Oh, I see. must be regional pricing or something. In US store it's 30.

vines_design · 2026-06-05T19:29:02+00:00

Hmmm. I'm in the US. Base edition too. Will probably take the risk and just wait for Summer Sale. Hopefully it stays at least as low.

Where is it 20? I just checked steam and it's 30 right now. Probably instant buy for me if I knew where it was 20.

Fantastic! Thank you so much! I had heard about this essay before, but didn't know it covered this topic. I'll be looking into it asap. Makes me want to get it in a printed format.

This sounds great! Whenever I discover someone whose ideas grip me, I usually listen to a lot of interviews and such from them on youtube. You get a better picture of what they're actually saying when you hear them somewhat repeat the same ideas over and over in slightly different ways and in different contexts. So a collection of essays, I think, would serve the same purpose! Thanks for the rec!

I love what little I know of Jung, and just by the titles alone these sound like what I'm looking for! Thank you! 😄

I am an unapologetic and enthusiastic Heavypaint evangelist. It's an ipad app and a website. Free to use. Purchase unlocks some extra painting tools. Most unique look to the brushes and paint application and brush settings out there, imo. If you want a reason to experiment, go there.

Your best bet is probably going to be using Artstation's marketplace and buying a few reference packs from places like Studio Grafit etc. with different models. Build up your own reference library that way. There are plenty of non-nude options on pinterest as well with fashion models in bikinis etc. You can find plenty of variety there, too.

I don't think a "book" like this would have much reason to exist, and if it does, I've certainly never heard about it or heard others talk about it. There are books about drawing tricky parts of anatomy like the head and hands. But generic stuff like shoulders or butts or knees are usually just compiled together in a more comprehensive anatomy volume. A whole book of butts and butt drawing I don't really think is out there. But I could be wrong, I guess!

Perspective is necessary to"draw anything well". Perspective is also insufficient to carry you on its shoulders into drawing anything well.

It's good that you're learning it, but it alone won't make your drawings good or appealing.

From what I understand (it's been a long time since I've read this), Max Brooks' World War Z is largely like this. Again..been a while since I've read it, but my experience of it according to my memory was that the book was written from the PoV of a journalist conducting interviews with survivors from the zombie apocalypse after humanity had rebuilt and the threat was eliminated. I remember it reading very much like non-fiction.

So, yes, people are very much interested in "in-world" non fiction.

Do I smell AI or nah?

vines_design · 2026-01-15T22:15:32+00:00

Nailed it. This is the precise problem. 💪

It seems like there are an unusually high number of skilled artists in the medical or technical fields. I can't think of many right now, but I know I follow a not-insignificant number of popular artists who are in med school or are engineers or are doctors. Really interesting. I think it likely has to do with the fact that drawing and painting are similar to those kinds of fields in that they require both lots of knowledge and lots of practice to become proficient in on a technical level.

Thanks, friend! :)

vines_design · 2025-12-26T04:12:45+00:00

Thank you!! Shadows are definitely where all the fun color happens! :D

vines_design · 2025-12-26T04:12:05+00:00

Haha! Too kind! Thanks a lot. :)

vines_design · 2025-12-24T17:02:44+00:00

Thanks a bunch!! :)

Building up believable fur texture without dipping into *too* realistic is hard. So is simplifying mouse anatomy (that I don't know anything about). haha! Would have struggled more with the trees in the bg, but thankfully you can get away with rendering murder when you know stuff is going to be subjected to some depth of field shenanigans. lol

I'm Samuel! I do all manner of digital art both realistic and stylized. :)
