Think of a story you want to tell about yourself, the world, whatever. Draw a picture that convays that though visual narrative.

I want cover art from my book Name of the wind, it's about a musician boy learning sympathy magic at a university. So I'll draw a picture of him traveling there, lute on his back, wind through his hair, the university in the distance, convay an idea of how this world looks, and feels.

Should I draw something new right now and you give me some tips?

Of course not

This belongs in a garbage can. No respect for folks like this.

>>2385651
No. I mean, I have paint and canvases around, if I wanted I could easily copy it based on the image. Probably even improve it.

That said, I fucking hate the "one of a kind" shit people throw around as a sales pitch.

rather than shitposting on /ic/ go draw

actually just don't go on /ic/ anyways

theres no shading!

no but really, make it so you can complete a work quickly without being attached before asking to be fisted.

as picasso said "make a masterpiece every day. at the end of the day, call what you have created a masterpiece."

>>2384595
If that's yours in the pic then congratulations you're better than 40% of /ic/.

Pleb taste. Guess that's why he's wearing a trilby.

Beats me, but he'll make more money and enjoy more compliments than I ever will for painting still lives in my dark house.

Do you mean drawing common motives from popculture or using chalk to do it?
If it's the latter; i like the volatile nature of painting with chalk. It's not made to last, something i find appealing.

Have trouble with composition and spacing for making outdoors scenes - e.g. a street view with some cars and people walking around.

For A4 drawings I tend to use 2B for most of the drawing and something like an H or 2H to draw details in the light-shape. I used to use a 4B for my general drawing but it doesn't give the same kind of sharp push as the 2B does. If I'm working larger than A4 then I might use something softer to start with.

I tend to work really light at first and slowly build up definition throughout the drawing. I try and focus on separating the light and shadow shape, using a softer pencil for the shadow shape and a harder one for the light shape helps with that. I've been messing with finding a middle ground where I can work in a very visual manner while still pushing form and structure. This is why I separate my light and shadow shape so clearly. I basically flatten everything that is in shadow and that puts more pressure on my light shape to carry the drawing.

Here's an example of one of my life drawings using this combination.

>>2384749
Mostly 2B; there's nothing nicer than a freshly sharpened 2B pencil, imo. I'll start with that, and use a 4B and 6B when I need to get down to darker values, because as much as I like starting with 2B, it doesn't get dark enough to finish the job. I don't really use anything other than those three. I've tried using some H pencils for lighter stuff but I hate they way they feel.

Well, anyone? or ar eyou all just doodlers

Does there have to be a "you will never be" thread every single day?

you're sitting too close to your subject. You should be far away enough from it so that you dont have to move your eyes to see the top and the bottom of it

And moebius reffed some pics from some age old prehistoric comic or something. Who fucking cares, it's just the circle of life. I do this nonstop and nobody will ever notice unless I become super popular and famous, and by that point it won't matter that I am a dirty plagiarist. Zero fucks given.

In fact I have the art of prometheus book lying right next to me and there's photobashed concept art that doesn't even try to hide the fact that it stole from photographers.
