is this a joke ?

It's shit.

Trial and error.

Unironically this
Just keep practicing. Watercolor, for example, takes a lot of knowledge of mixing pigments and brush control that you can only learn from experiencing and trying it out for yourself. There's a physical aspect to painting that you just gotta acclimate yourself to, it took me a year to figure out how to do a decent large wash. Read tutorials, try new techniques, and find something that works for you.

Why do you keep using the same image?

Depends if Artist A lets you have the rights.

I paid in full for the art already; they just did sketches. Can't I take those sketches andd go to someone else and have them redo the sketches?

I mean, I made the mistake of paying in full and then I've been getting the run around by an artist who is super lazy and just cares about money.

Depends on the contract I have. Wait, you don't have a contract?

You see, a contract could state that you get a 100% refund if the work isn't completed on time, and have time goals for each step - x for sketch approval, y time for completed work. Kill fee of 50% if you stop the contract before the allotted time, refund if the work isn't delivered. Standard stuff.

Always have a contract for paid work. You can get a standard one off the internet and modify it in Google apps.

As for the rights...sticky issue here, if it's a specified commission with all rights being sold as part of the job. This is another reason to have a standard contract spelling out what happens to the copyrights - in this case it would be a 100% buyout, with all rights reserved by you if the work isn't completed. Now, they may - MAY have a case, but I doubt they can afford a copyright lawyer or the cost of a suit (they start around 5k for a retainer, how much the lawyers have to spend in research and court will determine the price.)

Start using contracts!

How badly do you not want to do it?

yeah bud it's gonna take a lot more than "a few hentai artists" to get you a following

>>2968438
Yeah it's not talent that holds artists back yknow so this wouldn't work unless you're already extremely popular on your own.

The artists also will probably tell other artists (there's sites for saying who is and isn't safe to commission or be commissioned from) and eventually no one will draw for you without recognition for their own work.

However if you were to gather some artists together to form a group and make a patreon you all share from then that would possibly be a good and fair way since you'd have 2x (or however many you get on board) the promoters, more content etc

Cranial units did the trick for me. It's been very helpful in proportioning body parts for non human characters.

learn the basics of measuring, draw tons of portraits and sooner than later you won't need to measure anything

>>2968253
Hysterically untrue. Who told you that? Or did you pull it straight out of your ass?

Do you really think the masters like DaVinci, or Michelangelo, did no measuring? Really?

You know that cliche of an artist holding his thumb up to look at a painting or a model? Where do you think that comes from? It comes from artists actually fucking doing that, to make measurements, to get the proportions and distances right.

Doodling, it's fun but not anything worth showing.

a huge waste of time

>>2968080

An exercise in textures and materials if done properly.

>not drawing anime and studies at the same time

That's day 1 rule, kouhai.

>>2966666
Sorry Satan. Japanese artists do 80% copying and 20% fundies.

>tfw didn't fall for the study beforehand meme
>tfw having a ton of fun drawing cute anime girls meanwhile improving because can see mistakes to improve upon

Just convince her to do "mix media" with Photoshop post-processing. She will be satisfied and when she finally sees that digitalfaggotry is for incel queers there won't be any real damage.

mine don't either if it makes you feel better

Be an artist first and then go into teaching afterwards. A good portfolio will help you get a job just as much as an education will, and you won't have time to be a real artist once you're working in a school. Students will probably respect you more if you're an accomplished artist as well.

I like his Hollywood teeth.

>>2967673
He's pretty good.
The videos aren't structured and he doesn't teach the fundamentals, but it's good for hobbyists or to pick up some random tips on more effective workflow.

>>2967673
he's really cute and I would suck him off for art knowledge but he gives it for free

>>2967433
Yes. Someone has experience with the wacom art pen.

>>2967433
can't write for shit with it

>>2967464
So its only good for painting? Thought about replacing it with the standard one.
