Stop trying to draw complex things.

the point of being an artist isn't to git gud

the point is to keep drawing until your arm falls off or you get old and die

SO DRAW BOI, DO IT UNTIL YOU GIT GUD AND ACQUIRE AN INCOME

pick up some bob ross stuff. seems straight forward enough

ugh no I want a legit painting technique for traditional painting, I'm not a sunday painter

Get gamblin 1980 oil paint or winsor newton winton oil paint,

gamsol, linseed stand oil, and refined linseed oil. Have two large glass containers or "silicoil tank"s filled with gamsol for cleaning your brushes. Have one small glass container with gamsol for dipping your brush before you apply initial layer of paint. And have one small glass container filled with mixture (shake it) of 2/5 linseed stand oil, 2/5 refined linseed oil and 1/5 gamsol - for dipping brushto mix with paint for subsequent layers.

Do not prime the canvas with a color but start painting by leaving it blank white to reveal the whitest white. Then use burnt umber on brush made very wet and thinned with gamsol and gently draw the basic shapes as if you were doing watercolor. If you make a mistake smudge out the part you want erased with a clean brush wet and thinned with gamsol.

Once you get down the shapes of the main figure, start coloring in the parts with colors you want - whether it's literal representation or a limited palette or imaginary. For this initial layer of paint, dip the brush in gamsol. Once you lay down all of the initial layer and fill up the canvas, start mixing paint with the 1/5 2/5 2/5 mixture before applying it to the canvas.

If you make a mistake and need to work over the area, scrape off excess paint with palette knife before proceeding. It's also good to wait for paint to dry.

Constantly mix paint with palette knife, wipe knife with a paper towel or rag, apply paint with brush thinned with gamsol or mixture, clean brush on paper towel or rag, then clean brush again with container of gamsol, then dry brush on paper towel or rag, and repeat the process.

Feedly, take a rip through the feeds avalible for "fine art", "contemporary art"

>>2457868
Yes! I made an account earlier today and have spent a decent chunk of time collecting feeds. This is great!

I have yet to connect with art sites though, and I've also haven't deposited much trust on those kind of "most popular" feed results, as I assume they cater to the lowest common denominator, but if you say so, I'll check them out.

Study Western masters. Araki drew heavily from Italian artists like Da Vinci and Michelangelo.
Look at fashion magazines and draw from them too.

poor little guy

Looks generic and illegible, so about as good as your average shittag.

You know what would actually be impressive and stand out from the bland, repetitive shit taggers pump out? If they tried doing gorgeous, calligraphy/cursive. Something that takes serious and unique talent

>>2457449
No, it doesn't really need to be talked every week.

>>2457450
Every week? I don't lurk /ic/ like I used to. I'm more used to this shit being spammed on /co/ every other day. So what's the overall census?

>>2457449
for every painting of a tumblr nose there is an equivalent cheesy paintings of dragons and spacemarines.

why choose an already stylized image? get a photo. I think it is better to have the connection to reality.

To absorb his style.

I wouldn't post any of the violent images here, but he's my personal favorite hentai artist in terms of light work.

>>2456687
Who draws metal gear stuff. Or the castlevania stuff. Those are nice IMO.

I can't tell if you're baiting or what.

>what should I do???
Do some sketches, thumbs, concepts, as they are in your mind, write what you think down on a page. See if it makes sense. Probably shelve it for now.
