This is a photocopy look. This piece may have been made from an actual copier, the patterns in the grain are pretty accurate to a copier.
The easiest way to do this is to use the Threshold filter, in Photoshop, and then a levels layer to tweak the greyscale ramp of the image to control what gets blown out, and what doesn't. You can also download grain/screen images that look like a copier.

Thanks for the help. I hadn't even considered a photocopier, seems obvious now. Haha

Art is a meme class in high school, it's a degree at university. But unless your uni's art studios are shit, you probably won't make it into them with your lack of skill/portfolio shit. Maybe add it as a minor if you have time for it. With the amount of resources you have online, the best course of action that doesn't eat up thousands of dollars and your degree is to just self study, and get private lessons with one of the art teachers or their students if they offer a reasonable price.

>>3069306
Well that's pretty normal for high school

Unless you go specifically to an art school / a school that emphasizes art in their curriculum you're going to get generic, shallow art courses aimed at kids who aren't considering art seriously as a career. "this is what art is, this is what artists do, this is the history of art, these are some famous artists, now consider yourself cultured"

And nothing wrong with that, the worrisome thing is that from what I hear the actual art schools aren't much better

>>3069306
>Does it get better in uni, anons?
Sort of. University gives you the space to focus solely on art, and it's maybe the only time in your life where that's the case. It's hard to find so much space ever again. If you're serious about being a world class talent, you will have to make so SO much bad art and art school gives you a place do that and people to do it with.

Also you cannot underestimate how much any creative industry is powered by nepotism. You may think you know, but you don't. If you already don't know people, your peers in college are your best bet. This is the best justification I can think of for going to a "good" school.

Of everyone I went to school with, I know like 4 people who also made it. Then again, I can only name 4 other people besides myself who worked their asses off to be a real artist. Most will just want to party and pretend to be artists. These people (and some professors) will largely mistake each other as the best artists.

So, essentially it's a giant gamble with your future.

so 1. Don't do anything that will put you in crazy debt 2. remember if you go to art school you are gambling with your future, so work like your life depends on it.

I don't really like sketchbooks smaller than 8.5x11 for home sketching. I have a 5x8 to keep in my backpack for sketching on the go but it's kind of rare that it actually gets used.

I have several of pic related, I can fill them with shitty studies without feeling like I'm wasting space.

it can be creatively inspiring to try new things like a bigger canvas or alt medium. try to imagine a scenario where you have been asked to produce a work on for an entire wall. how fucked would you be when all your experience is done pecking at a book you can fit in a purse?

only children "want" things. tell your parents you want to be an elite artist for christmas

Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?

lol it only takes 2 years to get good if you actually work at it

>>3067715
but everyone here says ten years

>>3067736
it depends on how much time your willing to invest on a regular basis, also it depends on what "good" is to you

Maybe present a piece of art you like and i can give you a ballpark estimate of how long it takes

but if your willing to make art your life for like the next two years, like you eat sleep art (you cant do this if you have to work at all) then yes what >>3067715 said is very relevant.

Lack of fundamentals, but plenty of stupidity.

I like the contrast between warm and cold, but i think the inside is too illuminated, especially as it gets far away from the window

When you're in the top 5% of /ic/. Then go to a coffee shop and draw and drown in the attention.

Best time was years ago, second best time is right now or something along those lines.

The problem with Gray's is that it lacks reference with all other body parts which aren't in focus of the chapter.

>>3071097
It's only useful at the detail level, so unless you're doing medical illustration, it's not going to help much - there's a reason why anatomy for artist books exist, and every artist doesn't just go the anatomy for biology book. If you have a copy, keep it around for drilling down into the eyeball, or the muscles of the face, or hands.

Get an SSD hardrive with 8 or 16 GB RAM with a good processor (3.0GHz or higher)

Just get a decent computer nigga. Unless you're doing something like rendering (3d), digital art isn't that demanding.

If anything, get a decent monitor if you're thinking of getting a laptop.

I use a chinkpad on an external monitor. It's about 5 years old but is just as strong as brick n motor laptops today.

Give up and draw only bald people.

Drawing hair is like drawing anything.
Broken into its fundamental parts, it goes general to specific. You block in, shade based on the primary light source, and then add detail until you're satisfied with it.
What you have in that pic would be a block in. So, looking at it logically, next you would plant the midtones and such. The highlights would be last.

If you observe the picture here you'll see what I mean. If you want to go for cartoonish, keep the detail simple and to the point. The important thing is making sure your values are correct and to trwat the haor as a mass, as opposed to a bunch of seperate strands, and it will look fine.

Sorry for my English if there are mistakes. Good luck OP

bump for answer.

Okay first of all stop talking to that person because they're not your friend, you just overheard them talking shit behind your back and I bet the next time they talk about you they'll pretend they like the drawing

Second of all it does kind of look like a fursuit drawing, the head is shaped like a fursuit with the large ears, eyes and general head size
The torso is just a regular human torso shape which is also a common feature in fursuits
and the thighs are very thick which again is quite common in fursuits.
The overall colours are very furry-ish, they're bright and colourful but the overall composition of them is still amateur

What you could do to make it look less like a fursuit is to draw it in a different pose. The pose you've chosen is just a standing up pose and could be mistaken as a reference drawing (((for a fursuit)))
A few other things will definitely make it look less furry like:
use less saturated colours - furries love bright and colourful thigs
make him look less cuddly - sharper angles, more bondy limbs, etc


But in the end of it all, stop caring, draw what you want, how you want, if you like to draw comfy and brightly coloured animals that doesn't make you a furry, but if you want to keep your social circle it would be wise to not let them think you're a furry

Looks amazing. Puts everything in perspective. I really like this style of art. Makes you think, and guess. Is it a hairy man with deformities? A crippled baby? Or a hairy Nazi penis?

It's really hard to keep drawing and being encouraged when I see art like this. It really puts things into perspective I think, when I see how far I have to go.
