There's alot of art programs out there, so I'm just wondering about what everyone uses and their opinions on them?
Every art program is different and some are specialised to do some things, so it's hard to say of one is decisivley the best.

Anyway this is my art program list.

1. Black Ink
http://blackink.bleank.com/
Black Ink is probably the thing I've used for most of my digital art. It focuses on abstract art, so if you're after making figures or specifics, it isnt the best (although it still can do it if it has to). This is the only thing I've spent money on, and it cost me 50 NZD through Steam. If you are willing to spend money I'd recommend it. Some art programs that cost money can get quite steep, so $50 isn't a bad deal I think.

2. GIMP
https://www.gimp.org/
I absoloutley recommend this even if you're not an artist, just having something to edit images in is extremely useful to have. It's open source and a community project, so it's free to download. It's saved my life so many times and everyone should get it, no exceptions. It has most of the functionality of Photshop, but Adobe programs can start at the hundreds of dollars for standard.

3. Design Doll
http://terawell.net/terawell/?lang=en
This I haven't used as much but it makes 3d models that you can use to trace on other programs if you're  a figure artist. I found a link to this when I was browsing an *ahem* adult artist. From what I've tested it works well and the figures are good, but I find the figures hard to pose naturally. This is probably just a practice thing. The full package I costs $79 (USD I think) but they offer the main program for free. You'll only miss out on downloading some premade models and exporting to other programs.

4. Krita
https://krita.org/en/
I'll be honest I've never even used this since I downloaded it, I haven't needed it for anything. But it's a good program for digital painting. I've heard something about it being used almost exclusively by porn artists, but have you sen some of their art??It's fricking amazing. This program is free too. The website has a sop you can download things from, but I think it's mostly tutorial videos to get the most out of the program

I use a Wacom Intuos to draw. I bought the lowest end model I could, just because I don't really have the money for something better (My dream is to get a Cintiq someday....). This came with 2 art programs, but I never used them because they really werent great by any measure.

Anyone else having issues with beds. Even with one person joining me the bed says it is full.

Current Assignment: Learn to Draw #02 - Simplifying Objects + Learning to See (coming in a bit!)


This subforum is blessed to have some very talented artists. Now some of you may know that I've written music in the past and posted some poetry in the Creative Writing forum. What you might not know is that I can also draw. There's one very good reason for this:

I'm not particularly good at it. My sister got the drawing talent; I got the music talent.

But that doesn't mean I can't learn! And you can learn with me! So I'd like to lead all of you fellow novice artists through a series of videos on YouTube from Brandon Schaefer entitled "Learn to Draw". Every Thursday (barring any real-life barriers) I'll post a new video and ask you all to draw with me. 

Although the videos recommend a number of different drawing implements, I'll be using:

- A pencil
- A pencil eraser
- A blank sheet of paper

I'll scan my drawings and post them here. If you don't have access to a scanner of some kind, just take a picture of what you drew with your phone and either attach it or post it to a site like Imgur. Obviously you can follow along with a program like Paint or a tablet app if you want, but I'd recommend following the video's methods, which would be using lighter lines for sketching and darker lines for finishing.

Finally, this thread is meant for people who normally don't draw. But more experienced artists are welcome to chime in with any tips and tricks they'd like to share with the rest of the class.

Enough talk! Let's learn to draw!

My drawing:

   

As suggested in the video, I drew something in my apartment: A lamp next to the computer desk.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to shade it. But it is somewhat lamp-shaped, so I'm calling this a win.

I thought for this issue I would try a link to the imgur album. Let me know if its better or worse. And hopefully issue 3 won't take me 2 months.

ADVENTURE!


Welcome to the Adventure Journal!

Obviously, you're going to be asking: "Golly Gee Gosh, what ever could this be?!"
WELL, there are two(!) answers.

For guys:
A look in to the everyday life of a not-so-everyday female in MnFclub.

For (some) girls:
A somewhat comedic collection of random PMs that a lot of us can relate to from the game.


Exciting, no!? Well, probably not.. but, still. After around my 4th rando PM, I just felt like having a little fun with it all. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I will! First, two things. One: everything here is word for word, and in most cases letter for letter true to the source (mistakes happen)! Second, a quick key-

Also, if any of you know how spoilers in this forum works, TELL ME.

For now, the adventure begins!

Hi everyone,

Posting a new sex pose poll since the last thread from W1LL (Please thank him for the idea, I'm just making the derivative sequel) is four months old.

Standings after 4+ months were:

MMF | 247 | 35.29%
FFM | 214 | 30.57%
MF  |  76 | 10.86%
FF  | 104 | 14.86%
MM  |  59 |  8.43%

Me, I voted FFM and MM since a) supposedly MMF is being implemented next and b) I have a personal desire to see one MM pose despite the efficacy from a business standpoint... elfy boys need plundering too!


What do you want to see? Cast your vote and discuss.

In the "Most Wanted Poll" someone posted the following.

Quote:Personally as a girl who loves to be dominated, I'd like to have the ability to be raped anywhere, and not have the ability to exit.

Glory Hole Record:

Irina2016 and Akkela: 9120!

Are you kidding me?

How do they do it?
