Looks good. Need better picture and some funky colors
>>3052913
good for you

1) read sticky
2) go to beg thread
3) next time take a close up picture, you can't see shit, especially with the quality of your camera
4) a thread died for this
Started drawing a few days ago (want to start working on my own comic that'll probably get no clout in the long run). I plan on learning anatomy before I start with anything else. How long do veteran drawfags think it'll take to reach pic related level? Because that's the art style I'm aiming for.

I hate these stupid fucking questions. Nobody knows retard.
It can take you 3 years, 5 years, 10 years or most likely, never.

>I plan on learning anatomy before I start with anything else.
See, fundamentals are called like that for a reason. Think of it as the fundation of your house. Your house will be your comic. You don't want it to have weak fundations, but anatomy is a small part of what makes a comic great.
I would suggest to read Understanding Comics because it would give you a better sense of what you need to work on.
Anatomy is something that you need to have at an acceptable level but you don't need to be at that guy's current level. He sure wasn't himself when he began. Pic related, from the same author.
I just bought all these brushes from guy on Craigslist for $200.
Was this a good move? Or did I get goofed? I don't paint but I do flip stuff if it's new or gently used.
You should've heggled the price down a bit. I see an artists loft brush and those are not worth the money because they will get hairs in every piece you use them with. I think that's a good deal, but you might have gotten an even better one.
Don't worry anon
Holly fuck that's a shit ton of brushes!
>>3051601
I see W&N and Princeton brushes, also the big bob ross brush in the middle that shit is like $50 each.

yep, seems about fair
i cant afford an art school, what do
>>3044539
die
>>3044544
I was expecting this answer because I know you are mostly useless... well, not going to bother with this.
>>3044539
Art school is obsolete. Teach yourself via the wonders of the interwebs.
How do I successfully compose a still life for a painting?
Pic related is my work in progress.

check Morandi, keep things simple and balanced!
>>3051438
as much as i love morandi, and i really do, have you ever seen one of his paintings irl, they're like 1000 times better, and they're great already.
anyway, i don't think that's a great model for generic beginner compositions, because he was a clever guy doing clever stuff. for beginners the usual advice like arrange things in groups, big things at the back, always have an odd number of things, don't have anything touching the frame, etc. beginner stuff is better.
Warmer?
Want to start drawing digitaly, am only experienced in traditional medias. Any advice on making the transition would be helpful. Tricks, what to practice and emphasise, things to look out for etc.
Its very painful
Out of all the stuff I was recommended like Ctrl Paint and the like the most useful was a single picture that sadly I don't have. It explain the method of laying flat colors, blending them laying flat details and so
The only thing I can say is make sure you invest in a good tablet. The rest is relearning things you know how to do.
>>3052447
>>3052550
this, it's incredibly demotivating when you first start working digitally, but keep your head on and stick with it. Thousands of artists can draw with a tablet and so can you!
The most important thing is to draw as much as you can to practice drawing digitally.
Some things to consider
>don't use textured brushes - they're distract you and be really confusing, just use a hard round brush, do of course make use of pressure sensitivity and opacity sensitivity but stay away from very crazy digital things for like a year. Painting softwares often have lots of confusing blending elements and strange brush mechanics, you can simplify things by painting with 100% opacity - so that when make a mark it will be the colour you want.
>Fiddle with the software and tablet as much as you can so you can get it as close to feeling natural as possible, set hotkeys on your keyboard and tablet to do things like 'rotate the canvas', 'pan across the canvas', 'eraser tool', etc.

Nosebro is in Quebec? Maybe we live in the same city.
I would rather be thinking about God on my motorcycle than in Church thinking about my Motorcycle
Pencil, then vector, then canvas.
I would rather be on Pinterest thinking about women on motorcycles, than on 4chan thinking about this design.
I would rather you post on /gd/.
what kinda programs do you guys use for drawing? I use sai but I want to use something else. something that allows me to make line art like this.
if all you want a new program for is the lineart i'd just stick with sai, use a brush that doesn't change thickness and use the eraser to modify where you've ended lines
sai allows you to do this
it's the artist not the software
The fuck am I supposed to draw if I have no beer bottle, no pepper and no typewriter?

How can I learn to make cool stylized Illustrations like the pic on the left? I know that I should learn the basics, ie perspective, anatomy, and color. But whats the next step to producing stylized works?
I notice that this illustration style is used a lot in magazines such as The New Yorker.

I found some thread on here a few months ago where someone asked for help learning to draw and they got told to pick up pic related.
I followed suit but once I got to the section where you draw the upside down picture and just follow the lines without seeing what you are actually drawing I realized that I couldn't even do that properly.
I want to be able to draw the crazy things I see in my imagination and dreams(and then go ontop paint them) but I cant even draw a picture of the lamp and tv what are right in front of me.
Do you have any tips and any books I could use to learn the very absolute basics.
I'm out of work for the next 3 weeks so I want to put like 4 hours into this.2 in the morning and 2 in the night.
>Any suggestions on some sort of program I could follow ?
First, It sounds like you barely even tried. The Picasso Stravinsky is at the very beginning of the book, so you barely even touched the actual drawing knowledge in the book at all. There is no set program to follow, but you could try different books if you want if you're not feeling Betty Edwards like "Keys to Drawing" by Bert Dodson.
But seriously, strap down, read the sticky, and start drawing regardless of how bad you are at it
>>3051428
I did but not for too long.I thought to my self at the time I should maybe be practicing something even more basic,then work caught up to me and I just let it all go over my head.
I really want to try as hard as I can right now though
selfi
How do I become as good as the Golden Age's masters ?
Also why do I never see anything from this era/style on /ic/ ?
1/ Don't know, Switch off the internet, tv, video, etc etc and work all day every day, as they did.
2/ Because the standard of that work, from that era, is so high, and /ic/ prefers T&A, or sucking off Ruan Jia, etc...
HEY DRAWFRIENDS
is there a [desktop-] program with the same functionality as those life drawing / quickpose sites like line-of-action.com; that you can feed your own images?
basically
> it's a slideshow, essentially
> you can set your own intervals eg. [5*1 minute] + [2*5 minutes] or whatever
it would be really cool because any large website will eventually be restricted by copyright, hence they'll only have so many models & pictures that you end up cycling through.
anything?
if there isn't i might just try and do it myself or get some 16 year old nerd to do it for fifty bucks

If you have $50 then this:

>>3052151
Dam you I would've made a small app for OP and charged $50 (It's not difficult to make and would've made it in a few hours, easy money) but yeah, that's what you're after
>>3052151
50?
it says $15 right there, does it have some hidden costs?
best (visual) guides to learning anatomy? Its incredibly tedious finding good youtubers etc while the process of learning it is hard enough.
further tips for anatomy are appreciated
Thanks

Buy a few anatomy books. Generally you will want to get at least one "scientific" one (Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist by Peck, Human Anatomy for Artists by Goldfinger, etc) and at least one "artistic" anatomy book (Constructive Anatomy by Bridgman, Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Hampton, etc). You can also download videos on anatomy from guys like Rey Bustos or Scott Eaton that will explain it all in depth.
