Cotltober Day 3: Fire

[greenink]

First day of @stychu-stych Cotltober! Decided to just make a little doodle for the day and messed with Blender for the background. Definitely wanna try for a more complex scene in Blender sometime this month

[stychu-stych]

It's my pleasure to show you my cotltober prompt list for this year!🔔

Rules are the same as last year - you can do whatever you want, just be creative, draw, write, sculpt, sing a song, do a cosplay, make a photo, do whatever creative thing comes to your mind (no ai of course, respect yourself)

Easy, medium and hard levels are just a suggestion, you can do as many prompts as you want and remember it's all about having fun, no pressure

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

This is my attempt as a sort of recreation of Designical’s art, since I couldn’t get the original to use as a wallpaper. Definitely check out his Instagram, they have made so many amazing illustrations!

For anyone wanting to start doing comics, do you have any tips?

Yes!

1) Read comics. 

Read MANY, MANY, MANY comics. You cannot drive a car without fuel in the tank. You cannot draw comics without having read many different comics.

Read comics and ask yourself what you like about them. Ask yourself how the panels help you read it easier. Ask yourself how the speech bubbles are organized. Read to understand, to analyze, instead of just reading. 

2) Think smaller. 

I see SO many people who go from ‘I want to make comics’ to ‘I’m gonna draw a 300 page long epic with 300 characters, an incredibly complex plot, backstory and an in-universe conlang!’ Those stories fail, 99% of the time. 

When you start doing comics, you start small. 

Draw a three-panel comic before drawing ten panel comics. Draw a ten panel comic before drawing 5 page comics. Draw a 5 page comic before drawing 10 page comics. Draw a 10 page comic before drawing 30 page comics. 

Don’t be afraid about time - ‘but if I don’t get it out in time, it’ll disappear!’

No it won’t. Your story will never go away - it will just evolve and get better as your own skill evolves.

3) Be kind. 

To yourself, to your readers, to other comic artists. 

The people who love to critique comics (and any art form) the most are people who have never made a decent comic themselves. Everything is ‘easier said than done’. 

Be gentle on yourself and don’t expect success at every turn. You will make more terrible comics than you will make mediocre comics. You will make more mediocre comics than you will make good comics. You will make good comics only if you’ve made terrible and mediocre comics first. 

If you want to check it out, I’m working on a ‘how-to-comic’ guide in my spare time. It’s not complete, but you can read what I have thus far.

Still one of my favorite moments in ATLA!
