Do I need to be skilled at maths to understand perspective and vanishing points?
My head burns whenever I look at pics like the pic related, or try to read a tutorial. My brain goes blank.
Is this something you understand eventually after drawing from references without understanding the logic? Sorry for whining a lot but I'm afraid I'm stuck at drawing people from one point of view for eternity.

Maths? Really? I gave up on maths after learning fucking calculus.
(Almost) Everything you need to know is:
>Parallel lines ain't parallel.
They converge into a vanishing point.
> Horizon line is always on the eye-level.
> All vanishing points go to the horizon line (unless they don't).
Read Perspective made Easy + Perspective for Comic Book artists. But actually read the books!

Thanks, anon. I have actually ordered Perspective for Comic Book Artists already, will get the other one, too.
>>2600193
Pictures like those can seem intimidating, but perspective is easy to understand once you get the jargon out of the way.
All that image is really showing is that there's a bunch of cuboids (basically 3D rectangles) that are all the same, but LOOK different because of their placement in the image. If you extend the parallel lines of these shapes (which is what the image is doing with those extended lines), they'll eventually (appear to) meet. Where they appear to meet is the vanishing point.

Hey 4chan community, I don't know if this is the right place to post this but if someone could help me find the template for this tattoo or even who did it, that would be awesome!
Your kind's not welcome round here, boia
Ah, please do point me in the right direction then, pleb.
>>2604063
What do you want the "template" for?
Your tattoo artist should be able to do what you want if you give them that pic.
a few weeks back i posted here a digital painting of mine, and i got a lot of critique that i got the lightning and colors bad.
should i consider this a slight improvement ?
only serious answers pls. (i know the fine details, composition and others are still shit)
Compared to what?
Also you already have the beginner and drawthread
>>2604101
compared to this
>>2604062
I don't see any lightning
I have never found anything wrong with him, am I missing something?

Eceleb threads are fucking cancer
That being said, he's simply a mediocre artist. He seems to have a good grasp of the fundamentals and when he sticks to realism hes fine but his style is just terrible
>>2603303
He knows his shit but his taste and style is shit.
He somehow made himself regress when he decided to learn his new style. Everything he draws is way too stiff and not very appealing to look at.
>>2603305
>He seems to have a good grasp of the fundamentals
This is actually why I don't like his artwork, because he does not have a good grasp of the fundamentals. His lines are "shaky", there's not enough confidence in his strokes, and even in recent drawings he will still make chicken-scratch marks for "hard" curves. It's sad. Obviously, some of his drawings are good, but most of his work is either bad or mediocre.
All in all, not worth paying...

Why is every beginner thread start with a stupid human face or body
Do any of the poster realise how overly difficult that is for a novice to draw that realistically
It should start from still life with simple shapes
So that they can slowly move into more complex
Geometric object
Anyone that is REALLY new to art in here hear my advice.
DO NOT START FROM DRAWING & SHADING FACES. If you are discouraged by lack of progress IT IS normal CAUSE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
If anyone on this website says you did't work hard enough they are unsympathetic...

>Why is every beginner thread start with a stupid human face or body
Because its more fun than a still life.
However I agree that Still life teaches some important stuff. seeing shapes and shadows, linecontroll and how to measure to name some

This is pretty true ime, senpai. I fell for the Loomis meme and got real deep into Drawing the Heads and Hands well before I was ready, ended up giving up on it because I just couldn't make it work, and just started drawing simple objects around my house like chairs and fruit and shit, and came back to Loomis a few months later and was blown away with how much better I understood it. Loomis is good but shitposting him like people do on this board...

posting my artist... challenge thing here i guess
>>2598656
Last official picture I drew for a while. Any tips? Critiques? I wanna redraw this someday....
Not sure if this is more of a graphic design question but ow do I achieve effects like this?
Do I need to know algorithms or are there tools in photoshop to pull it off? Anyone have any tutorials?
>>2603935
make a 3D model and put texture on it
Liquify will work.

So I bought a medium Intuos Pro with the intent to learn to draw with it - thinking, that if I learned how to draw on it, that it'd ultimately work in my favor for what I'd like to do (digital art, 3d sculpting, similar), instead of following a more traditional method.
Unfortunately, I'm a lazy asshole who procrastinates on everything, so I've had this great piece of equipment for the last year, and have pulled it out probably less than a dozen times. Over the last few months, I've been working actively to improve myself and to stop acting like a child, but I still don't have the necessary foundational skills to properly utilize this tablet, plus, my hand-eye coordination between a tablet and a monitor has not been developed enough, though I know that comes with time using it.
My choices are:
A. Put my time into something else and appreciate actual artists work.
B. Sell the tablet and go to a traditional pen-and-paper method until I'm decent enough to consider a tablet again (probably a few years of actual study, imo)
C. Stick it out with the tablet.
Thoughts?
Side note, the tablet is in damn near new condition, still have original packaging. If I sold it, I'm hoping to get $250-300 for it, since brand new is $350, and it looks like these guys retain their value. If I sell it, my next tablet would likely be one of those little Intuos Draw ones for under $100, just to keep photoshop editing skills up.

>>pic sorta, but not really related.
Really getting sick of seeing these simpsons image macros.
>>2603784
Yeah man, me too. Glad it caught your eye though.
Should I buy some body figures to use as reference or are they a waste of money? They're pretty expensive but it seems like they might be of great use.
could be of good use, but for me personally, resources like figure drawing websites and 2D references always help but yeah if you feel strongly that itll help you improve then buy 'em
>>2598677
Never have found them more useful than photo reference or 3d models. If you need a better grasp on a pose you're drawing, act it out yourself and/or take photos of yourself with a webcam.

What do you think of modern art?
honest opinion plase
>>2595208
Modern as in "art of today" or modern as in modern art movement? Because some people have been using them both around me lately and it's been confusing.
As for either? Meh. Seems like shock art is too popular today (which really just makes art less seriously taken because it attracts all the talentless "edgy" kids.
>>2595208
It's shit, next.
>>2595208
I like the classical painters AND the abstract expressionists and 90% inbetween. I have seen very few conceptual artworks I thought were actually intelligent though.
I enjoy a work by Millais or Rembrandt as I would Shakespeare or Melville, and I enjoy a Pollock like I would a poem from John Ashbery. I have far more respect for the former but the latter has a time, a place, and a mood where I can enjoy it immensely.

Well most of the filters are brainless shit but I can't figure out the one called dreams

why should you be sad you got surpassed by an entity with infinitely more resources than you. Calculators have been able to do math far more complex, cars go faster, machines are more efficient. AIs are nothing more than another tool. It's what we do with these tools that ultimately matters.
