What kind of program should I use that is focused on vector graphics the way Flash was?
>>8067596>convert your raster created artlearn to bezier you fucking dumb fuckillustrator has it's own workflow, unfortunately adobe mothballed freehand rather than picking the better tools from the corpse and integrating them but yeah, learn to fucking vector properly or shut up.
>>8067604>learn to bezier you fucking dumb fuckTakes too much time, when the converting tool gets you pretty good results, and you can edit the vectorized result too.
>>8067604I do like Bezier. I'm coming at all this with CAD experience and it has an excellent fit point tool that is similar to Bezier but with more precise editing possibilities. With that, editing a segment of a line only edits that segment whereas editing a segment of a line drawn with the Bezier tool will usually affect the previous one too in order to satisfy whatever internal math it's using to draw its curves. I would just use CAD to draw but it's really not made for art at all.
If you have an iPad, Adobe Fresco has vector brushes. There is a desktop version but...it's not the greatest...
affinity has real good vector tools
Are these prices realistic?
>>8072743its a pinup of princess peach its a miracle they haven't been sued yet. Fair use generally gets murky when dealing with commercial work (like a 5k commission).
>>8072770Its a sample. You're not there to commission a sega character you're there to ask for whatever you as a client wants
>>8072771using princess peach to advertise your near industry rates commission art business is probably not smart.
>>8072772Unless nintendo actively sues them, i don't see any issues placing fanart as a sample for one's services
>>8071645coomers got real mad at the prices

>>8072658I don't have a computer fuuck
which cover do you preffer? This
>>8072767or this one?
Hope you've had a good day!
>>8072767In order to have this one work you gotta darken the shadows of the piece in order to make the light source of the lantern stand out. An easy way to fuck around with that is duplicating the colors in a seperate layer, add like a Multiply effect to that layer, and use a soft eraser on that layer to erase away the parts of the piece that you want brighterAnd if you want this piece to work >>8072768 you gotta integrate the girl into the stained glass more. That would require some more effort but the most easiest way is just making the girls outline THICK, something like pic related. I would also axe the stain glass having the name on it and really focus in on the ribbon being where you display the title. Give more attention to the text there and enlarge the ribbon.I think I would need to see those improvements in order to judge more properly, but if you wanna print this is a book to sell then the first one with the lantern is the easy choice cause its telling a snippet of a story that you got goin on. The second one even if you follow my advice is more of a page transition-er or chapter art. You know, bonus shit for the viewer
Previously on Real Housewives: >>8057339 >Look, there is no time to explain; take this pamphlet on the best practices here1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.2.

>>8072640looks like you gave up too early on the hands, you won't improve if you avoid drawing what makes you uncomfortable >>8072663happy halloween
>>8072682Probably though its actually from a doll reference.The resolution isnt great so the hands are hard to see in detail. Hands are definitly something I should sit down and grind though.here is the source:https://files.catbox.moe/jocsc6.webp
>>8072682Doll is that you? Huge improvement over before.
>>8072684cute doll, but the hands you drew are still too sloppy

I bought a sketchbook and a few pencils, I have a cheap Wacom tablet on the way as well as the Keys to Drawing book. I really want to draw. However, I am insanely scared that if I start drawing I won't get better. And then after hundreds of hours of drawing and trying to learn (fundamentals) I will still be shit.When I look at beginners, they can already draw a bit. My level is literally zero, I have no talent, nothing. I want to draw but I am too scared.
Why the fuck are you interested in drawing if you don't like it then? Find another hobby
>>8072279I still get scared of drawing and I'm an expert
>>8072279Don't startSeriously
>>8072279>hundreds of hourslol, lmao even
>>8072279That fear is weakness trying to protect itself.
Where are the vanishing points in the top panel?
>>8069969roughlyit's a 2 point perspective
>>8070125that's just the artist taking some liberties to make that character pop instead of being on the same eye level as the two guys in the background which would put his face over the gutter between panelsmaybe that guy is standing in a higher place in the scifi complex, i don't fucking know
technically he should be here
>>8072414I get it's because the character's head lines up with the horizon line, but isn't the horizon line meant for the camera/viewer rather than characters in the panel? Unless the panel is seen through the POV of the character obviously
>>8072774You got me. I was just larping. I have no idea how the lines work lol.

>>8072676Mogging me, but I think the face is too flat. It should have some curvature and left eye should be smaller due to perspective (looks like 3/4 angle).
>>8072715You're looking at it. I erase stuff when I no longer need it. I'll see if I remember to not do that next time although I assure you it's nothing crazy, just some sloppily drawn ovals with lines going through their centers and sometimes a flat side and/or bottom.>>8072716I agree that something looks weird but I thought it was because the arm/bicep is facing sideways when it should probably be on a three quarter forward angle. I don't really know how to fix the tits though.
>>8072721Thanks. Cool refs you got there. I like your exaggerated S-pose gesture. As for anatomy I copied some Bridgeman and else followed the "just draw" method. I plan to work on my fundies starting 3rd week of November. I'll have an hour more to spend each day.>>8072722I'll show the undersketch tomorrow, the head is rather small. I sorta blew up the hair, I guess for the end result it makes no difference and it is too big. I get more retarded as time goes on. Maybe one day I can retire on autismbux.

>>8040474Requesting the 3rd Volume of the Punishing Gray Raven artbook, i already found the first and second ones from e-hentai, but can't seem to find the 3rd anywhere.
>>8072371>Anyone knows how the point system works in e-h? I thought you can only gain points if you have a gallery, or uploaded a torrent yourself, as per the wiki.>But I didn't do no such thing. And I got a lot of points. And even a big gallery is only like a few thousands points.The economy inside EH has three currencies:Hath - Users who sign up to operate EH's distributed processing system, "Hentai At Home" (hence the abbreviated term "HatH") earn Hath, which you can exchange for goodies or sell on the Hath Exchange for a lot of Credits. A single unit of Hath goes for about 2500 Credits!Credits - You get a small amount of Credits every day, plus you can also earn them in the Hentaiverse game or get them from other users when they pay you a bounty.Gallery Points - This is what we're really interested in. Gallery Points allow you to download galleries (duh?). GP comes from having galleries and torrents that other users download, but the fastest way to get them is to buy them with credits at EH's GP Exchange. The exchange rate is somewhere between 4:1 and 5:1.

Is there a painless way to get these sorts of grids in CSP? Artist is bucheu_cm.
>>8072706>>8072707who’s the artist op?
>>8072731bucheu_cm
it's a mystery
>>8072742I don't think that's it.
>>8072745-731 here, i tried and my program doesn’t do this. i found someone a twin to your artist who constructed using similar grids in just the same colors but they just constructed their own using a typical grid off of google, duplicating it to the correct number of vanishing points, then shifting and enlarging them as needed in relation to one another. but looking closer, your artist doesn’t do this, because the first one is irregular enough it looks hand-made. like, most simply, check out the far left blue vanishing point’s radiating lines, as their frequency of expression increases to imply nearing the horizon line to imply the ceiling and floor of an interior space as the artist intends, with the height of the walls left free of blue lines.but in the second it looks like they must have either a massive copy and paste grid to produce such thin lines like a vector that aren’t pixelated when enlarging it that much, or they’re applying a simple radial vector when zoomed way out in their program that remains a vector or shape until you apply it. i use procreate now and always draw my own grids, but when i had photoshop it used to do this. sorry, tried to help as much as i could since you were kind to answer my question. if your program can create radial vectors, this should do it. i bet in some programs that can you can even control the thickness of lines and generalized number of radiating lines. wish you well
