This sounds fun and cool, unfortunately this board is really only for drawing and painting (and to a lesser degree animation and sculpture), not other types of art forms.

>>2664655
maybe try /mu/ OP
They have prod threads over there, as in the production of music, but besides that you have a better chance of starting a more sustainable thread over there

Is it worth going to art school

>>2655631
I have one myself and the only way to go is abusing stencil use.

Literally is the real life version of lasso tool + paint bucket, with the advantage of making nice gradients.

Sketch something, make stencil layers for every color you want to add, paint the larger shapes for each color and add details at last.

I live in third world shithole and my english isn't good enough. Sorry.

gonna repost my question hope yall dont mind

does anyone know who painted this?

I haven't, but I have read the parts of his notebooks that are relevant to painting. I'm not sure what is in the compiled treatise, but judging from the description of the observation on the expressions, it's similar. There was a lot of information in the notebook that you would never find anywhere else, such as how one ought not to compose an image with the same number of men and women unless the composition calls for it, and the same for youths and the elderly. So I'd surely recommend it, as well as some other treatises like Alberti's De Pictura. You can skip the part about perspective in De Pictura, particularly since it's needlessly difficult to understand with only words and you can find clearer information on it elsewhere easily enough.

Renaissance and ancient treatises are somewhat strange for us since they are written so long ago that we may not understand the fuller meaning of a seemingly meaningless passage, but the more you study them and their intellectual sources they become profounder.

No white or black or earth tones?

>>2658073
Yes, I use mixing white and ivory black but no earth tones.

Would you add some?

>>2658073
>>2658078
Personally I rarely use black

Palette varies by painting. Lots of burnt umber most of the time, sometimes Rae umber as well, burnt sienna, cadmium and lemon yellows, cobalt and pthalo blues, alizarin crimson, titanium white, occasionally zinc white, or whatever is laying around

>>2634659
You can use a gradient map on greyscale to have the same result in 5 seconds

Edgy garbage that tries way too hard to be scary.

>>2664514
Thanks for the criticism I'll try to be less edgy next time.

Wrong. not everyone will make it. Only the hard core will powered artists make it. Sorry Batman.

Sheer hatred of some artists, looking up to other artists, some source of income when I go to college

So I've begun to do clay animation recently.
This is my top piece so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT73sKjpgzM - my fourth video. There's a certain progress if you compare it to the first one but well... yeah.

I just want to get to the point where I would be able to tell stories through my videos.

If you do large format calligraphy, it might help with your inking, otherwise, not in the slightest.

What would help your inking more is actual inking, so unless you're actually interested in calligraphy and plan on applying that in your art, it serves no purpose.

I had 4 years of mandatory calligraphy using everything from quills and bamboo to pens, didn't do shit for my art.

>>2661950
>>2661913
might help with your line weight and line speed, but probably not as much as if you just draw with those things in mind

>>2661913
Yes! You can do calligraphy as a warm-up before your drawing session. Watch the vid by Scott Robertson, there's no reason for me to explain it any further.

Brace for basically every single new artist burning out within a month.

Most new artists can't even handle a daily drawing challenge if it takes an hour a day. Implementing a strict, jarring practice regime when you're new is just asking to fail, for exactly the same reason that every other strict, jarring practice regime instituted out of nowhere fails. Ease into it my nigga, ratchet it up gradually, you'll thank yourself when you don't quit within a few weeks.

I appreciate the post but i have some people i promised to get back to in a year yesterday, 365 days of progress that could mean at the end I may even be able to do the main lineart for their comic. I owe these people alot so if i gotta be a hardass on myself let it be. Mind if i call you Fletcher? I need someone to shame me into not burning out as you mentioned.

>>2661552

Join LAS, that's at least a level of accountability that will help you get a daily habit.

You're still fucked if you think you can do anything close to 16 hours a day. Even 8 hours a day for a new artist is unrealistic.

In my opinion, anon, when you're starting out forming the habit is much more important than trying to grind out as many hours as possible in the shortest time period. The habit will keep you going, and making yourself miserable with intense routines before you have any positive habits is going to kill the habit forming process because it's going to be unpleasant.

fuck you you prick, how long did you search for a video like this, in hopes to get a good kekle out of your ic fellas? are we now seriously devoting whole threads to shit on a beginner? do you feel good about yourself?
I remember a time when ic was seriously trying to help each other.
this board is getting more and more overrun by trolls and hobgoblins
