post paintings and share names of artists who you think have really great sense of image design, shape. Brush calligraphy and the like.
Bonus points for paintings that are excellent that depict normal situations and aren't just epics (though if you want to drop some epics in this thread feel free)
>>1860764
Are you the same guy who had that great shape design thread a few months ago? I contributed to it a lot but accidentally let it die I think. Well we've had a couple threads like that now. Lemme look through my computer and post nice images that I haven't posted before.

I'll be off dumping sporadically soon too, I'm procrastinating sunday night with stuff due tommorow mornin' haha.
>>1860777
Whos the artist? Or can you link to the auction?
>>1860779
>>1860780
Hm, not sure the artist sorry. I mostly saved stuff that was by Schmid and Situ from the auction, but there are random oens from artists I don't know. Some have their signatures on them some don't. The auction was called Jackson Hole Auction, nto sure if the images are still online or not.
>>1860783
>>1860784
Not even sure if this is the stuff you want posted lol, I'll look for different things

I collect Toilet paper studies from famous artists, there's a really dramatic one by mullins where it's folded out like a cape top view but I'm not going through my mullins folder to find it, else I'll just be stuck admiring his stuff for the next week
>>1860785
Simple easy solutions to problems that might have taken weeks to figure out. Excellent massing of shapes is a favorite of mine. Especially if it's only evident in the grey scale
>>1860784
This one feels weird. The faces have obviously been photo referenced - too high density of detail compared to the rest of the piece? Picking apart why something doesn't work for you is just a good exercise as picking apart things that really make ur dig hard
>>1860789
Francis Vallejo

Eh, I lik that one. And k I think I know what you want. I posted most of my sexy shapes folder in the last thread so the stuff I post now might not fit that super well.

Interesting, is it an asteroid mission?
>>1860807
>>1860809
>>1860808
It was part of Mark's break-in portfolio after he got out of school. I don't think there was a story behind it, he just said he was creating strong images to get him jobs. But it does seem to be some sort of asteroid mission.
>>1860812

No idea of the name, but it's Salvador Dali.
>>1861314
That's wild, man. I've never seen this stuff before. I just looked him up. Apparently he provided the some of the art for Disney's rendition of Sleeping Beauty. When I first saw the picture you have here, I recognized the style, just couldn't place it.

>>1861377

dude that perspective is wonky wonk that artist should read How to Draw by Scott Robertson.
>>1861375
ahahaha he uses cargo! poor guy. big mistake. also explains why his site is completely broken and bugged right now.
if any of you are considering getting a folio site with a paid custom domain, do yourself a big favour and use squarespace. cargo is pretty shit.
I'll post up a bit more now I guess. Forget the artist on this one sorry.

Nope, sorry. I'm the same guy who posted the Jaime thread, I'm from Canada actually.

Some of the art?
Earle was the driving force for that, he convinced walt to change the look of the entire movie.
Hes a fantastic artist. Theres lots of the early sleeping beauty concept art in the french art book, its something like 200usd, its lovely.
>>1863584
I love Earle so much
Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAl9P4T12Rs
So simple a translation, if I hung out with Earle personally I'd probably end up doing super graphic work like that too, imagine being able to actually get critiques from such a pictorial design master.
>>1863591
Found this as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cByvH0FYHZ0
Haven't watched it but it's Earle so can't be bad
>>1863584
Well, good for him, I can't imagine that movie would be as good as it was without his vision. He's a master, no doubt.
>>1863595

Damn. The bicycle story is very motivating in a way, I'd do it if I wasn't so timid about leaving the house
>>1860782
Wow, that's amazingly uncomfortable to look at.
Don't have time to do more dumps for now, but here is a bump to keep this alive.
This is actually a crop of a larger painting I believe.
bump because I'm saving all these
>>1861562
isn't this a Craig Mullins painting?
Bumping because I want this thread to live.

Where is that beauty located in the world, I need to see it in person
>>1868699
Ooh Jouve! You're the only other person I've seen to post him. Did you learn about him when I posted him on /ic/ in the past?
And uh, I think the Gaston La Touche I posted is in Chicago? I forget, but I know I saved some images from a guy who photographed stuff there iirc.
my favorite painting ever
>>1868706
meh. i bet it looks alot better in life though.
Jacek Malczewski's self portrait, seen this in person, and was really amazed by the lighting
>>1868621
what if you copied something insane like this and spent an assload of hours on it do you think it would be beneficial to your development?
>>1868787
definitely not. however copying it in a very analytical way where you simplify every shape and reduce it into a primitive 3d object with the correct hue/value/temperature applied to every plane and correct edge sharpness connecting planes ontop of that... then yes.
but that would be incredibly fucking hard with this particular image. incredibly fucking hard.
>>1860784
giant kids
>>1868733
I love it.
>>1868787
Yes it probably would. Depends what you are trying to learn and what your goals are though. Depending on that it may be a good exercise, or may be rather inefficient, but either way I can guarantee you will learn something.

Mispelled his name here lol, there's no c in it. Dunno how this was made, the caption on it said it is oils and photos. In any case looks fucking awesomemeeeeememe

Gonna stop for now, will probably add more later
>>1861582
This one is amazing
>>1869011
Yeah I was blown away when I first saw it only to be disappointed when I found out all he really painted were ducks lol
>>1869014
well, at least he reached a good level at duck-painting.
Thank you for all the posts. Those threads are cool, I always discover new things
>>1869016
>>1869016
Cheers, glad someone else appreciates these paintings. Sometimes I feel as though no matter how good I get it will all be for nothing. All these old masters are forgotten and obscure and have no lasting impact. And I'm sure for every one that I post there are 100 more that I've never heard of.

Hehe nice! I got to see a large exhibit of Dore's work recently, and it was stunning how versatile he was and how prolific. Really awesome artist.

>>1871949
This is a brilliant composition, love how it takes from the asian aesthetic of blossoms on a branch
