My neo deco art style is far beyond the plebeian that inhabits your space body.
>Palette knife paint application

What's wrong with it?
>>2277000
is awkward as hell
>>2277129
Destroys texture.
It's a bit lke harmonics in music. Palette knife is like a pure sine wave, a brush is like an organ.
Also, if somebody is using a palette knife exclusively instead of a brush, chances are, he's a huge faggot trying to be a special snowflake and show off
art movies?
what are you're favorite art related art movies/ documentaries
i personally really like the power of art series from the bbc
This is the only one that comes to mind:

MOMA/Tate Vids
Powers of art was good too
I havent painted in a year since no galleries would take my paintings. But back then I was so into it

The Sweatbox showed the shitstorm that went behind making the Emperor's new groove
not so much an art as pipeline documentary though
would you rather be
>a)the composer of the highest level holiest most beautiful borderline-smut your eyes or anyones eyes have beheld
OR
>b)the ultimate draftsman with the highest level encyclopedic knowledge of form, light, detail etc
able to manifest incredibly detailed characteristic environments in the ideal,most experienced amount of time
I wanna say b) but the feeling of something finally clicking after studying feels fucking great and it would be a really big downside to lose that feeling.

pointless: The thread.

Definitely would choose A, for the pieces I make are just an extension of who I am, and who I am will not always be the same.
Not to mention, you could probably make some sweet cash with A, and then just move on to something else.
Although, every single idea that you come up with always fall short when compared to you "holy beautiful borderline smut" creation.
Not to mention, you would always be known as "that guy who created that intoxicating borderline smut piece."
Everything you are, and everything you make will be over-shadowed or forgotten by the "beautiful borderline smut" piece
Choice B would get boring quick, because the only fulfillment you would feel would be from bringing your ideas to life.
With this choice, any personal growth is nearly nullified, completely destroying a large part of the artistic journey.
Not to mention, being entirely comprised of knowledge doesn't mean you will go far.
One would argue that success is made with a balance of knowledge and experience, but with choice B part of the formula gets feed to the dogs and the dogs thrown into a volcano.
Then after all your ideas are created, you're left all that knowledge rattling around your head with nothing to cushion or distract it.
Teaching your knowledge would be the only way to satiate your restless hands, and I highly doubt that's what you wanted to do in the first place.
Then again, with your vast reaches of knowledge, you might be able to tell people how to git gud in an effective, flawless manner.
Overall, I kinda feel like Option B is the most detrimental, because it dampers the journey of art.

Look at some facial proportions before stylizing.
Has anyone ever taken a self taught online art course? Was it a total waste of money? I can't do irl art school so I was thinking of registering for this: http://brainstormschool.com/portfolio/mentorship/advanced-mentorship-uninstructed/
That image is made using 3d models and photographs senpai. If you want to compete against that kind of image you need to learn to photobash, so that's what you do. Go on cgpeers and download as many tuts as you can, copy some polish hacks and your good.
Are there any online schools that isn't concept art bullshit god damn.
OP, hope you've read the fine print, you won't be getting feedback from the instructors on this mentorship. You only get the vids and assignments and you're on your own. The point of doing online courses is to actually get feedback from your instructor, and this brainstorm model looks like a gumroad megapack.
If you're really looking for online courses, go for something like CGMA or the likes. I never did any online course/mentorship but my ex girlfriend did a bunch of CGMA courses and I kinda followed along with here. The best part of this is getting feedback from your instructor and actually chatting with him and asking for advice. I haven't learned a lot from the courses she was taking (most of them were foundation and I already have a few years worth of art under my belt) but I'm sure there are useful advanced courses that could provide really useful.
Anyone knows the style of this type of painting?
>>2276314
illustration often used for commercial concept art with influences from photo-realism? don't know that this has a name.
>>2276314
It's sort of commercial illustration from roughly 50's through 80's. They were done in gouache and had that flat matte look. A lot of car ads and just ads in general had similar aesthetics.
Probabl retro-futurism. His other stuff is.
No one irl has the balls to give me an actual critique, so do your worst

Nose appears to be facing a different direction from the face, which we appear to be seeing from two angles at once or something? The left side of the face looks way to wide relative to the right side, and the nose looks like it's been smushed to the right. Forehead looks pretty small, too. Shoulders look small, could just be the way the hair makes them appear to end. The collar bone looks wrong though - the collar bone meets those muscles from the neck down below the chin, and right now it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Hair looks pretty bad overall; google Gurney Journey Ribbon Method.
Can you show us what you're working from, or was this from life?

Hey /ic/
I'm just beginning my sculpture journey and I was wondering if there are some agreed-upon top tier books/videos? Sort of like how everyone agrees on Loomis, Hampton, Vilpuu, etc...
I was at a ceramics store earlier today and saw some books and DVDs by Philippe Faraut which looked good, but they were like $50 a pop and I can't find them on CGP. They were also sealed in plastic so I couldn't flip through them...
I am taking drawing/painting/sculpture courses at community college and going through the recommended books in the sticky at my own pace already so I'm just mainly looking for sculpture-related material.
Thanks in advance.
OP here bumping.
Went to the local Half Price Books and they didn't have any instructional books.
Maybe I will get a library card on Sunday and see what I can find there. I have a large format scanner so if there is interest I might be able to set aside some time for scanning.
>>2276251
A great sculptor, Alex Oliver (he even works for Blizzard), said to me that this are the best manuals out there, so I guess you could invest in them.
YouTube man Phillip feraut has a YouTube channel where he shows the process he doesn't explain but you can learn a lot from watching
And there's a ton of sculptors on YouTube that down explain step by step
I am going to receive my payment and, as I have started one month ago in an art school and am beginning to learn how to draw. I like to read and write (that’s my main goal and the area of activity on which I invest most of my energy) but decided to expand my knowledge of art to the visual arts, not in a deeply serious mood, but more on a ludic vein. I am thinking in buying some books that will help me to learn faster.
I don’t have much money, but I am thinking in buying some 5 or 6 books. I want to ask you guys who have already years of experience with drawing the following question:
>If you could buy, let’s say, only 6 books on drawing, what books would you buy? What are the absolute best books,the ones that are indispensable to you, the ones that you keep using and reading for years?
One that I bought and that is truly helpful is Perspective Made Easy, but I need more. Can you guys and girls help me?
If you just started drawing now as you've entered art school you are not going to make it, family.
Get your ass out of there and maybe go back in 4 years after some free-study.

*I am going to receive my payment and, as I have started one month ago in an art school and am beginning to learn how to draw, I decided that I should invest on some written knowledge and technical manuals.

It’s not a Art University course, is a simple course given in a small town by a professor who is a professional artist but need other sources of income.
I am not completely new to drawing. I am 28 now, but I have started drawing and modeling clay when I was a child and continued up to the age of 18. Leonardo da Vinci was my first personal hero. However, after I discovered literature and began to get more and more interested in words I abandoned drawing and focused mostly on writing. I have already published one work and am finishing the second one, but I don’t draw for almost 10 years.
I have still some memory stored in my brain, some neuron formations that still exist, but that’s it. Also, I progressed a lot when I was young, but after a while I got stuck in a place where I was unable to move forward: I needed training with professionals, but I gave up even before starting because I needed more time to read and write.
I am coming back now to drawing not to be a great master, but just to have fun and learn some new forms of expression. There is a lot that can be stated with image. For example: I began a notebook about brain structures, neuroscience and psychology, and lots of times I am tempted to draw in order to better explain to myself the concepts, but my limitations of skill are a problem: If I had some more knowledge of drawing I could learn better some concepts of brain anatomy and structure.
Im trying to do a 3 week no fap /ic/
What is the best way to take my mind off of ass and titties while I draw.
>>2276228
Don't think about ass and titties.
/ic/ is not your blog.
>>2276237
its not blogging i just wanted some advice i felt i needed to elaborate
Draw ass and titties
Not kidding. You'll be so focused on getting it right you'll forget what you're even doing.
Be brutally honest.

>muh tools
what software does japan uses to make anime?
I want to make some animations using pen and paper.
It's there a software that magically clean scanned drawings?
I remember retas having some cleaning software, but I couldn't get the crack working.
To clean up drawings you can change the levels and erase things away in Photoshop.
>>2276185
It's there a way to automate this?
I know photoshop have batch actions.
I just want to avoid digital inking again the drawing.
>>2276187
No.
Not all of it, that's true. But I got a felling most actual art is labeled that way 'cause a snob trips too much on what art is.
>inb4 hurr duur you should be more open-minded dude
How the fuck can I be open-minded when pic related is sold as if were the pinnacle of art?
>such technique
>"oh the artist really meant"

Slow day at /ic/
>>2276091
This thread is pointless because you will have a bunch of these contemporary art snobs lurking here in /ic/ coming out telling you that /ic/ is fucking shit for only liking that korean guy or that ruan something or that sakimi girl.
Let people wank to a blue errrr sorry "Bottom of the oceania hue" canvas with a semen strip on it.
So /ic/, is it true that non artists never notice any errors in a drawing as compared to an artist? Go on Deviantart or Tumblr and look at all the drawings and paintings that have tons of errors, but mask then with exceptional rendering skills that none of the fans seem to notice or care about. Am I wasting my time trying to perfect my skill and just deal with the level I am at now?
>>2275976
>I got into drawing because I want people to notice me
>not for the challenge it brings
off yourself perhaps?
People not being able to pin-point ur fuck-ups won't make you any better of an artist.
Everyone can see your figures will look off, but artists can tell what exactly.
If you want to stagnate at your current level u may as well quit drawing.
>>2275981
I see reading comprehension isn't your forte
im not an artist btw
