Something you should know about critiques.
Critiques are only valuable if they are from someone with an understanding of art.
If not the critiques are worthless and often bad advice that will make your work even worse.
Never take critique from someone who's skills aren't equal to or greater than yours.
If you cannot realize yourself whether or not a critique is correct, regardless how good or bad the person is who gave it, then you are probably never going to make it. You lack the intelligence and critical thinking necessary for improvement.
>>2432251
not necessarily. any critique may be valuable to someone who is able to be mindful toward viewing their own work. perhaps if you're not capable of that, and therefore not capable of critiquing your own work to an extent, then only instructional critique from those more skilled than you will help.
but otherwise you should be able to glean valuable information from any feedback you may receive.
Does a guy need to be a chef to know if their food is too salty or too dry? Knowing the ins and out of the craft helps, but only having pedestrian knowledge of it doesn't completely invalidate the critique either. In the end, it's up to the individual's best judgement if they should take the critique given and how to apply it.
Also given the nature of /ic/, it would be impossible/impractical/against the spirit of the board to constantly be toting around credentials in order to validate what we have to say.
What are some other good communities for a beginner/ aspiring digital artist?

Google plus

my sides...

try deviantart or DrawCrowd (a lot of people hate dA but is still a big community you'll get likes/comments for any crap you upload) there's tumblr ()little better than dA, and for most professional work try behance or artstation. recently i've seen a lot of people using instagram/twitter for their artsy stuff...
>>2434864
first time I've heard of draw crowd.
but boy if it isn't the most laggy art community website on mobile I've ever visited. even dA and pixiv doesn't lag this bad.
Hi /ic/,
slowly I want to start my freelance career.
I noticed patreon would be a nice way to get some money on the side. But unfortunately since january 2015 there was a problem with patreon because of VATMOSS (mini one stop shop law). Which means that you will have to pay individual sales tax for digital trading from europe.
I found this update about patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/1817433
My business english is not the best, that's why my question is:
Is it possible to have a patreon as an european artist now?
Anyone here from europe that...

fellow german anon checking in. this will be my first year where i'll actually have to pay taxes, and i'm researching all of this shit indepth atm. can't give you anything useful right now though.
Don't forget we're governments cows.
>>2434385
If you have a bit of income, how about visiting someone who know tax law and can help you with it?
I mean tax advisor or something. In my fucked up country you need to pay taxes if your income pass 1000$ per year.
My step-dad's step-dad (Robert H. Blair) just past away at 3:30am on the 8th. This was one of his paintings.
I feel sad. He was a really awesome grandpa.
Another one.
Any similar artwork can be posted. I just want to remember my grandpa.

Looks good. I like the composition, subtle but working.
i wonder how long will it take to reach range murata's level...
Two to three years studying mostly the human body and paibtung for 12+ hours a day.
>>2434209
what is it with i/c always thinking that they will reach the level of people who are the best in their sub-industry like it's a given we all will given enough time?
I don't want to be spoonfed but it's there a list of exercise subjects, like those fit guides?
Like:
Day 1 : Master cubes
Day 2 : Master cilinders
Day 3 : Point one perspective
Day 4 : Values
and so on?
if there's no such training guide, can we make it and made it into a pastebin?
I think Drawabox (google it) handles things in a way that might work for you. It has everything in a lesson-by-lesson format.
No, but you can hire an art instructor or mentor to make one for you and track your progress.

drawabox does exactly that

weve done this thread before fuck off seriously
I need our advice, I'm a shitty artist, trying to copy off of others and going through loomis and drawabox. I'm at the point where I want to draw daily and make money off of that, that's the one thing I enjoy. So I thought getting into tattooing would do the trick, as a lot of tattoo artists aren't real artist. No offence but it seems like you just copy and trace. that's not exactly what i want but it would be a start.
I'm interested in getting a apprenticeship, give me your advice here, what would you as a tattooer like to see? what should...

All of the tattoo artists I've know are egomaniac borderline-junkies. Compliment them, demonstrate that you're competent at producing "tattoo style" work (ie, oldschool sailor jerry crap like your pic related), appear to conform to the copy-trace norm, while perhaps displaying a bit of creativity (but not too much because it would probably turn them off)
Once you're in you can drop the act and start building client relationships, and taking creative liberties with people that trust you...

Please. Talk me out of attempting when all I do is fail and make it worse. I'm so tired of trying. But I keep picking up that fucking stylus and trying again. Same shit different day.
So please artists that are actually worth a damn. Please talk me into stopping this dead-end attempt once and for all.
I need to take the dog out back shoot it and be done with this.

You're not gonna make it.
You're so fat protoss tempests deal bonus damage to you.
You should be wearing two watches because your ass is in two time zones.
I should stop insulting your weight, you probably have enough on your plate.
No body loves you.
Your credit card has been declined.
You will never pay back your student loans.
Van Gogh saw your paintings and wanted his ear back.
Escher has no idea what's going on in your compositions.
Pollock thinks your stuff is too chaotic.
Made this about a year ago. I'm hoping to get some feedback/critique on it.
Woefully ordinary.

How can I get the spark? I want to be able to draw my ideas but I can't get them on paper.
youre suposed to draw on the paper you fag, not going all bernoulli up in that shit
Hey /ic/, need some help picking out a scanner to upload my pages for a graphic novel I am making. I'm using B4 paper, the same as manga artists, for my pages so I roughly need one 12 inches wide 15 inches high, or 12 x 15. Can't find one with those dimensions, only letter sized.
Unless you need a professional grade scanner (in which case be prepared to drop a couple of thousand in it), I'd just grab a multifunction printer that has an A3 scanner, like the Epson Workforce series.
What do you think?
both 100% original
