What is everyone here opinion of drawing porn of real people like actresses/actors etc? I have a client who would like me to draw an actress for them in a sexual situation. Normally I wouldn't do it but they are offering $120

who is this testicle receptacle
I've drawn a girl the commissioner had a crush on, IIRC she was in one of his classes. I just asked for private commission fee and never posted it.
I don't see a single problem with it. Some people have some kind of moral thing to not draw a real person?
Ok so I'm having this problem, for some reason it just doesn't look like the original material can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong
here's my quick sketch

Why do most artists, like, artists you meet in real life, never even consider study from books and such but are fine with going to art school?
>>2442035
Because that is mental approach that prevails in society. I learned more from books and studying other artists than my friend who went into art academy.
Also it is worth nothing it depends on art school. There are few really good ones that will really teach you the trade and not sell you modern art shenanigans. But do you really want to risk it, with huge chance of art school being a scam, when you can learn from books, internet and from studying other artists?
Art is also a lot about connections, which are easier to make in school. You meet professors, many of whom work in the fields you're interested in, you get internship opportunities through the school, and you get to meet and connect with many of your peers which will help you in your career. Also, if there's a particular artist who is a professor you want to study under, their personal, in person feedback is invaluable.
You also have access to extensive resources, this way you can try out many things without having to invest a lot of time and energy and money on equipment you may never use. also useful if youre into the traditional media. Many print studios for example wont let you use their equipment unless youve had prior training.
It's easier to go to school really, then self-teach. You have in-person guidance from people in the industry/more skilled. You have structured classes. You're given assignments. You get live feed-back from professors and your peers. You have access to a ton more resources than on your own (and facilities to house those resources and instructors to help you use them). You can make connections. You're basically dedicating several years to studying art full-time, as opposed to on the side while you work/do shit.
Doing this book right now, do the view finders have to be the exact sizes they say? or does it just matter than one hole is bigger than the other?

throw that book away... bert dodson keys to drawing better

The only thing that matters is that the aspect ratio of your viewfinder matches the aspect ratio of your drawing. If your height//width ratio differs, your drawing will be all sorts of fucked up. Also post in the questions thread in the future.

Nice.
So I found an atelier and a lot of their students have really good work. The problem is it expensive, but I can afford it as I work full time and it only weekends.
Are atelier a meme?
Is the sight size method good?
Will I be able to draw cute anime girls with classical drawing skills?
Pic related is one of the tutors work.
I drop out of an art course as we didn't do any drawing and instead was doing modern art garbage.
It's actually one of the unique spaces where you get useful training at art. But it's expensive, so take use of their knowledge intensively and train at home. Don't stay there too many hours, as you're gonna pay for working on it yourself.
>>2431889
your greatest asset is having a teacher to guide you in the right direction. help you right your wrongs. if i didnt live in the middle of buttfuck nowhrere id try to go to an atelier.
If can afford it, well yeah, go for it.
Good afternoon /ic/, never-lurking first time poster here. This is probably going to be a more lengthy OP than you guys are used to, but I can't think of a better board to go to.
I get that most threads in here are painting/drawing related, but I'm wondering whether anons can entertain the idea of discussing subjects ranging from conceptual discourse and relational aesthetics to performance, installation and appropriation of found object/raw materials, personal items, etc.
I'm a BFA (Hons.) Alumni of City & Guilds of London Art School, graduated from the Painting Department in 2008. Half of my graduation show contained sculpture/installation.
I'm a multidiciplinary artist, having produced a number of exhibitions, both solo and curating for group shows, been published twice (poetry) and been running a studio in two different locations for the past 14 years. Predominantly I work in painting and installation, but I see the studio situation as a performative vantage point for relational work, and have adopted Bruce Nauman's approach to art making.
I am also a devotee of The Metamodernist Manifesto
(cont.)
Pic related, it's one of my sculptures.
The studio I've had for the past five years has been part of a project, operating on the boundary between reality and fiction, where I've been posing as a gallery-runner who's continuously working on getting his venue up and running (my studio is 200 square meters with a store-front, on a high street,) gaining some renownment among other gallery workers and the director of the local art museum, and seen as an asset by many in the local art community. In addition, I've been advertising commissions, given secret tutorials at the local art academy, was a board member for a open studio fair, and the past year I've been tutoring amateur painters in my studio.
The time has come for me to move out of my current studio, and I see this as a logical point to finalise the project, moving the content from a commercial website and presenting it as a work of art on my portfolio website. To summarize, I've created a whole situation surrounding my artistic practice, occupying space rather than showing much "real" work. Now I want to transform what most people have believed to be a failed artist-run gallery space and studio, and reveal it as a demonstration of a real-world institutional critique piece, centered around the building that houses my studio, with strong notions of personal doubt and avoidance when forced to confront the bastardized art world of post-modernism. I want the audience to adopt the work as an attempt to cast light on the problem our culture is facing when artists who found themselves interested in art for the sake of producing magnificent paintings, end up making incomprehensible gender-issue bullshit, void of aesthetic beauty, due to their formal marxist education.
Any thoughts?
Pic Related, it's my studio during an exhibition of sculptural photography by a local artist.
Been painting for 10hrs, too tired to think.
But I love you
Great work, but even though /ic/ is for art, the board is mostly populated by people who do representational art.
I feel like i'm slowly losing interest in art recently. And by recent, I mean for the past 3 months. I spend only about 10 mins on something before I scrap it and try again in a few days.
what does /ic/ do in times like these?
>>2442777
jerk off and play dota.
>>2442777
please be week one
>>2442777
I'm actually on the same boat as you anon, with the exception that sometimes I spend 20mins on sketching random shit and get bored afterwards. Sometimes ending up slowly building one page with a sketch a day, makes me feel quite autistic desu.
Perhaps do a day of what theme you like to do (e.g. people, creature and/or paleo art) and try to fill a couple of pages of ketches or, if you do digital, do more than 3 speedpaints or observation studies. All of this while listening to calming cinematic music scores sometimes helps.
What do you guys think about how I drew my girlfriend? Does she looks alike? How can I make it better?
now do it from memory
>>2441605
its flat and the nose and mouth are pretty shit
This is a silly question but, does anyone any tips on making a good and legible.
>>2444221
yes is called "you don't need a signature"
>>2444221
a watermark of your signature
>>2444243
Then how will ADs find you when they see your work on some random interwebs site? Because apparently ADs are too fucking stupid or lazy to use tineye or google reverse image search.
What software does /ic/ use for face modelling etc.? Or do you use perhaps some games instead of it?
blenders sculpting tool with dyntopo and symmetry mode enabled
I've also used zbrush in the past, which is pretty popular
I don't think it really matters what you use, as long as you can sculpt the thing you want to sculpt using your tablet without too much trouble. At least I'm not using the results directly anyway.

It doesnt really matter on how late you start but how many hours you spend and how you spend them
So, I'd like to share this and listen to some critics, what do you guys think?
If you can't be bothered to correct the orientation of your image correctly why should anyone care about giving you helpful critique?
>>2443748
>correctly
Dude I have a damn phone that has become self aware so I struggle a lot and i currently dont have a scaner! Could you bear with me?
>>2443745
>not in the draw thread
>sideways image
>gives lip to people the people who are going to take time to critique him
took a little too long to realize this was a bait thread to be honest family
I went to the art store today and bought like +$300 worth of art supplies I dont need (pic related). Not the first time I do it. How do I fix this problem /ic? cant walk into an art store anymore... sigh got me some prismacolor and carbothello, and some cheap oil pastels too
put it on ebay
>>2423645
You use it. Fun fact, wheat paste and watercolour pigment mix very well. Use for coloured transparent paste in collage.
have a budget
only take a certain amount of money with you
ask yourself if you really need it or can it wait
