If you want to learn to freehand perspective should you learn how to do perspective on a grid first? Or is it better to just keep practicing freehand until your drawings look right?
What are the use cases for grid? It seems like its mainly for just do vehicle design and getting big scenes with multiple objects in looking right. But when I've seen things like a planar break down of the face. Manipulating that in 3 dimensions free hand seems almost impossible without drawing out the VPs etc. People like Proko and Loomis seem to be able to draw this complex geometric stuff in perspective without a explicitly drawing out the construction but did they learn with the construction or did they just practice from observing perspective until they could do it?
Grids seems really abstract and slow as opposed to learning how to just visualise it and I'm wondering if the investment of time of drawing straight lines with a ruler is really worth it...
Start by working on grids. The problem with trying to learn how to freehand perspective by freehanding perspective is that you won't know whether or not the perspective is actually correct after you've freehanded it. By using a grid you can train your eye to understand how different 3d forms look in space.
After a while it is good to then transition into doing sketches/layouts freehand, and tightening and cleanup on grids, and eventually to just freehand.
What site would you recommend when it comes to selling your art on shirts , or selling art-books , comics, doujinshi and so on ?
I heard redbubble is good and also doujin press is decent .
Still , everything is so vague regarding sites like redbubble , i don't even get how this is supposed to work . Do you pay some money per month on the site to sell your shirts and shit ? Do they take half of your earned money?
Also , if these questions are not fit for /ic , i'm really sorry in advance .
u just assumed /ic fags are well known artists and that they are able to sell their art

Hi /ic/,
I wanna start learning to draw and I want to learn how to draw like the old masters... I heard a lot of Artists started with Anime before going further (like Janaschi or Sakimichan).
So I wondered do you think there were many old masters who started with Anime too before going into hyper realism? Can you post some examples?
>>2480290
Clearly Da Vinci didnt start on anime, but he did a ton of anatomy works and his styke is not hyper-realism
>>2480290
Start first with something like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain or Keys to Drawing to learn how not to symbol draw. Then draw from life applying concepts from other people like Proko, Villpu, Loomis, etc. ad nauseum.
>>2480290
If you truly want to learn to draw like the old masters you should look into atelier style training.
I've been painting off and on since I was 12 I'm in my late 20s now and need to do something with my life soon (careerwise) I'm moving to the bay area with my fiance this year and there's a school there called California College of the Arts that gives out full ride scholarships and I was wondering if my art is good enough right now for me to qualify
Here's another
>>2480260
its tough to determines someones skill level with a graphicy piece like this. got anything that requires alot of technicality?
I'm slowly moving beyond that stage where you think you've stopped symbol drawing but realize you totally still are and studying Bridgman and Loomis with a better understanding that makes my initial attempts look completely laughable, and the sheer number of piece of information about the body that I never new there were before just seems completely overwhelming. But it's still a good feel, I feel like I've made another breakthrough and finally seriously beginning to see how little I really know and also how to practice.
Anyone else know this feel? Does eventually is it just second nature? Also is Bridgeman's text supposed to be completely unintelligible? Can anyone explain his method for constructing heads? i've attached the instructions.
>>2480227
here's the photos on the opposing page
(the 2 pictures on the right are a piece i'm working on right now. i'm not that great yet but construction is helping me get better.)
>>2480227
Yeah, there's a lot of baggage that comes with studying. Eventually, if you practice it enough it DOES become intuitive. The Bridgman book is a bit confusing, but I've had lots of fun with Loomis' Drawing the Head (which you can find a link for free in the sticky). I would drop the Bridgman book and go straight for Loomis.
Loomis' head construction method is pretty straight forward, just 4 equidistant lines on a plane with some proportions that you can tweak based on the character. Very easy to follow and build on. I started studying Loomis around ~February?? and it's been fun. Cheers

the drawing is nice, but that shading looks terrible
Creepy/uncanny charcoal/drawing thread. Post any creepy and/or uncanny charcoal drawings you've done or seen.
I just tried charcoal for the first time yesterday while stoned and it was a lot of fun just losing myself while drawing. Pic related. Only a beginner.

Hi, first off, welcome to /ic/ its nice to have you
second, please do not bump. While /ic/ is of moderate size, it is also a slow board. A lot of the capacity remain in a few generals, and only venture out when board or waiting for a response. Meaning that while your thread may not be within the first 3 pages, there is still a chance of it being seen and responded to
with that out of the way, let me say that thats a pretty strange drawing you have there. Not too creepy in my opinion, solely because I can see you attempted a figure study and then just got upset and scribbled over it, but neat never the less.
whats wrong with that dog

critique?
Looking to showcase a card magic effect I came up with.
This was the only area for arts.

this is an illustration board, not an art board

Did this one 2 nights ago: when I've designed this character past year, she was more old looking, but then, 2 nights ago, I've realize that all my characters look ageless, so I wanna try and siplify age feathures, such as wrinkles, body building and some other age features. Post yours and feel free to give/ask for advice.
>>2479621
well fimfam, this is completely stylized, so the age is whatever the fuck you say it is considering you're not going by actual anatomy. that being said, compared to other artists and the very vague proportions, this character is probably like 14?
I mean unless you have a pre established set of proportions you're using for a series, you can say fuck all whatever you want about what anatomy and proportions implies what age.
I mean fuck, maybe just add wrinkles to signify older age? that's what the wannabe weeb fags who can't draw do.
What comes to your mind when you see this work of Bosch, images, words, especially when you watch the right panel.
If I had to make a commercial out of it, wich path should I take.
Sounds like a school assignment
do your own homework
