"The big Other designates radical alterity, an other-ness which transcends the illusory otherness of the imaginary because it cannot be assimilated through identification. Lacan equates this radical alterity with language and the law, and hence the big Other is inscribed in the order of the symbolic. Indeed, the big Other is the symbolic insofar as it is particularized for each subject. The Other is thus both another subject, in his radical alterity and unassimilable uniqueness, and also the symbolic order which mediates the relationship with that other subject."
"here are, however, many features of the “big Other” which get lost in this simplified notion. For Lacan, the reality of human beings is constituted by three mutually entangled levels: the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real. This triad can be nicely illustrated by the game of chess. The rules one has to follow in order to play it are its symbolic dimension: from the purely formal symbolic standpoint, “knight” is defined only by the moves this figure can make. This level is clearly different from the imaginary one, namely the way different pieces are shaped and characterized by their names (king, queen, knight), and it is easy to envision a game with the same rules, but with a different imaginary, in which this figure would be called “messenger” or “runner” or whatever. Finally, real is the entire complex set of contingent circumstances which affect the course of the game: the intelligence of the players, the unpredictable intrusions that may disconcert one of the players or directly cut the game short."

I think a lot about the mirror phase when I paint. It's a perfect reflection of the self as a unified whole, until you're confronted with the inaccuracies of the art, fracturing the unified into a subject/object. It's the semiotics of "my art never turns out the way I imagine it in my head".

neato, enjoyed that. when i was i think 20 or so i too made a big deal about classifying human experience with levels, mine were pretty similar, i actually wrote about 10,000 words on it. but then i read a book by umberto eco called 'foucault's pendulum,' which made me realize i was just trying to project order onto something inherently disordered and thus sort of take control over my own experience.

Just what I expected

There's an old piece of art I remember from my childhood in a book. It was a dark bar with odd humanoid looking white blobs sitting at bar stools.
Does anyone know what this painting is? It was in a book also so it must be somewhat famous, worth a shot asking here I guess

Can mice die of fright? I was walking in a field, and a mouse came out of it's hole and started convulsing then died. I think it wasn't expecting someone to be outside it's hole. Or was the timing a coincidence?

I think he's got the OneyNG thing going for him where he just draws "so ugly exdee luhmao"
so he never makes any real progress
>>
I honestly hate looking at it just all looks like he's trying too hard to draw weird things rather then it coming out naturally. but i guess if its what he likes to draw then who am i to judge but it's not for me

FUCKING
WHO CARES
I've been looking online for 3D tools to use as reference for human anatomy. I want something that will let me rotate a body at will, so I can pick the angle. The human head has been a real struggle for me.
I started using sketchup a while back (I use sketchup at work, so I'm surprised it took me this long to think of it). Sketchup is free, there's models you can download or import from more functional programs, and the camera tools are, bar none, the most accessible. I'm having trouble finding better human models, but I've only just started doing this.
So, sketchup as a reference tool for anatomy. Discuss.

Oh yeah, you can also smooth out the vertices and add shadows from different times of the day, and rotate around. Some programs rotate the light source as you rotate your view, for some fucking reason. Not sketchup.

fine art is dead because smart people are pushed into STEM. You cant be dumb and be an amazing fine artist. Those artistic people who are not dumb and are not pushed to the STEM field end up in art schools where they are taught the academic and photo-realistic way of creating art and are only pushed to create what is 'right' and whit is going to win them a slot in the next art show. They don't care about pushing envelopes even if their art will not be recognized as good until 30 years after they die. Not sure if that made sense.

Does anyone have anymore pictures regarding building body parts from boxes or simplified shapes like pic related?
A couple of days ago, I asked a couple questions in a dead thread about building bodies in various perspectives because the forms I drew seemed very off.
One anon shared this picture and suggested I utilize mannequinizing the figures and applying my knowledge of anatomy as landmarks, and I think it worked very well. But the image only really covered the torso and would love similar images/videos/links/books regarding the other parts of the body in detail as well as some advice for what I've been doing up to this point.
I'm still reading through Loomis and planning to go into Hampton and Vilppu once I finish "Figure Drawing for What it's Worth".

Before I started practicing drawing the boxes in various perspectives, I tried applying it to a sketch I already started to gauge how well I could put bodies in perspective at various points on a flat plane. I numbered the bodies I added in with the box method with red numbers in the order they were added.

Feeling like I could stand to know more about how the box method worked I looked at the guide a bit more and started drawing isolated boxes to get a good feel of how it'd twist and turn. At the moment I'm getting a grasp on the general landmarks and how I'd draw them in various perspectives.

I suggest drawing skeletons and gradually simplifying the shapes towards boxes.
