Okay so I recently bought an old van that I plan on doing some custom work to. One thing in particular that I want to do is a mural. For the mural I'm thinking of maybe some simplistic lines on the lower half, and an actual mural on the upper half (pic related).

I was wondering what mural/line ideas you guys have, because I need some inspiration. One thing I know I definitely want to do, is to try to stick with only 4 colors.

Hey /ic/

Now more than ever the world needs your help. With the recent turn of events, we need artists, people able to convey messages through their medium to help bring back peace and reason.

I know you guys are like you and me, with your own set of ideas, but now that things are getting really shitty, it'd be really great to have some people working to bring back the calm.

So anything goes now, wether it be writing down insightfull words on walls, drawing pieces to evoke peace, or whatever the fuck you can do.

As artists, it is also your duty. Your voice can be way louder than a normie's. So please, use it well.

Drawing completely mentally drains me for the day. I can hardly bring myself to practice because I need to take a nap after and basically throw out the rest of my day.
It's because I get sad when I can't do something. And I know that's why you practice, but I can't help but get really bummed out and stop because I'm so upset. It's not just for drawing, but for instruments too and sometimes math if I can't get it right for hw and such. It makes me hate drawing even though I've loved it since I was a toddler. Does anyone else share this feelings of depression because you're not really good at something

I've seen a lot of different topics posted on this board. But I have yet to see one about my particular problem.

What I'd like to know to the painters and users of photoshop on this board, is how you trained your accuracy of color? What steps did you take to become more accurate?

I understand that practicing over and over helps. But it seems like the colors that I try to predict are accurate to the reference I pick are most often the wrong hue or value, and the picture I make ends up being wholly different from the reference in terms of mood and vibrancy. So I often find myself using the color picker on my references and just do it that way.

I'd like to work on my accuracy of color without having to use the color picker. So I'd like to know how you guys might have resolved this issue or tips and tricks to have better color accuracy when you paint.

So, I've been doing the basics for around a year, mainly figure drawing and a few still lifes for a class that I quit soon after. Then I thought I'd try drawing from imagination, I still can't draw the figures I think of. Does that mean I haven't practiced drawing from observation enough? At what point am I supposed to deviate and practice imagination drawing?

With the western release of Monster Hunter X/Monster Hunter Generations I thought it may be time to have a thread about Monsters. I personally find drawings/paintings of such Monsters very interesting and thought that maybe some of you guys share the same feeling. To widen the theme of this thread I guess anything artistic about fantastic creatures goes in here, but feel free to stick to MH related art. Post Artists/(concept)Art/Tips

Remember the words of our good friend Glen Vilppu: “No rules, just tools.”

How important is sitting in a good posture when working?

Because I've been getting into the habit of working like in the picture and I'm wondering if it might be bad for my skills if I don't sit up and use my shoulders. I find I do more drawing if I do it lying down though, since I can do it in bed or without setting up a surface to work on.

Should I continue working a lot but in a sloppy posture or force myself to do it properly and therefore end up doing it less?

Who else have these issues?

I'm just sick of being straight up trash at drawing & being a lazy and total moron that's too stupid to understand some things (say, perspective and anatomy) doesn't help much.

Alright so you know your fundamentals. How do you go about creating work that isn't just rehashed, uninspired, generic bullshit?

Is it just a matter of picking interesting subject matter? Is it a matter of just refraining from art trends? Drawing from a different source of inspiration?

I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this.
