Leave him alone!
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, there is a question thread for that.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead (I recommend ShareX)
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.
OLD THREAD: >>2832053
how do I get started with woodblock printing? Anybody here have any experience with printing?
Will be posting some inspo
Hey /ic
if you had to choose one, which would you get? Stephen rogers peck of Eliot Goldfinger's anatomy book?
>>2830463
both, anatomy is fucking complicated so study every source you can, add proko videos and bridgman to those too, if you're completely new to anatomy start with hampton then move on to the others
Goldfinger's is more informative and structured
>>2830469
I'm not really new. I was looking to buy a more complete and detailed anatomy book. both of them seem to have similar goals and content, so that's why I was wondering which one you guys recommend, or if it's worth getting both of them?

I want to start doing nsfw commissions, but my rendering is shit.
Should I study pic related, even if it focuses on rendering vehicles? (because Robertson was mentioned in sticky)
Or should I study pictures made by successful porn artists?
Or is there a good book/tutorial about rendering humans and animals that I should focus on?
If you suck at rendering, you should practice rendering. Study other artists and see how they use color. There are ton of tutorials out there on gumroad, deviantart, pintrest, whatever. It's not hard, just do it.
>>2838067
I love this book and it's video. Just because he teaches rendering through vehicles doesn't mean the fundamentals can't be applied to other things. Light is light and form is form. To think otherwise would be stupid and counterproductive.
I've seen many people turn this book away just because Robertson likes drawing cars and by doing so they didn't learn how rendering works.
>>2838067
You will need to know how perspective works properly because you use that book, it will constantly refer back to his how to draw book on how to set up various perpectives before rending.
Retarded Old fag here, I was wondering if some of you youngsters could help me out. Is there simple program, app where i can take digital pictures and lay a simple grid over them?
Pic is charcoal study of Goblin valley Utah.
Photoshop

Should have said CHEAP retarded old fag,I thought photo shop was a few hundred dollars.
>>2837584
Try GIMP. Most programs can do that. This really doesn't deserve a thread.
Hey /ic/, /b/astard here. I want to get into tattoo's, and am going to be buying a tattoo set (link at the bottom) Any advice for a begginer? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Complete-Tattoo-Kit-Set-Tattoo-Gun-Power-Supply-Needle-Grip-Tip-Combo-Kit-Set-Supply-TKS112/32294904068.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.264.XXEPj2
Dion't buy a set. Buy pic related then build your own.
Tattoo pig or fake skin only, otherwise yo'll have a very hard time getting an apprenticeship if local shops hear you're scratching.
look into your state's required licensing for body art. You'll probably have to do a cheap online course on bloodborne illness. Get the license before anything, this will help a shop see that you're serious about doing this.
Don't tattoo your friends. They will ask, then it will be bad and it WILL haunt you.
you can do as >>2835067 said but heres my grain of salt...
DO NOT BUY CHINESE MACHINES SETS & POWER SOURCES THEY SUCK SHIT ANT MALFUNCTION
Aditionally you can buy custom built machines by real artist, the know their shit and could use the extra income.
Get Guy Aitchison´s Reinventing the tattoo books/dvd bundle, they are the closest to a textbook that actually works.
Ask around the internet, theres a bunch of info, a lot of it is bullshit but youll have to sort all that shit
Stick to american traditional or other "old styles" none of that watercolor/tiny/delicate bullshit, they take years of practice to be done correctly and even then that shit fades in less than a couple of years, dont be fooled by instagram and pinterest, search for healed photos or older tattoos to see which ones age good
beware of apprenticeships, most are bullshit, lot of circlejerking by arrogant so called artists that´ll treat you like shit, if they dont respect you fuck off of there, or go your own way
prepare to grind it out, it takes a lot of time to get good at it
DO NOT BUY CHINESE INKS
do tattoo your friends, but be aware that you will have to cover up that shit
Provided you can draw decently (meaning you have solid fundamentals and have been drawing for a couple of years), how long does it take to become a decent tattoo artist, taste, style and creativity notwithstanding?
Also, if anyone is a professional tattoo artist or an apprentice, or even a prolific amateur, can you post some experiences, what it's like, what you like/dislike about it, etc?
Are there any youtube channels that explain the realities of the job like FZD does for concept art?
Alright d/ic/ks,
I need to know your a/s/l. except fuck the location because I don't give a shit. Instead, give me your goddamned height. Why? Because I've noticed that every fucking teacher in my school is 5'5" or lower.
This leads me to believe there is something inherently effeminate about creating artwork and it bothers me.
Not to mention that 90% of the student body is female, 5% are gay male. The last are straight males (black or white).

Im in the process of fighting for the heart of a girl which I believe is to be the one and only, and dont tell me that its stupid, I know that but this is something I have to do for so many reasons that I simply have to try. Anyway Im writing a Book(Yes a whole book..) in which I tell her a couple of things including Illustrations and drawings, mostly sketches wich have emotional value and I am in need of a sketch of a Hare in the same style as this Fox is.. Its supposed to look elegant and brave and hopefull, so rather slim and long body and so on, not a typical Bunnybodyposition or something. I was hoping somebody here could help me with it.. (The Artist of the Foxsketch is Katinkameserant @ deviant)
>>2837134
1. Contact artist, pay him $50, get illustration
Alternatively
2. Fuck off, grow up, git gut and/or stop being poor
please god don't you're bringing back repressed memories of my cringy teenage self
You're coming off a creepy fuck lol. I certainly wouldnt be swayed to get into a relationship with you.
There's a good drawing in that silhouette somewhere, /ic/. Find her.
Here's the template.
Keeping the silhouette, try to create the best painting within it.

Critics please, 5 months of practice from zero. 4 hours every day.
it a shit
>>2835090
Haha Okay thank you any ways. If you can tell me why is shit it will help me to fix it. My eyes can't see it all. Any kind of suggestions will be helpful.
you need to work on your edges. use a harder brush. you look like you're guessing values. it's not bad progress for five months, though. keep going.
How do I make myself draw
Self-discipline. You just have to fucking do it. People like James Jean and Kim Jung Gi got good because they drew all the time every day.
>>2834539
How do I gain self-discipline when I have none
>>2834542
You just have to force yourself to draw and keep up with it. Starting a routine is the most difficult part. Once you get the ball rolling though, it gets easier. It's just something that takes time to develop.
is the boat too big or tree too small? that is the question
>>2833952
chunbum have you ever actually been with a girl with boobs that big or are you just projecting your desires inside your paintings
>>2833955
Sorry but I am just a guy. I dont have boobs
>>2833955
