what programs did you use, weird video thread? I made this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKpEv7zqlrc
I'm really into Skeleton paintings and stuff, post yours.
ill drop couple pics
-Peach Skin tone
+Coffee + shaving cream
=the shaving cream neutralizes the organic component of the coffee, so it wont smell & will be closer to a pigment than a drink. The shaving cream also adds white to the brownness of the coffee, making a orange-peach color.
-Charcoal stick
+stick + fire
Just burn the end of a stick.
=I personally like this more than storebought charcoal as you have more control with a "handle" stick component. Downside is you only get a handful of good lines out of one burn, but the lines are really phenomenal, especially for nature drawing. You can gather up 10 sticks, light all of the ends, get good lines out of each, then just relight the batch again.
Personally, I'm looking for:
DIY pigments
DIY Chalk
DIY Gesso
DIY Ink
DIY Paper
DIY Canvas
DIY pallette
& Good ideas for cheap bookbinding

Yo /ic/ what do u think of my new tag? also general graff thread, show me ur tags geezers
>>2458040
poor little guy
Looks generic and illegible, so about as good as your average shittag.
You know what would actually be impressive and stand out from the bland, repetitive shit taggers pump out? If they tried doing gorgeous, calligraphy/cursive. Something that takes serious and unique talent
We need to address this
>>2457449
No, it doesn't really need to be talked every week.
>>2457450
Every week? I don't lurk /ic/ like I used to. I'm more used to this shit being spammed on /co/ every other day. So what's the overall census?
What's the preferred way to show somebody the shading and light deflection in a piece ?
I want to break down the way the light is interacting with the character in this image
>>2457116
why choose an already stylized image? get a photo. I think it is better to have the connection to reality.
>>2457149
To absorb his style.
I wouldn't post any of the violent images here, but he's my personal favorite hentai artist in terms of light work.
Which cartoonist draws the best stylised male muscular figure?
>>2456687
Who draws metal gear stuff. Or the castlevania stuff. Those are nice IMO.
>>2456931
yoji shinkawa
>>2457080
Yeah there's something nice about this.
Hey there, I am making a type of American Hentai. My style is comic book like spider man, x man, JLA and all that good stuff but at the same time I admire the hentai art style of artist like Shiwasu No Okina, ISUTOSHI, and Yamatagawa. Since the doujin I am making is a parody of a sex scene from a comic book should I make it resemble the artist as much as possible or should I make it my own style?The artist style is like Jack Kirby and my art style is a bit like michael turner. what should I do???
post work

I can't tell if you're baiting or what.
>>2456495

Do some sketches, thumbs, concepts, as they are in your mind, write what you think down on a page. See if it makes sense. Probably shelve it for now.
Hey guys. I was tring to buy this book n ebay, but it seems they doesnt send international... Does anyone here knows where can i download a pdf file for this book?
What about this one?
I don't spoonfeed international here
>>2451844
I'm sorry man, it was a mistake. Sometimes I forget how to properly write in english!
how come all the criminal face sketches always look like shit?
Probably because if you're a professional artist, you don't work as a police sketch artist.
>>2457835
The cop that draws the best is the sketch artist right? I know they don't hire extra guys for this.

Let's have a thread on your stats for where you post your art. Tumblr as the example but whatever works. This isn't meant to be a self promotion thread since we have one of those.
Here post your stats, how long you've been drawing, how long you've been uploading to a blog/profile, etc.
I'll post my modest stat screen to get the ball rolling, but I'm curious what kind of numbers some of you guys have. Any questions/tips about self promotion also encouraged.
And for those of you who put all your art in a shoebox under your bed, never to show anyone, and scoff at all the soulless attention-whores who share their art, hit the hide button or something.
...this is quite difficult. You just want us to collect screencaps of all the notes/likes/favs we got on all forms of social media? At least come to the table with an app that can connect to facebook which can connect to all those platforms. Too much effort to wave my e-peen.
>>2447670
Tumblr literally has a stats screen
>>2447663
Out of curiosity what's with all this stat collecting anon? I've been following your threads and I'm just wondering what your aim might be.
I have 1.5k followers +, started "trying" a year ago, but haven't updated since December. I have around 50 posts. Top posts has around 7k+ notes, average posts a few k in likes and shares. I was very fandom specific though, so I stopped posting because I wanted to do more original stuff.
I don't see the follower thing as a big thing..just continue to git gud. If it's a big deal however just post constant fanart (with effort and consistency in quality). Once you have followers with big followings they tend to do reblog/share and that exposed your art to blogs with similar interests. If you link your social medias deviantart/instagram/tumblr you can multiply your exposure as well.
Though if you're really good the numbers will come regardless.
Any of you get those instances when the color looks weird and saturated,all warm and shit on mobile but everything looks perfectly normal on desktops/laptop screens? Any fixes for this or something?
>>2453979
get a 2500$ monitor and calibrate it
if you have an iphone, you should trust your iphone when it comes to colors. apple did an absolutely fantastic job in its color reproduction.
>>2453982
Poor as shit rn all i have is a samsung phone ah but thanks anyway anon I'll keep this in mind if i ever get money
>>2453979
In this case, its likely the phone that is displaying the correct colours, let me try and explain. There are two types of panel that all LCD screens can use (phone screens, monitors etc) and those are either a TN panel or an IPS panel.
TN panels were and still are the most common when it comes to desktop/laptop monitors, but they are very outdated and slowly becoming obsolete. Even on modern TN panels the colour reproduction is too cold and inconsistent, and they have terrible viewing angles both up/down and left/right.
IPS panels on the other hand have been a standard for mobile phones for pretty much a decade, or any monitor built specifically for image editing or colour work. They have far better colour reproduction and huge viewing angles. look at the Imac screens, or any modern smartphone and you'll see.
It's only in recent years that IPS panels have started seeing a lot more usage in desktop monitors and laptop screens. They were stupid expensive a few years ago but you can pick up a lot of entry level IPS displays for around 150-300$ that are really popular with digital painters. Just google ips monitor, there's loads :P
What are all the ways someone can turn their art skill into greater amounts of money than average for an artist?
I find it hard to think up ways to really get a lot out of art. Teaching market is already saturated. "Advice" market is niche as fuck. Selling tutorials is chump change.
Freelance, promotion, nepotism, whatever. Hit me with any ideas you have.
>learn business and finance.
>make 6 figures doing literally anything, regardless of skill
>buy some advil to relieve the back strain of hauling gold bricks back to your mansion.
or
>have the spark
>git hired
>network
>hire agent or finance guy
>make it
Probably not what you are looking, but caricature.
One of my friends does it for a living, and they can make 100 dollars an hour when they are hired for events.
You can also just set up most places and charge per person, 5 to 10 dollars a face is not bad for quick money.
>>2453552
This is the way to go since you'll be available to a lot of people who aren't interested in taking the time to contact artists through the internet. Most of them will be people who just happen to be where your booth is and want to spend some money to have fun, so if you're planning on doing this, try to interact and give them a fun time.
