I'm considering picking up Jim Gurney's painting handbooks.
What's /ic/'s opinion of them?
How well do they help with shit like composition, palette creation, figure lighting, etc.?

color and light is fucking excellent, imaginative realism is alright if you were interested in understanding gurneys particular processes and habits more but it has little instructional value (or at least i didnt feel like i got a whole lot out of it)
>>
>>2293479
color and light is an absolute necessity in my opinion
imaginative realism has some great points to it but literally 75% of the book is "make maquettes to paint better" so its up to you really if the smaller amount of information is enough to pick it up for
color and light though get that shit

This is a correct response.
Listen man, I drew with the same approacd in highschool. You will come to a point where you might want to throw that ''style'' out the window and actually work on perscective, composition, color, etc.
i'm only saying this because this style is a distraction. It's like masturbating, those shapes are pleasing to draw... but are decieving you from ultimately progressing into an innovative artist.
I'm sure the artists that inspire you, were learning those basic elements I listed at your age.

Sorry for the rushjob picture but my pressure sensitivities kicked itself and I just wanted this thread out.
But yeah, as it says, I want to try and draw a doujin about Mao and Sapphire fucking (Or a girl/regular Axel being a whore). My only experience with comic making is being a colorist and I'm pretty confident in doing greyscales.
Actual construction and drawing on the other hand...one of my main problems is consistency, I'm gonna try to study their refs and draw them 100 times to get down their design.
Do any experienced comic makers have any tips?

So /ic/ I'm bad at sculpting, but I want to improve. Here is my first attempt at sculpting a human head, no reference used.
I will use reference in the future - I did this in order to find out where I tend to make mistakes and where my understanding of the human face is lacking (everywhere unfortunately, duh.)
I was hoping to get some help from anyone gentle enough. Redlines, general advice, anything really.
I chose this board instead of /3/ because this is about art fundamentals.
Also - yes I ignored the skull, the ears and the forehead, but I admit I couldn't do much better even if I tried. (how is an ear shaped anyway?)
I will be really grateful to anyone willing to help. Thanks in adavnce and sorry for posting something bad.

Basically what I would like to know is what went especially wrong and what can I do about it, because I can't tell (If I could I would just make it better, but this is my current limit)
so I can pay special attention to those areas when studying and practicing

Hey, I'm a professional sculptor and it's great to see some fellow sculptors on /ic/.
I find the best way to approach sculpting is to think about every feature in terms of planes and shapes. I highly highly recommend you get Philippe Farauts instructional books series on sculpting. They are expensive but very much worth every penny.
https://philippefaraut.com/books.html
He explains sculpting the portrait starting from the very basics up to advanced form and also points out common errors new sculptors make.
Practice makes perfect so keep at it.

I keep hearing about getting a set of gray markers all the time, but what can you actually do with them? I havent seen almost any pictures that would make a good use of them.
Could you please post some marker examples / inspiration?

I don't have any saved but I see really cool stuff done with grey copic markers all the time.

It's used in industrial design a lot. Or well it was, but it is being replaced by digital. Other people use it as a way to do quick tone for thumbnails or early sketches for illustrations. Alberto Mielgo comes to mind for this.

1. Resize image
2. Stop drawing in your notebook
3. Learn to draw
4. Fundamentals
5. Be over 18
6. Don't come back before you have completed all the steps above

>>2289592
But .... what's wrong with it?

learn to draw a circle, maybe, lol. draw something that hasnt been drawn a million times by middle schoolers everywhere. also, invest in a sketchbook, no one wants too see those lines. learn to draw faces on people first. also dont use your fucking saliva to shade with a bic pen... kek

Post em now.
Rules:
-Do not rate or give critiques unless if the artist specifically requests it.
-If someone is RUDE tell them to not expect much from an hour's work.
-Posting WIP's, studies, "doodles", and random sketches are highly encouraged.
-The art must be fresh. Like you just drew it in the past hour.

In the comments section of this FZD video where feng shows before and after, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rI6q6bv7do
but I'll quote it for you or you can check the picture
Some guy named Peter Clark says that its your personality that matters and that Feng was being too harsh by pointing that shitty art, is in fact, shitty
apparently, Peter said that he has hired people with less skillz
From Peter Clark
"I'm a professional artist and I have to say.... I think you're being a bit harsh with your comments. Calling peoples work 'amateurish' and 'high-school art' is hardly a great way to motivate your viewers moving forward. As a Lead Artist in the games industry, I have seen many people with less ability get hired. I've employed people with less drawing/painting ability. It all depends on the job AND the person's 'fit' within the team. Hiring someone based solely in their portfolio is a mistake. I get that you're highlighting the difference before and after training at your school, but try to ease off on the negativity..... it comes across as arrogant and made me reluctant to watch the rest of the video."
I can't seem to find the guy's website or anything as there multiple Peter Clarks who happen to be artists but the fact that he hired shitty artists based on their personality
