I think we need to see more of your work to compare the styles

>>2871156
Is that a M16?

Famas I guess

>>2869953
No, not really. Usually we just look at life for inspiration. Like vehicles, animals, cities, etc.

What about for 3D, how does one get as strong as you that you are able to do perfect materials or textures?

How about picrelated?

>>2869968
I watched lectures that explained how to break down materials into comprehensible components, and techniques to create them through painting, manipulating photo textures, etc. Once I understood the thought process I could then apply it to my own work. Same as learning any other skill, really.

You can look at pretty shapes and copy them but that alone won't necessarily give you an understanding of what makes them pretty. Some people work intuitively, yeah, but you can't speak for everyone, I'm certain these processes have been broken down by people before.

>>2866118
why shouldn't one express their opinions through their art? isnt that the point really?

>>2866124
These people aren't doing it via art, they're just bitching and reblogging echo chamber opinions, or otherwise making posts like, "This blog will always support Muslim refugees."

If it was actually stuff like pic related, I would still enjoy it.

>>2866124
>through their art
OP didn't say that.

They most likely mean artists who keep posting/reblogging politics/social justice shit/etc and not keep their art separate. Meaning that if you want to follow them, you're forced to bear through that garbage as well.

Spam the fuck out of her and tell her you want a refund or to finish the fuckin piece. It's easy op

You can try trashing her on social media, it won't work if you're not popular though. Otherwise submit to artists-beware.livejournal.com

>>2871367
I said respectfully. Spamming is a dick move.

is it*
srry

>>2871287
>it is essential to improve in figure drawing?
yes

If you can't draw live models you can't draw. It's really that simple.

>>2870536
You should just buy clip studio paint

>>2870536
Pirate ps from cgpeers

>>2870541
>>2870546
Ignore these, please.
For 10 euros you get full ps, that's right.

>>2867282
Nice shilling
Is this a meme though

>>2867282
wat

Are they somehow trying to ride the Trumptrain or something ?

>>2867282
I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords.

Learn to dance instead.

seriously bud, I've been in this game along time. Shit ain't like titanic. You want a hobby that pulls tail? Dance. You want a hobby that no one will really appreciate, requires massive amounts of time alone and will eventually isolate you? Keep pursuing art.

>>2866189
I'm fuckin short like 5'8 isn't that a little too short to dance? Or is that ok?

What kinda dancing do I learn?

And srsly I wanna paint neway but god damn buddy you crushed my dreams of impressing this chick

>>2866140
Even if you did reach this level, or even a level far above, her response is going to be something along the lines of "aw, thanks how sweet c:", and that'll be it.

It's very selfish to expect that someone will love you just because you created a piece of art for them.

It may work on someone who you're already very close with, but even then you shouldn't need to. And if they don't know you well they're more likely to think of you as a creep.

Anyway, as for how long it would take to get to this level with no previous experience of digital art. At least two or three years depending on how much time you put into developing your skills as well as how you use that time (4+ hours a day). Expect four years or more if you only put a couple of hours a day into it.

My name is [redacted] I work for Ididian Containment as a low level security officer. To pass the time I've been making these journals during shifts, little sketches of what I see here every night.

If you are reading this, something has happened to me...
And you are in grave danger.
Journal 13

So this little guy is Contained #89, apparently he is one of our oldest contained. Caught in 1992 in [redacted] by a descendant of the monster hunter [redacted] [redacted], one of our earliest agents. So what I can gather from the files I read on him he is ranked a 4 danger level (out of 5, 5 being the highest), and is well over 2,345 years old. Contained #89 I incredibly fast and dangerous, is fed one pig a week, but it prefers to feed on the internal organs of virgin, catholic females. For this reason it is only to be fed by male atheists, and only on Sundays as per [redacted] customs.

Contained #89 is highly susceptible to light and is kept in a pitch black cell with no lights. However his cell is suspended above a spotlight emitting UV rays. Even if he were to escape the cell he would immediately be trapped by the light.

While light has shown to hurt it severely, no known method of eradication has been found. Methods tried so far include, decapitation, gunfire, burning, stabbing, [redacted], exorcism, [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], baptism, [redacted], holy water, [redacted], silver stakes, [redacted],starvation, and [redacted].

So far contained #89 is just kept confined to keep it from attacking the general populace.

240 and counting...

AND HE MADE ANOTHER THREAD. HOLY FUCK
This is the kind of shit that gets you banned, too bad there are no mods around here

>>2859949
i think his thread got spammed by that guy posting a bunch of pokemon stuff and auto sagged it, so he started another...

just hide and move on

Nope. Sometimes fags paint too.

usually doesn't have the same themes as a guy

>>2870344
i know a grill who paints better than 98% of the people here
she might be a lesbo tho

>>2869434
Loomis is pretty good for figure drawing.

>>2869434
Also, is it best to now go ahead and start isolating body parts to understand them better?

That's what I'm going to do now, but I'm certain there's a good, fast way to go about it.

>>2869435
I've already read his book on figure drawing for all it's worth, but I might head back to it to see if there's anything new in there.

First: Look on craigslist for cheap intuoses. If you can't find any, just buy one of the cheaper intuos. Or a Huion if you are brave.

>>2868276
Im looking at Craighlist also I found this on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-digital-graphics-drawing-painting/dp/B010LHRVBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487563662&sr=8-1&keywords=wacom%2Btablet&th=1

They seem the same, but they come with different software.
The first one comes with a copy of clip studio, which is pretty good. If you already have a painting program you like, just get the least expensive one.

Generally speaking I'd say varied line weight is better to do and easier, the only ones I've seen pull off flat brush properly are people that have been doing it for decades.

>inb4 someone posts that shitty sunglasses spider-dude inking tutorial

It's mostly a matter of personal taste and what you're going for. Line variety makes it much easier to indicate the texture and weight of something, so if your end result is supposed to just be lineart, it's usually a better idea to make use of line weight.

No line-variety works great in combination with a cellshaded anime / cartoon look, which is probably why lots of japanese artists use it. It also creates a really appealing look when a confident artist uses it for sketching, like 0033, Demizu Pezuka, Krenz, Bahi etc.

>>2870012
Depends on the project.

2 weeks, 3 max.

Seeing how most competent artist can finish a color commission with background in under a week I would say about a week.

>>2869837
Obviously depends on the level of detail and the skill of the artist, anywhere from a day to multiple weeks

>how many times have you "taken a break" from drawing?
About 10 times
>how many times have you given up?
2 times
>how do you build the iron resolve necessary to become a master?
By not being a pussy

>>2869770
if you've got mild autism you can do like me and sycra and draw every day and then obsess over not losing your streak.
