Hello /ic/ I'm a fellow art student from Turkey. In a short I will be able to bring my painting to Sheffield, UK. Any suggestions to give my portfolio to galleries around UK. London, etc.
>TLDR; is there anywhere who could check my portfolio around UK.
>>2320561
I think /ic/ should check your portfolio first
>>2320562
they're mostly oil paintings, gotta take photos i guess.
What artists are you studying right now, and why?
Optionally: What artists do you think anyone would benefit from studying?
A bit of a cliche to start but it'll at least be uncontroversial, I'm trying to go through Rembrandt's paintings right now because I like what he does with color.
>What artists are you studying right now
Illastrat
>and why?
Because he's the best artist that I've ever seen
>What artists do you think anyone would benefit from studying?
BBC and Kyle

you're in ic, pick one.
I'm studying Sargent due to the state of being he manages to convey also dat brush economy.
Pic related. Doing it on acrylics because it's cheap and I have no space for oils :/
After years of doodling I'm thibking of tattooing. Any advice?
First of all, post your work.
>>2321048
I don't have any with me.
I work in a design studio so I can drew.
But I have never held a tattoo machine and I'm guessing its not as easy as drawing.

you need to be someone's apprentice, practice on pork legs in the latter stages.
Don't be a scratcher if you fail
ITT: we post influential feminist/POC artists.
Let's explore art created by marginalized members of our society that dismantles our heteronormative, patriarchal society! I've always come here for critiques but I feel like there's too much gross oversexualization of women and fetishization of People of Color. Let's show the internet that this board isn't problematic or toxic and is a safe space for all artists!

Here we go.

Thoughts? Do you 'get' "art"? How does one piece of canvas cost more than a house and lot, a car, a lifetime worth of money, heck even more than enough money to feed a town, all the movies, dvds, blurays, entertainment you want? All the high-tech shit that are very powerful today? How did this even get to this state?

>How does one piece of canvas cost more than a house and lot, a car, a lifetime worth of money
it's the frame doofus
i do art because its fun. i like drawing cartoons because its a good way to mellow. people spending millions on art are simply doing it just to do it. i dont understand what you are so confused about.
Everyone in that room has more money than they could use in their entire life. In that situation, anything put up for bid would be really expensive.
Also, take into account that there is a whole industry of experts that exist to tell these rich guys that they did a good job.
Do you ever draw for friends and family, /ic/?
Do you let them check your sketchbooks/portfolios?
What kind of reviews do you get from them?
Do you think they're lying?
>>2318914
Usually show my work to my grandparents for criticism because they can always see something wrong in it.
>>2318914
My sister says everything I do either "sucks" or "is not that good". Lol, I'm a professional illustrator biiitch! But, you know, teenagers.
My dad will try to give honest critique, but every time he points out an issue, he backtracks, saying, 'but i don't know about art, etc'.
>>2318914
my dad tells me my art is shit and to stop wasting my time painting
How long does it take /ic/ to fill an entire sketchbook? I've only filled 4 sketchbooks this year.
>brb
>committing sudoku because poor discipline
ihve had the same sketchbook for about three years now. nearly done with it
>using overpriced tiny sketchbooks
>not using cheap and generally larger copy
paper
3 months for a sketchbook ain't bad. Don't beat yourself up for that. Pat your stupid ass on the back, and then challenge yourself to fill one up in 2 months. Finished? Keep up that pace until it feels easy, then challenge yourself to do one in a month.
Small steps lead to big changes because they're easier to maintain. Negativity breeds contempt, so be proud you filled 4 more sketchbooks then the average d/ick/head.
I want to get into digital painting, but there are some things I want to understand more regarding software;
I often see people saying they prefer to paint in Manga Studio, but use Photoshop for things like 'colour correction'. Does colour correction mean they're fixing mistakes they made? Or is it not possible to get the colours you need in Manga Studio? Is colour correction only possible if you have a monitor with 100% colour accuracy?
Ultimately, I'd like to create digital paintings similar to Jason Seiler, and Tsaoshin. Does their kind of work require Photoshop, or can it be achieved with software like Manga Studio or even Procreate on iPad? Do these programs lack critical features besides the ability to colour correct? Help me understandu!
Thanks

photoshop has everything you need to do paintings. But it's primarily a photo-manipulation program. So basically if you need more contrast. want to shift your drawing to add more blues, less reds, change gamma and what have you... that's were it has a lot more options then other drawing programs.
>>2316796
Just a guess as I have only tried coral painter and photoshop but I think the key point is that photoshop is just unintuitive for most artist. They want to do everything with their brush and usually don't go much further than experimenting a bit with some layers. If you know how to use photoshop properly as a tool then it's great for digital art but most artist approach it on the level of trying to build a house with only a hammer.

that only applies to hobbyist.

i don't have one anon, atleast not yet
I have a question about practical application of 1 point perspective.
For example im drawing legs. One foot is slightly forward towards vanishing point. Hence i need to draw it with perspective convergence.
I can think of two methods.
Method 1. I project the front leg on lines connecting front leg and VP.
Th resulted rectangular i measure with pen and then through parallel lines 'move' to the side.
Method 2.
I start by creating big rectangular. I split it in two parts by intersecting diagonals. In second part i draw my front leg.
First part i project towards VP and inside projected rectangular build second leg.
Are there any better short cuts?
and a method 2
Please guys I cant proceed with my studies unless I resolve this.
Oh cmon.
'Keeping your files and shit organised' thread.
How do you keep all your files neat and tidy /ic/?
I had a system a year ago, but it's gone to shit with file names like finalfinal123-final9.ai.
If you have a reference library filled with images and other artist's work you like, how do you keep it organised so you can find things by subject etc?
I was thinking of using OneNote for my documents and write-ups, but I don't know if its versatile enough.
Share your ways /ic/, help us out.
I have an art folder, with sub-folders "books" "drawings (my art)" "inspiration", "resources" (where I keep all my templates / palettes / etc), "scans" (where my scanned stuff automatically goes before I organize it into my drawings folder), and "tutorials"
I categorize my art in folders by month. I have a "wip" subfolder in each month for the various versions, and then the final version goes in the month folder. Eventually that goes into a year folder. I also have a folder where I put my favourite stuff each month so I can flip through it and measure progress.
My inspiration/references folder is largely photos, and generally I just create a folder whenever there's a subject that that I have a lot of refs for. A few have subfolders too. I should probably organize it, a few could easily go into other folders here.
Generally with filenames I just go by some keyword that's relevant like "knight" or "old man", most of my organizing is at the folder level.
I create yearly folders and have a naming scheme using the international date format like
>15-12-18 random title.sai
Other than my own files I don't save much. Resource hoarding is a bad habit. I try to download one book at a time and work through it.
I get anxious when saving so I screenshot with sharex and put that on tumblr then I save the original on some folder like d:art then when that fills up I put it all in one folder called art old. Then I repeat when that fills up again (when Windows starts to struggle viewing everything ) .
It sucks but it's better than my old system of "desktop>desktop OLD> backup 2013 > unsorted >downloads > untitled folder (2) > desktop " that I have on an external somewhere.
It's good for hiding porn tho. And nostalgia spelunking
Do you buy paintings, /ic/? I bought this watercolor (pic related) a few days ago.
>being an artist
>having money to buy art

Well, I have money to buy inexpensive art.
I'd like to, but goddamn it's expensive.

Hey /ic not sure if I should post this here but. Even though I've cleaned the shit out of my spray gun I still can't get the paint to spray consistently. What gives? Pic related
take it apart and soak everything in solvent overnight then dry and reassemble it you fucking moron
>>2317523
Thanks captain obvious!!! I'm looking for educated solutions you fuckin retard
>>2317525
how the fuck am I supposed to troubleshoot your fucking spray gun over the godamn internet with your vague as fuck description of the problem? my only reasonable course of action is to assume you are a completely retarded fuck up and give you the best, most diplomatic solution I can come up with because short of gunking up your piece of shit gun with lazy idiot maintenance routine your dumb ass probably somehow accidnetally shoved the needle up your ass and lost it
