No, they're not magnets or infohashes. We're encoding the links to keep bots and scripts from recognizing them as URLs and harvesting/reporting them. Some of the encoded links *may* have multiple layers - like ogres ... or onions! You might have to "peel" them more than once to get to the good part.

/dtg/ - Drawing Tablet General
drawing-tablet-2048px-2670-983819234
Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.

Recommended tablets:

>Screenless:
Used 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 22, Cintiq Pro 27

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 displays. 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 10 years, nothing has changed.
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.

scared koko 2
The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

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.

Business etiquette for commissions
ok-since-were-seeing-yoru-capable-of-affecting-the-statue-v0-rt7zfajeulqd1
Hey /ic/, I need your advice on something that happened.

I was talking to a fairly well-known Twitter artist about a commission. I wanted them to draw Yoru from Chainsaw Man, pointing at the sky while the Statue of Liberty above her was starting to crack, revealing the devil inside. The artist was really nice, professional, and even cracked a few jokes during our conversation. We were getting to know each other, and everything was going well.

At one point, they mentioned that the level of detail I wanted would take a while maybe 2-3 months max since their style is technically and artistically demanding, and they already had a few works in progress. As a joke, I said something like, "Maybe you should start training an AI to emulate your style and just do manual touch-ups for accuracy."

Before that, our replies were pretty fast, almost like a back-and-forth conversation. But after I made that joke, they suddenly stopped responding for nearly 30 minutes. When they finally replied, they just said, "I'll get back to you if I'm available for your request."

I got the feeling I might have offended them, so I apologized and admitted that my joke might have been insensitive. But they haven’t responded since yesterday.

Do you think I really upset them to the point where they won’t take my request, or am I overthinking and they’re just busy? As artists, what do you think I can do to make amends? I’m genuinely feeling so down about this. :(

P.S: I do not support AI "art" and am strongly against it for obvious reasons. I just wanted to make a joke, but I feel it backfired?

Ending the Debate
comparison
Everyone knows the Western approach to drawing is superior and will stand the test of time, while your favorite seasonal anime will be a passing fad. Even your favorite manga artists bend the knee to Andrew Loomis and Bridgman. Anyone that points to moe as their favorite "aesthetic" demonstrates just how hollow a mind they have and how uninspired and vapid their taste truly is. Prove me wrong, animeslop consoomers.

But then i look at mangakas and i'm just so amazed at their skill, lately i've analized every manga panel i come across and it just inspires me a lot. it makes me wonder if they were already that good at my age, how long it took them, etc. are your 20's supposed to be when you get good? i really want to be a good artist, are good mangakas older?

Do any of you guys have any experience using vgen for commissions and receiving payments? I recently got a code from a friend so I signed up and saw that you have to link your paypal to accept requests. I once read that paypal can review your profile on sites that have it linked and if they catch you drawing NSFW they can just shut down your paypal account so I'm a bit hesitant to do so

/dbag/ - Digital Brushes and Assets General
thumbnail
>Publicly editable rentry for CSP assets.
https://rentry.org/CSP_materials
Feel free to contribute brushes you have purchased. Assets that have been deleted from the store are also welcome to be uploaded here.

>CSP assets store wishlist.
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist

>"How do I request brushes?"
1.) Please check the CSP rentry and encoded external rentry first before requesting them in the thread.
2.) If they aren't there, then you should ask the thread.
3.) Post a link of the brushes you're requesting. It will make it faster for the anons interested in purchasing them for the thread.

>"What brush does this artist use?" / "What brush looks like this?"
1.) Search "brush (from:artisthandle)" or "assets.clip-studio.com (from:artisthandle)" on twitter if that's where they post mainly. Make sure to set it to the Latest tab to see the artist's tweets. Or use Nitter.
2.) Search brush posts on their Pixiv Fanboxes/Booth/Patreon. Then try to see if it's on kemono or archives.
3.) If none of the searches work, then ask here.

>"My CSP is cracked so I can't use the asset store"
As long as you log into the asset store it works even on cracked copies.

>"Are there other brush sets aside from the CSP ones?" / "Has this brush set been uploaded before?"
Check the archive. Chances are if it's popular some anon has uploaded it already.

>"What brush is in the OP picture?"
Brush in the OP pic is in the CSP assets rentry. (ID:1743246)

Every time I start up an whiteboard with my friends, I never know what to draw.
Every time I try drawing, I draw circles for like 30 seconds before I get bored and stop.
My shaky hands and lack of coordination make it very hard for me to actually draw straight lines and think about what I'm doing when I'm drawing.

I don't know what else to do.

/dsg/ dynamic sketching general
peter pan
-TRUE UP 2025 edition-

plantanon/carpal tunnel anon, I'm bringing it back, here's a copy paste of the previous OP:

This is a thread for those who want to go through dynamic sketching as a group in an effort to improve drawing skills starting from the very fundamentals. Here we share the tedious grind, crit and encourage each others.
Please specify the week you're on and if it's dynamic sketching 1 or 2 when posting your work.

>What's Dynamic Sketching?
A class by Peter Han that focus on improving draftsmanship, construction and design. It is intended for beginners, but the second class can be useful even for /int/. It covers a wide variety of subjects, but not figure drawing.

>Where to get it?
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0aebc0f02e6c179b62e04c69af3e5adee3abee12&dn=IC-STUDY

\Course\Form and Construction\

>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.

>SCHEDULE
>DS1
week 1: Lines and ellipses
week 2: Organic forms and textures
week 3: Perspective, basic of light
week 4: Form intersections
week 5: (Optional) Materials: markers, paint, pencils, etc.
week 6: Plants
week 7: Redesign
week 8: Preview of DS2: military vehicles
>DS2
week 1: Recap of DS1
week 2: Insects
week 3: Bones
week 4: Animals
week 5: Cars
week 6: Military vehicles
week 7: Planes
week 8: Reworking, Portfolio, New redesigns

TC
TC_image
In TC theoretical framework, I just discovered the following relationship: the 'cultivated' thickness of a 'biform' determines its tendency towards radial or linear properties. This is interesting because it supports the hypothesis of the 'indifferent biform' [the 'brotherhood' is predominant within the 'anticipatory margins'].

A biform with minimal 'degrees of freedom' [a circle with hard edges] does not propagate beyond the explicit boundaries of its border. In contrast, a biform with more complex degrees of freedom [a diffuse line] does propagate beyond its limits, increasing the system's entropy.

How do i get started on coloring/painting? Any good guides? How do i pick what style to go for?
sketches
Pic included are just a few random sketches with different brushes I was testing out. Just to give a general look at the level I'm at right now. It's not amazing, but I saw a video recently that stated it's actually much harder to learn to color, and that lineart isn't really necessary as long as you know how to color, and their end results seemed good enough to me, so I've chosen to focus on coloring for now.

i watched this video which has nice looking art https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOGj7n47xQc the problem is that at some points the artist says stuff like "finally I finish off the eyes" and just zooms through showing 4 different steps with no explanation or guidance. I have the same problem with this as I do when people tell me to look at the pictures I'm inspired by and "try to reverse engineer" the artist's process, which is that it feels like if I do that, it would be the equivalent of asking a fry cook to mimic a great chef's dish simply by looking at what their food looks like at different points in the creation process. I'm a beginner, so it just doesn't work.

I would also appreciate any advice on what coloring or painting 'style' I should go for. I assume this may be up to trial and error and based on the individual's comfort with the styles, but I wanted to check and see if anyone could see what I may do best based off my sketches.

>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.

I legitimately can't think of a single western webcomic drawn by an low skill amateur hobbyist that visually improved by much within it's run.
Literally, all the online comics and indie animation projects that look good are already made by experienced and very skilled artists who have been honing their craft for 10+ years (Speedoru, Gooseworx, TheGoldenSmurf, Ceehaz, Anaugi, etc.) while historically the ones made by actual starting amateurs never improved significantly, except possibly Twokinds (and even then it's not at all impressive compared to the formerly mentioned twitter/newgrounds artists).
What the reason for this? Who's the Sako Toshio or the Kazushi Hagiwara of the western internet creative space?
Basically someone starting with beginner tier art skills but ending up with really professional and high tier art that rivals the very best in the industry by the end of their main project.

what is this exercise and why is it so hard
Hexahedron Practice
Hello, what is this exercise called? I am stuck in a course. I’m trying to practice perspective, but this exercise is so difficult—or maybe I’m just a perfectionist. And there’s another one with 16 sides, so what the heck? I understand the horizontal and vertical cubes, that’s easy, but the diagonal ones are a pain to figure out. Like, how do you even study this and learn to do it perfectly? Any help, please?

Will nibs always give me a less clean looking result than technical pens? I am trying to make my art look neater and technical pens give me that result but are still less versatile than a dip pen is. Do I just need more experience with the latter?

Welcome to /life/. Life drawing is a great way to solidify your understanding of perspective, forms, and movement in the real world to apply them to your own works and pieces. Drawing from life is critical to your development as an artist, yet unfortunately ignored by many artists. Draw from life. It has all of the answers to any question you have.

>Milbrath explains that gifted young artists seem to see the world using functional processing; they attend to surface features and details. Less artistically talented children view the world from an operative processing approach.
The sample size is low, but so is the variance and 88 is a good bit below average. Is there actually a trade-off between general iq and artistic ability? Is that why so many art prodigies are popping up in Africa?

If I bought a solid gold pencil will it improve my technique?
JC3084_1
I have seen a few gold penicls available recently and I have been wondering if buying one would improve my work. I am thinking of the solid gold propelling types as I think plated or rolled would not be as effective in their effect or am I mistaken? Also does higher gold purity lead to better results? There are plenty of 9ct but I have also spotted 10k, 14k and even solid 18k gold pencils for astronomically higher prices. I am kind of in a tight spot financially so I am bit shaky in my budget, but if there is a difference in perfomance that warrants higher purity I am willing to tough it and cheapen' out on my ussually utilities until I am back up to pace money wise.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, this is my first time posting here.
(Actually, I posted another drawing yesterday, but it was removed, and I didn't see anything strange in the rules)
Well, I made this drawing some time ago, colored pencil on A3 paper (420mm x 297mm).
I would like to hear your honest opinions. I intend to dedicate more time to drawing.
I'm also looking for ways to promote my art (if I should... I think so).
