>>2620323

Hello, made this wallpaper today and i think it turned out good.
What ya think lads?
It's awesome bro!
>>2627346
The colors are epic
I gotta say, i like it. I like it a lot.
In future I would like to work in a company that makes video games, draw stuff for them and shit. What are requirements to work as an artist? Do i need to finish art school, university or just be fucking good to be accepted?
This answers your questions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzFBbNsKSgg
>>2627305
the first step is knowing what you actually want to do
>draw stuff for them and shit
that isn't a job.
learn about the industry. go on the career portion of video game websites and read job descriptions. that will literally tell you what that person does and what applicants they are looking for.
if you are actually serious at all, this is the minimum you need to do to even get started.
learn what the job is (not just "art shit")
learn what the title is
learn what the requirements are
work on fulfilling those requirements
here is an example from blizzard. read the entire description of their art department
http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/roles/art-animation.html
(PS. when they say to take part in an online art community, they are talking about a real community with real artists, not /ic/)
and here is a job opening for the concept art department. read the job description so you know what they do and what they are looking for.
http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/posting.html?id=160008A
>>2627325
I'm not suggesting you should or need to work for Blizzard. This is just an example, but the only way to achieve your goal is first to define what your goal is (what is the actual job you want? what do you want to do on a daily basis?)
Identify where you are on your road to achieving that goal
Identify the steps between where you are and where you want to be.
How many of you have photographic memory?
Is it important for getting good? How hopeless is it for someone with terrible memory?
>>>/retard/
>>2626808
yeah this
photographic memory = the spark
You either have it or you don't.
hi /ic/ folks, im gonna start a comic book soon and i was wondering what kind of fonts are good to use sooo if you guys can give some advice i really appreciate... friendly reminder that this is /ic/ be polite dear anon
>>2627133
Fonts imitating handwriting look like shit. Don't use fonts
i recommend impact.
clean.
readable.

stylized.
>>2627133
Comic Sans is the best for comics.
A friend of mine who uses photoshop CS5 has been experiencing a terrible brush lag and has been unable to draw for days. We tried some of the solutions offered on the web, but they didn't work.
He has no internet at home for the moment, so he can't even download another program or go back to CS4. He needs to finish some important commissions and he's getting quite desperate - can you help him, /ic/?
Basically, the lag is not big but enough to make drawing difficult. It doesn't follow his pace and sometimes the brush draws a straight and fat line directly at the end of the line he drew.
Could it be the drivers? He tried updating them when he still had internet, but couldn't update them all in time. Could it be caused by Windows 10 or something else entirely? Thanks in advance.
>>2627051
unplug and plug again the tablet
In the settings increase the memory available to photoshop. Made a lot of things run faster for me.
Drivers can help. Update them -
>Windows 10
Upgrading to 10 may fuck up some of your tablet settings. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d3ynnOX3pw
Post good shit, I want to learn some new artists who excel at drawing animals. I'll start off with Claire Wendling
>>2626960
I've been drawing for around 9 years now :)
Just found out about this board today!
What do you think of my art?
>>2625733
huh? :\
a picture of a fish talking to a phone? :s
Looks like the work of someone who's studied for 15+ years tbqh
Do you think you will ever make it?
I can't finish anything so that's a bit of a problem
>>2621318
Everyone who tried hard enough have made it, so why wouldn't I?
>>2621318
will anybody ever pay you? god knows
Post your nsfw, critique work and so on.
Furry is not allowed. LOLI IS NOT ALLOWED. Unnecessarily reporting these anons are strongly discouraged. This thread is dedicated to helping anons improve their erotic drawings and paintings.
Do not start flame wars.
Do not reply to shitposting.
Stay on topic.
>>2620636
get some fucking taste, dickbrain.
Should I keep my sfw and nsfw art seperate online? Been wondering this for a while now, not sure how i feel about them in the same viewing space in the long run.
>>2620643
are you even good? if you aren't an artist worth mentioning you really don't have to worry about trivial matters like this.
Alright /ic/, show off your skill and evaluate yourself.
This thread could have been posted on /sci/ or /lit/ but it is filled with pseudo-intellectual faggots.
/ic/ is a board with at least (some) people wanting to be virtuous.
Of course being in ic, show at least one skill related to visual art. (Everything that can be rated tho.)
The scale is from 0 to 11
11 being an absolute Übermensch in that skill, one of the bests in the world (why the fuck are you browsing an asian imageboard?)
10 being so good you probably know almost everything in that skill, you can be an inspiration to some people.
9 being a master in the skill, you are worth a ton in this area of expertise
8 being amazing in that skill, some people wish they could "git as gud" as you are. People will look for you if they need the skill you have and you are a rare gem in your area.
7 you are very good in that skill and you stand out from others with that area of expertise
6 You are pretty good in this area, people would be happy to have you in their team or they would be happy if you could use your area of expertise to help them.
5 you are good in that skill. You know your way around and can be useful/interesting in this area
4 you are average, you still need to learn if you want to be useful/interesting in this area. People would prefer to choose a better person in your area but you can still "get the job done"
3 you know some good stuff in that field that is useful mostly for yourself. You know enough to talk about that area with other "experts" (not including technical stuff)
2 being a beginner, you are able to do some decent stuff with that skill, you find it a nice knowledge to have.
1 you are a beginner in that field, you aren't good enough to do something actually useful/good
0 you just started
Here's an exemple :
Age (optional) : 22
Digital art : 4/11
3d modeling : 2/11
Computer science : 5/11
You can also include languages and a little joke or two, like your sex life.

>Of course being in ic, show at least one skill related to visual art. (Everything that can be rated tho.)
*everything can be rated
Alright here's a start :
Drawing in general : 1.5
Musical instrument (piano) : 3
Programming : 3
I'm probably making this thread to sub-consciously depress myself
hi OP, i'd like to hear your piano someday
now time for me to depress myself too
drawing in general: 4/11
music composition: 2/11
日本語: 3/11
faggotry: 11/11
...nice
Actually good artists will undervalue themselves here.
Ssup /ic/
My first time here.
I mostly draw animu.
This is my third attempt at something realistic.
It's a WIP and I showed this to my sister.
She said I cant recognise who you're drawing and I lost all hope.
Today my friend came and said I should continue.
Is it worth continuing /ic/?

Symbol drawing isn't a huge issue here, shading needs work though
>>2622399
As I said WIP
Will work on it
Well,I watched this video when it came out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3Al7QAS89s
I been doing 8 hours a day whilst working full time and I've been doing 16 hours a day on my days off and weekends.
I don't think I can keep this up anymore. It looks like to get good you need to give up all your social life. Going out. Doing anything but art.
Maybe if I was younger and a student I could probably make it.
>>2621740
>16 hours a day on my days off and weekends.
I call bullshit. Post work etc.
IS THERE ANY OTHER PHOTO OF THIS LOSER OR DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THIS ONE?! swear to god it's not /ic/ unless this photo is the start of at least three threads in the archive
>>2621740
also inb4 OP literally just drew 8 hours for the first time yesterday and is sad he isn't a pro yet.
Wierd shit you stumbled across while looking for inspiration / references thread
I'll start. Found a fetish blog about hazmat suits. Fucking odd.
duuuuude, share?
>>2612964
Its hazmatsuitguys.tumblr.com
Its just pictures of guys in this one specific kind of hazmat suit, with lecherous comments attached. The photos arent erotic at all.
Good source for reference photos, i guess
saved this to reference later, i got a really cool idea but don't have the painting skills yet to pull it off
where can I go for requests for artwork
thanks
here
>>2626599
4 real?
Can someone do a brief sketch of pic attached in thread
>>2626614
Just leave your email here.
Also what is your budget?
