He's leagues above anyone else. His attention to detail is insane and his art style is masterful.
I wouldn't hesitate to put him on the same level as Michelangelo and Da Vinci.

Not in my country
Hello there!
Here's a colleague of some of my former tutors, and probably the most well-known artist I've talked to in real life. After just starting lurking this board a few weeks ago, I'm guessing of all the artists who's names I've memorised, through my 14 years as a painter, Jonathan Wateridge might be the one closest to the general taste of /ic/.
What baffles me about this board, is the fact that literally none of the names that has been brought up, are known in the 'real' art world. Complementary to this, there seem to be a consensus that art school and contemporary art is worthless to you lot. Does /ic/ even research the diverse plethora of 21st century art?
Watch the video, tell me what you think, and name some other artists that one likely could come across in the stables of internationally acclaimed galleries.
http://youtu.be/cJewz6JUJXM
The thing about /ic/ is that we draw ourselves, we aren't here to look at other artists.
The artists you see us talking about are the ones whose techniques we care about, because that will actually help us with our own stuff.

I'm going to go ahead and say this is a bait thread
guys guys urgent help.
got a larger gig, a single painting for 500$
guy wants an invoice and stuff. what the fuck do i do`? how do i write an invoice? which laws do i need to follow? lol
>>2459501
you should start by telling us which country/state and by not asking this on 4chan
>>2459501
fucking google it shit head
All income is taxable, just list it as "Other income" when you file your taxes next year. Look up your local taxes. If you live in NYC for instance, you'll have to pay both state and city sales tax. However if it's all in cash and your art sales aren't a regular thing, you might consider it an under the table sort of thing.
There are loads of invoice templates online, just use google.
Since this is a sizeable amount of money, you may want to consider having them put down a deposit and sign a contract that basically says if you don't fulfill your end, the deposit is refunded, if he tries to back out before you finish you keep the deposit, and if you complete the work, he is legally obliged to pay you. There are some freelancer contract templates out there too, just do your research.

Last thread >>2455160
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.

News Flash: if you don't smoke crystal meth no one will ever take your art seriously.
Hey guys, any of you has had experience in the game/animation/movie industry as an artist? Or even as a freelance artist?
I still have 2-3 years until I finish high school, but I'm very concerned about what it takes to have a future career in those fields.
-Could you name 10 pros and cons on working in those industries?
-What qualifications are suited for them?
- How do you see the industry in 10 years?how about 20 years?
Thanks so much in advance, and I am aware that this post might be more suited to the advice board that this board, but i really hope that the right people will see it easier here, since this is an art related board. :)
p.s: pic is related, it's a drawing i did a while ago
>>2460012
> not gonna list all that shit.
> Entering mainstream companies is a combination of 3 things, skill, visibility, luck.
>You can't enter any jobs without any quality work.
>You have to make sure you are always updated and is active in social medias to promote your work so you can get friends and contacts.
> you gotta be in the right place at the right time to cease the opportunity.
> pretty much the same, most likely it'll be oversaturated so the prices will go down significantly to starting artists while those well knowns will most likely stay afloat and the other veterans will probably leave the industry as a whole or gotten used to the busy lifestyle.
Go to maps.google.com right now, search the term "atelier" and see if there's one near you and consider taking a few basic classes. It's about what you can do moreso than where you went to school, and to that end there's no sense in not getting the jump on your formal education; with the right teacher you could get good enough to get a substantial markdown on tuition if you do end up deciding to go to a college.
>>2460024
Also, pretty much everything >>2460023 said is topical and true, because you're so young though I just figured I'd try and butt in to send you in the right direction if you're really ambitious to work in an art related field.
Can we have a thread about writing, and calligraphy maybe?
I'd like to perfect my handwriting. Or first to get it good because it is really messy.
Is a brush pen usable for daily writing?
i don't have anything to contribute, just don't want this thread to die.
>>2457550
>Is a brush pen usable for daily writing?
No.
Try Ames' Guide to Self-Instruction or Rosemary Sassoon's Improve Your Handwriting. Do the exercises and practice the letter forms until you're comfortable with your consistency, but more importantly just write a lot and be conscious of /how/ you're writing. Aim for consistency, mind your mistakes and take the time to correct them; if you notice you're getting a certain letter different all the time go back and practice it. If you don't have anything to write just take more notes as you study / read books / etc. Write down important passages or song lyrics or whatever the fuck you're into, copy those over a few times, buy a new pen to encourage yourself to write more often, etc.

by the way, what do you think the future of youtube animation is? i'd like to get into it but a lot of people say it's about to crap out. apparently it's not worth it anymore?
I understand it's takes a lot of time to produce even a few minutes of animation, but most of those animators have very little skill in terms of draftsmanship, illustration, and concept. Where the artistic integrity.
I can only hope Allah will bless us with better animators and smite these dumpster bin shitters in the future.

Why is Proko recommended again? Looking past his cringey humor, he literally shows you how to draw something in one video and then in his step by step video he does a completely different process. Is there a channel which better goes through each part of the face?
Ya gotta pay
>>2459572
I'm just about to go through his portrait series myself, dunno anyone else that covers it so extensively in the video format than him
Using his face videos as an example, the ones I think you're mistaking for 'showing you how to draw something' is essentially a study of the thing (the 'anatomy and structure' videos). They're exercises to understand the anatomy and forms of the feature.
His step-by-steps then demonstrate his own method. The knowledge of the anatomy is the same, the steps are different.
If you're watching these videos just copying his exact steps you're doing it wrong and you're not going to learn to draw the features from other angles. Following along might be useful once or twice but you need to learn the anatomy and the way the feature works, not how he did that particular drawing step-by-step.
How do you all stay motivated to keep on practicing and improving?
I'm a noob and went through a half year where I drew almost everyday, worked on a couple real pieces on top of studies, and did r/sketchdaily for the entire duration. Then I just burned out.
I don't have the patience to put into studying anymore. It's harder to find motivation and inspiration. Was this maybe just not for me?
Unless you go to school for it, art is very much a self-starter sort of thing. If you can't push through it or develop strategies to keep you moving, you might be better off pursuing a career where other people push for you.
>>2454386
damn. the thing is i work a 9-5 in an entirely different field (engineering) and it drains me of time and energy. what's your story?
>>2454380
>>2454400
Mix it up brah, try a new medium, make your own sketchbooks with cool paper, change your setting. I work a non art 9-5 and most days for lunch go out and sketch buildings or people in the food court. I got into a slump of just drawing from life in my house or life drawing session, and drawing en plain air was a major inspiring change that is so much more fun than I could have ever guessed, once I got over the anxiety of doing art in public of course.
They should burn all these kinds of books they cause to much damage to new age artists
The damage is allready done, and it would be no good if they didn't also burn all the people in jewtube making tutorials of things they don't know how to draw in the first place
>>2432023
If people can't tell just by looking that the author of this abomination can't draw for shit, then they never had a chance to begin with
>>2432054
this.
The "artist" who shat out pic related has crawled all up his own asshole and is pretending to be an art teacher and makes all kinds of shitty tutorials. And people eat all his shit up like it's fondue or something.
Any writers here?
I used to write because I was really good at it. Then I realized the only reason I wrote was because I couldn't draw (yet I still wanted to express ideas I had in my head), it hit me that all this time I spent working on my writing I could have spent learning how to draw. I have a lot of lost time and I wish I bit the bullet and started learning art earlier.
Ever since I started I haven't looked back. To each his own, but damn does drawing feel a hell of a lot more rewarding than writing.
>>2459186
Holy shit this, so much this. I've just started getting to grips with anatomy and going to practice scenery and architecture next, it's so liberating seeing the characters and bullshit worlds you've created in word come to life on paper man
