How do I go from notebook doodles to something actually half decent?
rhymes with "licky"
you can find it on this board
See bigger. Get better paper, better tools, and then learn the basics, but make sure to approach them in a way that is satisfying to you, or else it can get boring af

Basically start with drawing staples (anatomy, still life, point perspective, figure drawing, speed and action drawing, landscapes, line or contour drawing, cross shading, detail, lighting, etc etc) do some practice work with different types and styles of drawing and techniques then see which you can apply to an existing drawing or a new idea to make it better than the last.
The key is understanding and practice. The only thing that makes a great artist better than a good artist (or doodler) is understanding what...

I drew this on paper and colored it in photoshop. I figured it'd be great. But it lacks something. Only thing I can tell is the shadowing. I'm a fucking idiot when it comes to that. What does /ic/ think?
The idea is funny but you definitely need them fundamentals family man.

I think this goes in my art cringe folder.

I have a difficult time with depth and shadows and I don't know how to work on it.
How do I make myself give a shit? How do you guys make yourselves care about your art when you just....don't care? I can force myself to sit here and try and draw for hours and nothing I like comes out of it and because I don't like it nothing good comes out.
I think a recent string of events in my life has left me somewhat depressed and hopeless, and even though I am motivated enough to get myself to work I can bring myself to care about anything I make and as a result it sucks.
What do I do??
>>2483424
You've become complacent.
You're digging and laying in your own grave because your slowly sinking, comfortably.
It's not life or death right now, it could be later, but right now, your living conditions could be what I would call comfortably uncomfortable.
I don't know to fix that because I'm in fucking rut as you, but at least I can give you at least a little bit of insight. Habits are hard to break, and you will fall and falter, but if you make a conscious effort to change each day, slowly you will change, for the better.
I don't know maybe these are just empty words, but at least know that everyone goes through this at least once.
Decide that art is going to pay your rent. Potential homelessness is a good motivator to get work done.

Wow anon, that whole "comfortably uncomfortable" thing sounds about right.... What do you do if its not even your habits though? What if you just....can't....do the thing??
But I guess, to be fair, my habits aren't perfect in the first place so maybe I should try and work on those before I decide I'm hopeless.
Good luck to you anon, and thank you for the helpful words. I'll be rooting for you to get out of your rut too.

This is true, but I could always work at a Sheetz I guess.

Hi /ic/. I come in desperate need of an illustration gif that i found here, /r/ was no help. It was an illustration of a chinese lion/monster with a weave in front of it that looks like pic related. Thanks in advance~
Google illustrator sachin teng, the gif you want is on his tumblr somewhere.

thank you, friend.
Hey guys i'm making a photo manipulation but i'm kind of out of ideas. As i'm already looking at this for a few hours i'm not quite sure whats good and bad. thanks in advance.

What you are most lacking, aside from any original or interesting design, is a good composition.
Everything is all over the place.
Judging by how poorly all the photo plates are integrated I'd assume you're just trolling.
2/10
>>2481267
There's no focus. Poor composition. And at the end of the day 99% of all photo manipulations are bad, even the "good" ones are bad. It's honestly the worst form of digital art I can think of. It takes something real special to break out of that collage aesthetic and achieve that 1% of quality.
But if you want to make this picture work, you have to get rid of almost everything in it. Pick a focus and have whatever is left in the image hinge upon that focal point. As it is, you have 8 random...

Hi /ic/
I want to start coloring my drawings and I followed some tutorials. Im using PS but Im totally stuck at this point :
>Once I have my line layer, I select the outside with the magic wand.
>Invert the selection.
>Create a new layer with the selection.
>Fill it with the bucket, and place it below the line layer.
Now what? I cant select the different parts of my draw with the wand as the filled color layer doesnt have any lines.
Should...

There are a few different ways. Watch the ctrl+paint videos on masking, they'll explain it easily enough.

yeahhh this is pretty basic. I'm sure most people could help, but its a lot to try and describe in a fucking text explanation rather then letting you search for 5 minutes on youtube and get more questions answered that you're going to ask later.
