>>7160273Wut a qt
>>7160273cute drawingif you dont mind me asking, are you using for the linework a brush with blending?ive seen several artists draw with similar looking brushes and i cant tell if its just a normal opecity brush or its a blending/painting brush by how it seems to blend its strokes into the canvas
>>7156718Anon, can you draw a full model sheet of him?It's for mine researches
>>7160697I've been meaning to for a while lol. Research is important though, I suppose

A couple of hours more thrown at this. Now I am stuffing it with cameos from all my works. Just to do it. Up close eyes and far away eyes:how to render them both succinctly and suggest depth, an ongoing challenge. I might try planning out the next one,but I wasn't having any luck with following my own advice, so I plunged in.
Five days remaining to know if I made it or i'm done for goodI'm sincerely terrified at the thought of having to go back wageslaving
>>7160192>self imposed deadlines>thinking this is healthy at allbrother, you have already made yourself a wageslave via imposing wageslave work ethics into your own self vision of self worth.just draw mate.do it for you before you can do it for others.
>>7160163Whoa this is nuts. Really cool!

Fantasy artwork was best when being made by coomers like Royo or Caldwell.Now what fantasy art are you making anon?
Keeping it alive!

name Lacy Lanshe sells ecchi custom figmas of her online as well as do onlyfans requests like cosplay dancing
>>7157887Gonna be honest, I don't know what machbanding or colour veining is so you're probably already a better artist than I am. My process is pretty simple though. I set up individuals layers for every aspect of the piece, e.g. hair, top, sclera, iris, lips etc., lay down some flat colours, and then I clip layers on top of them and paint on top, merging them once I become satisfied. I try to keep directional lighting in mind, and colour correct as I go.
Why do people pretend like this?
>>7159820You always want to talk to an audience, even if you don't have one. It's incredibly demoralizing
>>7159862How is it demoralizing when you haven't even worked hard to get one?Can you even justify being embarrassed if no one is there to witness?

Some communities are hyper autistic and will like whatever you post as long as the right tag is on it. 90% of my engagment comes from accidentally pandering to said degenerates.
>>7160233As someone who does variety content, people are more likely to stick around if you cater to their niche. Whether it be a fetish or a franchise focus. It's less about ability and skill, but moreso about who you're appealing to. Algorithm aside.
>>7160292>why would anyone follow for some generic Makima pulling collar done a million times ?>>7160247That anon is right, you have to make something worth following.I'm a Makima simp, and recently I followed an artist on Instagram because of her.His version is not only well drawn but sexy since she's wearing a lingerie.I'm not sure I'd follow your "friend" tho, his Makima is kinda meh.
>>7160430>THISPeople generally like consistency so you're better off niching down instead of trying to appeal to everyone.I know a /beg/ that pull 1k+ likes every time they post because they're always drawing the same thing (RWBY lesbians)
>>7160233>TFW recent drawings of my OC perform just as well, if not better than my fotm fanartIt's both great and kinda weird.
Why don't anons talk about this more? Isn't it one of the best ways to "make it"?Less competition as only have your countrymen to compete with, or even just artists in your city. Actually able to charge a fair amount because third worlders can't come over to tattoo your clientsIs a scalable business as you can open studios and hire other artists, has an exit strategy so when you get older the business will be able to run itself kind of like a barbershop. Coomer on patreon will stop earning money the second he drops drawing and be irrelevant, plus no pension etcWon't be under threat from AI unlike digital or concept artist etc, so will always be a need for artists especially in countries where lots of people have tattoos like America and BritainIrl networking with other artists, clients and can maybe get tattooed gf, patreon artist is stuck inside house all day and can only network with other coomers.Can actually be proud of the work you do unlike those forced to draw coom to make a living. Before anons say you don't have to draw coom to make a living. all I see is coom artists making it on patreon or pro concept artists.Some of the points also apply to traditional gallery artists. I think it's come full circle to where trad is again the most viable way to make it as an artist, although you can still do tattoo designs in digital so your skills would carry over.

>>7159732>>Is a scalable business>No, most of the time not.How does it usually work? Is it like a salon where someone rents their space or are artists usually salaried employees? Is it commission based?
>>7160316(o_O) ...... That's a pretty crazy story anon, I wouldn't tattoo on or near someones vagina, penis, anus.... bewbs is about as far as I'd go, I hate piercings so I'd avoid that risk.Sounds like if I just wear gloves and don't tattoo where you tattoo I'll be ok>>7160286These are cool anon, do you buy clearance meat for practice or do butchers give you bits they would throw away for free?>>7160371from what I was reading the owner rents out the chairs. Depending on shop they charge like 50/50 on artist earnings or they charge a flat rate i.e $1000 per month. Seems like the shop owners earn more if they go 50/50 and if the artist is good and brings in lots of money they seem to negotiate up to 65/35
>>7159254Because most tattoo artists work and here we are a bunch of unemployed looses
>>7160581you're assuming you're going to have enough work to pick and choose. you won't
>>7159254I pursued this for a while. Realized after about 6months that most people who get tattoos are retarded weed smokers. There's some genuinely great tattoo artists out there and I have mad respect for the craft but there's no fucking way I can listen to druggies bitch and moan all day with the health dept breathing down my neck. Might have stuck it out if I lived in a state with less occupational licensing.
What's your preferred canvas size?
>>715969624inches by 18inches
>>7159696also 2000 x 2000, but that's just because I like the room for putting all my references on the canvas itself instead of using the reference tab
>>715969632x32 is the best
34in x 24in x 34in
I just use the default A4 on Krita.
How many anons here are actually "classically" or "fomally" trained in an academy or by a teacher who belongs to a noble lineage of art? I see so many insanely skilled painters here, who just drop their art in the draw thread and never give advice or reply to any other anons, and it makes me feel like they have access to knowledge that the rest of his don't have. The video courses, artbooks, and advice given in the various stickies of the generals here don't even seem to be able to help a day 0 beginner cross the bridge towards the high quality stuff I see those anons producing.I don't know. How important is it, in your view, to just go and subscribe to a school like Watts Atelier for 2 years and to just not come back to /ic/ until you're really skilled? For those of you who are really skilled, how did you get there?
>>7158625>brent evistonIs he really that good? I have an instinctive revulsion towards him because some anon kept shilling him for 2 years, but I'm open to changing my mind. If possible, could you post your work? (just a sketch is fine) What makes him so much better than other people like Loomis and Steve Huston?
>>7158551I'm not sure an "art institute" counts as formal training because it's useless and I ended up teaching myself 99.9% of the time off books.I heard similar stories from others, including people that went to art college so it's not just bad luck.Nowadays they're more interested in making money than filtering or expelling bad artists so you end up with self-taught artists as graduates.
>>7158636>What makes him so much better than other people like Loomis and Steve Huston?>NTANo way in hell he's better than Loomis or Huston (or Vilppu-sama) Don't get me wrong, he's good, really good but not that good, those 3 are literal art Gods.
>>7158636>>7158680There's a pantheon of Art Gods that teach and Vilppu is the numba one by far, not a single other artist, not even Watts can come close to our lord and savior.

long story short hire a artist for a commercial work told not upload anything online till the official release and the fucktard post shit on patreon and gets pissed when I chargeback.

What you need to do is let people use their imaginations.Just draw a simple outline your subject, and one's imagination will fill in the rest.This is an example of the NYC Skyline. If you squint, you can see the Statue of Liberty.
>>7155846That's prob more to do with people with no work ethic/everything is "fair use" crowd being employed>>7155861promptards are honestly are gonna do that more T B H. I swear I wouldn't trust a person who only experience was prompting before anything prior to not fuck up in some wayThough you prob need to am in group/studio who can be trusted more so than relying on randoms

I'd guess he thought Patreon wasn't public enough to count. You'd be surprised how quickly people think "Ehhh, I know I've been warned but THIS platform doesn't count" when handling sensitive content.I used to work for the aerospace industry , there was at least a data breach a week just because people thought "double ended encryption" meant you could just share classified shit on Whatsapp when the dedicated server didn't work fast enough.
