It's been researched and written about before, look up "memes: a microcosm of art history" on youtube.

Nice!
Our team thought about doing an exhibit in a Gallery in Paris. This data will greatly improve our project.
Thank you!

But I'm still curious about what people thinks about this subject. It's always good to have additionnal opinions.

>she doesn't think art is harder
Try harder or you're ngmi

>doing basic repetitive tasks is harder than creating something engaging and interesting enough while also advertising and networking to amass an audience willing to pay for said thing
I have worked some shitty menial job and I can attest that art is way harder.

>>2905427
i got a question for /ic/
if it is true that such works that involve repetitive tasks are not as hard as living off your art then why dont use that as your primary source of income while you draw as a hobby then?

>>2910222
Use yourself as ref

When drawing crying eyes, focus on making very subtle dots of white to imply moisture. Don't make the eyes gleam to much or they'll look like glass

Also add some slight pinkish red to the sclera (white part) of the eyes to make them appear red as the do whenever someone cries

Don't draw the streams of tears as blue but instead (depending on the skin tone) as darker shades of the skin tone (at least in black skin)

Don't forget to add subtle gleams to the streams.

When crying, the face must appear somewhat contorted. The mouth can be wide open with creases in the skin appearing between the mouth and eyes showing pulling of the skin (use reference for this if you're not sure).

What makes an expression more anguished is the lines from the skin creases. to make the eyes seem wider, show more of the sclera

Hope this helps.

A good thing to remember is people in real life don't look pretty when they cry. Make yourself son and look in the mirror, notice how puffy everything is, how flushed you are, the tears and snot, you're probably sweating a little bit too. Remember that crying is ugly business and that'll help you render a more believable kind of crying

I see someone skipped the basic gesture and construction.

I mean, I am not saying that you should check Skroto but, you definitely should.

Box or blocky egg form for ribcage, have it leaning backwards (when seen from front). Box form for pelvis leaning forward. Connect the two with spine. Add shoulders. Build muscles on top of that framework.

You'll find many examples of this or things similar to it in many figure drawing resources. It's probably in Hampton, Kevin Chen sketches, Bridgman, Vilppu, Proko, etc.

well it's annoying because "it's just shit" gets thrown around a lot when it doesn't really apply or when there is some visible skill and often times it is by people that are just shitposting, so people say "post your work" to find out if you really are personally worthy of denegrating a piece of art work.

Not really, you're probably just being a dickwad who loves the smell of his own farts too much. The only types of people on here who annoy me are the kinds who incessantly complain that nobody is accepting their shitty, obnoxious "criticism". Now fuck off please.

>>2909957
2013-2014 had an influx of tumblr people iirc, could be wrong

Plus I wouldnt be surprised if there were more underaged anons posting now than a few years ago, cuz population increase

Op here, not bad.

Now if only more people participated.

>>2910242
that angle is super easy. you dont have to put any effort into the nose, and its almost flat so you dont have to put any thought into perspective. it also means you dont need to put any work into shading the cheek bones, because the profile does all the work.

in short: a crutch if you suck and dont know how to work with other angles, but its not a bad angle to use. people use that angle for photography because it's attractive anyway.

>>2910242
>Is drawing anime a crutch?

>>2910242
They are usually so poorly drawn that you can't exactly determine the angle. That gives the illusion of variation as the viewers mind try to make sense of the image. That way you can have poor technique but still feel like a pro.

Here is another picture

Maybe two long fish circling each other

>>2909782
My first thought is to cut off the top bit so it's flatter and shorter, then put a pane of glass over it for a coffee table, but the more I look at the shape the less possible I think this is.

>>2909484
The one where you set deadlines and lose something important if you miss works pretty well. Like pay someone 100$ if you miss your deadline. Or sell your vidya.

>>2909484
try giving yourself some candy if you do something correctly and/or meet your deadlines

That's actually one of the most effective ways to sticking to a goal

The skilled always gravitate towards where the most money is at. Teaching art has become very lucrative while salary for games, animation and film has stayed roughly the same.

>>2908951
I have yet to make it and I already feel the urge to teach

maybe that's what they wanted to do all along and working on games was only what they could do a the time

>>2908951
I don't think that many have switched entirely to teaching. You're probably looking at guys who put out the occasional gumroad video to supplement their main job at a studio, or maybe some old industry veterans who feel it's their duty to pass along knowledge to the next generation by doing demos at events and things, but they too still are usually working normally.

most people are happily ignorant about the process of creating art if they like the final product. if you're intelligent and see a market and don't feel bad about manipulating people that is the result. people want to see "super realistic anime girls" they don't care that it's a manipulated photo and just think wow amazing! I think this kind of thing has always been around in art, just look at drew struzans famous poster art, it's obvious that he traces photographs and paints over them but the final product is nice.

>>2908605
Drew Struzan is actually good, though.

The reason he traces is because it expedites the process, not because he's cheating.

what's the point of breathing when you can take a knife to the neck, op?

Why would I give a fuck about 3D anime porn?

Shitty 3d porn is better than shitty 2d porn but top tier 2d porn is way better than top tier 3d porn.

cool! thanks

Most cities have uninstructed life drawing sessions you can drop in and pay like $10 to draw for a few hours. Look up community centers, meetup.com, and local art schools.

Otherwise ask friends or family to pose clothed, or use a mirror and draw yourself.

Photos are okay, but drawing from life is important and will speed up your learning.
