Wasn't entirely sure were to post this so feel free to redirect me if needed, thanks.

So i have had a hobby since the tender age of 13... making Transformer designs on word using shapes. I have come a loong way from my original process of creating them and now im a wee bit more comfortable sharing them here on 4chan. First up will be three recent designs and if you guys like them I'll share more.

Thank you for your time.

Here is a "steampunked" train Omega Supreme.

I just got this customized portfolio for my book because I treat my work like a future artifact.

How do the anons here care for their supplies and work?

Do you treat them with respect or do you treat them like whatever?

OK faggots, does anyone know the dude who drew this? I've seen tons of shit here with his style being fairly recognizable. I assume it's someone recognizable.

Has /ic/ always been this shitty?
Recently I've noticed that the quality of the sticky has been lower than what I remembered but I'm sure it hasn't changed
I feel like the overall quality of art posted is lower too
And the amount of shitposting
Something really needs to be done to stop this board from becoming like the other mainstream shitposting boards on this site
Look at /po/ do you see such shitposting there? we're /ic/ we should be better than this

I think there should be a way to stop people posting unless they've somehow proved they've read through sticky properly

I was wondering which is better for a beginner? Betty Edwards "Drawing on the Right Side if the Brain" or Claire Garcia "Drawing for the Absolute and Utter Beginner".

I ask because i hear Betty's book can be long winded or such with 400+ pages but Claires book is much shorter? Is there much difference between the two? Should i study both or pick one?

The sticky is actually a bait for beginners to make them generic, average artists. Every good artist has been learning in art schools and so on... It's pathetic to keep this illusion that everyone can make it.

So here is a story
>be me
>work as videogame artist sinse 2007 but always freelance only.
>ALWAYS using E-MAIL only. never had Skype talks except wiht 1 foreign friend 6-7 times
>fat
>shitty looking face because of that
>have no idea how to act on webcamera and talk
>I can write tons of text and ideas in non stop and impress my clients making their d/ic/ks go diamons
>but i dont have vocal/social skills so i probably wont do the same professional quality on camera

So im working with these people - husband and wife - they are Indie devs and i was making game with them for more than a year.
Now they having a sub-project and his wife sent me a message asking IF I HAVE SKYPE so we can quickly discuss ideas for it today.

I havent sleep properly for 2 days and look like an ass.
I didn't cut my hair (but that's ok i will use hair gel)

QUESTIONS:

What do?!
Is she checking me on adequacy? because there MIGHT be a chance of further working with them and going to their city to work in their office.
May be she wants to see me to see if im "cool" and not some weird ass moron?
I mean...im kinda am because i go to bed at 6AM and get up at 18:00PM because im a freelance artist so i dont care about my life.
And i didn't cared about my look either because i thought that my art skills should be the priority and i quickly can "return back to Normal" when time comes.

Im not ready for today's skype talk!!!
But how to tell her? Hooly shit...I don't even have a proper look of my room because im a dork and at the back i have a shelf full of toys (no not anime girls, just some toys like TMNT action figures and stuff like that) and it will take time to remove that shelf.

Please help!
Do Indie Developers even care about look of their artists they working with?
Does my look of a "shitty sleepy face" even matters?
Should i wear better clothes when going to Skype? Or should i look more causal but not too "poor"?

I just REALLY dont want to make a bad impression.

/ic/, what tips do you have for blending with a Photoshop hard round brush? Particularly in as few strokes as possible, and without leaving a shitton of overlapping muddy strokes.

If you don't have tips, let's make this into a challenge for ourselves. Try to make a reasonably rendered sketch using a hard round while abiding by the constraints below:

No blending modes, no more than one layer, no size jitter, flow and opacity only, non-pressure flow and opacity at 100%, spacing at 25%, hardness at 100%. No eraser. White BG.

So I've been at this drawing for months. What do you guys think I should fix?

Let's have a thread where we can share our progress of doing Bargue plates, starting with the first one!

How to "Charles Bargue" plates?

I'm having difficulty at doing the first eye of the first plate of this exercise. I even borrowed an easel and all to do this and I couldn't even set the grid properly. The lines just come out wriggly. Am I going too fast? Is the overhand grip the right one for doing these exercises?
