Do those 20 squats fag
While learning how to think in 3D through still lives, is it counter productive to do drawings from imagination, or is it vital to apply what you are learning?
Drawing from imagination helps you give something to compare HOW you're learning to WHAT you're learning. Study still lifes or from other references and then test yourself by doing some from imagination. Compare, contrast, make changes and go at it again.

Thanks man
Okay, /ic/, help a brother out.
I'm a new artist working my way through drawing and I've about completed the better part of the Dodson book, but I'm having trouble really increasing my grasp of fundamentals, and as a result I feel that I'm not improving nearly as fast as I could be.
I come from a musical background where technical improvement is something that can be pretty clearly mapped out in terms of the grind. I can grind scales for technical precision, then learn or write a song to apply, I see the order of things and it makes sense.
What's the equivalent fundamental practice and application cycle for drawing? I don't mind grinding something mind numbing for hours, and in fact I kinda enjoy it, but I'm not certain what that entails in this case. What's the scale + metronome combo for drawing? Do I just draw hundreds of still lives back to back with additional hundreds of figures? I'm interested in comic book art in the long run, if that matters, but I want to learn realism well for obvious reasons.

do gestures from proko tutorial, boxes from drawabox and practice rendering still lifes from ctrlpaint for 10 hours a day. good luck fag. Sticky.
>>2389516
hey man,
what >>2389610 said. drawabox is a great grind.
go do gesture drawings, too! i did music as well, and just keep in mind - just like when you're transcribing music, don't worry about the individual notes at first. get the general flow of the phrase and then work to get the individual notes (details).
>>2389516
Ignore:
>>2392923
>>2389610
for now. Those exercises are good, but not what you want. The grind you seek is academic cast drawing. Start sight-size method then switch to the comparative method. Take your time and do it right. In the same way that scales train required muscle memory this will train "muscle memory" for four important faculties:
Accurate value observation
Accurate proportion observation
Accurate value reproduction
Accurate proportion reproduction
Pepper in life drawing/ imaginitive drawing and bridgman studies, but focus on the academic drawings. Once you have developed those four faculties you will have and easier time absorbing master studies as well as *observing* the world around you for detail that you will *reproduce* in your sketches, imaginitive or not.
Are haters the prime source of an artist's success?
Since nobody here likes sakimi and kron does that mean the more hate you got for your art the more successful you'll become?
>>2387537
Yes, now go away.
>>2387537
No, it's the exact opposite way around. The more successful you become, the more haters you get. Haters are a symptom of success, not the cause of it.
>>2387542
can you get haters as soon as you start?
I'm started my story and I want to know any mistakes that I'm doing so that fix it and won't make it again

If you came here for the first time,
what would your first impressions of earth be
>>2391924
That's some real stupid question rite ther son. I need to compare it to the planet I'm coming from or wherever I came from. I need a reference to compare the earth to.
okay got you,
so where you came from was exactly like our earth except everything was like perfectly fine and impeccable and you came to our earth. compare from a perfect one to the one we have now, what impressions would you get? Its for a school assignment idk im dying her

Are you trying to fetch ideas for your own essay, or is it a data gathering project?
If it's the first, come on, man; it's not that hard to put yourself into someone else's (your idealized character) shoes, just keep trying and don't be a lazy fuck.
is there anyone who can make a front and side profile of this character? like with his arms straight out at his side ?

How much are you paying?
Mediocre artist here. Spent years in an art course that barely helped me in my studies. Graduated with so-so skills. I'm miserable as fuck as I just turned 26 while great people younger than me are improving and getting to places. I regret spending 2-4 years of my life being miserable and I know that continuing this wouldn't be beneficial to me. I have no one else to blame but myself and I want to get over this...
How should I start again? Is it too hopeless? Too late? I know it's not my blog guys, just wanted to hear some sound advice I guess.
>>2389908
quit art. shit career in every imaginable way.
>>2389908
Kill yourself. No, really, do it, I will do so aswell, there is no place for us in this world.
>>2389944

Hey all
I’m selling a very rare pepe indeed, it’s one of a kind David Bowie Black Star Tribute Pepe. It is hand drawn in pen and colour pencil and displayed in a handmade frame.
This pepe is strictly one of one. It hasn’t been scanned or copied in anyway. It’s the only one in the world, and a real collector’s item.
The pepe comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist and displayed in a handmade frame. Rest assured, you’ll be buying a genuine work of art.
A word on the price, yes, it’s high. But pepes’ don’t come any rarer than this. And half of the proceeds will be going to “Keep A Child Alive” charity, of which David was a longtime supporter. So, you’ll be buying a work of art and making the world a better place, which should make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Once the pepe is sold, the buyer will be interviewed as part of a film documentary titled “Ask Me About My Rare Documentary”. The buyer will be immortalised on film talking about their love of David Bowie’s music and owning the world’s rarest pepe. Super great, right!
Please, please, please, spread the word so this pepe finds a great home and takes pride of place wherever it is displayed.
Best regards
Tom

I love how well the star is drawn, bowie would be proud
nice idea for a hustle though I might steal it
I gonna buy it.
does anyone know the origin of this sculpture, who made it and possibly when? If there is a better place to ask be sure to direct me
Looks like your pretty standard angel cherub sculpture. Considering its wear/lack of preservation, dirtiness, and the fact it's outdoors, it's probably part of a graveyard.
The photographer is Sara Zinelli. Found it via reverse image search where she's selling it as a stock photo on gettyimages:

Here it is on her website:
http://www.sarazinelli.com/publ_bw_gallery1.html
I can't really make out what the page says. You can either try to find the article online or contact her directly to ask.
>>2392627
In other words this is pretty standard sculpturing? Or at least to an extent?
Is his art actually any good /ic/?
>>2388592
The end result speaks for itself, the problem is that /ic/ can't even implement those basic rules so they hate on him.

Rate my pure vector illustration guys. I consider this my best "work" so far - please keep in mind that i picked up illustrator in November.
And i also have a non-related day job, so i spent roughly 2-3-4 hrs/day practicing and learning Illustrator.
>>2387879
you should just go ahead and post in the draw thread or the stylelization thread

hmm i only saw actual drawings there so i didn't think a vector image would fit, but ok..thanks anon
