I'm a cartoonist if that helps... I'm looking into making a graphic novel some time down the road, but you can recommend me anything.
It can go from prismacolors to light tables, I just need some insight into some valuable tools and good brands.

Cheap pencil, ballpoint bic pen and 500 sheets of a4 paper.
>>3076699
yarn.
be unique and crochet your graphic novel instead of drawing it.

This book has a lot of great recommendations of supplies for cartoonists:

Is there a place that archives vintage magazines? More specifically old fashion magazines from the 50's-70's but anything in that ballpark will do. I just want to know more about the different styles of the eras

delete this and post on the self-promotion thread

I know this is bait but dear god, ic has fallen low lately huh.
Wow, amazing work on the cheeks!
why don't more artists shill on /ic/?
the anonymous nature of the community makes it very easy to stealth market your own work. you could easily spam your own thread with borderline gibberish to maintain maximum exposure on the front page.
Because it's career suicide being associated with this shithole
>>3076177
we like to pretend we have integrity
that said, if we did have pr people, you know they'd be doing it relentlessly. the issue is that we are our own pr people.
>>3076177
Are you fucking retarded, who the fuck would want to shill on a troll board?
I can't get gud.
I'm a natural procastinator, fuck.
maybe it's because you're taking personality quizzes instead of intentional practice
I am also a natural procrastinator, except for that art is my escape and the thing I use to procrastinate with instead of actually working.

What test is this
I wanna try it out for fun
Forehead catches light in such a way that it makes it look like he has a dent. Left eye focus off by a few degrees; it has a bit less detail than right eye even though it catches more light, and is also a bit darker than it should be.
Left nose is a bit smudged. Lips are nicely conspicuous but the degree of their smoothness is inconsistent with the rest of your texture/technique.
Keep it though and YGMI
done more to it, where from here?
>>3074001
You need to feel your forms.
i get to sit in a video game studio while the art director mentors me for a couple days. dude is very good at digital painting and has already taught me a lot. what else should i ask him about?
>>3073514
how do i draw like ruan jia and how long will it take me?
>>3073514
ask him about his interest on anal
ask him how to get gf
How do I draw good blowjobs?
>>3070700
Get one yourself and draw while she is sucking
>>3070701
Easier said than done

Please refrain from making your threads if you only have a single question.
Has anyone managed to find new friends in their mid to late 20s? Ever since my GF left me I've been completely arone. I didn't even really notice I was sharing my circle of friends with that girl until it was too late. I literally have no one to talk to or share my art with at the moment.
I tried life drawing but it was mostly older folk. They swarmed me because I was "so good"... uncomfortable. I'll try to look into some other course. Btw, I'm currently residing in Berlin/Germany.
>>3056711
Join discords for "friends". The sticky has a list of them. Try them all out.
Lots of artists have sameface issue, I have the opposite. Every time I try to draw a character it looks a little different (example: a page of skeches of the same character with different poses and expressions don't always look like the same character)
How can I avoid/fix this?
Face shots and landscapes are also welcome
Anybody have some good ocean references? Lots of interplay with the ocean and clouds would also be nice.
>>3039832
Best I can do
>>3039835
Anyone have any discord or drawpile servers they will share?
discordapp.com/
drawpile.net/
>>3077022
Why do you ask every week? Try not to oust yourself as a troll too soon in the servers you join.
>>3077069
Is there someone who asks every week? My bad, thanks for the tip though.
>>3077022
there are two discords in the sticky in /beg/, and an additional one here

Help me anon, how can I make this better? It's meant to be Marilyn Monroe. It's a commission for someone but I'm only getting £20 and I've already spent 4.5hours on it so I can't just restart. What's sticking out like a sore thumb?
>>3076990
You wasted 4.5 hours. The proportions are wrong. Foreheads too large. Facial features too small. Chin too large. It's a mess and it needs to be redrawn with special care taken to get all the proportions and placement correct. Likeness is not easy and takes practice. Good luck.
>>3077030
Okay, thank you for your honesty. What is your opinion on tracing the outline when it's for a commission? Is it an absolute no- or can it be forgiven to save time?
>>3077041
To be fair, if you're getting paid for it and you're not misleading the buyer by telling them the drawing is all freehanded then you can get away with it. No rules just tools. Just make sure you don't trace if you're trying to learn because it will hinder you.
Michelangelo is the ultimate og, if any other artists that said fuck you to the catholic church, plz post below.
Best meme of the 15th century...
>When Michelangelo returned to Rome, burning with desire to make his magnificent vision live, the Pope refused to see him.
Michelangelo left Rome for Florence in a fury, deliberately leaving the day before the laying of the cornerstone for the new St Peter's. Pope Julius matched his wrath, however, and sent envoys and demands for his return "by fair means or foul". Eventually Michelangelo succumbed, and went to the Pope with a rope around his neck - an outward gesture of submission.
>>3076811
this is why this board is in such a poor state.
How do I learn to draw like this? I have no direction or clue. Never went beyond high school doodling although people said I'm good at drawing.
Pic related is the kind of art styles I like, but no idea how to acquire it. Artist is Daniel Acuna
>>3076074
You wanna just look at life and draw. Look at real life objects and draw it. Find pictures on internet and trace them.
Don't bother with art books, most of stuff on /ic/ is meme. Also dont bother reading the sticky it's shit.
After a while you'll see some improvement. After 2 yrs you should be good enough to be a pro. Most people don't pursue art as a career so the bar to entry isn't as high as you think. Art school fags spend too much time learning abstract art and waste time. You'll easily get ahead. Trust me. Now go and draw. Stop wasting time here.
Why the fuck do these threads keep popping up every three days.
That's bog standard Loomis shit + photoshop colouring.
