Just keeping a thread open for fantasy and historical artists for various military dress and fantasy equipment that I think is worth drawing. I can post stuff on request if necesary.

Inktober 2023 Anonymous 10/01/2023 (Sun) 20:37:33 No. 6494 [Reply] [Last]
It's October, and it's time for Inktober! The challenge is to make one drawing each day based on the prompts in the image. While Inktober is traditionally meant for inking, other forms of art such as rough sketches, digital artwork, and anything else are all fine and encouraged. As long as you make something. Most people do the daily challenge and aim for consistency, so don't worry about being a perfectionist. Others choose which prompts they like and only post for those days, so they can spend more time on a particular prompt. Some people even use a different set of prompts such as a Pokemon themed set. If you however choose to do so I would share which prompts you're using. That being said, don't over think this and make sure you end up drawing something. The only goal here is to encourage anons to share their art with each other, no matter how trash it might be. We are all trying to help each other become better artists, so feel free to ask for bullying constructive criticism too. Good luck!

And that does it, the first Inktober I've actually fully completed! Not one every day mind you, but still every prompt drawn. I think I definitely learned a bit from keeping with it (not the least how hard it is to actually consistently draw on a more regular schedule) but more importantly what I actually enjoy drawing. It used to be geometric and more abstract forms were my go-to because I felt weak trying to depict a specific subject but with so many different prompts I definitely found it enjoyable throwing anatomy and organic shapes and forms in for variety, and those are things I'd like to focus on improving more (I've only studied plants and animals a small amount and my human anatomy is still really rough). I tried experimenting with line weight and spent more time on each piece way more in the first half of the month, and while I'd like to have kept that up I sort of had to rush to get the rest of these done and so resorted to more freehand 1px sketching, which I've done a lot of in the past. All in all I'm happy with way more of these than I was expecting and it's a relief to finally be done with them all. Thanks to all you other guys for participating! It's pretty engaging seeing what other people come up with for each prompt, and I hope I helped motivate you each to draw more the same way this all motivated me. Happy Inktober!
>>6592 >>6594 Congrats everyone! Glad you were able to finish! I'm still behind unfortunately since I didn't catch up this weekend, but even though I missed the deadline I'm still gonna finish it.

There are a few drawthreads here, but no place for art trades/exchange. So I made one! I'm a hobby artist myself also looking for a few trades to get back in the grind. My most prominent character is Gabriel (red-haired boy) and his girlfriend Larissa (purplish hair, deadpan but kind) Anyway, feel free to share your characters too =)

Do you keep a backlog of things to draw? Are you waiting for your skill to catch up or do you just not have the time or motivation? Do you ever actually work through your ideas or is it still piling up? I have a txt that I keep everthing from random stuff I want to draw to full blown autistic webcomics. As of yet I'm not good enough for any of them. I wonder how many years it'll be until I git gud enough to make that flatland animaton with a cowtits carl sagan and a dfc.

>>2598 I'm just tired of my day job. Once at home, I have my meals and straight to bed. I tried with the paywall thingy and it didn't take off.
I keep a list of ideas for things I want to write and make but as far as drawings go I usually sketch them down or just let them sit around in my head until I forget them. They're more striking as images so jotting them down as just another item on a list doesn't really keep the inspiration going for me.

how to make, plan out, successful art in comics or cartoons...be it panels or scene. the kind that gets millions on interwebs, webcomic. from styling, to marketting, basically what makes a SINGLE, One, piece of art, attracts, No less than 5 numbers, traffic and sales. or, sales. basically the so called quantification of the content, per se, by algorythm. the same one that decides where cookies or soup or takos goes to.

If so, can you post them here if you saved them? Or should I just look through the wayback machine?

That's right. It's that time of the year. Challenge is to make one drawing a day for October based on the prompts in the image. Inktober is traditionally meant to practice your inking skills, but don't let that stop you from doing something else. Digital art, rough sketches, anything else is all fine. As long as you draw something. Join us here by posting every day! It's a nice way to make sure you stick to the challenge, and you can always asks us to bully you give you constructive feedback. Finally, don't worry about missing a day. Try to keep to the challenge, but it's much better to miss a day and continue than to miss one and give. Again, Just Draw. Good Luck!

Esteemed followers of the arts, our friends at anon.cafe need to know if we're still interested in participating in the Infinity Cup competition. For those who don't know it's an AI soccer tournament among boards from the post 8chan exodus Let's show them that we want to be there by having a dedicated thread! Will you be watching with me, anon?

Selling art. Anonymous 02/11/2021 (Thu) 10:34:22 No. 1721 [Reply]
So let's say I'm desperate to make money for >reasons Although I'm not a great painter how do I go about selling this stuff? Like hypothetically lets say that I produced something sort of akin to one of Gericault's head studies which aren't that great in comparison to his other works. or similar to Alice Neel, which is to say out of sheer technical failure. Is something like this worth selling? Regardless I think it's clear that I won't make it in time in regards to my skill in painting to produce quite the piece. I'll ultimately just have to cast the bait and hope something baits. Where? Do I just go to like a local Sotheby's or Christie's agent and bin the thing let them see if it sells, you know, at all? Do they accept early works from artists with no real industry experience? If not who does? I know some of you guys had enough experience with traditional art, not sure if you've all only sold digital since, but I do need any help and this is the only art discussion board I know of. How is something like this priced assuming you're given that option like online? I've seen 6x6 inch paintings get priced higher than 24x32 inch paper drawings of higher detail. It's super strange. Does something like that really make that much money? I know the most costly sketch ever sold was only 7 million so my plan of selling drawings as pieces is probably out of the question. Regardless how does one go about selling these things?

>>6310 Yeah I did, check again; I'm not going anywhere until I've heard from some of the others. There are a few people who historically had only popped in once in a while on the board so you're stuck with me for the time being. I'm just not going to go out of my way to "promote" the board anymore is all. I'll leave that to the next BO-I hope he has more success than I did.
