degenerate

one of my favorite artists, formally at least

I died young so as far as I know he didn't get past angsty gouache work. His nudes are often a favourite for art fans and they quite subversive, genuinely have an erotic and perverse streak. But he didn't live to get past it.

He makes more sense as an artist when put alongside Oscar Kokoschka (who was a better artist) as it explains the style. A cutting edge art for the newly rich and broad minded in Austria before the collapse.

You go talk to people. You can't pay someone to give a shit about you. You have to build rapport with them first and make them care about you on a human level and have a connection with them before they become your mentor.

You have to talk to people and show them who you are.

Okay, true, but where do I find these people to talk to, I was wondering what/where are the art websites or places that have these people.

>>2622046
meetup.com is pretty good for that

I've only been inside there once and the hipster atmosphere was outright suffocating

This is what their stairwell looks like, all the way down.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Vilppu?

It's deceptively simple, actually. Just sit down and do 30 thumbnails in very limited values of any random idea that pops into your mind. You're guaranteed to hit on something that intrigues you; do a bunch more of that subject from different perspectives, different light, etc.

Planning is the difference between an amateur and a pro. Well, that and not sucking.

Jaime Jones has a process video for that pick you attached somewhere...I saw it awhile ago, can't remember where. He just started throwing random shapes onto the canvas and working them into the image.

That subject sucks. Most subjects are shit, and you're here trying to figure out how people come up with shit subjects as if it's an accomplishment.

today was exclusively legs. Only about an hour of sketching.

I didn't take too many reference photos, but I guess I can always take more if need be.

the last two I drew today. I tried to take some reference photos of myself from different angles so everything wasn't just straight on.

You're making your rectus femoris too small. Started legs myself somewhat recently, pic related- Studying Bridgman. Pinterest usually has pretty large references for anatomy, search like "quadriceps" or something.

The nipples seem a bit high

>>2619459
Yeah, it is. Kinda all over the place really. It's like they've all got fucked up implants.

>>2619457
Most of these don't work the way normal tits do.

Maybe find some to look at? If you can't find a real grill, work off some porn videos.

I'm a concept artist in mobile games and it was mostly because I knew the right person and I had an art style that fit in. Going to THU helped me to find my actual work and having an artstation account gave me my first concept art job.

Yes.

I am a soon to be art director (May/June next year if all goes well)

I started at an inhouse job 4 months ago.
Originally as an apprentice...

(Because I was that despereate since most other studios just turned me down, not because of my skills but my lack of experience in the field... Thats germany for you in a nutshell. The no-degree thing doesnt work here usually)

Although I already got offered to quit the apprenticeship by now and to be prepared to work as art director by next year.

I guess it really comes down to just being able to set your foot in the door and to find the right connections.
However, I always knew that once I was able to show my skills live and that I could handle client work right of the bat, I would be taken serious after all.

Entirely self taught in case you are wondering.
2 years of 8 to 10 hour days in mainly Graphic Design/3D/Infographics and Layout. for now I still do illustrations just as a hobby but I might consider accepting work like this soon too.

For SAI all you need are the default brushes, they give you enough customisation sliders for whatever you need.

Speaking of brushes, anyone happen to have "Frenden's" brushes for clip studio? I believe it is known ad manga studio elsewhere

>>2620080
You're part of the problem with so many artists in this day and age. The _brushes_ aren't fucking important. Only amateurs who have no idea what they are doing think _brushes_ actually matter. They don't. The standard _round_ _brush_ is all you need. Asking about _brushes_ implies that having them is going to get you anywhere. It's not.

Fucking kill your self already.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].

What do we draw?

>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.

What's a low effort warning?

>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.

>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.

What happens if I'm eliminated?

>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.

Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?

>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

because we are actually a meme board in disguise

>>2621445
It's because Japs talk shit about other people in private, not out in the open for all to see like Americans do.

It's a collectivist society.

>>2621445
Most of the time when you give feedback or edits to an American they will discard it, make excuses, get angry, cry, etc. Special snowflake syndrome. Just look at Illustrat. Would you bother giving him edits?

>>2620540
you should probably see the Doctors Anon, it's not normal

good luck

I think the trembling has spread to your brain, op, cause I swear you made this same thread a couple of days ago.

>>2620626
It must have, because I don't remember any replies/recommendations.

i'll start.
moving in with bf and i asked him what he wants to hang on the walls. he requested a pic of the northern lights and a fjord (he's really into traveling norway and iceland...).
now i desperately need some really awesome paintings with that subject. i've tried to find something but it all looks so cheap and clichée. does anyone know about artists that have something like that that i can actually look at every day without going insane?
pic is the only one of northern lights i found that i like. he isn't thrilled since it's not purple and green. help me!

accidentially took the wrong pic

Is there a good set of basic painterly brushes? All the ones in the sticky are 404'ing.
