Wouldn't your picture been more convincing to your case if that piece had been in color?
this has a little more color

Questions go in the QUESTION THREAD
This is for posting studys & getting critique.
>Thread study: Havent done a bird in a while so lets do a tit! The key thing is to capture the volume, try to brak it down to simple forms, two balls should do (one for the head, other for the body) Try not to have your drawing look flat!
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - there are many studies left unreplied, which is bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.
Old thread: >>2300633
Concerning my figure studies, while they may not always be accurate, they're almost always not accurate in the same way. The drawing is larger than the reference, and it's rotated off-center. Is there a way to go about fixing these two specific issues?
>>2305463
Oh yeah and this was drawn after I ctrl+T'd it. Should've mentioned that earlier
>>2305465
er i mean screencapped.
Gotta love this dude's "totally original" artwork.

None of these links work. Well done.
>>2312558
Replace the ! with .
Wasn't sure the policy for links on this board so I tried to play it safe.
>>2312561
Just make a jpg with the two images side-by-side so we don't need to go to links and change them and stuff only to be assaulted with japanese and not able to see the image in question.
Made this in ms paint when i was using a mouse
what kind of painting would this be considered if it was painted on canvas?
a greasy one
>>2312194
>a greasy one
So something painted in this style would be on canvas with oil? I can imagine that and I think you're right
I dunno but that's really pleasing to look at. Great job!

dont want to turn this into a Bouguereau thread, but i love this one from him.
This one and The Hard Lesson are my favourites.
I have a question to people who use Kyle T.Webster brushes and other stuff like that.
I use all kinds of texture brushes and its so hard to manage them and easy to get confuse what brush i used or using now because i choose them almost automatically.
The thing is - when i used brushes previously, they all had huge Stroke Thumbnail on that tiny brush choosing window.
While brushes that Kyle makes can be chosen ONLY from that far left corner part where they dont have stroke thumbnails and have only names.
Its so easy to loose the track of what exactly you using right now to paint one particular part of illustration when you using different kind of brushes for backgrounds and characters.
Is there any way to make it easier?
I found the only way - before you choose the brush - remember what it is and write its name into Notepad so you know what brushes are your favorite.
>>2307796
like now im using this pencil and liking it. but i forgot what it is and when i go back to brushes list it just shows default "first page" while im sure this brush is some "Pencil" at the very end of my list. but there are tons of pencil brushes im having here...
for example THIS what i was using before - the other brush list. and it was so easy with stroke thumbnails and default size for every brush so it was very easy to find them...
>>2307796
Bump.
Howdy /ic/
I have to do a master copy for my art class and I would like to copy a drawing rather than a painting. I'm leaning heavily toward Michelangelo right now, he has some beautiful drawings. I would like to do it in graphite or ink if that helps.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks.
>>2304560
It's hard to beat Michelangelo. Just do a study of this: http://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/dp/original/DP826907.jpg
In my opinion it's one of the finest example of draftsmanship of all time.
I also am very fond of Pontormo's drawings if you want a similar style/aesthetic.
>>2304560
>>2304576
first name that popped into my mind was Rembrandt. that occlusion on the bust always gets me. though I must admit that he was a better observer than a draftsman, so maybe it is michelangelo.
same goes with velazquez, real human beings in his paintings, but he sucked at backgrounds.
>>2304560
My suggestion is grunewald
What do you like drawing the most? Men or women?
>>2311730
Men for sure. I feel like there's more opportunity to add definition and detail, and a little easier to make unique faces.
>>2311730
women, because muh dick
I believe gender does not exist, therefore I like to draw genderless blobs of hair and skin
Where do i get acrylic paint in London. Preferably only primary colours. Also, what are primary colours exactly. ive got some christmas red and its shit for mixing
>>2310909
>Where do i get acrylic paint in London
fucking google it
>what are primary colours exactly
fucking google it
Magenta-Yellow-Cyan
or
Red-Green-Blue
Every art store in London should have acrylics?? Have you even tried to look for any art store?
As for primary colors, I usually use cadmium red, preussian blue and lemon yellow.
>I. DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW.
If you're an artist and a critic tells you to work on your anatomy, then it is solely the critic's opinion that your anatomy needs work. There is no work of art so great it has forever silenced critics.
If you're a critic, start by stating the obvious. There is no need to waste time nitpicking or being creative with your reply. "Does this person know how to draw?" should always be your first thought.
>II. CRITICIZE THE PAST, BUT ACKNOWLEDGE.
History has deemed the artist notable, and if you wish for history to be so kind to you, you must at least acknowledge the artist's work survives some measure of time.
>III. CRITICIZE YOURSELF FIRST.
Criticism by another name, is consulting. Consulting is not free. If you ask "what is wrong with this?" then save the critic some effort and state what you already know is wrong with it.
IV. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS WITHOUT MAKING YOUR POSITION KNOWN.
"Is Rembrandt a good artist?" is a stupid question.
"Is Rembrandt a good artist? I think so." is a statement.
"Is Rembrandt the worst artist of all time? I think so." is a blog post.
"Is Rembrandt the worst artist of all time?" is food for thought.
>V. CRITICIZE THE WORK, NOT THE PERSON.
"You suck" should be replaced with "Your work sucks." It's terrible criticism nonetheless, but at least know you are dealing with human beings, not art machines.
>VI. ACKNOWLEDGE THE CRITIC DOES NOTHING.
Good criticism = "Consider the following."
The critic must acknowledge that the artist will never gobble up even the most valid of assertions. Even if the person takes your advice, they will harbor some resentment towards you. Never claim you are here help the person, only state that their work has conjured a feeling deep inside you that must express.
>VII. KNOW WHEN TO GIVE UP.
If the artist looks like they're going to be a little shit, then save your breath. Be biased. You know that a tumblrette doesn't give a shit about loomis, so instead suggest a place other than /ic/ to post their work.
>VIII. CHERISH THE CREATIVE PROCESS.
Take a moment and pretend the artwork posted is yours. Don't cherish and love it, because Lord knows the artist themselves already probably hate it. Taking this step will not improve your critique, but will instead enrich you as a human being.
>IX. BE A d/ic/k, BUT STRIVE FOR A HIGHER STANDARD OF d/ic/k.
Don't take /ic/'s collective hivemind infantile behaviour as the norm, even if it is. Be different. Nothing is going to change, but remember most people here have the mental age of a child.
>X. IF NOTHING GOOD CAN BE SAID, ASK A QUESTION.
We know /ic/ sucks, and we are taking steps to improve it. For many, there aren't many places like /ic/ where a commitment to classical fundamentals and hatred of unearned praise is pervasive.
"Why does /ic/ suck?" is a zen koan, meant to be contemplated, but does not truly have an answer.
All you need to know is Loomis, and needs more Loomis.
