No and yes.

Everything that builds a visual library - so not drawing per se.
Looking at pictures, learning about history, museums, tools, watching movies, ...

For example, by seeing a trebuchet meme you will be better able to envision a scene in a book that mentions a trebuchet.

For example2, this caterpillar gives you visual library elements next time a monster is described in a book.

The point is to be exposed to as much as possible in the world. If you only draw hands for a year, your visual library is going to be WORSE, not better.

Not necessarily learning to draw, but exposure to visual images and experiences will be the reference that you use in order to grasp ideas better. This anon >>3124343 is right.

That said. You like CM and Blood Meridian? This is something I drew years ago when I was just starting out with putting comics together. Enjoy.

Good oil paints contains much more pigment than acrylic paints which makes them more expensive. This confers more status to oil paints. Acrylic paint also has much more commercial origins and a shorter history than oil paint. So basically, acrylic paints are oftentimes more associated with commercial art while oil paints with fine art.

What about gouche?

>drawing ability in general

That's so vague. Honestly, just post your work explain your goal within said piece.

Draw something from a ref that you know will take you at least 3 hours.

Here are some quick sketches I did today. As you can see, there's some knowledge there but there's also a good number of mistakes. Obviously the perspective is off on one, the antomy is screwy in a few places, and even being able to draw figures decently at times I still don't know much on scenery and the likes, so I just want to improve my overall draftsman ship but I don't have any direction. I've read just about every art book out there that's decent and thrown around here and I think the big issue is I don't have a solid "workout routine" so to speak.

Someone post it.
You know what I'm referring to.

Hey, that's me!

I mostly agree. About videogames though, they can be helpful, just don't make it your only source of ideas.

I disagree with the music part, or at least no opinion on it.

Videogames aren't really good. They're less nuanced than older mediums like literature and film because the majority of video games have black-and-white morality. Not to mention that they're simplified. Even if you do play competitive shooters R6:Siege and CS:GO, you're fucked over by poor netcode due to the large userbase. Let's not forget that they try to hook you into gambling by buying lockboxes and skins.

They do have good artists, but that's just it.

You tell him, tiger.

>>3122663
Stop symbol drawing--learn and practice anatomy. Stop chicken scratching, push your values--blackest blacks whitest whites (but down concern yourself with value much until your line art is where it should be.

If you can't figure out how to do these things read the sticky.

It'd take more time to write a critique than you used for your drawing. My suggestion is to fuck off or post in one of the draw threads.

>>/i/

due to it being so ubiquitous, i think its hard to understand its nuances.
come back to it later in life and see if you see its gravity. i love it once thought it was a beautiful thing that it was universally loved, but now understand why people might not like it; do to it being saturated by pop culture.

The paint strokes give us feeling of high tension in this painting, furthermore, this turns what would be realistic rendition of same city and sky into something more than just that

I don't know about hype, but the reason it is a notable piece is because of the time period it was created in. When I look at paintings that revolutionized the art world they were ground breaking. 1434, Jan van Eyck. The Arnolfini Portrait is an example.

>it's feels like a knife in the chest each time
>afraid that if I contact our commissioner (head of year) and explain this to him it'll just look like I'm trying to place the blame on her

Please help me /ic/, this is fucking me up badly and this is my first commission for someone and it's done me so much damage, I don't want to give up but I can't go any further if she doesn't produce anything for me to work with. We're about half way through the thing and it looks averagely awful, I feel like I've blown the biggest shot I'll ever had.

tell her it's no big deal if she can't keep up due to personal reasons. Ask her to help you explain so it doesn't look like you're lying. If she's a reasonable person she'll help you.

>>3116394
ah it slipped me you can't contact her. Rip. Try explaining it anyway, I don't think they'll think you're lying since this is kinda common.
