This is a rather common picture of JP's velociraptors from JP3

He's good at what he does. Props to him for using masks and a airbrush, that's not something you often see from your "typical instragram artist"

So long as he's not secretly tracing the figures then he's talented enough.

1) That's a retarded assignment.
2) Next time resize your image and rotate it.
3) Does it need to actually have the cookie in the piece? I would take a different approach, and do pieces based on what fortune cookies mean/represent. You can make a list of all the words or ideas you associate with fortune cookies and then base pieces on those themes. For example, here are some things I think of:
-Americanization of culture
-hopes and desires
-opening things
-discovery
-...."in bed"
-modernization of religion/spiritual things
-seeing the future
-chance
-self-fulfilling prophecy
4) if you literally need to have fortune cooking in there, then I would try to take some abstract shapes out of the cookies. They have rather strange forms and depending how you light them I bet you could get some really interesting shadow shapes. Or crumble them and see how that changes things.

Hands opening fortune cookies, gold and jewels fall out.

Geometric reduction of basic fortune cookie shape, add lustrous surface and funky aesthetic values.

Fortune cookies with dark prophetic predictions. Spooky dark and gritty.

photorealistic drawing of a fortunecookie is a go

ok but what's the ms5 equivalent of ctrl h i'm tired of trying to squint over selections

>program has hundreds of tools and functions, all carefully mapped out to shortcuts
>doesn't so much as even catalog them

Why has this been the case for every art program I've ever used?

You can use "K" to "ree move" your selection.

Main problems are butchered inconsistent perspective, proportions that aren't kept together, very boring background and attempts at lighting without identifying sources of it.

Nothing, all art is good.

Define mainstream cartooning
Yes, I love anime.

>>2547437
Okay example, look at western cartoons from 70's, 80's and 90's then look at something like Adventure Time or any current Cartoon Network show.

>>2547441
Not the same anon, but what the fuck are you talking about? Explain yourself.

This is unrelated, but I find it entertaining that your opening picture is from a designer from where I'm from...and it's not New York.

>>2547536
It's a big city with a lot of art stuff there. Print illustration is massive in New York. Not sure about comics or animation, but I bet you it is still better than most cities.

New York City has a pretty great art community, especially for illustration and comics.
If you have the time, I'd check out the Society of Illustrators and see what they have to offer. It's a museum/community focused on both illustration and comic art that offers some pretty great stuff like exhibitions and figure drawing.
Unfortunately, the animation scene over there isn't too great and everything is moving west. There's only a handful of good studios like Titmouse and Augenblick, but other than that I can't really say much about the animation community there.

What does it do?

Nothing

I hate my sketches.
That's why I first sketch out a few ideas and then choose which one I want to finish.
The other sketches won't see the light of day ever again.

How about you write down you idea for your picture first.
Let's say you want to draw a knight fighting a dragon.
Limit yourself to 8 thumbnails / rough sketches.
Choose the one you like most and then just finish it. Don't do more thumbs and don't switch to a new one until you're done.

>>2545881
realistically it's because you fucking suck. there's no point polishing a turd so don't worry about your "pieces". Just get good, and you'll notice your work becomes more complete. Gogo draw.

>>2545881
Top Jake Parker tip if its not working from the first minute of sketching don't force it. Abandon it and sketch something else. The same goes with rendering a sketch if its not working go with your instinct and abandon it try again.

>>2547198
Probably the wrong place to ask. If you don't enjoy making art you should probably not been on this board. Lurk more and stfu.

In animation?. It looks pretty neat, I still watch some old animation from time to time.
In image, static?. meh. I don't hate it, I even followed some artists that made stuff like that when I used DA, but while i like it, it isn't something I actively search while searching for art, or something I would make.

honestly it's just how attractive the style is

the reason anime and disney stuff do so well is because it's concentrated appeal; the average person finds it good-looking and wants to see more. cartoon style works well in animation because it's expressive, and statically it can be cool if you can appreciate the stylization and expressiveness, but for the bulk of the internet (i.e. getting a lot of fans) they don't give a shit about expressiveness. they want to look at things that they think is pretty.

>>2546190
This. I've had plebs say to me American cartoon styles are ugly. Mostly everyone wants wholesome cal arts cuteness or anime.

Basically you gotta make things fuckable. Not that I have any kind of following but it's just what I've noticed. I think only stoners and weird types like the kind you find on 4chan appreciate cartoon styles.

hey Jeff

Literally any mechanical pencil will be functionally the same

Dont know pic but can recommend steadtlers leadholder, pretty good. Other than that the mechanical pencil is not as important, since you are drawing whats in it.

Once there was Anon
We couldn't get along
Cause Cause he asked about the tool,
Proved he was a fool,
Now I think that he is just a dong.

anonimity gives the best honesty you can wish for.
