Various poses/etc come up, how would I learn to draw these? I can somewhat visualize a pose, but that goes for thousands of different poses/angles but I can never draw them accurately. How does one go about learning to draw all these various poses? Is it practicing that one pose over and over till it's ingrained? Or is there a way to generalize ?
>>2341167
read the sticky. Gesture drawing. god damn you.
theres a question thread btw.
>>2341171
Not OP but what the hell are we supposed to discuss? If questions go in the question thread and beginner stuff goes in the beginner thread thats like 70% of the board. it just seems like every other comment is telling people where their questions and stuff should go.
>>2341191
Because that is where they should go. Your argument is what? You want the board to be messier?
Fucking what.
I see there's already two tattoo threads up, but I want to start a bit of a discussion as well. Is pic related too feminine looking? I want to get this, but I may like another design better. Can anyone sketch up something similar? My tattoo guy is out of town for the next week so I can't get a hold of him. Also, post feminine tattoos and their masculine counterparts.
>>2341031
shitty taste to be honest, not very appealing and positioning lacks to be desired. find something more along the lines of your quirks, not a cute insect cuz thats one of the few things youve been exposed to as an option.
>>2341033
I get it. It's an odd tattoo, but I come from /co/ and it draws from a character called the Blue Beetle.The subject and area of the tattoo are pretty important
>>2341036
why not using a sicker beetle?
I really want one of these so I can sketch anywhere and draw on the go without carrying a crazy big sketchbook. Is it worth it? How good can you draw with it? I've been researching th whole of this week and I'm about to get one so far everyone says it's amazing for a drawing tool.
why not a sketchbook
if you're questioning spending 800 pounds on something to maybe use on the go I think you already got your answer
I post a similar response in all these iPad threads
It depends a lot on your workflow and how much time you spend in the iOS ecosystem. If you are a heavy iPad user, then the drawing / sketching capabilities are a great addition to your usual iPad activities.
Personally, I had a strong aversion to going digital, but the iPad makes it much more convenient to start a digital drawing. Also, I'm no pro, so apps like procreate give me more than enough functionality. I use about 50% of the procreate features and about 6% of PS.
I already spend 8 hrs a day at the computer, so when I go home the last thing I want to do is to spend 3-4 more hours with intuous at the computer. I can draw during my 4-5 hrs of commuting (but I usually sleep instead) or I can draw on the couch while watching movies.
But I still prefer traditional over digital

right
Note: I am talking about NON-AMERICAN countries where you can major in Medicine, Dentistry, etc as an UNDERGRADUATE)
Some high school students who got extremely good grades in their finals (i.e. good enough for Medicine in non-American countries) decide to major in Fine Art. Why is that?
>Job market for Fine Art is super bad
>Every job has its own terrible aspects and most people hate their jobs over time
>Really, all jobs are repetitive and become monotonous over time
>Even if these people are super passionate about art, they will get sick of it over time similar to how people get sick of eating the same food each day
>These people can just pursue art as a hobby > They can learn to love a job which pays better - these people are just being picky
Fine Arts seem easy to an outsider's perspective.
>why won't everyone do what i want them to do!
who are you to decide or judge what other people pursue
>Really, all jobs are repetitive and become monotonous over time
i can't speak for all schools of art but for say a fine artist that exhibits art at galleries for sale that's just not true. they generally spend a year or two creating a collection and then repeat. as well as the animation industry where you can work as say a storyboard artist in one instance and a layout artist in another, etc.
>these people are just being picky
some people want to make it their career. it's completely different than pursuing it as a hobby. they're not being picky because they want to do what they're passionate about.
>Even if these people are super passionate about art, they will get sick of it over time similar to how people get sick of eating the same food each day
this is just facetious and not supported by anything but your own misguided ignorant opinion
>>2331276
I know it is not. So why don't these smart kids just pick a major which leads to an "easy" job such as Actuarial Science or Nutrition?
>>2331278
Most people dislike their jobs over time. It is a fact. A "normal" person will suggest shit like this: http://archive.4plebs.org/adv/thread/16592175/#16592175
Howdy, I got a few pieces of various mediums I hope to create. However, I just want to talk about one that just came to me tonight whilst playing OSU! and I observed a deep space background. All I request is some feedback on the concept and how it would make you feel.
I just want to talk about the concept first: Deep space, a frontier no man has ever been. Your distress beacon has been on for what you can only describe as what seems like forever. Your supplies are gone, your fuel, expended. You are stranded on your reserves.
The cold is closing in on you. Your thermals can only contain so much of your heat. You are dying. Your breaths begin to come slower, you cant feel your appendages, thoughts... become... fuzzy... and... less... linear.
But that is when you notice what is in front of you. This beautiful frontier, never before been seen by anyone, and likely to be the last. Your last fleeting thought before you slowly fade to black.
I want to capture this feeling of well... hopelessness and happiness. Assuming you died a happy explorer anyways. I have always wanted to be a space explorer, but more like a space cowboy. So this kind of thing makes me feel like I wish I was born to be space faring.
Medium wise I feel like a digital representation, ie 3D in oculous rift, with a particular song set, maybe faint orchestration, maybe a down beat chill. I want to start on this, but I lack the know how and the hardware.
But first, I want some opinions on it. I never have anyone to bounce these kinds of things off and I figured, eh, why not here.
>>2341263
I can dig it
turn this into a realistic looking arms fondling each other.
bonus points for comfortable pillow/bed background

Alot of people say that unless you spend like two weeks on each bargue plate then its pointless, but then wouldnt it have taken like 3 years for van gogh to do each one twice? and didnt his brother help publish it? i feel like he knew how to do the exercises properly.
>>2340950
i just need one answer please. i know its a dead horse
I think the idea is more the requirement for care to measurement and precision rather than any arbitrary time-limit. Basically it means "don't rush it and just slap down lines until you get lucky, take your time and make sure you get it right intentionally."
That's my impression anyway, I'm not super well informed on bargue plates so take it with a grain of salt.
>>2340967
thank you anon
I made tis film for my junior thesis film at USC. I shot it over three days with a four person crew so it was sort of rushed bu I'm happy with the result. Watch it, tell me what you think, and share it with your friends!

Anon...anon what the fuck
I really want to use it as the beginning of my critique/opinion/constructive support mixed media idea.
But yea 'wtf' came across my mind once, or a few times. The transition into the mood-lighting lit room worked, and I found myself subconciously visiting the idea of even climbing inside my own body or someone else's.
Becasue, seriously- everyone always thinks to themselves "what drugs is this guy on"
...wether they're referring to the plot's characters or the
Also, a better note that I nearly forgot to add: The first scene, where they meet two hours after their wedding... the stress on death tricked me into believing it as a literature device for foreshadowing.
Replying to my own comment, ewwwwww

The plot's characters or the *producer & director
Beginner Thread
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.

Questions go in the QUESTION THREAD
This is for posting studies & getting critique.

Feel free to post your originals as well.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - there are many studies 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.
Respect those giving you advice and if you suck don't give advice.

hi there
i've been drawing on and off for a while, but i just came to the realization how bad i really am because i was trapped very early to depend on reference pics. i'm making an effort to draw from imagination. any tips? any resources recommended?
i used a random noun generator, and it gave me 'soup'. i sat for a minute or two and thought of a scene. what are you guys' creative thought processes?
same guy as >>2336432
could use feedback
>>2336434
>>2336432
keep drawing stuff you love or want to draw from imagination and incorporate reference as you go to improve on whatever needs to be improved, whether it be anatomy, proportions, color, etc...It's the best way to get better and not get stuck doing random studies that mean nothing in the end
Yo guys, how you doin'?
I'm trying to find some nice books to learn more about painting/coloring techniques. I only use digital media for now, but I guess even a book about oils could help me a lot. If possible, I'm looking for a book that not only gets into theory, but talks also about procedures with step by step.
Do you recommend me any book?
(ignore the random pic LOL)
>>2340767
not a book but you should still read it, it's called "The Fucking Sticky"
>>2340793
seriously bro, get out
>>2340767
How old are you?
How long should it feasibly take to make a portfolio for a place like Sheridan?
I feel like two months is more than enough, but others seem to be saying otherwise.
https://www.sheridancollege.ca/~/media/Files/Sheridan%20College/Academics/Faculties/FAAD/apppbaaa.pdf
>>2340272
maybe you should just work on your portfolio instead of posting on /ic/
>>2340294
I have been. Almost done and I'm going to make multiples and then use the best.
i know ur feel im applying to humber and i have 5/10 pieces
My first take on oil painting, man it is hard to find the color i want and details are hard to do, i need i smaller brush. And there's no ctrl+z IRL. Art academy on Wii u got me inspired into this.
Btw, i'm waiting for it to dry so i can Start painting the face
>>2339235
Where is the reference?
What's with traditional fags and their burning desire to have their medium in the picture of the painting...just take a normal picture you cunt
Post em now.
Rules:
-Do not rate or give critiques unless if the artist specifically requests it.
-If someone is RUDE tell them to not expect much from an hour's work.
-Posting WIP's, studies, "doodles", and random sketches are highly encouraged.
-The art must be fresh. Like you just drew it in the past hour.
-Go fast

You already have him with an accessory a tail be me another thing you'd have to draw and would make it look too busy .
