Who is your favorite surrealist artist or painting
Pic rltd.
It's Bosch.
>>3082178
I don't know many, though I also like Bosch and Dali to some extent too.
>>3082178
kinda insulting calling bosch a surrealist but w/e
>>3082178
Yves Tanguy to me embodies what surrealism is all about.
I fucking love tramps post art of your trap ocs.

If I successfully read this will it unlock my right brain?
Do you need to be top best in the world to make a living off art or do you need to hit a niche and do it well (anime, furries, cute things)?
>>3086721
>not trying to be the best in a niche
>>3086721
I don't know where these ideas come from. The answer is no. I don't think you even need to be in the 75th percentile to have an art related career. You do need to have social skills and depending on the kind of work probably some entrepreneurial finesse. You could have all those things and your work still might not resonate with people so a niche helps, but focusing on impressing people will take the soul out of your work.
Stop focusing on the things that seem unattainable. "I need to be the best or there's no point" just sounds like an excuse to not try.
>Do you need to be top best in the world to make a living off art
No.
>or do you need to hit a niche
Yes.
>and do it well
No.
>artist you commissioned asks if you want any changes before lines and color
>artist doesn't listen to any of the changes you asked for and just does whatever he/she wants
Why the fuck would they ask you for changes then?
This happens WAY too often.
I don't know why but this made me laugh. What kind of artist ask if the client what the changes and that doesn't even listen at all what was the point of asking in the first place?
Im going to submit work for art school next month and i need help getting good within a next few months, what should i do?

I was watching The Room and I recognized the paintings they hung on the wall, the left and right paintings are from Morandi, but I can't recognize the middle one, can some one help me out? does this mean Tommy Wiseau is actually an intellectual with exquisite taste?

I guess the lesson is, you can't decide to practice every day if you haven't been cornered by life.
not your personal blog
It sounds like you wanted to try and make a living do some sort of artwork, and you have been since 2012.
What steps have you taken towards selling your creative services for money? I see it all too often where people expect to "make it" (vague term), and try and improve their skills, yet never take any actual steps towards starting an illustration business.

I'm in the "not good enough" phase
I'm really frustrated by light. I mean, I have some understanding about how the light works, I'm trying to cast it right, but still, it looks fake/unnatural. So, I beg for your help, to point out what my flaws are, and how to deal with them.
I've watched Sycra's tutorials about the light, and also read about how light calculated by shaders (Phong shading) it helped, but still, I feel like I miss something important.
>>3086445
Read How to Render by Scott Robertson. The only part it doesn't cover is color but it has everything about light and form.
To understand light you need to have good drawing fundamentals though, if you're planning to use a constructive method.
>>3086445
it's really not that bad, just keep refining
you could try doing more still lifes
or doing a 3d render of one of your drawings to see how the lighting differs (added bonus is learning how to do 3d)
i have an excellent book on the subject called 'light for the artist' by ted seth jacobs, i don't know if it's available but it's worth getting if it's on amazon or something, there are probably other equally good books too
>>3086452
any way I can get a free pdf of this
How do I make perfect lines and filled out shapes in photoshop? Is it even possible? Is there a trick?
Pencil tool. Lasso tool. Turn off anti-aliasing for everything.

looks like pixel brush and using the eraser to make clean line-art

What's wrong?
A piece I did for a local art show. The Simpsons, on of my favorite episodes. El viaje misterioso de nuestro jomer. Any Simpsons fans here? Ig @durvdretti
>>3086218
I like the piece
I threw this together in roughly 2 hours and wanted some critiques or just opinions. Thanks <3
>>3086110
what is the point in posting something that u used a reference without the reference and asking critique? Are you pround about it and wanna to hear some compliments or something? And dont do your own post to this, post on drawing thread WITH THE REFERENCE.
>>3086110
Not sure if it's an improvement, just figured I'd post maybe it might help.
