Archived threads in /ic/ - Artwork/Critique - 37. page

hey. honoured to have anons worry for me lol. was quite surprised to find this thread. nothings happened, my new employer sort of requested i limit the social media presence I currently have when they asked about it.

>>3120778
Is this common for employers to do?

>>3120776
nobody cares.

>>3120578
>I won't post my art
post your art

>>3120578
Draw fan art, tag it, and even if it doesn't get any likes you contributed to the fandom. One day someone will find it and then find you. Think of it as throwing a bottle with a note in it out in the sea.

>>3120578
To gain followers for your art, start by creating fan art to gain an easy audience while befriending other creators; suck their dicks to gain shout outs and free advertising.

If it's a matter of skill, then just simply keep practicing and get critiques and guides from /ic/.

>Does anyone else seem to believe they paint their subconscious while trancedly painting randomly
Perhaps

>>3120496
>Is there any artistic worth in what I'm doing
If you make it into an actual painting, yeah. I don't see anything refined in your pic.

>or is it just good practice?
Are these the only options you can think of? No, I wouldn't call it good practice.

>>3120496
well this is in essence "thumb-nailing". It's when you make random shapes with different values in an attempt to organise a composition before you actually start to paint.

It's like a sketch except that you're 'sketching' out value patterns and shapes instead of lines.

>>3120502
>to add
but if you're just randomly smearing paint over the canvas with no thought behind it then it's just nonsense.

If it counts, I'd say digitally editing images in Photoshop or the likes will be seen as the big thing of our generation.

Memes. Genuinly the president posts visual memes and everybody loses their shit. The idea is much stronger then the art piece itself. Memes yes just accept it. Memes.

>>3118639

By observing and analyzing the shapes, more than you draw. Constantly stop yourself to see what's in-front of you, as soon as you become impatient and want to wing it, stop yourself and go back to observing.

>>3118639
whoa holy shit that picture gave me the heebie jeebies jesus christo.

uhm. well i have some advice too i guess.
Artists have processes to their work. Every piece that looks amazing had a lot of versions and studies and many many barebones groundworks sketches behind them. You can believe that people don't but then it's easy to be a human render farm in this day and age.

In any case, the point I am trying to get at is that you must attribute the act of looking with your eyeballs as part of your creative process. Don't just look and curse yourself because the entirety of the image didn't get auto-stamped into your brain. Look for very specific things that help you build up the image, in the real world.

That is why people always tell you to practise construction. Practise breaking down what you see into its most prominent mechanics and features, like /v/irgins who are too bitter, they can't enjoy games at all because they play it and boil it down immediately into specificities and buzzwords and assume what will become of it later, simply because.
Contrary to stigma, that is a form of confidence which might seem cringeworthy, but is strength when it come to facing the unknown. Call it stupidity but when you believe you know what you are looking at then at least you can get started on it, and force yourself to understand the intricacies and quirks of the subject matter over time. Because that is also important: time. You have to look at things for a long time.

Anyways, don't post that picture ever again.

You merely developed a classic case of Dunning-Kruger.

They won't teach you shit, you gotta self teach then apply that to the project you're given. Luckily art schools give you a lot of freedom and spare time to do what you want, it's up to you to spend that student finance on online courses and real life workshops. Start researching and building up a list of those opportunities.

Remember Art School is only useless if you make it useless, use the facilities and always apply to the opportunities given to you. Don't skip an optional life drawing session just because you're not feeling it that day, push yourself and you're work.

When you first start you'll either be in three categories.

>time waster - there but can't draw and doesn't want to learn, they stick to their "style"
>catching up - you're not the best but you're willing to learn people/tutors will either generally ignore you including tutors and teachers
>the "greats" you're one of the few best in the class, expect favoritism from the tutors and passive hatred from you're fellow pupils and people sucking up to you

Work on personal projects outside of class and go on drawing trips, don't use you're free time to waste hanging out with friends at the cinema. You can do this every now and then, but make it a reward for hard work rather than just because you can't be bothered with drawing.

Other than that, make a finance list on what you're spending and be smart. Here's my finance plan for this next term coming up, along with a project template which you can change to whatever you're interested in.

It depends on which art school you're going to. Which is it?

basically do the opposite of this guy.

no
It just means that you're autistic

anime originated under the influence of disney

>Cultural appropriation
Why do you care? Is your circle composed of people who will chastise you for this?

>>3117816
it looks like watercolors over ink to me. but it could easily be markers over pencil i guess( the grey parts definitely look a lot like marker-grey) , i certainly think you could easily achieve that look with markers either way.

My moneys on photoshop or whatever program capcom had artist use back in 98.

Do you mean Kioto as in Kyoto in Japan?

>>3116806
Literally any art store
Especially in Japan when comics are mainstream

Tokyu hands is supposed to have a whole lot of copics, at least in the Tokyo one. Probably similar in Kyoto

Read lots of comics
And pic related is a good book after you've read McCloud's books

>>3120617
Look up the golden ratio and try to use it as a tool

Read Making Comics by Scott McCloud for basically everything you need when it comes to actually making comics.

Framed Ink helps a lot as well.

Photorealism developed AFTER AND BECAUSE OF hi-def cameras retard. They're considered photorealistic because they're BASED ON PHOTOS

FUCK

I hope it dies, it's a pointless and unimpressive task to me. Like, make something new, the whole point of art for me is creating things a camera can't capture.

>>3120551
Look up every color pencil artist ever, they all trace photographs like the photorealists.
