    • Dealing with mental exhaustion while working.

      Hey guys! I’m new here, and this is my first post! I’ve been learning a lot, and have had a lot more time recently to work on art, as I am a teacher and it’s summertime! My practice time has gone up from about 5-10 hours a week to about 20-25 in the past few months, and even though I want to write comics and do art full time one day, I find myself getting mentally exhausted after only a few hours of drawing a day, even with the occasional break. I’m guessing this is natural, but what has y’all’s experience been with exhaustion? Does the endurance ever get significantly better, as I’m assuming it will? Any advice? Thanks guys! Glad to be here!

    • RE: Dealing with mental exhaustion while working.

      @carolinebautista Thanks! Perhaps I do need another planned break or two at the right time and just be patient with the endurance. And I love that book! It’s what convinced me I need more deep time to work on it.

      @NessIllustration That’s definitely good news then haha. I know I’ve got to build the endurance, but it just helps to hear from people further down the line that it gets better. Thanks!

      @Braxton Yeah, I normally do, but I’ll try to spend two hours on the same project, and that might be too much at a time. Thanks!

    • RE: Do I need to increase the contrast on this image?

      @Elisa-Miko-Price Thanks! Do you have any specific suggestions on how or where to enhance it? My first thought was to make the hair darker to differentiate it from the tree, but then it makes his face look really pale. Or does it need to be adjusted on all the tones?

    • Do I need to increase the contrast on this image?

      Hey guys! So I'm in the process of digitally editing my scanned drawings for an upcoming comic I am releasing. I'm currently attempting to define the finished style and also develop my digital art skills. This image isn't perfect, there are still some kinks to iron out, but my question is this: Do y'all think this needs more contrast or do you think it reads well enough as it is? I personally like this image as the style I'm going for, but I wanted some outside opinions (even though I'd like to already be settled on it haha). Thanks!

      @Jeremy-Ross Thanks! I may do a version two of this one and if I do I’ll share it with y’all.

    • RE: Any critiques?

      @gavpartridge That looks awesome!! Thank you!! I will study and apply all of that the next go round! My biggest issue was a general sense of the piece lacking depth (not spatial depth), and that helps a lot. The roofs as more than just planes is normally something I think about but I guess it just slipped this time... Thanks for everything!!

      @Jeremy-Ross I tried to buy it seemed like you could only attach files with links by using this “![alt text](image url)“

    • RE: Dealing with mental exhaustion while working.

      @ArtofAleksey Great idea! I do need to do more of that as well. And also, no kids yet, just a wife, a dog, and three kittens haha. The latter may be the main stressor haha. But that is helpful, and something I haven’t really considered here recently.
