I'm in need of some banners, I'll repost those I got back from the old board
I was thinking about the Towergirls threads on 8/loomis/ and I feel like those were always a good way to get more people drawing, so I decided to make a little something up in the spirit of those.
This will be a personal challenge for me. I will draw every day for 100 days straight and post my progress here. I have failed myself time and time again by losing motivation or getting distracted and I am sick of it. I've reorganized my schedule and devoted two hours each day to drawing. If I miss even a single day, I want you to bully me (all three of you) mercilessly. Nothing short of death will stop be from finishing this.
Here I go.
HEY YOU
YES YOU
DRAW SOMETHING
NOW
Post your art related woes here.
REMEMBER! NEVER GIVE UP! WE BELIEVE IN YOU!

Do you use to make your art?
How do you feel right now?
Do you want to blow off some steam?
Does anyone have some quality resources for making 3D stuff? Also, general 3D art, I guess.
You might remember the thread I had on the old board. This thread is dedicated to studying comics, graphic stories, manga, etc. to learn the techniques and methods thereof.
Thread for sharing references of all kinds. Models, clothing, body parts, landscapes, animals, plants, spaceships, cars, boats, and everything in-between.
To start off I have a large collection of models from Croquis Cafe. Zip password is DontStopPracticing.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/q4ywebl614883x5/Croquis_Cafe_Models.zip/file
Also including a large collection of various other references. Most of these came from various stickies and other shares, but I am uploading them again for redundancy.

If you have something you want to share or preserve, share it here.
Questions that don't deserve their own thread - Sketches Edition.
Do you usually refine the figure (face, accessories, hair, drapes) when sketching or its easier to just putting a landmark then refine it later in lineart?
it seems ourobooru might be in trouble thanks to an abhuman over at cuckchan, we are already looking into solutions over at moe, just though id let you guys know
Hey guys, /icup/ here with a question on how we're going to handle the next iteration of the Infinity Cup ( https://anon.cafe/icup/ )
We're trying to poll whether certain boards are interested in playing in the cup, or if there's some specific team that you'd like to see play. If you want to, please answer or add your own answer to the poll in https://poal.me/6x3j1u
What is a good animation software that is similar to Microsoft Paint? I'm so used to drawing in MS Paint and none of any other pixel animation software I've found has features MS Paint has, like right-clicking in the middle of drawing to cancel that stroke being drawn.
Drawpile (https://drawpile.net/) is a collaborative drawing and visual shitposting software. Every Sunday at 10pm EST good /loomis/ boys and girls of all skill levels from across the internet come together for a one-of-a-kind artistic experience.

Drawings General
This is the place you wanna come to if you want to request drawings.
So... what made you get into drawing?
Ok, I hereby declare art war on 8kun.top/loomis.
(This is just an excuse to draw some characters and their equipement..)
We'll need to draft an army, in order to psychologically destroy their board.
We'll have four monthly themes, after which we should've assembled our army.
(It's monthly, because I'm not sure how productive you guys are. It should be fun and not stressful.)
During each month you can post your concepts and practice drawings related to the theme of the current month.
The themes will be:
- Armour
- Weapons
- War Face
- Soldier
The last month is when we explicitly create new soldiers for our army, using the knowledge we've acquired over the three prior months.
(When I say "soldier" I mean anything that could potentially fight for the honor of anon.cafe/loomis.)
In the end we'll make a compilation of all the created soldiers and display them as the anon.cafe army.
From then on, we can continue the thread, if people are participating in it.
In which infographics are posted. Some might work for you, some might not.
Post some art that inspires you. I've been looking at russian painters lately. It's nice.
Question, can some of you artfags help us out with concept arts for /robowaifu/ designs? Having some new ideas and fresh points of view helps get motivation flowing and spurs creativity in general. It doesn't have to be anything fancy either, just basic hand-drawn sketches like >>>/robowaifu/369 are plenty good enough. Most of us who were part of our community weren't too skilled at art and we could deffo use the help.
Is there anyone here?
What are some books that can complement Keys to Drawing, besides Drawing on the right side of the Brain?
