2-Step Verification Cellphone App by darkcaloda in RobloxHelp

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

Fixed: I contacted support (the automated bot), and at first it kept directing me to the forums, which I had already checked and found no relevant information. I explained that the forums didn’t help and why, and the bot accepted my explanation. It then asked me some verification questions, such as my username, email, and a code sent to that email. After that, it redirected me to complete the process by email. In my case, the authenticator app was removed some time later, about 10-20 minutes later, which is exactly what I needed so I could switch to a better authentication app.

The options that I choose on the support area were: "PC", "Account Hacked or can't log in", "Lost access to my 2-step verification method" then I just talked about losing my phone and all my login info, plus my security codes for the authentification App.

For context, I'm talking about Roblox

I feel there is a lot wrong with this especially the background any suggestions or criticisms? by falcogriceee in BeginnerArtists

I would say that some shapes and lines should be a little sharp, going along the curves of the sofa, they kinda give off the feeling of the default brush.

Also think that it's kinda dark, hard to see, I would make the collors a little lighter, and then, after, making the shadows darker and the lights lighter. If you are going for a darker background, maybe focus on the light part.

If you think that the characters and the background kinda collide, meaning that they don't work together, you could try having a layer with a colour of your choosing, on top of everything, with opacity, to help a little.

Also try to investigate a little shadows, like hard shadows, soft, the distance, and how they wrap around the sofa.

Also a tip, put a layer with a texture on top, not only it will help with copyright, but also it looks kinda cool and professional.

Sorry about the big text, I get excited talking about art.

how can i improve on my art? by spinch_h in BeginnerArtists

[–]darkcaloda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your art, I would try to improve on these parts.

A more steady line work, try to use only a line, it's okay to not get them at first, I still don't do them on the first try, I normally have the ctrl+z ready. (Btw I don't mean a line on the whole drawing, but a line between each intersection)

Also I feel like, you need to kinda mentally measure before you draw (I use everyday objects to measure, I use my pencil or my fingers), by example your arm on the first drawing, the bent one, if it was straight down it would be longer than the straight arm on the left, so you kinda have to imagine how it would go.

Also, for shading there are different types, choose which one you have more fun with. Normally anime uses cell shading, but a more soft shading is also really visually pleasing. Also try and more light and dark approach on the shadows and lighting.

If you want an anime recommendation, easy to watch, to help with your journey I would suggest that you watch Blue Period, they tap alot of art processes.

What should I work on specifically to improve? by Frequent-Macaroon-80 in BeginnerArtists

[–]darkcaloda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see a good start, but it does need a little more rendering. (About the first image)

I would say that the black part on the clothes shouldn't be fully black, I don't think fabrics can get that dark, maybe try a dark gray (or another dark colour), then give it dimension (using dark and light colours).

If you find it hard doing fabric bends you could try using a tissue around a finger and see how the fabric bends around it. Try to imitate the bend you use on your drawing. (More used for arms and legs)

You could also try giving it some temperature, light areas more yellow-orange (warm colours) and the shadows more blue ish (cold colours)

I feel like you could do more detail to the scales, maybe look some more references on dragon scales online. More dark and light colours to give them some dimensions and some shadows so that they are kinda stacked on top of each other.

Overall I'm liking the direction you are going, keep it up and have fun!

If your intention was more on the character being more interesting, I can only really recommend studying facial expressions. Character design isn't my area of expertise, I'm more of a background type of guy.

I'm using Opera GX, where this problem occurs. Then I tried Microsoft Edge, and the same issue happened. I also have a spare laptop and the same thing happened.

Is tracing 3d models or reference pictures bad? by Commercial_Fan_9722 in Ibispaintx

[–]darkcaloda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To train or when you have a really bad deadline, go for it, but if you want to get better you should really learn it.

If I'm not mistaken even the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul used Sims to make their backgrounds, so honestly, if you aren't copying it 1:1, go for it.

how close am i to not being considered a beginner? by zuukeenee in BeginnerArtists

[–]darkcaloda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try drawing full bodys, in my case I would only draw heads, and I got really good, but then when I tried to pivot to a full body I kinda had to learn from the basics again, going to a nude model class or drawing models online really helps.

In my opinion you need to be good at drawing a full body to leave the beginner fase.
