I think that can be said about everyone on 4chan.

stahp spamming all the threads

Forget drawing son, take 500 dollar, go to a slavic prostitute and hug her for 30 minutes cry on her chest and return home, the female gender is to powerful for us, the females are even physically superior to us, just suicide son and think about a bimbo girl before your last seconds

I think there's a pdf of it you can find in the art book thread if you want to check it out. In my opinion it's not good for beginners just on the basis it's quite technical and dry and I think would discourage people from drawing or would give an incorrect impression of how most people draw. It teaches a very niche approach that is mostly only used by industrial designers and maybe a select few concept artists who specialize in vehicles, though nowadays a lot just use 3d instead.

>>2935372
Yeah, Perspective Made Easy is a good place to start. How to Draw expands on that same material and gets more in-depth and technical.

Usually there are scheduled weekly uninstructed sessions that are open to the public for drop-in, either at a local community center or university/college. The cost of a session will vary depending on the city, I've seen a 3 hour session go from like $5 to 25$, sometimes it might be more but that that point it's not exactly worth it in my opinion. You just show up and pay the organizer, sometimes you will have a sheet you write your name on.

Otherwise if that doesn't exist in your city, you might need to sign up for a class but that will cost more.

How do we know this is actually you? Can you provide some proof?

This, before I say anything, I have to know if this is a bait thread.

With just this page alone you've gotten ahead of a lot of others on here. Most people can't even finish a work. I've seen your paintings and damn, you've got some talent. What program do you use?

Do you consistently upload at all? You have an 11 yr account but only 100 or so submissions.

How are you so good?

Dive deeper into the abyss. Make more art to jack off too while getting better until you become a self-sufficient porn making machine

>>2933102
How can you? Halfway through I've lost all arousal and get too focused on the quality. By the time I'm done I can appreciate the subject matter but I've stopped caring. I hate it.

>>2933102
It's not really that special desu. I could probably jack it to stick figures I draw just because the idea is so clear in my head regardless of what I draw on the page.

>>2928555
It's not my fault you're retarded, anon.

Good visual memory is a talent in itself.

Doesn't mean you need it because muscle memory is a thing and if you're throwing fits about needing to work hard by drawing something many times then maybe you should take a break.

Come back when you're more open minded.

>>2928558
Instead of hitting me when i'm already down why don't you help me out. Saying i'm retarded doesn't help.

A few pointers:

Value is more important than color. If you greyscale your image and it looks too light, too dark, or too grey, color is probably not the main problem. Nothing will look right if your values are too muddy.

When using complimentary colors, be wary of saturation. You shouldn't have your compliment be as saturated as your main color or it'll become an eyesore. A desaturated blue will still look quite vibrant next a saturated orange.

There's a book called Color and Light by James Gurney, it'll give you a rundown of the sort of things you should be thinking about.

>>2934674
Just feel it.

Each color has a specific value assigned to it. It is your job to have a good idea of what these values are.
Example, you cannot have a strong red hue when the value is almost white or almost black. Red's hue is the strongest when it's about a 60 or 70% grey. A good yellow can be like a 40-50%
Like the other anon said, usually if a painting isn't working, eighty percent of the time it's due to your value structure.

For colors specifically, a good, generic rule of thumb to follow is:
Local Color of Object + Color of Light = Light Plane
Local Color of Object + Complement Color of Light = Shadowed Plane
The Color of Light is kind of the "key" you want to work in that will affect every object in your scene.
I'm not making that shit up, Steve Huston approves of this formula. It's not the greatest, but it allows for a united color palette that works.

Also, look up the program Color Constructor. It does a more accurate portrayal of colors in a situation. The older version is better if you don't have Photoshop CC

where do i sign up to make shitty comics like this for dolars

it's almost like there's something more to comics than pretty art, i just can't quite put my thumb on it

>how can someone this bad be paid and be hired by several different companies

I know someone who draws these stickers, and gets paid enough to live off of it.

It comes down to who you know, how much you can whore yourself out, and that's pretty much it.

Actual artistic skill isn't really needed most of the time. Non-artfags know fucking nothing about proportion, space, color, anatomy, etc.
