They make a very poor or at least partial work
I am a charcoal and pencil guy, mostly portrait comissions, and I am trying to get into oil paiting. The thing is, I have no idea where to start. I bought some mediums, color tubes, two canvas (which are now in the trash) and some brushes, but I have very little knowledge of he process itself. Any help would be great!
>>2916783
I suggest the Flemish Technique. I have been doing portraits for about a year and I like it better than alle prima.
>>2916783
I also only work with Red, Yellow, Blue, Burnt Umber and titanium white but I use zinc white for glazing.
>>2916929
I will one day upgrade to other colors, but I have learned the basics of color mixing this way. I also use Linseed oil and a glazing medium and mineral spirits for my under painting.
ok fags, pls recommend me any pre-XX century art book.
I want to read some old ass shit book for fun.
such high quality threads lately

>going to college
I have a 10 hour shift job 4 days/week. 3 days I draw for at least 10 hours, the other 4 I draw at least 3 hours. I'm not really mentally tired since I work labor so I got that going to me I guess
>>2922736
I work landscaping with my dad in the summers. Definitely something to be said mental energy v. physical energy.
I still try to fill a few sketchbook pages before bed, but i always end up pooping on the page. The weekends are the only time i get meaningful practice.

Take less credit hours?
I was pretty active in drawing the first couple years or so of college, but as I've gotten closer to finishing my chemE degree, I haven't drawn actively at all. I took an internship one summer and it was so draining (45 hr work week to get everything done) I didn't have the energy to draw. Plus, I didn't have a good place to work because I was in a shoddy hotel room the whole summer. Regardless, I haven't continued since then. I have my moments but it's usually like I'll have one week free from assignments but I just won't draw anymore.
To prevent that, I'd say the best thing you can do is to keep yourself in the mindset that drawing is a way you can spend your free time. If you're not doing anything on the weekend, then you can try to stream on twitch or picarto or something. This way you keep yourself doing it with a dedicated amount of time where you were probably going to sit and do a whole lot of nothing anyway.
What version of Photoshop do you use for drawing?
Do you use any plugins to make it easier?
I pay monthly for the creative suit... so whatever version the newest is is mine. I don't use any pluggins.
>>2922583
Me too. Doesn't really matter though, I've used old versions and it's all the same shit.
>>2922579
- Photoshop CC
- I use Coolorus - https://coolorus.com/

Hey guys, don't really know which thread to go to about the topic, but this is a tattoo from 'Mass Effect Andromeda' and I'm just clueless what would be the name for the tattoo style as I'm very keen to designing a tattoo like that.

Sorry but if anyone gets a tattoo like this, theyre a fucking loser
All of you are complete trash and always will be. But it's not your faults. Art isn't about who can draw the most correctly. It's about being unique.
Anybody can draw a perfectly shaded and perfectly proportioned face. You all have nothing new to bring to the art world. That's why you all are far from making it.
Unless you guys figure out something new you'll just have to settle for a middle management job just like the rest of the world. Seriously you all are just have the same repeated normie style. If your style has its own nonspecific genre you need to neck yourself
Post your work.
Lol speak for yourself
>>2922176
But we're all unique
From the Level Up! group on facebook:
"Hi guysssssssssssss.
This is my progress in 2 years . Im such a slowpoke ( ^ o ^ )/"
Why does this happen and how can we prevent to have a negative progression like this guy?
>>2922050
what a waste of 2 years
>>2922050
I like the one on the right better. More dynamic pose, better face and expression, generally there's more meat to it.
If you seriously believe this is negative progression and you're not just trolling, you need to take a good, long look at yourself and figure out where it all went wrong.
Hey guys I'm doing a powerpoint presentation for my art theory class about Jackson Pollock and could really use your help anwsering some question about his art style and works.
First question: Which style JP belonged to and why?
>>2920977
And I could use some $$$. We aren't here to do your homework. Also you posted no question so this is a troll thread knowing how much /ic/ hates non-figurative art.
>>2920977
Bitch I got 300 pages of textbook to read by the end of this week.
Do your own fucking homework
JESUS CHRIST I'm simply too retarded to understand Scott Robertson's approach to drawing hard surface forms. Just fucking end my life already.

Hi Anon, I know the book pretty well. Tell what you don't understand and I'll do what I can

OLD THREAD: >>2917551
I think I'm overthinking this whole rendering in colour thing.
Like I get how to render in grayscale with dry media like charcoal and graphite, but when it comes to colour I get fucking overwhelemed.
I get the theory stuff regarding what colours look good but, how do I know which values to use? Let us say I get my palette and it has all these flat colours. How do I determine what other coloured values I should use so I can render my drawing properly?
I don't get it, do I just choose something lighter for my brush randomly if I want a lighter tone? Is there more theory to it? A mathematical way to know a good amount? Or is it really just trial and error?
Fuck I'm so confused because there doesn't seem to be some straightforward way and it's confusing me.

just copy real life, the best teacher of color
>>2920185
I can copy real life, but I'm talking about when rendering from imagination.
Let's say I have a character and their skin is red.
How do I determine the rest of the values of reds to use for the darker parts and lighter parts of the characters skin?
Do I just say "well that red looks dark enough" and mix it in until I get something that satisfies me or what?
Is that really it??
>he still uses graphite
>>2914260
explain
>>2914260
no rules just tools
>>2916382
Why would you use graphite when charcoal is objectively better?
