There are no stars in the sky today
And I do hope for someone else
There are twice as many stars
Shining upon the puddle theyre looking at

Drag the corpse a little longer darling.
Trees will dance and cool you down.
The grass will grow no more. 
The fruits will stay ripe for longer.
Your bones wont be sore.

Thanks! Oh, I see you're right, Anon. Looks like the question engendered a technical discussion there that effectively sidestepped the basic issue: can we migrate /loomis/ automatically here?

The answer is yes. The Trashmin has a migration pipeline already in place.

@BO
If you're here, can you please say so with a BO capcode? The rest of us want to know that /loomis/ will be safe.
Please don't wait long.
Stuff happens...

:D

>>1726
>>1727
Sorry, I should've mentioned it here as well. My initial understanding was that the migration would have to be done by us somehow, when in reality admin does it all for you.
Yes, I plan to put in a formal migration request soon(tm), I've just been very busy lately. Even though this board may be dead, migrating it to a different site may give it a boost, and either way it's still an important archive for the few artists and aspiring artists that want to learn.

Excellent! I expect it will be seen with favor by the Trashmin. /loomis/ has always been a pretty chill, drama-free board and that's what everyone on trash wants there. I'd suggest you put a request in soon, BO. He himself is getting adjusted to having a bigger workload on his plate there, and as you mentioned, anons can be very busy! 
> pic-related

This board is an invaluable resource to the Internets IMO. I believe in it enough that I would have claimed it myself just to preserve it on trashchan if you had gone missing! That's not true of many boards, so thanks for maintaining such a good one for everyone here, Anon! Cheers.  :)

Is there anything like quickposes but for hair/head? 
They do have a face practice but the selection is really bad.

R/drawme's slideshow should be enough to itch your scratch

it itches. like its not enough like its actually ugly... like, its alrrady simplified, and then you...are allergic without being sure about what exactly.

annoying.

> I'm having doubts about what I'm doing to learn and most of what I've been doing is copying artists
I know this is kind of hard skill for begs to develop but a lot of what benefited you to draw better comes from observational skill, not just copying. A good exercise for you is to look at your favorite figure art on computer window, and then than close that window afterwards. Next, draw what you've seen but do it with slightly different pose or angel. After all that finished, look back again on your favorite figure drawing and compare it on your drawing, Analize all the errors that you think in your drawing looks bad. Fix your drawing if you can, but if you fail to do the fix, It's Ok. Move on to another figure drawing. Repeat this process until you call it the day.

Hello frens.

I found this tutorial to be quite helpful to me, though i am only learning drawing to add to my journaling.

Thanks, Anon! Good luck with your learning.  :)

>amd is still nowhere near as good as nvidia with cuda
Yea that really sucks.
Still going with amd in my future new build though. Nvidia is overpriced.

>>1968
>Nvidia is overpriced.
In what world? I got an "equivalent" Nvidia card to replace my AMD card and it runs better, cooler, and quieter (and isn't as big and heavy) for only about $30 more than the current going price of AMD, all at the cost of having a slightly less streamlined and more hands-on initial setup experience in Linux.

>>1969
I honestly have not used my GPU for any new games. It's a 5700 XT (roughly equivalent to a 2070) and I only use it for my three monitors, gamedevving (in 2D), and maybe running Blender once a year. Otherwise it's all for old games that run without issue.
I also think raytracing is a buzzword and not worth buying a behemoth of a card for.

Got some cool blender resources for you guys.

This playlist is an absolutely-amazing resource on character creation.

>it felt like cheating
Three years repsonse, but still, I get what you mean, It's okay to use premades and auto-rigs. The biggest illusion of 3D modelling and animating is "that it's easier and faster than 2D,". It's not, it's just as hard. Some things are easier, but other are harder, and using assets and libraries is not cheating.

Thanks, Anon! Cheers.  :)

>>2070
Focus more on individual anatomy and how to draw certain body parts, especially facial features and hair patterns. Try to avoid shading or coloring until you have the underlying construction. A lot of your lines also look very scratchy, make them smoother and more precise.
Good start though.

>>2072
>focus on anatomy 

yeah she looks kinda like a lego figure

>scratchy

Cant do much bout that. Hard limit on my pens, they can only write like a 2cm before fading out. Maybe that goes in my shopping list

>try not to shade

(but i didnt) =3=

Thank you anon much appreciated!

>>2074
in that case you might want to pick up pencils instead just so you can get rid of mistakes

>>2075
Oh i get it. The "shading" you see Are pencils. I just use pens cause my camera is color blind and i have to change values and whatnot to make it sharper.

I still use pencils i just overlay with a cheapo pen

yes there is some thing wrong with her. 

I tried to make a like a more realistic and believable courier for new vegas. But some thing is obviously lacking.

(i hate the game so much but i love the story. I would much rather have it as a book)
