Is RoughAnimator worth the five bucks? I'm still very lightly interested in animation and am in a bit of a chicken and the egg situation. Where buying/learning programs is too much of a bother until I get more interested, but I won't know until I start, etc.

Adding that Procreate is a pretty good mobile drawing app, and CSP is mobile now too, with Photoshop coming soon. (iOS though, unsure with Android.)

>I disabled it entirely after your post.

Did you go with a self-hosted solution, or are forgoing analytics entirely for the time being?

I don't know about your hosting setup, but if it's a VPS and can read the access log, it'd be pretty trivial to parse said log to spit out the number of requests. You don't even need to set up a redirect or use some asynchronous javascript bloat now that you're hosting the file yourself.

Pretty sure nginx keeps access logs by default. Not sure if there's any rotation involved, though, that is, if old logs get rewritten, put into separate files or if you just have one monolithic beast. You likely won't be seeing enough traffic to cause a storage issue, so that's something.

If he's not really the kind of guy to do any favors and all you want are total download numbers in the absolute bare-bones bottom-of-the-barrel minimal-effort automated solution, maybe a daily cronjob that automatically updates a web-accessible text file produced by grepping the access logs, looking for a count of lines with BlackFogZine01.pdf in them. Would be a few minutes of effort tops, if even that.

If not, or if there's the slightest chance you might want even slightly more in the not-too-distant future, just ask him up front what you'd like and what he'd be willing to do.

Also, probably not a good idea to have page errors report anything about the backend. Seeing both the platform and version number makes it very convenient for both people and bots to abuse known exploits, should he forget to update. I don't think nginx 1.10.3 has any arbitrary code execution bugs, but you never know when things get left unmaintained for a while.

What is it about traditional that makes it so much more appealing to me than digital art? That's not to say digital is bad, but when you compare similar art from both mediums, there's something uncanny about digital art. Like it's too clean, or the colors are never quite right. There's something I just can't put my finger on.

Digital pens or mice don't translate well, drawing traditionally gives you more control and articulation than electronically. Digital colors are also popless and depthless.

Use a stablizer. Weighted in Krita helped me. The one that gives a circle and the line doesnt start until you reach the edge (you can adjust sizes, etc). I found that the easiest way to keep straight lines (or curved/non-wobbly) and keep on track. Try to make faster strokes, too. Just map undo to the pen and keep going til you get the right curve you wanted. I liked taking line art and inking over top of it for practice on making the lines. You can do some basic straight line, figure eights and other curves as warmups if you want, but taking a brush and inking for weight practice and various curves helped me adjust the quickest.

It makes a good argument about using vectors, but is there any program where you can draw freehand and it translated that into vectors?

I work as a caricaturist at a theme park. If I have to choose I go egg shape but sometimes we don't even start with the outer shape and start from the facial features and build outward. REALLY fucking strange process but when you get used to it oddly enough it makes drawing normally again so much less work.

Nothing of both. Especially when you're a beginner. Don't ever think in circles or egg-ish shapes. Build forms like spheres! The head is no circle. Even if you start to draw or paint the head, construct a sphere, not what you think, where the central line, ear line etc. could be.

For me the best method is the one I learned from Sinix. (Just search on Youtube) This way you draw or paint a bent piece of paper, wrapped around the head

Someone in /a/ was struggling to fit a reference image onto their screen because the resolution was so small, so I thought it would be cool if you could put an image onto the screen somehow.

And then I decided to procrastinate on drawing by making this little program instead. Webm is more or less self explanatory.

Download is here: https://tsun.itch.io/reference-image-window

Windows only because there's a lot of things I have to do manually with the operating system's functions and I can't bother to learn it all in Linux.

Let me know if you have problems/crashes. Or delete this thread if it's not appropriate here, I guess.

A tip:

if you're drawing something and you know for sure something is wrong with it.

Redraw the whole thing from scratch.

Don't polish that turd.

It will not only give you mileage but also confidence since if you do this often enough you will be cool with non attachment to your practice stuff.

You'll be grinding out thousands of drawings over your time as an artist.

That potato of just now will be dust in the wind in a month or two.

I've kept this one locked away, please critique so I can snap out of it, finish, scrap, radically change it maybe. Just sick of brooding on it

First time drawing in three years. Cat skull that my mom had laying around her house. She's a crazy cat lady, all of her cats are inbred and deformed. They don't last long. Drawn with mechanical pencil.

I started to notice that a lot of artists are left handed. To the point where most of the video tutorials I have saved on my hard drive, most of the time it's a lefty artist.

Is there a correlation between left handed people and drawing ability?

there's a much larger link between artfaggotry and actual degeneracy, and I wouldn't advocate that anyone start acting like a degenerate on the offchance it improves their art

What if you spent a day or two learning about how different parts of a car work? What makes the engine work, what's the purpose of all the different parts, how to do maintenance on it, etc. It would only take a few days to get a rough picture, but you could use that knowledge to draw and design all kinds of mechanical things from there on out. If you know how it works, it's much easier to draw it and things related to it than just trying to judge it by the way you remember it looking, and if you want something similar in your design you know roughly how to make one.

The same can be applied for all kinds of things like clothing and architecture and furniture (e.g. studying why it has the shape and parts that it has and why something looks a certain way). A car specifically has a lot of different variety of parts and many of them are very generic and applicable to common things.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this. Would there be interest in a thread where we take subjects and then explore together about how they work and what caused them to have the shape/design they have, and maybe draw them? Any ideas how to look for or where you could learn about these kinds of things without having to read a whole book about it?

How true.

I like to do this sometimes when I draw a shitpost. It adds something more for specialists in the related field. It can range from making a pun in another language to learning about the anatomy of particular organisms to make sure a joke about them getting frisky holds.

Videos, maybe?

For a more concrete example, you can find youtube channels that explain engineering concepts in a few minutes, like Practical Engineering:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZINeaDjisY

The "How it's Made" series might provide some insight into how things work as well, even though it's not their main purpose, if only because you get to see the separate parts of a device being assembled.

Nice channels, I didn't think of video content as an option for some reason.

On another note, just now by chance I discovered an interesting word: diagram. It seems you can search for almost anything with the word "diagram" and get neat pictures that show the structure of things. They don't explain what things do or how they work though, but might be useful as supplemental information.

I'm noticing it's hard to differentiate between things that are just for looks, and things that have a practical purpose. I think what you want is information about the function so you can apply it to your own design.

cutaway and exploded view are two terms you'll want to remember.

Cool thread, bro. It always bothers me when an artist can draw and stylize people / organic so well, but can't draw mechanical at all or copy directly from reference without bringing it into the style of the work.
