then dont upload it

>>3123211
If I don't plan on uploading it then I have no reason to make it in the first place. For me, art is an expression. There is no point in expressing yourself if you're gonna keep it to yourself.

Ipad pro will wind up being cheaper and a better drawing experience. Surface's stylus is worse than the one from my 2007 le1600

Speed comes with experience. Don't worry about it and keep working.

No one really cares about how long you take unless you're doing commissions and take months to communicate with your client.
I'm sure you're not in that stage yet so there's nothing to worry or be jealous about.

Side note, a lot of artists lie about the time a drawing took them. Some would label a finished looking piece as a "quick doodle". Don't think about it too much.

There's this Tumblr trend going on right now defending cringy weeaboo/furry behavior and art among other things. It probably partially stems from people finding out that Rebecca Sugar drew self-insert Invader ZIM fanart when she was younger. I'm not a fan of this type of coddling but at the same time, people who constantly shit on cringy art tend to be cringy themselves.

i dont have an explanation for you. none of us do. art is strange in 2017.

>>3123687
>art is bad cause someone said so

>>3122990
It's called exploration.

>>3122990
These aren't really under drawings, just sketches.

But anyway, the secret to using loose under drawings is to draw lots of lines when doing them, and knowing which lines to follow (or when to make a new line) when inking.

Obviously a good grasp of inking techniques is also extremely helpful.

>>3121742
Yeahn but not that much faster

I use a hairdryer to dry my gouache and acrylic paintings, I never tried with oils because I think it won't make a big difference but you can try

Heat and sunlight is your best bet. That shit is gonna take a while, though, one way or another.

incorrectly**, wrong is inelegant
or, you could have also gone with 'wrong' and then 'right' possibly, but 'wrong' and 'well', ew.

otherwise i think it's a good piece, the central composition together with the mathematical plus sign gives the impression that this is a simple formula that anyone could follow, the colour choices, a stark dichotomy with white negative space and black text also reminds us of the simple worksheet-like nature of the classroom.

nice job.

My COM101 instructor would tell us, "when giving critique, tell the person 2 things theyve done right and 1 thing they can improve on." I think /ic/ should do this in my opinion

>>3121235
i think that can be a bit of an error with teaching art because art isn't very concrete.

sure you can point out errors and good bits, but a lot of the 'problems' a person can have with art are things like insipidity and incongruity, so you need to point out what things are 'medium' too, and in actually like most cases errors aren't as important as getting rid of the lame stuff.

Because its cute to bully him, silly.

ic likes to pick on people who post the same shit every day because "you don't improve" is another valid excuse to justify what they say. but when you realize drawing is a better use of your time than flaming someone, you realize everyone in the situation is retarded.

>>3121044
Yeah, but why him?

The problem with this website is that they act like everyone wants to become a working professional. They almost can't comprehend that some people just want to do it as a hobby.

From what I've heard and tried myself it's worth every penny. It's extremely thin and light. Afaik you can even use it as display for pc display if you prefer desktop softwares like photoshop.

I use it when I travel, and it's not bad, suffices as a tablet and medibang paint has all the tools I can ask for.
However, keep in mind that
>there are no physical buttons on this thing and the pensil designed for artists, thus all left hand actions are performed via touch-controls and it kinda sucks desu. I didn't know how much I loved the physical buttons on the Cintiq before, being able to feel which button you're pressing makes a huge difference when you're not looking.
>Also you can't multitask when you are drawing.
>such as watch a video or take look at chats(with commissoners or workgroups for feedback i guess).
>Having to switch to another screen for taking screenshots, cropping them and sending a sample feels a tad tedious.
It gets the job done though, the things I listed are merely little problems I ran into while trying to work solely on an ipad.

>>3118880
Yeah I had heard about using it as a display which was one of the things that got me really thinking about it. >>3118909
Isn't there also a keyboard or something you can connect to it? Seems like that would solve the no buttons problem.

>>3123016
This is how I see it, if you know how to paint you are free to experiment in every possible way like Richter did and many artists before him, but if you don't know how to paint then I won't take your experiments seriously.

I don't really understand his latest work, or at least the squidgy lines and wot-not.

I watched a film on him and he said none of it really meant anything and he didn't see any of the money anyway. He blew his myth right out of the window, which as quite good of him really.

Can't go wrong with spooky scary skeletons.
Also some freak embryos maybe? If that's your thing

It's very cliche but a graveyard with a Chapple on a hill or a hanging tree

signifying death is the typical approach with all visualization of ravens, why not swap the usual thought and go the light route with life being the way to go.

that being said if you are set on the whole dark side, i see a raven and i think back to the time where it was gothic era. so maybe like one sitting on a lamp post attached to a building, or some shit.... although now looking at this, youd need to redo the whole pic so i guess there are some ideas

>>3105684
I think it has gray too.

>>3105684
yes.

>>3105690
Mind posting some examples?

define "made it"

>>3123223
with those monkey hands? i doubt it but hes almost there.

You should use it if the paper doesn't have any, or if you want to create textures with it to paint over.

Gesso is a primer, that serves two purposes: a base for the paint to stick to, so your painting doesn't chip, flake or crack off the board/paper/canvas, and to provide a white background to work on.

>>3122924
Most pre-primed surfaces could use a couple coats of gesso on top tbqh. On paper especially (even expensive Arches Oil paper) the first layer of painting tends to be really uncomfortable, gesso helps with that.
