That's stupid.

A good artist isn't something you become.

You should want to be better.

I mean technical skills, I got brains for creative stuff.

Fun With a Pencil is in now way an absolute beginner book, it could hardly be considered a beginner book even. It's cheesy as hell but it's a deceptively advanced tome that delves into many esoteric subjects like perspective before the book's complete.

>it stretches out way too much on gooks

That's racist!

No, you're not wrong. Drawing the head and hands is a much better piece for constructing heads, figure drawing for all it's worth is much better for manniekins, etc. But you never know where someone is when they start learning so it's better to recommend them the absolute beginner book that'll give them lots of practice instead of the novice books that might be 2 deep for them. Something like Figure Drawing for All It's worth in particular goes from drawing simple mannequins to very dynamic rendered sketches.

A lot of the art books that get recommended here go from 0 to 60. Stuff like Keys to Drawing and Fun With a Pencil are recommended as much as they are because they take it very slow, and because they focus on building good habits first and foremost, sometimes it's better to roll back to absolute beginner than think you know more than you do and keep your bad habits.

It's definitely sprite-sized.

You're not good at all.

Don't mark anything yet, go sailing and put nautical symbols in the oceans you've sailed

You can't just get a compass, anchor, and rope in a tattoo and not sail

>>2840924
dont expect it to look the same

>>2840771
It just looks that way, in reality art is slow and youngins think it's all speedpaint.

>>2840771

This. I've made a few paintovers for people via screenshare and video myself. You tend to work slower when you're trying to think about how you do what you do and then put it into words, because after a while the action hotkeys you press and the like just become muscle memory.

>practice
As for this take into account that when they are studying, they are trying to take IN information. You don't learn as much doing ebin 20 minute speedpaint during lunch break xDDDDD

>>2840774
I guess I should take time to watch some streams then, I always have the urge to finish up work way too quickly, hopefully watching others drawing will alleviate this somewhat

6 hours a day.

i started digital painting 7 years ago. i spent prolly 6 hours everyday. maybe a little more some days.

come at me

>>2837942
They can because that's close to what's going to be required of them in the industry. It's competitive and fairly high-stress, why wouldn't you push yourself to be the best you can be in a field that small?

>>2837780

Fuck off Feng, everybody is tired of your weekly shilling. Go exploit some artist for money or whatever you cunt-eyed dicks do in fascist utopias.

Considering he just started FZD films and sounds like he's got something hype going on. He should be James Cameron or even above level in a year or so. I think his films are coming out this year.

That was quite entertaining, if i was popular i'd advertise it.

this is a weird question.

are you asking how to use your imagination or how to actually draw? if its the former, no book will teach you that. if its the latter, all you need to know is perspective and then just use pictures of japanese cities as references. japanese artists are probably very creative and imaginative at making these pictures because they grew up in big japanese cities and have internalized their impressions of it.

when you talk about victorian or gothic architecture, again, you don't need "art books" you just need references to draw from. if you want to know the details and reasoning behind constructing these sorts of structures (which I doubt is necessary) just look for regular books on architecture at your library.

or how about just walk around your own city or town and draw inspiration from that?

>>2836018
Sorry, I'm terrible at explaining my intentions

I was indeed thinking of books that specifically focus on the themes I was talking about, but not only as in art lessons, but also in a general collection of art. Similar to what
>>2836013
Posted. Explanations for the technique behind bringing the reference to paper would be great, but I assume what you said is right, it's nothing more than learning perspective. I don't really know what I was expecting desu.

Either way art for themes related, is still very interesting to me.

Aside from that do you know of any books that teach on perspective quite well?
