Did this ages ago, been meaning to paint another
>>3048917
are you dying?
>>3048952
we're all dying anon
>>3048917
Looks like your eyes are trying to leave their sockets while your nose is fighting to make its way across your face towards your left ear. Such a powerful message. Keep up the amazing work man!
>>3048967
post your work
>>3048968
>>3048973
Hold on, can I just ask how you got started with drawing the human figure, very much the head because you seem to be very good at that
What was the first thing you did
>>3048917
>when the only decent part of your painting is the top of the hair
>>3048973
>muh style
thats cute
can you make any actual art though anon?
>>3048976
Brian has a good hairline
I have a mini self-portrait but it's not any good
>>3048917
NOICE.
>>3048973
fuck off using Wesleys shit.
>>3048999
>>3049004
Oh shit it's just a random talented Anon! How can I be so blind
>>3048999
Gonna be a real bummer when I'm right and all you fuckers are left with your cutesy illustrations
>>3049007
Keep on dreaming brah
>>3049200
>>3049202
I like this one best even if the eye is fucked.
>>3049202
This one's great. The others need work, maybe try different lighting? Or a different palette?
>>3049203
it's looks like a mugshot pal
do you murder someone¿
>>3049219
This isn't the right place to discuss that.
>>3049209
>>3049213
Aye, the second one is from a photo which is why it's technically the best. The other two are from life and the lighting in my room is terrible so half the time i feel like I'm working blind on the colours.
I'll try to get better lighting. Or maybe I'll start to use photos for reference.
>>3049200
would you mind telling us your palette so we can make suggestions on what to keep and get rid of?
>>3049235
Tbh, this one is literally nothing but a burnt umber underpainting with a light flesh tone (alizarin, ochre, titanium white) glazed over.
Technically it's still in the early stages but for some reason i got attached to it and decided to leave it.
>>3048917
are you ever going to try to properly paint and improve your skills, or just continue to be a wonky picasso wannabe
>>3049007
>art is about being right
wrong.
hello, is me.
>>3049254
what are you batman or some shit
>>3049249
You're right. It's about being wrong.
>>3048981
you suck brian. you suck so much its not even funny anymore.
>>3049279
why are you even arguing with me?
>>3049256
i was going for a count Dracula kinda thing.
>>3049268
still wrong.
>>3049294
Art used to be about thinking you're right, now it's about knowing you're wrong. Either way, it's about being right. So please, please, fuck off.
>>3049299
Art is about Dunning Kruger.
>>3048917
i do too many self portraits honestly. i love drawing faces/bodies from life but no one to sit for me. i reeally need to find some life drawing classes.

shit this is actually pretty good
whoops.
>>3049287
im not arguing with you. you just lack so much self awareness that i feel sorry for you. the fact that you cant physically see how bad you are at art makes me sad.
>>3049364
>brian once again day dreaming that 13 year old girls are talking to him.
It's a huge pain doing this from life
>>3049393
are you in art school?
>>3049398
>obvious art school project is obvious
>>3049393
that's pretty damn neato

Oh shit Eggsbenedict Cabbagepatch visits /ic/
>>3048950
>b-brother?
thats the only self portrait i ever did
it captures my essence of apathetic fagginess
>>3049322
i go to untutored life drawin classes, pretty dope. 6 bucks, 2hrs. some talent there but also a lot of shitters, which is great because it's all pretty laid back. i got bad social anxiety and i hate feeling inadequate about the shit i draw, but the environment there is really nice, no-pressure. you can ask the child prodigy autists for advice or glance at the catastrophy developing on the canvas of some pleb if you're feeling down.
just google it or check normobook for groups. it's become such a nice, relaxing/rewarding weekly thing for me, i really recommend it.
if you're from VIE/AUT i can tell you where it's at but i guess chances are pretty slim you live anywhere near here

I left the mustache to fuck around with my family and it worked.
ok
>no one is fat
Soooo 4chan it's a place where nobody it's fat or deformed. Right.
>>3049342
The emotions are both ironic and a little dramatic, probably because of the neck.
>>3049772
>self portrait thread drawings are representative images of whole board site which includes wild range of topics
>being fat does not correlate with not having artistic merit
>>3049772
just because you're a fatty doesn't mean most of the rest of the world is
>>3049006
>>3049783
You seem upset.
>>3049520
Uh... No?
>>3049332
A-are you single...?
>>3048981
I hate the anime faggots all over this board.
I bet actual anime artists know more about art than the retards on here though...
So when I say I hate anime drawing faggots I'm not talking about the real illustrators.
I am talking about the kids that never grew out of drawing shitty cartoon characters.
>>3049875
Sorry to disappoint but i'm not that cute irl
>>3048917

Post your work
>>3049967
Did I hurt your feelings
GIT GUD BITCH
>>3049961
Gee whiz; this board is for constructive criticism, man. I appreciate the bluntness, but I can't make sense of the "Fuck off back to Tumblr" because I've never been. Post your work so I know what kind of art elite to bow down to
>>3048973
The forehead is tilted backwards because of how you have drawn the upper left hairline and shadow. The top of the head is smoewhat low (just a bit) but forehead issue is more apparent.
>>3049967

>>3049914
>tripfag
Oh, nevermind.
git on my level brian.
I have a disorder where I can't remember faces. Even if I grew up with the perosn or were friends with them for a long time.
For fuck's sake, I can't even remember my own face. Whenever I look in a mirror It looks like I'm staring at a stranger.
>>3050074
not a real thing
>>3050086
Prosopagnosia is very much a real thing anon. Usually as a result of brain damage, although sometimes it occurs developmentally.
>>3050074
shouldn't stop you from making portraits... you literally just look back and forth. it doesn't matter if you remember what they look like. it's not like you can't see colors, lines, and values. also though: not a real thing.
>white men with overgrown facial hair
who could've guessed?
>>3050104
Wow. You got us. He's right guys shut down 4chan
>>3050104
I never leave the house why should I shave?
>>3049980
why do you give bait attention like that? are you 14? ignore it and move on
>>3048917
drawing yourself is vain and shallow
>>3050356
I will put my vein somewhere shallow.
haven't done one of these in a while
I went to this thread out of curiosity.
And yeah - its the same shit all over.
>durr hurr fag :(
>oh...cute.:) ur single? :")

>oh nice. show boobs
Man weebs are pathetic.
>>3050925

What the hell is this brushwork. Imagine how much better it would look if you worked big-to-small and knew how to block in correctly.

Hey Jason. By the dubs, what do you use for highlights? Is it just a white colored pencil?
>>3049993
Why did you rate your own work?
>>3052869
Im not that small-mouth bearded cunt but I can tell you for best results for highlights on toned paper use a white conte pencil.
>>3049961
Reply walls are annoying, really
Quick little thing from imagination.
Did this one a while ago
>>3053246
Straight on view yet you see too much of the underside of the nose which is wrong. Also the eyes are too big, shaped wrong along with being proportionally incorrect.
>>3048917
>>3054515
Actually the photo I was working from you could see a lot of the underplane on the nose. Plus I was wearing makeup around my eyes so that's why they look so big. Nice try tho
Didn't found mine, but my father look like me.
Started this last night. It's digital, and I tried doing a kind of digital Grisaille to start, and used color blending modes in photoshop to simulate painting over a Grisaille with transparent hues. I'm not sure it turned out how I expected.
>>3054614
those orange lines connecting the shadow to the light are really distracting.
>>3050962
I like the colors. Use an airbrush to soften those brushstrokes, and those eyelashes are wack as fuck.
I started a few months ago
>>3054922
youre too focused on symmetry
>>3054922
Get your shit together and take a pic from a normal fuckin angle man, goddamn.
>>3054930
This is some shitty advice symmetry is one of the only beauty marks we are inherently aware of.
>>3054930
What does this even mean? Is he so focused on symmetry that its hurting his drawing?
Just stop giving advice.
>>3054922
Please be my boyfriend. D:
>>3054961
None's face is perfectly symmetrical, In fact, too much symmetry can drop a face into the uncanny valley
>>3054981
Straight up bullshit.
>>3054993
Justin bieber will transition to female in his 40-50s. you heard it here first.
>>3050962
hi dayna
>>3054961
not when you make both sides of the nose so symmetrical and symbol drawn it looks like a penis, anon
>>3054981
I don't particularly find that to be true. You very rarely actually look at someone's face dead center.
just did this
>>3054993
the one on the right is actually better than the one in the center
>all the ugly people get no replies
Kek
>>3055134
You look like the Beginner Thread fucked chromatic aberration
>>3055086
Tighten up the brushwork, and your ears look really low, I know its a bottom-up viewing angle, but it still looks a bit far down in my opinion.
>>3054922
>thinking people give a shit about your chahrcoal brand
Man, way to fag it up.
>>3055136
>le chromatic abberation maymay XXDDd
>>3055086
this ones not bad brian, but why the pedo-stach?
your brush work is getting better in this one, feels as if you have changed your main brush for this?
i would recommend a more dark emerald green in the background.
>>3048981
Sorry but his/her work is so much better than yours. It's on a different level entirely.
>>3048981
>Go to a self portrait thread
>shit talk a cute sketchbook drawing
>Post art therapy-tier trash
>It's a landscape
>>3055138
>>3055145
couldn't get to your background crit but i smoothed out the paint. not sure i can change the ear, gonna just leave it as it is
also mustaches are fun, and beards make me feel like a hobo. also my stubble grows in fast and mustache and stubble always looks good
>>3055147
no its not
>>3055167
i agree, it's not.
>>3055175
So you agree mines better. Good. I'm glad we both know how English works it made this conversation a lot easier
>>3054538
Do you have a tumblr? Love this
>>3055207
look mom, a beta

It's a whole lot more interesting.

That's not to say it's good.
>>3055246
... right...
>>3055242
I hope you didn't draw this
Bam!
>>3055246
LOOOOOOLLLL XDXDXD IM LITERALLY CRYING YOU FUNNY BOI
>>3055232
>a landscape that looks like it was painted by a 9th grader
>more interesting than anything, ever
>>3055248
No, but it's better because of that.
>>3055305
I can understand that it looks like a shitty painting, but it has a depth and presence that makes it interesting enough to beat that generic tumblr faiy.
>>3055318
>depth
It has the depth of a piss puddle. It looks as flat as it is, there's no sense of atmospheric perspective whatsoever.
>presence
got any more meaningless buzzwords you wanna throw in?
>Using "tumblr" as an insult
Can this meme end? There are countless artists that operate out of tumblr who are more skilled than 95% of this boards user-base.
>>3055330
I don't have to justify it, it's just my opinion. It's subjective, why are you mad tho?
It's okay, I guess.
I'm bad at drawing, sorry.
>>3055347
Don't draw with chicken scratches. Draw from the shoulder and elbow.
>>3055350
damn, this is some salt ore right here.
go back to tumblr if you can't take even a tiny amount of sass.
>>3055355
How does it feel know George W paints better than you?
>>3055275
When I was like 15 you fucking faggot
>>3054930
Not sure what you mean, I do feel like I stick a little too much to proportions when trying imagination stuff though.
>>3054979
Blog?
>>3055080
I kinda see what you mean now by too symmetrical, here is my actual nose for comparison. Thanks anon, I'm not too good at noses or lips yet.
>>3055389
How old are you now? If you're not underage B& then why are you posting something that is 4 years old at the very least.
>>3055365
I didn't paint the picture.
>>3055365
He's getting better.
>>3055444
He might be one of the most artistically talented presidents we've ever had. I actually dig his stuff, i think if he keeps it up he'll have a pretty big museum dedicated to his work.
>>3055469
i mean there's not many to choose from. Of the few that did paint, Ulysses S Grant was the best, and Eisenhower made some comfy little paintings.
I think adolf hitler and winston churchill we're pretty decent artists, churchill probably a little more interesting but hitler had some budding observational skills.
>>3055402
You want some new shit bitch
>>3055486
lol chill bro, why are you so hyper?

>>3054720
just take the criticism
I sketched this like a few years ago, I never really finished it.
>>3055347
are u justin roiland
>>3055657
gendbent portraits sounds like a fun spin on it. normally don't do self portraits but it's worth a try later.
doubt I'll look much different though
>>3055977
Give me a good criticism then
did a new one
>>3056297
das a nice background my dude.
>>3056305
I think this belonged in museum, dude. Not cool ripping off modern artists.
>>3056307 what do you mean its me
>>3056308
Sorry, I guess you should earn a million dollars then
>>3056305
what is with the penis brush kek
>>3056305
dope dick brush bruv
>>3056297
Wooah that's so much better. Good shit.
>>3050633
doesnt look like schiele in any way
>>3056026
It's fun, I didn't do it with too much depth but having to decide which features to accentuate and which to push back whilst maintaining likeness keeps things interesting
>>3056297
looks great, keep doing that
I am a few days at this. Yeah.
>>3054614

very very nice got an IG?
>>3055177
You're going after someone who's actually defending you, dumbass.
b-be gentle, senpai
>>3057181
Pretty good, but can I ask why you wanted some of the details to look flat and adding depth to other areas?
>>3051565
I did this and even though I'm pretty happy with the construction and rendering, people are reacting strange when I show it to them. Fuck portraits, I'm going back to trees.
>>3057266
Do you mean just people you show it to in person?
If so, don't be discouraged. Some people just don't know what to say. All they see is a drawing, they don't notice the things you and other artists notice.
>>3057204
I had listened to a lecture by Steve Huston where he talked about simplification to make more detailed areas draw more attention, not telling the whole story and letting the viewer "fill in the gaps." I guess that kind of leaked in while I was working
>>3057328
yeah, people in person. Also close relatives, so I know their reaction is strange. I think it's because faces are so meaningful to the human brain, that they react to the look or resemblance of the face more than to the technical/artistic aspect of the drawing, which is kind of what you're saying. I'm going back to trees, anyway. thanks, anon.

oh hey
need to practrice my protraits
Here's a couple. First one's a ~1h. study. Other one's something I did to learn some texturing tricks without having to use photos...
>>3048981
garbage.lol not even a ruse. im serious. not good.
>>3059507
Are you blind? Even though I think he needs some work getting his portrait stuff together you gotta admit his "style" is really nice. A bunch of people would be willing to buy stuff like this. I know I would. My GF just walked into the room when I had this image open and she was like "Whoa! That looks really nice". That's not much but it's something.
>>3048981
Learn to take a crit. If you don't like it don't say anything. If there's something useful take it, say thanks and forget about it. Distance yourself from your work and you'll git good/better.
>>3056104
You have almost no 3d rendering or use of perspective. Even when trying to recreate the photo and show the underside of your nose, it still falls flat because nothing is really rendered. None of your facial features show any sign depth at all and it looks incredibly simplistic. The best thing about this picture is the hand and that is saying a lot.
>>3048917

>>3059506
That is some good shit, nice work
>>3055086
Hey Bob, How's your burgers?
>>3055246
top kek
I like the eyes and nose, they're quite thick dollops of paint and I'm trying to achieve a technique of flicking the paint on with the brush to describe the features. From an Ensor portrait but also used by many famous artists.
I had another attempt at launching myself and yet again it crashes around my feet. And that seems to be that.
Scrapped off the lips and chin and cleaned it up to draw it out again.
>>3049209
That's the painting's greatest quality. Do it in mauve, gods sake.
Do y'all use photos or just the mirror as reference for self portraits?
>>3053246

Shitty photo of a shitty painting painted in shitty lighting in my shitty neet basement. Done with the zorn palette tho which was fun and interesting.

no.

i want to make one, but im somewhat disgusted by my face. why is that?
>>3060117
what do you usually paint? portraits mostly?
>>3055086
so you're a black now? lmso
>>3060117
looks really good, not digital is it?
>>3059506
You're too good for us.
>>3059506
These are amazing. Great work.
>>3060427
I don't usually paint, this is my second attempt at an oil portrait. I do a fair bit of digital portraiture tho. Oil is way fucking harder though and it's frustrating.
