OP here. I'm gonna try to upload a better pic. that one is kinda small

>>2664806
Heres a better pic, it looks really good, until you start to stare at it, then you start to see that some of the lines are a bit wonky

>>2664624
I only know the figure drawing books there:
Bridgman - I have some of his other books and he is fantastic imo
Hogarth - Dynamic Figure Drawing is better than Dynamic Anatomy, but I guess it's too late now
Peck - one of the best anatomy books

>>2664630
Peck is just anatomy reference right?

And yeah I wish I had known about Figure Drawing though Dynamic Anatomy seems kinda decent so far.

>>2664631
You can use Peck that way but you'll learn more by copying out the plates. He's good for showing you the actual accurate musculature and skeleton, and the information is very precise. Things like the tables of insertions and origins of muscles are most often gonna be reference tables, yeah, but I think it is worth copying out the plates too.

He's best when combined with other books though. Like Bridgman is great for showing an artistic way of treating and thinking of the forms of the body, he breaks things down into blocky masses that interlock. Using that, and supplementing it with more scientific knowledge from Peck will give a deeper understanding of what Bridgman is doing and how you might approach it yourself.

you know this one is fake... right ... ?

do proper research, you'll end up seeing all of the artist's old stuff along with his bio.

>>2660301
Woah, man. I'm only here for the book threads and shitposting.

>Whats the validity of /ic/?
None, the moment someone gets even a bit good they leave. though the general git good and study fundamentals is 100% valid advice.

>no one here has the guts to even post their own art when giving a critique
This meme again.

>>2660301
post in the draw thread and ignore the rest of /ic/

decide for yourself if any critiques make sense or not. If you agree, say thanks and post a revision maybe. If you don't agree, don't bother saying anything.

there is a chain called Muji. They sell minimalist stuff coming from japan. They should have these.

Hi, I used to work for MUJI. Closest we do is in this picture- they're stackable A4 size and you can buy a few different types to customise your set up (thin, 3-drawer, big drawer, etc).

IMO too expensive, good design (Won Japanese good design award), can discolour a little over time, they're quite sturdy and yet dropping them can be a death sentence.

As for your OP picture, not sure. Ikea might be worth a bet, Tiger if you have them in your country or Paperchase, or Staples. (I'm talking UK so sorry if they don't apply)

I have a 5 layer clear one from muji, it's perfect and aesthetic
I think it was worth the price for me since I'm going to be looking at and using it on a daily basis

>what is reverse image search
literally never going to make it: the person

>>2665582
I know how to reverse search. But if a reference thread requires you reverse searching the images to get a useable version of them then it's a shit thread.

>>2665472
There was an old classic by a guy named Smellybug (Pete Konig) that was made for conceptart.org years ago but is no longer hosted there so here it is hosted on some random blog: http://floobynooby.blogspot.ca/2010/08/3d-maquette-tutorial.html

>>2665476
That seems to cover everything! and its in text so I dont have to be bored on 1.5x speed for 2 hours! I love this. Thanks!

>I've done some years of art academy
Does this imply you have a BFA? If so you could apply to the Vienna academy - they got a line of study that favors realistic art. Many other academies favor no-skill art with strong concept. It will be very hard for a realistic painter to get accepted at any academy. They don't favour that kind of art at all.

Grants favors those who have a BFA and MFA even more.

Not every censored competition is the same. You have to know from their previous exhibitions what kind of art they want.

Portrait competitions like the Nordic Portrait Competition favors realistic art a lot more than other competitions. See portraet.nu for their exhibition catalogs.

I couldn't say I'm that realistic I do always different stuff also I have a tendency for expressionism sometimes. It's still strange most of competition I've checked award superrealist shit what I really hate.

No

Leave it in "unfinished folder", come back to it in a year or something, fix it, remake it or delete it then.

You should be excited about the piece youre currently working on.

>>2665031
I spent several days to do something quite simple but i fucked up and it's impossible to fix.
I'm redrawing it again and so far i'm going a much btter start; i haven't spent a week to do he pencil work because of lazyness, I did it in a couple hours

>>2664983
It depends.

It's completely normal to not be happy with your studies; you just have to push it through.
Personal pieces that are done for fun, should be fun; when they're not, then there's nothing wrong with abandoning them.
Finally pro work that is made to get more fans or as commissions - I work on them until I'm happy with them or they're done. Otherwise I wouldn't make as much artwork as necessary.

I like being alone.

You aren't alone, /ic/ is with you. Every step of the way.

>>2664748
ive got the first one, digital painting, its not that great, its alot about doing quick tricks instead of How to paint,.....gurney is still the best ive seen by far.

>>2664752
>Gurney

Which books?

>>2662417
its more like an intous than a cintiq which is a let down

>>2662434
No problem with that, anon. A lot of digital illustrators draw with intuos.

And OP. I'm not an expert, but I think it's better than an ipad at least. But only 64gb? I'll probably fill that up after a while.

>>2662434
It's like a portable intuos with a screen and the ability to draw on paper while simultaneously transferring to digital

This sounds legit awesome, I've used all kind of cintiq companion alternatives (DV8P with digitizer, cube i7 stylus, Asus note 8) and they were all shit because of the glass screen
