Did you not eat your carrots again today? It's important for artists of the visual medium to protect themselves against macular degeneration and carrots are high in beta-carotene! Make sure to put carrots on your next grocery shopping list.

I want to draw from imagination, but at the same time I keep hearing these conflicting messages of "if you wanna draw from imagination you got to practice drawing from imagination" and "never draw from imagination, use references as they don't imprint your mind with mistakes in the future" How do I balance these sentiments and go about drawing and learning as quickly as possible?

Stop thinking about it and just start drawing
When drawing from imagination, incorporate references to make things look grounded or proportionally correct.
>>
Use references as just references. Get a photo of a head but don't copy it exactly (draw your own head).
Also try to draw something via imagination and get it as correct as you can possibly get -> get references -> fix

You can't do that without knowing anatomy.

I've seen a lot of talk surrounding life as a concept artist, designer, comic artist, etc.
But I've rarely seen people talk about becoming a full time Illustrator, how can you? Would you?

well personally i dont ave experience as a 'traditional' full time illustrator. I'd say about 70% of the work i do is porn commissions under alias. The other 30% is actual illustration.
>>
The only people who pay illustrators nowadays are usually news organizations/magazines/etc. who want something for their article. But there's not a lot of those out there in comparison to everything else.
It's best to diversify your skill set if anything and do multiple types of work if you don't want to die starving.

Obviously stress and using your brain too much makes you hungry. That's all there is to it. Just embrace the snack life.

i went for 8 hours and this unironically happened to me. i think i just forgot to eat though, happens during exam times as well.
Hey, Heres my most recent art piece. any critiques?

It's visually unclear in some places. For example, I can't tell what the hook-like shape on the face to the right is. You need to include the right details to make it readable. Also, the hand is borked.

Any background lovers? Post your favorites, or personal.
Shinji Kimura did some amazing background art for the anime TekkknKinreet. I always enjoy getting lost in his worlds. Personally I think the movie is worth watching for his art alone.

How do you start on a drawing /ic/?
Do you make a shape-skeleton or do you start on details right away?

I do this basically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0dH4P0jHJA
>>
With some rounded quadrilateral shapes to represent the pelvis and rib cages, then some circles to map out the placement of the joints. If it isn't a doodle or a throwaway sketch, I'll do proper construction.
>>
Gesture, then details, usually for the face
It's very wrong and I have problems with proportions quite a lot. gesture > skeleton is better.

hey /ic/. I have a question about oil painting varnish.
I varnished an oil painting using Utrecht Gloss Oil Varnish yesterday to display in an exhibition. Today, I hung the painting in the gallery, and realized that the varnish I used was wayyy too glossy when we shined gallery light on it.
I wanted to ask if the gloss will get less glossy if I let it dry for a couple more days, and if there are anyways I can remove its glossyness.
Also, I only waited 2 months to varnish because of the show, incase of the usual 6 months if it affect anything.
Thanks

it should get less glossy when it's dry in my experience, the only time i've tried to fix something like this i fucked it up though, i tried to strip some of the varnish off with turps, and then apply a matte varnish, but it um..became a mr. bean type situation..or i suppose monkey jesus is the more timely reference

We always discuss amateur and frankly too modern stuff on /ic/.
Can we all have some nice historical paintings and discussions about art from the 1900s and before.
Post your favorite artworks/periods.

Anyone here tried Schoolism? What did you think of it? I'm interested in learning from Jason Seiler.

I went through his portraiture series. It's basically seven videos (with ten chapters each) of basically "take your time and measure better." You are unironically better off reading Keys to Drawing or something. Even with his homework feedback portion (which costs extra?) there's little substance to it with his critique. He is a crazy good artist but I don't think he's a good teacher.
>>
>>3101941
thanks for your thoughts; I'm actually interested in his caricature series, since I already understand portraiture quite well.
I see it's $15 for a month, how many months did it take for you to work through all your videos? Can you download them all at once then cancel your subscription?
>>
>>3101956
I actually took them seriously and went along with the homework (for my own benefit, i didn't sign up for critique) and for the first two or three lessons it took me a week or so, but back then I was painting for 5-6 hours a day so that may play a factor. The first couple are not so long. When I realized that I wasn't learning anything I sort of fell off.
You don't need to take my word for it. Check it out and see if it's for you, maybe his caricature stuff is presented differently. There is no "download" button but you can use OBS to record your screen and then play the video in hd. If you sign up for just a day they might get suspicious anyway.
