I also want to add this. Don’t let your ideologies mix with your art. If you receive negative criticism over a piece of yours that features a man with a woman’s body and you call that critic a “trans-phobic bigot” because of it. You are only setting yourself back and you’ll never improve with that god awful mindset.

Someone tell this bitch to quit advertising her shitty art and shitty opinion.

Another painting, for good measure

>bristol paper
Pretty sure that's your problem. Uncoated paper is super absorbent. Acrylic gesso is absorbent enough that a painting would need oiling-out, and paper makes gesso look practically hydrophobic.

The sketches I did were on chipboard triple-primed with gesso. And "grounds" basically means a prep layer of primer/size/gesso/etc on top of your "support" canvas/board/etc.

I hope wall-primer anon reports back with results soon.

There's a lot of paintings posted that lean more towards direct and thick paint that highlight the brush strokes a lot, so here is something to represent the layered method.

>>2780576
Yeah I could tell the bristol was doing a lot of absorbing, but I wasn't sure that was responsible for the appearance of my surface.
I'll do some more practice on primed surfaces, thanks anon. I really appreciate your input.

It's all about proper design and good thumbnails/compositions.

What you would like to do if you do digital art, is to get a hack like Scott Robertson (see here at (18:00 , generally watch all)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diMDoFkN73s

also his talk about atmospheric perspective, generally I recommend Robertson for all things design (and AFAIK he also has gnomon about environments)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayjbpopn5EI

Also the bit around 3 minute in first video, when he talks about Modo replicators he basically says about making in 3D program an environment from mashed-up simple shapes and then paintover:

Putting it all aside:

Compostion and Thumbnails. Make a lot of abstract thumbnails with limited palette of colors or even with like 2 or 3 or hell, even with something that only varies by value. Then see what works and what doesn't.

Remember that this is a design work mostly. Like in your pic, those two goblins are crucial there to show the scale, without them this pic wouldn't work.

You need a flat brush (not a square one, a literally flat one, like this line -) that responds to angle, rudimentary understanding of color theory and zero point perspective

Thanks senapi!

It doesn't matter as long as you don't call it your own work.

That's a pretty stupid sentiment bruh. What the fuck do you think of printmaking? What the fuck do you think of photography? What the fuck do you think of found object art?

If you're replicating an image in a different medium to create a different look you're creating a novel work divorced from it's source. Of course it becomes "your own work." Nobody gives a shit about the AP photographer that took the photo that Shepard Fairey turned into the HOPE piece. Nobody gives a shit about the guys that took the photos that Warhol replicated.

Not to mention that the question wasn't really about making EXACT replicas of other people's shit, just using a transfer medium to get your image on the canvas instead of spending the additional time trying to recreate the image free hand. I use existing images all the time that are edited and altered in photoshop, printed, transferred, and painted. If you think that effort and outcome isn't *my* work you're a bit of a pretentious know-nothing dickhead.

give critique where you can

what sort of answer were you expecting

Hang around the recurring threads like the alternate art and beginner threads and help there because at least people in those places have relevant questions and are actually drawing and looking for advice. Most one off threads by contrast are dumbasses who'd rather waste their time shitting on other artists or bitching about how they're never gonna make it so it's not even worth bothering to "help" those people out.

Post work.

I commute two hours every day by train and always draw/paint on the ipad on the ride. Occasionally I will stop by some docks or whatever and do plein airs

>>2828124
Too nervous to take my stuff out and draw my fellow passengers on the tube, London Underground, 45 min journey of reading a book

>>2828129
>45 min
Do you take that trip everyday for work or something? I wish my city had a public train system. Could save a lot of money on gas and wouldn't have to pay loans for a car.

Also just get to sit and relax and do whatever since driving long distances suck ass.

Blender. It's free and there are introductory and low-poly tutorials on youtube.

>>2833275
you will have a bad time. making this into a 3d form requires knowledge of form (obviously you didn't even make this) and learning a new 3d program is always a nice learning curve. its not impossible, but it will take time.


have fun!

I would avoid sprays like the plague. Way overpriced for what they actually contain and create excessive fumes. Just buy the tin version of whatever it is and apply by brush.

>>2831851

Krylon is garbage.
Also, I would avoid sprays for oil paintings because usually the medium is so thick it clogs the nozzle and drups onto the painting. I'll buy offbrand(treehouse was one I used for acrylics that was great) because Krylon is literally that bad.

Just do what >>2832322
said and buy a ton for oil paintings and brush them on. Just make sure you have a soft, wide brush so there are less brushstrokes, and have the correct cleaner so your brush doesn't turn into a rock.

Blender. Just download a mannequin, place it in the scene, add and move lights around, done.

looks like shes packing a dick. Anatomy doesn't match the perspective, your anatomy in general needs work. She has a man face with slight feminine features. No clear light source. You're missing darks on her. The dark of the shadow means that that there should be a clear difference between your lights and shadows.. You need to work on color.
