823dde No.288[Last 50 Posts]
A thread for posting everydays. Anyone who would like to join me is free to.
See >>286 for info on the everydays.
Some rules I want to establish for myself. I'll keep these rules for myself for a month, and in that month I'll be focusing on just making illustrations, solving problems in painting/drawing, and gaining some mileage in starting pictures:
-Deadline for the 'everyday' at midnight.
-Do everything I need to do before it.
-Try to make illustrations that are interesting to me
-Consult reference if necessary to get the painting to a desired level

Maybe you can do a post explaining the concept of this a bit more clearly? I'm a little confused about it, and don't want to sit through a nearly hour long video to find out about it. Is it just setting a daily goal? I kinda have been doing that already recently, maybe I can post my stuff here too then (it's sketchbook stuff though so is a pain to photograph each day…).
>>289
Neat, it's got some interesting design things and draws me in, even though I'm not entirely sure what the full backstory is. I like the design and sort of world it starts to set up though. But I would focus on keeping the lighting as consistent as possible in the future as you have some conflicting information, especially with the post on the right. The specular highlight on the sphere is also misplaced. Since you are using only simply forms here you should have no issues spending the time to get it all right since it is easier to spot discrepancies. Just keep your light source consistent–where is it coming from? how strong is it? what temperature is it? is it very direct or ambient or something in between? etc.

Sure, I'll write a post on it. I'm the same anon, in case anyone is not sure.
You can read this interview that was given to the people who started the whole thing, too. http://www.theatlantic.com/video/archive/2011/10/creativity-is-hustle-make-something-every-day/246377/#slide15
Anyways, the basic concept is to finish(but not necessarily the 'finished' quality of being rendered fully) a new picture everyday. But there's a goal attached to it; what are you trying to gain/learn from making these pictures?
Unless you've been making pictures, then drawing in a sketchbook doesn't really apply. Illustrations, concepts/designs, 3d models, etc. applies more to the concept of 'everydays.'
Once you know what kind of pictures you want to make, refine the goal you want to strive for with the pictures, like I did in the OP. It's up to you what you decide to do, but it's important to establish what you want to accomplish, and a start/end date for how long you want to work on these goals.
The next step is to make sure you can do your everyday in 15 minutes if you absolutely have to(don't make your goals too ambitious), and that it's easily quantifiable. Preferably, you will spend as much time as you have comfortably to work on your everyday. So if I can, I can start my painting at 9PM, and paint a picture for 3 hours. If I have to start later, then I spend less on it. So the projects are dynamic in this aspect.
I also want to point out that it's also possible to work on a bigger project for your everydays, but you need to establish something quantifiable that you can deliver each day. For example, you're designing a set of characters. You can make each everyday one different character, and at the end of the set, you'll have a bigger project done.
So, to expand on that, I think it's important to know what you're trying to deliver with your everydays. If you recognize you're doing something too ambitious, ask if there's any possible way you can break the project/part apart. Like, if you're painting a complicated landscape; maybe you have a few characters in the front, a car in the mid ground, and then the background. If you can make each different part it's own everyday, you can still do the project… But if you can't separate an ambitious picture into distinct parts like this, it's probably not a good idea to attempt assigning an everyday to completing certain parts of the picture, and just move on the next day (or complete the project for its own sake, not as an everyday).
Some benefits that should come about from it:
-Can help momentum going on bigger projects. I suppose that the creativity and the own momentum you gain from the everydays will push you in other areas of your craft.
-Real world feedback; even if you think you failed at something, you still need to put it out.
-Become better at releasing work
For you, since you already speedpaint and make pictures frequently, you can probably think about this as a much more specific, goal-driven habit, as well as being a habit that you're highly motivated to do it(and not miss out on it, cuz then you'll like a douche after saying you'd do an everyday e v e r y d a y).
I also want to point out, that if you start doing everydays, you should also post them onto your artblog(if you have one).

also, thank you for the advice on the lighting. I did some research and learned about placing specular highlights and influences of light sources. Maybe I'll paint something soon that uses basic forms more. And hopefully in this one the lighting seems more consistent. ~2h on this one

To go more in-depth on my process for this one, I started messing around with smudging shapes in photoshop. I find it's really easy to build up form quickly so it's quite nice. Then I drew thumbnails on top of my initial messing around until I got this one(it helps to build the thumbnails around some of the random shapes already drawn from before). I then cropped my file onto the thumbnail I liked.
I started painting from imagination, maybe 10 minutes, then I went out to search for some reference. Found this image, thought it was pretty cool, and basically went the whole way with it, not trying to copy the photo or anything, but taking some inspiration from some of the lighting and shapes.

Thanks! I forgot to make a time limit for this project. Instead of "eventually" gaining the habit of sketching, I will create it in a month.
Apparently, like the 10,000 "rule", there isn't really a set amount of time to get gud or in the habit of drawing. The only constant is that repetition enforces habit, there rest depend on variables such as complexity and desire.

Tried it as a warm up, Min yum has a better grasp of form and gesture than I do. The way he conveys overlap and movement with that line economy is pretty impressive.

Glad you like it!
On your drawings(on left), you should make an effort to draw long, solid lines. Don't feather or do the chicken scratch way. You must not be confident in that way of drawing, but it's important to slow down for Vilppu's method, and draw clear rhythmic lines.
Vilppu's book is really good, keep going with it and you should become better with drawing form over time from practicing the upcoming chapters.
Also, are you going to participate in this everyday thread? If you do, look at some of the guidelines and make a goal and list of rules for yourself.

One thing I learned from stylization is caricature. The way you presented the nose as the focal point, but give the eyes/mouth equal prominence makes him look weird. It's just a guy with a huge nose. I would scale back his other features and design a head around the nose, instead of just slapping one on.

These are looking pretty good as usual. And they're from comics too? Nice, sounds like it's a good way to push your knowledge.
>>419
Maybe try gestures with pencils? You might go crazy with them, but it helps to be able to draw the centers of forms and general direction, rather than contours of forms. You will also have more control over the darkness of lines so you can go darker to show weight and action.

You linked an interview with a dude who started this.
I found his page. Pic related are his results of "learning" how to draw.
I hate being the one to discourage you guys, but you won't improve nearly as much from this as you would have from, you know, actually studying.
I guess it's a nice and simple (although not easy) way of gaining momentum, making a habit of working everyday and overcoming fear of releasing work… But if you want to learn, then it looks like a waste of time.
You don't have any examples of people who quickly improved thanks to this method, do you?

IMO, Beeple just sucked at drawing and didn't know what he was doing.
>You don't have any examples of people who quickly improved thanks to this method, do you?
Nobody has really done it before, concept art/illustration- wise. Afaik myself and sundry are the only ones doing it, and we're both intermediate artists.
Everydays can actually be very powerful learning tools, imo, especially for people who are already on the road to learning fundamentals and skills. What I learn elsewhere, I practice and repeat it here.
I would say nobody will improve 'because' of this method(we have evidence already, Beeple failed to!). If they were to improve, it would be due to the quality of their effort/learning/thinking, and because they had potential abilities they didn't realize they had before. It is obvious to me that Beeple had practically zero of these characteristics in his learning.

>you won't improve nearly as much from this as you would have from, you know, actually studying.
What do you think that entails though? what's the difference between making work and trying to improve on it on a daily basis, and "studying"? At least the former is productive, and the latter is useless without putting it into practice.
Honestly, studying seems like a "safe" way to avoid making work. It's playing at productivity. Yeah, you'll make bad work in the short term, but if you thinking critically about what needs improvement, you get better anyway while at the same time prepare for what you actually want to do.
>You don't have any examples of people who quickly improved thanks to this method, do you?
I don't think anyone claimed this was some easy fix. I do think that making work every day is an important part of proficiency, simply because you need that drive anyway to slog through the awkward years and beyond.
Studying is fine, but only in conjunction with producing art, and never before. Waiting until you get good while studying is just a form of procrastination, I think.

It's okay to have those feelings, I think. Feeling and seeing in-competencies in ourselves is part of growing. Remember, however, that there are no barriers to the wide possibility of thoughts that can come to us.

I had to post in a rush because I had to go out. Turns out I still got back before the deadline, though I already done the deal.
I like your animation though, pretty neat on the explosion on the bottom.
Anyways, to answer your question, I feel it's easier to go into what I'm doing and get started. Like if I'm doing something at around 10, I know I need to stop and get started, otherwise my everyday is gonna be super shet. It's become pretty easy to do this, no matter what the circumstance is.
You come into life situations where you think you 'can't make art, but it's not really true ever. It helps to post online where family can see, if family were to ever get in the way.
You learn/practice processes and brushes, you make decisions about how you want to make your pictures. You learn to deal with the 'shit phase' of an image. Basically, it takes time to draw/paint an image that works to some degree, and until you get there, your image is bad.
And sometimes you do above or below your average with the picture you make. It's very similar to something my father(car salesman) said about selling cars. If you do your job right, you still have a certain closing percentage(how many people you see vs how many people you manage to sell a car too). He says he focuses on just meeting more people, rather than trying so hard to sell to one person(which other salesman will do). He also feels less excited when he sells a car, because he knows it would happen based on probability.
For us, it's more like we're lacking something in our thought process or skillbase that makes a sketch below-average. Maybe the idea just sucked.
So when we start a project or picture, it's a hindrance to expect for yourself to hit it off. Just how it's a hindrance for a salesman to think, "THIS time, I'll sell a car." It's just unnecessary pressure. Do your craft the best way you can, explore(if you want), and practice concepts you're learning. If you make something good, great! If you do something mediocre, move on, and try to learn from your mistakes if you can see them. No matter what, there's always a probability that you will fail (relatively), even if you did your absolute best.
Another thing is, after doing this, I've relieved a lot of stress of keeping up a 'self-image' of skill. It hurts less to upload images I'm not quite happy with. If you upload everything, instead of only the best work, it's no longer a mystery where you stand skill-wise, for both you and your audience. When you have finally gotten somewhere, the audience will notice it. Though, sometimes I feel my facebook friends are tired of seeing these everydays, but in the end, one image a day can only annoy someone so much.
There is still a lot of stuff I need to learn. One of my goals now is good traditional drawing. Good drawing, good composition sense, good visual knowledge of subjects, and visual library, is what I believe (theoretically) to be the foundation for ideas and starting pictures. The more in control you want to be of the process for illustration or concept art, the better your skills have to be, and the more in-depth your knowledge of the world and the craft has to be. Until then, I feel like I'm bound to be a fish floundering around on dry land. And maybe it will always feel like this, who knows.

Agreed. That's an interesting animation. I don't have anything to critique for it really, though one of the ears is missing on the final frame when it should appear, no?

No, but usually the imperfections in volumes and such are beneficial for the aesthetic of 2d animation, so when you can, draw them.

Yeah starting with a black then just painting white on top. I usually take forever on my paintings so I wanted to use these dailies as a way to practice something that would be reletivley fast to do. Same reason sticking with horror themes, can kinda hide everything in darkness and it still kinda looks finished. Still takes me like 2-5 hrs but been pretty fun so far.
