It's a portmanteau of 'insipid' and 'perspiration', since much of the art posted here is the failed result of sweaty effort.

>Unlike you plebs I lock myself in an empty padded cell for years at a time to draw, that's how disciplined I am ;^)

Let me guess, you heard that classic statement "Waiting for inspiration is a crutch, discipline is what you need to push through" and then, like a complete retard, you took it to mean inspiration is a bad thing.

No, you fucking idiot, the point of that statement is "If you're uninspired don't wait for inspiration, draw anyway." It had nothing to do with intentionally AVOIDING inspiration.

Guys... what do I do with all of this

>>2697645
Upload it. I want all of those references.

>>2697645
You back it up. I have probably around the same number of files, and I would feel pretty sad if a harddrive crash lost them all.

>>2697646
Where's the best site? I'm literally adding to these folders every day though. How do I keep the uploads updated?

>>2697648
Mega probably? Or mediafire.

too bad most of his watercolor usually have jarring opaque strokes that doesn't look good.

>>2727477
?? This is the first time I have heard criticism on his watercolours. How many have you seen? He seemed to experiment with the medium quite a lot so there is a lot of variance in technique between them.

>>2727599
>>2727630
fuck me, it's ridiculous how much he could create depth with only two values.

>>2727653
Basically through hatching the only constraint on your value scale is the white of the paper and the black of your ink (or any other medium you are using).
It's pretty much the equivalent to using broken color when painting. It lets your brain does the mixing.
