Quite the challenge, but I think this is it.

wrong
Not sure if this is okay to post on this board but not sure where else to ask, is there anywhere I can find a full list of Yoshitaka Amano art books?
Have you tried posting this in the art book general thread?
You are the fucking reason why I won't help anybody here now. I fucking spoonfed you the name of the artist you were too lazy to reverse search from hi-res of his popular piece and now you are further shitting the board without doing even basic research.
And this thread isn't the only post you made about the artist, I swear I saw you in like 2 more threads acting stupid.
Fuck you good sir.
>>2503221
Sorry this is a different anon, iv'e never been on this board before, just thought I would try asking here, I have a lot of the easily available art books by Amano and was hoping someone here maybe had a list of the harder to find ones.

Dont think you made this
>>2503386
what? why? it is poorly executed. the painting isnt very good. there is no color variance on the skin, it has dozens of areas where the artist just haphazardly slams together different layer blending modes on top of eachother, there is no hint of brushwork, i mean i could go on and on.
i can easily believe someone on /ic/ made this image. its not like someone posted a fucking mullins-tier image and asked for critique.
>>2503387
People don't post their own work like this on /ic/. They don't make a new thread with a link to an image they posted online 2 years ago, asking for critique. Yeah, it's bad, but OP sure as hell isn't the artist.
So I was thinking of getting copic markers since they are refillable anyways what does /ic/ think about them? I plan on grinding fundamentals with regular pencil and paper and practicing color with a small tablet i have. Also I was very curious about acrylics, gouache and other mediums that I have not discovered yet
Copics are great, but very, very expensive. I only use them for black and white drawing. I simply can't afford to get into color work with them.
Lately I've been working mostly in digital anyway.
If you're a beginner/intermediate do not waste money on copics. Go with a cheaper brand like dickblick or ultraset or artist loft. Working digital is different than working IRL, especially if you want to experiment with different mediums. You can practice colour on the tablet but you should do traditional occasionally as to take a break from the colour picker in favor of your own eyes.

Sounds like you don't do much painting... I'd definitely start practicing with some cheap acrylics so you can get a hang of the basics. Gouache dries really quickly, especially acrylic based gouache, so starting with acrylic paint will give you a little more time to work with it.
I have copics. They're ok. Sucks to colour big areas with the markers though, so I just use watercolour and then build up dimension with copics.
Draw thread.
Post your current art/critique others.
I think the other one is dead and I need some help.
You should work on the values. Also fix those eyes, they're wonky.
i got you man don't worry
>>2498305
Post anything comic related, preferably your own work.
Critique is always welcome.
Oh my, this looks really good. Nicely done, OP. Nicely done...
Has anybody here taken Steve Ahn's Storyboard Workshop and can tell me if it's worth it? Or better yet, has any or all of the resources included?

I wanna know too
>>2502771
who?
>>2502771
Thanks for brining it to my attention. I'm going to buy it and not share it with any of you. Think I'm kidding? I'll post the receipt later.

Post your current drawing here and give constructive critique to others!
Please make sure your posted image is clear, downsized to around 1000 pixels wide, rotated to the correct orientation, and that any unused space is cropped.
If you want critique on a drawing from the previous thread, you can delete it there and repost in this one.

Trying to design a character. I'm not a furry, but a friend had an idea based off of a fuck-around sketch of an evil cat, and now I can't stop thinking about it.
>>2495980
-_- i didnt make this thread. i hope someone picked my image ironically. stop trying to rile up draw threads
>>2495985
I actually like it, it's decent. The form seems a little off (even to me) but it gets it's point across.
Though to whoever put the text over it, shoulda put in the lower left corner instead, so that it doesn't cover the art.
Is "muh style" a meme?
Is there a threshold where drawing a certain way, even if it looks like symbol drawing doesn't get called out because the person who drew it got good?
How do you tell the difference?
>>2503022
almost always, people who have a style utilizing 'symbols' that actually look good also know not to symbol draw. they can use their knowledge of how things actually look to make appealing symbols of those things
someone symbol drawing without any actual technique or acquired skill is usually very easy to pick out. it's a cliche, but you really do need to know the rules before you bend or even break them.

Here's your (you)
I've seen the occasional group chat, but would there be any interest in trying to pair people up for some sort of longer/more elaborate feedback process? Groups/threads are good at getting diverse feedback but sometimes it might be nice to be able to discuss things in more depth.
I just finished a four year degree (not art) at a shit uni and didn't have anyone I really wanted to keep contact with. Now I've got four months to kill before I can start an actually useful technical degree, and while I draw every day I don't really have anyone to discuss it with at the moment.
I wouldn't be opposed to talking to other people about their progress/ideas over skype, chat, whatever. I'm not a pro, but it could be a good opportunity to share what I know while getting the point of view of other amateurs or students who might specialize in other things. (So by that, I don't necessarily mean the feedback that already happens here - I'm thinking of a longer cycle than posting one comment and never seeing the person again, or shitposting in a group which essentially amounts to the same thing.) Crits, discussing tips/workflows, preferences, even collabs, heck, I'll take anything.
I get that this isn't /soc/ so feel free to tell me if I'm retarded. Also other people can post here if they're looking for artists to talk to, I guess.
So you wouldn't be opposed to having a friend with the same interests.
>>2502213
I'd like this, I always feel as if my art is never good enough and I really just want a person with a trained eye that I can show my drawings to
add me on skype - teais.delicious
I noticed that the two versions of this artwork has watermark in different locations so I did this.
Can anyone color the black and white section to match the rest? I also included a separate equal piece at bottom in case it is easier to color that way.
$30 ok? i have paypal

There you go, anon. :^)
>>2502206
what an ugly picture. Shit needs to look realistic. garbage
How did you git gud at painting skin tones?
I'm assuming the picture is yours?
Anyway to summarize: people don't often use a wide enough range of tones when painting skin.
Highlights are not always warmer than the low lights, in fact usually highlights are COOLER and more grey than the actual color of the skin
There needs to be a wide variety of saturation as well.
The picture you've provided is very monotone and could use some more contrast in a few places.

skin is reflective, and you can see the blood underneath in some areas. So you get reds around the eyes, nose, and cheeks. You get yellows around the upper mouth and forehead because there's more oils around there. You get blues around the jawline.
Study pictures of faces at different lightings, be conscious of the colors you use in the environment and learn where different parts of the face tend to be closer to a certain hue.

Bring us your roughs, your storyboards, your pencil tests etc. Talk about industry, schools, the hopelessness of it all, how we all gonna make it etc.
If you're gonna post animation that isn't yours give source or state that it isn't yours.
Keep shitposting to a minimum. Don't feed the trolls.
