Yo /ic/ I NEED YOUR HELP!!
I'm working on a huge school project due soon, which I worked on during class on the school computers w / Illustrator CC 2015. I saved it to work on it later on my home computer, which has Illustrator CS6 but not CC.
Problem is, Opening a CC file in CS6 results in all the layers being compressed into one and other information missing.
I need someone with Illustrator CC I can send my file to, who will save the file and convert it into CS6 compatible (Make a Copy>Illustrator CS6 (.ai) in file format dropdown menu).
HELP A BROTHER OUT please!! I can add you on skype
Will delete thread as soon as I get this sorted out :(
Shoot me an email anon- [email protected]

When can I stop studying and begin attempting to make finished artwork?
I feel like I might get bored of sketching figures all day, so what comes after? I've never fully rendered anything either.
you should always be trying to apply what you're studying with larger projects. You'll learn more from a large project and you'll have a better understanding of what you need to learn next. Also, focusing on making finished artwork will help with taste and personal style. It's all about balance.

Last time I tried finished stuff, it was when I started drawing in my grade 10 art class. It sucked, and that is why I never attempted painting and stuff ever again. I'll get started tomorrow. Thanks Friend
You should be doing artwork that you enjoy also anon.
Don't let d/ic/ks convince you that you can only study and then branch out.

Before you sleep, put every drawing/painting/sketch you did today into a single png and post it here.

Just take a quick pic with your phone,
I don't know how I can practice figure drawing.
There is this website who allow you to draw several model photos in a restricted time but I don't know if that's really helping.
I want to practice on motions, anatomy and all of that, I have the Loomis PDF but honestly I don't find it really appealing, the whole book is kind of a mess. I don't really get what I'm supposed to do.
I have several photos of references (pic rel, i love that picture), should I simply draw them without taking any measures, just with my eye and my pencil ?
>>2583890
I'm assuming you want to draw figures from imagination
So you could draw this pose just as a skeleton, nothing complicated or detailed just the basic forms.
The muscles on another layers, again just the important ones, knowing their insertions and origins, again, not super accurate,
Additionally you could try to draw the same pose from different angles
>>2583921
Yeah but I'm not able to draw every muscle, and even less drawing from different angles
>>2584043
wow
sounds like maybe u might want to think about
***practicing***
Was high. What do you see? There are many things that make up the drawing. See if you can guess.
..........
Work on it while you are sober now. post rezults.
Is inventing the figure just an exercise in memory? I ask this because I have no issue doing accurate figure studies, and I can reproduce that figure, gesture and all, without the source material with a good deal of accuracy. But whenever I try to invent figures on my own, the gestures never seem right nor does anything else. I have a good understanding of anatomy and the underlying structure, but I don't feel that it helps too much in a lot of cases.
Visual library + construction
Have you tried doing analytical figure drawing, i.e. Vilppu stuff?
>>2583810
Yeah. I've gone through tons of instructional videos and books. Vilppu, Robertson, Bridgman, etc.
It kinda stresses me out to think of not being able to draw the figure without any sort of reference. I really can't tell if it's just because I haven't drawn the figure from enough angles and poses, or if I'm just retarded.
>>2584228
Learn from my mistake, anon.
>draw just the simple construction frame
>Multiple angles. Sheets Of multiple angles.
>draw the frame with simple box/cylinder forms.
>Multiple angles. Sheets Of multiple angles.
Then add the muscles and drapery.
Any suggestions for art books that go beyond the typical Loomis, Vilppu, Robertston and Bridgeman? I'm looking for lesser-known art books that actually helped you improve.
>>2583787
What do you mean by "go beyond"?

pdf?
Tried google found nothing
ITT: Draw a person or an object with your non dominant hand.
I thought we'd enjoy a little humor around here.
Here's my contribution.
Here I butchered a drawing of a croissant (not a boomerang) and coffee (not a toilet with sticks over it).
not very funny.

Hey all I am an aspiring writer that has started a website dedicated to my works, unfortunately I am not very good in the art department and was hoping I may instigate a help you help me deal.
I am wanting are for my horror fiction writing and in return I can offer a dedicated page for you to upload any art and links you may want to promo your art work. In addition to that you will hold all rights to your art as I can not pay, so if you want to stop you can retract your art no harm done.
TLDR:
- I am a writer want art for stories
- Can offer free promotion on my website
- Can't offer money

is this copy pasta?
ticks all the cliches
>can't offer money
I hope no one ever gives you money for the stuff you spend painstaking hours to do.

Oh shit, thats some good shit !
Just got a job in nyc at a museum. Im 18. How do i go from here and become famous and rich?
Loomis
>>2583472
what do you do there?
>>2583472
Befriend rich people that visit the museum.
So this is like my last ditch effort of trying to find a fucking speed painting video.
It's like 3 dudes, 2 twins standing on some floating rocks. It's got sort of an anime style but it's really well painted. One of them has like telekinetic powers. The 2 twins are like good and evil or something idk.
This is my best description of what it looks like. But I can't find the vid for the life of me or the artist. I just remember watching it once.
>>2583364
Needs more loomis, you don't have much idea of feeling form. Also you're symbol drawing two stick figures on the side.
>>2583373
Thanks for the critique. I speed drew that in about a minute but I could use some improvement.
Anyway, happen to ever see a painting that looks remotely similar to that?
the style looked like Kawacy, but I couldn't find it on any of his pages, so I don't think it's him.
