Anyone know how to go about creating a nice paper texture like shown in this image? It seems like some sort of rgb noise + a pattern with some some changes to add wear, but maybe that's completely wrong.
>>2835551
Usually it's best to use high-resolution scans for these kinds of things.
Some artists make their own, most download stock.
You could recreate it with the aforementioned filters to a degree, but if you want to include natural irregularities, you're better off using the real thing.
>>2835551
The "rgb noise" is a half tone pattern which you can generate in photoshop. And yes, there also appear to be a texture on top. Just google paper texture or something and you'll find hundreds of hits.
I wish there was a better noun for people who draw and paint now that "artist" means something far more generic

illustrator?
>>2835246
>What is an illustrator, a painter, etc.
>>2835248
Illustrator is a specific job for people who draw and paint, it doesn't include concept artists, comic artists, fine artists, ect.
The closest we have is visual artist
is this even legit ??
in just one year?
>>2832842
both are pretty shit so i would say yeah
>>2832842
You say it like the first one isn't good or something.
>>2832842
heres what happen
the pinoy artist who drew this learned not to symbol draw, and now he can somewhat decently copy photos
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

>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: >>2828853
How do you manage brain usage as an artist? In what order should you do things every day?
Let's say I'd like to do a bargue drawing (which needs a lot of focus), read a book that has a lot of talking, do a 30 min sketch and watch a video that needs attention
How to make it all work for the best efficiency?
1)30 min sketch when you wake up. don't eat before you finish eat
>eat
2)bargue drawing in the late morning
>rest, or do other stuff what you want that isnt related before early evening
3)as early evening starts watch that crappy video you wanna watch, i think it won't be more than hour so...
4)remaining evening read the book
>sleep or if you have time do some other stuff
>next day repeat
i would do it like this if i had entire day free.
to be honest i think you are lazy because this is not too much and is easily managable i think, i would do all of this in only morning half before i eat and half after, limit your time on computer, you don't need to shitpost more than 1.30 hour (according to recent studies) and that time is also maximum amount best would be 15 minutes a day or even zero.

don't eat before you finish it*
Regardless of what you're doing ALWAYS take breaks. There's no pride in drawing 16 hours straight and getting RSI or burned out.
So /ic/
Color Theory
I just don't understand.
Like.. I UNDERSTAND it. I just don't understand why I can't get that on paper. I've dedicated 2017 to really working on improving myself, and one of my faults (of which I have many) is that I can't seem to grasp color theory to create an appealing palette.
Could you take a look at these and help me figure out what I'm not doing right?
I made this to commemorate the great beksinski, do you like it? Isn't finished though...
But, anon. That is Beksinski's. Are you tracing? What are you doing? Why not make an original piece?
What tutorial/guides would you recommend someone to learn about making comics? And I mean good ones that are about interesting plot and characters.
My big inspiration is Berserk, not because its a manga but because its a well written story, so id like to do something like it.
You want to learn how to write well, but you come to /ic/? A bit confused to be honest.
Writing is just all about following plot structure and arcs. To know how to do it well with manga requires you to have read a ton of manga. Since they go by in chapters, a cliffhanger is sometimes necessary and that can change the story greatly since a novel doesn't always read like that.
>>2835308
No no, I want to know how to make comics, how to do panels in an interesting way and so on. I dont know a thing about making comics.
Framed Ink by Marcos Mateu might help you out, you should be able to find it in the artbook thread
If I feel that trying to draw a specific pose is difficult, or I have to think a lot, but can still manage it in the end, does that mean I don't really know the subject?
>>2835063
i dunno
>>2835063
Depends what you mean by really know.
You're not proficient or a master, but you know something. I believe what really matters is if you can draw again with less difficulty then that means you understand it more.
>>2835071
Like, so I think of a cool pose for a figure, I can imagine it in my head, but it takes a while or like multiple tries of redrawing and constructing for it to finally look like what I was going for. This has happened quite a bit lately, so I'm wondering if this is actually helping me in anyway
I want specific softcore hentai comics or animation involving 2 men competing for a female in some way, one losing and getting eaten by the female, the winner impregnating the female who was nourished by the loser's body, and POSSIBLY have the female shitting out what's left of the loser (I hate scat porn, but I might like this). How cheap could I get porn commissions for stuff like this (Maybe minus the poop stuff) and where could I find artists?
>>2834124
I'll do it for $35 per page

Eka's portal is a vore site where they have loooads of artists for this kind of thing. Most are pretty expensive tho.

How can you make it if jews pay less and less each year? There are more artists nowadays too, a starving artist is a sad reality.
Good prole, keep blaming le ebil j00 conspiracy™, all hail capitalism almighty.

You don't, it's just going to get worse and worse.
/ic/ how do we become blissful and oblivious again? Meanwhile we study and grind fundamentals there are those who draw plain and cute things, have fun and get their work shared despite their terrible drawing flawed anatomy and lack of perspective.
It's almost depressing to be self aware of your faults, hinder yourself from posting because you know you lack the knowledge to provide a good drawing. No wonder we commiserate in a circlejerk and point and laugh at others in the "autistic improvements" threads.
The more you're enlightened, the unhappier you become.
I'd rather be unhappy and good than be a fucking pleb that has no value and be happy with that.
Ignorance is bliss, all that stuff but once you want that, you lose.
You know it used to bother me too but it gets less pointed over time until its like
whatever

You're studying wrong.
