Guys I have a question.
I'm still a beginner, working my way through Loomis and such, should I avoid trying to do finish work with stuff that I really have no idea of how to do? Or should I wait till I dominate the fundamentals to try and do finished work?
Finish works if you want, just don't expect them to be good.
I'd say just doing exercises for a while is probably a more productive use of your time while you're getting the basics down, but getting into the habit of actually finishing things is good, and you can learn plenty from doing something from start to finish and trying to refine it. A lot of people compulsively start things over and it stops them from working through their mistakes, they just restart with the first fuckup and don't learn from it. If you're trying to finish something, it means you're trying to identify and fix what you've done wrong, and that's vital for learning.
But still, know when to cut your losses. Don't get too attached to your stuff and be ready to scrap them if you're just polishing a turd. Know what your goals are when you start a piece, and if that goal is "have a polished, finished piece" then finish and polish the fucker. But if it's "learn x", you don't need to follow through and polish it if you can learn x more productively.

Hey guys, im into getting a tattoo.
if you want the oppertunity of having your artwork tattooed on some random guy on the internet im the man for you.
im looking for a sketch of a girl with deer horns possibly a skull also, and vines and vegetation flowers and shit covering parts of her body and maybe also over the horns.
it will be tattooed over the back of my leg.
if anyone is up for the task would be great to see some artworks form you guys.
Thanks, anon.
pic realated, something like this just with more nature, and maybe ahuman face on the girl.
Read sticky.
>>2332784
How much are you paying?
If the answer is "Nothing" you should consider killing yourself you fucking ignorant fucker.
>>2332784
Why not have the guy tattooing you design it? Since, i dunno, that's part of their fucking job?
Been slowly setting up my studio for the past few days. Lighting currently is shit, and I have a drafting table so keeping the light directly in the center of it is a bitch.
So looking for a lamp but .....is there any real difference in the lighting you use? I'm assaulted with so many different options. I've head that incandescent bulbs can distort the colors in whatever your painting.
Does anyone know if it makes any real difference? Aside from lighting up the place.
Never go for very strong light, or the glare will reflect off wet paint. The colour of the light should be white so that colours aren't lost. Colour light will mean that you won't be able to tell between different hues. Maybe look at lights that mimic daylight that let you change their brightness according to your needs. The best light to work in is diffused daylight from a window- not too bright or coloured.

Thanks for the response anon!

Happy to help
Do any of you recognize this sculpture and/or artist?
The whole thing was encased in this big clear cube in a gallery in East hampton

Ayyyy
Hi /ic/
Anyone here uses Win10? Because I have a problem with SAI, the stabilizer can't seem to work.
>pic unrelated
>>2332566
But anon, you wont use the stabilizer anyways, unless you're a bad artist, and if that is the case, you shouldn't use the stabilizer, and learn to draw without it.
>>2332568
I just want smooth lines and pen pressure to work in Win10. I didn't even used the stabilizer before.
>>2332568
Nevermind, I fixed it. Thanks for your shitpost.
Author of GWTB is currently drawing a new strip, live, you'll find him on Twitch by the name morriperkele
If you are fan or just interested, be sure to stop by and maybe give him a few words of encouragement, maybe that way he will draw more often.
Every so often I remember this guy exists... then I immediately forget. I liked his stuff way back when but haven't bothered to check in since

the first monday of the new year is as good as the first day of the new year, right?
i know i said i'd start taking this seriously as my new years resolution but it was a friday. it makes more sense to get a fresh start on a monday.
i'll go to bed early, wake up, exercise and then draw all day. 2016 is going to be my year. let's do it guys
Just don't overdo it.
Seriously. If you set your goal something retarded like "draw 8 hours a day after my 3 hour run" you're going to quit in days. Make your resolution achievable without dramatic changes to your lifestyle, that's how you'll form a habit you can keep at and build upon.
Drawing an hour a day for a year will serve you far better than drawing eight hours a day for a week.

Any good sources to watch 1, 2, and 5 minute gestures (and so on) anywhere since New Masters Academy became jews?
>>2336585
croquis cafe my man
Oh sorry. Meant if there were any sources showing people like Vilppu and what not figure draw? New Master's Academy had an entire section on youtube, but now it's currently private.
>>2336585
Are those made by Graig Mullins?
40 thousand years ago the inquisitive hunter was encased in ice; now, discovered by modern men of science, Blog, the Curious CavemanĀ® has been safely thawed-out and given access to the internet. Somehow, he's found his way to /ic/. Draw what you imagine our friend Blog may look like, either in his natural element 40 thousand years ago, or perhaps what he may look like today, struggling to adapt to modern society and forming cogent posts in /ic/.

Blog?
Fuck this forced meme
Do normies actually think this is good? Not just good, but GREAT? Some girl posted this on a facebook group and asked for honest opinions if it was good enough to give away as a gift, and added that she was a beginner.
I told her that I didn't understand why you would give away a drawing if you're just a beginner, but everyone one else was RAVING over how good it was. "looks amazing!" "wow, that's great!! I'd love that as a gift!!" both men and women. Predicatbly one white knight popped up and said I was just jealous and that she shouldn't listen to "the haters" and reassured her that she in fact just made a masterpiece. What the fuck are people legit retarded? I'm honestly stunned.
the problem isn't with the drawing op, it's with you
someone getting compliments and positive reaction doesn't take away from you. it shouldn't affect you so deeply. why do you care what other people do focus on yourself. this sort of negative behaviour will only be detrimental in life
>>2333703
Never said it takes anything away from me. I'm happy for other people getting praise if they deserve it. Fuck off with your pseudo pop psychology bullshit and answer the question instead. Do these people actually think this is good or are they just engaging in tribal hugbox behavior?
>>2333701
in the case of females apply the following formula:
60% of her likes are based on her looks
20% of her likes are based on friends/social support
so you can multiply her likes by 0.2 and you have a normalized value.
female privilege.
Anyone here know where I can find PDFs of these Pose books? Specifically volume 5 with the wonderful Julia.
Also have any of you use these kinds of books before? Obviously drawing from life is better, but some days you can't simply go hunt down naked people.
