It depends on how you define "meme results".

>>2776180
it is really good for learning how to draw from reference and developing your critical eye, but a lot of the book is just discussion about neurology, overall not a meme but there are probably better books out there.

>>2776180

Focus on the exercises.

i used to think that it didn't matter, because improvement happens with your brain not the materials you use. until i realized that I'm quite shit at drawing traditionally, while being very good at digital painting. I had amatuer issues like I couldn't scale things the right size and end up making things too big or too small, as well as tunnel vision where i'd start off big and end up tiny and disproportionate. drawing digitally is very convenient because you can resize things, erase easier, go back, flip the image etc. there are so many shortcuts that you can't get with traditional. So imo traditional is more challenging, therefore if you improve there, you'll improve twice as much with digital.

>>what a dumb question the answer is obvious
>No it's not.
yeah it is. it's all muscle memory. if you sit there and grind perfect circles on paper it's the same motion in digital unless you're a pleb who sits there ctrl+z a million times for every stroke.

>>2776879
My biggest problem with digital is that you can't trust it. I've had it from both sides:
I look at a very good drawing in my hand, then when I digitize it, I realize it looks like utter crap or
I print a digital drawing of mine and suddenly it looks 50% better.

I don't know why this happens, or if it's just me.

>>2776882
Not the same movements. If you have a small tablet like most people, your movements are way less wide than on paper, not to mention you're looking forward to the screen while drawing on your right when digital, a completely different position from when drawing traditional.

I see where you're coming from, but that's a very weak and thoughtless argument.

Pretty good, OP!

Rlly? I'm not really into drawing since my childhood, this one I did yesterday, had nothing to do

I feel like I'd like this better in person, but photographed it's boring. If it's supposed to be arranged in a family portrait setting, I'd ditch the chair or get a comfier looking one. The current one looks out of place. Or install something junk to go with the portraits on the end table, like a candle or something. If you're feeling cheeky, some bird-related shit (a spilled bag of feed, bird toys, whatever).

Otherwise, from far away, the birds look nice, but there's not a lot of contrast in a lot of them from far away (and maybe even close up). The colors look kind of muddy too.

It's a charming idea overall, but kind of boring. Sure people who see it in person would be endeared though (the longer I look the more charmed I am honestly).

I really appreciate the feedback. Anyone else? The paintings are not quite as bright in person as this image but a little brighter than the image. But because they are on paper I put them under glass which creates this sort of barrier and dulls the image due to the glare (even with non-glare glass) the best thing I've tried for the glare is plexiglass, but that gets rather expensive (i dunno, maybe I'll do it because the dullness bothers me too)

If the photo actually matters you should use a telephoto lens from across the room, there's this image is pretty distorted

Hello. Bum. I would like to buy. how do I buy a painting? your majesty.

>>2775417
Go to vangoart or saatchiart and buy online. Thank you. :D

>>2775421
I was just kidding. your art sucks. Your not welcome.

>>2772538
Just troll them with your ability to draw anime tiddy in 5-point perspective and accurately render fluids running over various surfaces. Art students are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet after musicians and easily shitter shattered by anyone more technically skilled than them. Bonus points if you make more than them doing it and don't have student loans. Hard mode: have complete creative control.

Modern art is a money laundering meme

Y'all some normal motherfuckers just like everyone else.
Opinions and shit.

Because it's true. Same thing happens when you call /ic/ out for being hacks.

>>2776548
In my experience most normies do not understand or appreciate either artist. Stop trying to be a special snowflake.

>>2776559
not being a special snowflake, pollock was a hack.

Search the archive, there have been multiple threads on FZD and it's not worth hashing out a new thread over it as it leads to people arguing usually
