that being said why don't you remove those hard lines and let the audiences brains do the work?
Keep those less frequent dots where there is light and more frequent dots where it's darker. Just remove those lines and see what it looks like
also white power.
Hey, guys as I mentioned in the Super Pose Book thread that used to exist I ordered all 24 Super Pose Books, well 10 have arrived now and another 13 are on their way from CDJapan and 1 is still on preorder.
I've got a knife ready to start cutting the pages out the binding but I still don't have a scanner. I asked you guys what scanner to get but you told me I was a liar, I forgive you.
So what scanner should I get? Cost isn't a concern.
>>2358281
Fuck off faggot we know you won't deliver so piss off.
>>2358281
>I've got a knife ready to start cutting the pages out the binding but I still don't have a scanner.
lmao do your research before lying bruh
>>2358288
What do you mean? Shouldn't I cut the pages out? Is there a better way?
Ctrlpaint says PS should be modified in the preferences for better painting, but not how, are the defaults good or should i tweak them ?
>>2374323
you'll figure it out as you go along.

Uh, I think you kind of screwed up the face and maybe the shoulder, the left one is a bit high?
But I'm a complete noob and have a very weak grasp of perspective/portions/angles.
If it weren't for the other stuff ( hair, armor etc)
I wouldn't know it is Guts, judging by only the face
Other than that, it's good, GRIFFFIIIIIIITH, Zodd, the details, everything looks nice.
>>2372779
exactly the same opinion from me. that Gutts face is so fucking bad that it's hilarious. but surprisingly others look just fine.
>>2372752
Zodd and Skull are passable, Guts looks absolutely amateur, who is that animu face? Casca? It looks flat out retarded, Femto is weird. How did you allow such Guts is beyond me.
Hey /ic/ I was wonder what is a decent digital art program for beginners. Is there anything out there that gives me the essentials, but isn't too complicated for me to use? Thanks in advance.
anon the only programs out there that are not complicated are microsoft paint and programs that are stripped of their essentials(for painting anyways).
so start learning which ever from this list
Photoshop**(painting priority)
Sai**(Line,ink shitty for painting)
Manga studio(painting,inking,line but tools are garbage)
TVpaint**(animation,painting,line,ink all sorts of stuff, but if you wana get through this damn thing you need to read the manual)
Gimp**(painting,line,ink its a buggy program however)
Krita**(painting, line, ink,animation its a buggy program)
Jasc Paint**(painting priority it has all the stuff that makes a drawing program)
all of these programs have the same capabilities from the core, but some lack different functions to manually change pressure, tilt and all that jazz from your tablet.
>>2364536
If there were such a thing as a drawing app for beginners, I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. Just go for photoshop and ignore the stuff you don't understand yet, don't pay for it tho.
>>2364550
Worth mentioning the open-source freebies in this list, namely Krita and Gimp. They may have bugs (all programs do) but development is constant and open for observation.
>>2364536
that program is corel painter is intuitive as fuck new version 2015 is even more intuitive
Thoughts?
>>2374010

>tfw memes are taking over art's role
>tfw memes contain more social commentary than contemporary art
>tfw the democratization of art is becoming a reality
>>2371389
It worries me not. I look at art because I like to see pretty stuff, or for strong storytelling, not to be told for the 2500th that I should care about women rights and and fight against the reptilian illuminati government. Memes rarely give me that "Oh god that looks gorgeous" or "I'm feeling so many emotions right now" kind of deal.
>>2371389
Blog?
>>2371408
take a step back
How important is drawing ability for painting? I remember some artist saying that "Painting is 90% drawing", but I'm ok with drawing and have a lot of difficulty with painting, especially oils.
>>2370018
You'll only be able to paint as well as you can draw. However, an encouraging spin on it is that painting is simply drawing with color.
The rules of value, form and hue still apply.
Try a 2 color painting with a warm and cool hue, identifying form and shadow and getting a feel for the medium.
>>2370018
You are probably not as okay as you think.
>>2370129
This. You're probably bad at drawing. If not, it just takes practice. Study values, colors and general technique.
What does /ic/ think of an artists like Phil Hale who works exclusively with reference and still manages to put out creative illustrations? I know E.M. Gist who does oil painted comic book covers also uses reference every time. Not to mention all the contemporary figurative fine artists.
Does the "using reference is cheating" meme hold any weight at all?
It's not cheating, it's limiting. If you can only draw a pose in front of you, how the fuck will you ever make a creative composition?
good luck making a fucking comic book or something.
>>2366196
I agree that it is limiting when it comes to composition, you're at the mercy of what you can do with the model and lighting, or the photo. But to be fair if you're going for a certain level of realism not having a reference can be limiting as well.
I'm not saying it's impossible to make things look realistic without reference but it's at a much lesser degree than someone who uses reference. Take someone like Frazetta who worked from imagination, his illustrations are great and obviously he had incredible knowledge of light and the human body but even then you can tell they are designed from imagination right away.
>>2366191
Regardless of what /ic/ says the majority of professional artists use reference. Everyone on here thinks that using reference means sitting there and making a photocopy then changing a few details but that's not how you use it. You come up with your idea and find reference to help you add believability, whether that's rendering and texturing, posing, coloring, whatever and that's applicable to hyper realistic art as well as the simplest cartoons. Even once you learn your fundamentals, reference will always be a valid tool for enhancing your work and the more you use it the more you'll be able to do without relying on it. Using reference also doesn't mean composing an entire picture out of it to copy, so you won't always be referencing everything in a picture anyway if you're going about it right. Using reference has been the industry standard for a long time and /ic/ needs to let go of the false belief that using reference = copying, and great or pro artists don't use ref.
Just ordered the artbook revolutionary road by luis quiles
What do you think about his critical art?
>>2365561
I wish my penis was for sale, this is so unfair.
>>2365561
that clown is unable to draw, make an intelligent social commentary, or even choose an original title.
>>2365637
>luis quiles
he reveals The Ugly Side Of Society In Controversial Illustrations
well -_-?
Your post doesn't warrant separate thread. Delete it and post in Beginner thread or wherever.
>>2372349
-_- i seek to obtain actual "feedback" - not merely inflate the ego of "thread dynamics" ... if you truly believe in this "master thread" sort of concept, perhaps you should take it up with 4chans webmaster and get him to implement it as a rule.
until then i will make use of the functionality that allows my art to recieve the most feedback as possible: aka: having it be in its own thread -_-
it makes no sense to obstrusfucate the location of my art by burrowing it into an irrelevant general on a slow board -_-... regardless, i intend to be utilizing this board as it was intended; each artpiece gets its own thread. -_-
>>2372348
-_- nice bait -_- OP -_-
