ideally you should be able to do it in your head, but if not you have to set up a horizon line with vanishing points. and then later erase it or digitally you can do it on another layer

>>2521377
oh or you can do it all on the grid and then use tracing paper or something like that as well

>>a Perspective Grid. Do you actually create one? If so, how?
Tools my friend. There are some wonderful perspective grid creators out there.

Most are stand-alone, and simply output a reference image for you to overlay in your work. Some can be overlaid on top of your desktop too.

Here's a list of the ones I personally know of:
- PerspectiveEditor, by KNDY (Japanese, free, outputs to image, has a really intuitive/easy-to-use UI):
http://www33.atwiki.jp/kndy/pages/94.html
I personally really like this one, so I translated it to English.
SWF download:

EXE download:

- Carapace, by EPIC Games (English, free, outputs to image):
http://epic.gm/carapace

- EasyRuler, by eikun (Japanese, free, overlays on top of existing software, has many many features):
http://www3.airnet.ne.jp/opa-opa/EasyRuler/
I REALLY want to translate this one, maybe some day I will. It appears to have all sorts of useful perspective rulers, 3D tools, etc:

Picture related, what I've been doing using PerspectiveEditor.

You've been here for how many years now? and you still havent made any improvement worth talking about? I bet your loli reaction/avatar folder is 3x larger than the folders that have your actual work

really just a bunch of squiggles lmao. took three-ish days last year.

i'd do the clouds differently if i redid it.

You're poor and feel responsible for your family's well-being? Then why would you ever want to be an artist or have that as a profession if you care about your family and need an actual job to support them.

>>2526913
I'm 18, by family I meant my parents. I don't have many needs, I just don't feel right when I see them worried or arguing. I would hate to make them invest in me if it's not necessary.

Art schools are good for networking and acquiring skillsets. You can acquire the skills you need by devoting yourself to your art at home. There's plenty of faces in the industry that don't have a school paper to their name. If you're really into art, you really won't need art school as there are much cheaper ways to git gud at home. IDK what the state of art schools in the US is, but across the pond a paper means quite little when compared to a beefy portfolio.

as it does with everything else. it cripples it.

>>2525875
do you think that it can also help it?

>>2525877
No.

>>2525871
It's the same basic practices as Peter Han's stuff. It's a place to start as any other.

>>2525871

I think that some stupid asshole didn't read the sticky nor was in /beg/inner thread because then he would know that it is one of the most often recommended resources here.

OP, stop being so new and such retarded faggot and actually lurk a bit before smearing your idiotic shit all over the board.

Here, I'll be super helpful, have even updated sticky one:

Intro lessons look like exercises from an actual art school so I guess it's already better then most meme sites out there.

>>2526570
Essentially yes, though there will be a bit of an adjustment at first as you get used to the difference in tactile feedback

>>2526570
No. Get a sketchbook and a pen. Nothing can replace them.

>>2526570
If I only lift weights will I be able to lift other things? That's how you sound. Progress is made in your brain.

Of course, there's also the technique to master but it's a relatively minor part.

>>2525953
for some reason, traditional media sculpting goes here, and digital one goes in >>>/3/

also, keep in mind that becoming a decent sculptor is a lifetime effort, so you'll have to decide if you want to abandon the painting path, if you're already into that, or just want to become mediocre at one more thing.

>>2525953
look on youtube for zbrush summit playlist. also /3/ usually have threads about zb.

>>2525953

eat3d have some nice tutorials. I'd recommend Mike Jensen's hard surface techniques 1&2 to get you started and if you want to go more in depth for a full game character production pipeline "Character production" by Mike Pavlovich is good but it's not just focused on zbrush it includes Maya and other software that are needed to make a game asset.

Having good fundamental art skills will make your life a hell of a lot easier so make sure you understand your anatomy and proportions and do a lot of research into the thing you are sculpting you can never have enough references.
Also, I know it might seem like obvious advice but for your high poly mesh try to make things as they are constructed IRL for example if you are modelling a gun, then make sure your grips are actual separate pieces of geometry and the trigger and the slide etc. create them all as seperate subtools.

You mean as in a standing pose? Of cpurse, there are multiple ways to make a static pose look dynamic. Contraposso is just the most basic; it's literally shifting the opposite sides of weight to balance points. You can still balance a figure through other means.

Better than 90% of /ic/, but the plot is something straight out of deviant art

What's the point of having good art if the story is trash?

No reee plz

who is /ic/?

>>2519359
Because 99% of the time the person looked better without the tattoos. It's kind of like graffiti on your body, sort of tacky and not really art.

but anyway look how stupid that looks. what's the point? am I supposed to believe you actuallyhave gears inside you? because it doesn't look realistic enough for that to be believable. is it supposed to be funny? how am I supposed to interpret this? if I blur my eyes it just looks like a mess of grey on your chest.
that being said I like some tattoos but too many are all about the concept of the piece and just look like shit if you're just a casual viewer. I like bold designs that go with the flow of the body and actually bring something to it.

>>2526775
Don't create your own thread, genius.

This should be on /gd/
/ic/ is for ilustrators and painters
