Does anyone know where I can find more art by Jose Carlos? I've tried image search but it hasn't brought me much.

A lot of people say learn perspective but here is a disagreement as to what to learn. I read perspective made easy a long time ago( I should probably read it but it doesn't seem comprehensive enough)
Here are the sources I plan on using for perspective learning this year:
Marshall Vandruff Lectures + Framed perspective(trying to make a comic)
I've heard mention of Erik Olson 90 hour perspective course, it seems really dry, do you guys think it's necessary to go through that or is it just for autists?
I've also heard of Scott Robertson but i'm thinking it's more aimed towards people who wanna work in industrial design.
Thoughts?
It's all the fucking same. Find a method you would like to study and study it, then try it out.
Personally, I recommend Scott Robertson's How to Draw, but it has some VERY technical stuff in it if you don't understand it from the get go. However it does a great job of explaining some things like how to freehand ellipses.
Erik Olson is a meme.

your life is a meme
How much can you improve in one year?
Is there a human limit for that?
in what metric?
>>3040860
Just try it lol Nobody knows your limits
>>3040860
I want to know this too. I'll be studying to become a nurse for the next seven years starting this august. Am I going to make it?
I literally know jack shit about tattoos. Today I came up with this on the fly: a bat or bird wing that goes from the scapula, along the arm up to the hand. Thoughts? How well would this work?
a wing bone*
it would look retarded. just stick to your tribal tats or random chinese words.
>>3042214
Be a rebel and don't get a tattoo.
can i git gud if i just watch a lot of videos but don't actually draw that much?
No.
Is this a joke?
>>3041342
draw along with the video
how do i draw appealing buttholes?
>>3037992
Browse gif and the anal threads and maybe you will find some decent looking anuses then try to draw them, because the average anus isn't appealing at all anon.
you better post that source
>>3037992
A lot of shine apparently
My old thread died since i finished my painting so here it is finished. Thanks guys and girls for any and all the crit! it helped a lot.
Yes please no filters with your reaction if any.
>>3041293
ok im adding that lol
It turned out great. I really like the colors you used, and the top left quarter is really good (the trees and shit). Looks like a picture taken under a nasty old yellow street lamp or bug light.
but like other anon said, front leg missing
>>3041292
You sorta saved the back leg, nice result.
Adam Warren is an extrenely skilled comic artist, but holy shit it makes le so sad that he still draws those frog faces, but at this point he could draw better but he doesn't for some reason, everything in his art has evolved except the faces which is the most important part. It makes me sad. I can't enjoy his works, everything looks perfect except the face.
And I truly believe the face is what keeps him away from getting more recognition,
if you read empowered, it's on the same level as Yusule Murata except the facials.
>>3039894
I agree with this 100%, I'm sure it's a common sentiment on Warren. I think he forced himself to steer away from the typical 80s manga style and that's what he ended up with.
He would be one of the best comic artists in the West.
looks like all taiwanese no face mango to me
I thought shit like this was plenty popular?
>>3039894
Adam is high level.
He is legit very advanced.
How do I achieve a similar latex look when rendering?
>>3029991
Lots of spec highlights, reflections, while retaining most of the base colour.
You're looking at the answer to your own question. It's right there. Do a study if you're so eager to know. Dork.
>>3029991
When it comes to texture, the only way to learn is to practice it. Look up pictures of latex suits and copy them. As for tips, if you are going for shiny, then make sure your colors are saturated, and that your highlights are bright white. Also experiment with brushes, because the highlights on latex often has this distorted fish eye look to them.

get her fucking gumroad/patreon pack on that particular piece and find out. it should contain the full video process
it's that time again Commisons that never saw light of day. pic related let me knw what yiou think it iz

>>3042560

Anyone got links to really good watercolor artists? Tumblr, Pixiv, anything is welcome, whether realistic or stylized.
All I know is James Gurney and Marc Taro Holmes
I really like Laovaan.

What's your opinion on Japanese demon drawings/tattoos
My opinion is that they're sometimes interesting.
you mean yakuza tattoos in general or just the demon? i like them.
If you're white you shouldn't get one since it would be cultural appropriation
How many years have you spent on learning to become a person who does art for a living?
>>3037284
Since early teens, so 8 years or so. Nowhere near tho, gotta keep getting better!
>>3037284
About 2 years.
>>3037287
wtf were you doing for 8 years if you're "no where near" now?
I have a difficult time finding a proper reference for the behaviour of the female torso in this position.
Reference or redline would be helpful, because I don't like the leg/crotch area.
Fuck, meant to post this in beginner's thread. Please ignore.
>fell for the full time job meme
My chance to become good is over but I hope you NEETs invest most of your time well.
>>3043058
you can still switch to a half time job, or not?
>>3043060
Not for the next 4 years.
>>3043063
Then you might get your chance to become a better artist in 4 years. Until then, use your freetime to draw a bit on the side to stay in practice.
