So I was bored today and I've been watching the Harry Potter marathon all day on ABC Family. Never saw any of the movies but whatever I'm pretty smitten with the wizard world. Design wise from castles, house, clothing it's all very interesting and something that makes me want to draw.
How do people come up with wonderful ideas like this for art direction? I want to create my own ideas without stealing these.
Also, I gotta say that Hermione character got fucking sexy as fuck in like 2 years time. Goddamn.
IIRC it's pretty standard victorian era design. Also a fair warning, don't fall in love with Emma Watson she's a hardcore feminist.
AHHH

post yours
also there was a guy who posted his tumblr a few weeks ago whos work i'm trying to find again. we discussed how you got popular on tumblr by doing fan art (steven universe i think) and i asked if you worked professionally. you said you were a student. i think somewhere in europe, the netherlands maybe. your work was in between cartoony and realistic. there was a backpacked character i mentioned i really liked. sorry for the giant spam i just wanted to look at your art again if anyone has any clues as to who im talking about please point me in their direction
if anyone can help out it'd be appreciated. he did a lot of somewhat stylized portraits. pretty good draftsmanship forgot to mention
lot of linear works with pretty flat shading from what i recall
I don't know

How to learn to draw more expressively? How does one stop drawing things that are rigid or boring and with personality that coerce emotion from the viewer?
>>2433576
You draw with your dick.
>>2433576
exaggeration
Confidence and exaggeration. Get good at gesture.
Stiffness when you're learning is inevitable if you're trying to be precise and you're not confident in your subject matter. There's a reason lots of artists say their sketches feel more 'dynamic' than their finished pieces, it's less precise but it's more lively.
Really experienced artists have just done it so much that they can be both precise and quick, and know where and when to bend the rules/exaggerate.
And it should go without saying but study artists you like for their expressiveness. Try and figure out what it is they're doing that makes you tick.
What name do you post your art under and how did you choose it?
It seems like every name I like is already taken on deviantart and tumblr. I need an original name, but I want it to be simple and memorable.
Also, do you think it looks less respectable if an artist uses dashes, hyphens, x's or numbers at the end of their name?
Sup /ic/. The story is long and boring so you might skip some parts. But im kinda shocked right now and 4chan is the only person i can share this with.
So...i have a friend that i talk to sometimes in a normiebook. He is a guy older than me from music industry.
Once i had a serious problem with life and he talked to me giving life-advices and other stuff like that and in return i drew his portrait which he put on an avatar and other normies liked it calling me "very talented :-)".
This basically was our friendship/bonding thing.
Later he suggested me to work on an animation video for his music track. We talked about it with couple-three messages and got excited.
The thing is...i thought he was suggesting me a job. And i will work with him later when i will be free from my current project im being busy with.
In reality...today when i talked to him it turned out like he was expecting me to draw it FOR FREE all this time...and he thought i actually already have something to show.
I was shocked. I had no idea that he actually expected me to do all that hard work for free.
Dont get me wrong - i suffered from "Hey mr.Artist! do this for me for EXPERIENCE AND EXPOSURE :D" bullshit many times but it was back in the day when i was starting to draw.
And i had no idea that a person who is an artist himself from a music industry would actually ask me to draw animation of a song (that means more than 3 minutes) for free.
I sent him a message politely explaining that "um...am i understood you right?" and explaining that it's a hard work that no sane artist would do without payment.

The thing is...i dont actually have friends irl. Only clients in the internet and friends that i found through drawing days.
I was so excited to have this person as a friend. I was under imression of "Oh wow! i have a friend who is a guy from music industry!" feel. And i don't want to loose him.
In the other hand...im starting to think that if this person actually was expecting me to do a full animated video for free then he might not respecting me...
How to save this friendship?
Anyone been in such a tricky/confusing situation?

What was the last art book you purchased?
'S-Curves' and 'Lily and Flinch' by Shane Glines and Bill Presing's Sketchbook.
I know you said "last" but I bought those all at the same time.

How do you learn how to do these typical ID sketches with 0 drawing skills?
I am asking because here people seem to be focused on drawing in general and especially on people. But for ID I wouldn't need that. The focus is on geometric shapes and quick drawings with simple shadows and low detail. Pretty much the opposite of what I see people here aspiring to do.
So: how do I start as someone who can't draw straight lines and only shapes from isometric perspective? Is there one book that starts from level 0, expecting no previous drawing skills?
If you study/ied ID: how did you start?
Start by drawing simple shapes like cubes, cones and spheres. Working from life would be best. You can make these shapes out of wood, use common objects, or purchasing them (most toy stores would have basic shape blocks for little kiddies you can use).
Don't be afraid to use a straight edge ruler, a compass, or a french curve (a curved flat tool to use as a guide to draw curved lines) to make your marks since these are supposed to be technical drawings.
Eventually when you become confident with basic shapes, you can graduate to doing studies of everyday mechanical objects around your house.
>>2432465
How exactly do you do studies? Just trying to draw what you see right away or try to construct it out of shapes?
