I have a serious question.
HOW DO NOSES and FACES WORK in volumes?! Like the cheekflabs connected to the nose, etc.
Anyone got a handy explanation for that?

whenever you don't understand something like that, just study it as many times as you need to until you get it

>HOW DO NOSES and FACES WORK in volumes?
Like how all other things work in volume? When observed, light fall from certain angles and reflects based on the surface composition, creating sharp and soft transitions of reflections.
Not sure if that answered your question.

>Not sure if that answered your question.
Not really.
I mean stuff like the cartilage look literally different from every possible angle.
How. the. fuck.
do you get a perfect cube out of an ellipse.
I don't mean the other way around, I mean how the fuck do you calculate a perfect ellipse?? It doesn't make any sense
I understand that the minor axis should be in perspective and I understand the 4 points should touch each vertice of the face of said triangle but how? do you just guess it?
in scott robertson's book, it says to "estimate the degree of the ellipse" how can I know if my estimation of the degree is right?
this is driving me crazy

You just have to feel the ellipse

ok, so ic really is a shithole.
I think I get it now for whoever wants to hear me up.
after trying so hard for one week to have nice ellipses, I'm so glad I got it.
so! you need to consider all aspects of an ellipse as well as your perspective (1point, 2 points)
I thought that since it was a plane I should have only considered one of the points but, of course, that's bullshit. ignore the major axis and only consider the minor axis.
both part an ellipse in half but one parts it in half and also has a degree

Talent is not a meme, hear me out.
At first I too was thinking that "talent" is meaningless in a way that it's not that important compared to hard work. But after months and months of drawing and getting no real progress I started to think, that there are indeed some things that determine our potential. Then I just stopped drawing for a month because I was tired of seeing constant failures and now when I want to go back to it again - I literally cant draw at all. What's the fucking point of learning when you forget everything anyway.Talent is way more important than you think, unfortunately.

Keep telling yourself that. Of course talent is real, you never had a chance in the first place. Don't ever feel bad about yourself, never improve.

Hey, I haven't been here for years. My drawing has been on hold since married and kids. I recently started watching Mark Crilley videos on YouTube. They're really getting me motivated to start drawing again. Has he ever been on this board?

The instant I saw your pic Mark came into my mind. As for your drawing even though I can't critic it properly I will say that it doesn't have that nice satisfying feel on the eye when you see a good drawing.

No question, I suck. I'm just curious if Mark ever has been to /ic/. Does anyone know?
>>
>>2308514
Hahaha no. He knows his ass will be handed to him the minute he posts a thread on here. He will stay in his protective bubble on youtube.

Oh yes. The file also includes the program version you used, your IP, location and entire family tree.
Recently got an intuos pro, worked great.
Plugged it in today, side buttons don't light up or work at all. I reinstalled drivers and reset my preferences. Is this a hardware problem? Has anyone else experienced this?

Good morning /ic/, in the never ending questing to gitting gud its easy to forget why you go into art in the first place. Lets take a moment to reflect on why we started drawing, and how we have progressed specifically toward that goal.
Maybe you like drawing anime lesbians, maybe you've wanted to draw space marines fighting dragons on mars. Regardless of what it is, its important to remember that art doesn't have to be all work, try and go back to your roots sometimes and enjoy what got you started, it'll help you in the long run.

Do you think it's more difficult, say, in hours spent in practicing, etc. to master a musical instrument than to become an equally qualified artist?

Very few people on /ic/ will have the experience in both necessary to answer your question.

>>2308708
It's easier to become proficient at music in my opinion. The number of child prodigies in music vs art makes that apparent.
Also, in music you can be considered a master just by how you play, but you can play the music of Bach or Mozart or whoever. In art you need to "compose" every time you make an image.
So I would say the best comparison would be a composer to an artist. You get young children and teens who can play fantastically but they rarely ever compose, and when they do it won't be till they are much older that it is anything good. In art composing an image is a necessity, which is why it takes much longer to master.
>>
Mastering the instrument is like mastering your pencil. I'd say learning to play already existing music is comparable in difficulty to drawing directly from reference. When it comes to composing good music it becomes far harder to compare difficulty.
Only AAA ITT.

What is it that this man that you utterly despise his life , work and contemporaries? This board should be closed down, it isn't fit discuss art and it's attempt at critique is an insult to good men and women. Further it is dangerous to the artistic temperament to have such appalling governance and contributors here.

I'm sick of photoshop. It leaks memory, slowly using more and more RAM then it gets laggy and crashes when I try to save. What is the best alternative? Is SAI good if you don't want to draw an anime style?

SAI is just a tool, not some kind of magical filter that'll turn your highly detailed photo studies into kawaii annie mays.
