He's one of these fucking idiots who sees a white cop and a white kid in the 50s and thinks its white supremacist crap. He deserves perhaps not death, but to be flogged with glass bottles.

I think tracing is alright. The artist took some liberties, as well, but I also think that not crediting or paying the photographer is wrong. This is a very, VERY similar work, but as long as the artist gets permission from the original source to use the work I see no problem with it.

You'll get these fags in here who think tracing means you have no talent, but honestly their work is always terrible. If you want to eventually break away from tracing then go for it, but don't shit on other people's methods.

How long is the sale going on for? I'll pop into my michael's to see if there's anything cheap after work.

Since we're talking about Markers, here's a one-month lightfast test I made of the china dupe called TOUCHFIVE markers. The colors are rich themselves, but are very bleed-heavy, so you'd need a marker paper with them. Though at 50 cents a piece, they are a good trial if you're not sure if you want to get into markers.

It's hitting month two, so I'll be taking down my samples again for another photograph.The greys at one month were almost indistinguishable from the originals.

Can someone recommend me a good basic skintone that isn't E00?

The store I'm ordering from doesn't have E00 in stock.

Are these threads bannable yet?

And his thoughts on why older aesthetics are going to return. Talks about longevity of different techs earlier in the talk, basically, statistically cars will be around for another 100 years because they have survived/been in use for 100 years already. Says the same is true for aesthetics.
Any art historians here?

That's a bit of a weird rule.

He's right about the human eye being attracted to visual noise and density, though. That's no secret. It's what you use on focal points.

>>3011899
So 50 years ago cars would've existed for another 50 years? When new tech comes out it lasts for a day?

Point is, I guess besides wanting to spark a discussion on this, all I gotta say is that for me, personally, I ain't satisfied with just being that freelance hustler making ends meet.

Why work hard when you can work smart? Social and business skills are actually more important than your art skills, even though the latter is important, too.

Thanks for the blog update champ

You're just trying to skip a lot of steps. Everybody wants to be the director or the art director but you actually have to get your hands dirty to get there or you just need to be fucking loaded starting off.

>The best artists are the best businessmen.

Yeah. The guys with the most money are the guys who are good businessmen but the guys you mentioned did decades of work to get there.

What's your point?

im back

I know I should drop this but its actually for a job so I can't.....

I don't know if I should have the lighting like the left or right. The left doesnt really look correct but the right looks like there's too much light I think.

This is the last one I did for this person and they're in a set, so I need the quality to be the same as pic related, but they're really different subject matters so I'm having trouble telling where I should tighten up.

>How much to start making money?
Fans don't translate to money, OP.

Anyway, for fame you ride on trends, submit to everything, and regularly - I mean near daily, at least weekly - put out new content or put out stunning content if longer than that.

The Oatmeal is perfect as a case subject. His entire career is Search Engine Optimization. Not an ounce of skill to his name and he built an empire. Study him, OP.

But for cash you need clients, not fans.

Huh? How is that?

C&H and the Oatmeal are comics, so no one gives a fuck about the quality of their art, just look at SMBC. Bill Watterson wept.

Loish seems to have a good sense of color and light and applies these to saccharine teenage fantasy worlds

Change your routine so the job is the last thing you do before dinner and going to sleep, which is to say start your rutine at 2AM go to sleep at 5-6Pm

relatively easy comrade, sleep between 2-4 hours a day like moi

if you ever need a kick get caffeine pills and shy away from sugars

>>3008520
what's your job?
i have a desk one and usually have some time to doodle and practice ideas.
then again, i'm beginner.

>>3008165
probably mainly people just like looking at girls, so they draw girls.

but i've been thinking about it a bit and i think it's also a kind of crutch (for me at least) i think it's very easy to make a cute drawing of a cute girl compared to most other subjects. and i think i, and probably other people, use that to trick themselves into feeling good about mediocre drawings.

yes, the only way to make money with art is to draw cute anime girls. everyone else who tried themselves at different branches of art was shunned and died of starvation eventually.

People are naturally drawn to beauty so it shouldn't surprise you that many artists want to create beauty in their work.

That said, there's more than enough tumblr art of obese women with hairy legs, stretchmarks and giant noses out there that is fetishizing and idolizing ugliness. Not to mention in postmodern art there are entire artforms dedicated to shock value and ugliness. So you really shouldn't have to feel left out here, there are plenty of artists who think ugliness is a more worthwhile subject for art than beauty is.

I'm also very doubtful about going right now as it maybe isn't the right time yet and I should improve a bit more. Here is some of my work that I just made. It is worse than my average work though as I had a long day of work and I feel really tired.
