How much of talent is real?
>>2398881
it exists, i wouldnt say its that big of an effect.
Nobody is going to agree because people can't agree on a definition.
I think people who argue that natural aptitude doesn't exist at all are delusional. It feels to me like this "talent is a myth" idea stemmed from people losing patience with unskilled people saying "I'm not talented and that's why I'm bad at art."
Lack of talent is no excuse, you can always accomodate for not being 'a natural'. That doesn't mean talent doesn't exist. Some people just find shit more intuitive than others. Maybe art in general, more often certain aspects of art. I bet if you listed off the different skills in art like perspective, form, anatomy, lighting, construction, etc, you'd get different people saying they found different elements really easy or really challenging, because certain things were intuitive for them. Some people just get perspective, other people rack their brains and really struggle to figure it out. Trying to define around that being talent is just nitpicking because people have fixated on the 'no such thing as talent' idea.

This guy(who apparently is a veteran programmer in the gaming industry) is basically saying that if you are not born with talent and cannot do pixar level work at a young age, you have no hope of making it
What do you guys think?
that OP got no talent and should be banned from /ic/
>>2395350
The cunt is a programmer he has no say in the art side of things.
Any professional artist will tell you otherwise, and those are the people who've actually made it.
>>2395354 he claims to be an artist though his artwork is just "meh"

Who do you guys recommend for learning how the pelvis works?
What did you guys do to really understand it?
I'm doing a lot of studying from game art and sometimes it gets extremely hard to understand what's going on under the fabric, especially when they have some really dynamic perspective, and even when i'm doing gestures/studies from models sometimes it's still hard to understand how/where the pelvis is and how/why it's acting the way it is.
Also another thing i'm not understanding is how the pelvis works when you're in the air, I know when you're grounded the weight bearing leg makes the pelvis tilt in a certain way, but when you're falling/jumping I don't know how leg positioning affects the pelvic tilt
btw this pic right here is what I was talking about in the op, crazy perspective and pose
Your first mistake is studying league splash art. Riot cares more about flare then proper anatomy. That's not to say their art is bad mind you.
Poppy <3
>>2388139
I'm definitely aware that some of the artists anatomy isn't the greatest at times, but they're still awesome to learn from since the poses are usually very dynamic.
btw all the new poppy splashes that came with the rework are amazing.
rip me a new dip

why tho
Hey /ic/?
How do I sexualize both men and women in my drawings?
And can you redirect me to some artists that perfectly do that?
What exactly do you not understand?
Just look at hot models on Google, see how the men and women are like, exaggerate some features (smaller waist, wider hips on females, prominent adonis belt on males, bulge and breasts, etc)
>>2391464
to sexualize a woman draw a woman
to sexualize a man give him a suit
>>2391511
lol no.
we need more of these so ill host em
this is from some number of years ago, but its the only pixel art ive made
I downloaded gimp and made this on a whim. I can't actually draw for shit, but I might be able to get good at this kind of thing eventually.
Any tips or guides on how to get into pixel art?
I didn't see much about it on the wiki.
Art is a discipline of conveying truths that cannot be expressed by either philosophy or science. The aesthetics are a product of the verity of the work. Aesthetic enjoyment based on catharsis is using art as a junky, it is not true art anymore than porn is, a porn is used principally for erotic catharsis. Orthodox art (not excluding pre-schism Western styles), including music, ceremony, paintings, and so on, is an example of art par excellence.
>>2399189
Not necessarily trying to jump onto this potential 'debate' with full force, but I've started to think about this a bit lately. I mean, if art is just about making something pretty, I mean, what the hell's the point even? Sure, one could argue that good art is good because it's just good, but I'm just unsatisfied by one-dimensional art. And there seems to be so much of it. Granted, a lot of it is produced by young people still searching for their own image, and the rest is by veterans who couldn't care less about guiding the youth.
So my question is: What is the end that artists should reach for, through the means that is art, anyways?

>What is the end that artists should reach for, through the means that is art, anyways?
Ask that question to 100 artists and you'll get 100 different answers.
>>2399196
Modern art has been there already.
After WWI, art seemed to just lose its conventional meaning -- starting something called dada - the "art is just a concept" movement. Think Duchamp
what does /ic/ think of this guy?
https://www.youtube.com/user/InPursuitOfArt1
>>2399781
He's almost the Elliot Hulse of the Concept Art Industry aka he talks a lot of bs.
Nothing against him personally, he has the right idea to bash art school., but at the same time it's obvious he wants to be an internet celebrity and it's a bit off-putting, and he hasn't quite 'made it' yet with regards to his own work
What kind of music do you like to listen to when creating art. Personally i like Sade a lot. Other then that i listen to whatever, depending on my mood.
So generally this thread is for exploring and sharing music.

Hey guys. I saw this guys art. Names Julio Larraz. Can anyone tell me more about this style and help me find other similar artists?
>>2400385
Go away Julio.
Dude I promise I'm not Julio. He's an old ass Cuban guy
>>2400385
reminds me of david hockney. not too hot on the image you posted, but I googled him and he's got some nice stuff
Ic i am looking forward to get a new tattoo, how about pic related .
>>2400046
i expected this response , i wanted to ask /ic/ tho
I want to know what kind of art style this is, like maybe a specific name for it? I'm referring to the sorta cartographic aspects, with the circles and lines around the planets and all that crap.
It isn't.
Not every visual design element constitutes a unique style.
>>2399793
i agree with you anon, you know.
>>2399788
UI design.
Hey,d/ic/ks, I thought it'd be fun to do drawings from this website. I need some more practice drawing normal people, and right now I'm still nervous when drawing people in public. This lady stood out to me the most. There's a plethora of more people after you click on one of the pictures that are on the home page.
HOW TO ROLL (if you don't want to decide yourself): Use last last 2 digits to choose your image, count with the first digit to choose an album, then count with the second digit to land on the image you'll be drawing. If you get an environment just choose the person closest to it (unless you wanna draw that). If you get something like 70 use 7 both times.
And here's my initial attempt. I meant to focus more on line work and then started rendering poorly. I also meant to suggest the lines in her fabric and messed that up. Confused shading methods as well. Hopefully I'll do better with the next one and less high school tier. Consider this a roll for me.
>>2390441
Oops, forgot the website: http://earthsworld.com
Trying to bring this from the dead and rollin' again. (I have to work on my first roll too, but hey.)
