You suck, you ain't good.

Is Calarts a good school?
Yes and no
>care to explain?
Maybe
>>2436486
it has a great reputation. All that counts. From an outsider, it seems as though its the yale (but not the harvard) of art schools.
>>2436527
what's the harvard, RISD?
Looking for an artist to help us further define the flag of our new Canadian nationalist party. Looking for a polar bear in the style of Scotland's lion to contrast it.
Bump!
This is a great idea, OP
>>2436999
Don't go for obvious symbology. Instead focus on using pure colour and design. It's cleaner and easier to reproduce in media.
Also there is already a Canadian Nationalist party, work with them. What you boys have so far, sick of these immigrants. I'm cool with second gen but fuck all these goddamn pakis.

Draw from life, and apply Loomis.
not his problem if you're too stupid to understand it
that said, most of his books aren't for the absolute beginner
How do you get qts to pose for you without paying?
Make extremely good friends with them or date them. Otherwise you'll need to hire models or attend nude model sessions.
You ask them friendly, like some other anon here does. There is some skill in proper modelling though.
I just use a mirror so there's always a qt willing to pose for me ; )
Hey /ic/ whats your favorite survace to paint on?
I meant surface. Ugh.
>>2436859
Depends on the medium. I usually sketch and shit on printer paper.
I like Fabriano, but each sheet is expensive af.
I like the bond paper of 140gr

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

Why would you have a lantern on your stringed instrument? The weight would cause the wood to bend alternating the tune. And since its a swinging weight the bend wouldn't be consistent causing an absolutely horrible off-tune sound constantly.

Explains his audience at least.

>hiding feet
Its so obvious
So we recently had a realization thread about art and it was interesting and funny, I just had another epiphany and I think others may benefit from it.
TLDR; Share your artistic epiphanies

>>2436511
You do know that there are plenty of ways to just stretch them to the correct ratio as a batch in under a minute, right? Even just going through and doing it by hand would have been quicker than making your OP image. Photoshop macros (I'm guessing, I haven't used it in forever) or Gimp scripts could do this without even having to touch a terminal.
You'll loose some quality, but it's not like they're ruined.
>>2436515
Well skin is different due to subsurface scattering. For most things you darken and desaturate, for skin you darken and saturate.
I've always been an above average artist with pencil and pen. I finally bought a cheap graphics tablet to start learning graphic art. Pic related is what i made first. It felt a lot different than what im used to. Any tips for going forward? Im trying to do at least one drawing a day.
>>2435666
>dem devil trips tho
>>2435666
Hello, Satan.
For starters, read the sticky.
Secondly, use your tablet for everything you do online in place of a mouse. You'll adapt quickly.
Nope, nope...
Taking into account a possible lack of motor skills with the tablet and understanding of the software, you are not "an above average artist" with pen, pencil, crayons, markers, paint, dirt&stick, or whatever the fuck you choose.
There are so many issues with proportions, perspective, lighting, etc. that can't be chalked up to "derp it's a different medium der".
You're like some dipshit 4th grader that is better at multiplication than the other kids in class deciding he's better than the average mathematician even though not a single kid in the class, nor the teacher, qualify for use of the term. Oh, well, I know CPR, and I bet 90+ percent of the population doesn't because they have 0 interest. So, that makes me a better M.D. than the average person, right? No. It means you know CPR... 1 thing, and compared to actual doctors you would be tied for worst alongside everyone else that knows CPR and nothing else that pertains to the field... and you must see how silly that would be fore some asshat to say they're a better than average doctor because they count everyone in the population as a doctor. That's you. That is what you're doing right now.
You compare your work to people that don't draw and think it's better, and that's how your fucking dunning-kruger outlook on your garbage artwork has formed... how about you compare it to actual artists for a fucking change. It may humble your stupid ass enough to realize you're a below-average-shit at art, and a gay retard. Then you might recognize some of your mistakes and actually put forth an effort to improve rather than resting on laurels you don't have.
Here's a tip! Fuck you, you suck, your parents know you suck, your art teachers sucked, and you should probably enroll in trade school to be an underwater welder or some shit while you have the chance.
How did I do?
>>2435175
blog?
>>2435178
Not sure what you mean.

I am going to hang it on my imaginary fridge.

lol :)
mu shitposting, are you from the land of the kangaroo by any chance?
You draw like shit you fucking faggot bitch.
How do you train imagination?
I do studies and everything but when I have to create something from imagination I have literally 0 cool ideas most of the time, just generic shit.
your visual library m8 , look at the world around you
>>2430358
How do I visual library something like this?
>>2430365
You don't usually start with the finished product as an image in your head. You draw from things you know. You experiment and design.
Lots of people who do stuff like that do thumbnail sketches and quick designs before they settle on one to polish. They throw shit at the wall and see what sticks, and use different elements of different things they know.
What does /ic/ think of Draw a Box and their teaching program?
Is it worth doing?
I drew 250 vaginas. The instructions need to be clearer.

Were they in a box though?
