Remind me why I keep fighting the good fight and why I just don't give into the catering for Plebian folk and to the autistic one trick ponies? I need some love and attention too, /ic/.

why do you care about popularity among normalfags with shit taste?

The Shekels. The Fame. The Adoration. The Praise. The Shekels.

The thing is that the key animators and animation directors know their shit.
It doesn't matter if the chinese outsourcing screws up because the directors know how to create popper flow and fix the crippling mistakes the DA tier artists make.
Every good artist has good hand control. Hand control is the only factor which is beyond us. You can't train it unless you have a double Palmaris Longus Muscle. Don't believe me? Ask your favorite artist whoever it may be.
Glenn Vilppu has a double palmaris, so does Proko and Sycra. Glenn's the OP pic. I have it too, and so does everyone who is better than at least 50% of i/c.
It has become very clear that we've mis-identified the spark as something within us, but it's clear our body is the real limit.
So I ask you I/C. Do you have it? Do you have the ligameme?
>>2470152
Heres proof that I have the ligameme.
>>2470152
Literally who are you and why are you namefagging? Post some art.

Is Loomis a meme, or is it really helpful for beginners?
Both

I didn't really understand Loomis when first starting out, but after getting around some of the basics, I find him a lot more helpful.

Let's post some tutorials, work processes, or any other step-by-step stuff that can be used for study.

How do I get better at drawing portraits. I been doing lots of them and studying loomis what else should I do?
You can also read "Artist's Complete Guide to Drawing the Head" and I think "Famous Artist Course" has a decent chapter or two on portraits.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

Very oldfag here. Back in my teens I thought I was going to be some kind of comic book artist or some shit. Unfortunately for me and probably fortunately for you I had to face up to the fact that I just wasn't very good. I would have had to invest a lot more time into it and I got forced into a work situation so never really picked it up again. However I hung onto some of the stuff I created. Most of it is pretty crappy when I look at it now. When I look at the amazing shit some artists do it makes me sad. Anyhow I thought it might be fun to share with you some of it and see how a teenager from the 80's with creative aspirations and some weird thought processes got it out of his system. I have removed the signatures so excuse the black blocks on some of them. Also please excuse the photos since my scanner is not large enough.
Err...white boxes on signatures I mean.

I think I was trying to come up with some Rogue Trooper type bullshit. Autismo mode on full.
Is google tiltbrush a viable media for professional work?
all i've seen until now is meme brushes: sparkle brush, snow brush, light brush, ala corel painter

There's a monthly drawing challenge on krita forums guys. Not many people contribute there so how about we help them out and contribute?
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=277&t=131984
Krita is an awesome piece of software and I think a couple contributions could show that we appreciate them. Even if you don't use Krita, having open source competition makes the devs of paid software work harder and provide more tools to justify the costs.
I don't use Krita but I may think about it.
sell it to me
>>2478735
photoshop runs as smooth as butter on my pc but fucking krita takes 10 seconds to render one line for me and im not even exaggerating
>>2479668
Had this problem too a while a ago.
Out of curiosity, what gpu do you have?
im getting back into art soon, and still have my intuos 3
is it worth getting the newest tablet, or is the intuos 3 still worth using?
Intuos 3 is better than the current and last gen intuoses imho. Top tier tablet, you have no excuse to not use it.
I still use mine. If it was good enough before I figure there is no reason why it shouldn't still be.
Has anyone tried out Watts' online school? I'm a beginner and was wondering if the drawing classes help. He claims Loomis and other things will be incorporated into the lessons so you only have to do bare minimal reading.
>>2483105
If you're just starting out and have the opportunity to study through the Watts online, you're probably luckier than many.
Although, I would still give books like the Loomis ones a read though regardless. There's no need to be exclusive about it, and doing one thing simply to avoid having to do the work of taking time to read a book is probably not the best mindset going in.
>>2483116
I have no problem reading, but /ic/ is always saying (including the sticky) the books are full of stupid babbling bullshit.
>>2483120
It doesn't have to be an in-depth read with note-taking. Just a skim through at the least after picking it up from the book thread. Don't take /ic/ memes too seriously, it's mostly facetious shitposting.
Anyway, I haven't taken a thorough look myself at the Watts online, but I do know that they have lessons for those starting from the very basics (like rendering basic shapes).
You could also just shoot an e-mail with your questions to the atelier itself, I would guess.
any other good movies about learning art?
anyone know that movie, asian students, one of them wanting to be the best, its a comedy i think but yea basically a movie about animation and the main character loves it over the top kind of way
>>2482166
Whiplash, even if it's music instead of visual art. The professor is basically what /ic/ wants to be at least.
>>2482172
i think you mean blue blazes

If I e-mail a client and they either take a week or 2 to get back to me or don't answer my questions at all. Should I be worried?
You didn't get the job, bud.
>>2482322
Well I sent them a couple rough sketches and layout ideas 2 weeks ago and I have yet to hear back. The first week we talked we exchanged emails very regularly. Now nothing.
>>2482325
I guess you could ask them if they are still interested or just wait and hope.
