tell me some what you think about my new icon?
Looks like a ninja apple
yeah you think?
what about this icon?
>>2949396
why is the right bottom side shapped like a tit
I find easier to study values/depth in human anatomy with statues/sculptures
how do you call this kind of sculpture though? i've been trying to find keywords for more geometric/stylized sculpts, I tried art deco, art nouveau and constructivism but the results are really scarce
I'll bump the thread with some more examples and some general statue references in case anyone wants to share theirs for study too.

Its a way to practice
A thing I'm working on but the leg is fucked, any help?
>>2951988
The perspective is messed up on it. So the lines on the sock and way the pants are there wrapping around the leg need to go in the other direction.
Also I feel the front player is too big and looks like a giant? I just drew a player guessing roughly how big they would be here based on where I am guessing the horizon is.
>>2952002
yeah, problem is I'm playing with weird perspective anyways. It's supposed to be kind of worm's eye. But you're right about the shape.
>>2952006
Well I think you need a lower horizon line then. Based on the background and the various figures it seems that the horizon is a little bit above the fence there. Then using that you can project the size of the people at different places on the field. If you want that sort of extreme perspective you need the horizon much lower.
Thoughts on your favorite digital painting course?
I'm considering joining this one, but I'm also playing around with
CntrlPaint premium series
Levelup Workshop. Through conceptart.org
https://artcamp.com - Noah Bradley
Mostly looking for a community to help guide my direction. Ideally a mentored course.
IC just isn't enough these days. While I am self motivated enough to work daily, I feel like my efforts could be focused better.
Is this the correct route?
Have you had any experience in any of these courses, or others?
What might you recommend?
>CntrlPaint premium series
you can get it for "free" if you know where to look
>levelup workshop
you can see videos for free if you google to see the quality; it's not good and if you look deeper the reviews are bad
>artcamp noah bradley
you can get camp 1 for free if you know where to look + it's bad; noah can't teach
>christ oatley
he locks you into a few videos a month intentionally to eat your money and it's not really for beginners
your best bet is ctrl+paint and schoolism courses
>>2949301
oh right
lvlup forums on CA are near dead and so are the Oatley forums. Don't believe there is some community behind the paywall.
>>2949301
>your best bet is ctrl+paint and schoolism courses
>you can get it for "free" if you know where to look
Good news, thanks.
But the community aspect is absent in ctrl+paint. So still not quite ideal.
I don't know anything about schoolism, but it looks cool. Has anyone taken any of these courses that they can recommend?
Painting with Light and Color
with Dice Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo
Looks pretty good.
Really I'm looking for some clear goals solid lesson plan and constructive critique from artists of superior ability.
IC can be great, but sometimes posts get no response or non critiques like: "I like it"/"It's bad"
Are you able to draw yourself drawing yourself?
Somewhat, but I fucking suck at drawing my eyes
Where do you find male reference that isn't just gay porn
>>2951920
What's wrong with gay porn? Are you so fragile that you're afraid it'll turn you gay?
>>2951920
A mirror.
if that's not enough, your boyfriend.
>>2951920
Sports are good since you get fit men with clearly defined muscles/anatomy and they are often in more active poses than life drawing. So look up photoshoots or videos and pause for things like MMA, dancing, sepak takraw etc.
There's also a lot of photographed life drawing sessions you can find or stock photos of male nudes in pretty standard life drawing poses.
lookin for crits! No reference, all done off the dome, so I'm looking for anatomy errors or bad symbols. Also need advice on hair. Think I fucked up the hairline too, but idk let me know
>>2951383
Is that some sort of Buscemi?
>>2951383
looks like madonna

What do you like to ink with?
Sakura Microns. I tried using a dip pen for a while but I was very bad at controlling my line weight and often times my inks just came out looking messy. I should probably practice with them some more but I don't enjoy ruining my sketches with poor inks.
>>2950899
You need to sketch more and destroy more.
The only thing that isn't temporary is the fact everything's temporary
Ever make one of these and find out the deeper you research your heroes they're all very very alike? To their own inspirations to how they dress themselves to their favorite food? I believe making this is probably the most important thing to do as an artist.
>>2950343
No the most important thing to do is fucking draw. You don't see the old master making influenced maps that are mostly used by shit weebs on DA. GTFO
>>2950350
Your opinion and you have every right to have it.
>>2950350
The reason why the old master doesn't make influence maps is because he didn't grow up in the fucking Internet age did he?
and honestly what a goddamn shame
i won't be long, i keep coming back but why? maybe because i've had this on my mind.
I started on here, who knows when, but when i did there were collab threads and people who have now "made it" and left helped me out
people would redline your shit, and give constructive albeit with the fragrance of 4chan, there was a tinge of criticism and some veiled trolling. trolling and negative attitudes, had some flair, some life to them. but it was happiness, it felt good because there was a life on the other end of that keyboard.
Now (and i won't blame the millennials or the newfags of bad artists or newfags)
If someone has ruined your day for no reason, just know it wasn't always like this.
To the ones pursuing a greater artistic passion, you know who you are.
To the rest, you deserve none of my words, not even my hate. that would imply some degree of worthiness on your part. :)
What I think I'll do, I'll treasure the advice, no, the attitude, /ic/ represented at some point:
>Ain't nobody, gonna fucking tell me I ain't gonna make it. Why ? Why the fuck not? I drew from posemaniacs for days on end! I scaled Mt.Loomis; twice! I got chewed up and kept going.
So enough of the whining. Enough self fucking pity.

What music do you listen to while drawing? Or do you not believe in listening to music while drawing?
