From what I know a lot of the masters are spread out in the EU. You should research what school follows whom etc.

Art school is a waste of time, but if you're going to do it do it properly.

3 years to focus solely on art with constant professional feedback depending on where you go makes it seem worth it to me.

First you need to know what kind of 'art', or rather with what goal you want to study. Then you can try to pinpoint where you best get that education.

If you want to go the run of the mill digital illustration route I personally believe self teaching is by far your best option.

I too got into art planning on drawing smut, and after spending maybe a month drawing really bad tits I haven't touched pornographic stuff in nearly a year.
It did sort of kill my ability to enjoy badly drawn smut.

It helped me vaguely appreciate more abstract art even if I still don't 'get it', at the very least in terms of some being well composed/having interesting use of color and stuff. I still much prefer more classical stuff though, and especially it's gotten me loving looking up the sketches by famous painters. I usually like their sketches and drawings more than their paintings.

I think fat people are beautiful now.
damn Reubens

>>2287390

I'm a violently against tumblr "healthy at all sizes" shit, but fat models are fun to draw.

I've also started to think that all people look interesting, if I look at them with my drawing eyes. Life drawing has really made me appreciate how unique each and one of us is... No matter how gay that sounds.

just sharing my pain with you people. bye.

>not saving you're work every seconds

i'd finish my pieces in two minutes if it werent for that

Its ok, it looks like nothing of value was lost anyway.

Wen is that you?

>>2286962
Is there gonna be voice chat involved?

post your work, ive been in many from ic and a lot have gone to hell cause no one was serious about getting good, or just doing it for a hobby

I don't see the issue with paid art tests and have done a few myself. Even if the pay isn't great it's still okay in my opinion. But I don't ever do free art tests and think it is inappropriate for studios to ask that of artists.

You probably shouldn't spend more than a day or two MAX on an art test.

>>2286805
that looks really man. looks like an advanced version of the material ball

>>2286809
Can I ask what level jobs you are applying to?

I had an eight hour test for my first job
Second and current job I had a two day test
Now trying to move on I've had 6 extensive tests that takes up and over a week to finish. It's not really working.

How shaky is it? Like major shakes or more of a tremble? It's possible to have a wobbly line quality with success, people like John Cuneo come to mind.

You can also try working at larger sizes so the shakes are minimized. Large sheets of newsprint for drawing, large canvases for painting.

Working with only the PS pen tool is probably not a good idea. I mean it might work but it would not be a good way to learn to draw properly and would be rather inefficient and give generally poor results.

>>2286692
its shaky enough that i havent had legible handwriting in my whole life :(

doesnt help that holding a pen or pencil hurts my hand because i have to keep a death grip to keep it from shaking

>>2286695
Post some art you made with deathgrip and some without
I want to see it

If OP pic is your art, then you are way too much of a beginner to start thinking about things like this. Also this is an 18+ board

you NEED at least one of more social media for it to be easier for people to reach you and for them to be able to see all your prices and when you stream art etc.

you can always make a non social media site but i'm afraid your success rate might be limited that way

>>2286320
Not sure if it's ops art but it's a joke obviously, it shows that commisioners or consumers in general usually have no standards and are willing to pay large sums for shit (sometimes literal)

you're right this is a 18+ board maybe when you are of age you can join like the rest

If you're gonna try to bait people at least make an effort to disguise it properly. This is probably the most heavyhanded bait I've seen this year.

>He can draw from life, but at this point...why bother? Might as well take a picture with any camera made in the past 20 years, it'll turn out better.

You and your friend have the resources to learn how to progress. Why don't you use them? How is this not obvious? Literally google search, check the sticky, YouTube.

You're probably bating with that image anyways. And if you don't have the confidence to share your own work online or figure this shit out on your own you're a fucking failure period.

Buddy, I keep telling her just that all the time, but she will not listen to me anymore. I keep telling her how successful she COULD Abe if she just puts herself out there! What can I do?

boring

next time take a photo with your pencils and stuff visible, that'll give your artwork some real personality.

That's not how eyes/eyebrows work.

The reality we observe and experience can be restored into shapes of the different mental intensities on the plane. This point can be used as the ultimate basis for judgment when the reproduction of shape on the plane is conducted. There are two key words here, namely, are shape and mental intensity.
1. Shape can be either deep blocks on the light background or light blocks on the dark backgrounds. No matter what does it look like, it can be taken as a shape as long as the shape can be detected from the backgrounds. This is easy to understand and no more explanation is needed.
2. As to the mental intensity of shape, a good understanding of it can save you from a lot of sufferings. So please try to experience them with heart.
Here you need to notice that comparison is the most critical factor affecting the degrees of mental intensity.
An isolated shape may have absolute brightness values, but it can never be described as strong or weak. Once you describe it as strong or weak, it’s nothing but the outcome of your comparison of the shape with its surrounding. For example, a black shape can strike people with a strong mental intensity is simply because the background of the paper is usually white. If it appears on a grey paper, the mental intensity becomes weaker and even disappears if it shows on a black paper.
Thus, the concept of intensity actually includes at least two shapes so that it can be felt. In this respect, it doesn’t matter how deep the shape’s tone is. What matters is the gap between the colors of the shape and the background and how intense the shape is wrapped by the background. Therefore, the tone of the shape is determined by pairs. The background must be taken into consideration as the smallest unit of intensity is a pair. If this point is understood, we can further the following discussion.

Now you can find that every area of the world is combined by neighboring or interlocked shapes. If you compare the intensity of them one by one in pairs, the overall reality will be presented. Can you understand what I mean? The comparison between the weak and strong is most valuable. The absolute value of the tone equally matters as any decrease or increase of it also affects the color gamut. The package will be crushed, but the relationship may remain. Thus, those who are good at adjusting half tint can draw a very flat but perfectly formed package in a very narrow area. This also explains why the whole part is actual and real when you brighten or dim the picture as you are not tearing the package apart but simply crushing it. So when you feel the picture you are drawing is abrupt, it is certain that you strengthen a particular part of the package which leads to the cradle of it. What you should do is simply push it back.

Here is something more about shape and mental intensity.
1.Shape is the projection of structure on the plane. Thus, if you want to change the shape, the change of the structure is a must. So, please be cautious. In addition, the edge of the shape may be either clear or blurry. You can’t say here there is no shape if the edge is blurry just like you cannot deny that clouds have shapes. The shape is infinite and it can fade into lines and points gradually until it is difficult to observe.
Mental intensity is also influenced by the way you observe. For instance, if you
take a first glance at the deep inside of the drawer, the contrast between the shapes inside is definitely weak in respect of mental intensity. But if you stare at it, the contrast becomes distinct and the mental intensity turns strong accordingly. What should we do then? It is suggested to always take what you observe by narrowing eyes as the final. Observing with narrow eyes is brutal actually as the scattering of lights is eradicated with only the main lights left. In this way, the somatosensory and the overall sense obtained best reflects the relationship between the degrees of intensity in the full field. That is to say, if you ZOOM IN the deep of the drawer, you are cutting down the border and starting a new picture. It shouldn’t be done this way, right? Finally, mental intensity will present three grades of strong, medium and weak. The existence of differences between the degrees makes the existence of the area reasonable.
I hope these will be helpful.

Like stripping away an assload of detail for nice simplified planes and push color to absurdity to abuse contrast? Because anyone can create an orange circle, it's where that orange circle is placed that is a reflection of the artists skill. That's a ton harder to judge, instead of tiny brush strokes and delicious gradients along with apple-looking apples.

I'll take tasting an apple through a green over looking at a juicy real-apple over there.

Because they have no concept of the history behind it. People hate modern art because they don't understand it. They don't understand what preceded the modern era and WHY artists abandoned traditional concepts of aesthetic to push the boundaries of art.

They're ignorant, basically. Not in the i-just-want-to-sling-insults way, but in the they-truly-have-no-knowledge way.

1. It's not art
2. There's nothign to critique since there is no display of skill to critique.
3. you can pay me 200$ to take that off your hands.

just set this as my wallpaper. who's the artist?

I know the OP pic doesn't really matter, but was that really the best one that could have been used? This one especially was pretty damn nice :
