What happened to architecture?
>>2813941
It got expensive
We hired engineers instead

Not true, it has more to do with modernist ideology. It's not necessarily more expensive to build a house in a more classic style of architecture if modern methods are used.
Because you are not talented?
Because you know you will never make it?
Because you don't even enjiy drawing?
Why?
All 3.
Because no one supports me except /ic/.
Because of real life problems unrelated to art. When I'm drawing, even if it's bad, I still enjoy it. But depression makes it very hard to start. Most days I don't do anything. Browsing the internet and sharing my misery with others is much easier.
Look at the main drawthread, reflect, and ask again.

It needs improvement, but it got me thinking. Why does colored art have infinitely more cringe potential than monochrome?
So I dropped a shit ton of acid, and the next day I just drew this. Opinions?
Posts of related artwork is welcome, and any thoughts about this as well.
>explanation
The eye is a representation of the sense of self. It's surrounded by shapes of all types, sharp, dark, light, soft, curves, etc. each line around the page represents a feeling that you can't really put into words. The eye perceives all of this, whether looking directly at it's surroundings or not, it is supposed to represent the elements inside of a mind afterall. The eye itself may look completely surrounded by dark shapes, but in reality, is just another shape like those surrounding it. Take these words for what you will.

Take your lazy shitposting to /b/.
I find it's very soothing to paint abstract with no plan.
Fuck off, we don't care about tripped out phone doodles, go take an overdose.
How do I ensure that I improve on a daily basis?
Assuming I put the hours in.
draw from life everyday. developing a style is a bitch of a thing today, so at least you'll have a back up in fine arts if you don't make that sweet, sweet illustration money.
You cant. Only really and I mean really talented people improve on a daily basis. Common folk gets some improvement over months, not days.

How do I become talented?
Tuts on how to do shading like this?
Also general discussion on sexy body coloring.
>>2814907
Flat color base
Multiply layer using airbrush for shading (use a sharp eraser for hard edges)
Additive layer using airbrush for highlights
1,000 hours of practice
Figure it out yourself, dont be lazy. Erase part of that drawing and try to recreate it youself.
>>2814909
How do I do these parts especially like soft cloth details and creased meaty parts? I always start by with sharp flat shadows on the lighter color base then move on to blurring them but it always ends up looking like the veins on a horsecock.
Is there a source for tuts I can learn this type of shading from?
Why Sakimichan is better than you?
>>2814381
It's really quite simple.
She spends a lot of time painting for her patreon, while I spend a lot of time fapping to fetish porn.
>>2814385
This, I could fap her into a fucking coma.
>>2814381
She's older and had more experience. That's all.
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

There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:

>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.

What program is he using in this video?

Also what is your goal as an artist either currently or overall?
I personally just want to create, to get my character ideas out there and say "Yes i made this, this is mine!" instead of have previously Frankensteined others peoples work to suit my ideas.
>What program is he using in this video?
You serious? That's photoshop.

Looks like photoshop my dude.
>Also what is your goal as an artist either currently or overall?
Game Design(The actual position, not the meme version) requires me to speak both the language of artist and programmers, so partially my goal is to be able to communicate effectively with high end artist to deliver exactly whats needed. The other half is to be able to illustrate and breath life into a scifi horror universe I've been working on for over 5 years, and unfortunately I still have loads of practice to go through before I even allow myself to truly illustrate it..
Do you use the same one for entertainment/gaming/shitposting? Do you use multiple monitors at once? IPS panel? TN panel? Does it matter to you? Would you recommend the monitor to another drawfriend?
For the longest time I've used my monitor without any color calibration and only changed the colors/saturation/brightness based on what I thought looked good at the time and some days I'd just change them for shits and giggles. Then I finally see my work on another monitor or on someone's phone and it looks terrible, but if I have the files with me it's as easy as just shifting some hues/saturation/brightness in each layer because most of my projects are manageable and small. But what if I have to do big projects with silly amounts of layers?
When is it a good time to seriously consider color calibration or monitor quality? Or does it not really matter?
>>2811572
I bought a benQ GWsomethingorother 27" IPS "gaming" monitor that has the panel from one of their photo editing monitors. Everything is now delightfully garish and I see contrast I didn't know existed.
Gamut and calibration matter for photo editing and print work, but otherwise you just want something properly calibrated and well rounded because most monitors are shit and it will look different on every screen you view it on.
Dell UltraSharp IPS
I had a TN LG LCD previously. Connected both as dual display once and was completely amazed at how different the colors looked on them, TN colors looked so washed out and shitty compared to the IPS screen.
I think you should consider it if you're doing color work, didn't know how astonishingly different they were before I saw them side to side. Plus the viewing angles on IPSs are much better. You can see the "true" colors from pretty much everywhere, unlike a regular TN display
TN vs IPS isn't even a question. You're not playing pro Counter Strike. There is absolutely 0 reason to use a shitty 6-bit panel with awful color reproduction, contrast and viewing angles. It's outdated technology and it shouldn't exist anymore.
Any half-decent display won't produce results out of the box that are that vastly different when viewed in another device. If your calibration is that off it's time to buy something that's not a complete turd.
This is worse than /b/ I'm out of here.
Good thread, you wont be missed.
>>2816625
Not gonna make it.
Any thoughts on sketch so far?
It's really rough, especially with using a mouse to draw
The thumb and pinkie need adjustments
>Any thoughts on sketch so far?
It's shit.
>It's really rough, especially with using a mouse to draw
You couldn't do better on a cintiq the size of an airfield.
>The thumb and pinkie need adjustments
Your attitude needs adjustment.
Read the sticky and fuck off.

The one on the right because she's just floating.

the figure in the far back. it's only lined up to the man on the left's center. so it's literally half the height of the man.

Thoughts on his style?

He's a fat disgusting fucked up pedophile, but I love his style. I'd really like to be able to get his book but I'm not sure where to find it.
I think his stylization is brilliant. Anyone got links for his artbooks?
