Just picked this up, I thought itd be another one of those shitty "draw a dog with just 5 lines!" books but its actually gold and teaches a good ammount of fundamentals very well
>ITT: Gems you wish you knew earlier
This is the best perspective book I have ever read, unfortunately I only came across it when I already understood everything in it. Another great one is foundations in comic book art which is the best book on fundamentals Ive seen yet. If you could combine these with something on colour and something on anatomy on would have a hell of a curriculum.
>>2340515
That's the worst loomis book.
Anyways Michael Hampton is definitely the best at teaching construction
She is pretty good and is streaming now!

Hello
why don't be have a sticky thread with job /commissions listed?? wouldn't that help the /ic/ community ? even if people dont want to admit it /ic/ is a community its the first tab i open when i turn my pc on.
>>2350895
>/ic/
>community
baka desu senpai
>>2350899
so you don't want commissions?
>>2350895
1. a fear of competition
2. feels of inadequacy
thread dies.
Getting my first tattoo. Looking for some inspiration!
>>2335564
This is very nice. I like the idea of tattooing the negative space rather than the positive.

im gonna redraw this right side up right now and make it a new meme.
i take a ride in the "self-promotion" thread and just "stalk" all the "artists" in the replies but i just found this in one.
The portrait pic is obviouslly a more detailed work, not perfect but is more complex and the artist dont get any like/reblog.
then the second thing, is like he just put the wacom pencil in his ass and start scratching in the tablet and he got 11 "notes (not a big number, i know)
why this happen? is this easy "sucess" as artist? just drawing shitty porn for normie people?
>>2349215
yes
>>2349215
fanart by default gets more likes, because the audience is greater. see the #Slpatoon hashtag? people will like it just because they like the character, not the drawing.
Have you ever regarded someone in the same way a man might find a painting of a woman beautiful but not erotic?
A purely kind of aesthetic appreciation.
>>2350034
Yeah, a man in the mirror.
>>2350038
You should probably get the man out of your mirror
>>2350038
that's me btw
What is the trick to copying Bargue plates?
Does Anyone know of a good guide or tutorial?
>>2348791
Look up Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme's course book
>>2348791
>trick
Just visually measure shit. There is no easy way out if you want to draw well.
He tells you exactly how to do it over about 5 pages before all the plates. Do you have the pdf or just jpg of the plates? Also helps a lot to print it out and have it next to your drawing rather than looking at it on a screen
Is drawing a portrait of the girl you love creepy?
>>2344663
if she isn't into you as well, yes absolutely
people who don't want to be drawn by you won't ask
>>2344663
>>2344673
How do you feel about people drawing others like when they're on the bus or at a restaurant?
Just curious
I don't personally know anyone that is into drawing and I don't have many friends in general so I was thinking of joining my campus' art club.
Is this a bad idea? Have you joined a similar club?
>>2351080
at least it isn't the anime club
If it's an art club, probably would be cool, if it's anime based, you would quickly end up hating art
>>2351080
All clubs are normie hook-up centrals.
Has anyone here worked or personally known someone who has worked at an art supplies store? Is it reallt as shitty as I hear it is? Did they to to art school before working there?
I have a friend who works at one while attending art school. She really likes it. What have you heard about it being terrible?
can't imagine it's any worse than regular retail
>why don't you carry xxx? can't do my shit project without xxx. let me talk to a manager reeeeee
>can i use a coupon on these
>can i use ebt on these
>people who bring a bunch of shit up to the pos and decide not to get anything
retail a shit
If I'm a NEET how many hours a day should I study arting?
All of them
>>2350752
Alright so like what? Draw for an hour and take a 30 minute break and rinse and repeat?
>>2350761
No, draw for 30 minutes ant take 1 hour break.
Don't forget to shitpost on /ic/.
How do I get rid of my ego?
Many times when I'm painting I think about the likes I'm going to get on Facebook when I post the drawing. I hate this feel.
>>2349916
>caring
its normal to like being liked (in a non-facebook way) in fact it can be great motivation to improve.
there's no need to kill off your ego unless you're a giant douchebag. being proud of yourself is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
Finding satisfaction in getting lots of likes isn't the problem - the problem is when you get lots of likes and assume it's because you're hot shit, then going and telling everyone what hot shit you are. "Why should I listen to you when I get more likes than you lol" shit like that. That's when your ego gets in the way and makes you an intolerable shit to everyone around you.
>>2349916
>Finding satisfaction in getting lots of likes isn't the problem
That is the problem, Anon. As a matter of fact it is the root cause of the problem, when you draw you draw for yourself not how many upboats you'll get.
What would /ic/ do if they won the Powerball lottery? It's up to 1.5 Billion dollars right now.
Would you still try and git gud? Would you still try and make it professionally? Would you use your new fortune to finance your dream art project?
>100 on top
>the rest is ones
lol
>>2345028
I would go to FZD school.
>>2345028
To add a more definitive spin to your question:
At the new year party at our local crafts/arts workshop everyone was, in fact, given a state loto ticket (just fot shit and giggles, largely, but, hey — you never know).
If I would have won I would probably spend a large chunk of it to get large-scale glassworking equipment installed, glassblowing lathe, etc.
How true is this?
I made that picture a while ago, I'm surprised someone saved it. I believe there is some truth to it. Did you save it from here or from elsewhere? I'd like to know how far it may have spread if at all.
>>2343448
its been re-posted quite a lot on this board alone.
>>2343448
got sauce on the bottom pic? What are they doing?
