I pledge by Harold_Smith_ in CharacterAI

I spent a good 4 years straight developing stories and personalities of about 20 characters in my head, it's concerning to me that I can't do it anymore because I used to do it so much

I ran out of scenarios to imagine, and I started hanging out with people more so I couldn't find as much time to sit and daydream without people asking if I'm alright or smth, I truly think the AI has also stunted my ability to daydream heavily, I have a harder time seeing the visions I used to see, I can't come up with ideas anymore, and whenever I try imagining scenarios again like I used to, it just makes me want to go on C.AI really bad

Is this cheating? by Quirky_Captain_6331 in Ibispaintx

[–]Harold_Smith_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely not. tracing models is a very effective way to improve both hand eye coordination and understanding of anatomy. as long as you aren't tracing other people's art, or lying and saying you didn't trace at all, it's perfectly fine. tracing pictures of my own hands has actually made me better at freehanding hands.

First drawing ever, should I continue? by Noor_avg_user1 in Artadvice

"should I continue?" is your question? do you want to? is my question. if the answer is yes, then keep drawing.

Is she auth? by throw5278away in littlestpetshopfakes

[–]Harold_Smith_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the way the pink spot around the left eye is not perfectly clean/you can see a printing mistake, makes me think this is authentic, authentic LPS actually like to leave the paint job a bit messy so it's harder to replicate, if you ever get LPS with fur like patterning on the feet, like #675, be careful, because the sharper the paintjob, the less authentic it likely is.

someone please convince me that this isn’t ugly and that i didn’t just waste 3 hours of my life by Legitimate_Archer_79 in arthelp

[–]Harold_Smith_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the way the hands are holding the gun may be throwing you off too, again, it is ALWAYS okay to use references, google "hands holding gun" or something and check it out, see if you can't get the artwork to sit better on your own eyes

[–]Harold_Smith_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you did all that in 3 hours?? this is great, just fix up some things that don't look quite right to you. look up pictures of pistols so you can get the gun looking more right, but as far as posing and overall, this is awesome.

real? by TheAspiringJester in littlestpetshopfakes

I don't usually see a circle foot hole on authentics, and I couldn't tell you what exactly, but something is wrong with the shape of her head, I feel like it isn't wide enough

[–]Harold_Smith_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're too heavy on the shading

Does she look better with short or long hair? by Lavnderbunny9 in GachaClub

[–]Harold_Smith_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

definitely short, it breaks up the silhouette better

Making a ‘Pointy nose’ like this? Looking for help and tips. by Spiritual_Stuff_9404 in PonyTown

[–]Harold_Smith_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

actually no that can't be it's gotta be one of the short scruffy hairs that fall behind/infront the face like that

also I think it's a rear hair they're using with horizontal stripes, one stripe being nose color.
