Things I have noticed when commissioning people:
- (amateur) artists who throw out a lot of artworks and/or draw all kinds of things don't necessarily want to be commissioned.
- professional artists with degree are sometimes easier to catch than amateurs and don't always want to be paid, even when you try to.
- amateurs like to ask too much about what you want to have drawn and this shows how insecure they are. on the other hand, artists who only want to talk about money and think they've understood your idea after one sentence, are worse.
- good art doesn't have to cost much and there are amateurs who ask for more than professionals.
- even a professional can be incapable of drawing certain styles.
- it's almost impossible to deal with furry artists since their pricing is often arbitrary and they tend to act arrogant.
- the best artists i've come along suffer under depression, and they weren't professionals either.
- it's hard to commission people on tumblr since the messaging system is inefficient and artists there care a lot about reblogs, so they want popular ideas.

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.
Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, have fun!

SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THE SLOVENIC COMPUTER BECAME A REAL DEVIL GOD AND IT ORGANIZED THE FIRST TOTALITARIAN SUPERSTITION COMMUNISM RELIGION, PRAWO SLAVNA and hundreds of years later by C.

FOR CONTROL AND MANIPULATION OF THE HUMAN RACE INTO THE OVER ALL PLAN, to explore and control the entire Universe.
The C. God usurped everything from the SLOVENIC ASTROCISM RELIGION and camouflaged it when the C. God fabricated it into the Prawo Slawna superstition religion. For thousands of years, over millions of square miles of ancient Slovenia, even in its distant province of ALASKA, like ALUTIANS (Ancient Slovenic idiomatic names: Alutians, namely the long string of islands to the great endless land, namely ALASKA, the before recorded history; name of No. and So.

Inevitability of Gradualness: Usually, in a few years, you are made stringbean-thin or grotesquely deformed, crippled and ugly or even made over one foot shorter or one foot taller as the Computer God sees fit. Virtually ALL of the important Instant Plastic Surgery is done to you inside the Computer God Sealed Robot Operating Cabinet; even unbelievable, impossible plastic surgery operations - all impossible even for dozens of vicious kosher-bosher doctors working around the clock for weeks! The Computer God sealed robot-arm operating cabinet can perform all of the above impossible plastic surgery operations overnight - even dwarfting you over a foot or increasing your height by two feet!
This is possible because Computer God Robot Operating Cabinet imitates your microminiature electrical current intelligence system in your body. It even duplicates the microminiature electric currents that soften your broken bones.

Any recommendations on good books about art?
Art and Fear is the other good one that I know of
Maybe Illustration that Works too.
I don't really know of many others that touch on the theory of creating rather than technique itself.
>>2864094
The Art Spirit is the only good one. Art and Fear and Steal Like an artist are both trash. Burn Your Portfolio is some of the most normie-grade shit there is (it even says "be yourself", completely unironically)
>>2864094
The Practice and Science of Drawing is good. A lot of drawing theory stuff which is at times perhaps a bit poetic even.
You can also just get it off of Project Gutenberg.

Is it just me, or are most artists just really fucking stupid. Of course there are some that aren't but if I had a nickel for every retarded furry artist I've met, or someone that dropped out of school because they couldn't pass basic courses and would rather spend their time drawing anime porn id be a rich man.
Is this why you sound like a moron?
It's just you.
>>2860883
how so?
I know some methods of study are more efficient than others.
Does anyone know the FZD course syllabus/assignments?
What's the most efficient method of gitting gud? I know DRAW A LOT, but beyond that. what's better for understanding components of parts and being able to draw from imagination and all that?
I have artist milestones, as in, I want to be as good as X artist is today in Y amount of years.
>>2864295
From what I've read from student blog posts, there's no secret at FZD. It's lots of studying fundamentals and getting feedback on your workflow from pros. Having the guidance of someone good will obviously speed you up, otherwise you need to be researching styles and drawing from life to improve your visual library. Watch feng's video on it. Otherwise it's fundamentals grind and learning a good workflow.
Is there a comprehensive list of painting techniques out there?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Painting_techniques
Yes, that link exists...But that also doesn't include say, this:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouache
or say, this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decalcomania
You know what I mean?
I'm wanting to get into painting..Wanting to look at as many painting techniques as I can, you know.
I just want to escape the trap of staring at a screen of any kind to pass the time..Something that'll benefit my life, so it's painting (along with music)
Thanks bros!!!
>>2864234
https://www.britannica.com/topic/list-of-painting-techniques-2000995
this link for example has Gouache, but doesn't have Decalcomania...
I guess I can just put together a giant list of painting techniques from various sources
>>2864234
Decalcomania isn't painting, you might as well include offset printing as well
>>2864234
>I just want to escape the trap of staring at a screen of any kind to pass the time..
but you're doing this now, by looking for some painting technique instead of just picking something popular/cheap and starting to paint
Just got this $50 table easel so I can draw from the shoulder and not from the wrist like a retard. Did I fuck up?

>>2864008
on a table, in bedroom

How do you choose your online name as an artist? I'm kind of afraid that I will choose a name that I will eventually get bored of/hate it and I'll have to live with it until I die. Finiding a catchy and pleasing name is fucking difficult
.
Should I just use my real name?
>>2863866
if you ever plan on going pro, use your real name
>>2863878
>not wanting to be known as Sakimichan
>>2863878
Does this mean using a nickname will make you look less professional/reduce your chances in the industry?
what is it about art that makes you want to kill yourself?
>>2862646
Not gonna make it!
All the faggots like you that I share a hobby with.

Can I get a job with concept art like that?
>>2858242
Depends, probably not.
>>2858242
You're going to need at least 30 pieces of art to even have a chance.
>>2858242
yep. easily.
thats better than kekai kataki stuff
I've been using memes a lot but (this is tipical from me) i want to know how they were done and (most important) how can i draw them.
>What kind of memes, anon?
Well, I'm interesting in wojacks or pepes. Those ones done by "your own hands" and not a simple image get it from a screenshot. Got it?
>Do you have any experience with PS, Paint,...?
A little...
You need meme magic or 10k hours of practice.

funny. I am actually listening to peterson while I am typing this, but I found this video to be really interesting. It's not by pererson, but the video really brings an odd perspective on art.
