If you are an extremely good artist, is there any advantage at all to working for a company/studio over just being a freelance artist?
What do you think?
I think you should freelance porn and sick shit

People outside the industry will actually think you have a job.

Need some gift ideas for an artistic friend. He loves to draw different types of realistic monsters. He especially loves anything Lovecraftian or Eldritch. I've been thinking about getting him the Dark Souls 2 design works. Any ideas on other gifts?
>>2313334
get him a Fur Affinity account. that way he can fap to as many OC eldritch abominations his little autistic heart desires.
>>2313334
usually when you want to gift something which you want the receiver to fully use and don't know what, money is the best answer
let him decide for himself
>>2313368
disregard the second 'you want', too many of them
how do you live the artistic lifestyle?
how can you find enough time and money to devote to art, while being able to survive and sustain yourself? it seems like I can only get one or the other. I'm on a year break from university, although I live with my parents I'm still mostly supporting myself with a grocery store job. I work so much and am so tired by the time I come home, I have no motivation or time to work on art seriously. I also have very little money to spend on anything; most of it is paying for my art degree. My parents agreed to let me stay with...

I work in a warehouse, loading trucks and putting orders together. My boss knows I'm a painter and fully supports it - I can come in whenever I want, leave when I want, and get paid $12.50 an hour. I was upfront and honest, and since it's a family business they're a lot more flexible than a corporate job. I was busy setting up shows in a different city and didn't show up for work for a month, but when I went back in they didn't give me any shit - just asked how the set up went. It's baffling, really.
I've worked so many terrible, shit...

wew, I typed more than I meant to.
TL;DR: what careers will keep me financially stable while giving me the expendable income and enough freetime to pursue art?
I totally understand your situation. Perhaps a solution might be to try a different kind of art that is suitable to your life's circumstances.
Maybe lots of drawing with abstract simplified forms that can be done very quickly while you are on lunch break or in the bus.
Get a pen and paper, these are one of cheapest mediums, and start inventing your own style. And start selling these figurative sketches online for cheap, to cover your costs.
Alright, /ic/ I need your opinion.
At my art school, there's two classes I want to take:
Figure Sculpture (Fine Arts Department)
Maquette Sculpture (Entertainment Arts Dept.)
Since I can only take so many studio classes, I have to choose between the two. Ultimately, I want to be able to translate my 2d drawings into 3d be it traditional or digital. It's a skill that I think would be very useful in the profession that I'm working towards.
The Figure Sculpture class is basically described as "in strengthens ones eye hand translations as we work directly from models. Besides gesture studies, full body and bust projects during the semester, students are encouraged to explore their own interests in the figure or body. We also discuss how the figure is used in a contemporary context in relationship to its historical significants. But the emphasis is working directly from a model through out the semester."
While the Maquette Sculpture class is basically, "The ability to capture and represent a character in sculpture has many applications in the entertainment and toy industry. Creation of these sculptures are taught from concept drawings, through creation of armatures on suitable presentation bases through to the completion of the final sculptures, that are created in [super sculpey] clay."
Now I have very little experience in sculpting and both instructors said that they would teach it from the ground up. But I'm leaning towards the Figurative sculpture course as it might be beneficial....although I'll probably still learn just as much in the maquette course.
What should I do, /ic/...I'm very torn as these classes might not pop up again for a while after this semester.
The question is really just do you want to do fine art or entertainment art?
The second class sounds appealing to me because I'm interested in character design for animation
>>2313097
Look at the work the people teaching the class have made. Pick the class with the better artist. Some people will reply to this with, "but what if they can't teach", to which I would reply, "there is no such thing". The "good artist but bad teacher" is a myth spread by slackers who need to justify why they did poorly in a class with a "good artist". If the artist is good, and you work hard, you'll learn a lot from the class, end of story.

I'm gonna disagree with this. I'm both a "good artist" and a good teacher (and I am not a 20-something puppy). I occasionally take classes in media I am not expert in to expand my skills. I do sometimes encounter good artists who aren't very good teachers. The students who usually suffer most are beginners as said teachers have difficulty teaching far below their own level. Despite that, I still tend to choose teachers based on their work because my own teaching experience enables me to eek...

Why is the first exercise so hard to do digitally? I have no problem when I do it on paper but digitally it looks shit.
>>2314692
What's so hard about drawing circles?
>>2314699
I mean the bit where you have to draw over the lines. I always chicken scratch on them.
>>2314700
the majority of times you people place the tablet to high and it makes your shoulders lock up causing extra strain, try to draw with the tablet on your lap maybe its that? if not that you are in the "wondering dessert man" stage and its just a matter of millage so you can get used to it.
My friend and me are having an argument.
I see this picture and say that house roof is pictured parallel to the wall. However this house is drawn in 2point perspective (hill and other elements heavily imply so).
Thus, i say, house' roof shouldn't be pictured parallel, it should be pictured *vanishing*, as it is shown on pic2.
So i say this picture has perspective error. My friends disagrees with me.
Can you provide some insight please?
And a pic2
When the vanishing point is located in infinity the walls will be paralel
Sorry if my english is badly writen.
>>2314505
Yeah, but warped hill and warped wall of house imply that VP is not infinite.
Thus roof must share this VP and become warped too.

I wanna learn how to cartoon like this guy. Do I just read Loomis like the sticky or are these other things you'd recommend? Spoonfeed me plox.
>>2312086
start learning anatomy to the point you break everything down into easy to manage shapes and then just stop
>>2312097
Like figure drawing classes? Got any books?
>>2312099
https://archive.org/stream/cu31924014504371
it doesn't really matter which book you use imo it's more about paying attention and memorizing how each part of the body looks and connects together once you have a good knowledge of anatomy you can distort it to achieve any style
>tfw you will never be this good
Why not?
>>2311198
I don't sculpt though.
Also is it just me or is it a little creepy? Like imagine if you were that girl and you saw this picture online where some weeb in his basement made a wall of photos of you then sculpted you out perfectly.
>>2311203
because i am an unmotivated shithead that can't develop a habit to actually fucking work on my craft if my life depended on it. i am a failure.
Post em now.
Rules:
-Do not rate or give critiques unless if the artist specifically requests it.
-If someone is RUDE tell them to not expect much from an hour's work.
-Posting WIP's, studies, "doodles", and random sketches are highly encouraged.
-The art must be fresh. Like you just drew it in the past hour.
Hey Mike! Looks kinda stiff but doesn't matter, you did it quickly after all!
Best of luck.
Ps. Please make the pol drawthreads soon please. I need to see you on it.
Lots of love.

What is the secret to painting landscapes?
(I watched bob ross) grass, light, perspective, construction, trees.
Are there any guides to landscape painting?
>>2313816
You just have to feel it.
>>2313816
bob ross paints kitch landscapes. look at the hudson river school, rackstraw downes, shishkin, etc.
practice painting from life, remember atmospheric perspective, get to work
>>2313831
What is the secret to painting grass? It always ends up unnatural if I try to paint it. Not even drawing and shading each individual blade of grass makes sense, it all looks wonky.
