Yes, you can't paint for shit.

You should watch tutorials of people painting, if you have spare 15 bucks right now go to gumroad and get the zedig tutorial and both of dave rapozas tutorials.

Watch them, take notes, think about what they're doing and why, and THEN try to paint and post your progress here.

Nice "Batman But We Ran Out of Room for His Ears"

If you aren't just training yourself to be a human copy machine, yea copying someones art to try to understand how they got certain effects, or copying a reference are both totally reasonable

>>2362884

This + mileage, for an absolute beginner doing 100% copies of other drawings is a good way to get yourself to learn and you can train making confident lines. Make sure to mix it in with your other exercises though once you are semi competent

Yes.

Most people tend to call their copying "studies" but there are tons of people who just duplicate a reference or art they like.
You can learn a lot from doing it, but as someone who's pretty good at copying from reference right now and still garbage at drawing from imagination, I can assure you that getting good at one doesn't mean you'll be good at the other. Practice both. Lots of studies, if you're critical, will help inform your imagination drawings and build you visual library though.

With the street art/ fine art crossover I'd argue the pseudonym is still going strong.

depends. if you don't have a marketable name it's useful. my name is almost the same as a celebrities name, minus one letter, so googling mine autocorrects to theirs..

if you can search your name on google + art and there isn't anyone else there with a substantial following, use your own name (unless it's embarrassing )

Did these sketches before the previous render; I like markers for their 'punch' in delivering solid areas of color & definition in a very gestural way.

Sketching, drawing techniques for product desingers by Koss Eissen and Roselien Steur
Perspective Sketching, Freehand and Digital Drawing techniques for artists and desingers-

Two pretty neat books about exactly what you want and both have great marker drawings, check them out.

Forgot: Second Book is by Jorge Paricio

my drawings are always distorted ;^)

What's there to deal with? You choose camera placement, that gives you distance between vanishing points, then lens and slightly curve perspective with ps fisheye filte if needed.

I try to understand this field of view business.

Would it be accurate to say that the face to the left would be what you'd see in real life if the person sat as a model for you, and you would only see the perspective of a face to the right in real life if it was a giant "attack of the titan" size person?

Never have I seen this entire board summed up so neatly.

Thanks, OP, Snails are amazing. I cannot recommend anything, though.

how can people like drawing on those rougher sketchbooks? I use a mechanical pencil and it just smudges everywhere. It's even worse that I'm left handed so I'm forced to draw right to left so avoid smudges.

Also, comments? I should probably get into anatomy but I don't know where to start. Most resources seem to just throw at you an anatomy list and expects you to memorize every single muscle in the body.

What size should I resize my shitty beginner shit as?

>>2358876
1000x1000 is fine

how so?

Good movie. But then, I like all of Miyazaki's work.

I find line art is easier. For painting, not only do you have to have to have a good grasp of proportion, and how to use positive and negative space, but you also need to understand color theory, understand how light behaves in three dimensions, and be able to visualize all this in layers, going from dark to light and/or light to dark.

for just starting

drawing paper, pencil, eraser, sharpener, sketch clipboard

if you wanna render you will need a lot more but at first you shouldnt worry about all that.

Also I recommend deleting this thread and finding a beginner thread to ask these kinds of questions in.

Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.

A pencil or bic pen should be all you really need to start.

If you want something a little fancier than standard pencils and pens, I really like the pentel pocket brush pen. Getting some fine liners also doesn't hurt. Maybe a few markers (might be better to stick with a set of greys to start) for tone.

>i just take like 15 minutes to do this
It certainly looks like that's all you took. What are you asking.

>>2362456
>curius of the d/ic/ks process of drawing
since im a little d/ic/k i don't take too much time in detail or color, i'll typically bust a nut and clean it up and won't give a shit about the rest
time frame 30-40 minutes since i don't want to rush already shit art

>Can I get into one without any art foundation?

LOL sure.

your options are fine art bullshit garbage and/or pay a fuckton of tuition.

>>2361603
>without any art foundation?
tried that, didn't work

get a job which allows you to have time for drawing and just do it

>>2361629
Art school is more fun. Work is so boring you'll lose the will to live and never draw.

For fuck sake do illustration or something practical

I did a sculpture degree that required no trad skills . Fml now
