What kind of wood is best for painting? What did they use for icons?I dont mind wood with cracks and lines etc.
Oak, lime. Nothing tarry or oily, for sure.
>>2498868
oak is best... avoid resinous wood like pine.. commercially available you can get birch panels for not too much, it is fine to start with these. What medium will you paint in?
Masonite. It doesn't bend over time

LOOMIS VS VILPPU
Vilpuu doesn't do babby cartoon shit, he's about REAL anatomy
Loomis would be better matched against Walt Disney
Vilpuu is better against Bridgman
DIGITAL VS TRADITIONAL
BLACKS VS WHITES
Who else here fountain pen master race?
Noodler's Ahab user reporting in. Namiki Falcon is coming this Monday. I'm fucking pumped.
>>2498073
Isn't this the third thread you've made? What the hell do you want to hear?
I have an Ahab too, once I tweaked the feed it worked great, but I haven't used it in a couple years. Just about the only FP I use with any regularity is a Pilot Penmanship because it's an easy way to lay down carbon ink without getting out my Rapidograph (or meditating for 6 hours to achieve the mental clarity required to use a brush pen).
I used to be more gung-ho about fountain pens, but most of the time a Pilot Precise does the job just fine and if someone asks to borrow it they'll know how to use it without fucking up the nib.
>>2498261
How did you tweak the feed? I got an MB meisterstruk as a gift and I sometimes have to go over a line multiple times to get nice flow (sometimes causing me to scar the paper).

Is this website still active enough to build a fanbase? I only have a small follower base there and none on Tumblr. I have no idea how to get followers to migrate to your Tumblr since sharing your account link doesn't seem to work.
It's dead. If you want to build a fan base on tumblr, draw fanart for popular shows etc. Pander, pander, pander.
Seems... unlively. Like there's still a lot of art that gets posted there, but if you're not already established, then nobody cares.
>>2494000
I don't know, i think you can still build something small, but you need to be regular in your work. I don't even know how to use twitter, how the fuck works? you put your works and done?
Critique this album cover I'm working on for an industial producer/vocalist.
It's my first attempt at this kind of gig so I need some alternative perspectives.
>>2498403
honestly its actually pretty good for an industrial cover.
maybe take some inspiration from the Mass Effect vision cutscenes (pic related)
>>2498416
That's a great idea for the other cover I'm working on, and I wanna give them a variety to choose from.
The chaos in an artificial environment on mass effect would Def be a suitable vibe.
>>2498403
Is this a cheesy 90s industrial album because that's what it looks like. Go for something more modern. Less is more and there's way too much stuff going on here. Too many effects and too blurry.
Take a look at this. A wonderful industrial album that keeps to an eerie weird theme but in a tasteful manner.
did van gogh chop his ear of because he was so shit at painting them?
>>2492590
Christ I love that painting
don't be cruel, van gogh.... he had a hard life.
post your work OP : ^ )
thoughts on graffiti. not the shit 12 year olds kids do im talking planned out walls and such, i always wondered what other people thought about THIS kind of graffiti, the "artistic side"
Used to do a fair bit of it before getting caught,
viewed graffiti as a great creative exercise for my other illustrations, as its drawing the same thing over and over again... but different.
very much enjoyed the aspects of getting together with a team to collaborate on a wall with different ideas.
>>2485954
i admire people that can do it well, and it's a pretty amazing thing to study if you want to improve your eye for making appealing shapes , since it's the 1 thing carrying the piece. insanely underrated
>>2485954
Bro I've made quite a bit of money doing murals and graffiti work. It's cool it's appealing and pretty easy to learn if you've been drawing a while. I switched over to airbrush... But I just bought 4 cans last night and i kinda wanna start in again. Super quick jobs.

http://claremontindependent.com/student-senator-picture-of-gun-is-a-threat-to-black-mental-and-emotional-health/
“It’s truly in bad taste to have a large depiction of a gun in a dorm space—especially when students of color also reside there... Now let’s imagine there were countless videos of white teenagers, white teenagers that look like you, or your brother or your sister, get shot to death by police officers. Imagine scrolling down Facebook everyday and seeing a new video of the same thing, over and over again. Really put yourself in that headspace. Then ask yourself whether it’s the brightest idea to have white teenagers, who have a very real fear of getting shot, see a large gun every time they want to get food from the dinning [sic] hall.”
“My Black Mental and Emotional Health Matters. I shouldn’t be reminded every time I leave my dorm room of how easy my life can be taken away, or how many Black lives have been taken away because of police brutality. This is emotionally triggering for very obvious reasons. And if you want to belittle or invalidate by [sic] black experience, I live in Atherton, come thru, let’s have that idiotic conversation.”
[The artist] plans to modify her mural. “I spoke with Gregory earlier and we agreed on a modification that preserves the integrity of the original piece while avoiding any potentially triggering content—it’s a change I was absolutely happy to make in the interest of creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone in my community... I have absolutely no right to decide whether or not my artwork is offensive to marginalized communities—nor does anyone else in a position of privilege, racial or otherwise.”

Holy shit how fucking sensitive can someone be
hahaha let these premadona's wank each other of. they'll amount to nothing in 5 to 10 years.
work hard to rise above this level of mediocrity we seem to find ourselves in. the incredibles foretold this.
It's a gun, it suppose to be triggering.
Does anyone have them, apparently out there but never seen any of his Patreon stuff to download

Gorgeus Manga Pages
The last chapter of TG:re , god damn it , look at this shit
>ishida
>not getting worse and worse after :re
>panels dont flow anymore
>fights are a nonsensical clusterfuck
>only the occasional nice drawing every now and then.
don't post about manga here again.
ishidas illustration game got better but all his manga skills have degraded in return.
>>2470698
I'm not particularly impressed. Looks like he's spamming the page with effects that serve little purpose other than to impress dolts like you.
The figures are nothing special, and that hand is pretty fucked up.
>clusterfuck of effects and nobackgrounds
Nice.
>A pair of eyes drawn constructively and in correct values will appear to be a live because of craftsmanship, not because of the artist's ability to read the sitters soul

Is this true? How am I going to get girls to sleep with me because I am deep if I am little more than a glorified plumber.
>>2496861
yes, that is how it is.
it's all technique and knowledge.
as far as i know, the only things related to spirituality in art are motivation, satisfaction and subject matter.
>>2496861

What art program does everyone use here?
GIMP, the best out there.
Krita and sometimes good old photoshop
Photoshop is the industry standard and LITERALLY the only tool you will need, I'm tired of these threads.
