What do you think about this painting?
It's huge, it's from Mexico. Supposedly super expensive, done by one of the best painters in Mexico. At least that's what the rich guy told me about the painting.

So, what do you think?

I draw from 11 00 to 14 00 and then rest and then from 16 30 to 20 00 every day I can, but I'm realizing I'm bored when I rest, I come to /ic/ and see some great drawings and just want to keep drawing, playing video games is no longer interesting, what other activities can I do to prevent myself from just drawing and burning myself out of motivation?

I thought this was famous as fuck but apparently it's just an internet thing.

refuse commercial work and work at arbys, making as many personal worthless and tasteful works you want

If you were worried about bad taste you would not be browsing 4chan

>>2616558
Don't worry. No one will ever ask you to do this kind of commercial work. You will have plenty time to work on your little personal projects for the rest of your life.

I think Little Witch Academia does it well.

If you want something more "cartoony", I'd say Kaiba or Metropolis.

But then again, what do you mean by "anime" style?

I dig comics and I've considered working in the industry but I've heard that the pay is atrocious, like barely livable at all. And add on all the stress and overtime you're gonna have to put in just to draw someone else's story. Doesn't really appeal to me. I'm still thinking about either self publishing or somehow getting my own ip published by image, but that's a long ways off.

How'd you get to do a pitch? Also post work if you're comfortable.

Please please please can all of the weebs on this board head over to /co/ and all of the comic entheusiasts take their place? They can keep the cartoons and that steven universe garbage

Why the fuck are you even on a place like 4chan that was founded upon the idea of discussing anime and weeb shit? A place made by a weeb for weebs.

I seriously don't understand people like you.
It's like going Africa and complaining that there are niggers everywhere.

I really like that painting except for the hair. Ew, fix the hair. Otherwise the colours are perfect

Intense night time portrait unwell and sickly I suppose.

Just draw.

Those people who can fill their sketchbooks with variations of the same thing and on demand can do so because they think 'through' their drawing.
They have to fulfill an objective. (the most important step)
Draw their research. (what material and texture will this be in, and how can I depict it? What camera do I use, what time of day, etc.)
Brainstorm ideas on paper
And do their first attempt on fulfilling that objective. (It may not be the right answer.)
The rest of the pages are their 2nd, 3rd, nth attempt on fulfilling that same objective, whether it be to design something or tell a story.
When you do it that way you'll be surprised by how fast a sketchbook will get filled. Sure, quite a number of pages won't be pretty but at least it has purpose. And if you know your basics like shape, form, perspective, your ideas will have clarity, which is the most important thing to have.
It may seem like a no brainer, but people who don't question the really basic work process stuff turn out to be scrubs in my opinion. 'Just Drawing' won't cut it.

>>2615130
thank you for your insight. Having an objective and testing an idea are definitely beneficial to keep your mind flowing throughout a session. I believe there are many more aspects to it but it doesn't seem like it interests people so I'll leave it at that.

Vilppu ofc

>>2615098
>(((Stein)))

Go with Vilppu, he will teach you to feel things you never even considered feeling before, maybe you thought it was inappropriate to be feeling such things but he will cast away all of your doubts with his nurturing touch. To really get 100% out of his course you need to feel him and allow him to feel you in return. But it's up to you it depends how you feel about it, I don't know this Borenstein guy but I've got a feeling you would benefit more from Vilppu's services, you feel me man?

I think that this is a great idea, but I still want to call you a faggot because h4lfchan

And I guess a prompt to get things started.

>Character is a smuggler in the near future (think 40-50 years) living between two middle eastern nations. They clearly looks like they were born elsewhere but has been living there for a good portion of their life.

>>2581162
Description:
The new challenge is to design an anthropomorphic tribal warrior. You will choose an existing real world animal, combine it with a human figure, and design what this would look like if that character was part of a primitive tribe of warriors. Keep in mind the type of environment the animal comes from and try to fit that into the characters design, costume, and weapon. For example, if the animal you choose is from the jungle then it's costume and weapon may be quite different than an animal from the African savanna or snowy mountains. Use the animal and it's region to influence what the design will be.

As always, this challenge is intended to inspire you to push yourself to learn and grow as an artist, as well as to give you fuel to create something you might later polish into a finished product. Whether your creation is a loose sketche or a portfolio-ready piece is up to you. Do what is most helpful or enjoyable for you!

Rules and Guidelines:
-This a tribal character/creature challenge where your combining any animal with a human and using the animals geographic region to influence the costume and design..
-Approach it as if you were designing this for a video game or film.
-Any medium is allowed.
-You are free to do a simple concept with a focus on design and no background, or take it to a full illustration depending on how in depth you want to go.
-Due is the end of the week

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.

sounds like a bunch of anecdotal bullshit, stop trying to compartmentalize "types" of artist and go draw.

I don't think one is necessarily superior over the other. I think analytical artists can get caught up in the grind or be too fixed on a certain goal (I want to draw like *blank*) rather than exploring their own inner world. That being said, rushed or unfinished drawings, not pushing yourself to improve, that can be just as bad.

I think taste is the great equalizer in the art world. I love fine art, I love trying to improve my craft and carefully consider everything, but no matter how hard I try it's never going to be as appealing to some people as a quick sketch of a QT girl by someone else. I think that's great.

>theyve never used the caps lock key in their entire life
This says so much about you.

Just hold out and keep asking and the perfect technique will be bestowed upon you.

But the real answer is mileage, you knew that though.

>>2601535
Stop being a lazy fuck, do studies, and practice line weight.

PS: No one really cares how much you gush over some random japanese smut artist.

>loosely done yet well put together?
