I like the perspective in this piece and how the throne she sits on is made out of little patches of rectangle-ish paint.

I like the over all softness of the painting, and of course semi realistic is always welcome.

Look at the nose, what a gentle nub of a nose. Delightful.

... I like the way she uses the orange color and the slight squashed look of the face as its rests on the hand. I like cats too so that doesn't hurt. All in all a relaxing painting. Nice to look at.

>I can't do boxes and shapes
Learn how to.

>>2741865
It's not that I can't do them, I just don't use the method or know how and why it works.

How could boxes help in the construction? How could they have improved pic rel?

>>2741857
Well if all you want to do is referenced work that's fine.

>>2741247
As far as copying things go a pose is probably the least immoral. If you are worried then just use the poses you like as inspiration and change it slightly. This way too you probably will get a pose that matches what you want more exactly too.

>>2741247
when it comes to art, the ends justify the means. do whatever you want. trace/copy/steal. DOing these things makes you a shitty artist but it doesnt mean you'll have shitty art if you do it right.

>plagiarize a pose
There's no such thing. People can't "own a pose".

when you joined it

>>2741524
It's always been mostly a joke of a board. It's mostly beginners and trolls. Just stay for the good references and the small handful of people who are serious.

loomis is a meme to a certain point, because he teaches a shortcut way of drawing a head or whatever that, after a certain point you don't honestly need, you just have to wing it and draw after a certain point without relying on a regimented guideline of doing it.
do you think the artist that drew that picture went by the LOOMIS method of head construction? or do they have their own internalized method of doing it combined with just intuition from practice. grinding skulls and hands wont make you a better artist. shouting LOOMIS is not good advice.
reading loomis' books nd doing the practice is good sure but that's it.

Keep in mind what pure white and pure black looks like regardless of relative values on a canvas, and go from there.

So literally mindless grinding? I thought drawing isnt about that

It's a meme, Op is asking if there are any artists like Brenden Fraser, the most cucked man on Earth.
The closest I can come up with is Christian Chandler, but I don't know if he draws comics anymore

get out of here with your meme personality shit. Learning art is basically the same for everyone, and has been covered here in numerous threads before.

Please, please, let this be the next meme. Neuroplasticity was shitty and the ligameme was too forced.

wtfs this intra personal thing?

That image on the left hurts physically to watch.

It reminds me of one of those days when I'm not inspired at all and I only draw total shit because I can't focus. So fucking sad to look at. I hope to never fall to that level.

>>2737238
With that being said by you, I personally think Bacon was a good mark maker, especially with the fact that he would take a lot of risks and do swift singular brush strokes.
I see how you feel but if you take a look through his work there are some things you might appreciate.

>>2737238
The one on the left isn't necessarily bad though. It's actually quite good, just unfinished.

>>2741375
>so why is it so forgotten?
I presume it just has to do with the hierarchy of value that the art world places on things. Oil painting is at the top, and then maybe sculpture is next, and after that you get things like water color and drawings at the bottom. Prints are even lower than that because there are many copies of them so they inherently have less value than a single unique drawing. It doesn't really make sense since why would an oil painting have more value than a water color or drawing? They should be artistically equal in value, but people don't see it that way.

>where did they all go? Aside from specialist sites it's nearly impossible to find them easily, while being the older societies most common form of visual leisure.
Many probably got destroyed or lost. They didn't have great value even back when they were made, so it would be like a poster on a wall in your house, probably it gets thrown out at some point or the paper gets wet or it gets lost in a move. It's not like an oil painting worth thousands that is handed down the generations and carefully preserved. I know for the Japanese prints their value at points was so low that people used them as wrapping paper on things, which is how they accidentally got introduced into Europe.

>I'm a big fan of collecting them
Post up some images from your collection! How do you display them? Do you get them framed?

Yes I understand that, inflation/overproduction of an object just like pokemon cards can ruin anythings value in the short term, of course looking back on it now there's a wealth of value I see in them. Every artist has a distinct style from their region, the Americas are vastly different from the Europeans as things became more modernized.

I didn't realize that about the japanese prints which is funny since I'm going to Japan next year with my mom and will probably buy a few there of the ukiyo-e.

Thanks for all the information, I agree prints or drawings/water colors should have some more value of importance but if you go to any museum they're practically missing, aside from some like Francisco Goyas propaganda run for spain and the more unique caprichos set which really are magnificent to see an artist harness the elements of every medium.

Here's another one I have from Napoleons Egyptian Expedition, it's the first time a french force ever set foot on egyptian soil and napoleon wanted to make it more like alexanders "enlightenment" tour of the ancient world where he brought scientists as well as artists, mathematicians, etc. Has a lot of unique renderings of French interacting with middle east culture. The full set intact perfectly costs around a million dollars but individually they're reasonable.
