I hang in co a bit but looking for an actual art community besides here. Deviant just looked like digital art, haven't tried tumblr yet.

Cmon nerds.

do you know how to draw with paper and pencil at all?

It would look good as a tattoo

Stop being a pussy, yes you can. Do studies, watch tutorials and read books, work your underpandered-to ass off, and you'll get good. Don't give up if you've gotten that far; imagine all the fucking ink you'd have wasted

Boris Vallejo, especially when you put his stuff next to Frazetta.

Pretty much most digital/fantasy/sci-fi art that gets posted here all the time

Everything's shiny, everything's focused, too much focus on lines and enforcing a story

>What are some examples of drawings/paintings you would say is done competently on a technical level, and yet, there is something offputting about it(composition, choice of colors, framing etc) making it just not a very good painting overral

technique - a way of carrying out a particular task, especially the execution or performance of an artistic work or a scientific procedure.

way - a method, style, or manner of doing something.

method - a particular form of procedure for accomplishing or approaching something, especially a systematic or established one.

procedure - a series of actions conducted in a certain order or manner.

off putting - unpleasant, disconcerting, or repellent.

beauty - a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.

art - the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

competent - having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do something successfully.

success - the accomplishment of an aim or purpose

Given these definition of the terms, if the method chosen to produce a work of art leads to a work of art that is perceived as unpleasant, then the method has failed and cannot be called "competent".

Yes

Once people reach a level of skill they don't participate anymore

And more stuff like that. She wrote it in some book about mlp or interview which name I don't remember.

Maths? Really? I gave up on maths after learning fucking calculus.

(Almost) Everything you need to know is:

>Parallel lines ain't parallel.
They converge into a vanishing point.

> Horizon line is always on the eye-level.

> All vanishing points go to the horizon line (unless they don't).

Read Perspective made Easy + Perspective for Comic Book artists. But actually read the books!

>>2600206
Thanks, anon. I have actually ordered Perspective for Comic Book Artists already, will get the other one, too.

>>2600193
Pictures like those can seem intimidating, but perspective is easy to understand once you get the jargon out of the way.

All that image is really showing is that there's a bunch of cuboids (basically 3D rectangles) that are all the same, but LOOK different because of their placement in the image. If you extend the parallel lines of these shapes (which is what the image is doing with those extended lines), they'll eventually (appear to) meet. Where they appear to meet is the vanishing point.

To wrap your head around this, a good exercise is to try drawing various cubes at different angles and extending their lines. I know it's a difficult concept to understand but it's really important and honestly quite intuitive once you "get" it.

Your kind's not welcome round here, boia

Ah, please do point me in the right direction then, pleb.

What do you want the "template" for?
Your tattoo artist should be able to do what you want if you give them that pic.

Compared to what?

Also you already have the beginner and drawthread

Eceleb threads are fucking cancer
That being said, he's simply a mediocre artist. He seems to have a good grasp of the fundamentals and when he sticks to realism hes fine but his style is just terrible

>>2603303
He knows his shit but his taste and style is shit.

He somehow made himself regress when he decided to learn his new style. Everything he draws is way too stiff and not very appealing to look at.

>>2603305
>He seems to have a good grasp of the fundamentals

This is actually why I don't like his artwork, because he does not have a good grasp of the fundamentals. His lines are "shaky", there's not enough confidence in his strokes, and even in recent drawings he will still make chicken-scratch marks for "hard" curves. It's sad. Obviously, some of his drawings are good, but most of his work is either bad or mediocre.

All in all, not worth paying attention to. Most of his popularity comes from his self-promotion and tutorials, which he really isn't good enough to be giving.

Also, please stop making these threads.

>Why is every beginner thread start with a stupid human face or body
Because its more fun than a still life.
However I agree that Still life teaches some important stuff. seeing shapes and shadows, linecontroll and how to measure to name some

This is pretty true ime, senpai. I fell for the Loomis meme and got real deep into Drawing the Heads and Hands well before I was ready, ended up giving up on it because I just couldn't make it work, and just started drawing simple objects around my house like chairs and fruit and shit, and came back to Loomis a few months later and was blown away with how much better I understood it. Loomis is good but shitposting him like people do on this board doesn't serve people very well.
