Enjoyable show. Objectively shit from an art standpoint.

>>2818136
I dont really care about art, the writing is really good and I really like the characters.

>>2816259
i heard somewhere that everyone has two habits that they do to take their mind off actual work.

could be food, or tv, or video games, or drinking/drugs, or sex...

If you cut out one or both of those things you allow yourself to pass the time you'll find it's much easier to focus on artwork. Good artwork is about suffering, and putting your artwork before your own needs. Force yourself to suffer and you'll get better faster.

I think Feng Zhu had a video where he said to withhold having fun until you finish a certain number of hours of drawing per day, but I disagree with that. You should cut out something you do for fun entirely, and that frees up a lot of the space in your mind once you've lost the need for your particular vice.

Live a boring life, and you are more or less guarenteed to be a great artist, even if you only draw 4 or 5 hours a day.

How do I shift my mindset from where art is painful and suffering to a point where I can't relax unless I'm creating art and it's as comfortable as playing video games or watching tv
It really makes me question whether or not I actually enjoy art if I can't fall into it easily

>>2816346
Just draw some dumb shit for fun. Its not really possible for art to be fun 100% of the time, but I've been having a much better time since I started not taking it so seriously all the time.

But she's actually good.

>>2819755
great. more mentally retarded artists. just what the world needs!

>>2819757
I never said she wasn't.

>>>/i/ is one click at the left m8

The only way is bitcoin but imagine most wouldn't wanna make the effort to learn how to use them.

>>2819689
Bitcoin is the opposite of anonymous

>>2819658

Use a business paypal account so that it shows your business name or use initials for your name.

1-Get an scanner or resizing app, and move it
2-try using the catalog next time >>2819114
3-Is horrible. read the sticky

>>2819659
ok

I decided to open the catalogue and sample the state of how trash /ic/ is right now and came to these results, did it quickly so I probably missed a few:

>retards posting their shit art in their own thread - 27
>pop artist artist drama threads (irakli, sakimichan, etc) - 9
>self pity threads - 7
>"ID this art for me" threads - 3
>threads shitposting about talent - 2
>meta threads bitching about how shit /ic/ is - 2

As you can see, OP, you are one of 27 other retards who didn't take the half a second required to locate the beginner thread, which is on the first or second page 90% of the time.

>drawing from like
life.

>I just don't see how it differs from drawing from like

Assuming you mean life, you'll notice the old masters aren't human photocopiers. They make decisions on where to add detail and where to leave it out, they make decisions on colour choice and value, they make decisions on brush economy, on composition, etc.

A book will probably teach you theory better than a master painting, and generally it's most useful for you to know the theory/basic fundamentals before you're studying master paintings because once you know that, you know what you're looking for. And that said: copying a master drawing isn't very helpful, studying one is. A good approach is to take a painting you already like and try to figure out what you like about it in concrete terms, then identify how the artist evoked that response. From there try to replicate it (usually with a study of the painting) and once you think you've got it, apply it to something new. Sometimes it also helps you 'discover' little tricks and shorthands they used which you didn't notice when just looking at the painting (like "oh that detailed looking reflection is actually just a squiggled line, and it's actually beige not pure white!"). There is nothing about a "master study" that means you need to replicate the painting brainlessly, if you like Rembrandt's values you can just do value studies of him.

>>2818960
the point of the master study is about colour theory, brush mileage and also the belief that some of their style will rub off on you if you do enough of them.

You're not just re painting for the sake of it. You're supposed to be analysing the piece as you paint it. Teaching yourself to identify colors that aren't that obvious to see and learning how to use them in your own art.

The edges are badly cropped and the foliage looks Half-assed

The environment is dully lit without a strong direct lightsource and the character is brightly lit with several strong lightsources (a rimlight from the left and one from above/behind - yet the cast shadow suggests it comes from the exact opposite direction somehow). The hard edges caused by badly cut out elements is not good either. For example the fog or the clouds have razersharp edges where in reality it would have lost edges or none at all.

>>2815910
The rock that the character is standing on is angled slightly upwards yet the character is angled slightly down, looking like she is walking down a ramp instead of up.

I'm really drawn to him because his textures and shading seem to be really on point for a beginner like me so I could probably learn a lot.

>>2812698
imagine sticking ur dick in that

He's making some mistakes, but you could do a lot worse if you're a beginner. Just don't hold him up in your head as end-all-be-all.

Someone spent £750 (approx $1500) on this.

>>2819534
why do you give a shit

well i guess you could look at some other art..more modern art would probably be easier to blend into grafitti..look up some general movements...impressionism, expressionism, surrealism, neoplasticism, abstract expressionism, pop art....techniques or subjects could inspire you perhaps

>trying to brak graffiti down to a science

dumb dumb there is no science to graffiti. just fucking composite it evenly and make sure it looks cool. jesus fucking Christ u graffers are a bunch of fuck tards.

>>2818159
do it like any other art, find artists that you like and study the fuck out of them, copy their pieces and try to get their shape design and colors and effects accurately, then try to apply it to your own stuff
