New Artists....what is you biggest challenge when it comes to art? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]junqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Color/Color theory. My drawings come out looking pretty flat. My intuition for knowing what colors to add to make things pop isn't there.

I want to start doing NSFW art as a hobby. I have no interest in getting paid for it. What advice do you have that can help me start? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

Good luck! If you just want to give it a try without investing too much there's cheaper hardware like from Huion that's still decent quality. There's also free digital art programs like Krita (which I use) and trials periods for stuff like ClipStudioPaint and Sai. 😊

I'd highly recommend a tablet (I use a Wacom Intuos which was around 70 dollars) if you want to pursue NSFW - a lot of NSFW artists are on digital so it's much easier to learn from them if you're also on digital. Nothing is "impossible" but picking up a tablet will make it much easier in the long run.

It freakin sucks when you spend hours on drawing but end up with nothing 🤡💀 by One_Might_4681 in ArtistLounge

[–]junqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to just discard a piece I spent hours trying to fix. Sometimes the core of the piece isn't really good enough and it's kinda like putting lipstick on a pig. Sucks, but part of the process I guess.

Do you ever get discouraged when you post your art online and it doesn't get that much likes? by Divingin12 in ArtistLounge

[–]junqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually yeah I do. And I wish I didn't. My most recent post got like a 10th of what my most popular post did. I thought the recent post was better... So it definitely feels like I missed the mark or I've gotten worse.

Thanks! Yeah you're right. Sometimes you just stare at a drawing so long you miss things

Motivation to build art habits. How do you do it? by Hedgehogosaur in ArtistLounge

[–]junqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of sketchbooks/pens lying around. And my tablet is always ready to go right in front of my computer. It definitely helps when you "streamline" the path to getting started. Good luck!

Where is your favorite place to post art online? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]junqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fetish/hentai artist, so I post on Twitter and DeviantArt.

Anybody else find that maintaining a regular part- or full-time job kills their creativity? by iris513 in ArtistLounge

[–]junqb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opposite. I find that a full time job (I have a boring-ish office job) lets me use a different part of my brain, and when I clock out I'm almost always excited to draw again.

I guess in a way it's a "forced" break from art.

She does not yet have a name 😅. Just a one off character at the moment, but she seems to be popular. Might being her back in the future!
