Project funded or monthly donations?

Which would you choose or have you done? I've done kickstarter twice for comics and don't think I can go for the monthly pledge route because I don't have a big enough following

yeah he's awesome, but followers isn't the whole picture. the second project was 90% funded 24 hours before the countdown, and shot up to 108% at the last hour because that shit gets hyped on the front page.

That is why I personally would take the kickstarter route over patreon because I can't be bothered with social media crap

>>3230512
have you tried to submit the comic at various publishers before trying the kickstarter route?

>>3230550

yeah but didn't fall through, once publishers see interest from people you gain a lot more credit

Considering patreon has been full of controversy lately, Kickstarter seems more reliable

It's a neo-nazi site with hate in its title, which means they think of porn as the ultimate degeneracy and it'll stigmatize your name just to use their platform.

I'm not signing them off completely, but if you wanna do an alternative to Patreon, why not fucking do it right.

You're right, but you have to remember that Loomis is a cross section between advice AND a meme. Loomis is a bit dated, but he does talk about a broad range of subjects in a relatively comprehensive way that even many modern authors and instructors don't. In either case though, when people here say "Loomis" they're only being partially literal

Maybe we could make a way for people to self-crit, like a section in the sticky where there would be drawing with common errors and their crits.
>example
(my apologies to the author)
Pic related demonstrates errors common to almost every /beg/ poster - work from big to small, line>shape>form>anatomy rather than anatomy from the start.

If we have this section and link to it often, people will feel embarassed as it proves they didn't read the sticky in the first place.
More people read the sticky, less shit in the generals, amirite?

For the life of me, when it comes to flat angles, whether it be attempting to draw a face, or anything, everything looks extremely flat, and this is especially true with cube-ish shapes. I see a ton of people able to do with little to no shading, which is what I am working towards right now along with shading, but I just can't seem to do it with certain angles.

Is there any tips/tricks you guys can possibly offer?

Even with 3/4 angles of the face, or flat, drawing the features just doesn't seem to happen. Everything looks flat as shit.

Once you pratice more on dynamic poses and compositions, getting out of your comfort zone. Also Ctrl+paint tutorials and Brushboost will help in the direction you're going.

Cannot find a definitive/reliable source for learning the Reilly method of constructing the head.

the main variation im talking about is that some people start with a circle as the base, some use ovals, some use the loomis method(circle and then chopping off the sides) and i dont know which one is the best way for constructing the head.

It's just breaking the face up into convenient rhythms in perspective that just happen to make planes instead of doing quarters and thirds and carving shit out like you're drawing a car. You draw a couple circles instead of fucking with balls and chistling out brow lines. Just draw a damn face.

Using the pen tool in Photoshop, its not saving the path when saving the files. I was fucking around with it, getting some line work done and actually liking it. Saved it and closed it down. Opened it back up today and it was fucking blank. Like didn't do shit. Thought that I accidently deleted the path before I saved it or something but I did some quick lines, saved the file closed and opened it up and again, fucking path was gone.

Anyway around this? I like using the tool but I'd hate to have to do everything in one sitting.

I have an old wacom tablet that I've lost the stylus for, is there any way to order a new stylus and is it worth doing? It's only in the last year that I've had both the technology (old laptop could barely run Paint Tool Sai) and motivation to draw more, but the Wacom always had issues with drivers and pressure sensitivity. Should I just look at something new?

>just draw in real life
I get this, but I really find digital tools to be more user-friendly and ergonomic, especially for doing multiple thumbnails and layering work.
