Never have I seen this entire board summed up so neatly.
Anyone have recommendations for art blogs that focus on one particular niche/topic/movement in art history?
Here's one that focuses on the presence of snails in classic paintings.

Thanks, OP, Snails are amazing. I cannot recommend anything, though.
Hello /ic/
I must choose a modern artist that is meaningful to me and I am currently stuck choosing.
My favorite artist by far is Rebecca Sugar for her contribution to changes in society and her amazing and unique style.
But on the other side I also like Aidan Hughes, the English artist for KMFDM, who isn't quite as interesting as Rebecca but I would be able to talk about some of his art pieces for a longer period of time due to their impact.
Who do I choose and why? Thanks /IC/

Thread for the beginners
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises. Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up.
Do not forget to PLEASE RESIZE and crop your images before uploading them. 1kpx is fine.
→ → → → Before asking "what should I read/view/study/learn," Read the f*cking sticky, it's there for a reason: >>1579290 → → → →
Questions go in the QUESTION THREAD
This is for posting studies & getting critique.
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're a baddie.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless. (hint: post a cute anime girl if you would like replies)
Respect those giving you advice and if you s*ck know that you'll never make it™.
Old thread: >>2348862 → → → →
how can people like drawing on those rougher sketchbooks? I use a mechanical pencil and it just smudges everywhere. It's even worse that I'm left handed so I'm forced to draw right to left so avoid smudges.
Also, comments? I should probably get into anatomy but I don't know where to start. Most resources seem to just throw at you an anatomy list and expects you to memorize every single muscle in the body.
What size should I resize my shitty beginner shit as?
>>2358876
1000x1000 is fine
Anyone into Super Sculpey?
Posting my work so far
Painting is easier than line art / illustration
>>2350288
made me reply
>>2350288
how so?
>>2350288
Good movie. But then, I like all of Miyazaki's work.
I find line art is easier. For painting, not only do you have to have to have a good grasp of proportion, and how to use positive and negative space, but you also need to understand color theory, understand how light behaves in three dimensions, and be able to visualize all this in layers, going from dark to light and/or light to dark.
I just ordered a couple of the books from the /ic/ guide so I could improve
But since I havn't done any drawing except for digital since school, I was wondering what supplies I should buy?
>>2349393
for just starting
drawing paper, pencil, eraser, sharpener, sketch clipboard
if you wanna render you will need a lot more but at first you shouldnt worry about all that.
Also I recommend deleting this thread and finding a beginner thread to ask these kinds of questions in.
Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
A pencil or bic pen should be all you really need to start.
If you want something a little fancier than standard pencils and pens, I really like the pentel pocket brush pen. Getting some fine liners also doesn't hurt. Maybe a few markers (might be better to stick with a set of greys to start) for tone.
Not new in /ic/ but curius of the d/ic/ks process of drawing. i just take like 15 minutes to do this furry shit.
>>2362456
>i just take like 15 minutes to do this
It certainly looks like that's all you took. What are you asking.
>>2362456
>curius of the d/ic/ks process of drawing
since im a little d/ic/k i don't take too much time in detail or color, i'll typically bust a nut and clean it up and won't give a shit about the rest
time frame 30-40 minutes since i don't want to rush already shit art
vilppu
I know art schools are looked down on here but, I'm planning to hop into a vocational art school if my all my current uni applications fail. Can I get into one without any art foundation?
>>2361603
>Can I get into one without any art foundation?
LOL sure.
your options are fine art bullshit garbage and/or pay a fuckton of tuition.
>>2361603
>without any art foundation?
tried that, didn't work
get a job which allows you to have time for drawing and just do it
>>2361629
Art school is more fun. Work is so boring you'll lose the will to live and never draw.
For fuck sake do illustration or something practical
I did a sculpture degree that required no trad skills . Fml now
Anyone who is in the NYC area check out the Picasso Sculpture Exhibition? Thoughts?
Reminder that the Exhibition is still up and ending early February. So definitely check it out while you still can! It was pretty swell.
Guess I will do a bump with a different material each time.
Lurking. Keep posting man I'm quite interested.
O yea it was pretty cool
Artists who get popular on Tumblr improve far less than anyone else I've ever seen. After all, why put effort into improving or studying when you have thousands of followers willing to harass anyone who tells your art is less than perfect?
Anyways, what about them makes it so easy to pick out "tumblr artists" when browsing the internet? I find myself spotting them frequently whether I want to or not.
Nice job living under a rock for 4 years
Which people started the spread of this kind of artstyle, anyway? Can it be traced back to any specific propagators?
>>2357903
Don't know it began, but it's pretty obvious the "tumblr" style is just being hipsters toward the Anime style.
"different is better" is the mindset.
Any of you guys have any weird art rituals/practices.
Like how i always go for a jog midway through my work.
I bathe my paper in my semen and let it dry before i do any work
>>2362116
I should probably start practicing some strange majicks to get my ass working.
>>2362116
I spend 4 hours shitposting on 4chan before I start anything

Post your current drawing here and give constructive critique to others!
Please make sure your posted image is clear, downsized to around 1000 pixels wide, rotated to the correct orientation, and that any unused space is cropped.
If you want critique on a drawing from the previous thread, you can delete it there and repost in this one.

no matter how much Bob Ross I watch, I still get the same feeling
pls can you help me /ic/ , ?
Listen cousin Ivan.
Paint is craft, like hammering of nail. However rather than bear protection hovel it is fashioning of pretty picture. Let not yourself be deceived by the women emotions pretty pictures replace your balls with though Ivan. No, painting is a craft, like hammer nail. To hammer nail, one simply must lean to hammer nail. Everyday Ivan, you hammer nail. It matter's little if women emotions tell you hammer nail is not what you shall do today, should this be what action you take, you will become bear's fucktoy. Likewise, Cousin Ivan, if you fail to draw everyday, you pictures will be not pretty, they will be garbage or simply not exist, fit only for the insulation of bear protection hovel or the wall of eternal shame.
You hammer nail
You paint picture
These are what a man dose Ivan. He dose them not because the whim of woman emotions flow him into the ovaries of inspiration but rather because his testicular fortitude is great, and he does what he does for discipline, da discipline cousin Ivan, courses through his veins like his .3% blood alcohol level.
Let yourself be driven not by your ovaries but by your balls you fucking pussy Ivan.
>>2358383
What he said.
Starting is the hardest part, and at a close second is gitting gud. But to git gud, you have to start man.
>>2358367
what kind of beta pussy ass faggot are you.
forget about painting for now though, if you haven't even overcome the fear of the blank paper you need to become a better drawer for now.
