I has question, artfags.

I'm wanting to improve my ability to draw. I'm not that good, but like this thread is named, I'm better than J Grant and you can definitely make out what I'm drawing, even though it's just reduced to its simplest form without a lot of detail. I am good with angles, though.

Is there any reason to actually pick up art supplies for general sketching? Is there a purpose to sketch pads that I don't understand? I just have a shitload of grid paper that I plan to carry around and doodle with.

My end goal is to improve my art to be as realistic as I can, so I'm just going to keep doodling while waiting around for appointments and whatnot. Seems more productive than playing on a phone like everyone else does.

I essentially want to be able to draw what I see, be able to sketch out ideas and plans, and I want to pick up charcoal drawing because I've always been interested in that. I just want to improve in something I've always enjoyed doing, but never actually put any time into.

Tldr: art supplies, yay or nay? Should I stick with the #2 and grid/ruled paper?

Practice makes perfect, IMHO.

Are there any /k/ drawfags here who take requests? I want to get some guns drawn for a fallout campaign.

I'll do what I can, I know the SCAR in my image sucks but I was more focused on the woman's facial features.

File hosting again.

Goddamnit lapland. You've drawn three things for us and every one has been a hit.

Why the fuck won't you let us give you money for your fucking draws? Literally fucking years and we're still wanting more. Maybe one of your peers can replace you

>>33767
A combination of lack of motivation, short attention span, and most importantly, lack of a tablet prevents me from drawing right now. Pretty sure one of the draw-operators here would certainly like to take your requests and even produce you better art work.

>>33788
Pretty sure at this point we'd just buy you a goddamn tablet.

>>33821
Also your sketches look better so we'd still pay for those.

Man, it's been a while. Recent sketchbook stuff after rereading Princess of Mars.

When are you actually going to launch this comic?

Did some quick doodling in Paint after watching some cutscenes from WH40K games (Space Marine and Dawn of War). Note that I only recently started reading up on the universe and don't really have much of a clue yet, but here's an Ultramarine anyway. Color scheme and details taken from this one here, since it's a nice clean design: http://mavhn.deviantart.com/art/Ultramarine-120466821

This size would probably work decently in a game with 16x16px tiles, but with Games Workshop being Games Workshop, I'll probably leave it at some pixel art.

>>34006
Some more.

>>33989
thanks

>>34005
when it's done.

i actually just nuked the smackjeeves site for a reboot. there will be new a new page or two up in a couple of weeks.

>>34024
do u hab tumblr m80?

Some Italian WW1-era guns. The wooden-stocked Villar-Perosa was really difficult to draw (and is probably still wrong) since there's precisely two pictures of it on the internet, both from above.

>dat subgun doe

Holy shit, that looks like something from Fallout.

Picked up a Surface Pro 4 for drawing on the go and to replace my old Intuos 4. So far I'm pretty happy, but damn, I have not drawn in a hot minute.

nope
i gotta pixiv and thats about it

Something I sketched up pretty quickly.

When I found this dude's facebook profile, I had a mutual friend with him.

So I guess the question is which one of you guys is Florkofcows?

>>34306
What dude's profile, JGrant?

been on a bit of a milsurp rifle kick

>>34005
there are now three pages, and three character profiles on the smackjeeves site. better late than never i guess; i just want to get the comic rolling already after hyping it for all this time.

i can't really say it's officially launched yet until i complete the layout and keep my update rhythm down (there are two more pages in the works right now) but there is now finally material to speak of.

what's wrong with Audi?

>>34367
IHC hates everything VW.

>>34419
???

oh.

>>34367
Nothing, really.
At least not until you have to work on one, or buy parts, or drive it.
They're nice to look at though. Giugiaro had some great designs in the '70s.

dunno, man

Time for rounding up some sketches I've had lying around but hadn't bothered to scan.

My midterm for Drawing 2. It was a pain in the ass.

>>34496
i've always enjoyed your fictional gun designs.

>>34529
I love that SKS.
