Fuck yea terrible Lion King fandom
From what I've seen, Jon Favreau's Lion King will be out July 2019. So, we might not see anything about it until next year.

Sounds about right. 

Hey, speaking of movies and what not, has there been any new news at all for the live action Lion King film? I'm dying to see some material on it. REAL material not fan made stuff

I don’t think we’ll be seeing anything about it until maybe we get to Cruella De Ville movie or even Mulan if we’re lucky. 

Both were creative pen tablet, small but one has touch and the other doesn't (brought to help a friend with moving). Both always have the same problem and it's so frustrating because when I ask around, everyone says it works fine (searching around a fair amount of people seemed to have this problem though). Huion is bigger for a similar price and has double the pressure sensitivity (would help my hand immensely)I gotta look more reviews though. Also never really liked PhotoShop tbh lol (...)

(…) PhotoShop’s standard brushes never appealed me. Idk if it was because I worked in a small canvas, with mouse and the max size a brush would be was 4. Got more into paint tool sai because the line tool is perfect for those who use mouse, very comfortable and smooth (helped A LOT because mouse is even more damaging to tendons. Also, mind sharing your experiences with your current tablet? Got my eye in a cintiq-like for a while but dunno if I would like(very used to the simpler ones)

Sounds like it could have been a little of both. Small canvas and default brushes. I’ve spent a fair bit of commission earnings on some brushes here and there. I love Frendan’s brushes for both Photoshop and manga studio. And I bought a pack that’s used in the art industry companies like Disney and other animation companies. I don’t regret it, although I don’t use the professional brushes as I should as they’re for Photoshop. 

Yes, to me medibang is a blessing, very lightweight too ("weaker" computers can run it just fine). After I brought my tablet, I decided to stop using things I didn't paid for. After lot of testing and research, decided to use medibang for simple stuff and line art, and krita for painting and complex stuff. Only thing upsetting me is that wacom drivers fail lots. Two intuos tested on 2 PCs and 3 notebooks and always had problems with drivers. Got my eyes on a huion tbh

I work on a Wacom Intuous 21UX and its driver seems to be just fine for me. I do agree that the larger the tablet, the less stress on your joints. Being near sighted and difficult to read small text for me, this Wacom is a blessing in disguise and glad I got it from a friend. 

For my line art, I was lucky enough to snag Manga Studio 5(It goes on sale once a month on their website if anyone out there is interested in purchasing it by the by) I use it dominantly to sketch and ink as well as color. I haven’t colored anything in Photoshop for well over a year now but I still have it just in case I wanna fiddle with it. 

OMG they're potentially making a sequel for ROTG? HECK YES! I've been wanting a new movie for awhile now. But I wonder what the plot will be. will the kids be all growing up, OR are they in the process of forgetting the guardians? I'd love the movie to be about Jack learning to let go of first believers as they grow up, and he has to find new ones.

I read that they were yes. 

That would be interesting. I’m more interested in the villains tho personally. And very curious to know the follow up to Pitch. 

Many people like the good guys. I’m that crazy type that likes the bad guys and roots for good quality character development for them. When I design villains for my stuff, I try to give them what I want out of movie villains. Villains that are scary but you could easily relate to and feel bad for them for when they keel over. 

The anon that started the game. I have a bunch! I got to use a armband because I messed my tendons, it forced me to use arm more (that's a good, healthy habit everyone should acquire specially if using a small tablet), best way to study anatomy is to portray the sketches doing silly things (jumping lionesses would be playing basketball, snarling animals would have speech balloons with jokes etc), pokemons are a great way to test yourself because you have to use real and speculative anatomy(1)

(2)medibang is a free program that is super smooth for lineart(recommended), for artblocks I suggest drawing silly animals doing human things(like drinking coffee, fun and results won’t matter), make the face you’re trying to draw (just make sure you locked the door. Specially when drawing scared felines), last but not least, posture and self care are important too!Get an adequate chair, respect your limits and have a water bottle around. I’m 23,back+tendon problems due overworking. All for now?

I’ve tried Medibang. It’s very good for folks who can’t afford programs like Photoshop or Manga Studio (Both of which I use). 

Those sound like fun exercises. Thanks for the tips! 

Me thinks the person who is asking us to move on from the Takura drama is either Takura herself or one of her ass kissers.

Or someone who wants other fandom drama besides Tak drama. 

hmm fun art stuff. hows the HTTYD fandom going for you? I know you dont like the rise of the brave tangled dragons or whatever but personally I kind of like it. You can do a lot with it if you're creative enough. But many of the fanfics i've seen is the same crap over and over. Or what about Rise of The Guardians? You ever see that? Totally an underrated movie from dreamworks.

It’s quiet. Friendly. A few bronies pop up here and there. Leaving a foul taste in my mouth. Don’t go on Ao3 looking for HTTYD fanfics. Those will ruin your childhood. TRUST ME! 

That’s pretty much why I dislike it. It’s also filled with babymippers, shipping wars, and house sorting wars(Harry Potter). Like who fucking cares. I’d much rather see drawn fan art of them interacting and fresh ideas. Not static colorforms and pixel bitching. 

As for RotG I don’t think it’s underrated. It has a mildly large fanbase from my memory. And I hear they’re lotted for a sequel. I’m looking forward to that one. 

can we PLEASE stop talking about takura? Jesus what happened to Takura drama being like kicking a dead horse? Going on about her isn't exactly helping anyone move on from the drama. PLEASE stop talking about this bitch. I think we've all had enough.

You’re right. I’m sorry. Got some fun art stuff to talk about anon? 

Lets play a game. For every takura drama, one art related question? I'll start if you agree. I'm trying to loosen up my hand. Haven't drawn in years, I'm doing random bubbly like cartoons (like the lion guard and my little pony, doing my own stuff too) and using a pen instead of pencil so I absolutely have to move on when doing mistakes. Am I doing right?

Sounds good to me! 

Sounds like a plan. Many professionals I follow( @butchhartman to name one off the tip of my tongue, others I’ve watched draw live on official Nickelodeon youtube channels) actually draws in sharpie so if they screw up they have to continue on and change the details on a post it note to add later. It’s a great way to practice refining your arm movements so you can get those quick strokes as well as not having to rely on shape guides to build up your character. Pen or sharpie, keep up the awesome work
