So what's it take to be able to draw paintings like this

>>3080032
you don't draw paintings for starters

you need balls

you need the balls to believe in a vision

and you need the balls to believe in your motor skills to carry out that vision

and you need to have the balls to be patient with mistakes

you dont have any? youre wasting your time

and you gotta have the balls to refute me when i tell you youre wasting your time

There are no advanced techniques.
For a painter, the techniques don't get much more complex than being able to draw a cylinder very well - because it's not about complex ideas, it's about complex combinations of simple ideas.

Even more important than learning how to draw is learning how to think.
Take it as an advice or just pseudo philosophy, but it definitely works for me.

I never really thought of it that way, I always thought of it as much harder process because the tools used for painting aren't the same as sculpting or drawing.

Thanks for responding anons

For a painting like this, you'd need:
Good drawing skills, for the initial sketch
Good compositional skills, for the layout
Good color skills
Oil painting experience, especially with glazing, texture, and brushwork.
Good skills in lighting.
With talent, you might get to this level, with daily practice, in 10 years, that's how long the master's generally took to reach their prime.

>There are no advanced techniques.
Laughably untrue. The glazing techniques alone in this piece are advanced.

You sound like someone who's never painted in their life - only someone with no actual experience in oils would say the things you are.
