i dont really know what to work on in my art, so can you guys help me out?
Read the sticky.
Nothing looks wrong to you, Anon? Nothing at all?
>>2558861
This looks rushed, do you have another one or two? (maybe some where you did spend more time on)
It's hard to help you with only picture.
Holy shit. What a bunch on pretentious bullshit! Will people kickstart my dick as long as I color it with nice gradients and talk about how you all will learn to experience dicks in your mouth in a new way?! I'm both gobsmacked and amazed at people.
"Change the way you see your day"
Are people so absorbed in their own ignorance, that they can't experience a moment of joy in their life without some dickface telling them to?
"Give yourself time"
Wait, what? Ah, when I see the clock like that I suddenly feel like I have more time. My meeting is not untill quarter past magenta.

I'm furious, /ic/. And I blame Scott "TIMELORD" Thrift. What a dick.
>your average person is actually retarded and you can advertise literal shit to them and they will buy it
who knew advertising worked so well?
Can't wait for the iduppps vid.
Noped out after a minute or so. I honestly would have thought this was a parody.
What's the name of the style of this picture?
You guys got any more? I kinda love this style of posters.
>>2555226
it's in the style of 20th century pinup posters, most popular around war time, often found on the walls of sleeping quarters anywhere low ranking military personal were stationed/deployed
>>2555226
40-50s ads and movie posters
Loomis did this kind of stuff.
Thanks anons!
Question.
Are classes worth it? With all the internet open to me, is it really worth spending money on classes.
>>2551392
Depends on the class, the teacher, what you want to learn, what level you are at, and how much work you put into the class. The answer can be anywhere from "yes, it is worth every penny" to "it's a waste of time and money and actually built in bad habits".
>>2551392
Depends on you, nigger.
It's the same as asking "is buying all the premium content of Proko/Anything else worth it?"
Most people here are self taught.
IMO as long as classes aren't shit, worths the sheckels.

Real mature. Please don't shit up my thread with /pol/ and /r9k/ junk.

This looks like someone who knows how to draw is intentionally drawing it bad, sort of like aiming for the look of oingo boingo in jojo.

i have never been able to grasp what drew such a loyal following to this girl. im honestly sort of salted about it. like she managed to draw a decent following, and the fans that she has will stan for her to no end but i can't put my finger on how she got so many fans.
I'm not an artist myself, my younger brother who's about 16 years old is. He has been working with an art teacher for the past couple years doing stuff like sculpture, painting, woodworking. She says she's building his repertoire and developing skills he needs to be an artist. To me it all sounds like bullshit, but I'm not around often and my parents think she's doing great work.
I think he should be working on a tablet (he has one, broke it right after he got it and I just managed to fix it yesterday). I think the physical art is getting him nowhere and that he needs to just start drawing stuff on a tablet. If I was forceful with my parents I'm sure I could convince them to let me take over his art education and either get him a different teacher, get the old working the right stuff, or just teach him myself.
Who's in the right here /ic/? What should I do?
This is something the teacher worked with him on. I suspect she touched it up a least a little. Maybe I'm cynical
>>2556077
your younger brother is 16, he is old enough to make his own reasonable choices
And another one. It looks okay, these are the best though, there's not too many like this.

Do any of you have any experience with drawing/painting on a guitar?
I'm currently in talks about a potential commission to put some artwork on an electric guitar, however because I've never done this before I'm unsure on whether it's wise to actually go ahead. I've done some research today but there doesn't seem to be a definitive "best" technique to get a bit of art onto this material.
If any of you have any experience with this I'd love to hear it, especially if you have any horror stories (I'm terrified of ruining an expensive guitar because I'm not 100% clued in).
Cheers guys
>>2556692
I'd probably go with some permanent markers, but I have no idea if that's the best way. Airbrush is good too, but it's costly and can be hard if you gon't have enough experience with it. Using stencils and some ordinary spray paint might be okay too. Just get something that's both peperment and doesn't layer too much. You might also invest in some quality fixative.
Honestly, I think you should just buy a plank of wood (or a few), some acrylic spray paint (or whatever they paint guitars with), paint that shit and when it dries try whatever you want.
But most importantly - DON'T experiment on the guitar itself, don't paint on it unless you're sure what you're doing - try the techniques on that plank beforehand.
>>2556692
Pic looks like someone printed the painting on a sticker desu
>>2556773
I did the spraypaint process before like this guy said OP.
What I did was covered my canvas in a layer of masking tape(like masking tool in Photoshop). In this case you wrap the whole area you will be painting in a layer of masking tape.
Draw your design on the masking tape layer and use an exacto knife to extract the image. Then all you have to do is paint.
Usually painting shit like this is 90% preparation so take that into consideration. This also helps for the sharpest lines. If you find it tedious you can always use brushes with spraypaint by spraying some on a wooden or plastic palette to work with.
Any other shitty artists got an Instagram? Trying to follow some raw ass artists hit me with a follow too even tho my shits ugly
hoeinater
what's your IG? I love your shit.

whasts your ig beruh
More proof that talent is overrated.
Concetta Antico is a tetrachromat which means she has a extra cone and sees a 100 times more colors than a regular person. Yet her art looks like absolute garbage and her use of color is especially awful. Enjoy the schadenfreude, /ic/. You're gonna make it.
>>2558185
Seems like she has a rare genetic condition and is using that to market herself and her art.
As far as I recall there's still no evidence that tetrachromacy actually makes a difference in the number of colour you see, and it's pure speculation that they can see more. Saying 100 times more is certainly hyperbole.
How do we know it doesn't look amazing to other tetrachromats?? Huh???? This could be like an acid trip to them.
>>2558209
>How do we know it doesn't look amazing to other tetrachromats??
this is actually a valid point
at least in color choices, the rest still looks shitty af
>tfw you start to think about all the money you'll have to make doing art just to get into the black from all the money you've spent on art supplies you've bought that weren't even strictly necessary to learn.
I'll need to make about $10,000 and I'm years from making any money with my art. A-at least I didn't go to art school?
>>2557773
Money you've bought art supplies with? Dude what?
Digital is kind of the norm for serious artists now for a reason. Did you buy like, paint and canvas and stuff? Pollock that stuff fast and buy a Wacom with what you get from it
Are there anatomy reference books or sources for dragons or other mythical creatures?
>>2557682
dragons aren't real dumbass
>>2557682
There are, but I personally don't recommend it. Learn how to draw reptiles instead, and learn how to render scales and other stuff.

Draw from life.
Study lizards or similarly armored creatures and exaggerate them. Look at other peoples art and think about why they made it the way it is; understand their processes.
Your pic, for example, looks like its based on a Horned Lizard.
Research is part of the artistic process, Anon.

Why do you charge so little for your commissions?
To show I'm better than those industry faggots by letting even the poor get their dues.

The fans do.
