except for vincent van gogh

>>2748647
Except he was drawing since he was a kid. He only started to paint when he was like 27, and although he's one of my favorite artists, it is clear that most of his works aren't really good.

>>2748647
he only got success after he died.

you don't
gitting gud at anything requires effort. it requires as much effort as physical effort you have to do in a sport. you will feel pain, you will want to give up, you will try to think of ways of cheating, think of excuses. that's why we have to embrace pain and use it as fuel to our journey.

not being humble and not feeling rewarded when you accomplish it, however, aren't useful or necessary.
if you don't feel rewarded, try a different activity. if you are not humble, it's not your drawing skill you have to improve.

If it was easy, everyone would do it.

>>2749933
Learn how to trace real good and modify the drawing enough through either color or modification to the line and you're set

>>2744620
cool commission wall.
cant wait until someone caps it.

>>2744623
Do you even know who sofles is?

>>2744623
You mean bomb it at four am with some toy tag right?

At least now you get to look down on those who do.

>>2750340
I still can't because I'm no better than them.
They're simply ignorant.

Now, I can't nut unless I see good form and perspective in action because of the way my mind now works.

>>2750340
Where's the benefit in that?

>>>/lit/

>>2750234
god this is terrible. good thing you're posting here and not on /lit/. they'll tear you a new one.

>>2749225
You need both. That's the whole point of having a theory in the first place.

I would say read about concepts enough to understand them, and compare your work with that from the book. But I find drawing from life to be much more enjoyable and rewarding.

>>2749953
I can agree here 100%. Drawing from life or even from reference photographs the best. It really rules out any possibility of making deviations, which you will do if you only draw from theory and imaginations. If you do enough work from reference, the forms and lighting will be burned into your brain and you can take the skills into imaginative drawing.

I study illustration at the UK's 'number one arts university', and since finding /ic/ it's brought home the crushing reality that art unis are not worth the cost and time. I am thinking of dropping out at the end of this year and saving up to study somewhere better suited to teaching drawing fundamentals and core skills.

Any ic recommended places, possibly in Europe?

FZD is great if you want to become a concept artist.

Fuck thats some tite rendering. Whos the asian

>>2747925
yes, in the japanese art academy, people learn realism before generic manga style

>>2747930
then why professional anime illustrations from their best artists still make begginer mistakes?

>>2747925
If that artist had stronger fundamentals he wouldn't have fucked up in the places he did.
If you want to be garbage you can just be garbage.

I think Scott Robertson teaches it in How to Draw.

>>2744182

do you by any chance have a pdf?
I've noticed it long ago floating around /ic

Erik Olson's Perspective Series
Marshall Vandruff has one as well
You can find both on cgpeers I think

Weirdly, he just comes into my room, grabs a handful and stares at me.

>>2747450
Kek. Pls ignore the shit grammar. My bad.

>>2747449
Seems weird to designate the grips like that as if they are exclusively for one purpose. Usually people say overhand and underhand grip.

instead of putting the camera in between you and your paper, put it in front of you (with tripod) and record downwards, then flip the footage upside-down

>>2750115
Thanks anon I just tried this, the only problem was that my tripod isn't very high so the angle from the top to the bottom of the page looked a bit off : /

Is there anything I can use for a flat overhead perspective?

Get a tripod with a movable center column. Or you can get creative with a gorillapod and attach it to any number of things to put it out of the way.

>>2749963
no

>>2749963
I really like this, got insta?

It's a very slim chance just any old person here will get it and besides they tend to dump applications.

what do I need to do to apply?

>>2749830
/ic/ has reached the point of no return...right?
