I'd just run with the colour-blindness thing and do whatever looks right to you. It'll certainly give your pics a unique quality.
I used to draw when I was a kid, but I have very little artistic ability when it comes to drawing or painting. But since anyone with a computer can "do art" I did these couple of boards for a recent SSX fan-submission thing.

Can't you draw her getting pounded or something?
I'm still painting my cowboy piece. I've been re-doing it over and over until I get a feel for my tools and brushes. It's between Acrylic and oil, but for what I want to do I'm leaning on acrylic.
Watercolor is weird in Painter.
I don't like how it leaves dry paper.

anime style art doesn't equal porn. It depends on what the artist wants to draw.
Why would you want to draw an anime girl not getting pounded. Leper this filth.
You're good at eyes. They have nice depth!
The Rashida Jones one was my first one. I'll sketch some new stuff so we can critique each other so we can improve.
I want to draw some comics making fun of the current political landscape anyways.

Painting should be more comfortable if you have experience with traditional media, such as watercolor, acrylic, oils, chalk. I was trained to be a traditionalist first, so I'm finding the digital transition to be going really smoothly. If you're struggling with digital painting, go back and review the basics. :)
But it could also be the program. I neglected use of my Wacom for months because I only had photoshop and I think photoshop is DREADFUL for digi painting.

Painter X
I know studio arts, but I find that even while doing studio arts shapes and lines more appealing and blending and shading end up to be a chore. Now I do know how to shade with solid shapes and crosshatching, but the digital painting is one of my weaknesses. My Painting teacher said I paint as if I'm drawing. Which is kind of a spot on description of me when I paint/color.

I'm trying to work on my weaknesses as an artist.
My favorite type of shot is a portrait, so when I draw I tend to draw portraits as opposed to the body. One of the main reasons I drew the cowboy piece the way I did was to work on my weaknesses. If it's a weakness, you can only go up.

Nice picture. Can you re-draw it to make her have bigger boobs and longer hair?
I call this piece "Lust"

I don't think the original TIFF master file is really that much bigger. I knew the one most people would see was the small one.
I'm taking an Digital Media class as an elective course. I posted some of my assignment submissions on FB. They're not perfect, as most were done a few hours before the deadline, but I sorta like them. I've never created a full work in Illustrator from scratch before this class. I feel so stupid now.

We were handed some Wacom pen tablets for the self-portrait assignment and told to take whatever approach we prefer. It was my first time using one, and I was instantly blown away. It was so freaking intuitive and easy. All the pressure and tilt sensitive features made me wanna cry. I've wasted so many hours in the past to fake brush strokes that could have literally taken seconds using one of these.
I'm buying one as soon as I get paid this month. I haven't figured which one I'm getting, but I'm leaning towards the Bamboo.
The DD piece has no line art in the background. It's mostly vector graphics and they're blurred on top of that to make the characters in the foreground "pop". Line art is not necessary everywhere.
I got that.
Everything is handdrawn and inked first, then scanned. Sometimes, I decide to switch to vectors for some areas, but I don't work in Illustrator, I work directly on PS for everything (the old PS7 no less). It limits my options (like lines), but I prefer not to switch programs during a project, particularly when done in one go.
But the other project, if you want to get anal about it, has something like half the outlines not visible since everything is so dark. If we're talking about doing things differently, all the lines could have ditched. I think the coloring on the character would have had to be changed a bit, but yeah, it would have worked.

no point in talking to you about anything else dude. You can't even take a damn suggestion without getting defensive (it wasn't even a critique mind you). A true artist would not get defensive from one small suggestion.
If all you want is someone to stroke your ego...well its not going to come from me. On to the next.
I'm still trying to understand why you want to draw someone's ass. :P

First layer of colors finished, currently working on shadows and highlights. Will probably finish this weekend,
PC formatted. Lost files. Working on other stuff in the mean time.
please finish the head Stringer.
What's your budget?
Atra the original is better. I prefer the minimalist design of the first. The spiral halo on the second is too asymmetrical with the rest of the image. There is no reason for it to to be touching the text. Fatten the triangles up, make then wider, and shorter so that the halo canvasses the edge of the font. There are far too many. Less is more.I'll keep your critique in mind when I get done with this crazy semester.
This may also be a personal thing but I would take out all detail out of that jackal face including outlines for nose and inner ear. All of it except the eyes. The bridge to the nose, the two lines look good but try an image without them as well so that we only see the eyes. It will make the jackal look more bold and distinct.
Rodi keep it up girl.
3. How hard/expensive is it to give a design to a t-shirt company and have them print it for you?

I feel like I need to get much more loose with my sketches because everything I draw seems so stiff. :shaq2
I've never heard of that method but it makes a lot of sense.
The hooded woman on the top right has potential to be an interesting piece on its own. The symbol above her head is distracting though - her figure and stance alone seem more than enough to dominate and stand on its own. The halo around her head is fine though - it adds a certain balance and (dare I say) slight religious/fantasy overtones as well without taking away from the main subject. Can I ask why you didn't decide to finish her right leg/foot? I think it would really add a lot of length and elegance to extend her leg and foot into the light and towards the viewer. Her arms also seem a bit short - her fingers should extend beyond the sleeves. Overall I like how you weren't afraid to really work up the contrast on that one - especially on the upper half of the drawing.The source image had her arms concealed by the cloak. As for the bottom of her legs: I could barely make them out because the shadow was so dark. I could probably reference another model in a similar pose in order to flesh out the cloaked woman some more.
Have you tried shading by the "pick up" method (I don't actually know the official name or if it even has one) where you shade in an entire subject then you use erasers to whiten the parts where the light hits. Kneadable erasers work really well for this. I like using the white Staedtler erasers for the really bright spots.I'm familiar with this technique but I'll admit I was half-assing these figures when it came to their shading & highlights.
That's a good one raban, I'm pretty sure you can mine this forums history for comic material. I'd certainly read it, M'lady.:dead

I like your voice and your lyrics also your cover art.
I dig it. The melodic melancholic vibe is on point. The vocals (and sampling?) give it just the right amount of humanity. Similar jams tend to lost that aspect and just wallow in the cold.

Thanks man, I just used samples from a Youtube clip of an old folk recording. Was my first time using samples, I'm happy it turned out wellI like your voice and your lyrics also your cover art.

Obligers respond readily to outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations. In other words, they work hard not to let other people down, but they often let themselves down.
Obligers may find it difficult to form a habit, because often we undertake habits for our own benefit, and Obligers do things more easily for others than for themselves.
For Obligers, the key to forming habits is to create external accountability.
I need to rediscover what the app or website was but there's something out there you can set up that will take a pre-determined amount of money out of your bank account if you don't meet a certain goal within an allotted amount of time.
Once I find this app, I'm thinking about setting up some sort of "game" in which every week I don't create something I loose $20 and it gets put into some sort of "communal lottery" (if possible) and at the end of the year that money goes to some lucky member or members here.
Sure, whatever. But the shit I said is not pseudo-science. Maybe it's not your preferred method of learning how to draw but it's basically how I learned & developed my skills over the years.Also, do you make a living off of your ability to draw? Because I do.
Being good at something and being able to teach the basics of something are two different things, fatboi.
You can see that in the book I mentioned. From what I've seen, Bert Dodson is a decent artist. Nothing particularly mindblowing. But from his writing I can tell he's an absolutely phenomenal teacher. And great teachers are awesome people who can help you learn stuff.
I was referring to that personality nonsense. I don't even see how that's relevant.
Find the line through many small strokes
For some software (like photoshop) you can buy plugins that can help you draw smoother lines.
Here was one I was wanting to try but unfortunately it's only available for windows and not mac: https://lazynezumi.com/
(https://i.imgur.com/omUtDoA.gif)
And as far as drawing smooth lines with physical pencils and pens... it takes a lot of patience and practice.
I've been drawing for years and it's still torture for me to try and draw smooth lines because my hands are way too jittery.
One solution for this is to just draw lightly and continuously (not lifting the pencil off the paper until I'm done with the line) as possible. An artist friend of mine even suggested to focus on where you want the line to go instead of where it's at currently. Easier said than done but I think there's some truth to it.
I want to learn more about 2 things in particular, and none of the resources I have cover it much:
1) Line art, or more specifically, controlling weight and being able to manage it across the whole drawing. Whenever I transition into using ink or digital art, I am a mess at properly inking and it has ruined the last few attempts at a complete drawing that I've had. I can get a somewhat passable lineart in pencil, or at least one that conveys what I want, but I can't transition it to weighted inks, marker brushes, or digital ink pens.
2)Shading. Right now my experience with shading is very amateurish and basic, using darker colors slightly more left of the color scale to lighter colors that skew right. Transition into a highlight, paint and blend, and add dark colors where light cascades off. I know that there are ways to improve this, and vaguely know of a few tips myself, but I'm looking to see if there is a resource that covers it more extensively.
Bluetsu what did you put on that phone to do that
I wish I had more energy to draw :-\ No time, no energy, no inspiration, there's always something. The last time I made an effort I sketched a bunch of people indicted by Mueller since I wanted to draw baddies :lol And that was months ago :fbm
Fine, I tried. I did draw my feet, not my most beautiful work :doge Then I tried to draw some Lomonosov porcelain figurines since they were the first thing I noticed, after my feet.

I have no idea who this Humpty Dumpty shaped man is, but I was asked to draw a quick portrait of him so I did. Pretty weird doing it based on just one poorly lit picture since I feel like I can't tell if it really looks like him or not. Well I gave the picture to my mom who requested the portrait and she started cackling because she thought it was spot on (and wasn't expecting me to include the glass full of booze but loved it) so yay?
