Anatomy tracings from a photo are a great way to solidify your knowledge of anatomy. Tracing something to create a finished image however is just straight up gay and looks awful more often than not.

One thing is mindlessly tracing, and the other is tracing while taking mental notes of your subject.

As always, is better to break everything down into simple forms.

>>2663460
Nigger, that's not what people mean when they say tracing.

They mean these:

Most artists are kind of shut in losers. Don't worry.

Because he hasn't left his comfort zone in over a decade. He's still a good teacher of software nuances and his tutorials are solid overall because he's a very clear and articulate speaker, he just won't improve as an illustrator in general until he grows some balls.

No desire whatsoever to improve

Couldn't you be drawing instead of spamming this

Well of course he did. Sometimes you just gotta indulge.

It's a gimmicky program that lacks a shit ton of the basic features that would make it useful for drawing. It's an interesting brush engine but nothing more.

>>2670398
thats kinda what i thought about it to, i dont even think the version i was using had a fill tool, they may have updated that though cus it was a while ago.

>>2670343
kek you're not supposed to cover it pitch black for that assignment, just do a middle grey value and don't grind it into the paper, you can even even take some powdered charcoal and just gently rub it over the paper with a kleenex or use a brush

>>2670347

Thats what she told us to do was to make the page pitch black. And use paper towel to cover it as well.

>>2670348
well if it's pitch black you're gonna have trouble erasing it well unless you use an electric eraser or have a brand new kneaded one that you really work hard with, but you might destroy the paper a bit

just try some different technique on some small scraps of paper before covering an entire sheet like that and see what works or doesn't

why you won't ask there, it's blushchan, he even posted his tumblr.

>>2669161
obviously none when you're asking for something that's very specific. also sai is shit for brush customization.

dont use SAI how about that
its a garbage program

When did people on this board decide to have standards?

The day pic related happened

>>2666251
I dunno, but I assume it happened when someone asked a better artists than you are for their blog while your work was being ignored. Just a wild guess.

clip studio has really great presets and tools for illustration and comics work. technically you can emulate some of them in photoshop, but it's the sort of thing where most everything Just Works out of the box with clip studio while photoshop's brushes and presets are so horrifically horrendous that "omg what brushes u use!!" is such a blight on art spaces because you mostly can't draw or paint without getting somebody else's brushes and presets. clip studio has built in pen stabilization and a lot of other thinkgs that make drawing a lot less of a headache out of the box that photoshop doesn't. a lot of what makes clip studio great is that it has so many things tailored to actually drawing, illustrating, and creating comics whereas adobe doesn't even pretend to give a fuck at all about artists when it comes to photoshop. technically you can do really anything you can do in clip studio in photoshop, but it involves a lot more headache and generally just wastes your time for no good reason besides the fact that adobe doesn't give a shit at all about releasing a photoshop variant tailored to artists.

there's also the fact that clip studio is IMMENSELY cheaper than photoshop. i got clip studio ex on sale at something like $90 last year; the regular price is something under 300. it's an absolute steal compared to photoshop, especially considered the fact you can't even buy photoshop perpetual licenses anymore. i would hands down recommand clip studio ex over photoshop for anybody actually paying any day of the week because you get so much more bang for the buck.

obviously if you're getting towards professional level, you want to learn photoshop, but otherwise it isn't necessary. the handful of things photoshop does that you can't do in clip studio really isn't anything to care about. the only thing i feel like i'm missing in clip studio is color/hue/saturation/luminosity layer blend modes, but even then i realized they weren't really all that necessary

I'm getting some strong brian vibes from this piece

>aspiring artist
>has no regard for art history

Your too much of a pleb to even bother explaining too.

If you take an art history class, you learn all about what makes Van Gogh so special. It's hard to say easily since it involves everything else that came before such as Realism, Impressionism, etc.

But most of the art movements had to do with going against the fundamentals, oddly enough.
