Define "going".
Hey, /ic/. What exactly is depth perception?
I was born with only one functioning eye, and I wanted to know if my lack of an eye would affect drawing or something.
>>2389849
my boyfriend has a lazy eye (not the droopy kind, thank fuck), and i notice that he tends to draw things at a pretty noticeable slant
Your pupils are about 2.5" apart give or take, the difference in viewing angle hits the brain and it figures out how far away that thing is and give a sense of the shape.
It's a good practice to pick an eye to observe from anyway as switching between them can cause inconsistencies.
There are probably artists that use it to their advantage but I don't really know and it seems like something that would require pretty heavy specialization to exploit in a meaningful way.

Why did you ignore the question thread.
ill try making one anon
ill be bak

I'm not even sure if this is the board I should be posting this in but it did seem like the most relevant.
So basically I'm looking to buy a drawing tablet, I bought a Wacom pad not that long ago but I find myself really not that fond of looking up at the screen when I draw instead of down like I am used to. I am in the market for something like a Cintiq Companion 2 and I was wondering if any of you had any advice on the matter.
I have enough to buy even the most expensive model of CC2, but some of the higher end models seem a bit unnecessary. I mean it's $500 more for a model that only seems to add 250GB of internal storage and that seems pretty crazy, is their any other benefit to the higher end models? I take it you can but in SD and Micro SD cards to help with the storage issue anyways.
Also wondering if anyone is familiar with any of the alternatives to Cintiq's that I should perhaps be considering or if there is anything else I should know before I make my decision.
Any advice is greatly appreciated, if this isn't where I should be posting this feel free to tell me to fuck off and where to fuck off to.

Do you need a whole new computer too? Cintiqs function like other wacom drawing pads, but they're simultaneously a second monitor. The Cintiq Companion is something different than other Cintiqs in that it's a full computer as well. If you already have a good enough desktop or laptop, you could save money by getting one of the other non-companion cintiqs. In that scenario, you can also consider other manufacturer's drawing tablets with a screen, as they'll cost a fraction of the price.
If you are set on a cintiq, and you do need a new computer, but you don't need the portability, then you should consider building a new desktop and buying a cintiq 13HD. Going that route you can make something that's overwhelmingly more powerful than the CC2 (which has been on the market for a year and could get an update) and you'll save a few hundred bucks in the process depending on your build.
If you need a new computer and it has to be a laptop, then there are a few alternatives that you should research. There are offerings from microsoft in the surface pro and surface book lines (powered by NTrig). Lenovo still makes convertible tablet pcs, as do other companies I assume. Check out the forums over at tabletpcreview to find out whats new and what users experience with these types of devices.

That is interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I have a good PC already and I wouldn't really be drawing anywhere besides in my house so I will look into the Cintiq 13HD.
I appreciate the advice.
>>2382734
The first models of Cintiq must have come out a long time ago, they need fucking adapters to go into an HDMI port.
is scott robertsons method of building forms useful or is it a bullshit overly complex waste of time for anyone not going into industrial design
seriously going through his videos makes me want to find him and shove his ellipse guides up his ass
Once you know how to do this shit it makes eyeballing perspective on objects easier. Usually draw cross sections when I'm sketching so it works, but I tend to skip most of the extreme perspective measurement. Doing it was helpful in the long run, though.
>>2394315
You don't have to use the whole procedure for every little drawing. All his exercises teaches you one main thing:
The ability to eye ball the convergence of paralell lines in perspective. When you can do that to a reasonable degree, construction becomes so much easier even when you're drawing figures and other organic forms.
With that said, it really helps to practice all the steps. It teaches you how to thing spatially on paper.

>is it a bullshit overly complex waste of time for anyone not going into industrial design
He has a very exhausting way to describe it but its mostly useful.
Painters.....please help me. I am taking a colour theory course currently and we are mixing chromatic greys. How do I do this?? It always ends up some kind of brown or green mud. It looks awful and nothing like it should. We are using liquitex acrylic paint on Bristol board (shit).
>>2394099
to make grey look grey, saturate it very slightly with the opposite color of the color it is painted in. sort of giving it inverse temperature. let me demonstrate.
>>2394106
meh. can't replicate it. thought i understood it, i don't. sry!

These artists/art pieces seem to have special color/hue thing going on, where attention to detail has been paid to varying the hues and adding bits of colors that at times (to me) seem odd and unintuitive. However, although these colors feel unusual, and sometimes untrue to life, the overall image still feels realistic (and doesn't cross over into the surreal).
Some of the color choices I can understand, such as bounced light from the sky, grass/ground and surroundings, and some understandable subtle hues (faint colors of veins and arteries beneath skin) appear to have been exaggerated into brighter pinks and blues. And yet, there are cases where the artist paints the 'right' colors that wouldn't have been there (even faintly) in a reference or real life equivalent.
What is the logic behind these color choices? How much is training the eye to pick up on and exaggerate faint hues that appear in real life and how much is purely an aesthetic choice/artistic liberties? And in the case of the latter, why do these colors WORK?
>What is the logic behind these color choices? How much is training the eye to pick up on and exaggerate faint hues that appear in real life and how much is purely an aesthetic choice/artistic liberties?
Could be logic, could be intuition. Could be the artist has an affinity toward a certain palette/combo of colors.
And in the case of the latter, why do these colors WORK?
Their values are correct. If your values and drawing are correct you can basically get away with murder.
value>temperature>shape design>hue
if your value hierarchy and temperature structure are solid, you can be pretty liberal w/ the hues.
it's the meeting point of the structural logic of the subject matter and the abstract compositional logic of the shapes/colors
robh ruppel sort of talks about this in simpler terms

ruanjia's studies also demonstrate the thought process pretty well
At what point did you stop trying to draw art that was cool in place of pornography
>be me in elementary school
>all I wanted to do was learn how to draw so I could animate cool fight scenes and characters
>now majority of WIP folder is full of fucking porn im too ashamed to share with any one
>haven't made any SFW material in months
>>2391762
Just make some SFW drawings now
Nothing's stopping you

How should the hair look like so that it would follow the style? does this style have a name?
Also looking for general criticism
It's a quiff.
This is my submission. It's a kobold from warcraft. I painted this on the Krita program.
>>2393737
It's pretty bad in terms of painting but awesome for what it is. I always loved the wc3 kobolds with their candle on their head. Coolest fucking unit ever.
>>2393794
any tips?
>>2393920
draw from life. that's the only thing that works.

Still a great service though; probably the best deal out there,I guess I'll just keep my subscription going like I should have been to begin with.
Who /NMA/ here?
Rey Bustos is the niggest
You got any videos? Or torrents to videos? I want to check that shit out.
Was on there for a couple of months, it's great. Cancelled by sub though, got some art books for christmas to work through and don't want to pay for something I won't be using to it's fullest. But I'll be back.
>>2387309
They've got an official youtube where they have some great life drawing videos (no instruction, just timed poses), and a full 3 hour lesson by Steve Huston on basic head structure. Might be a few more freebies, nothing I recall though.
>>2387315
Yeah, Ive gone through the stuff they have on youtube, was hoping maybe someone has the other videos uploaded somewhere. I was planning on subbing anyway tho.
