Rookie artist. Tell me what you liked or disliked, and how I could improve. Thanks
>>2818448
blog? :^)))))))))
>>2818448
i love it
> more?
>>2818448
There is nothing to improve as there is no ambition I can't see reached in your pic
By that I mean that you made "cartoony" instead of real anatomy or shading or whatever. It would be better if you said in what you want to get better.
Coloring?
Rendering?
Shading?
Dynamism?
Anatomy?
Art style?
Composition?
Perspective?
Strokes/lineart?
Is it better/worth it to try to improve line control through boring exercises, or will it just come naturally if I draw a lot? For those who have struggled with line control in the past, what helped you to improve? I find it very frustrating to try to draw when my lines won't come out right.
>>2817012
It is worth it, but it's beginners get bored of it quickly, so it's easier to tell them to just draw something.
Yes. Five, ten minutes every (other) day before you start, make circles, parallel lines, ellipses, and curves focusing on repetition of form.

After shitposting on /i/ and getting nowhere, I was referred to here and told to fuck off
I will post three drawings, I want you guys to tell me exactly what's wrong with them
I did not make the drawings, but I know the person who did, and I will post proof I know them
Now, critique away so he can make his art better
>>2818506
The second
there are threads for this, kill yourself you retard. sage
>>2818506
The third
ITT:
Sketches and critique.
I'll start, my style is pretty abstract. Did this in one day.
Selfbump
No. 2
if you were my retarded son i'd put it on the fridge/10
Could I get some advice on this. I know the feet and hands are pretty bad, but what do y'all think of the rest of it?
Wow! This is pretty good. You have some really appealing shape design and fantastic linework. Your understand of cloth is pretty good as well, lots of artists including myself struggle with this. I think you can improve the detail though but overall your fundamentals are strong, do you have a blog or something? I wanna follow your work
>>2818150
Wow, I wasn't expecting this much enthusiasm! Really appreciate the response, and the detail you put into it. I don't have a blog, but I was considering opening a deviantart. Might do that tonight and get you a link. Again, thanks for the response.

Is that Eclair from dog days?
??
Anyways, I'll give it and 8/8 m8.
I remember a thread like this some time ago that turned out pretty good.
Draw what you see in this shape and post a new shape for someone else to draw. Avoid doing overly simple shapes.
Enjoy.
What kind of hardware do you guys use, including but not limited to tablets, peripherals, computers and their specs?
What sort of drawing aids, references, guides or models do you use?
multiple mirrors
How God are the best at drawing perfect circles? Just broke my phone stylus practicing.
Seeing how someone draws a circle is really a good way of determining their skill level. It's kind of funny.
>>2816439
This. Freehand circles and elipses are basically 80% of knowing how to draw
>>2816434
I had a professor for geoscience modeling that could freehand perfect circles. Couldn't draw for shit though.
>ctrl+pain
I've been out of doing digital art for a few years now and was wondering if its still a good one or if any better painting programs have surfaced since then.
>>2818007
yes

I liked it desu
What are some good warm up exercises?
>>2818060
tracing
>>2818060
circles, ellipses, straight lines
gestures... in perspective!
anything fun in my opinion is a pretty good warm up, just to get you in the drawing mode
Does anyone have the streams saved from when yoshikadu streams ? I really, really want to be able to go over them and learn but I feel like I missed a lot.
>>2816794
there was an anon who recorded most of his streams but he died.
>>2816796
>tfw not sure if recalling correctly or not but was sure that anon said he was in the military
So he really died
>>2816794
convince him to use livestream or subscribe to picarto
This is not one of those "I could do that/my 5 year old can do that" kind of things, and if this is not the place to discuss this my apologies.
I genuinely want to understand what makes people "get" abstract art. I've seen pieces, had them evoke some sort of feeling or such. I understand they represent abstract concepts and can work on what they represent. But I've also been told that what I interpret from time to time isn't what it "means". What of the relationship of the viewer and the piece? Why is there a "right" interpretation. I've also seen pieces that were terrible but then someone explains it to me and I get a sort of appreciation. But is the art really good if it does not speak for itself? When it requires an explanation? It often doesn't feel like the appreciators of this sort of thing have any kind of authentic relationship to the art but rather a pretentious pride in knowing more. People make it inaccessible. Does it really require a lenghty education in the subject to "get" it?
>inb4 money laundering
Fun fact. Nobody really "gets it". They're all a bunch of debt-ridden brainlets using big "esoteric" art words like "composition" inappropriately to sound smart.

>I've also been told that what I interpret from time to time isn't what it "means"
If what you're interpreting is "this part kind of looks like a horse" that makes sense, it's not supposed to represent anything concrete (for non-objective art, not all abstract art). if you get a different emotion than the artist supposedly intended that's fine.
>But is the art really good if it does not speak for itself?
No. Pollock would agree with this sentiment more than anyone. He didn't want to convey some try-hard message, his works are just paint on a canvas, neither representing nor pretending to be anything else.
>Does it really require a lenghty education in the subject to "get" it?
No, it can be immediate, or an acquired taste. Education helps a lot of the time because people have a lot of preconceived notions about what art is or should be, and that colors their engagement with a piece. So you need a broader look at art and art history to understand art has had many different forms, defined differently by different times and cultures, and doesn't necessarily need to fit a certain mold. Learning about art history doesn't mean you will or should like everything that you learn about, but it can inform your judgement and broaden narrow views by deconstructing the barriers that we put up due to personal or cultural definitions of art.
This anon is correct >>2814212
The whole "modern art"meme is just people saying "If you don't get this you aren't smart," and everyone pretending to get it.
It's actually just shit and yes a 5 year old could do it. Actually use your brain and look at some of Pollock's "work" and try and find a way to call that art.
Does anyone know anything about this?
very orientarrrr
Hey i've been here before and i'm back for more. My drawings have improve heavily from my yukiko drawing, what do you think?
Really, good, but next time don't press so hard when you're drawing. The pencil creates indentations in the paper and when you color over it, it leaves those white lines which look horrible. Keep it up. Hope to see more.
This is ass
Oh, fuk u guys then. You act like i need to improve when im alredy perfect. screw off, ur jest haters
