Question about oil paints...
So, the first underpainting needs to be thin, with turpentine, correct? Do each layer after require this as well?
I've been having trouble by accidentally muddying up all my brushes making painting anything impossible.
Anything I was putting down on the canvas was getting mixed and I could never layer my paints.
Also, my blending brush keeps getting muddy too.
I know it's a noob question but, how should I be cleaning my brush between each color I choose?

None of the layers truly require turpentine, although it helps with toning down the canvas easily and getting rid of the whiteness.
Get more brushes.
Paint specific passages per session.
True layering only on dried layer. No turp.
Some say when there's still some tack is best to paint on. I can't guarantee this. Turp will weaken this layer and thus mix with.
You don't really need a blending brush.
Use more brushes.
We'll need more information to really help, because we don't know your process of painting, such as how you aim to make gradations. Oil painting is very versatile. If you give an artist you like it would be better. There's an oil painting general thread as well.

I used five brushes on my last painting. They were -all- muddy.
Any oil painting demo I've seen on YouTube that doesn't use paint thinner to create an under paint ends up looking like shit.
It's impossible to paint overtop of anything to create layers during one session without creating mud unless you have very thin paint with turpentine it seems.

Do the exact opposite of what this nigger is saying
What is /ic/s opinion on Manabu Ikeda?
Jesus Christ, never heard of him but definitely looking into now.
>>2774679
Painting usually take roughly 3 years to do for him since they are pretty huge.
>>2774677
he's skilled but I never get why some artists draw a huge mess with no contrast whatsoever.
looks like dogpoo t b h.
Is /ic/ good at drawing in an anime style?

art schools are a meme.
the internet gives you enough resources to study art yourself (if you're not a lazy piece of shit).
save your money!
>>2774651
>Internet has all the resources you need meme
If /ic/ isn't enough for you to become good, just go to art school. We're the second best alternative.
>>2774605
I'm curious about this school too, It has quite a few industry vets and started as an atelier. Is there anyone here who went there?
Has being good at art helped you attract girls?

>>2773906
why would you want girls? they are nothing but problems. there is a reason why wise men say "think with your head, not your balls".
Critiques? I make this kind of thing with sharpies all the time.
bretty good b8
Never have I seen such a waste of time and ink.
Most shapes are of the same size (big no-no), colors too strong, choose 1 or 2 more pigmented and make the rest more dull/grey (ik you're using sharpies but they limit your range of colors that you can use)
The composition doesn't tell me anything either, choose 1 or 2 point of interest and work with that
Try working with organic shapes inspired by nature (eg. feathers, sea shells, tree roots)
You have a lot to learn, good luck! c:

Let's adapt a slow-paced post-cyberpunk anime with realistic environment and poignant atmosphere.
But what if people don't get it's sci-fi?

Can someone help me out with this. Found this in an old bowling alley that has been closed down about 7 or so years now. It's decent sized (41x31) however I'd like to know more about this piece. Or atleast who made it.

Nice! Which studio are you trying to work at?
Finished a new piece looking for some crit, it's my first time trying a college mixed media project and I want to know what guys think..
>collage mixed media
That's what children do with their scrap books.
kill yourself
It's not even good as experimental/collage art. It's unappealing and cringeworthy.
