How can I study Ron Cobb's work? What makes his drawings the way they are? How can I emulate and learn from his stuff?
>>3094896
Break them down in a way you understand it.
>>3094896
Study technical drawing, and industrial design. His stuff fits right in with it. He just took the marker rendering style of industrial design, and applied it science fiction. Plus, he's incredibly talented. He was taught drafting in the army, that's where his technical drawing skills came from.

I think you'll enjoy Scott Robertson's How To books.
absolute new fag to digital art here. what would you consider to be the essentials to learn when it comes to digital art? what smaller goals should I go for?
>>3087920
Pretty much every fundamental
Perspective, anatomy, colour, light, composition
>>3087920
#1 paint for yourself and not for likes/followers/whatever
#2 some vision or taste that gives your art an unique spin. don't do the same generic bullshit as everyone else
#3 all the fundamentals that every artist has to learn, no way around it
>>3087920
most essential is drawing ability and creativity
painting and color should come much much later
Like the title says, who are some younger and newer artists whose work you enjoy and who has possibly influenced you?
I'll start with this guy I discovered a while back on youtube named Cesar Santos. The guy's only in his mid-30s but he seems to be a natural teacher and his videos are very informative and instructional. Here's his channel if anyone's interested, though I imagine a lot of people here already know him: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHUofurwg70iaByk_qIEZnA
Plus he looks quite a bit like The Doctor from Voyager, so that's a bonus.

I was painting that kind of art school "homage" bullshit when I was 18 in art school. It's the visual equivalent of one of those "Lo-fi Chill Hip Hop Study Beats 10 Hours" videos on youtube.
Too scared to come across as disrespectful of what came before him, so he references it as literally as possible as often as he can, and in the end comes across more offensive for it because he has nothing new or interesting to say other than "I learned to copy other people's good paintings onto my shit paintings".
I could go off more on his type of bullshit, but I know I used to do the same kind of bullshit (That 3 years where I literally just van Gogh'd all over canvases and claimed I was original)

I didn't say good, I said who you enjoyed.
Make this interesting. You can only reply to others by posting another piece of your own artwork. Sketches, studies, full pieces, doesn't matter, but it needs to be yours

>tfw doing art for fun
You just didn't have the intellectual cappacity for visual art to get good enough before the economical pressure of society caught up with you. Congratulations on setteling for not finishing and finding the silver lining. Keep telling yourself that it was for the better. I'm sure it hurts less then.
>tfw always pressured to improve no matter what
Is this how it feels to make it?
What's with this "art for money" thing? Is money seriously anyone's goal? Does everyone have projects they're working towards? Fermenting technical ability to execute specific works?
why couldn't ancients into 3d?
They could.
>architecture
>statues
>pyramids
>>3094134
I meant rendering forms.
>>3094132
it was a hard thing to understand, plus most ancient art is religious and had to follow a set style, where you get less restricted pictures you usually do see 3dness, foreshortening and lighting to depict form and that sort of thing.
How do you know if you have talent or not?
Only hard work will bring it out.
>>3093007
Test your IQ.
>>3093007
i think it's when you think you suck, and you're like 'i suck.' that means your talented
if you think you suck and you're like 'i wish i wish i had a god given gift to do this like everyone who is good at it already'
then you don't have any talent
it's like, if you have a big dick you don't go around thinking about dicks all the time, because you don't have to worry about that
How do I achieve this? where do I even start? How can I draw like Artgerm?

grind the fundamentals and study his style. i think he has a youtube with video process of some of his work, so you're in luck.
Finished this picture after roughly 4 months of off and on. I could only really do a little bit (IE head for a day, shirt the next) at a time and it just took forever. Some portions more tedious than others. The most annoying part was the arm rests... the tiny floral patterns took freaking forever as I was trying to draw actual floral patterns smaller than the tip of my pen.
work was on an 8.5x11 sheet of computer paper. .7mm ballpoint pen. Let me know what you think! Critique welcome.
Titled "The Ungrateful King"
Surrounded by gold and embroidery. Serfs and lords from all over the many manors he collects taxes from their domain and yet the king is unhappy. Born into a life of luxury and leisure and he is malcontent. Such is the life of the ungrateful king he spites even his throne costing more than several serf's homesteads combined, yet he puts his feet up on it in subtle disrespect.
>>3091842
thats not how you hold a wine glass
I think you took too much time to do it, but otherwise I like the design, the pose and the rendering is ok-ish. You could've been more subtle with a ballpoint pen.
He looks like he has no bones in his body. Like a sock filled with ground beef. His robe looks like icing. He's like..made out of cake and melting..slowly.

I was going to delete this until I thought about posting it here to see what others can do with this in their own style.
Tell us what it is first.

He's just critical of his country's regime, I prefer his political work over his other stuff.
How do I deal with forgetting almost every protip I get? I've read quite a few books on self improvement that included useful stuff but I always forget about it eventually. I mean I take some of it permanently but for example stuff chunking the biggest set of skills into small, manageable skills that can be mastered within 3 sessions of 30 mins - I dont remember it.
It started to make me really mad, because I cant fucking improve if I forget about all of this stuff. I try to practice it at least once after learning about it but it all eventually goes to hell. How the fuck can I keep it all in mind?
When studying any self improvement book, I tend to keep an organized notebook nearby to annotate (clearly, in my own words) anything that clicks with me. Any time I feel like I'm missing something, that notebook is my lifeline.
I suggest bound and handwritten notes for their convenience, but do what suits you.
Most people naturally can't retain everything they learn the first time around, so try to re-read chapters that don't stick, and revise your notes if you need to. With repetition comes retention.
Any good reads/etc. you might recommend?

>chunking the biggest set of skills into small, manageable skills that can be mastered within 3 sessions of 30 mins
I'm curious, how exactly does that work in relation to art? What would be examples of small, managable skills you can master in 3 30 minute sessions?

Hello I'm a student working for design research in Japan and I would like to ask you some questions.

1. OK
2. north korea
3. north korean soldier
4. malnourished and furious
5. extremely unpleasant
6. he spots me climbing out of the manhole cover. the soldier rushes to me taking his rifle off the safety. he raises it to me and shouts in north korean to not move. with a horrified expression i look at him and say DONT SHOOT! He apparently signals that he wants me to raise my arms and crawl out slowly. He really didn't think that command through as the only things I was holding onto were the sewer rungs. But as I am also panicking, I shoot my arms into the air and expectedly lose my footing. I fall backward back into the manhole and scrape the back of my head on the wall. I land on the bottom with a crash and sit on my wrist painfully. Above I can hear a scraping and cursing as the soldier tries to decide whether he should alert his superiors or confirm I am still down the hole. In a craze I manage to run through the sewer in the dark and make it back home.
