be a bit more careful of long necks and placing the eyes a tad too close together.

>Charl
not a bad composition, leads your eye in to the point of interest/factories, although executed a little haphazardly. try shading areas in a similar direction.

>sort
seems like a nice old doggo with attention paid to the direction of the fur. good job.

>USAUSA
even though I can't quite tell what's going on yet, I'm digging the overall piece and the saturated colours in the patch of light. hopefully adding more to the left half, as everything interesting so far is placed in the right half.

>>3622222
>salome
a pair of a pair of good looking legs. you managed to convey the reflective plasticky material of the red shoes, and the more matte cloth of the black thigh length ones, but I feel the knee area seems a little fuzzy/ill defined - this could've just been the ref though.

>nyorai
Gwendolyn is my queen. pretty eyes here! however, the way you've drawn, the neck seems to stiffly attach vertically from the torso to the head - if you google image the neck and spine, you'll find the neck curves up into the spine at a slight angle, perhaps try convey this more.

>professorSugoi
bloody gorgeous, alright. I still stand by the right version.

>Rakimora
would love to see more of the RPG character, glad to hear you've come that far since then. I can feel the weight and momentum in her(?) pose.

>Celestino
some very steady improvement in your black and white studies, even from just a few days ago! great to see larger, more economic brush work.

>Whitehand
not sure if this is an existing character, but has some interesting religious vibes. it could be the sort of unique anatomy of this particular character, but I do feel the ear placement is a little low, the cranium (top of head) is too small, and the chin too long. Check with a 3d model of the head at that angle on sketch fab perhaps?

>Panzer
damn, looks pretty intense already. good luck man!

>>3622225
>tipsypaipai
I love this a lot, although her ankles appear a little thick, and feet a bit big. I can tell this is something done relatively quick as an exercise though.

>51ip
totally dig the gesture of the figure, I can tell you pushed the pose. somehow the head stands out a bit in comparison as stiff (to me), being relatively straight on.

>Jason
eyy is that Terry? I like the curves of the horse/animal, but the figures are very static, would be good to focus on gesture a bit more!

>Mariafire295
hm, I like this! the colours and simplicity are pretty appealing to me.

>ihatemyselfandneedtodraw
friggin sweet figures and lines, with the directions in the paint strokes and all. I wanna see s'more full/completed figures.

>Menes
your care with the hatching shows, v neat work on the shadows on the leaves.

>>3621597
(M-ME? if so, thanks anon, they're pretty self-indulgent)

honestly just ignore if it's not useful, keep drawing daddies.

I submit late so im always skipped

>>3622221
thank you for your kind and reassuring words! I've already decided that I'll draw hands every day for the next week.

Sleep well, dad

Good morning anon!

>>3622236
Ohayou

>>3622210
"Many people believe that overcoming procrastination is simple: just work harder. The implication is that procrastinators are simply people who aren't working hard enough or who don't have a system in place that helps them to work hard enough. The Now Habit was revolutionary for being the first mainstream procrastination self-help book that focused on helping procrastinators deal with the psychological reasons behind procrastination and skipped the lectures on discipline and motivation."

>>3622222
Thanks for the encouragung words quints anon
>>3622236
GOOD MORNING!

>>3622230
well aren't you just a day brightener, thank you

Shut your hairy ass up. You nasty hairy person you. I bet you could take a comb to that bush between your cheeks.

>>3622336
I will hunt you down and beat up your drawing hand.

>world inventors challenge
funniest challenge yet
ill buy all your inventions

>>3622032
Oh my goodness, that sounds terrible. I'm in.

>>3622182
>>3622238
That sounds great, I hope it's not very hard to read because my english is not the best. Do you have any link to it? I can only find a 70-page powerpoint presentation thing and ads.

Thank you both for the suggestions guys btw

>>3622238
>>3622360
Oh nevermind I just found it. Thank you again

>>3622225
thank you for this anon

>>3622313
do it. you wont.

>>3622360
>>3622403
The English is quite straightforward I think, if you can read the thread you can read the book probably. I hope it helps.

>>3622360
>>3622403
nta, but I can't find it. Am I too much of a brainlet?

ww3's been up for 116 days now, and I think I'll take it down soon. As I said in the beginning, it was just an experiment, and I think it has run its course. The concept lacks some "oumph" factor to make it interesting. Right now I can see it just grinding to a halt, I think it's become boring and will only get more boring as time passes. Simply gaining territories based on quantitative work doesn't merit anything interesting to happen (except nuke on qt's). I wanted there to be some sort of strategy involved when it was made active with player actions, but the only strat is just turtling your way across the map not leaving thin passages. There's no counterplay, or play for that matter. The only thing ww3 right now is a task to look up the id's near you and an outdated representation and wrongly scaled image of who's active on dad. I wanted the game to be passive in the first place as to not be intrusive, but that's even less interesting.

Ty to everyone who's participated, and sorry to those of you who felt it lead to spam in the gallery. If you have any feedback on the concept and how it could be improved, I'm interested in hearing it.

>>3622056
i like drawing anime though. and i'm assuming any talent i get in regards to anime ie. learning forms anatomy inking coloring etc. can be applies too realism if i did decide to make the switch. but for now if it keeps me working and improving id rather go down the anime road but do it right.

>>3622434
WE WERE JUST GETTING INTO IT PLS DONT DO THIS AGAIN

>>3622434
The map gets nuclear wintered every week/month and then everyone gets at it again, but with automatic conquest spreading like a virus randomly without player intervention. Lets just go full /v/.

>>3622434

>>3622434
yeah introduce a nuke concept

maybe add a rods of god concept to it too and wipe out an entire large area

>>3622434
what did you use to code it? i wanna learn how to make something like it

>>3622451
>you will never inspire someone else to learn to code and program
Based w

>>3622453
im a neet so theres no reason not to
and i need something to do other than drawing to fill up my day

>>3622434
This is just the peace before the storm when crabs and QTs collide. Would've been nice if there were more big houses joining in too though.

>>3622434
>People are playing but I'm not having fun, I'll shut it down

My feedback would be quit acting like the bitchy side of W

>>3622455
Might as well just go to school while you're at it and get a degree, make bank and retire early.

>>3622433
It was difficult for me too, I'm not used to doing this kinda thing. I found it on libgen . io , files look a bit dangerous but I didn't have any problem. I'm already reading it, better start soon while I'm motivated than let procrastination take it away

>>3622434
We're just getting started
Pls let it live until QT3.14s and Crabs collide and we can have a final winner.

The fun is about to start

>>3622451
Laravel and vue.js. The code's here: https://github.com/LarsWalter/ww3-lol
You can find most if not all of the actual logic for the importing, territory handling etc in app/Http/Controllers/InfoController.php. Along with the helper functions in app/Helpers/Helper.php.

All the front-end stuff for drawing the map etc is in resources/assets/js/components/Main.vue along with a separate background working for drawing the territories in resources/assets/workers/painter.js. Also a few helpers in resources/assets/js/helpers.js.

Feel free to ask questions, I usually lurk the threads anyways. GOod luck!

>>3622445
>>3622459
>>3622467
>>3622456
If people don't feel the same way I do, I'll keep it up. It doesn't cost me anything or take any of my time besides potential changes. Guess I just wanted some reaffirmation that people actually wanted it to stay.

>>3622465
Thanks friend. I gave up before, but now I get the chance to read it with you too.

>>3622468
We saved it

>>3622225
Thanks for the kind words good sir. The fact that you weren't sure it was a woman or not made me realize that I'm still bad at drawing cute/appealing faces without resorting to the anime look (which I decided I wanted to avoid). I might have made it worse but I gave it a shot and tried to make the figure more feminine.

>>3622468
I love the concept and it actually motivates me when everything else fails. I feel like I don't want to let my team down and I want to make them proud,

It was actually kinda boring at first? When we didn't have houses everything was very quiet, except for bandit and others who were playing to win over a certain part of the map, but houses are making everything a lot more interactive. Hope more daddies will join them or make their own!

>>3622468
Now I won't look stupid making a propaganda poster

>>3622464
im a poor neet ):
i wasnt fortunate enough to have money like other neets on here

>>3622487
I'm a poor neet too. Let's torrent all the shit and gitgud ASAP friend. If you need something to fill your day, commit to doing exercise (free, can do it in your house, or go out to jog and stuff) and try reading one book or two a month. It can be about art or anything related to it (history, nature, biology, and other art related like comics and fundie books).
I'm going to start doing both this week.

>>3622471
I'm rooting for us anon. We are strong enough to do better. Comment your thoughts on the book if you feel like doing so when you get started!

>>3622434
Please no I'm really enjoying it!!!

>>3622319
i would bet that you often work zoomed in and in sections. dont do that. make your canvas smaller or zoom out.
all of your subjects that have more than one major mass are wonky, and you use 5 lines for every needed one.
can i ask if youre literally tracing for practice? "tracing" or marking to find shapes and proportions is fine, but drawing on top of every line isnt going to help you.
i dare you to draw your next scene on some 600x600px without zooming in. gl pal

>>3622328
youre just wasting your time on those heads, buddy. apply what you learned from your studies of forms in perspective, and pay attention to how lopsided your forms are.
you also use 10 lines for every one (1) you actually need. slow down and think, and also lower your saturation when you paint.
i would challenge you to draw more ambitiously-- more extreme perspective, more masses in a single scene-- all while focusing on maintaining those forms correctly. figures may be a good challenge
i would say more but i honestly cant pin point your end goal. most of the stuff on your profile is quite scattered in terms of subject and style.

>>3622332
eh. im not a bully, but im useless apart from the some knowledge ive gotten from drawing for a while. i dont particularly like drawing, but i seem to want to help people who want to get better.

>>3622415
just give me your profile name, bud. we can have some fun

new challenge for self portrait day (November 1)

>>3621568
NEW CHALLENGE POSTED

On Self-Portrait Day, the #MeetTheDad Challege will begin! Please sign up before then, so that we can all get to know our fellow Dads a little more.

https://dad.gallery/challenges/46

>>3622434
For more oomph, maybe you can make it so bigger attacks can be made than the 3 post maximum but not by just raising it. Maybe give the user a point for each full week they've posted on dad and they can use that point to take an extra territory or save as much as and for however long as they'de like for one massive attack after several weeks.

>>3622531
Who is Kawacy's Senpai? It is quite unexpected that Kawacy likes to tie the chicken though.

>>3622221
I shall continue working on the skulls anon, the proportions are something Im currently challenged by. I will start addressing the neck connection as well and work my down. Thanks for the heads up.

>>3622525
Thanks for the crit anon.
Also can you elaborate on more masses on a single scene? And what you mean by more ambitously do you have an example for that one?
You are also right when you say I do write about 10 lines for a single line needed and I have been using 80% saturation most of the time and should lower on that in future works. By figures do you mean gestures? Or a more realistic study?
I do not know if you can count this as an end goal but I just want to better than every /dad/ here in their specialties.

>>3622525
>>3622319 wasn't me
I can crit your crit if you want.

>>3622559
Good morning Clover.

>>3622545
most of your posts (excluding the heads) have a single subject, so by multiple masses i meant that you should try drawing more than a single subject per POV i.e. two figures from the same perspective or multiple cars on the same street. drawing more complex scenes is all i meant by "ambitious."
by drawing the figure i broadly meant the human form since it is made of many simpler forms. drawing mannequins/simplified humans (pic rel) while maintaining both the minor forms and major human form in perspective would be great for you imo

>better than every /dad/ here in their specialties.
yea....

>>3622559
sorry then bud. my mistake
>I can crit your crit if you want.
sure

Give it to me straight, /dad/. Are fundamentals a meme? Should I just draw whatever I like and improve naturally? Or should I put a stop to these childish endeavors and study like a traditional artist who loves the old masters?

>>3622566
Study fundies and what you like. Balance these two out

https://www.strawpoll.me/16553042

How often do you post work on social media?

Artwork only. Comments, likes, sharing not included.

>>3622585
>4 votes

>>3622566
If 2 people draw to improve and only 1 of them studies fundies, the one that studies will improve much 3x faster and avoid the bad habits pitfall that could result in making the same mistakes 5 years later.

>>3622492
This book is giving me PTSD flashbacks with Clare. I'm also procrastinating on reading the book and switching between tabs.

Time to get drunk

>>3622565
Alright then, thanks anon i'll try to do some of these things you have suggested to do. Should I have an end game? I don't really have any artist I really want to become I only ever drew seriously about 4 months ago.

>>3622599
having a goal helps. aimlessly working sucks. its why i stopped

>>3622599
If you're a hobbyist, take it easy and have fun with art. No reason to stress about it, you'll learn and improve with time. If you want to work professionally you need to figure out what field you want to go in and do everything you can to copy artists working in that field to a T while doing original work to add to your portfolio.

>>3622602
Concept art is so varied though. Which ones do you copy to a T?

>>3622608
Well really there's only 3 styles of rendering to choose from:
Mobile game/cartoon/Mobage - Clash of clans

Photorealism/Bashing - Movies, AAA games (Assassin's creed and the like)

Everything in between - Indie games, small studios

Just pick a style you like and build a portfolio catering to that specific rendering style. Also note that your ideas are more important than skill level with concept art, I've heard.

>>3622566
Do both and you'll be good. Only doing one of this bounds you to failure unless you're out of the womb drawing photorealistic pieces

>>3622222
yes I agree its super boring and I'm struggling with fixing that atm. I think I'll try an overhead 3point or something gimmicky like that

>>3622595
Oh it was so hard going through Clare s example. I was legit getting up from the chair and walking in the house and doing dumb stuff like calculating the percent I had read of the book or the page. Also that list of questions that had numbers from 1-6? I relate so much to every single one. I thought I was just an unfunctional human, born that way
Btw I think I'm doing slightly better at focusing on the text while writing down some stuff... but yeah I keep on walking around the house and talking to my dog. At least I'm starting to understand why I do it

>>3621597
Thank you for the critique, daddy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgigj3eejuA

>>3622595
I was reading that part about the procrastination journal/log... It's impossible for me to do. I spend like 4 minutes drawing random lines and deleting them in PS and then I read some comments here for like 5 minutes and then I use my phone to answer a message for 2 minutes and then I go back to drawing. Sounds insane to keep track of all that kind of things... If it works it's just because I'm too lazy to write so many different things a day

>>3622626
It apparently only gets worse from there on. Legitimately stressful to read this book with all the personal experiences and relations. I’m taking a break for later. Got up to talking to yourself section.

>>3622638
I thought the same, it’s specific and if you are just going to generalize, what’s the point in doing the exercise all together kind of feel. I just read over it and moved on. I vaguely know my times and feelings, that should be mildy enough.

>>3622634
>not conquering your fear to transform your sleep paralysis to a lucid dream
ngmi

>>3622643
I just realized that I've had manictime running for a while and I completely forgot about it... I just realized I spend (daily) an average of two hours on facebook (where I don't even post stuff?) and an entire hour on youtube, (probably watching cute or fun stuff to "destress" that doesn't help) and aside from that, almost two hours from checking dumb stuff on google that I don't even remember (doing math of non-sense, reading articles, stalking people or just checking out ebay to see what's trendy) It's soul-crushing. I'm going to ban youtube and facebook, and ban all those dumb sites as soon as I recognize them

Thoughts on the invention challenge?

>>3622670
I had fun and gave me a way to apply some of the stuff from my studies.

Hey guys, I’m kind of lost right now. What do you my drawings are lacking the most atm? I’m just drawing without any idea on what to improve specifically.

https://dad.gallery/users/115
Any opinions greatly appreciated!

>>3622650
You either have to let Satan into your heart completely to do that (no thanks) or just get really good at not opening your eyes when you know it'll happen by messing up a lucid dream activation.

>>3622789
Demons hallucinations are manifestations from instinctual fear of the unknown. Once you condition yourself to believe they're part of your imagination, you'll have no problem getting out of your paralysis. Try it, it feels great and floaty, like on a sensory deprivation tank
>t./x/fag

>>3622761

I think you are good but it seems to me like you don't really know what you want to do. What are your goals? I think some studies on perspective and composition might push you toward actually doing more things from imagination and free you.

>>3622434
lmao

sammich lmao

>>3622807
wtf is sammich?

>>3622799
My goal is to do design for games, be it props, environments or characters, so yeah perspective is definitely a something I should be going much deeper into and practice more.
I guess I’ll keep doing more fzd “just draw” life studies but in proper perspective and 3d. Oh and thumbnails
Just what I needed, thanks!

>>3622761
You're comfort zoning. Try drawing some inorganic forms. Vehicles, buildings, interiors. You know what you're bad at, stop avoiding it.

Prof. Sugoi PhD, it's time to move on, you fuck

USAUSA. Render your forms or draw cell-shaded air brush anime. Pick one because your headed toward pic related atm.

>>3622831
>Do things how I like it or don't do it REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>3622822
Yeah, totally agree, I'll start right this second ^^.
Though I'm thinking I also want to practice doing semi organic buildings and vehicles, as well as skulls, bugs etc, cause things that can be done with only normal boxes is not as difficult imo and I want to really push myself out of stagnation. The most important thing right now is that I draw things through construction I feel, cause I've been slacking on that.

>>3622833
Yeah >>3622831
how dare you give him criticism. I'm trying to be better than him here.

>>3622833
Shut up nerd, post your name and let me give you a legit bully critique or retreat to your hermit crab hovel.

>>3622834
The important thing is getting out of your comfort zone, drawing inorganics is hard because it challenges your knowledge of perspective which most people skimp out on. I'll tell you right now that perspective separates the men from the boys and you WILL improve if you study some Scott Robertson. You can find his book in the artbook thread currently up.

Interior Design challenge is a mix of brutal and fun. I actually needed to learn perspective anyways so it's all fine with me.

Is interior design only useful for concept art? I don't see it used often anywhere else.

>>3622866
Should note, that I abandoned this image. The lines begin to overwhelm me so if I fail at a later stage, in this case I fucked up the stairs terrible, I just get the urge to give up the piece. Which you can tell with the terrible furniture added in after the fact.

>>3622868
You got a ruler anon?

>>3622870
Yes

>>3622866
>Is interior design only useful for concept art?

No, Imagine drawing this without knowledge of 3pt perspective.

>>3622565
Just found some time, most of the crit is based on the assumption that I worked zoomed in, which is wrong, you can tell by zooming into most of my paintings.
The 5 lines thing is only for sketches, which aren't for presentation and on which working loose is faster and more useful.
Tracing has definitely helped me improve, it's essentially a way to force observation.
>subjects that have more than one major mass are wonky
This is unusable.
If I had to self critique negatives only I would say faces are shit, paintings have almost no texture and colors are hit and miss.

>>3622866
dont be afraid to add more lines

>>3622876
Well, I know perspective is useful. I guess my question can interior design produce meaningful compositions, or is it mostly to show off technical skills.

>>3622882
the fuck

>>3622882
I don't have the luxury of hiding the cacophony of lines in a new layer unfortunately.

>>3622890

>>3622893
>>3622894

I'm actually referring to the perspective lines themselves really. I can hardly keep track of them as is. I doubt the staircase image is how you would do that on paper with or without blue lines. Maybe I'm dumb. Oh well. I'll keep on practicing.

>>3622897
there are no shortcuts

>>3622841
youre not funny still

>>3622230
Thank for your time, anon. I'll get better for you!

>>3622897
Just use your brain to figure out a way to keep your paper clean while still using perspective lines, surely you can come up with something.

Just don't get too obsessed with perspective.

Innoooo! Welcome back!

>>3622879
i assumed you worked really far in because your perspective is so inconsistent and it looks like you work with only a single section of your drawing in mind.
>The 5 lines thing is only for sketches, which aren't for presentation and on which working loose is faster and more useful.
well im going to bring it up when the majority of your posts are sketches... even then its not a good excuse
i agree that "tracing" helps observation and while i wouldnt tell you to stop if its helping you, the reason i asked if you were literally going over every line is because its so inefficient. unless theres something obstructing the lines, youre doing nothing to make things clearer, and many times tracing will destroy the subtleties of the original lines.

You scared me for a second there. I've been trying to keep at 3 submissions with 90 mins on each sub for this past month. (failed that, bc overtime at work)

Lachlan will be missed, snib snib snibbity snib.

Who was that one lassie that lived in a Singapore? I wanted to ask them how it was.

Added a searchbar to ww3 so it's easier to find users and specific territory id's. It just returns the first person matching your query, so users like j is impossible to find since someone else with a j in their name pops up first. Also made some changes to greenland.

>>3622434
Thoughts:
It was very fun and motivated me to draw, but the quality of my submissions declined. I couldn't do any serious studies toward improving because I was rushing to put out 3 submissions a day.
I don't think, however, that it would be a healthy way to really improve even if you're a neet who can spend a fuck ton of time on submissions each day. It's kind of a shallow motivation and doesn't encourage you to think or anything. It's definitely better than no motivation, but it misses the essence of art I think.

DAD is making me feel worse about my art, almost of the point of wanting to give up. Kind of weird that I feel like this now because up to a few days ago it was actually motivating me. Am I being a little bitch [y/y]?

>>3624237
>he doesn't know how the real world works

Laugh at him!

>>3624042
The 10 or so people who draw anime.

>>3624290
>doesnt know that marketing makes drawing moot
look buddy, if people in here were in it for the money then they wouldnt need to be grinding and drawing. if you honestly think being good(having a consistent workload output) at drawing translates to more money then you clearly have no idea how the world works.

>>3624290
>>3624299
Who to believe?

>>3624297
Can't wait to read a manga or watch an anime by Sugoi or other animfags. Do you know if one of them as a hidden blog with some scripts/boards?

>>3624302
None, they just bought some tutorial videos on how to make it.

>>3624282

these kinds posts never make sense to me, some of you are really putting dad on a pedestal, you were either going to draw today or not and if you did, good for you, upload it.

>>3624303
Can you list all the anime fags anon?
I want to know if I am on the list or not.

>>3624299
What about it is making you feel worse?

>>3624308
Animefags represent roughly 60% of dad. You are in the semi-realistic anime subcategory.Congrats.

"making it" doesn't mean the same thing to everyone

>>3624319
no but it surely doesnt involve money, luck or marketing otherwise it makes the whole drawing process totally pointless. the whole point of making it is to reach a level of drawing/painting ability that not only you are satisfied with but gives you an identity.

>>3624194
don't you dare to talk badly about bandit he's my boy

>>3624365
he's DEAD
just like Jerybreem, Jeremias and everyone else
all DEAD

>>3624369
Why has /dad/ killed so many lassos?

>>3624332
Making it, to me, means to be able to make a living out of this. I just want to live in a small apartment with someone and have enough to buy a game a month or something like that, It's all I need, I don't mind a low salary or having to work many hours. I understand that style and personality are always a work in progress and I don't want to be stuck with one.

>>3624371
it's a dad eat dad world

That's not how it works. The arts are so ridiculously over-saturated anyways that the only way you'll get ahead, provided your a great artist, is through dumb-luck or connections. Fortunately crowd-funding seems to still be alive and kicking, but that well continues to dry-up because of the rampant abuse, and then connections will be continued to be emphasized over luck.

>>3624460
Yes the arts is overrsaturated with anime users such as yourself. I can see why you're turning to connections in an industry where you need to speak a foreign language rather than skill first.... Oh wait.

>>3624460
>oversaturation meme
Reminder that it’s oversatured with trashy artists

>>3624460
>>3624468
If you're the best person for the job you'll get it, whether another 50 or 500 people applied for that position doesn't matter.

>>3624441
its not about working hard, its working smart and getting the work done retard

>>3624392
I was not the other anon that answered you. But yeah, they're right, the industry is oversaturated with crap and if you're "fairly good" (not even great) and do well with marketing you can make it. It's not even that hard. Someone close to me is making a living out of it and he isn't that great, and he didn't make any marketing at all either. He just contacted people.

But yeah if you aren't good at it and you have that mentality you can tell your dreams goodbye

>>3624488
when I said "marketing" I wanted to say he didnt host a huge website or made a patreon or stuff. He mailed people with his stuff. More like networking than marketing.

>>3624488
contacting people falls under marketing

>>3624493
>>3624489
Different anon but marketing makes me think more of building an audience and spreading a wide net and getting yourself seen by a lot of people. Self promotion and the like. Some artists "make it" without any of that though, by directly contacting art directors and other sources of work. In that case it's more building contacts than audience, or networking rather than marketing.

>>3624489
yeah you dont exactly have to do that, networking is enough and its a pretty big part of marketing too anyways

>>3624496
either way both are not bad to have

>>3624489
Anyone in dad close to his skill level? Just want to gauge what the requirements are before I do this

>>3624502
not about requirements its about what your work is aiming for, you cant just lump random drawings together there needs to be consistency on what youre trying to show to people

>>3624502
Depending on the job or studio you're applying for, with a quick search you should be able to find the kind of work they put out, or even better the artists who already work there. Whenever I look at studios I look up people who already do that job there and find them on artstation or twitter or whatever and it gives a pretty good idea of skill level.

>>3624927
putting kringle in tier 1 confirms youre retarded

>>3624927
>hit or miss tier
dad isn't an art gallery, youre meant to upload your "hits and misses"
this is why tier lists based like this are absolutely flatbrained retarded

>>3624966
>>3624960
>>3624979
and to make it clear, there arnt "normals" every one in their tiers have the same quality and the "closer to" just means they have more hits than misses however with more hits you are likely to increase your quality which would put you in a higher tier.

usually a "hit" image i would regard is an image that has decent colors, readable composition(doesn't have to be dynamic with perspective or an overabundance of elements), good lines/strokes overall at least semi/finished state. with finished pieces i look at the overall technicality (brush dynamics(transparency/opaqueness)(softness/hardness))(complexity of resolution compressing the details or if its in full resolution the quality of the strokes(soft strokes/opaque/textured strokes not interesting with each other)

>>3624997
The Now Habit, I recommended it to some anons last thread.

>>3624997
Someone suggested The Now Habit book and it's amazing. I haven't finished reading it (yet, I want to take some time to memorize and try the techniques myself) but it is very good. My focus today has been a lot better and I feel a bit more relaxed than usual.

>>3625016
no he belongs there. there are way to many misses, his overall technical ability is low, and most of his heads are too derpy/messy so...

>>3625019
>strokes not interesting with each other

>>3624927

>taking tier lists seriously
yikes

>>3625031
People's skills are judged by their strongest work, hence portfolios. Someone's shitty work might be a 5 min sketch they threw together to not get disqualified.
Also post your work with tier list or kill yourself.

>>3625031
nah you are objectively wrong and youre probably beg so your opinion is discarded

>>3625042
a 5 minute sketch gives enough info about your knowledge of drawing technicality/ability to draw to be judged.
>People's skills are judged by their strongest work
yeah and usually people who have strong work are those with a strong drawing ability and strong technical ability, which does not suddenly disappear with a 5 minute sketch

>>3625057
i looked at his entire gallery, and i will assure you he does not meet the requirements for tier 2(too many misses)

Thanks!

sorta worked up about losing my streak.

life has been kind of shit lately and submitting to dad has been my only consistency. now that i fucked up that basic fucking thing im feeling pretty shitty.

does it get better daddies? or am i just putting to much sentimentality into this

>>3625272

its all about the SEASONS boi

>>3625272
There has never been a moment in which I thought "Does it get better?" and it didn't. Keep at it familia

Dad... I don't feel so good...

>>3624927
Wow rude, I'm not lowest tier.

Any tutorial on sketch colouring?

>>3625321
I don't have any specific videos in mind, but you can always find one of these speed paints in a style you like and slow it down to .25 (and mute it!). I've actually learned a lot this way.

Good morning?

What dads do you miss?

>>3625272
you're doing great and you'll do even better, don't worry so much about a dumb game like dad. It won't matter when your dreams come true
Hope stuff in you life gets better dear

I'm really trying daddies but I can't get over the anxiety and sadness
I hate myself so much that I can't start drawing again

>>3625360
I miss you. Please cum on me.

Hi VuSta!

>>3625063
art is a collection of skillsets, draftsmanship is one of them

value, composition, rendering, shape language, narrative/storytelling, (funtional and aesthetic) design, brush economy/markmaking, are some others.

good example is someone like dice tsutsumi, who has rather mediocre drawing ability, and isn't really a designer, but is one of the industries strongest colorists and painters. https://www.instagram.com/dicetsutsumi/

New to the thread, what are the daily challenges?

>>3625396
What a weird assumption

>>3625410
ah, but not a WRONG assumption i see.

Late pee is best pee.

>>3625400
i could make a tier list with these in mind, instead of just putting all anime users at the top because im a biased weeb

>>3625454
I'd rather see a list with all anime users at the top.

That's pretty nice, Louse.

>>3625459
I want to see a ranked anime user only list.

>>3625360
totalimmortal

>>3625454
maybe just draw instead since its ab etter use of your time

>>3625469
This desu

>>3625360
Dead dads just respawn with a new nickname. R-right?

hello is this thing on?

>>3625469
Would literally be a list of names since they're all pretty much around the same skill level with the exception of maybe two. It's pointless.

>>3625469
nah cus the retard who makes it would rank random people who draw big eyes low thinking theyre attempting and failing to draw anime.

*Whew*

Good morning anon!

god I fuckin suck

>>3625360
Mathias

>>3625624
Nah, maybe your art fuckin sucks, but that doesn't mean you do.

>>3625626
;_;

>>3625627
this is me
how to un-link these two
pls help i'm stuck in life because of this

Congrats to all the knights!

>>3625272
Don't get too hung on site streaks, you should take a break once in a while if you feel burned out. Drawing 6 days a week and taking a day off is still drawing consistently.

... Meant to post this much earlier but you know

>>3625654

A low priority feature I considered was "weekend" and "business" modes for DAD. I.e., daily only on Friday - Sunday, or daily only on Monday - Friday.
Not sure how demanded it would be, and it would require some slightly annoying development to do, so I haven't implemented it yet.

>>3625724
that'd be really cool

>>3625724
How did the token system work on las? A system with a set day off is good but a more flexible system where you can choose your break would be ideal

>>3625630
good job daddy knights
after party with the prince/princesses will begin 6pm tonight in your imagination. That is all, thanks all who fought bravely. dismissed and see you all in the next challenges

>>3625760
Token system worked like such:
- When you start your streak you start with 1 token (it can only ever be 1 or 0).
- If you fail to submit one day, you lose that token.
- After 30 days you get your token back.
- If you fail to submit one day without a token, you are eliminated (your streak resets to 0).

Token basically acted as a safety net, intended to protect people from events beyond their control (fall down a flight of stairs, hit by a loomis van, city blackout, whatever basically extenuating circumstances).

In that way it's useful, it's also abusable since it effectively allows you to skip 12 days in a year (most notible example being the user "tripfag" that purposely used up their token every single month).

>>3625760

I wasn't thinking about tokens, but I did consider implementing a "vacation mode". I.e., if you posted up to a really high streak, you can choose to redeem a "vacation period" where your streak won't be broken.

Something like:
> 50 days can be redeemed for a day off
> 200 days can be redeemed for a week off
> 400 days can be redeemed for a month off

Of course, if you don't post, you don't advance during the seasonal challenges, but that's a given. Your DAD streak will be safe, is all.

There are also other metasystems that I've considered, but this is still in the brainstorm phase.

>>3625774
Can I reimburse my dad leaves to cash

>>3625774
I really like this! Sometimes I'm busy with work/life and I don't feel like submitting extremely shitty stuff because I was tired or busy or sick...
Even if this isn't the final system, it's a good idea. ilu banana

>>3625774
this is not too bad an idea, probably lower how many vacation days you gain the longer you stock, otherwise you might get a guy who's kept a streak going for half a decade and gets to have half a year off
then again, maybe he's earned it at that point
I dunno

>>3625825
Yeah, it should be limited. Maybe no more than a week or sth like that

>>3625825
unlimited tokens or people will just use them not to lose them.

No tokens, no rests, cull the weak

>>3625825
>>3625774
LET BUNNYBURGER REST HASN'T SHE DONE ENOUGH?

>>3625866
no rest for cute rabbits

>>3622221

Thanks for the feedback!

>>3625774
sounds good, Fat DD

>200 posts about batoru and tier lists

Is it too much to ask that we shift torward giving advice and focus on improving together? I'm sure a lot of dad's would benefit from it.

We should get pros to join dad

>>3625927

I disagree, to some extent.
I've already had several artists quit silently (manual account purge) because of the site's affiliation with 4chan. In fact, I actually abstained from giving my Github to recruiters due to that (and some revision history that had some extremely low-confidence comments in the news section of the site).
Regardless, people will find out that fact. And in the worst situation, a well known pro will learn this fact, take to Twitter, condemn it, and I might have mess of people raiding, DDoS-ing and/or generally fucking with the site in the name of some misplaced self-righteousness.
