Study paintings with good composition.

Go outside and paint

Spend 20 hours on each painting

A decade of practice (oils, plein air) wouldn't be a terrible place to start

But I know artists with three times that experience who aren't anywhere close Boedges

>>3120434
Just try and don't stop trying. That's it. Those paintings are from scenes in real life so there's really no excuse

I think it should be spookier
Give it big sharp teeth

blog?

Mary?

>>3120226
Given the lack of attributes, .. it's hard to tell.
My guess would be St. Catherine of Alexandria, but that's a pretty wild guess.
Try /his/ instead of /ic/.

>>3120231
Will do, figured both was worthwhile.

You're not giving the impression with either value or perspective that it's a sphere. It just looks like you painted hairs that fill in a circle.

Determine a light source and adjust values. To give the illusion of a sphere you also need to make the fur recede into space as they curve around the form of the sphere. Pic related. Look at his jaw, do you see the outline of it because of his beard hair? The hair wraps around the form of his chin and at the jaw, we get a look of density because it's layer after layer of hair as -- through perspective -- they seem to be condensing as they reach further into space. Now this mostly applies to the shortness of a beard stubble but the same rule applies for longer hair and fur.

I think the old model of ipad pro is 550. The apple pencil is worth 100. Maybe you can find them used for less than 500 total. Then you get something to draw on and a tablet pc.

>drawing on a fucking tablet computer

Thinkpad x220t is supposed to be good value

That thing's beyond redemption. Go back to human figures; especially proportions.

>>3117687
lmao. damn. im just done.

shouldn't you enjoy it naturally?

>>3116185
I do. I drew lots as a kid, and to this day, but periodically there's long stretches where I drift into a miserable state and I stop drawing altogether for a while.

>muh inherent naturalistic meme.
art like anything else is something you learn to enjoy. it's based on ideas and knowledge, not genetics.

How to properly raise kids to be great artist, /ic/? What would be your ideal plan? Start having them draw at age 2?

As soon as he/she comes out of the vagina put a pencil in their hand, grab their hand, and push their hand in circular motions on a sketchbook until it screams bloody Mary. Tell the doctors it is necessary before giving the baby back to them.

why don't asians ever do this? Its always just piano or violin. Why not drawing?

Anyone can scrap a project. The ones at the top finish what they start (i.e. create viable products).

I find it's much more rewarding to finish pieces the best I can, even if I can see problems with them. I can always find mistakes in my work, but I try to learn from them. There is value in pieces you may dislike because there is usually something about them you do like. You have to like the process as much as the finished product.
If you want to learn quickly you have to surround yourself with others with who also make art. It makes for friendly competition.

There's so many I like but definitely on my top 5 is The Madonna with the Long Neck by Parmigianino. I like a lot of artist who distort the human figure El Greco, Ingres, Dali, etc... and in this painting nothing is in proportion, oversized baby Jesus, huge mary, long neck, long curved fingers, and so on, not because Parmigianino couldn't do proper anatomy and proportions but he is purposely manipulating all these elements for elegance and his using size for symbolism. Jesus is the most important figure so he gives him the largest size, followed by Mary and then the angels.

Why is every artist shilling this? I think Ahmed aldoori made a video, jake Parker did a thing about it, peter Han posted about it and even Kim jung gi did a drawing with it on his back.

>>3112029
Probably just paid promotion but nobody has done it with artists so people don't care to put "PAID PROMOTION" in their titles like big youtubers

>>3105729
i did try and make one, it didn't work very well, couldn't get it hot enough, i was trying to work up to lost-wax bronze casting, but i assume i would burn myself alive somehow after the poverty kiln sucked.

>>3105729
I might know more about kilns and ceramics than anyone else who semi-actively posts on this board. Are you looking for advice? Camaraderie?

>>3105776
are you the guy who did those like tiles with pictures of girls on them and some weird piece of filth?
