How do I get photoshop to stop doing this?
I think lazy nezumi fixes that.

Have you tried using something other than Photoshop?
I'm a /k/ommando new to this whole 'art' thing, I just started drawing the other day when I sketched something while bored and it looked pretty neat, long story short, I'm in to art now. Anyway, I've been starting by copying other people's work, mostly Andreas Hauge, you've probably never heard of him but he drew illustrations for the Norwegian field manual. Can someone tell me some artists with a style like his, preferably /k/ related?
Forgot to mention, picrel
Ivor Hele.

Nice, thank you
Is it worth reading everything that is there or should I go straight forward to exercises (if there are any). I am not a complete beginner but I would like to work on my measurement and overall proportion skills so I want to read that book.
Also I heard that there is a smaller version of it without all the science talk, can anyone link it?
There are 2 books, main one and workbook. Skip what you'd like, exercises are important. Talking is kinda tolerable, there's good information there, not scientific but made with good intent.
The book itself is dumb, it is full of falacies and she lacks knowledge in neuroscience, but the exercises are excelent. It will remove any excuses that you have about drawing and you will learn that it is all about technique.
Read it, it is fast, but do not believe the pseudo science about the brain.

Also, you should only read mostly to remove your limitations, after that, you will need to study a real course.

should i be practicing it?

visual memory > human copy machine
Expanding your visual library is one of the most important things you can do, especially if you focus on designs.
whats the best way to learn to draw if you want to develop your own artistic style, rather than copy a predefined style such as manga or photorealism.
Read the Sticky
like what? do you want to be unique? thats fucking gay senpai

Keep on experimenting, do bizarre things all the time, yet also practice the fundamentals.
With experimental art, color is the most important. How you play with color will determine your own artistic and visual style that sets it apart from other people's.
Try to think of new ways to visualize things like face, body, hand, and other parts of the body, as well as every day objects and scenes.
Does the sticky work or it's just a meme?
>>2828461
hard work works, now draw.
>>2828461
The sticky has not helped anyone on this board.
Fact.
>>2828469
> opinions
Not the point of the sticky, its suppose to point you in the right direction. No one can help you if you're hopelessly lazy. Now fuck off.
Post me low-res memes that you want resized and 'restored', so to speak.
Bear in mind that I'll be using GIMP and a mouse to fix those images. So it may: 1. take time; 2. suck or simply not look as good as if it was done by someone with a digitizer; 3. be impossible.
Pic related is one of my '''works'''. The original to that image can be easily found on google images with the term 'thinking pepe'.
Can you restore one of my old works?
>>2833623
Might as well post the mona lisa for me to restore you little scamp

>comparing an industry standard wip to a turd that took 7 years to polish to look like a reject from a sakimichan wannabe convention
Never post here again.
You know those cartoon episodes about little kids finding out their superheroes were actually just assholes in costumes
thats how i feel right now
one artist who i have been inspired by and looking up to for years now let me follow their private twitter account and its just the worst sjw hell experience desu
and its not that i cant handle other peoples political beliefs or anything i was just in it for the art, but its just... so bad...
(and no i dont want to make a /pol/ thread im just legit sad someone i looked up to so much seems to be such a nasty person)
do you know this feel ?
they dont even post art anymore as it seems, fucc
>>2833140
Sometimes it's better to just stay ignorant and not follow an artist too closely, no matter how much you admire their art and want to know them more, just, keep a distance, else the illusion will shatter.
Imo follow actual artists, not blogger pundit wannabes desu.
>>2833182
but this person is genuinely talented and got jobs in the game industry since age 18
its not some wannabe steven universe shit its genuinely amazing
the reason i followed the twitter account was because there was absolutely no place where this person is posting art on a regular basis (at least known to me) so i hoped to find something there

>“Practice as much as you feel you can accomplish with concentration. Once when I became concerned because others around me practiced all day long, I asked [my professor] how many hours I should practice, and he said, ‘It really doesn’t matter how long. If you practice with your fingers, no amount is enough. If you practice with your head, two hours is plenty.’”

ITT Pointless studies that took unnecessarily long and didn't teach you shit
#humblebrag
How do I convince you that it did teach you something
>>2829926
because i've done nothing but studies and my only drawing from imagination looks like utter shit
so i keep doing these pointless fucking studies
too scared to spend 10 hours on yet another failure

Hey can you please tell me what ya think?
>>2833770
you managed to make a very funny cartoon scene completely unfunny
it is a feat on it's own
>>2833763
you are a fucking unfunny loser
As the title said post modern morbid painters that do the job of eliciting the emotion that is fear, sadness, regret etc. etc.
>>2833745
after you op
Fine, I'll get the ball rolling, assuming OP wants to talk about contemporary and not modern painters.
Adaption of a painting by Nicola Samori (the original is not as wide), Samori represented Italy at the Venice Biannale last year and is the darling of the interwebs.
Figure appropriated from Jusepe de Ribera's portrait of St. Andrew and "face" from Francisco Goya's Procession of Flagellants.

how does /ic/ feel about artists who rework other people's/franchise's characters into their medium and sell it for profit?
this includes any depiction or recreation of a character, or any obvious parodies of said character, included in the art
>>2832169
like matrix ?
It's kind of nebulous.
On the one hand I have no problem with fan art for franchises and think it's mostly mutually beneficial, but on the other hand I understand why it'd be annoying as an artist/designer to have someone take your design and sell it.
It cracks me up when I see artists indignantly bitch that someone slapped their fan-art on a t-shirt and sold it.
>>2832175
overthinking it, though that's an interesting take
an example could be knitting little mario heads and selling them, or painting pokemon in strange or different styles and selling copies of those
