Are these really necessary for drawing...? I've used guide lines for most of my life when drawing, but I question their usefulness now that im not particular baby mode beginner artist any more. And also the fact that I see some artists that don't use them at all. Mostly on places online such as drawpile and flockmod since I don't know any one in real life that draws.

Why?
>>2669136
It's on the name. They're GUIDElines.
I want to practice my drawing/painting, but I didn't start getting into art until I was around 19-20.
Seeing pictures like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/Wwhui
and knowing that it was made by a 13 year old....Makes me just not want to try. So many people who are into art started drawing as a kid. They have a decades head start of practice on me. It just makes it feel not worth it to try.
You go fuck right off, then.

That girl needs some /ic/. She would have improved even more. I like her sketch she linked in the comments.
Since the original /i/ is gone, I can only hope that this is roughly the right place. Anyways, I'm looking for a painting/drawing that I saw on 4chan about 2 years ago and can't find anymore on my old hard drive. It was a man on a (afaik) white horse, who was kind of admired by a bunch of women. He kinda looked like a warrior, I think, might just have been a kind of noble person though. Oddly enough I saw it on /fit/. Picture unrelated, but still pretty based.
>>2671029
This is kind of vague for a description as I think there have been multiple paintings like that. First one to come to mind is this though.
>>2671077
Well fuck me, that's it! That's actually it! Thanks a bunch mate, now I just need to find a way to get it on my wall. Wish you all the best!

How do you draw the gesture of stiff, rigid, symmetrical poses?
Yes, you can.
By using the intrinsic rhythms of the body.
Now fuck off to the beginner and/or question thread with this shit..

You feel it you fucking pussy.

I have a jot touch pro for iPad, pretty good man. Long battery life. 256 legels of pressure I think? Works well with pro create
Yo, visual art people. What's the painting on the 4chan homepage? I think it's by some Italian working around the turn of the century--Bertolucci makes reference to it in his film 1900, if I'm not mistaken.
>>2671611
It's by Boldini I think, though I may be mistaken
>>2671611
Definitely looks to be a work of Van Gogh. I might be wrong though.
>>2671611
Thank you for the prompt response. Best lead yet.
Is there a good video series for digital painting that I could watch or torrent?
Especially for a beginner like me?
>>2671051
go to ctrl paint. it's probably one of the best starting points for digital painting. It's photoshop based lessons.
it goes over brushes, layer types etc etc.
>>2671051
why don't you just copy what the guy who painted pic did? He literally laid out his entire process. Hell, go watch some speed paints. Soak in the knowledge. Chill. Paint.
>>2671091
I'm more interested in real time videos where the person goes step by step. Though your suggestion is good too.

>>2663034
can you take a break for at least month from making alt threads?
you're seriously ruining these threads.
>>2663040
What?
>>2663043
You've been the OP of each and every single alt threads for half a year now. And the op pic of all of it are absolutely nothing but anime.
You're driving away the non anime people and making these threads extremely anime heavy.
What are some resources for classical draughtsmanship, the kind of pencil sketches that painters did as prep-work in the Renaissance and 19th century?
I ask because most beginner books are not far removed from "How to Draw Manga"
>>2671345
It varied from artist to artist and during different time periods.
I don't know of a single source that catalogs the entire processes for lots of artists. Probably for many old masters we don't have all their preparatory works anymore, either they have been lost or destroyed. Usually they would do a lot though--thumbnail sketches, drawing studies for each figure, paint studies for each figure or face, several colour studies for the entire picture, careful planning and transferring of the composition to the canvas etc. They almost all used models extensively and some used mannequins to hold drapery in place in lieu of a model.
One thing to note though is that most pencil or charcoal sketches (outside of school studies) that you find by old masters were meant as prep for paintings and you can often match up the figures.
A lot of more recent illustrators from the past century though are better documented for this stuff but many used photos so it might be slightly different than what you are looking for.
>>2671351
I guess I should mention I'm aiming to do standalone sketches, like Ingres.
But sketches played second fiddle to paintings for basically all of the "Neoclassical" period that I want to imitate (Renaissance to c. 1900,) so most examples are incomplete prepwork, and I wouldn't get far doing studies from incomplete stuff.
What I'm calling "Neoclassical" art may have been naturalistic, but photorealistic art does not look "neoclassical." So there's a style here to be learned, a way of simplifying shapes and shades.
>>2671366
If you just want sketches then google around for some by specific artists. You'll find a lot from people like Michelangelo, Pontormo, Menzel, Sargent, Watteau, Degas etc

So what the fuck is the deal with internships? Do you have to be in a school to apply for one, and are they a "requirement" for getting a job? I know that "paid" internships exist, but I have no idea if that is the norm, or if unpaid internships are most normal.
If you're just starting out, do you have to apply for an internship? It's completely retarded.. Say you life away from the studio, and you have to move, since it's an internship, you wont get any money, right? So how the fuck are you supposed to sustain yourself? Is there even any point in applying to animation studios as a guy without any prior experience (and if you do apply, does that automatically count as an internship?). What is the difference between a Junior Role and an Internship? The stress of seeing friends who are in school which arranges internships for their students makes me want to fucking kill myself.
internships are for rich kiddies, just git gud and start working
>>2670523
Is it easy to just start working without having any "Interned at XXXX" on your CV tho (I'm not talking about applying, nor having interned at the big western studios like Pixar or Disney, but worldwide in general)?
>>2670532
git gud all that matter
yo waddup? can you guys recomend me some books on expressionism or surrealism? Really good biographies are welcomed too. I havent read one on Pollock yet, but ive read some Henri Perruchot books. Thanks.
What are the best tools to use to color drawings in your sketchbook?
Watercolor pencils.
You can use them try for the typical colored pencil look or you can hit them with a wet brush to make washes.
>>2666911
what about markers?
>>2666925
Markers are good but very expensive.
How do I draw in public without anyone noticing? I draw normal things generally but I don't like letting strangers see my shit.

Congratulations, you've made your personal decoy!
so... how is my bonnie? fix it if you want,idk
I'd like to try, but what is she doing? Is she flying, laying on the bed, striking an odd pose? I'd like some context plz
>>2671231
I'm assuming that those nearly-erased bushes above her wrists are pom-poms and she's striking a cheerleader pose, although since she's naked OP has no excuse to not display his knowledge of hands.
>>2671258
I agree. Though I thought that maybe she was gripping the sheets on a bed like the pic related. But your thought about Pom poms makes much more sense.
