Wanted a shelf for all my screen printing stuff (inks, drawing fluid, random tools...etc.) found some old deck boards on the side of the road, that someone was throwing away, used some left over pine boards I had from other jobs. Spray paint was 5 different reds, black, and brown ( I didn't want the same color anywhere on it, like no shadow was the same as the one next to it, if that makes any sense.) Two days of non stop carpentry, plus painting time, and I ended up with this. Was trying to go for a skyscraper type of shelf with even 12x12 shelves. I saw a pergola that looked really cool, driving home from work the second day and was like why has nobody ever put a pergola on a shelf? so i did... XD .... anyways, what are thoughts/opinions???

Serious question faggots.
If you don't like to draw, why do you come to our loomis hood (God bless him) and complain drawing is too hard, you're not gonna make it, how do I do it?

Literally you may as well kill yourself fampai.
Fucking faggots, if you don't like to draw, then do another thing.

>but money
just learn a trade retards.

Sick of your BS, asking for the same garbage advice: DRAW A LOT, GRIND FUNDIES.

JUST DRAW, DRAW EVERYDAY.

>but drawing is too hard, I don't enjoy it, how do I motivate myself to draw
Kill yourself.

Whenever I draw from the chest or the pelvis I always have difficulty placing the head, it's either too close to the chest or too far away. Is there a fix for this?

Some say socialist-realism, but googling it provides all kinds of different paintings, only a few are vaguely similar.

This piece is made by the "Mansudae Art Studio" in the DPRK. They sell their paintings but do not do commissions. I would like something similar to pic related but more "American"

This piece was originally meant as a gift for a good friend and family member, but I wanted to share it with you.

I was going to buy an Obama Poster, but although I like Shepard Fairey's version (you've seen it, trust me), the eyebrows seemed a bit too dark and the jaw too wide. It bugged me enough to make my own. And I knew if I was going to stand up to Shepard Fairey, I was going to have to a dang good job.

Shepard's influences are similar to my own (graffiti + skate + propaganda), but Shepard's work has a much darker feel.

I began by sketching out the highlights and shadows like I usually do. Often, in order to bring the gender differences to the forefront, I'll draw females and males differently. Males frequently have straighter, angular lines, and females will have smooth curves. I spent nearly two months on this piece off and on (in between a lot of other projects), and let the my mood guide me a whole lot more. Combining smooth and straight lines had an interesting effect, making a much more painterly feel.

The result is a piece that is much more layered and complicated than my usual work, and the muted tones allow me to pull out variations in his skin that Shepard wasn't able to achieve because of his 4-colour palette.

Can someone explain lighting to me? Like i know a few basic things. But i feel like there's more out there to understand.

Short light is supposed to make the character look slimmer and adds more depth and Broad light makes a character look larger but also flattens the figure out.

Hard light is better for revealing tiny details while Soft lighting is better for making things look smoother and flattering.

I know that high atmospheric lighting can make something a chill/friendly look while low atmospheric lighting can make it look more serious/dramatic.

The color of the light affects the mood.

Generally speaking you want to have your lightsource be infront-above-left or right of your figure. which highlights their face/bust area.

I know that it's good to have only one main lightsource.
I know that if carefully placed, rim lighting can help your character pop off from the background.

I know that shadows/cast shadows purpose are to describe the form of an object or figure and can and should be adjusted or removed if they act against that.

What else is there? What other tidbits of information do you have swimming around in your mind when it comes to lighting?

you know you could be practicing painting rather than browsing 4chan, right?

I've made some fast gains simply by limiting 4chan.

I don't know what to draw in order to improve. I look at a reference thread and it's either something terrible or something I've done before and it would not add much to my skills. But when I do find an image, I work on it a lot of hours, I never do quick studies (it means I can move on). Where do I find references that actually help in getting better? What should I draw in order to improve (generally speaking)?

my father is a good writer, he wrote and published a few novels and he's interested on writing scripts for comics, maybe a short animation. since it's more like a hobby, there's no way he could invest significant amounts of money on it. all I can draw are some low tier characters that only boards that make requests enjoy, and drawing has nothing to do with my profession.
I personally find the idea really nice and I have autistic standards for fiction.

is there anyway my oldman could have his scripts turned into reality?
