howdy yall, does anyone know any good challenges/prompt lists for exploring a character? i want to get better at drawing one but kinda struggle with coming up with a lot of various scenarios to put him in lol
dude, manifested
it's been on my mind all may and to see it mentioned in the june dev update made me jump out of my seat!!! i'm so excited, this (or groups/communities) was the feature that was missing the most for me to make this site perfect
and the gnome removal of course
drawing backgrounds is hard (breaking news everybody) and mine's been stagnating for a while because i'm stuck on a roadblock. basically if you can't do detailed lineart you go the painterly route and rely on tonal variations and abstract brush strokes to create visual interest, and if you struggle with colors you dunk all skillpoints in lineart and create visual interest by drawing little details that way and keeping the colors more simple (and, of course, if you're god tier industry mammoth you can do both at the same time)
and you can also be me and struggle with both really fine detailed linearts and really complex varied color palettes so you gotta find the way to develop a style that has just enough lineart and just enough colors to look pleasing to the eye, and i'm once again starting to feel like it's impossible. and i know, nothing's impossible with enough practice so i'll keep going but i needed to whine so thanks for reading lol
i'm trying to replace my habit of doomscrolling with drawing and i've realized that the biggest barrier for me is the convenience of it, like it's always fun and enjoyable to practice some figure drawing but searching for refs is teeeeedioooouuuussss oh my gooodddd and that's what stops me. if i could just pull up a reference in a couple minutes and get to drawing it would remove that barrier
so i'm compiling a folder of handpicked good looking references for myself, i reckon if i get a few hundreds i'll be all set for a while. so where do you get your references? i'm looking at pinterest and have found a couple of reference makers on deviantart but i want more
hey yall, so here's a thing, i have some excluded tags on here but it clearly doesn't work for the body of the journals, uh, if that makes sense. if the word appears in text it still shows up for me, i'm wondering if there's a way to mute words from text posts too, not just tags? couldn't find it in settings myself
