Posting in case anyone else missed it.
He talks about practice, sketching in pen, shit like that. Also does a live drawing at the end.
>>2844440
It's worthless, he does a demo of a subject he sucks at. Everyone has already seen it on ic and if not, they can easily google ruan jia sketchbook. Literally first result. Delete this thread.
>>2844440
>"Everything is so bad"
Ruan Jia please
I'm impressed by his linework really, it captures all those subtle bumps. His hand is super steady and his eyes must be amazing for detail. That pencil work done on that page is just wow, didn't realize that could be possible with just a small sketch.
Didn't know Ruan Jia could speak English, so that was interesting to see.
>>2844456
I haven't seen it faggot and I didn't even know he did these.
>>2844456
Why so hostile m8?
I'm on ic regularly and I hadn't seen it. It's interesting to see the rough traditional work of someone who's known for their highly rendered digital paintings.
>>2844440
>its shit if the linework isnt super clean and follows the silhouette perfectly
/ic/ exposed again
>>2844501
Hello newfag, I was the 4th poster in this thread if you care to look at the bottom right
>>2844529
It's not about preference, there are heaps of kjg sketches and sketching videos and this is the only Ruan Jia one afaik.
Do you want a screenshot with (You)'s? You know that shit can be edited in a couple of seconds?
>>2844494
No one is being hostile
Kill yourself cuck
>>2844440
I can draw better than this guy, lmao.
>>2845142
i hope that's bait.
>>2845143
How's that bait. Clearly, i'm better at sketching.
>>2845142

>this girls orgasming while he speaks
>tfw you thought he would draw one of them instead he draws a cameraman
is he autistic?
>>2845142
keep telling yourself that illya
>>2844440
anyone else expected him to go full proko at the end?
>>2845144
nah
>>2845148
I think the girl is Karla Ortiz. Her over the top nonstop expressiveness is probably terrifying to your average emotionless soulless chinaman
>>2845143
kek keep dreaming, maybe some day.
>>2845142
Wew lad
>>2845174
nah, he is definitely better than you at sketching.
>>2845174
That looks dope. Good shit man.
>>2845174
not to be mean, but because these are just fucking generic hands? his sketches are placeholders for work that's incredible and far above your potential. being good at sketches means nothing
>>2845200
>a-are you fucking retarded?
a-a-are y-you s-senpai??? x3
what does being good at sketches accomplish? they're meant to be learned from to create finished pieces.
your sketchbook isn't going to hang in a museum, no one besides other artists are interested in your sketches.
>>2845174
this is straight awful
You idiots sure are a vitriolic bunch who would probably spit on the sketchbooks of old masters as well
Nobody cares how sloppy your sketches are, especially if you're not a linework artist or inker
>>2845174
the lines may be chicken scratch tier, but the knowledge of anatomy and perspective is there.
aka: better than 99% of /ic/ and better than you
>>2844440
>the way he gets flustered when the nude sketches appear
>>2845142
>>2845174
His linework shows a great deal of sensitivity. Your linework is coarse and chicken scratch tier. You are atleast 5 years of intense work away from being close to his sketching abilities. You're completely delusional my friend
>>2845200
>>2845216
I really hate that forced stuttering people use to seem smarter than anybody else.
Also there are people out there who sketch like this to loosen up their hand and to put down forms and lines quickly. They're just sketches.
>>2845216
Being good at sketching is a byproduct of gettin gud, it's not a goal in itself.
>>2845240
/ic/ latches onto anything they can to take down people who are notable more skilled than they are. It's just how the whole board is.
>>2844440
He does a lot of contour drawing. I thought /ic/ thought it was a meme and stupid though, man I don't understand you guys.
>>2845156
She also giggles and gasps in the other sketchbook videos constantly. Maybe it's meant to make the artist feel more at ease and feel like they're being cool and funny, or maybe she's just tee-hee ing for some attention.
Ryan had the right idea with drawing the cameraman, she probably started posing and fluttering her eyelashes as soon as he reached for the pen
>>2845282
Contour drawing is totally fine, especially for sketching.
>>2844456

>>2845269
Honestly I wasn't too impressed by the sketch but on the internet only absolutes exist.
/ic/ seems to be on the same mindset as Tumblr sjws. Absolute worship until you (inevitably) show the tiniest imperfection then they just jump at your throat like rabid dogs.
>>2845142
>>2845174
Just out of curiosity, can I see some of your finished shit?
>>2847315
My finished work
----
You other fucks can hate all you want but i'm pretty sure i'm better than 95% of /ic/
>>2847468
63%; that's the best I can do.
>>2847472
85% of /ic/ is beginner level scrubs 10% are intermediate and maybe 5% are pros.
How about you stop talking shit and post your work buddy. I'm almost certain that i'm better than you.
>>2847468
An ego that inflated is gonna get you nowhere
>>2847587
Nowhere? It got me further than the majority of /ic/. Where has your ego got you?
>>2847692
I just checked that thread. Pretty sure i'm better than every artwork in that thread, currently. Which ones do you think are better than mine ?
>>2847720
I'm better than all you faggots on this board. Post work or gtfo
>>2847725
I'm not saying i'm great, but i'm definitely good. Are you guys jealous or something? Please post your stick figure senpai
>>2847725
I wouldn't say he's clearly better than everything in the sketchbook thread, but
>Most of the work in the sketchbook thread beats yours out the water as well.
Come on man, that is obviously not true. He never even said he was that great, just better than 95% of /ic/ which really isn't saying all that much.
>>2847723
whatsup someone say my name?
>>2847752
hey chunbum
>>2847752
Are you okay Brian
>>2847771
Not the guy you're arguing with, but half of those are clearly worse. The other half are pretty comparable. I think you're trying way too hard to win your internet fight.
>>2847799
>comparable
Have you seen the guy in this thread?
>>2847720
I'm one from the sketchbook thread. I work in animation at a pretty junior level. This arguement gives me the idea that you guys havent got the slightest clue what being an artist is about... Being better means shit if your ego is that big. Sharing knowledge, seeing potential, raising the bar of the artform. Just realising there is so much more to achieve with a group effort. Even the old masters had many apprentices. Respect each others work and level. Even if youre better gives you any bragging rights. It just shows your insecurity. Help each other out with some knowledge instead.
>>2848090
I'm new to this part of the internet, but i'll just assume i've stumbled accross the most godlike artists on earth... In case you were serious. The expressiveness and pure certainty this man explores his subject on paper is far more superior than most people dream to achieve. Talking down someone at this level is just plain ignorant or trolling. I hope the latter for your sake...
