I am a professional in the 3d industry and have basic drawing skills but ultimately want to get better, but I feel im in between loomis and all that and basic perspective, but i still struggle with getting to the next level. Can anyone help me and talk w/ me about potential study paths to follow?
My goals are:
- the usual concept art paintings like jama jurabev and maciej and so on
- fashion and portrait drawings in that similar style but actual line art too. Just solid realism, being able to draw environments and people and faces and all that....

> Figure drawing, took multiple classes. Not bad, but my limit comes in getting them to look better after the 1-3 min mark.
seems like you might be drawing too fast if your done after 3 minutes. whats your drawing process like? do you draw without thinking or do you pause every couple strokes and plan ahead?
One thing I noticed you didn't mention as well is anatomy, can you draw an accurate skeleton from imagination? Do you know what each muscles insertions and origins are?
Loomis is great but is more basic when it...

Oh so I meant 1-3 min gestures, like those sites / in figure drawing classes where the poses would change really quickly. I draw messy and heavy so even when it goes to the 10 min poses my results don't really get better since its already plagued by the heavy messy under drawing
I've been working on removing that by being more deliberate, which is why I'm leaning towards going back into some books and doing front to back studies but this time much cleaner.... But that doesn't solve the subject...

I'm not baiting, it's true. Why is this? I spent a while in Japan and the average person on the street could probably draw a better human figure than the marity of people on /ic/, I'm not even kidding, there is that much of a skill gap. What makes them so great?

>I spent a while in Japan and the average person on the street could probably draw a better human figure...
And were supposed to believe you?
You were in Japan, for a while. So 1-4 years? Even more?
And yet it never occured to you to simply ask them?
I know your statements are wrong, but atleast try to follow an inner logic when you make them. Right now not only are they factually wrong, but they also violate the logic of your story itself.
Could be their language and handwriting. All japanese have a ton of pencil mileage from having to learn all those individual characters. I think people on average were better at drawing in the west too back when handwriting was more emphasized in school.

If you're not baiting, then you're just plain old retarded.
trying to find the original artist who painted pic related

As a 26 years old guy living in a third world country, it is possible for me to live off art? I've seen a lot of artists doing well so i want to give it a try.
Pic related not my art.

yes. 1k usd a month is very very easy to do.
It all depends on your living situation. If you have years ahead of you where you can dedicate yourself to constant effort in practice, you will eventually make a living off of it, but don't make any poor bets. You're not very young, so you have to decide whether or not you want to struggle with something relatively few people ultimately become successful at, or just choose a safer career and try to live comfortably. You can always study art as a hobby in your spare time, and maybe someday down the road change your career to art.
Put your financial security...

Yeah, man. You can totally do it, but you have to be really good.
And no, you don´t have to be "really good" because of your situation, but because only the "really good" people make it.
Can you post your work, famiglia? And which country you from, out of curiosity.
Are there any good art-related podcasts I can listen to while drawing?
>>2436543
i'm very interested in that: having something to listen is literally the only thing that motivates me to begin painting, and keep doing it for hours.
Music and audiobooks are ok, but would be interesting listening something art related once in a while.

Does anyone find digital painting lazy nowadays? I watch youtube videos of people digitally painting and how many "tricks" these supposed "professionals" get away with.
They actually still used burn for shading and dodge for highlighting. It also seemed they spent a lot of time playing around with various effects instead of actual painting. Especially various filters, like lens flare (really!) Playing around with filter opacity can only get you so far if your coloring and painting technique are weak.
I understand that in visual art, a lot of...

When you blend colors digitally it tends to kill saturation (since it's calculating a numeric value, not having two pigments interact). This is why digital paintings have a tendency to have all kinds of issues with saturation that a traditional painter doesn't have to think about as much. I find blending and layer modes extremely helpful in this regard.

it's because this shit takes zero skill whatsoever. and that's why 'getting good' or 'muh portfolio' is total bs. you've noticed yourself that the amount of crutches these professionals seem to build their work on is through the fucking roof, and that's why this 'skill' is completely void of any inherent value.
Just like Rahid and Kumar started taking every webdesigners jobs back in the early 2000's, the average first-world 16 year old that torrented...

Just like all art jobs disappeared when photos were invented

Would anyone here recommend art clubs or social groups if you're a total novice looking to get into drawing? I fail to get into a lot of things, especially considering I get about 10 minutes of social interaction a week or so. Being lonely is a huge demotivator.
>actively choosing to spend time with people instead of drawing
it's like you people don't want to make it.
>>2451623
Spending time drawing and talking about art, though?
>>2451650
Nah, it's a good idea. It will help get you some motivation to draw and it's more fun with others.
The only downfall to such things are that they can turn into circlejerks.
what drug can I take to be instantly better at drawing? I need something to leap me forward, all this practice is leaving me pretty discouraged. any advice on sucessful leaps would be amazing.
