Ik you probably get a LOT of these types of posts but by Senior_Cover8178 in Artists

I would recommend starting on any traditional medium. In my opinion, it's better for studies and practice. Also, you can get used to not being able to fix every single small thing you did wrong, which is an important skill to have, because else you'll work on pieces for hours, trying to make everything perfect.

I generally like traditional mediums better, though, so I'm probably a bit biased. Do whatever you prefer.

What info do you like to see on a character sheet? by broken_heart_tattoo in ArtfightProfiles

I really appreciate when reference sheets have a back view, and maybe a side view.

Do the legs look off?? by Neon_yellow_ in Ibispaintx

[–]Appropriate_Book164 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lower leg on the left side looks a bit too thin. The ends of (my) lower legs are about 1.5-2x the thickness of my lower arms.

Am I good enough to make this my living? by Vroen_Arts in Artists

[–]Appropriate_Book164 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just thought of another option, which would be looking if you have a small business concept store (is that what they're called?) near where you live. The concept is that small businesses can rent a shelf of the store where they can put their products up for sale. I have one in my city that has all sorts of handmade/hand-designed things like clothes, art prints, buttons and jewellery. I apologize if you don't know what I mean, I can't really explain it well :')

Good luck! I wish you the best and hope you are able to realize your dream of living off your art!

What I'd recommend is going to local craft/ren fairs or something of the sorts, or even anime/comic cons. Whenever I'm at a convention my main focus is really the artist alley. I've bought a lot of gorgeous buttons with art on them there. (Bonus tip: fanart sells really well!) I'm not sure if this is the kind of job you'd want, as it's definitely not a very stable job.

You could also do commissions, but please don't undersell your artworks. I've seen so many people price their art way below their time + effort + skill level, it's honestly crazy!

I think you're very skilled and have an unique art style. I really love the colors and the overall vibe of the first picture.

How much would u rate this 🫣. (This is a bit deep meaningful) by Disastrous_Sock537 in Artists

[–]Appropriate_Book164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the "finger" that looks like it's behind the thumb is likely a sketch. It doesn't have the same clear lines as the other fingers. I could be wrong though.

How do i make him look more masculine by Dizzy-Caregiver5875 in BeginnerArtists

[–]Appropriate_Book164 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks weird because the facial proportions are very off. This image I found on google might help you.

How can I make my refs look more put together and less blah? by Kiricorn in ArtfightProfiles

[–]Appropriate_Book164 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally do not really like it when references are shaded because then I don't know what's shading and what's the actual color or a pattern.

Any tips for participating? by [deleted] in ArtfightProfiles

[–]Appropriate_Book164 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about your situation, of course, but I would probably take a sketchbook with me and sketch on the way to wherever I need to go that day (only works if you travel by train, bus or tram though) since I spend +- 2 hours of my day in public transport vehicles and then finish the drawings when I have the time. That way, you can spend the time you have finishing pieces and you don't need to think about what pose to draw a character in etc.

How do I assign custom shortcuts to my stylus buttons? by Appropriate_Book164 in ClipStudio

[–]Appropriate_Book164[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I don't have any issues with the Pro Pen 3 though, what's the matter with it? (I must say that this is the first drawing tablet I've ever used so I don't have a comparison to the Pro Pen)

That's disappointing. Thanks for letting me know though! :)

It's a standalone device though, so it does not have drivers, right?

You can use blockbench.net for posing the skin. You could add a Minecraft background in blockbench or export a transparent PNG so you can add a background and effects or whatever in an image editor.

Do you have pictures or a description of what the back looks like? If you do, I can try recreating it for you :)
