OK ic I have some water color pencils that look cool when you, well, put water on it. BUTT
( Y )
I don't know how to apply them properly. I draw what I want first, then I wet it in directions with my fine brushes. How do I actually use them?
>>2460912
ya draw on the outline of the drawing with the dry pencil then with a dampened brush you spread the color and stuff.
But I could focus less on coloring and more on actual drawing and structure because so far, I don't really like what I'm looking at... and my neck aches.
just.... stop drawing
Ty anon
Is there any reason to study from photo references instead of studying from life other than you have no friend to draw or being to autistic to leave your parents' basement?
what if im both too autistic to leave my parents' basement AND i have friends who come over to be drawn? feels good anon
How do I pick something to paint? I can't stand to look at myself so self-portraits are out of the question and I don't have any friends.
Massive variety of subject matter not immediately available.
Convenience.
The subject doesn't move.
Either you're shitposting or you're retarded, the reasons are obvious.
I need help deciding which color works best, this being a redesign of her colors
(I think five is the worst, but I kind of like 9)

What does /ic/ think of sculpting?
Did you know that due to recent events the market for little plastic fantasy men is opening up pretty well?
irl sculpting is hard, the medium is stubborn and won't lose mass when you will it. I thought It'd be more intuitive, but fuck no.
>Did you know that due to recent events the market for little plastic fantasy men is opening up pretty well?
Sounds like a dead end, when you account for 3D printing. A million people can order the same figurine (dl the print data for free even), can print tweaked game characters etc. while a thousand artists sell nothing. If you manage to make a name for yourself early on you can perhaps be the go-to artist on some internet site for generic sculptures for quite a while, but you'll be an exception.
Then you have of course the snobs, who want one of a kind, but those don't differ from what sculpture market always was and plastic won't satisfy them.
Comission work is how it'll look like for most people in the end. Just like illustration.
I'd say if you aim for trad sculpting you cover snobs, if digital go make assets for something biugger, than just the sum of shapes you commit to red clay.
What recent events?

ignore this cunt.
Get into sculpting miniatures.
its hot as fuck at the moment.
Frostgrave is blowing up at the moment for example
let's see the size of your art folder , from tutorials to references or just your favorite art
I don't have one folder. Art has been part of my life too long to be able to organize everything nicely.
It's spread around multiple harddisks and in all sorts of folders. You can probably find art in my porn folders and porn in my art folders.
nice try bobby jew, you are not about to bust me for ripping your entire site privately.
>>2458139
What this guy said; it's not just in one folder but in many.
Can you draw while lying down?
I can if I'm on my back and I have a hard surface (clipboard, tablet etc..)
chest down or sideways I can't though.
>>2457502
I do all the time, mostly while watching tv, but it's pretty clear it's not an effective way to draw. You can't use your whole arm if you are on your stomach and are still pretty limited on your back.
>>2457502
I usually have to prop myself by putting pillows underneath my titties, so I'm more of a raised position? but then I can, just fine.
¿What do you think about Zeronis?
>>2461925
his tits look like cones
>>2461925
looks nothing like the character
Can we talk about tagging your art? What are some good tags to use?
I tend to do all the basic ones, "art", "artists on tumblr", if it's digital or not, etc. But unless it's a specific piece of fanart, what else do you throw at the wall? Trees, humans, OC, landscape, lineart? Do people search tags like that on Tumblr?
Colors.
You could go 'painting', 'concept art', 'illustration'. You could describe what's in the picture itself, 'mountains', 'forest', 'lake'. 'crowd', 'cityscape' 'landscape', etc. You could describe the mood, 'dark', 'warm', 'mysterious', etc.
If you want to just tag the hell out of it, just be as descriptive as possible, tagging each individual thing. In my experience, tumblr's search engine is pretty weak, so tagging it with whatever you can will probably help more people find it.
>>2461470
I constantly hear that only the first five count on Tumblr - if that's the case what's the point of the rest?
Table I made. Opinions?
I can respect the craftsmanship that goes into something like that and the patterns are kind of cool but I'd never eat off of something that loud, personally.
>>2449316
I agree with you 100%.

Islam/10.
Would Jihad.
ive been going through a rough break so ive been drawing a lot more than usual lately and wanted some critique on my artwork. enjoy!
>>2462639
i feel like these are some of my stronger pieces, let me know if you want to see more
>>2462641
I'm interested. Keep going.
Anyone here know what sites like redbubble, society6 and curioos charge you for selling a print? Which one screws over artists the least? And is the amount you pay as an artist proportional to the price you choose to sell your shit for, or is it an absolute value? Because if I manage to find someone stupid enough to buy my print for 899$ I don't want some jew hand coming out of nowhere and taking 25%.
>>2461182
then why dont you sell them on your own website?
>>2461189
I'm not able to handle print and shipping dummy. That's the whole point of using these sites, no?
I'm currently selling things on all major PoD sites, and would be totally willing to give you some tips on how to start and what's worthwhile. But typing it all out involves me using my "jew hands", which you're totally opposed to for some reason.
So figure it out yourself, bitch.
So is "Loomis" work like this supposed to make you better, because after I finish the torso I did feel like I have improved, is it supposed to be so detailed?
Work on shading/values next.
>>2459899
Your drawings feel flat like you didn't fully understand how to construct them.
You should deconstruct objects in life. Then do the reverse when you build your drawing on paper no matter what it is.
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make your mom proud.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, There is a question thread for that.
Visit the usual "Art book Thread" to find your desired books.
Do not forget to PLEASE RESIZE and crop your images before uploading them. 1kpx is fine.
Before asking "what should I read/view/study/learn," Read the f*cking sticky, it's there for a reason: >>1579290 → →
There's a new sticky in town! You can see it at https://www.reddit.com/comments/46sb9k/
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

Looking for advice on this, I plan on redoing it. I noticed a lot of my proportions are off, this is one of my first time drawing without a real reference, just a cartoon.
