I feel this isn't finished, there is something I could add to make this.. better?
>>2514975
It needs something phallic imo
I think this would benefit from more contrast in your values. Your environment is looking a bit boring not because it's missing stuff to look at, but because it's mostly midtones. I made this to show what I mean. I'm sure it'd look even better with actual attention, not just some quick Photoshop fiddling.
It's helpful to check things in greyscale occasionally to make sure your contrast looks good. It's a lot easier to lose track of it when you're using color.

>that + contrast
Holy shit, it's like two different pictures.
Not the OP, it's just interesting to see the transition.
Hey guys OP from thread >>2482787 here.
We kicked it off with the skype group but decided it'd be fun to add some more people. Been going well for a few weeks now, we have established assignments and all among occasionally trying other group activites related to drawing. If you're looking for people to discuss art with in a friendly environment or somewhere to post your work and get feedback you're welcome to join us.
If you'd like to be added post a sample of your work in this thread along with your skype username. Only real requirement is being active and not just lurking.
post work of people in the group and i will consider joining.
>>2517710
Move over to discord and i'll consider it
Do you think you guys could give me some helpful advice on drawing proportions and see on how I can improve this drawing?

>>2517275

I don't know if this is the right place, but I wrote a poem on a whim and I want to see if anyone likes it or if I should stop forever.
Write me a fancy limerick
About my smokin’ pot
A life of pain and poverty
And never I’ve forgot
For each day it brings us
One close to our demise
So while we grin and bear it
We wipe tears from our eyes
But when we breathe that acrid fog
The horizon’s not so dim
And we could even laugh or love
With bowls full to the brim
So stop and stay a while
My wife, My friend, or son
I’d offer it to friend or foe
One for all, or all for one
Inhale the hate and pain outside
Feel the fire burn within
Breathe out relief and happiness
Meet the day’s start with a grin
And when I’m old and dying
Gasping for my last breathe
Just light a joint for grandpa
And i’ll go smiling to my death

It has a medieval feel to it

I was going for bar song
It's good stuff.
David Choe does some awesome work but he seems like an absolute douche bag of a person.

what this anon said
>>2513843
he's pretty shit tbqh
What do you listen to while drawing/painting?
I like listening to post rock and more chill instrumental stuff
Dark side of the moon and goodbye yellow brick road.
Audio books, podcasts, and whatever music I'm into at the moment.

is purple stronger than blue?
is orange the most underrated colour?
these questions and more may be answered in this thread.
>>2517944
>is purple stronger than blue?
Define "stronger". I don't think any hue is stronger than any other hue really. It's only one property of colour, and one of the less important ones too.
>is orange the most underrated colour?
No, if anything it is overrated. Traditionally warm colours like reds and oranges have been given more emphasis in art than cooler colours.
>>2517953
generally people define color strength as what is "hardest on the eyes" so in the category of red being the strongest and green being the "weakest" what would purple be in comparison to blue?
>>2517958
I've never heard that definition for colour strength. And why is red the hardest on the eyes and green the weakest? What if you have a bright toxic green colour?
It's kind of a weird way of approaching colour though since colour is all relative. So making absolute statements about the impact or strength of isolated colours is somewhat pointless, especially when only dealing with hue and not discussing saturation or value.
Can you guys recommend the best Watercolor courses out there that is extensive and covers beginner to advanced materials?

uhh not many people here use watercolors. try to check through book thread, maybe read up on some other forums about it. do your own research.
Is there any book that covers the basics for that sweet sweet silver age style?
>>2517671
Loomis.
>>2517671
"How to draw the Marvel way" is pretty much exactly what you're looking for. Also a great book overall on drawing from imagination.
>>2517671
dude, use the books thread.....
what the best way to practice painting faces on photoshop? I mean as in an effective way to learn besides repititions
even simple ways to paint. Idc.
>>2517390
You seem to want an easy way instead of the proper way. Tracing is probably a good substitute for skillfor you, find something like DesignDoll and pose and trace for your enjoyment.
This also seems like a good question for a thread for question that don't deserve their own thread, keep a lookout for that.
>>2517508
The only helpful advice you gave is to go find the question thread
Im designing my own logo for my business, its a tattoo and piercing shop with thoughts of offering graphic design/illustration as well.
I'd like to know what do you think of my logo? Is it legible? Catches your eye? Conveys the info? Looks good?
>>2517303
>5 CORP ION'S TING TUDIO
Perfect, print 3,000 of them as business cards.
>>2517303
Could be one of the worst logo designs I've ever seen. The scorpion silhouette with the name in a clean font or written with a brush in black and white could work though.
Hello, anons. I just wanna know if there is any of you that takes art as job, life basically depends in creating art or have reached a high level in drawing stuff and also how any event in your life could try to screw up with your passion (if art is it) or how it succeeded to screw up with you. Yeah, I kinda want to know your life history until you become what you are now and how did you do it.
As example, I can talk about how I was trying to be an artist when teenager but having to study and to do more things because of pression from parents killed all my time to draw and study more about drawing. Yeh, I've failed.
all i hear is excuses
>>2516171
I do it for a living and I have screwed up before. When I first started applying for indie gigs 3 years ago I got very bad clients but learned to talk business and look out for red flags. It's all max comfy now.
Honestly if there's anything that gets in your way when it comes to making it, that's your fault.
>>2516171
cute
Could anyone tell me how the artist of this achieved the colors on the pillar? I'm assuming this is digital art, but it looks like oil paint, doesn't it? I tried recreating it in photoshop, but I just don't understand how.
To clarify I'm talking about the texture, sorry English is not my first language and its late :^)
by not being shit?
go practice, read the sticky or something and don't come back until you have real questions
fucking newfriends
fucking if i know dude, i literally dont understand how to render in digital painting and it makes me feel stupid
Fucking tired of being a nobody!!
Sorry for the rant, but i was looking to spit it out.
The real meaning of this is to improve my skills.
I wish to know how to apply good values to my artwork. It seems like i fucked up this shit again...
thanks annons.
>>2515950
any hint on values and stuff? Maybe you can gide me on a better way of colors for my lines? :D
