They're probably not that great, all I want from Krenz is to see the fucking videos of him painting like pic related, just that, but I think they don't exist

I don't see how a tutorial would help anyone with this. It doesn't look like he's using any complicated technical functions you'd need to be taught. Most of his pictures seem to rely on his experience. He's picking colors and mixing them himself and probably using only one or two brushes throughout. A simple step by step probably wouldn't give much insight into how he makes his design decisions or rendering decisions if it's all as intuitive to him as it comes across to me.

This sticky is overwhelming to a newcomer, in-concise, and difficult for finding a starting point based on an individual's skill. It's also just plain too long and littered with corollaries between main sections to bog down the uninvested reader.

The original sticky did it better because:
- Steps of artist development were clearly outlined with numbers (Step 1 - Fixing symbol drawing, Step 2 - Construction, Step 3 - Perspective, etc. etc.)
- Individual steps of artist development were briefly outlined in one-two paragraphs and a book to read for more information was provided in the same block of information for those who wanted to read further. This enabled the process of people painlessly reading the paragraph, being able to determine if they needed to spend time in those fundamentals, and then easily having a bootstrapping point with a single book (or two) to go to.

I hope your sticky improves and begins to read more as a section of fundamentals with a corresponding text for those wanting to read more as opposed to it being a self-enclosed tutorial (what it currently reads as) with a density of information that lacks enough brevity to be considered useful at a glance.

Maybe do a github with pull requests so that you can curate the informativeness of your content as opposed to a google doc?

>>2540540
As it currently stands, the original sticky is just plain better and there's no reason why I wouldn't recommend that instead of your Google doc.

Again, I'd love to see it come into its own, wish you well.

Give me strong men to draw.

The beginner thread and the alternative style thread is somewhere on this board, use that instead of creating threads to showcase your art.

I'm a fan of Meduzi, I'm a fan of this.

I've done it a bit, though not recently.

Honestly the best thing to do is to do is gather the obvious things (portable stool, easel, brushes, paints, canvas etc) and then go out and do it. Then you will very quickly realize what you need or don't need. Like maybe you will go "oh fuck, I didn't bring any rags or paper towels with me" and you know to bring it next time. Or "crap, the wind keep blowing over my easel, I need a weight on it". "Fuck I'm thirsty in the summer heat, I should bring a water bottle". "Dammit, I don't have a way of transporting the wet finished painting easily without smearing oils over everything".

There's a lot of people who have written excellent blog posts listing all their preferences, but at the end of the day that's what works for them and may not work for you. Get outside, paint, fail, get frustrated, and figure out what things you find you will need to bring next time (or leave at home next time).

Also you don't need any fancy expensive pochade boxes or anything. You can build most yourself or just make do with cheap things and find solutions around things. For example you can stick the wooden end of your wet brushes into the ground so they stand up vertical and you don't need to hold them in your hand or use a fancy pochade box with holes in it for them.

>>2542250

It depends on what you use; oils, watercolor, guache, acrylic etc

I paint with oils and I use a french easel and backpack to carry everything i need, though usually not too far from my car. My French easel is the easel and holds my palette and spare paints as well as lidded palette cups with my turp and my medium. My backpack has paper towels, trash bags, brushes, silicoil jar of turp, and spare medium. My medium is usually straight liquin

Nathan Fowkes and James Gurney both use watercolor and guache outside and their sets don't include any easel, but you can find it online at one of their blogs.

>>2542250
Painting outside?? Do you mean virtual plenty air ??

>>2542237
There's a self promo thread and a question thread. Both of those would be better than starting a new one just about yourself.

Need to flesh out the Wallmaster before cleaning up and coloring.

>>2509997
We got a real nigga here, folks.

I'd say you wouldn't be out of bounds raising the Wallmaster up a couple dozen pixels, you're covering so much of him up with link. He typically comes down from well above anyway.

Is this a commission or just a personal project? It looks great!

>>2510006
...also the closer I look at it the smear you've applied to the eyes looks a bit wonky. Try making the smear the same size vertically as the eye coming to rest; maybe it will look worse I don't know, but could be worth a shot.

Can you like explain this shit? I don't really understand it.

mmk well

1 draw the circles
make the head go outside the top circle
shoulders go partially in between 2 and 3
tits can go to an optional max of circles 4-5
belly for 6
78 are max hips
9 knees 10 feet

this is just an aesthetic shortcut for keeping your fat bitches proportionately sexy
ive found it works most of the time, fun to doodle and you can adjust poses.

>>2542545
how old are you?

I guess your thread flopped the first time so you made the exact same one again?

Anyone who has the phrase "The new Picasso" attached to their art is generally shit and creates nothing fresh or new. Like that 17 year old fag who's name I am forgetting.

And I actually like Picasso.

No artist from the 80's should have the right to call himself "the new" something. The superfluous Picasso maybe.

Yet, why do you care? Life is short, don't waste it on things you hate.

>>2542437
its ok

>>2542437
It looks pretty good only (in my opinion) the laurel wreath is kinda out of place

Not bad but the way the wreath cuts off the tower on the bottom looks a bit strange. Also the yellow outline maybe shouldn't follow the wreath on the sides. I dunno, just a thought.
