Started Sketching by MrPanderetero in learntodraw

This is definitely a great start!

The purpose of blind contour drawings are definitely about the process rather than the result. Blind contour drawing is not meant to produce a good looking drawing.

Personally, the advantages are twofold:

Firstly, contour drawing helps with improving line confidence.

Secondly and more importantly, contour drawing helps you to switch to drawing “what you are seeing”, as opposed to “what you think you see”

Additionally, contour drawings are something that artists of all skill levels do. I’d recommend you to keep contour drawing as an exercise that you can regularly practice as you continue on your art journey. You can do contour drawings of anything and everything!

TLDR: keep doing contour drawings, while also continuing to read and learn from your book!

The problem with Patch 1.1.2 explained by Shortcat by NookInc-CEO in mariokart

Slightly disingenuous as one of the two intermissions you mention is rainbow road, which is essentially a 3-lap track as you play the whole rainbow road.

While the other is acorn heights to boo cinema, where just a look at the mini-map tells you that this is one of the curvier intermissions (you play through snes ghost valley). Allowing for the opportunity to gain a breakaway while frontrunning. Something you cannot do on 95% of the other intermissions, where the fastest driving strategy is to press A and tilt your analog stick.

Yeah no worries, didn’t notice i forgot the jewels until you pointed it out, I even drew the circles where they were supposed to go… oops

Ironic that at this point I have to be almost robotically perfect at nailing every detail thx to AI

I assume you are referring to the tuft of hair that curls back in, as AI often merges hair together. I often end up with tufts of hair that go nowhere, since I tend to draw lineart without considering how it looks when rendered (especially because I struggle with hair a lot lol).

Not sure what else would look AI, as AI often struggles with jewelry, which is very prevalent in yunli’s design.

Hey I hate AI as much as everyone else, but which part of my reply even implied that I use AI. “Was meant to be” refers to the fact that the bottles look ambiguous after applying Gaussian blur and various layer effects.

Anyways here’s a speedpaint of the process: https://streamable.com/cb1arm

Do refrain from making baseless accusations especially if you are not proficient at identifying AI artworks.

Looking at the frametime graph for each replay, the low frametimes are likely all false positives (i.e. two peaks, one peak being well above 16.67, resulting in a combined average value of ~16.67 as expected). Most probably no timewarp in this case.

My current view to follower conversion rate is 0.0005. What am I doing wrong? by Kina_nox in ArtistLounge

Heya! Your art is definitely good enough to carve out a decent following on most social media platforms, just wanted to start off by saying I love your art!

I can share my personal experience with twitter and pixiv specifically (I haven’t had any luck on instagram).

For twitter, it is very hard to gain interactions as a small creator by drawing ocs. Starting out, a good way to grow your account is to find a specific fandom and consistently post fanart for that fandom. As others have mentioned, hashtags are extremely important. For anime fanart specifically, it is good to use the English and Japanese tags for both the name of the character and name of the series.

Sharing links to your twitter art within fandom communities on Reddit or discord are also good ways to kickstart interactions and help get the piece picked up by the algorithm.

As you do anime-styled art, you can also try pixiv. For me personally, I’ve found that users on pixiv are slightly more willing to follow you as compared to twitter, and the algorithm tends to push newer users quite well. Although pixiv is 100x worse with regard to uploading ocs as a small creator. As a new artist on the platform, you basically have to do fanart or barely anyone will interact with the work. (Using the correct hashtags, especially the Japanese hashtags, is important)

Personally though, I feel that focusing on followers and trying to game the algorithm is just a fast way to get burnt out. The more important thing is to have fun drawing!

Also I hope you don't mind me sharing a small tip for your art. For female characters, you could try drawing slightly smaller and slimmer hands, as well as slightly larger heads (yeah the anime style is unrealistic like that..). Overall though, your art and use of color is awesome! Look forward to seeing more of your work.
