Pretty great Anon, love the mood and the texture. That strand of ghostly cloth dragging over the steps is fantastic.
I hope you're making an art dump otherwise you'll be rightfully eaten alive for not just posting in the drawthread

Why make a print magazine?
Couldn't agree more OP.
Cancelled my schoolism membership, sold my tablet, and threw away all of my sketchbooks.
Such a waste of time. And for what? It's completely unnecessary and serves no purpose.
Art is not needed, especially in today's society where the intellect, personality, and face reigns supreme.
To be honest, the "artistic lifestyle" seems almost like a childish endeavour at this point, and I don't mean any disrespect, but it seems like the most serious artists (asides from guys who are legit conceptartists/illustrators/porn artists but they represent a very low % of dedicated lifters) are also the people with nothing else going on in their lives.
I know this was true with me, I was biggest and most serious about drawing when I was still in uni, working only 15 hours a week, and pretty much just plucking around all the time, going out, with no real life.
To all you kids out there who are getting sucked into the comerical art , try to stop yourself.
So long as you have and maintain decent facial aesthetics, you'll be fine.
Art just not worth it.
cheers
>Want to give up learning to draw
>every time i see a drawing or a fanart i just want to learn again so i resume my lessons
someone identifies with this?
>>2810169
No, I'm already doing lessons but I'm stuck at a wall
Is talent real or am I just too stupid to figure this out
I quit every morning and resume on the afternoon when I see a drawthread or fanart in general.
I just want to get to a point where I can be decent and then slow down on the grind so I can enjoy art and learn to better myself without the pressure that I can't draw for shit right now.
I feel like I know enough, and now I just need to refine with other lessons like imagination and perspective.
hi ive recently started pursuing art. when I'm drawing I get really into it
and forget to blink. I've been doing digital and the computer screen makes it worse. it really hurts. does anyone else have this problem? please help!
Stop before you forget to breathe as well.

If you have a DeviantArt, you're a whiny toddler who needs to be coddled and you should get the fuck off this board.

Op I completely agree.
Cancelled my deviantart account, sold my tablet, and threw away all of my sketchbooks.

can confirm. I got banned for giving critique
So, I read on here an awful lot about non-artist folk (clients) who often have nothing but bad times or experiences with artists they commission. Waiting times, sending payments only for the artists to stop caring, artists being rude and not caring about their work etc etc
So, I ask this board community not just for myself but for upcoming and experienced artists here: What can we do as artists to please the clients?
Do what your paid to do and be on time. There isn't really more to it. It's so simple and yet many artists can't even do that.
finish what they want in a timely manner

Don't be a nigger and work.
Don't be a jew and deliver.
Yo, can any of you recc some cool artists that focus on they way in which dreams and thoughts work (rahter than just dreams in general.)
If there even are any

You're describing Surrealism exactly, OP
For more specific artists, Jim Woodring and Uno Moralez excel at this.
yeah surrealist stuff is ideal, just wanted it to narrow it down to like thought processes n stuff. ty for reccs
I've been having problems with PS since I got it. It doesn't keep up with me when I'm making strokes. There seems to be a 1~1.5s lag between when I make the actual stroke and when it shows up on screen.
I have 5000MB of RAM allocated to PS, 4 cache levels, and an integrated APU instead of a CPU/GPU combo. I feel like it's the APU causing the bottleneck, but I don't really know enough about computers to know for sure.
tl;dr: What hardware should be upgraded to reduce lag between input and display?
Bump. Can we still self-bump on /ic/?

I just want to draw cute anime girls, why i can't just draw cute anime girls ?
Can you recommend me some books or give some general advice about working with acrylic paints?
I got on X-mas pic related: it's a tabletop box easel with some brushes, knife, palette and 18 different acrylic paints.
I can't wait to actually test it out, but I'm a bit afraid of ruining my canvas - I've never painted with real paints before, usually I work digitally. And sticky focuses more on learning how to draw, rather than how to paint traditionally.
>>2790455
Canvases are made to be used, experimented on, reused, thrown away, etc. Treat it like a slightly more expensive sketchbook.
If you know how to draw, then stick to your guns. Set up a reaaaally easy still life with simple lighting, and draw it on the canvas. Don't do any rendering, but rather map out where shadows will be with simple statements.
An easy way to start is to begin with the local colors of objects. So if you have a red apple, then mix a color that closely resembles the overall color of the apple. Then paint an easy shadow tone of the apple by adding some of the local color's complement. In this case green. Add in a background and more shadows if needed. Boom first painting done.
Don't worry about being accurate at this stage, get used to the PROCESS of painting. You will get more accurate and better over time by reading books and doing more paintings.
Also, keep things simple. Don't worry about edges, rather worry about getting values and graphic shapes right before getting into rendering. If you get an abstract lay in of shadow shapes to look like an eye, then rendering will be a cake walk.

So as you can see, I've finished all of this map but the legend. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to paint it. Should I go for stone textures, make him gray haired? I'm really tormented by this for some reason
Stone or rusted metal. Like oxidized copper.
>>2808817
Okay that sounds good. I'll do the whole face and hair like that. Now what do you think would look good for the gaping mouth. Coal black or a darker version of the aforemention with sloping effects?
>>2808811
I hope you spill that blue all over your map, retard
What do you think i really want to be an artist
That's actually pretty impressive.
>>2809138
Yes
