dude I asked about this awhile ago and no one replied.

I think platonic solids are useful, if you approach it as, "create a icosahedron from a box; in perspective."

It would be wise to print out some templates and add them to your still life setup. Wouldnt hurt to study platonic shapes from life.

Because boxes are more simple and you should learn how to draw basic prisms before anything else.

How does a box fit into an icosohedron?

Done

>I Want to Commission a Self-Portrait
Are you sure you know what self portrait means?

>>3094403
No. I am art-illiterate, that is why I am asking here.

I am assuming it is a portrait of yourself.

>>3094399
if you want it in actual paint then it'd be pretty expensive, depending on the artist you probably would have to sit for quite a few hours, but you don't have to sit still usually.

if you want a digitally one done by someone on the internet from a photo that would be much cheaper

That's not nice OP.

Mark Crilley is an excellent resource recommended here. Just go through his videos and I also recommend Draw with Jazza. If you use their videos for another year before you go balding you'll git good in no time.

>>3097503
Oh, is that supposed to be funny? You know I've been browsing here for a while and I've seen countless hate threads of jazza which I believe to be an above average artist. Mark Crilley on the other hand is phenomenal and i'll regard any negative comment about him as coming from a place of hatred and jealously.

Now, I did not come on this board to have my favorite artists ridiculed as amusing it may seem to your youngsters out here who have nothing better to do with your freetime than be jack asses online and disparage successful artists. I came here for hope. I came here to hear the opinions of artists who started at my age and still found success. Thank you. PLease refrain from shitposting.

I'm cautiously excited. I got tired of Tumblr's tantrums long ago and deleted. The person behind Writscrib sounds reasonable but I still don't want to get my hopes up about the site itself.

I want desperately for it to be good, and on paper it sounds that way. But I'm sure that it's going to have its own share of problems even if it ends up successful, and that's a huge 'if'.

I imagine that a ton of people who are rightfully sick of tumblr will jump ship the second the site drops but whether they'll buy into the weird micro-transaction system they're going to rely on to stay afloat is another question.

>the weird micro-transaction system
After going through most of the available information, this bit is what worries me. The demographics of the site will look to be mainly underageds and otherwise people not looking to spend money on a fucking blogging website. Like most things involving microtransactions there's going to be the whales with income to burn just buying the biggest 'chip' package just for the sake of it, and then handing them out as they please. The majority of users will just not buy anything, or buy only a few chips at a time for the pay-for-view posts. After all, why pay a fanart/fic site of all things when there are completely free sites that don't require money to view and like posts already in place?
Should this be the case, only artists that cater to the big buyers will get the attention. And then more and more, considering that there seems to be no free likes or favorites system, so should there be a front page or the like for popular posts only the highest-paid artists will get that exposure.
I would be on board for this if the chip system were additional to a bookmark system like pixiv uses, so that the top posts are the ones people bookmark(or like, or favorite, etc) the most, not the ones that encourage people to pay for them. As it stands, I foresee this to devolve into yet another host for smutty fanart and fanfic.
However I haven't gone through all the Q&A, so my quibbles may have been answered already. But in any case, all I really want is a good, casual, English-speaking gallery site catering to artists. Gimmicks like these should be left at that, a gimmick, and shouldn't be expected to sustain a community, let alone a website.

Its always too soon to quit yet in a purely existential sense its never too soon to quit.

>mentions age
yep, it's a shitpost

elaborately crafted, I'll give you that

>>3097036
well desu I feel the same I did last year and I do practice from life and such but style wise I reference my favorite artists to add to my own style which is why I shared a quick sketch. And yes I mentioned my age but still there are people younger than me accomplishing more while I sit at home practicing and finally getting a job in over 7 months.

as you can tell i just draw with paper pen and pencil. scaning usualy fks up the shading alittle. but that was with my old scaner. i got a new one a year ago. thisone scans much cleaner.

It's called a tessellation, brainlet.

>>3097188
I know its called a tesselation. I didn't even mean a process for crafting it. I meant a process for making the design.

>>3097198
I think it's kinda what anon told you dude. You do that with the basic idea in mind and work your idea to fit the shape. Once you do one,you've basically done the whole thing unless you're doing it pen and ink (i.e. not digitally). Even doing it pen and ink tho you can use digital software to turn it into a tessellation from there.

Do you need a mentor, Mr.Nose?

I humbly place a request for interesting / high quality sketchbooks to check out on there.

How come one artist be so lazy, yet so exquisitely sensible of colors and image patterns. Warhol might be a total hack, but you can't deny that he was very talented and influential. Also, I like how he didn't betray his philosophy of creating mass produced art for the mass produced, fast food society.

And Warhol influence is one of the best things to ever happen to visual arts.
