On Jana Schirmer's painting or on Procreate? I haven't tried it with the iPad pro/Apple pencil combo (which she used) but it's a great app.

Very good op, the lighting on the nose seems off but the rest is fine. The hands I'd make look a little bent to show the joints

People(4chins) constantly tell me that I'm suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. Is it true or are you guys jelly?

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is total noob, 5 is intermediate and 10 is pro, I'd say you are a 3.5.
You are on the right track but you are still suffering from many of the beginner mistakes.
It's okay to be positive about your own work but If you think your art is anything above a 4 I'd say you are indeed being delusional.

not OP, but no.
I think that digital drawing lacks substance and remove any distinction or proper style
It's not bad, I could probably not realize landscapes like that without a fuckton of references, but I'm not baffled
Anyway, godspeed OP, don't stop improving

It all depends on how you use it's and what for. There's a reason a lot of people tell you not to start with ref before sketching, it can limit your creativity. Long term for your own personal growth it might be detrimental if all you do is bash without taking the time to draw. If you start with sketches fist then find images to make it work that's probably a better way to work.
Now about the vid, for how cartoony this guy draws the use of photo bash seems like a cop out. Tat's probably my bias against bashing talking, sure it saves him a lot of work for the same relative outcome and if this is just for throw away concept junk (that no one will ever see) then HELL YES bash away. But it seems like he could have quickly painted in the rocks and river if he wanted to.
If this is for finished promo work that'll be blown up and printed on shit at high res then it just looks like crap, in my opinion of course. You have photo level rendering in parts of the background and this ultra cartoony rendering up front. Normies and AD's probably wont care, ultimately it's up to the artists personal taste and how they want their work to be seen.
The realities of deadlines mean everyone should know how to do this type of work but it doesn't have to be the way you do your own personal work, maybe you even paint back into the photos more so the contrast doesn't seem so stark.

Was at Anime Expo 2016 this year, which had over 500 artists in Artist Alley. Why do so many artists spam unoriginal ideas so often? There are certainly some artists who stand out, but I'd say a good 80% of them at every artist alleys I go to do the same chibi, cute, or sexy waifus year after year and it's completely unoriginal.
What I noticed missing was art like pic related. Renascence-era styled artwork with fine details, and accurate symmetry. I saw virtually none of that, and if there was anything like that, the artist used did a very simple, plain, piece with crude brush strokes that looked more 19th century. Is that too hard for some of these so called artists? Or are stupid fucking waifus drawn in slightly different poses over 9000 times the only thing they can come up with?
For example, why not have all your favorite waifus conversing at a beautifully drawn pub or train station? Afraid it won't sell as much because you're isolating your customer base and it's not personalized enough? I don't believe so. That will appeal to everyone. I think it makes a huge difference and would make you as an artist stick out among the sea of waifu drawings. Artwork like that stands out and sparks the imagination and makes the viewer think deeply. A self portrait of Tracer doing a sexy pose is nothing and doesn't make me think as the viewer and is no better than a pinup girl poster.

Do you remember the image/scene/cartoon/movie/game that gave the spark for art.

I read a lot of Marvel/DC as a kid but I remember being especially impressed by Rork as a kid, even though I didn't get the plot because I was very young.
Also, Gustave Dore, because his work was on the books I learned to read with. I only learned way later it was done by the same dude.
> I was born with ligameme though.
Seriously when I was almost a baby an obstetrician told my mother that my job would involve drawing. Go figure.

help me /ic/ I don't know what to do to improve. its been a year since I've started drawing but it feels like i am progressing too slowly.
I know people online say draw from life, but am I really suppose to hangout in a subway like a bum doing drawings too mediocre to show to people passing by?
Right now the only practice i do on a consistent basis is the requests I get from a thread I have on /i/. I never went to school for art or taken an art class. Most of my knowledge comes from things i remember off the show art attack when i was a kid, and also google "how to draw X".
any and all tips appreciated. please don't tell me to read loomis, I downloaded the pdf and got 30 pages in and the only "new" thing I got from it was, and im paraphrasing, "art is hard, don't be discouraged, just keep drawing". Please don't recommend books that have more words than pictures, reading books is torture to me.
If possible, can you tell me some of your favourite drawing excercises to do? I have difficulty putting lines over construction lines without it looking "rigid".
Here is drawing done with construction lines http://orangecast.tumblr.com/image/146215872523
here is drawing done without construction lines and just drew it straight from the get go http://orangecast.tumblr.com/image/147004420573
both drawings I heavily abused ctrl+z to get the lines I wanted but the one where I didn't use construction lines looks a little smoother.
Thanks in advance, I feel like i'm stuck in a rut and the only exercise I know to do is "draw". I use paint tool SAI and a bamboo tablet.

Dude i've been drawing since I was 13 and I'm 25 now, and I'm still learning. Remember that. You never stop learning or improving.
Also, people say read loomis but mostly they mean "Do the exercises in Loomis." So start there, do all of the exercises.
Also don't draw without construction lines. Get off digital drawing and use paper and pencil. Draw loosely, use your whole arm or at least the elbow to draw and not your wrist, you'll get better looser lines that way. Don't worry about doing lineart like shit yet you're nowhere near needing to finish works like this.
Furthermore, stop drawing stylized. Draw from life and try to draw what you see, not what you think you see. Draw a still life and make it look as close to that object as possible, draw people and draw them how they actually look, don't stylize them. You have to learn what things actually look like before you stylize or it's going to look, well, like shit.
Good luck bro

You can do it anon!
You can do anything you want and desire.
You dont have to believe in yourself, believe in the man who believed in you when nobody else did!
Burning out means failing him.

In about a few months I will be an intern in a social enterprise that’s located in a non-western country. The company crafts bikes that are made from bamboo, which they cultivate and harvest themselves. As an extra, I want to make a small documentary about this, the goal is to make it useful for the company’s marketing. Unfortunately, I’ve got no experience at all and a shitty 8 year old toshiba filmcamera.
Where should I look if I want to connect to film-making enthusiasts, who might even be open to help me with editing?
I still have questions like: What editing program should I use? What elements should I avoid when making an informative product-documentary? What is the best way to write a script? Any more advice?

Hey /co/ I'm thinking of making a comic based off of /fit/'s culture. The main character is a dyel who wanders from gym to gym aimlessly (giving me a chance to make fun of planet fitness and cross fit gyms) until he meets Louie, who seems to be hardened and the biggest guy in the gym only for it to turn out that he's just a scary looking but very awkward yet mildly arrogant sperg. It starts simply at first with Louie looking to becoming the strongest power lifter in the world (already being able to squat 400 pounds at 17) and Danny being dragged into adventures such as Louie trying to get a thick gf or the gym beingattacked by gains goblins or accidentally drinking creating and almost destroying a whole city or not wanting to get a job for the sake of the NEET lifestyle. Louie's weapon is a barbell that he throws around with a few weights almost with complete ease that he uses to attack roided enemies like scooby and rich pannini. Towards the end of the series They begin getting attacked by interplanetary enemies only to find out they've been attempting to kill Louie because he's been expending and using up so much energy that it's actually speeding up the end of the universe by 100% due to entropy. Louie begins to put on his angry face after being caught in space jail and is resolved to lift away the rest of the universe by himself. Danny is unsure whether to interfere or not but later on Louie actually does not lift the universe but he's lifting the burden of everyone's lives and as the dark circle encloses around him he finds himself in a complete blank room squating a theoretical barbel with millions of human fears, hate, sadness, despair, as everyone begins to finally ascend via neon genesis evangelism. However Danny does his best to come back to Louie and snap him out of it. Louie is appalled that although he is lifting everyone's feels.
Thoughts? I'm still trying to come up with a solid ending
