He does 1 thing very difficult very well. But on a whole scale his compositions are pretty lacking.
So no, he really isnt that great, stop with the kimeme.

Are we witnessing the end of traditional media? Tiltbrush combines digital art and the physical sensation of real painting.

I don't know what to do anymore, /ic/...
I want to
>do fine art
>do animoo shit
>do animoo porn
>make a comic
>do concept art for video games
ALL AT THE SAME TIME
I end up working on several things at a time and I feel like I'll never make progress in any of them if I don't focus on just one... But I also have to think of something that can be at least a bit profitable...
How do I make up my mind? Have you guys gone through something similar?

Dont create art just because you want to make money.
>>
sit down and really focus on gittin gud before you do anything else, when you start going after money, it'll come easier if you already know your shit
>>
My mind has done this sort of thing, but I always think that maybe signing up for an art college or someshit would actually get me making stuff.
Like, I can´t really do stuff on my own. I feel like in order to have things in order, I need something like "anon, you must make a character study of this involving this and concept" and then I make it.
Im not too good at thinking on my own.
I love to draw, and Im gud imo, but with this power, I don´t know what to draw desu.
How did you get through this?
I know I need to master the absolute basics before doing anything but drawing lines and cubes is so demotivating when you have this idea of how good you want to be. I feel like once I would enter the stage where I can produce half-decent drawings I would be a lot more motivated to work on improving myself. But I just can't find the drive to get there even though I know there is no way around it and I do want to be able to draw.

Why are you asking, it says right one there. You persevere, you keep working, keep pushing, until eventually you get there.

This is how autists think. You've seen 5 year olds paint before haven't you?
Don't fear colours, work on your skills as a whole. This isn't some hierarchy of shit to be learned. I mean, I didn't really get values until I started painting. It clicked when I was able to create a single-value flat painting with all the values encoded in warm/cool contrast.
We're all going to make it brah. That or become fucking photocopiers.

Alright if I don't call this done I'll spend another week on it.
There aren't lines, admittedly I got lazy and used lines in some parts, but if you're doing graphite correctly you don't use lines, you use blocks of shading. The point is to mimic real life where there aren't outlines on things, just different shades. Obviously I didn't do it very well.

Oh?

I'm the artist but I did not post this on this board, some faggot from a /tg/ drawthread did it to be an asshole and take me down a peg because I turned down some advice and the whole thread threw a hissyfit over it.
To summarize, the advice was to use lineweight because things are too blurry. My response was that that wasn't a useful critique because the method specifically isn't supposed to use lines.
But hey, since they went out of their way to post it here for you guys to "chew you off and tell you the truth about what you've done" I might as well hear how much I suck.

I was wondering as a aspiring artist who sucks at drawing by hand which on is more efficient / easier to pick up? Should i buy myself a graphics tablet or suck it up and continue to learn by hand?
Any help / tips would be appreciated.

learn through drawing. the intuos is just a tool and has a tendency to instill on you bad habits and crutches when you are starting out.

Pencil, pen, stack of 500 piece cheap photo copy paper.
I wish I learned that way rather then having gotten a tablet so quick and learning on that and struggling.

Hello.
I've just started learning how to draw a few weeks ago, and so far it has been pretty fun. I love playing around with shapes and perspectives, and my focus so far has been edges (with a little shading here and there), but one thing that has been very frustrating is my lines. I can't make the line I want to make most of the times, straight lines come out wobbly, and curves are hard to control, even if I know exactly what line I want to make. When I try to make a quick line it often comes out straight, but I feel like I have very little control over it. It's really annoying when I say to myself "ok, I want to make this form, and I want to draw this line", and then I go to draw the line and it's not even close to what I wanted to do. This happens both with my tablet and with paper, so yeah.
I was wondering if you guys had any tips or exercises I could do to help improve this faster. I've decided that I would not concentrate in just one arm movement, I want to be able to draw any line without rotating the page (I've heard of people who can only make one or two movements right), since I think that will save a lot of time in the future. So yeah, how do I practice this properly? Should I just repeat one line over and over again until it becomes easy to do so, or are there better ways to practice?
I also still am very divided with the wrist vs arm thing. Should I be practicing both or should I try to always use the entire arm (shoulder, elbow and wrist) for every line, even the smaller ones?
Thank you for the help.

1. there's a question thread, go there in the future.
2. you just keep drawing to get a better line control, there are some excercises like doing elipses and tracing lines between point a and point b.
I reccomend you the first 2 lessons of this: http://drawabox.com/
>>
Most lines you draw should be with your entire arm. Most people normally draw with their wrist, so assuming you aren't a special snowflake focus on that. The big thing here is to avoid wrist injury and fatigue. Hey Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
There are a variety of exercises you can practice to improve on your line work.
Draw a set of random dots on a sheet of paper, in one stroke connect the dots. Start a little bit before the first point, go through it, and then go through the next. The goal is to draw a straight line, even if you miss your points. With practice you will get better. Fill a page. Be sure to practice drawing lines from all directions incoming and outgoing. TIP: Glance at the first point bring your eyes to the next point without focusing on your hand. Your hand should follow the eyes.
I need to see a Rothko painting just once to finally decide for myself whether this is all bullshit or not.
Has anyone here seen one in person?

it doesn't make a difference whether you've seen one in person or not. i did and it didn't change my opinion of it.
if you're the kind of person that thinks blocks of color is bullshit, you're still gonna think it's bullshit.

I enjoy the ambiance of the pieces, I can just let my thoughts wander without the distraction of figures and other realistic objects.

/ic/, is it just me or half of the color wheel completely lacks in vocabulary/cultural background?
I can tell the difference between blues with some attention, sure, but they are all BLUE to me.
Now, I know I can find a pretty fancy name for every shade of color humanity has ever seen, but only house decor people care for that stuff.
Do you also have some trouble telling what kind of blue or green you should use? Do you feel there are too many blues and foolproofing with Ctrl + U is the only way to tell for sure?
That never happens to me with the other half of the circle, so it gets me thinking.
What gives?

It's called the visible spectrum. That's all you get with your shitty human eyes m8.

Your confusion might just be that the Photoshop color wheel has two black corners which is completely useless, and the ideal one would have three corners.
But a square looks better from a design perspective.
