Any chance some of you friendly anons knows where to find an extremely high definition pic of this painting? Cheers!

You can do an image search on google and filter by sizes. Wikimedia commons sometimes has good resolution images. Try also the Internet Archive.

biggest i found so far.
Thanks but it's not nearly enough high res, I want to reproduce it in every detail
Usually I do fine, I make some art, I never ever like what I make, but I see its better than last time, I see what I need to work on and try to do better next time.
But every once in awhile I just totally crash and burn, and think Ill never be good enough, that I wont ever be successful because I didnt go to Scad or Calarts or because I dont have 50000 followers on tumblr. I always compare myself to other artists and hate myself for not being as good as them. I practice as much as I can in my free time, but if I ever do something else, like go out or play vidya I feel guilty for not practicing 24/7. I hate myself for not being successful.
Im not trying to blogpost , I just want to know if anyone else does this shit to themselves, and what the best way to deal with it is. I think Im gonna end up an heroing one day cause of this shit.

best is to quit art.
>>2350027
I'm going through this right now too, OP. It doesn't help that it seems like the times when you feel this way, your drawings seem to really turn out shitty if you muster up the strength to even draw something. I have no idea how to deal with this kind of thing. Usually I just wallow for a bit, watch tv/movies/youtube/whatever or play vidya and just try to clear my head, then load up on coffee and try to draw something and just try not to think. Listening to podcasts helps with the not thinking part. The best advice I've ever gotten is to break the bad train of thought by hyper focusing on the present, even to the point of mentally narrating what you're currently physically doing. Godspeed, op.
Ask yourself, why do you draw? Do you have a certain goal? Being an artist is communicating what we want from our minds through a medium. It doesnt matter if you're a chef, painter, musician ect. We are just learning to use our instrument and tools to convey the message. You have potential, everyone here does. You feel this way because you compare yourself to others, so dont. If not you should strive to be better than them. 4chan isnt the best website because >>2350045 . Shit like this is discouraging and will let you down. Take the advice we share and use it for what seems best for you. Put yourself in an enviorment that doesnt make you want to kill yourself. Improve on your flaws and enjoy drawing for yourself op.

Oh shit I was trying to look up this process last week, thank you so much for saying the name of it.
/IC/ how to paint with acrylics right?
All the time then Im trying to paint with them I end up with really bad plastic rendering.
Any suggestions on paints, boards/canvases, brushes?
woah that's nice rendering. gotta try that shit too. can I ask what is your process? simplified version would do.
perhaps you gotta try different style from one of the traditional artists. like monet, cezanne or van gogh.
don't let their medium (usually oil painting) restrict you from trying it out in acrylic style.
for texture, gesso paint can help out and experiment with it. crumpled paper (gotta be wet or dry but should be flattened) can be applied though after using glue and 2 years of latex paint just to make sure it won't fall off.
mixed media shit is full of possibilities.
>>2353254
This is not mine sudenly.
I just post this for attention and example what I want to achieve.
Will practicing sculpting be any use to a painter/drawer? Aside from studying light. I know Loomis said the skills are somewhat interchangeable
Either way, what would be a good way to get started?
I was actually just about to make a thread on this. Hoping for some answers as I'm interested in getting into figure sculpting.
>>2353057
OP here, from what I gathered Super sculpey is an ideal clay, and I that anatomy for sculptors book is SUGOI.

>as it turns out, our brains process digital reading very differently. Manoush Zomorodi, managing editor and host of WNYC's New Tech City, recalls a conversation with the Washington Post's Mike Rosenwald, who's researched the effects of reading on a screen. “He found, like I did, that when he sat down to read a book his brain was jumping around on the page. He was skimming and he couldn’t just settle down. He was treating a book like he was treating his Twitter feed," she says.Neuroscience, in fact, has revealed that humans use different parts of the brain when reading from a piece of paper or from a screen. So the more you read on screens, the more your mind shifts towards "non-linear" reading — a practice that involves things like skimming a screen or having your eyes dart around a web page.
>“They call it a ‘bi-literate’ brain,” Zoromodi says. “The problem is that many of us have adapted to reading online just too well. And if you don’t use the deep reading part of your brain, you lose the deep reading part of your brain.”
>So what's deep reading? It's the concentrated kind we do when we want to "immerse ourselves in a novel or read a mortgage document,” Zoromodi says. And that uses the kind of long-established linear reading you don't typically do on a computer. “Dense text that we really want to understand requires deep reading, and on the internet we don’t do that.”
>“I don’t worry that we’ll become dumb because of the Internet,” Wolf says, "but I worry we will not use our most preciously acquired deep reading processes because we’re just given too much stimulation. That’s, I think, the nub of the problem.”
To keep the deep reading part of the brain alive and kicking, Zomorodi says that researchers like Wolf recommend setting aside some time each day to deep read on paper.

i prefer owning physical copies of the books.
>>2350907
I own tons of art books myself but I often use .pdfs out of convenience.
>>2350910
pdfs arent bad, i just work a lot. so i like to bring my backpack with a few of them so i can read while i'm out on breaks.
