Why does everything have to be sci-fi? Christ, how come people have such shit taste. Entertainment can't be art. Go back to elementary school if you just want to watch robots battling alien space marine instead of actually consuming art smdh.

Pretty much. The role of art is to deliver the effect of spiritual catharsis or cleansing and liberation. In order to do this, art needs to transcend, it has to bring spiritual vision into reality. The role of entertainment is quite a lot different from art, which carries within itself a mystic truth and transcendental purpose. Entertainment is amusement, not a spiritual catharsis.

It realy depends what your goals are.
If you want to be a portrait artist, then you don1t have to know how to work from imagination.

>>2836543
post ones you've done from ref and ones you've done from imagination. there's obviously going to be a huge disparity. its always easier to draw with a ref, but drawing from imagination is still valueable.

You answered your own question. You don't even know how a head works. You're just copying lines. If all you do is copy and don't understand, that is called proko-ing.

No, fedoras are fedoras of the art world. No one wears berets even ironically.

>>2836572
can you post a picture of your work?

>>2836572
That's the way I draw mostly, but you still need to reference light, poses and materials, or your shit will end up wrong, after finishing something take a while and think what you can improve, and work on it in your next drawing. Also make sure to look at good arts and pictures and focus on the details you see in them, this will imprint in the back of your shit eyes, and you can pull it out when you need it

Post some shit, I used to be like this, and the reason was I was symbol drawing, you want to l2p or you'll hit a wall

Pretty dec

Thank you.

No, you just outgrew being a child. It doesn't come back. This is what life really is. No magic, just hard work.

>>2836499
it doesnt have to be like that anon
im close to 30 now and stil lsee the magic in amazing artworks

Depends on your point of view, I guess.
I still connect on an emotional level with art I liked as a child (even if it's not that good, artistically), and I find even more magic in great art because I know how much effort is needed to make it great.
For me, I think my enthusiasm about art has increased as I've learned more about it.

>>2836412

>>2836412

I find this to be pretty true. Most amateurs are fixated on weeb shit and typical visdev video game/animation art. Those things have their audience but those fields are already clogged up with so many artists. It's incredibly bloated. I don't get how the same repetitive paintings and installations of abstractions can get any sort of attention in this day and age either.

Someone like James Jean is both skilled and incredibly inventive enough with his ideas to appeal to just about everybody. He is well-versed in both pop culture and fine art and the interplay of the two makes for great imagery. It's not everyday you find someone who makes work as unique as his. I know one of his clients and from what I've heard, he makes a killing from his work. To me, he's definitely the illustrator that I look up to the most for these reasons.

>stop liking things I don't like

>>2834521
james jean's work is literally the first thing I've ever said 'wow' to out loud.

I just realized I follow more graphic designers than artists on Instagram, probably because I actually studied /gd/ stuff. Hm.

Anyway, this guy probably might fit the bill for an artist rather than a designer alone, although it's still design oriented stuff.

I'm not even talking about his art camp thing because that came after his fame. But before he started that he was still fairly popular selling advice for freelance concept artists... the dude was like mid 20s and already uber famous.

What was his secret?

>>2836364
Coz he's a fuckin attentionwhore

https://medium.com/@noahbradley/how-i-became-an-artist-4390c6b6656c#.14r5h1tkh

He literally wrote a post about it, OP. What the fuck? All he did was git gud and sold his shit.
