Wow a lot of participents this week
can you explain how do I paint like this? >>1939817
I just don't understand how to group values and use the brushes ;_;
oh god the version I only got to work on for an hour is in there (。_ 。)
So today I want to come here to make a thread for all those artist who cant draw or something. So this is going to be a thread for beginners who cant draw something other then a stick figure.
Also to let you know, im too lazy to get up and use my other computer that has adobe flash CS5, so instead im going to be using Paint.
So to start off, lets this thing
>pic related
>>1922349
So step 1
To draw the body, make this shape with the head and tail.
>>1922351
Step 2
Color fill the body then add two (less or more) black (or any color) stripes on its tail.
>>1922354
Step 3
Add the eyes and mouth.
Depending on what gender it is, give it eyes with the pupils being any color you want.
Also the mouth can be anything you want.
Post animation, talk animation, discuss animation here.
>>1910668
So you have open new thread, posted animation some other guy did just for the sake of discussion?
Looks like you are trapped by /ic.
i'm sure you are one of those who just admire others and don't draw by themself
>>1910674
Mate it's just the thread picture. Never did I claim that I made it, it's only for inspiration. Lurk more newfag.

I WONDER WHERE THEY GOT REFERENCES FOR ALL KEYFRAMES
ALL ARTISTS USE REFERENCES, WE ALL KNOW THAT
Hello, What is contemporary art?
I plan to take an admision exam on a fine arts academy and they want people to show 10-15 works and explain a few to the teachers. Most people are rejected because they produce "boring baroque style" or works not corresponding to this era. (surrealism, impresionism)
If you can recommend some books i would be very thankful, otherwise posting some artists or art.
I ony went to a contemporary art gallery once and 90% of the works there were portraits with vivid colors
I also wanted to reproduce some glitch art in a canvas and call it art... gee
Well, i found that the themes are mostly the same but what has changed is the style it is presented, but the only real references i have are of some specific movements in wikipedia.
I really love that you get to have so much freedom in what you can express but i'm really confused about the esthetics it follows
.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_art#2000s
Glitch art won't work. It's too unaesthic and not organized enough
Do something like lucien smith or Oscar Murillo
>>1903539
this is probably one of the worst places for contemporary art. the people here have no clue about important art.
with that said look up works by:
jeff koons
damien hirst
ai wei wei
bill viola
olafur eliasson
kehinde wiley
marina abromavich
andreas gursky
yinka shonibare
theres too many to list but these are some important artists off the top of my head
also check out artist who have been in the Saatchi Gallery
not all of these people work in one medium and that seems to be important in art today as well as concept. Don't let this place make you think drawings of bullshit will get you anywhere.
Here's the deal, pick some shit out of deviantart or tumblr or whatever, post it on the thread, and the challenge to others is to redraw it but make it better. Post your results.
I'll start this shitshow off.
>>1894828
haha i like this thread idea. i'm off to hunt some terribad deviantart shit.
i like this idea. but im willing to bet a lot of people are self conscious of their art skills and therefore posts in a 'make this better' thread will be scarce
>>1894835
no matter how bad you are, there's even worse people out there whos work you could draw better. no need to be self conscious, especially in a thread that is mostly for fun.
Post anything you like: sketches, digital, oil, watercolor, whatever as long as you like it.
Art Documentaries Thread
I'll start

Share some docus guys
Ask a drawing teacher anything.
>>1880718

Goodnight, /ic/

What are some practices I can do to stop chicken scratching. When I do a full like I usually go slow and the line looks shaky
>>1871307
watch this vid, pay attention to what he says about basic forms and the excercises for making your lines confident.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgDNDOKnArk
tl;dr just whip that shit out there and know what you have in mind, if you know what you're drawing you'll just do it.
I'm starting to get how face works, and I'm okay at anatomy, I feel ready to level up.
I noticed a important factor to make a face look real is a good rendering, and I have no fucking clue how do it. Any good rendering tutorial(s), videos, books, anything?
And where I should start when learning how to paint? Oh course first I'll work my tradicional rendering and values before painting.
post paintings and share names of artists who you think have really great sense of image design, shape. Brush calligraphy and the like.
Bonus points for paintings that are excellent that depict normal situations and aren't just epics (though if you want to drop some epics in this thread feel free)
>>1860764
Are you the same guy who had that great shape design thread a few months ago? I contributed to it a lot but accidentally let it die I think. Well we've had a couple threads like that now. Lemme look through my computer and post nice images that I haven't posted before.
>>1860766
ITT: i share with you my collected screengrabs, info and notes i have stored in my 'ressources' folder in an attempt to make /ic/ a slightly better place.
this is not about tutorials or step-by-step process images, although i might drop one or two of those if i thought they were excellent for whatever reason. enjoy.
>>1869611
example of how the appearance of day/night is controlled by managing light sources and contrast in value blablabla
>>1869611
example of how to plot a geometrical wireframe before rendering an object. every plane could now be a specific brushstroke changing in value as the face away from the lightsource.
this is taken from myron barnstones guide.
the exact name for this process i believe is triangulation, but i might be wrong.
Anybody have anything else like this? Dumping what I have.
>ITT helpful pics
>>1861128
if these things helped we'd all be pros by now. give it a rest
dumping what I have
