Thinking of doing a large scale, expressionist theme painting about Brexit/Farage, populism and Trumps election, possibly also featuring Putin and China as well is some form.
Can /ic/ help me to create a title for it to get me started?

"Libtards BTFO" also sounds appropriate.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

What books would you recommend for getting better with values?
>>2776553
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw1iWGZpI5Q
that video or the book by that guy. Invest in a cast and an easel
https://www.fineartstore.com/s-2317-plaster-cast-models.aspx
Pic something you think is interesting with good areas of smooth and detail. I have the facial features set, it's really nice. if you're on the cheap, just buy the eye or the mouth.
this method will teach you about values real good.
>>2776553
color & light by James something.
what will really get you better at values is doing many studies of casts like you have right there in OP pic.

How do I cure my symbol drawing /ic/ and draw things in a more 3-demisional way
>>2776810
by drawing things in a more 3 dimensional way
>>2776810
draw the basic 3d forms and get used to rotating them, just modify and combine into more complex form afterwards.
>>2776810
Bert or Betty from the sticky will fix you.
what are some of the sites or resources you guy's use to improve your art in general? or some kind of course to give you a direction on what to practice? alongside the art books of course.
preferably one without the assistance of live teachers.
>>2777415
Turn off the computer. Take your meds. Grab a pencil and paper. Walk outside. Suppress your social autism. Observe from life. Begin drawing.
thank you but, i haven't a problem against the outside, or of interaction, for that matter.
just asking for a bit of direction w/o the class payments.

I'm finally giving up on my dream of becoming an illustrator.
I don't care enough anymore, and my job is too brutal to sink more than an hour a day into drawing.
I've decided to simply become a passing hobbyist. I don't want to see it turn into a job, but I don't believe in never progressing at all/getting worse.
I've got too many responsibilities to chase my dream. I didn't even look for it. It all came crashing down on my head regardless as to my own life decisions.
Is anyone else in the same boat?
>>2773718
Good for you anon. You don't need to be an "illustrator" to illustrate. Just draw when you can and always try to get better.
But no I'm not in the same boat soo yeah.
>>2773718
I wish I was a NEET again. I was one for 2 months during a short period of unemployment.
I was hitting 7 hour days of drawing everyday. It's quite likely I'll never get back to that zone ever again. I'm 20, and now my family has come to depend on me financially.
I went from being a horrible artist to a border-line mediocre one in that time frame.
I currently have plenty of free-time, but I feel like I'm on a sinking ship regardless. Will likely be in your position soon but I'm holding on.
Can anyone identify this painting?

>most don't make it
depends on your goal negro
>>2776925
most people are not ambitious so they dont count. We are talking about the real deal here.
Tell me something good, no matter how big or small. You just started drawing again, your grasp on perspective is growing, you created a piece you're proud of, you got the job. Shit, something you saw and it inspired the fuck out of you. I don't fucking care, just share something that feels good.
>>2773124
I drew a picture that made me realize how much I've improved!
>>2773124
You're not gonna make it.
>>2773124
I worked a bit on a picture that I thought I finished.
Now the critique is not as crushing.
After I worked on it saw that the harsh critique was deserved in the first place.

Is Proko's pandering to deadbeat normies going to be his fall?
>>2776947
no bully
>>2776947
I was hoping it was a serious attempt, since it's actually possible to make decent drawings with a mouse (at least with the help of SAI stabilizer). Oh well
Does he do figures digitally somewhere? The only digital thing I've seen is that reindeer painting
What do you exactly call this type of design and where can I get more of it? And I don't mean just architecture/interior design, I mean everything from cars to electronics to drawers. It's like Blade Runner cyberpunk but without the neon and the grime. Usually everything is very blocky. It's futuristic yet retro at the same time.
Please dump references. It's really hard to explain because I'm such a newbie when it comes to design.

>It's futuristic yet retro at the same time.
That's literally what it's called. Retro futurism.
It's mostly from the 70's and 80's so look for sci fi movies from that era.
I am sure you're familiar with Syd Mead as he made concept art for Blade Runner. His work has a lot of that blocky aesthetic you're asking for.
