Number 15 is funny
>>2427138
what am i looking at here
>>2427138
I think these are smeared logos because number 2 is obviously the Windows logo but I can't place any of the others, so I guess Windows wins best logo design in this case?
Hey /ic/
i've set up a website to host some of my drawing. its still raw and all of the drawings are pre photoshopped / polished but I'd really appreciate a bit of traffic and a follow on my instagram (if you like my stuff of course).
Attached one of my bits :)

wow
>>2434818
i liked the armored cyborg robot dude. but honestly if you are serious about you need to forget about posting anywhere and making a website, and focus on acquiring actual skill.
>>2434855
The website isn't a place for sales, just for me to stash my stuff and chronicle my journey through it.
Thanks for the feedback on it :)
Help.
Its supposed to be a girl, not a guy with long hair :p. Any constructive criticism is welcome :).
kill urself ma man

I'm making a game and don't have money for a professional artist, and have no clue how to draw actual art.. I feel like it needs more curves to look girly but I don't know where.
grils have beebies
The standard of industry artwork seems to be rising each month. It's starting to get really insane now with all the asians entering the western market.
The work from people like Djurdjevic (pic related), Android Jones, Wesley Burt or Jason Chan from 2007 wouldn't even be able to compete nowadays. The only reason they're even getting work today is because they made names for themselves pre-2010.
Opinions?
>>2431405
Don't you like challenges anon?
>>2431405
You're dumb. You'd literally have to be retarded to not find work if you had the skill level of Djurdjevic or Wes Burt. 99% of working professionals are worse than they are and are doing just fine.
>>2431407
I do and I know the high standard is pushing my work subconsciously but I also want to be able to earn money and eat something every once in a while.
So I'm a med student. I used to draw all the time as a kid but somewhere I lost the thrill and never picked up back up. Now years later, I'd like to try to get back into art and drawing. In clinics it's best to draw for the patients so they can best understand where doctors will be cutting for surgery or showing them what and where organs are or even combining organs together after removing one like for example pancreaticoduodenectomy. Anyway because of this I've found the will to draw again, I have a couple artist acquaintances and one of them told me to purchase a wooden doll to practice lighting, poses, angles etc. Well, the doll is shit. The range of motion is shit and the limbs never stay in place they spring back. Are there any figures to practice with that you guys would recommend?
You will never find a artist mannequin that has the same proportions or range of motion as the human body. Personally I only use mannequins to help figure out general positioning, general foreshortening, and general blocking/lighting for composition. If you want to study the human form, I would recommend doing studies from photographs and going to nude model sessions at local art workshops/colleges.
If you feel a mannequin will help you, try the Art S. Buck Anatomical Figure.
>>2428713
You are looking to do something very specific from art. You don't need to be a great artist with thorough fundamentals to make quick anatomical sketches for patients. I would suggest instead to just study medical anatomical art. You'll cut down the time you need to spend studying art tenfold, and as a med student, you most certainly do not have the time to go down the same road as your art school friends.

>I have tasted hell
Hey /ic/ I've been really interested in the type of art pictured lately but have no idea what the style of it is called. A simillar artists name is called mcbess if you need more of any idea. Just curious on what the style is if any one knows??
Why has a nutsack been skewered by an arrow?
degenerate faux-tattoo pop trash art . its fucking awful
its trying to hard, the style
lets see some drawings. unloading all of mine just started free hand so not that good.
Something you should know about critiques.
Critiques are only valuable if they are from someone with an understanding of art.
If not the critiques are worthless and often bad advice that will make your work even worse.
Never take critique from someone who's skills aren't equal to or greater than yours.
If you cannot realize yourself whether or not a critique is correct, regardless how good or bad the person is who gave it, then you are probably never going to make it. You lack the intelligence and critical thinking necessary for improvement.
>>2432251
not necessarily. any critique may be valuable to someone who is able to be mindful toward viewing their own work. perhaps if you're not capable of that, and therefore not capable of critiquing your own work to an extent, then only instructional critique from those more skilled than you will help.
but otherwise you should be able to glean valuable information from any feedback you may receive.
Does a guy need to be a chef to know if their food is too salty or too dry? Knowing the ins and out of the craft helps, but only having pedestrian knowledge of it doesn't completely invalidate the critique either. In the end, it's up to the individual's best judgement if they should take the critique given and how to apply it.
Also given the nature of /ic/, it would be impossible/impractical/against the spirit of the board to constantly be toting around credentials in order to validate what we have to say.
What are some other good communities for a beginner/ aspiring digital artist?
>>2434801
Google plus
>>2434845
my sides...
>>2434801
try deviantart or DrawCrowd (a lot of people hate dA but is still a big community you'll get likes/comments for any crap you upload) there's tumblr ()little better than dA, and for most professional work try behance or artstation. recently i've seen a lot of people using instagram/twitter for their artsy stuff...
>>2434864
first time I've heard of draw crowd.
but boy if it isn't the most laggy art community website on mobile I've ever visited. even dA and pixiv doesn't lag this bad.
Hi /ic/,
slowly I want to start my freelance career.
I noticed patreon would be a nice way to get some money on the side. But unfortunately since january 2015 there was a problem with patreon because of VATMOSS (mini one stop shop law). Which means that you will have to pay individual sales tax for digital trading from europe.
I found this update about patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/1817433
My business english is not the best, that's why my question is:
Is it possible to have a patreon as an european artist now?
Anyone here from europe that uses patreon and pays his taxes correctly?
(Another question:
I'm from germany and currently my income is too low to have to pay any kind of taxes. Does that mean I don't have to pay the sale taxes from the income at patreon at all? Or are sales tax not included in the "you don't have to pay taxes because you are too poor"-law?)
>>2434385
fellow german anon checking in. this will be my first year where i'll actually have to pay taxes, and i'm researching all of this shit indepth atm. can't give you anything useful right now though.
Don't forget we're governments cows.
>>2434385
If you have a bit of income, how about visiting someone who know tax law and can help you with it?
I mean tax advisor or something. In my fucked up country you need to pay taxes if your income pass 1000$ per year.
My step-dad's step-dad (Robert H. Blair) just past away at 3:30am on the 8th. This was one of his paintings.
I feel sad. He was a really awesome grandpa.
Another one.
Any similar artwork can be posted. I just want to remember my grandpa.

Needs more Loomis
>>2434247
Looks good. I like the composition, subtle but working.
i wonder how long will it take to reach range murata's level...
Two to three years studying mostly the human body and paibtung for 12+ hours a day.
>>2434209
what is it with i/c always thinking that they will reach the level of people who are the best in their sub-industry like it's a given we all will given enough time?
I don't want to be spoonfed but it's there a list of exercise subjects, like those fit guides?
Like:
Day 1 : Master cubes
Day 2 : Master cilinders
Day 3 : Point one perspective
Day 4 : Values
and so on?
if there's no such training guide, can we make it and made it into a pastebin?
I think Drawabox (google it) handles things in a way that might work for you. It has everything in a lesson-by-lesson format.
No, but you can hire an art instructor or mentor to make one for you and track your progress.
>>2431505
drawabox does exactly that

PHOTOCOPIER
weve done this thread before fuck off seriously
I need our advice, I'm a shitty artist, trying to copy off of others and going through loomis and drawabox. I'm at the point where I want to draw daily and make money off of that, that's the one thing I enjoy. So I thought getting into tattooing would do the trick, as a lot of tattoo artists aren't real artist. No offence but it seems like you just copy and trace. that's not exactly what i want but it would be a start.
I'm interested in getting a apprenticeship, give me your advice here, what would you as a tattooer like to see? what should i put in my portfolio? how should i present my self?
What should i bring? my sketchbook? Or just finished works? should i be pretentious and act like i only come up with photorealism or oldschool?
halp
go kill yourself
>>2433883
All of the tattoo artists I've know are egomaniac borderline-junkies. Compliment them, demonstrate that you're competent at producing "tattoo style" work (ie, oldschool sailor jerry crap like your pic related), appear to conform to the copy-trace norm, while perhaps displaying a bit of creativity (but not too much because it would probably turn them off)
Once you're in you can drop the act and start building client relationships, and taking creative liberties with people that trust you etc. Just remember that you'll have to churn out a lot of cherry blossoms and anchors either way. Don't be resentful of this thinking it gets in the way of your "real art". It's for $$.
