/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

The sky is blue, but sometimes it's gray when it rains.

$2.53 is not enough money to buy a $3.00 cup of coffee.

Making threads to say dumb shit like it's profound is not drawing.

You need talent to create something that will stand the test of time
You don't need talent to draw animu coom, just work.

How the fuck do you retards talk about the same inane drama again and again
Not a single artist who has threads dedicated to them is worthy of a second glance.

Discrimination in worklplaces or the law is illegal, it is a crime, personal discrimination like in who you associate with and you you marry is not, they're separate realms.
I did make a point but you never addressed it, you just have insults and name calling.

This thread is probably the definition of community drama/vendetta and it's gonna reach the bump limit

>>5253907
you are literally destroying your own genes in an unnatural way just because of "globalization"

Japs need to into skin texture. 3D looks like shit if you do this mid way uncanny shit
Either go complete 3D celshaded anime or go for stylistic 3d anime realism. Not this Toy Story shading trash when the characters are in universe toys.

>>5253907
You clearly hate your own race or other races you are talking about at the very least, because to see non whites as nothing but non entities that don't have their own identity worthy of pride and persevering but as something to dilute whites with shows me how dehumanizing you view non whites.
That's what fucking pisses me off about you, non whites only exist as a way to devalue whites.
You and people like don't care about love, you use non whites as tool against whites that's as far as your worth of them often goes.

>>5253919
why does it matter to someone like you, who has 0 hope of ever passing his genes on anyway
I think you have your own gene problems to worry about

>>5253926
That was beautiful anon

>>5253694
this shit is iconic. No avatar brings as much attention and emotion as this one does. I don't hate it, nor do I love it. But just seeing it brings memories of all his art I've seen.

I see many pros selling for 40k$+ everyday, you're not looking at the right place anon.
Watch foundation for example, people with 400k-1M following selling 30-60k a piece right now

>g-g-gas fees
the absolute state of cryptocucks
scream about unregulated currency and shaking off the yoke of state controlled fiat, then turn around and pay fees

stupid as fuck in its current state and laughable to see industry professionals mental gymnastics their way into justifying it

>>5255019
On what planet do artists not get screwed over? give it a week.

Do you realize many of the industry people who've entered into the NFT racket have been victims their whole career? Screwed out of royalties, worked for free, underpaid by tens of thousands of dollars EVERY YEAR. Fallen for vanity book scams, paid to enter contests, done art tests. Never properly credited, unpaid crunch. Don't even know how to file their own taxes, can't afford healthcare. Created or participated in failed kickstarters, can't maintain their patreon etc. etc.

These are the guys who suddenly have the business savvy to pull this off? Yes some will finally make the few dollars they are owed, but many will get burnt, per usual.

So this is the new meme? I'm sure the very first people that got into this made a few bucks, but like always once something gets more popular and people start seeing dollar signs people gonna lose money.

spam all the related hashtags you've ever know in your posts?

B good

>>5251917
Here are a couple tips I gathered
>post at regular intervals
>on Instagram, it's exponentially better to post colored drawings. People on insta love pretty colors and colored drawings will perform better than non colored drawings
>unless your sketches look clean and finished, do NOT share them. This is valid for all social media. People won't click on them and if they do they won't follow you because all you shared is a shitty unfinished drawing
>use hashtags

>>5251917
>I just made an account yesterday
Wow! I wonder what your problem could be!!??!!??!?

In all seriousness two steps:
1. Abuse hashtags
2. Post every day

>>5251917
is pic related ur work?
instagram likes portraits or faces in general and active engagement

don't be hard on yourself pal. We'll all make it if we spend more time drawing than on ic.

thanks for the good book selection. I'll read these books instead.

i think soul comes from a piece having a balance between telling a story, while leaving enough room for interpretation

>>5251818
the soul vs soulless meme 9 times out of 10 is used to disparaged. what's there to discuss?

I think soul is 70% fundamentals and 30% inspiration.
Enough room to be yourself and show your understanding of something, with enough novelty for innovation.

>>5251843
You have to explore yourself through your art, that's how you find your soul.

>When I stray from all the rotely memorized shit I just end up regressing to where I was when I first started drawing.

We both know what the right remedy is for this. You have to draw and get uncomfortable and you have to stay there, in that discomfort, and explore yourself. That's the clearest path to your progression as an artist.

Someone posted this and I saved because I think that this is what I call soul. I could feel this art.

>>5251782
Isn't that one two different artistes?

>>5252270
How do you guys manage to totally skip learning actual construction skills, but immediately figure out painting and colors? I've only just gotten to the point where I feel like I can do okayish construction but now that I'm trying to paint over it I have no clue what to do

>>5252927
they don't know how to paint or color. they are copying a reference and don't understand lighting.

A month of daily blooks

I see no improvement, OP.

Leave Hot Topic and take life drawing.

You need an actual goal with your studies and just blind copying won't teach you much, you should be very analytical with a few copies and then even more analytical and meticulous with your "creative" attempts, and I mean really conscious and meticulous, go over everything you are doing wrong and don't do it EVER again.
OP shouldn't ever again chicken scratch or fuck up the pelvis that hard, honestly he's getting ahead of himself with anatomy and should focus more on line control and construction first.

>>5254740
>don't do it EVER again.
that's easy to say, especially the two examples you give. most of the learning comes from grinding and consolidating habits you pick up from just grinding for thousands of hours, you do have to be mindful; but conscious knowledge is not as important as the unconscious skill.

there are some people who can learn like you describe it, but those are a tiny minority; most people don't have the level of mindfulness to be aware of everything they're doing at all times; maybe for a few hours a day max.

>>5254776
>that's easy to say
Anatomy isn't easy but not chicken scratching is, it's purely a mindset shift and knowing what the fuck you're supposed to be doing.

>but conscious knowledge is not as important as the unconscious skill.
It absolutely is. OP is wasting his time with anatomy when he doesn't even get basic line control yet, 6 months of mindless grinding is worth much less than 1 week of conscious practice especially when you have a better foundation to build upon, this is particularly important for anatomy since you need good lines and construction knowledge before.
Do NOT grind things until you have good knowledge of them or else you are just grinding bad habits.

>>5254825
As for mindfulness, you should be doing your studies when you are most active like in the mornings, don't grind just for the sake of drawing, you can just doodle stuff you like instead.
And I really mean it when I say you should first have a good foundation, you will have a much easier time understanding bodies when you first understand 3D space for example.

I despise furries with all my might, but still can appreciate good character design, because I'm not 14 years old

>>5253080
>i still appreciate good character design
you don't even know what you're talking about beglet

>>5251525
reminds me of PaRappa the rapper or Um Jammer Lammy characters.

>>5253072
huh? I don't think you know what furry art is lol

hey OP, i may be in a similar situation as you-
without predefined exercises or tasks it can be hard to practice productively

what i would recommend is to break this book up into sections and spend a while on each section until you are comfortable with that particular body part

example would be to say, okay. this day/week/month i will improve my hands- go into the hand section of the book and read it entirely, then apply what you have learnt, using the book as a reference while you are doing so, draw 100 hands, 1000 if you need to, and continue to refine it using the book as a guide- until you are pleased with it and then move on to another body part / section if you feel ready

the book doesn't need to be followed start to finish but rather used as a reference when you want to draw/practice something in particular.

think of it as a cook book- you generally don't read it cover to cover if you just wanna improve your stir-fries- you go to the stir fry section and practice that until you are making wicked stir-fry.

goodluck anon, i know you can make it

>>5253440
you are too pure for 4chan. Bless

>>5253440
thank you so much for the advice i really appreciate it

source or never happened.

The focus on proportions and landmarks helped me way more than other anatomy books.

>>5251922
Any tips for studying Color and Light? I'm planning on ordering it soon but I heard it's more of a reference book than a how-to paint book.

>>5252477
ive always personally considered it a reference book more than anything, obviously it teaches you some shit but really idk how you'd study it

>>5252477
Theres a guy called Andrew Tischler on youtube, he has fantastic walkthroughs.

>>5252462
Damn this looks really nice.

I'm trans btw, if that matters

>>5251412
thank you for your critique

>>5251401
Y dos she look like trans

>>5251401
what makes you so important that you get your own thread?
post this shit in /beg/ where it belongs

>>5251434
ah, yeah, i can definitely understand the concern. buy a set of cheap dollar-store type brushes and try hard-coat modpodge, perhaps? not sure if you included them in the holographic paints you've seen on amazon, but looking up 'pearl pigment' and 'iridescent mica' seems to have some results that might interest you

>>5251439
this really does! many inks for dip pens are pigment based, i could make an at home pigment based ink from these, it may take a lot of mixing but if its at all comparable to the winsor&newton metallic inks im more than pleased.
from thin strips to fully painted areas i could have a comparable matching shimmer! maybe not a uniform sheen but it may look similar to the winsor newton gold.
thank you

>>5251456
oh, nice! thats good then lmao, it's probably not quite the effect in the OP but it's something at least
np bro

>>5251459
not quite but still very useful to me since it will match my other inks!
it will look like the image attached i think?

>>5251463
oh, thats very neat, hopefully it does anon. if i remember correctly the good thing about mica is that you can get a decent amount of it for pretty cheap online too
one day ill get into inks but i just havent the time to even use my watercolours, unfortunately

Nice. I have the same tablet but I have to keep my cord taped to the tablet, one usb port is already broken and the other is on its way out. I was not kind to my intuos 4 when I was younger, really regret it

Would have still had my decade old intuos if I hadn't snapped the usb port on a table accidentally. Now I have an Intuos pro going on three years. The bluetooth is completely busted but it works well otherwise.

and then you made a thread about it. whos stupider here

>>5251223

>>5251237
There are people online who don’t know who this is?

it doesnt take skill to draw a bunch of random shit, it takes skill to take chaos and mold it into order
