Hey /ic/ do you ever draw fight scenes? If you do, where do you get your ideas for poses, or references for them? I'd like to try drawing them in my free time when I'm not studying something.
Thank you, hope you're having a good day!
You must have war in your soul and hear the trumpet of Bellona.

I don't draw a lot of fight scenes, but it has happened on a few occasions, it's pretty fun and challenging. I collect refs pics when they pop up and martial arts films are pretty good for them too. Also, some mango-artists are a good inspiration.

I hate fight scenes because they're too flashy and unrealistic most of the time.
Real fights are sloppy and quick most of the time.
You should be able to do this.

I used to work at an antique furniture shop and my favorite part of the process was staining. I considered it an art. Getting fresh untouched furniture and putting a whole new coat was the best. But what is your favorite type of stain?
>>2603059
I like pickled oak, natural, and ebony, depending on the colors going with it. Idk if that helped or not..
Does the pickled oak stain lighten the wood? If so I shoulda used that shit. I built a music instrument out of spalted beech and it was super sexy and white but the linseed oil I finished it with darkened and yellowed it a bit.
This is a fun drawing i did the other day. What do yall think?
>>2600783
Absolutely amazing, epic cool!
You have talent!
Probably the greatest artwork I have ever seen
>>2600783
I'm stunned. Incredible art.
Why are they so perfect?
>>2602497
'Perfect' is merely an illusion. There are only different levels of skill.
"Show me an unsuccessful man and I will show you someone who thinks he's perfect."
Show me my mistake

You made your own thread for your shit drawing.
Sweet

Lucian Freud is amazing at drawing portraits
Shinkawa is a God

Not OP but can we just omit anime and other general autism from this thread?
Steve Huston's figure drawings are really nice.
Alphonse Mucha is senpai
Do you ever drink and draw? How does it affect your abilities?
Once after downing half a bottle of whiskey I did a shitty Moonman drawing. Not a good experience I would not recommend
I'd say two or three beers and I can draw just fine, maybe even a little looser which is nice. Anything past that and it's a pretty big drop in quality.

Don't think. always be focused on your subject
What are some of your favorite creepy artists /ic/?
I like Nicola Samori work.
Itoman
<= Beksinski, I also enjoy Giger and Junji Ito's illustrations
This is relevant to my interests
I'm looking for some bizarre/creepy/grotesque work to put on my walls.
Is trying to reproduce the drawings in Hogarth's book the good way to progress?
I recently started "reading" it and I'm just reproducing his figures while trying to understand what going on
Or should I go back to drawing photos of figures to practice
You literally do need more Loomis, memery aside fäm
>>2599988
I don't really like Loomis, I think Hogarth's book is much more "organized"
When I see the book of Loomis I don't really know what to do with those informations. Loomis seems more condensed and maybe expect more of the reader?
>>2599991
Definitely true, though at least you could do with Proko's explanation of how to do the head as he chews Loomis up for those who find him too dull and boring (like me e.g.)
they have always enchanted me,
I've always thought there's something magical in them,
whoever made them must have been one hell of a man
anyways do you have more?
just one bump with more I found
who is he?
really noice shitoposter sempai

jesus trying to catch a caterpie - 2016
While this may initially read as a pointless picture, I would like to dissuade you from such a dismissive stance.
'jesus trying to catch a caterpie' by David©aplan is a critical examinations into the subjects of religion, modernity, technology, and the continuation of art.
In such, a certain spirituality is addressed, being the three-fold comparison of religion, or aesthetic representation of such, the pursuit of consumerism and the escape into digital space.
Each represents a certain form of escapism and artifice.
The painting, store, and digital-fictional caterpillar show how the popular interests of general Western society rely on man-made environments and objects.
The sole representation of the natural world is a facsimile, reminding us that our outlook on ecological matters rely on trend.
The capture via phone being intentionally made present shows us the new viewing device of our age, as our eyes are made obsolete by the glowing digital screens.
The fact that Christ is made translucent reflects on the Hegelian idea of Aesthetics, Spirit and Religion, in such that we are shown that Pokemon Go represents a buildingblock for the XXVIth century's Zeitgeist, and that via the convalescence of such factors truths into our current modes of being are made clear.
Overall, a striking social commentary that lends a deeper metaphysical meaning to the affairs of human and heaven.

I dig it, is this digital though?
If so, break out the oils and work that bitch out.

Did I miss something? Why is Doxy now attacking an artist?
Figured this is the most appropriate board to ask this:
I'm not an artist, just tangentially interested in art and design, and one thing that has been bothering me lately is how this art style has become so prevalent. "C-shaped" mouths, puffy cheeks, small and widely spaced apart eyes, red "tumblr" noses, spaghetti limbs and bodies lacking any sort of definition whatsoever.
Even otherwise competent artists who aren't just chasing after the bottom-of-the-barrel Steven Universe/Adventure Time aesthetic have as of late begun incorporating several aspects of this style into their works, most notably the faces, and I'm wondering, why? Do people find it cute and aesthetically pleasing? Is it the west's equivalent to the moe anime art style?
What does /ic/ think about this trend?
>>2597578
It's the result of the decades of jews undermining artistic progress so that people become disenfranchised from their peoples' culture and the cohesion within nation states slowly dissolves until the citizens finally beg to be conquered by old families of internationalist elites.

Why all the hate?
Because he makes money.
Also his humor is very inconsistent.
>>2592567
I don't like the look of his face
I don't hate him.
