Let's learn how to draw, m'fellas.
Drawing is a meditative, cathartic activity in which we attempt to interpret the world around us, or create a world our very own with every line and every page.
Give it a try, it's never too late to learn something new!
Resources:
Drawing Software:
https://krita.org/Drawing Tablet:
Ebay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or any regional facsimile
Look for
Intuos 3 - PTZ-631W
Intuos 3 - PTZ-930
Intuos 4 - PTK-840
Intuos 5 - PTH-850
Traditional Drawing Tools for getting started:
Basic wood pencils
a Mechanical pencil
Bulk office paper
a Clipboard
a Ruler

Haven't had time for this hobby anymore. I've been trying 3D modeling lately, because it overlaps with other things I'd like to do, but hermetic nerds who have never spoken to another human in decades created blender, so it will take time to unravel its esoteric mysteries.

No.66849
>>66844Not bad, man. You need to try and make sure the shapes are consistent throughout the motion though; his arm further in the background in particular loses a lot of its solidity and consistency as it is brought behind his back. Maybe try using simple shapes for now, like tubes for arms, a sphere for the head and rectangles for the chest and hips so you can gauge your abilities in that area, animation unadulterated by clothing and other distracting details, and then start adding those things later as your consistency with simple things improves
>>66847You will need to put out a lot of highly polished work to attain a following that size. I'd say .01% of people who do art have anywhere near that number. I can't think of any off of the top of my head excluding people who'd made a popular multimedia product like a game or animation.

Here's an old book that might help. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a more modern interpretation by now, though.

>do a motionI think this is a fair sentence. But how do you even begin to "motion"

>>66929If you think of it visually, spacing in animation is most often divided into halves
|1-----|2-----|3-----|4-----|5-----|6-----|7-----|8-----|9-----|10----|11-----|12
BUT! Not evenly like that all the time. Very often it's "halves-divided by halves" as the motion starts from nothing, picks up speed and then comes to a rest (slowing in/slowing out) . e.g.:
|1-|2--|3---|4------|5-------------|6--------------|7------|8---|9--|10-|11/12 (back to start of loop)
There's also timing on "thirds" for very fast movements and which operate on the same concept, but you divide your key frames into thirds (with-I think-the inbetweens still being divided into half)
https://archive.org/details/TheAnimatorsSurvivalKitRichardWilliams No.66941
>>66938Ok i know this one. Problem is... i dont really see whats a "third" or "halves"
In a walk, run, gaits, dances especially.
Or it also dont explain how the body mechanics function like how the gait works. Or maybe in specifically, lines and volumes of the body. Or the supposed arc.
So you got like choices to solve this either in arcs, volumes, or lines.
>>66939 like this example
Sure it is coin and i think it is probably right but
I guess i just dont feel how it works for actual

Also it s mostly for cycles, dances, as linearly moving things and symetrical feels just "fine" to me.

I do not have anything to show. Basic use of the program is a constant comedy of errors. Why won't my transformations work correctly? Well it's because I forgot to hit "apply transformations" earlier. Alright, but I'm pretty sure it worked without doing that before, so what's the problem? Well it turns out some things work differently in object mode and edit mode. But wait, it's not working correctly, because the origin is not where it's supposed to be, because you just have to know somehow that you need to "set origin to geometry" after you "apply transformations".

>Using adobe products is like putting your balls in a vice, pretty unpleasant.They work well for me.
My general "workflow" as a hobbyist/amateur of simple animations:
Adobe Animate (formerly Adobe Flash): to do all the character/subject frames and flat coloring/shading, then export all frames as transparent PNGs
Adobe Photoshop: to add soft shading where I feel is necessary
Clip Studio Paint: to paint the backgrounds (with the character/subject layers on top)
Adobe After Effects: to add post-production effects mostly on the character/subject layers (e.g. blur, glow, edge highlights via alpha mattes, lens flare)
Countless TV cartoons and animated films were made in Adobe Flash. My Little Pony was made in Adobe Flash (with After Effects and Photoshop). You don't need something complicated like Toon Boom, OpenToonz or Retas Studio, or to throw in something like Maya into the pipeline if you don't need or want 3DCG.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Flash_animated_television_serieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Flash_animated_filmsThe Japanese anime studio Science Saru is one of the few anime studios that use Adobe Flash (together with After Effects, and Clip Studio / Photoshop for backgrounds) as you can see from this video, all other anime studios use Retas Studio.

>>67822>It would be too reductionist to say drawings are nothing more than primitives.It's more like my assumption is a lot of art mistakes come down to a poor understanding of the shape you're trying to convey, so drawing primitives from different angles is a good place to start. I don't think it's all you need to be an actually good artist, but it might be the most fundamental prerequisite.

Can anyone recommend a standalone device for drawing? I asked more than a year ago and someone suggested something but I'll look more into it now. Space is a problem for me, I want a device I can use in bed and put on a nearby shelf when not in use

>>68312>I just want a device I will bring with me to [x] or to use at [y] place in my living space that isn't normally conducive to drawing in the slightestA lot of people think they're going to do this but they don't. If you're out and about you're not going to want to be drawing most of the time, and if you're in bed you're just going to fall asleep. Buy something appropriate for where you spend the great majority of your time-at home-and where you'll be most productive-at your desk.
My ipad/apple pencil collects dust while I use my 20 year old Intuos 3 (PTZ-930) almost every day, sitting at an Ikea table in my apartment living room. I have a smaller Intuos 3 (PTZ-631W) I put in a backpack and bring to work/my parents' house.
Focus on getting a table or desk surface that can accommodate your monitor, keyboard and tablet properly instead. I've seen retards use their tablet in their ever-shifting lap or off to the side like a computer mouse because the idea of having to exchange their current desk for one more conducive to a productive hobby and less conducive to displaying their anime figures scares them for some reason. Don't let that be you.

>>68321Yes thats the kind of thing I was thinking thanks
I'll see if I can get a cheap big tablet
>>68330I spend a lot of time in bed watching film actually, as well as browsing the net etc, but this is partly something I do to reverse my myopia and the net-browsing is much less efficient than using a desktop pc or even smartphone.
Maybe drawing might be too hard on my lap, thats a good point though... I don't know how I'll sitting and if it will give me bad posture etc.

>>68338>I'll see if I can get a cheap big tabletThat's the cheapest Android tablet I can find in Ausfalia that supports a pressure sensitive pen. Cheaper tablets do not support these kinds of pressure sensitive pens, they are just capacitive pens which are no better than drawing with a computer mouse, they are absolutely horrible trust me I've used them, you'd just be wasting your money.
If you really don't have the money then you should just be getting a USB drawing tablet for your PC. Maybe get something like this:

>reverse my myopiaSave up for PRK (LASIK can get you corneal flap problems if a broad slaps your face at any time in the future, as well as a higher risk of dry-eye problems, they cost the same but the only catch is PRK takes a little longer to recover) in India. I think it's cheaper to take a flight to India, get PRK done, then a flight back than to get PRK done in Ausfalia.

>>68344The usb tablet might actually be a good idea but I'll have to think about it, it might be too awkward using it on my bed, which is the only place I can really draw right now. I was previously drawing in a book with a mechanical pencil and rubber.
I wouldn't get the eye surgery thing, my myopia is about 0.75-1 right now and if I keep at it I ~THINK~ I'll have perfect vision in 3-4 years, but its too early to guess that really by now.
My setup
>>68526 No.68542
>>68527Think about getting an ergo-arm or perhaps a new desk entirely. This kind of desk setup is aesthetically pleasing but ultimately that's a superficial thing. The models and game system can go anywhere else and they'll look just as good. Get an Ikea table with just a little more
girth instead, or-as I'm thinking of doing-get a work bench that can function as a standing desk (much more expensive, however I personally feel like sitting causes me to fall asleep [regards, Boomer] so the productivity gains will probably be worth it idk)

>>68321This guy makes me laugh because he's like "it's a great tablet but I don't like [catastrophic failure of a design flaw]." In every video. Your stroke lagging is actually extremely fucked up and a debilitating, aggravating problem.
The sooner people realize that every single youtube reviewer is a shill the better. For one thing, the fact of the matter is drawing on a screen tablet is fucked up for both your posture and your eyes, but worse yet it's actually functionally worse than a desktop tablet as well. Unlike most people who don't make their living leaving universally glowing video reviews for chinesium drawing tablets, I have the contextual information and experience to make that statement having owned and used both.

Do you'ns ever use those little wooden dudes that have jointed limbs u can use to create positions to draw? I got one hoping to get back into draw I ng a little.
I can't make heads or tails of many of the posts in this thread, I just like to doodle sometimes with paper and pen / pencil / marker. It seems the most sincere to get into it for the sake of the activity itself and not trying to achieve some fame or something quickly, but to each his own

>>69158They're okay (and thankfully inexpensive) but there are better options these days-at least if you have a second monitor. A 3D model mannequin on sketchfab.com or some of the poseable models they make in Japan (they're expensive though) for example. Are they called Figma or is that some other weeaboo sh*t? heh
Clip Studio Paint has an internal poseable 3D model a lot of people seem to like as well.

https://anon.cafe/loomis/res/1699.htmlHow do you analogously determine refracted shapes on surface of the object, based on the background objects and refracting subject
like picrel here... like there are names like incidence ray and such but i am not completely sure nor have i seen some fullfledge 3d example of the subject
like the word "points where the ray hits theobjects", incidence ray, like, does all object emits ray everywhere or what?
anyway i thought this should have been fundamental, even in 3d.
or not. since it took some few decades(,centuries) for people to write a page of it. anyway, i cant seem to really, Draw it, unless with
