Has anyone ever gone to SUNY Fit? Also what major were you? Describe your experience and any negative things please.
>>2413014
Didn't go to SUNY Fit but I went to SUNY ACC so I'm only commenting here to warn people to never go to SUNY ACC in Queensbury, NY. It's garbage. The teachers are meh, the staff is absolutely retarded. Just don't do it.
>>2413014
It's literally girls and gay guys there, but take what I say with a grain of salt since it's only what I've heard about the place

Less competition i guess
I expect nothing good to come out of this but whatever.
I used to -try- to draw something pretty, spending hours on polishing a turd.
Now I just consider it an expendable hobby and anything that takes more than 1 hour is a bad case.
So the question is, what, if any, practices are sensible to adopt that doesn't stretch the time window yet still open up for improvement? Adjusted for low ambitions preferably, Surely I'd benefit from spending 700 hours studying X but my ambitions here are to populate drawthreads more than high end new york galleries.
tl;dr What's a high ROI if you want to spend as little time as possible per piece?
I just mainly scribble shit in a sketchbook now, might refine a bit

No matter what, if you want to draw at least somewhat decently you'll need to study some fundamentals or use reference. There is no secret ingredient to making you work take less time or look better without practice.
Art is a skill and skills take time to learn, improve upon and perfect.
Want a sensible practice? Do some gesture before you sit down to draw. Good for warmup, especially if you plan to draw people.
The faster you stop fighting it and just learn the fundamentals the better though. You'll have less headaches and less fights about your "style" and shit if you can learn the basics.

look at that symbol drawing nonsense
this guy needs loomis bad
What's most important for character design? I have an idea on how I like the character's to look but I'm having trouble with some of the more masculine ones and differentiating their facial features. Some are easier than others due to how different I've made the eyes face shape of body design. I would like to create a comic for a story that's been written. What are some things I can do to get better grasp of the characters before going in to combing them in to a composition for comic. Will be posting more character references for who will be included. All open for critique on design aspects.
Stop making OCs
Use photo references of real people and draw caricatures of their facial features. Draw costumes from many different cultures and time periods in order to build a repertoire of visual cues. Do gesture drawings to get comfortable with anatomy and poses. Don't be afraid to radically redesign something if its not coming together.

just because I posted it in the other thread: "Simplified Drawing for Planning Animation" could help. For the guy stuff get a book about drawing guys.
What is required bare minimum for the fucks on ic to NOT label something as symbol drawing? Based on what I have seen, people can construct a face, no shading, just the lines/etc. And people would be quick to say OMG SYMBOL DRAWING. Or that one dude who drew an eye, no shading, people were shitting on him going omg symbol drawing, when he clearly stated he didn't render the eye/was drawing what he saw.
Why is this board so shitpost oriented?
>>2412196
>implying /ic/ has some kind of hivemind that decides if you are symbol drawing or no
learn to ignore bullshit critiques.

if you can't even tell the dif between symbol drawing or not off yourself

I can tell the difference

i'm sorry.
Yoo. I'd like some advice. I've been trying to break into digital painting now for a while, and i'm just not very good at it. For illustration, it's always just clicked naturally the more i practice, and I never really needed instruction. Just having fun with it was more efficient than being taught.
It seems like this is NOT the case for digital painting. I keep trying and it's just not getting to that point where i'm good enough that i can try new things and have fun with it.
Also, this is probably because I started with pen/ink illustration, but i literally cannot paint shit without lineart as a guideline, which is frustrating.
Any tips that helped you gitgud would be greatly appreciated, or just your general opinion on the matter (maybe digital painting just isn't for me? will it come with time? etc).
I'll dump some of my art as well so you can see what I mean.
And i apologize in advance if i made any mistakes, first time posting on this board.
This is probably the best thing i've painted without lineart, and i couldn't do it again if i tried. Also relying on one color is the only reason it looks halfway decent.
Japanse manga artists/illustrators that you guys know are on instagram?
I'm trying to fill up my insta feed with good stuff and not the cancer on #trending
Only artist I have right now is @kimjunggius...
I follow Junko Mizuno on Instagram.
@14mountain
>tfw I work downtown and have walked around for two lunch breaks now with a sketchbook and pen hidden under arm in jacket not having enough balls to sit on a bench somewhere and start drawing.
How do I do it bros? I don't want to look like a faggot. I'm not good but I want to get better.
Just do it, you get over the fear.
Getting gud helps too cause then you're less worried about people seeing your garbo drawings.
Just remember that unless this is in a town with a population of 2,000, you're unlikely to ever see any of these people again and they're highly unlikely to give two shits about you or what you're doing.
Are you 13? You just sit down and draw. People don't care about you. You could be fucking choking to death and most people would just walk past you.
I am completely lost on this, I have to write a formal analysis on Claude Monet's "Fisherman's Cottage on the Cliffs at Varengeville"
I am having a hard time finishing. It has to be 4 pages, I am at 2 and completely stuck.
Please halp ;_;
talk about the history behind the piece, techniques & medium used, compostion (i.e. shape design, value structure, color relationships/temperature, placement of light and shadow etc...) compare it to other pieces of his work & that of other impressionists, analyze the critical response.
or just do what every liberal arts student does and make up random bullshit.
>>2412752
thanks, this helps. I'll try to do some of both.
>>2412752
Wow, no that's exactly what you do not write about in a formal analysis. You're focusing on the work and the work alone, OP. Pretend like it was created in a vacuum. Write about how the artist uses the elements of art, how they complement each other or which ones he uses dominantly. Start generally then work your way down to specifics. I usually start with composition, then eye direction, color, and finally brushwork for a Monet.
Any good drawing apps I had sketchbook on my note 3 but now they fucked with it and its so different. Just looking for something that has layers
BAMP
Seriously, fuck auto desk. I paid for their app back then and now they made it free with IAP for the same old features. Right now, artflow is my fav because it stimulates pen pressure even if you have no pressure sensitive screen. it also has a lot of nice pen modes for free. if i were to compare it to a desktop software it would be similar to corel painter and you can simulate the traditional feel. medibang is good for what it's worth (free) but the pen pressure isn't as good. if you only draw stylized medibang is good. Both have layers mode and all that shit.
This is Medibang. and I'm testing the main pens and brushes ...and I'm seriously fed up with it. I tried using the save function but i couldn't find anything in my document list. Also notice the strokes, they're pretty clean and vector-esque. I tried applying the same force variation to all of them.
How do you clean, store, and generally maintain your stuff? Do you have your own eccentric way or do you stick with convention (whatever the hell that may be)?
Kind of a dumb question but I just bought one of these things to sharpen my charcoal pencils and I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with them. I was thinking of getting a toothbrush (because they're cheap and waterproof) to sweep the charcoal off as much as possible and then I could just keep it in a plastic bag maybe. Is that weird?

dude just get yourself some sandpaper of various grades and rcperminet, going along with this tools for artsy fartsy people is not good for your health.
i jut get my family to not throwaway any boxes, jars, containers. that way i end up with something nice to keep my stuff in.
>>2412686
>going along with this tools for artsy fartsy people is not good for your health.
Believe me I know.
Even if I got the throw away ones I'd still have to store them until they got wore out though. I already have this thing so I need to figure out how to work with it for the time being, it works great but the charcoal really gets caked on there and I don't want to throw it in with the rest of my stuff in that condition. Maybe I'm just being neurotic.
I'm trying to find a chinese realist/impressionist painter, I think I saw his work on facebook a year or two back. His work was masterful and had very complex compositions involving a lot of people. I remember a scene on a ship, similar to pick related but painted beautifully. Any cool ass anons know who I might be talking about?
Anyone? Bump for world peace
Mian Situ, maybe... Was the guy a traditional or digital painter also?
>>2412904
Thanks. It could very well be him, my memory is a bit hazy. He has atleast one painting that fits the description. Some nice plein airs too. Almost completely sure that the guy is a traditional artist only.
some of my work
this is the flyer for my upcoming art show that will be held at a gallery in the premier art district in my city. i am showing with my girl. tell me what you think?
It doesn't include a location, which is a problem. Is the graphic in the middle representative of the kind of art that'll be shown there? If not, I would advise swapping it out for a sample of a piece at the show. Also this may be a personal preference, but I would get rid of the drop shadow at least on the names and musical guest lines.
Also it's a personal pet peeve in graphic design when a new font is used on every line, but that's just me.
>>2412270
the location was intentionally omitted
Drop all the shadows behind logos and typography. That shit is tacky as fuck and looks like it came straight out of the 90s. Especially that ugly shadow inside the logo on the top is ridiculous.
Also, too many fucking fonts. Stick to 3 at most. I'd also drop the Mickie and Chauncey font. It's a pretty terrible sans serif. The black gradient around the shape is also distasteful.
Hey,
Just starting to draw.
Having a really hard time with the left side of images. Did I have a stroke and not even know?
Op u don't have the spark.
you have stage 4 terminal autism.
I'm sorry.
Is this a new meme?
