I FINALLY decided to start an art-only Twitter and Instagram so as to limit my inanity spammings:
I also figured out how to make it so that my Instagram posts auto-post onto Twitter without importing all the horrendous Instagram-required hashtags. Hopefully I will be able to start working on actual new art and posting it too sometime soon.

Been experimenting with polaroid lifts. First one is done on SX-70 film I took a few weeks ago.. second one is from 600 film taken today.

I'm terrible at art but I have a 12.9 pro and the new pencil and (sort of...) proper file support makes it really awesome. I'm not good enough to care about or take advantage of Procreate but I sometimes draw in Fresco or Clip and then edit/manipulate with Procreate and it's mostly great.
You can also use a mouse and keyboard at the same time which becomes really useful for some projects.
A request from my free art thread where healthcare workers battling covid-19 while nature rejuvenates.

Here are some screenshots from a few of my 3D unreal engine environments from my portfolio. Im an environment artist ☺ hope you guys like them. This is my first time posting in this thread. There are more images and videos from these environments on my portfolio website: Www.tylerklimek.com
Haven't posted in a bit! I hope all my fellow Era artists are doing well!
Here's a recent post!

I privated my other twitter so a bunch of my images in this thread are broken lol.
But anyway, new twitter for just arts and finally new art for the first time in a long time, it feels like!
"The #SixFanarts art meme has been going around, and I wanted to participate, but I decided to make fanart of my own OCs because I never have the time to draw them these days! ;w;
My twist: 6 fanarts of my various Sun in Aries OCs!
Let's see if I can do the Taurus set soon! "

Thanks ! It's been a while since I uploaded anything or filled a full page, but these circumstances are nice for that.
And there are my inktober submissions if you dig the (lack of) style.
Awesome.
I'm thinking about getting a stylus pen to use with my old ass tablet. I tried to improvise one but it didn't work.
Chie "trial of the dragon" Satonaka in the iconic Bruce Lee jumsuit:
This is one drawing I wanted to make ever since I first played Persona 4 Golden years ago. Originally it looked way more elaborate. Realizing that endless perfectionism wouldn't get me anywhere, I tried to adopt the "don't think, feel" mindset myself and went back to a much sketchier style. I actually finished it pretty quickly after that.

For all its (potential) fanservice, the character creator in SoulCalibur VI actually offers good anatomy and pose references. Below a character doing one of Geralt's poses. It's technically a mannequin in terms of nudity, but better to err on the side of caution, hence the panels and focus on limbs.
(Panels not to scale, btw.)
Face isn't finished yet and might never get finished. My main focus here were the muscles and how to use simple shadows to accentuate them. With around 2 hours of work put in, it's a pretty quick drawing all things considered. I tend to get bogged down in detail, but this time I made sure the basic outline was good and immediately started on the shadows.
Gotta say I'm pretty damn happy with how it turned out.

how is the six fanarts thing working? Someone picks the characters for you, or just draw whatever you like?
Yeah, the idea is to have other people fill in requests for you so you have a variety of characters to draw.
But you can totally forgo that and pick your own faves to draw. Or in my case, I just draw my own characters. ;D
Longtime lurker of this thread: Finally took the jump and grabbed an iPad and Procreate, and am now taking the time to get into The Animator's Survival Kit and wanted to do something quick to show where I'm at before I try and apply those lessons to my own work. Also wanted to see what Procreate's animation features can do and im loving how intuitive everything feels. I always wanted to participate in this thread after admiring for so long, and was inspired to take that leap today! Hopefully this is just step one of many.

I recognize that outfit! PSO2?
I like it!
Myself just got lucky with warranty and got upgraded to the new iPad so I'm waiting for the new pen to be delivered.. I want to take this chance to actually get back to working on my drawings.
Thank you!
And yes, it's from PSO2. Love the character creator and outfits and that particular one is my favorite at the moment!
Im coming from a Surface Pro 4 and the difference in experience between the surface pen and the Apple Pencil (or anything else that I've tried before getting the Apple pencil really) is like a night and day difference, so I'm just getting used to being able to draw diagonal lines correctly and actual palm rejection. Look forward to seeing your work 😊
My cousins' requests for my "Free Art: You suggest something, I draw" thread (they don't post here but wanted me to draw something)
While I have been improving overall, I feel my biggest problem currently is coming up with a pose, and if I have one, actually translating it to a good sketch. I can 'see' a pose with my mind's eye, but I fail to translate it to a proper drawing without some sort of reference to hold onto. So I seek out references in the form of photos, other drawings, etc. which is not a bad thing per se. But A) it can be hard to find the specific pose I am looking for, and more importantly B) when I try to deviate from the reference pose I instantly feel like I'm way out of my depth.
More and more it feels like I miss a solid foundation. The way I draw is like starting an RPG but bypassing the entire early game and going straight for the final boss. Which can be fine if you already played the game a dozen times, but not when it's your first playthrough.
Additionally, sticking so closely to a reference just doesn't make it feel like it's really my own drawing you know. Thing is: whenever I sketch something myself it always ends up looking like crap. Combined with my perfectionism it just makes for a miserable experience overall.
I gave it some further thought and now I wonder if one of those wooden mannequins might help me out? I never really thought about using one, but it might just be what I need. It lets me experiment with any pose and perspective I want, and I could even sketch the mannequin itself in great detail and simply adapt it into an actual human figure in a new layer. It might even help me with shadows (my other big stumbling block).

Since my PC is broken and I'm stuck at home because of this virus, if decided to venture into the uncharted waters of the analog 2D art. I started studying with the courses of the Faber-Castell website, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Then I started the drawabox course, and it worked for a while, but eventually it started making my life miserable, so I gave up. Spent a few days not drawing, not knowing what to do, then I had the idea of drawing pokémons, so this is the first page. I decided to start with the ones with simpler designs. For the second page I want to draw some of my favorite designs (Gengar is already done). Tips and comments are appreciated. I really want to get good at this thing.
