Can anyone dump some good references and pictures of value studies and lineart? Or just studies in general, like pic related?
I'm not really going to copy off of them, but I figured some good examples of what sketches or studies should look like will help me understand where to improve.
I tried googling all over the place but I didn't really get what I want.

Real talk, would you recommend an irl friend or other person with a passion for drawing you care about to come to this board for advice?
I'm asking because just looking over the threads for the past couple days, it seemed like all of /ic/ is very unfriendly to not just newcomers, but anyone pursuing drawing in any capacity other than "aspiring to make a career of it".
I realize this is 4chan, so there's always going to be some degree of inside baseball here (on essentially every board), and that there's a reflexive distaste in some for any new factors endangering the mood of a community they're enjoying. And that I'm personally pretty shit at gauging how much of this is just sarcasm or jokes.
But from limited exposure to the board, I'd have taken it to be a constant, withering cascade of VERY vocal individuals just calling everything shit and repeating the same three buzzwords
>doesn't draw for 12 hours a day
>not enough fundamentals
>not gonna make it
at people, without actually engaging with their art for criticism, with half a sprinkle of redliners and people giving actual advice. At best.
Or a cesspool of elitists without anything to actually show for themselves actively trying to discourage anyone who got over themselves enough to try and expose a hobby close to their heart to criticism at worst.
Personally, I don't know what to think anymore.
What's your opinion?

the banter game is pretty strong, but most things said are meant as joke I feel. Most people are actually friendly to beginners, when they don't act high and mighty.
The question is the following: Is the person willing to get through the banter to actually get better? If not I don't think this is the place for them.
I think ic is actually pretty nice overall, just know which threads not to go into.

ur retarded bro?
why would you admit to someone irl u browse 4chans
if someone asks me about memes i say yeah 9gag is funny XD

Why are so many great artist's fucked in the head some kind of way? A lot of the ones I know online either have bipolar disorder or some other mental illness but they draw like gods

that's probably just your confirmation bias anon.
t. armchair psychologist
>>
>>2588568
No they pretty much exhibit all the signs of being bipolar
>sweet as peaches and creams one minute
>vicious and aggressive the next, particular when it comes to something like criticizing their art
>cranks out a lot finished pieces almost daily, then suddenly gets depressed and takes a long long hiatus
>without warning, starts drawing again and goes back at that abnormally fast work pace
Being obsessed with a particular subject like that can be a sign of bipolar disorder, and then having no interest in anything afterwards in a depressed state for a long period of time. Many artists ive talked with personally fit these qualities
>>
>>2588564
I think I have, but I'm sure is mostly because I sleep like 4 hours a day and get kind of depressed because of not working more in my art or because I'm not good enough

he gets people excited about making art and admits he's not the best. I respect him more for what he said than what he painted.

His stuff is pretty nice. His show is aimed at amateurs but it's fun to watch and he's a super cool person

>>2586618
I greatly respect him and he taught me the most important lesson in that time + effort = talent

I want to carry my sketchbook with me more often and I would like a reccomendation for a bag that is low profile and inexpensive, and what you guys would use

Why can't you use your backpack?
>>
>>2595894
mine is too bulky, and it looks suspicious at times(I live in an area full of racist Koreans who constantly think I'm shoplifting)
>>
>>2595896
Then get a nicer Backpack? If the sketchbooks small enough pockets can be enough also.

If you want to paint like as if you're painting traditionally, see this vid from CtrlPaint
http://www.ctrlpaint.com/videos/paint-flat-01-simplicity
If you want to do anime-styled illustration, then I see no reason to limit yourself to 1 or 2 layers since that might make things more difficult to adjust later.

im trying to achieve the realistic look while maintaining the anime element, if you know what i mean.

Hey /ic/ I figured this was the best place to ask, though I'm not sure if you're willing to help. I want to know what the fuck is up with the fibonacci spiral. It's always placed over a painting as if there's something to see, but I never see any pattern, just a painting with a spiral over it.
In short:
>What should I be noticing?

Congratulations, you've skipped the step where you actually think it's important.
The fibonacci sequence looks nice in a general way, but not every aesthetically-pleasing thing lines up with it. Half of these are jokes.
>>
>>2596087
And here I was thinking I was moments away from having my view of the world completely turned around.
Whatever. Glad I got it out of the way.
>>
>>2596082
good way to think about it. the closer to the center of your spiral. the more detail. its you're image's main focal point. further you go away you can leave some detail out and not render as much

How long did take you faggots to get used to a tablet and then the programs, like Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai (Actually PTS is more easier to get into)?
Pic related is the best I can do in like 15 minutes or so.

I took a ps class in high school. Tablet took me prob 3 days. I played a lot of metroid prime hunters so maybe that helped.

>>2594439
You played Metroid Prime with a tablet?
>>
>>2594418
I knew how to use Photoshop before I started drawing regularly. Tablet probably took a week to get used to.

Why is it that in many of his paintings there is people doing some sort of gang sings?

Buy drawing on the right side of the brain, go to hm and s, and draw those guys and gals until you want to vomit. Rinse and repeat. Inspiration is flakey and not efficient if you want to git good. Concentrate on developing good habits and self discipline instead to ensure you will draw even when you feel lazy.
