So, something art related.
I started to do traditional art, and want to get pictures on my computer and also post the art online in a portfolio.
I assume the best way to do this is scan the pictures, but can anyone recommend a good scanner for this? Never used a scanner and have no idea what are good brands that don't fuck up how the drawing looks when it gets scanned (e.g. washed out colors, etc...).
If it matters, money is no issue, but I don't need an industrial device that costs me 2000 dollars obviously... Something high-end for home use is more than fine.
>Bonus for printer/scanner/copier combo, don't have a lot of space on my desk

Personally I would reccomend an Epson all in one printer. The ink a little bit pricer and it comes in cmyk cratridges. And you'll have to not forget to print something now and then to avoid the ink from clogging.
But with the right paper they can make some very nice prints. If your biggest concern is scanning then i dont think it makes much of a difference how expensivr you get. I mean you dont want a rubbish scanner but from my experience most scanners are the same and you'll almost always have to photoshop, gimp, whatever and have to touch your scans for cleanup, color correction, or slight warping.
Anothet consideration is how big of scanner you want. If youre always drawing larger than printer paper consider that.
Currently i have a consumer level canon inkjet printer with scanner on top and it still does the job for me

Any scanner is good, you just have to edit the picture a little after you scan it.

I really want to start doing digital art.
I've never done digital art before. Is there a book that I can read? What the best program to use?

For starters, use
https://krita.org
And go through
http://www.ctrlpaint.com/library/
And if you dont have a tablet, buy some wacom intuos maybe around 100$ or lesser.

I hate the Mona Lisa. I really do. But not for what it is. I hate that it's the symbol for "ART" the same way that a floppy disk is a symbol for saving your file.

I mean, it's not a BAD symbol... Think of it this way, at least it's not an abstract 2deep4u piece.

So I'm not much for being any kind of visual artist, so I asked a buddy of mine to draw me a cartoon for an album I'm working on. I have absolutely no idea how I should go about editing it or even attempting to color it. Any suggestions/help?

What tool would you use to create something pic related? Photoshop or Illustrator? The gradients especially.

Photographer here,
How do I learn what is good and what is bad on an artistic level? I began photography as a creative outlet and now do it as a profession, I am technically sound and understand what makes a good image be it through technique or composition which I utilize to create work for monetary gain.
However, I never learnt how to look at my own images objectively and critique them objectively on an artistic level..
I am still very passionate about my photography and creating the best images possible for my clients but I do not know how to satisfy myself with my photography.
I have tried doing personal projects but when I look at the images I cant decide whether they are good or not..
How do I learn to critique my own images? Any books I could read?
Thanks

youre a photographer, not an artist. go on /p/ and leave the people who actually need to work hard and study alone.

>>2342305
fucking edgy
but I do agree that you should go to /p/ instead.
good luck.

Ive taken multiple classes in film photography and digital/photoshop, I know how to set exposure, hand process film, and make prints in the darkroom, I know how to prepare beautiful digital prints, its an integral part of my painting as I work with models and shoot referencs for my real work, hell i probably know more about photography than op, And I love it, but I stand by my statement

So, Sycra recently released a video with what he sees as the fastest way to improve in art.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0ufz75UvHs
iirc he has a background as an art teacher, both online and in real life, and he has interviewed and talked with a very large amount of artist.
Is his "Iterative Drawing" method really the fastest way to improve for people who start late and/or for people who need to be able to explain everything they do in art?

This type of practice is quite common in other disciplines, especially competitive sports/games. I myself used a similar method (but little different in the specifics) to get better at chess.
At any rate, it gets you drawing and it gets you analyzing your drawings, so at the end of the day its going to help one way or the other

Thanks for sharing, Anonymous senpai! Going to watch this while I take a dump.

Yes, draw a head, from imagination, 100 times.
From imagination ;), don't check what a real head looks like, just draw it from imagination 100 times. Ye, that will get you better! I mean.. guys, listen to me, that's the best way to study! LOOK AT WHERE THAT GOT ME GUYS AYY LMAO ;^ ))))))))))

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make stylized work in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.
Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, have fun.

Question: Is it harder to become an engineer than an artist? Is studying math and physics harder than learning to draw? My engineer friends study a lot but I think they just read and memorize for the exam which is easier but they don't like what they study as much as I like art so that may make it harder.
Whatever if I don't make it in 10 years I will an hero when my parents kick me out of heir house.
