basically the way to understand it is that there's no drawing, just colors. it's just one little part of painting isolated and made into the whole work.
i don't get anything from them myself, but that's basically how to understand rothko's stuff.
I'm thinking of getting into digital drawing and I want to know, which cheap WACOM should I get that runs with vista?
why are you using vista first of all
>>3046040
Answer: torrent windows 7 and never have to worry about this
so there is no wacom good with Vista
Influence map thread. Post 'em if you got 'em. Give feedback and discuss artistic influences.
Who gives a shit
>>3045798
You took a nice thread idea and turned it into shit posting F U C K Y O U !
So I challenged a friend of mine to one of those gay ass draw everyday things in order to build both of our skills.
The rules are as follows:
>July 1-7 Faces
>July 8-14 Poses
>July 15-21 Objects
>July 22-28 Hands
>July 29-31 Drawings utilizing any new thing learned.
We are to use criticism from /ic/ to learn
>only one drawing a day
stop being a fucking pussy fag
I still do sketches and shit. I'm only posting one a day you fuck
good luck, anon
Some say that developing as an artist is the process of training your hands to see as well as your eyes
Are we really all seeing the same things in front od us, or just wildly different things that we describe in similar ways? Is there even a definite form or light distribution to be interpreted in the first place, or is it everyone's collective best guess?
>>3044315
we all approximate
approximate what sound our parents just made, try to imitate by making an approximately same sound, approximate what kind of shape you are seeing and then try to draw an approximately sameish shape on paper
training to do something better is learning to approximate it better
Just think of it how some people can't read sheet music but can play instruments. There's a very definite 'science' to how something will look on a piece of paper (sound) if you do x, y, z. But people don't all think the same and the brain is pretty good at finding alternate routes to comprehend something and apply it. Me personally I learned my times tables from some stupid song in middle school. It just happens to be the way my mind comprehended it rather than some scientific explanation about increasing integers. Nothing more esoteric or mysterious than that.
>>3044315
Yes. Photography is the closest proof of this (disregarding its technicalities).
Hello, /ic/. I've recently decided I want to make it so I picked up How to Draw and How to Render by Scott Robertson. First off, how the hell do I apply any of what he's saying? Am I supposed to build a perspective grid for every single drawing I make? Can his information readily be applied to organic forms? I get that he likes drawing cars and environments, but what about people?
TL;DR, will grinding his exercises by making perspective grids and drawing houses and cars and shit make me better at drawing "freehand", without (or with few) perspective and construction lines, or is this my new reality? Because otherwise this feels very much like cheating and kind of takes the soul out of drawing for me.

scott robertson is a meme
>>3044113
Don't listen to these memes. I know artists that have went through scott robertson and most of them end up with stiff, lifeless work.
Here are some realistic results you'll gain after going through scott robertson for a few years(I say few years because even though these artists got it in a year it's only because they had an instructor present plus they were drawing 12 hours a day so the learning speed is greatly speed up by 2-4 times the speed of your typical self taught artists who probably puts in anywhere from 2-6 hours a day.

You get better at what you do. If you wanna get better at freehanding backgrounds, cars and shit then practice freehanding it. Of course, you'll still need a basic understanding of perspective. Here is an alternative approach:
Perspective made easy(coveDrs all perspective essentials) plus Dynamic bible( goes more in depth into vehicles, animals, landscapes) using basic forms as opposed to those ridiculous xyz section drawings that only industrial design artists need.
>>3044122
did you meant to say "I know artists that haven't went through scott robertson..."?

It's all a bit samey, especially in regards to facial expression. Maybe branch out in terms of faces or subject matter.
>>3044079
Maybe it's because you're a white male. Change you profile picture and see what happens
Who are your influences by the way?
>>3044079
Your work is really cute anon. I have no idea what makes people really consistently follow you because I am shit and only a bunch of weird furries seem to like my work enough to watch me. Niche fetish shit often gets people more engaged with you, but then again i don't even like let alone draw furry stuff.
>>3044108
Along these anons joking lines: it often helps for me, even it it's just a little bit, if the artist is a bit more faceless to really get into the work on its own. It's silly, and not that important if you already follow a person for longer amounts of time, but still happens. If i saw your work alone i would've guessed you were a grill.
Hey guys my gf started doing little art vids as a way to help motive herself to improve, could ya please give her some support. Pic not related.

Get ready for her to get depressed after these cunts are done harassing her.
>>3042848
I'd like to think this board is civil enough
>>3042834
Fuck it's Gremblo. Even my grandma is talking about him. He's making a big impact.
Is picking up concepts in art faster than others a talent?
>>3045908
YES, you're literally just a few flights of stairs away from the people who can't draw anything (but learning to do draw), but you're still in the same stairway of art, so keep moving.
>>3045912
Ooh I finally understand now.

yeah i have a boyfriend who loves me and a following that likes my art

No it doesn't make my art better i just end up falling asleep at my desk.
Hello /ic/, I need help fixing my friend's tattoo. She went all stick and poky in the party and I wanna help her finger look alright again. I see some cat like creatures head with bones and shit so maybe that's a start?
Yes plan B is to cheese grind her finger the fuck up, but that's up to her I guess. I was wondering if I can think up of stuff to replace it with that would be cooler?..
It is fine if you don't want to help me too, thank you for viewing my thing anyways.
Holy.shit that's bad. You're supposed to do stick and poke in places nobody sees.
Here's some advice go to a fucking pro. Let them figure out that mess. Probably have to do a solid black band lol
>yfw you realize it's not a dick

laser to remove it
I realize that this is mostly /drawing/ and /crafts/ board, but I was wondering if one can have meaningful discussion here about contemporary art without pontless arguments about nature and semantics of "art" and "Haha, I can shit on a canvas and call it art"-retards running around
>discussion
>without pointless arguments
where the FUCK do you think we are, saged
>>3040824
I'm talking about specific pointless arguments, though, not in general
>>3040817
Short answer is 'no'.
Long answer is that it's possible and happens once in a blue moon but not without half of it being derailed by "my nephew could do better and he's dead". Not worth the wait, you may have better luck on other boards, maybe /lit/ if you spark their interest with a specific book on the subject.
As for me, I'm not knowledgeable nor interested in contemporary art (also I hate the label, what a fucking dumb concept, imagine doing the same with music); currently reading concerning the spiritual in art by W.Kandinsky but that's about abstract and modern art, still actual even though it's old. So good luck to you OP.
daily reminder realism ≠ good
>>3039875
daily reminder: good art = good art
bad realism = bad art
bad animu = bad art
daily reminder you can do anything once you do realism
copying a photo 1:1 ≠ artistic skill or talent
Does anybody have advice on fully rendering form. I find it really really appealing when the illusion of depth is used so well, especially in portraiture.
Does anybody have advice, tips, and things to look out for when rendering a painting?
>>3045395
>tips to look out for
form and how the light lands on the form
>>3045397
yeah i imagined as much but i would more thinking of maybe common mistakes people make. like i see a lot of artists who are good at rendering dont have drastic light to dark contrast, seems to be very gradual value changes. i think im going to try that next
>>3045402
Think of it in layers. You have a base layer, and then you just build upon it. It takes some to get a handle on it but...keep at it. Its not that hard
> I am dyspraxic so I have bad spatial reasoning skills (bottom one percentile )
>I am a super recogniser, so I can recognise faces better than 99 percent of people...maybe this can be useful ?
I don't wanna be a great artist, I just wanna be able to make something good enough for someone to think "hey that's kinda cool".
I also have bottom one percentile processing speed.
I'm not sure if I am being retarded by choosing to drop hobbies due to an IQ test or if I am instead being realistic.
>>3045674
>drop hobbies due to an IQ test
Yeah thats pretty fucking retarded
Would be like telling your kid not to play with legos because he isn't smart enough to make a proper pyramid.
>>3045686
I just really hate being bad at things. If being good at something is my goal, failure seems inevitable. This mindset is probably why I have such a one dimenensinel list of hobbies. I should probably change it.
I've also been learning too much shit about the importance of IQ.
