/ic/ i'm losing sight in one eye will i still be able to paint when I lose half my vision? Will my depth perception be gone?
Don't be retarded, you don't even need depth perception to draw

Just wiggle your head side-to-side like a hawk.

Donato Giancola is blind in one eye. Some art historians believe that Rembrandt was too, though I'm not sure the validity of it. Charles R Knight was an artist who was legally blind in both eyes, one which was completely blind.
You'll be fine even if it will affect your depth perception a bit.

>Lose perception of 3D space.
>When drawing 2D images.
Just accept it OP, you don't want to draw.
>>2715519
I'm blind in one eye. It doesn't really affect my drawing.
The bad thing about it is that it's harder to tell what speed something is going and it's harder to catch things. And you have to scan your surrounding more when you're driving. Other than that, you can everything you could do when you weren't blind.
Oh yeah, 3d movies suck now and you can't masturbate to those double illusion pics anymore.
I guess we're both going to miss out on experiencing VR fully as well.
That sucks op. Sorry about your situation. Hope your sight gets better, what's your actual condition?

Do you wear an eye patch in real life? Instead of glasses do you get a monocle?
>>2715519
wont it be easier to paint? you go straight from 2d to 2d and dont have to worry about 3d mindtricks

I hope so, but I've never gone blind before. First its just going to get dark is what the doc said I can see a little grey spot moving over my eye
what should my resolution and canvas size be if i want to make art like OP? i also like to sell it as prints..

Literally as big as your computer can handle. If you can run a layered 7000x10000 pixel canvas without lagging then do that.
Lazy eye with no depth perception here. Painting from life gets stupid easy because everything's flat!
As far as getting shitty sight, you'll be fine. Minet had fucking cateracts or some shit when he did his lillies. You can still see, just a little less detail. For abstracts I sometime bomb off the glasses. Makes value simplification so easy
>>2715658
dude, i'm really sorry about your situation. You can absolutely paint and draw with one eye, it's just something you need to get used to, since you're using parts of the brain you normally wouldn't, and not using some parts you otherwise would. You'll still be just as good as you are now though, so don't worry about it.

My old primary school teacher was an amazing artist with the sketches and painting he'd do in class during the downtime and stuff, teaching us some things on the side. Point being he had one eye due to a car crash. Loved tapping his glass one with a pencil to freak people out though.
You'll be fine OP

Munnings went blind in one eye early in life.
You can still do it.
>>2715581
I am blind in one eye too. The three of us can open a studio together.
How is depth perception useful for painting? When you break down the components of what creates depth in a 2D picture, none of them relate to being able to "see" 3D spaces irl. Actually to the contrary, that's the one thing that can't be translated onto paper.
>>2715581
if you only see in one eye, and what VR does is send a correct picture to both of your eyes, doesn't that mean that every game you play from now on is VR? (in theory)

Combined together, we can have 3 eyes in total.
That'll show those two eyed normalfags.
