can we please ban all "is it too late?", "am I too old?" threads? It's fucking pathetic and a total waste of space and time:
It takes about 5 years, give or take, of exceptionally hard work to get to an expert level (by professionals accounts). Unless you think you're going to die in 5 years time, stop posting these annoying fucking threads, instead of working. If you really hate the act of painting so much that you need to distract yourself by making the same thread 3 times a week, then painting obviously isn't for you.
If you just started, you're not going to have an art career in a years time or even two, so stop worrying about and just enjoy the act of making art, you'll feel a lot better for it

Can we please ban all paeodphile OPs? It's fucking disgusting and they're a total waste of oxygen and bandwidth:
It takes about 5 minutes, give or take, of exceptionally easy work to wrap a noose around your neck (by a professional suicide assistant). Unless you think you're not going to die in 5 minutes time, stop and think how you'll fuck up the process and end up in the hospital instead of letting a professional assist you in killing yourself. If you really hate not acting upon your urges of wanting to fuck kids that you need to distract yourself by making threads with pictures of kids every day of the week, then painting obviously isn't for you--perhaps jail?
If you just started wrapping the noose around you, you're not going to have a career in art because you'll be dead, so hurry up and kill yourself. The world will feel a lot better if you did.

The irony here is that only someone with latent pedo urges would look at a picture of fully clothed girls and associate it with pedophilia.
Ban all "THIS ARTIST SUCKS" threads as well.
Anyone know a site that has a large repository of random free poses? I don't mean those quick sketch sites that are designed for gesture drawings. I mean kind of like a search engine or booru of poses that you can use.
googile images gives mixed results and more than often the images are too small or samples that you need to pay for.

yeah sort of, except i was hoping for more of a focus on categories of different types of poses rather than sorted by model.

That's really hot. I really miss pubes.

This is the comfiest grip ever. Is there any way to do something like it on a tablet?
The overhand grip was, traditionally, designed to get a student used to painting with their shoulder and focusing more on accuracy - basically, making them uncomfortable so the have to pay close attention to get the result they desired without being lazy or quick and "chicken scratching" the paint to the destination on a vertical canvas. We don't have that with digital; we have a small pad, which means we don't particularly need our shoulder (as much) and you're likely just going to go back to pen-holding. You may be able to find a specialized pen nibs for it, but it'll be uncomfortable and awkward.
any grip that isn't writing grip is an evidence that society lets the cripple and degenerates to become artists.
>>2397177
might work with a sensel tablet, could just overlay the surface with paper and draw on it with overhand grip like you normally would, but you'd have to use tilt-enabled brushes in photoshop.
Also, the tablet is tiny and it's a kickstarter project.

It'd be wise to resize the image first. 5x3k is too much.
I suppose red should be lit the most, orange halftone, green something between those two. There's also atmospheric perspective, but I know pretty much nothing about it.
>>2399231
You need to know how strong the light is and it's output range.
Look up images of street lamps to get the idea.
Also, learn how to render the five basic shapes.
holy shit, you're trying to learn and make a fucking complicated lighting scenario with multiple light sources
Red is the most lighted areas, then orange, then side of it (but it's not shadow, just less lighted)
to calculate it, imagine a 3D CONE form from the light sources to the floor, everything inside it is bright, closer and perpendicular to the source, brighter material, brighter it will be
you're unlikely to learn anything with that approach, background is shit
How to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome when you draw for 8+ hours per day?

Draw with your shoulder
>>2399055
Shit advice, because its very hard to draw small objects with your shoulder. Also I dont have much space to use it with ease.
>>2399054
do hand exercises and shake out your wrists every so often
Been doodling on this guy for a little over a week. Thoughts?
please leave.
Hi /ic/
I went to a life drawing class on Thursday and was asked to leave after 30 minutes.
Has this happened to anyone here before. Apparently I was creepy.
I'm confused I was in my work clothes, which is smart shirt + trousers.
they can smell your degenerate weeaboo scent
>>2398279
Kek Never happened to me or seen anyone being asked to leave, so dunno, maybe you are creepy, or the model is too shy or the instructor was an asshole or all three.
Provide more info, you lazy faggot.
THE FOUR HOUR COMIC
It's time for another challenge. You have 30 minutes to prepare ideas for a short comic.
After the preliminary planning period, you have four hours to pencil and ink four pages.
Each hour can be spent however you like but they correlate to the pages as timers.
This means that if you have not finished a page at it's one hour mark, stop and move on.
A good way to work is to spend 30 minutes on pencils and 30 minutes on inking per page,
You can do the challenge an hour at a time but it has to all be done within a 24 hour period.
Try to do it all at once with short breaks between so you can stand up and stretch.
All skill levels are welcome and critiques are encouraged.
Explain your thoughts clearly and elaborate on them.
Feel free to share resources. Also, using ref is OK.
Push yourself and see where you really are skill wise.
All mediums are considered acceptable; re-size images.
I know you can draw something interesting.
Time starts...now.

>challenges from people who don't draw

Post your work.
i like the idea. i'll do it.
I'm trying to become a comicbook artist and last night a friend of mine who works at ubisoft (character designer) suggested me this school, it's an international school and apparently its not that expensive for me since i live in europe.
i was just looking for opinions of people who attended the 6 month professional course if there are any here
bumperiño
Nobody here went to any kind of school; they're a bunch of people who pretend to know about art so they can insult people are are trying to learn art.
