I heard that the best way to improve is drawing and drawing and drawing and drawing...
It does really work?
or you will be shit all your life?
it seems to be working for me, draw from life, draw shapes, draw everything. and do it every day for several hours(i try to do 8 every day) i looked at my work from when i started or even like last year and where i am at now and its much better in the case of when i first started way fucking better.. so yeah just draw, but do it in the right ways.
Worked for me.
>finally get a bit better at drawing bodies
>get a pose with foreshortening/ unusual perspective (something like pic related)
> fuck it up marvelously
FUGG
the ride never ends. Also faces in general still give me nightmares.
as for gitting gud, I did get (at least) a bit better than I used to, but deep inside I doubt I'll ever reach that level of drawing I want to achieve
what if i can draw somewhat like sargent and im only a senior in highschool?
you have The Spark
It's called Dunning Kruger Snydrome. Just keep working on your art and in a few years, when you look back at those "Sargent-tier" paintings from highschool, you will cringe and have a nice laugh.
post work
not sure what board to post this on, but here goes. ive been coloring manga for years for my own benefit and i feel ive gotten a good grasp on digital painting through doing so. most of what i do though ends up looking smooth and glossy and thats not always the best look. i want it to look more like a scanlated manga, pic related. but i cant figure out how to create that pixelization. closest ive gotten is the hurl noise filter in gimp, desaturated and put on soft light above all the color layers. but that doesnt cause any hue change, only brightness and saturation so its only...

that was literally my last resort too, i didnt want to create a tile pattern lol. thanks anon.
>>2475422
Could something like OP did or other manga/webcomics be done the same way or is it digital only?
Make this awesome /ic/
<<<Go!!
Once I could draw kind of like that (not so much detailed muscles since it's not my dope, but realistic anatomy done right) but since I'm trying to do things academically well with the gesture, simplifying shapes and all I'm having a hard time to get to the finished result.
But surely my memory is tricking me, making me think it was better than it actually was.
>>2472798
Don't be shy anon, show us what you got. This is where you can break all the rules.
>>2472763
what do you mean? fix this drawing? Try to draw our own figure in that pose? Not sure I understand what exactly you mean with "make this awesome".
How well do I actually need to learn how to draw if all I intend on doing is trying to get rich from making kids cartoons?
You don't need to draw at all, just need a marketable idea that the execs will eat up.
>>2466099
Very well, considering you'll have to be the one doing story boards, character design, test animations, backgrounds and then pitch it to some studio executive. That requires serious drawing skills, regardless how simplistic of a style you choose to draw in.

If only being the idea guy would actually work like this, everyone would have at least 5 tv shows under their name.

gay

sure whatever. there's nothing i wont draw
>>2461670
Yes, now fuck off.
Is it art? Does it live up to the hype? What's your take guys?
It is art because art's only value is to be pissed on

Oh look, another 'what is art?' thread that will do add nothing to the general discussion.
Who will be the first to mention the jews/CIA did this? Who will post the link to the 'Why is Modern Art so Bad?' video?

Is there any conceivable way to get a cute models number without coming off as a total creep or asshole?
'' Hi my name is Anon and I'm an artist, can I get your number for modelling?''
And then just don't act act like an autistic faggot.
>>2475314
>And then just don't act act like an autistic faggot.
But asking that very same question is something you'd expect from an autistic faggot.
So, I bought some charcoal pencils and holy fuck, this is difficult. How do you git gud with this shit?
Als, critique my shit, I guess.
>>2474145
Learn to sharpen and hold your pencil properly, use appropriate paper. Then it's just a matter of learning how to actually draw.

Stuff I doodled at my old job. This is probably why I got laid off.
I don't have the ligameme. Should I end it? I'll never be pro... Fellow less fortunate non-ligamemers, how do you deal with it? How do you deal with the fact that the Git Gud God has passed over you and left you to rot in your mediocrity?
>>2472035
I'll sell you mine once I'm pro.
Maybe it's true /ic/. I have dubs and only seen improvements this past year.

Do you really meme it senpai ?
just a quick PSA: Flip note studio 3d was released for free on the 3ds in europe today.
for anyone who doesn't know, flipnote is a flip book style animation software for the 3ds that was announced in 2011 and has only since been released in japan until today.
i've been playing around with it and i'm pretty sure it's my favourite, most accessible tool for learning and practicing frame by frame animation. (i also own a cintiq 13hd and have lots of experience animating in flash and photoshop)
tip: you can use a mechanical pencil as a stylus to make drawing more comfortable, just make sure you have a screen protector on
The software is only available as a free download until the 30th of April, for people who sign up to mynintendo dot com
>>2467154
Damn, it JUST released in Europe? I remember it being released as a sendoff gift from Club Nintendo over a year ago.
>>2467164
yeah i think it was just north america that got it at the end of club nintendo, and it's been unavailable to get since then
>>2467177
Well, anyways, did you ever get into Hatena back in its hayday?

Amazing documentary. I know it's still marketing in disguise, but it really shows how much work went behind the movie.
>>2473931
Of course, any behind the scenes content for anything was made to promote any film or show.
Anyways, thanks for the link OP, I'll check it out later.

Like I've never seen the appeal with furry shit before but I have to admit even after just seeing a trailer of this movie that fucking bunny makes my dick feel funny. VERY funny.
