Hi Shadman. Creating and bumping your own threads huh?

>>3007893
Obligatory Shadman thread. I'm as bad as you for replying to this.

Anyway, I haven't been putting out work on a consistent and near-daily basis for remotely as long - Shadmans been active for what, 8 or so years now?

I've been going into periods of inactivity that can last months, you don't build an audience like that.

What would you say the go-to is on engaging with an audience, /ic/? I've noticed on some websites, you'll follow or watch someone and they'll go and personally talk with you and thank you for following them. I've always been afraid to do that, afraid it'll come across as overbearing or unwanted.

That was quick

>>3007737
I'm pretty sure reading that manga is a requirement to post on /ic/.

I think it belongs in the /beg/ thread with a proper resolution image

>>3007175
I second this

>>3007166
Use reference properly. Also sage, stop shitting on artists you twat.

>tracing
no.

What do you even mean?

Painting over to replicate it as close as possible? Literally step 1: don't change anything.

If you traced some linework and then tried to render it as close as possible, sure, it's good rendering practice. It won't teach you to draw, but it will help teach you to paint.

>>3006615
I don't paint OVER other stuff, but trying to replicate certain techniques has helped me with color choice/application immensely. Just don't let it become a crutch, use it to learn from another artist's style.

>The old masters drew from imagination
Where'd you get that idea from? I'm pretty sure most of them had models.

Then why draw? why not just take a picture or take one from google

All youre doing is making an inferior version of something that already exists in real life

>>2997017

Exactly, why even draw?

>>3007556
stop drawing all those pussies you twat

How is that a pussy, anon? Do you have a dirty mind?

I was working in a studio. Everything is digital. my sketchbooks are rather empty these days.

i always hated toriyama's artstyle

Aside from the bad anatomy, you should at least clean up your lines. I mean come on. Your entire work is based on the lines. You didn't even shade it. If you're going to write your signature on something, don't let it be chicken scratch.

>>3006638
The sad part is, is that garbage like this gets you tons of followers and likes on IG.

>>3000354
Thinking you have to use a simple style just to draw comics just because it's faster is stupid. If you want to draw in a cartoony style, draw it because you like the style, not to let yourself be lazier.

Why learn to draw when all you need are bubble headed gender ambiguous stick figures that bring your point across. So relatable!

are you fucking 13? you heard from youtubers? if you had any critical thinking you could reason out the retardation of what you just asked. kill yourself

>>3007733
I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here. Could you post an example?

>>3007788
im painting a shadow of something from imagination that is cadmium orange plus medium yellow

>>3007111
Idk your drawing looks really good

>>3007111
what do you mean by that, it already looks good.

>>3007111

You improve your hand-eye coordination, check out for exercises and sports that improve it, hit the gym, get steady hands.

You also do the Peter Han/drawabox/Scott Robertson exercises - draw with pen straight parallel lines, try crossing few straight lines in one point, mark two points and draw straight line through it, mark 3 points and draw parabola through it...

Eventually do those lines longer, vary spacing, like closing the lines and then drawin them in bigger and bigger spacings while keeping it consistent...

Really, there's quite a lot of stuff you can do to get steady hands.

Oh and I hope you already know to draw from shoulder/elbow?

>>3004710
make me

>>3004710
Are these threads portable yet?

I loved film scores on vinyl, especially from the silent era with the old pit piano music. Maurice Jarre, Bernard Herrmann... Herrmann will always put me in a Hitchcock mood. David Bowie's LOW is probably closest to being my artistic mood ring.

drawing to music always gets me a bit too pumped. in the end I look at the finished piece and it promptly becomes the next kindling for my oven

Upwork, reddit.com/r/hungryartists, LinkedIn, personal social network.

>>3007493

thank. i check out upwork and reddit. I have a LinkedIn profile but never cared about it. Is it actually useful?

>>3007528
It's just a different strategy, I use it for long-term position job applications & for cold calling. Got long-term clients out of it, but you don't sound like the proactive type, so it might not be your thing.
