NEVER GIVE UP

YOU'RE SO SHIT, THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO BUT UP

YOU CAN ONLY GET BETTER, YOU PIECE OF SHIT

In other words, read the sticky and don't make your own threads. If you don't have they guts to dedicate your life to art, you better just give up now.

how do you think art works? "ok here is my drawing its not good but maybe its good enough to say i dont wanna pracitce anymore"
art is never over
even pros like fucking sergei kolesov still practice and draw every day

ok "should i keep practicing"
do you ENJOY DRAWING? > yes THEN KEEP DRAWING

if not
THEN DO NOT KEEP DRAWING

very easy

>>2760339
i meant like is it even viable

Fucking cancer.

>>2759953
cant even see the images, i hate hotlinks

> To what extent is that true? If you were commission an artist to say draw a blonde girl shooting orcs with an ak47, and the artist drew a girl shooting orcs with an m16, is that the "interpretation of the artist?"

Yes.

>>2758752
What in particular are you struggling with? Going from the sketch to finished lineart? Blocking in colors? Rendering?

Mostly Rendering.
Have been trying things out but don't know how to
achieve the level of rendering that I want.
This pic shows how far I get with it. Which is not very far imo. Most times I won't even get this far.

>>2758752
Dude, thats something i can be afraid of when drawing with ink. How can you fear to ruin it when you can just ctrl z or whatever like a cheater?

this board is for shitposters by shitpostsers. nobody here actually draws.

never gonna make it

>>2757857
people like you are why we can't have threads about things like this

>>2757854
Because of anonymous culture people will say whatever is on their mind. If someone who can't draw (yet) knows anything about that then they'll realize to shut those people out and focus on getting better

then again is /ic/ the best place for someone who is just starting out?

And when I say I copied colors I mean direct Eyedropper tool , should I not do that even tho Im at the very beginning ?

>>2762868
Using the eyedropper tool in the beginning is fine. When I piractice I first try to get the right color down first then compare it to the eyedropped color. Then I try again until I get it right.

>something with good, muted colors
Velazquez palette.
Two colors of dirt, ochre and sienna, and your choice of grey-blue, either ultramarine or lamp-black. It's watercolorists' first color theory exercise coming to you from ancient greece.
>shit that would do well on pixiv
You can't really cater to japs intentionally.
>a curvacious babe without having to resort to fapping x minutes later
Daily yoga until you can apply discipline to reverse the flow of kundalini from your muladhara chakra to your creative center.

>You can't really cater to japs intentionally.
Can you elaborate?

>>2762768
i wish i could draw anything well at all.

>no form everything feels flat
>your hatching actually flatted drawing
Sorry man but back to grinding wheel. Its better to build on solid rather than shaky fundamentals. Next time post in fred and dont make new for one drawing.

>>2762740
>putting for comisssion

dont embarass yourself

You don't stop ever due to anything.

Thats why I finally started pursuing art, because of how shitty life is. Suprised by the amount of people on this board that are so rosey about life or see art as a means of career via doing work for others. I don't get it.

>>2762525
Tell me more about your perspective, anon. I don't quite understand why you're pursuing art.

>>2760982
well that motivated me. A little counter productive OP

>>2760982
quality post

>>2760340
ask /oil/ or >>>/x/

You should measure until you understand proportions

Did not draw that RGS

Any takers?

Reveal your true power level /ic/

>>2757276
Because they're easily influenced teens, those shows have the largest fandoms, and red noses are a 'cute' trendy thing to make am otherwise boring design interesting/unique (or so they seem to think)

as if /ic/ is any better. at least drawing like that has a target audience, as opposed to here.

whoever draw's the cutest loli or has the coolest looking sketchbook 'doodles' gets praise, everything else is 'need loomis'.

It started with homestuck. One artist drew everyone's noses colored by their blood color/ font color, suddenly everyone started doing it, and it spread like the plague

Anyway, after that successful test I went out to that stream again and this time I came back with probably 50 pounds of clay which I've started processing. I also used a good chunk of the clay I already cleaned to make a second pot in the same way as the first, only bigger (pic related again). I'm really enjoying this stuff so I've decided I'm going to get a cheap throwing wheel and maybe some refractory bricks to make a more proper kiln. I'm not going to buy any clay though, since I already have access to an essentially unlimited supply of good clay for free, plus I actually like the process of cleaning it. Also, there's something really cool about just digging up some dirt form the ground near your house and turning it into an actual item through nothing but your own work.

I highly recommend to anyone who doesn't live in the city to go out and gather and clean and fire your own clay stuff, even just once as an experiment. If you do live in the city and you have enough money to throw around you should buy a small kiln, I personally think I'm going to either continue using just wood to fire my things or maybe switch to making my own charcoal and using that for a hotter temperature.

Here's a detail of the bottom of the second pot I've made. I haven't fired it yet and it isn't fully dried, but I don't see any cracks or anything and the clay sounds good when I tap it. If this one turns out I'm probably going to use it as a plant pot, but the small one I'm going to keep as a knick knack probably forever. Hopefully no one uses it as an ashtray.

That second pot is probably half the size of the biggest one I feel like I could make without a wheel, it was getting pretty wonky looking during shaping and I had to trim a few centimeters off of the top to make it an even height. I'm hoping I can find a pottery wheel someone is selling nearby soon, because I don't want to have to end up paying a lot of shipping from ordering online.

Have you anons done any clay work before? Ever sold any? I'd like to get into this as a hobby but if I could make some cash along the way to have it pay for itself that'd be awesome.

One of the cooler things I've seen on /ic/ lately. Your pots turned out great, nice colour. I'm going to do this now. I have clay in a big hole in my backyard and I'd like some custom plant pots. That bit about possibly selling is alluring too.

does anyone know good tutorisls for learning toonboom harmony?
