like...what the actual fuck. I used to like ZenPencils at the very beginning. It was motivational back in his first few works because it was something new (like inspiring phrases from movies BUT ITS A COMIX XDDD)
damn. All he does these days is some stronk woman VS TROLSS bullshit. He turned into a joke, especially with that shitty Myazaki-featuring issue.
I don't even know people who deal with trolls SO MUCH that they actually need something like this. Mostly people deal with life problems like the lack of money/health/support when they following their dream (and i know what im talking about - i started to draw late and left my job for that)
People who need some motivation to deal with TROLLS specifically are probably some autists with ego.

Okay guys, so how does non-generic non-tumblr art look?
Can you post some names/pictures of artists that are "generic tumblr artists" VS "non-generic ones" (excluding classical art, of course)
pic is of course unrelated

Sorry friend. You only deserve generic Tumblr artists.

I don't know. If you post concept art people will mock that as well, so what's the point of even asking anyone in this shithole?
>>
>>2584647
A good art style should be rooted in some basic elements, like how you render form, how much attention you pay to details, the colors/textures, what basic shapes you prefer, how much your gesture/construction is showing - that's what makes it versatile.
Ima post a few I like, but first - pic related, a pretty generic tumblr stuff.

Anyone got any inspirational quotes from artists? I'll start.

how do you guys get over the paranoia of startng an instagram or making a facebook page. part of the reason i do art is because i have a medical condition that makes me socially isolated. i am deathly afraid of people i know and avoid irl finding my artpage and laughing at me. i feel it is better not to try than to try and fail and to be seen as failing.

Well you sound pretty pathetic, OP. I don't think any amount of advice will really help you or lead you to where you want to be.
But i'll try my luck for the lulz.
You just do it and try to remind yourself that other people's opinions don't feed you, clothe you or keep you alive. Really and truly, other people's thoughts, judgements and criticisms are entirely worthless unless you're some celebrity or pop star.

welp, i typed out a long thing an accidentally lost it all, hahaha, abriged version:
see a therapist and get medication to help you with this issue if you haven't done so already
use a pen name, don't tell people you draw, if you get good enough to support yourself from art just tell people you work from home doing super boring shit but it pays the bills and you get to chill at home
if someone ever comes over and recognizes your art supplies and gets super pushy to see your work, have some middle of the road milquetoast studies/landscapes/photocopies on hand and present that as your typical work, tell them it's just a hobby and that you do it because it's relaxing. tell them you're super slow and that if you don't like something about a piece you'll redo the whole thing and that it doesn't upset you, as they say, it's more about the journey than the destination. this buys you time/a defense if they ever ask to see what you're currently working on later down the road

Hi D/ic/k heads
Ive got this little set up for gouache that i want to sketch and paint with whilst on bus/train
but the damn gouche keeps cracking whenever i pour it in and let it dry. it doesn't happen with watercolor.
I dont want to pour out fresh pain every time i want to paint for 15 minutes to 30 minutes. i do that for dedicated plein air sessions.
any solutions? do you guys put gouache in half pans?

Dried gouache pans will never have the same consistency as paint straight from the tube. You can keep them from breaking up by adding gum arabic to the mix, but really, just take out a few tubes.

How does one stop drawing with lines and begin painting straight onto a canvas digitally?
The learning curve seems terrifyingly steep and I really don't even know where our how to start. Does anybody here have any good tips, advice or video tuts on how to make the transition?

ok i'll post this here so other digital artists can screencap or whatever. I can't attach multiple mages, but i'll probably post a few times.
Digital Rendering requires four skills:
>1. the ability to paint from light-to-dark
>2. the ability to paint from dark-to-light
>3. an understanding of the anatomy of light
>4. an understanding of edge control.
if you look at the gif he's pretty much looping skills 1 and 2 until he gets the result he wants. Consistent lighting requires skill 3, and believable form requires skill 4.

this is the anatomy of light i'm referring to.
Here are some videos I found to explain light properties.

When you paint with lines, you ultimately end up just painting them out, so in a way you answered your own question:
>begin painting straight onto a canvas digitally
you can fix your mistakes very easily in digital, you have an unlimited supply of every color forever, so if you're willing to scrap huge chunks of your image you can experiment like crazy.

Edge control is an important aspect of painting that's pretty hard to use properly.
Edges are the borders between two colors:
>a hard edge is an abrupt change between two colors,
>a soft edge is a smooth gradation between two colors.
Sinix talks about it here, but it's kind of watered down. I recommend reading alla prima or something similar if you're serious about learning these painting concepts..
