Not sure if this belongs here or just on /v/
But do you guys know of any games where you can view and rotate items/characters/vehicles at any angle?
I would like to use this for a drawing reference
obvious examples skyrim, fallout 4
You could look for model viewers and extract the models from games

Can we have a pyrography thread? If it doesn't belong just let it die
I just got a woodburning kit for Christmas and I'm already running into problems- my first piece was even worse than this one, but I used a handcut plank this time and it cracked down the middle. What's the best wood to use, just normal basswood?
I also didn't sand enough so it came out fucky. Does anyone know a better way to transfer designs than graphite paper, shit sucks ass.
Critique welcome especially on pencil shading, I'm having a hard time getting it...

there's one way of transfering photocopier ink into stuff by using a liquid solvent. It woorks with wood and you can work on a detailed piece of lineart in photoshop so you can transfer it or also drawing on paper, scanning it, cleaning it up and transfering it to wood. Don't forget to flip the image because it will print mirrored.
Use dense woods with a high burning temperature, preferably run by a calibration sanding machine so they are totally flat and even.
About the color, try dilluted gouache, watercolors or acrylics if you can handle them. Pencils...

Thank you for the advice. That solvent transferring technique looks interesting, might be worth it more to just do that instead of freehanding it/using that shitty paper. It worked ok on the near-paper-smooth basswood I got with my kit but was shit for the rough cut wood I used on OP pic.
Thanks for the advice on the wood- I can't afford a sanding machine but I might settle for getting a tool so I don't have to use the sandpaper by hand. I might experiment with using watercolors in my next try, might...

Hey /ic/, are there any alternative books to Loomis's Fun with a Pencil to learn construction?
I really don't like this book and no matter how I try, I can't seem to read more than 5 pages at a time.
I once watched a youtube video on construction and it was more helpful than the book.

Just to add, I did all the silly cartoon heads up to page 31. After that, I just skimmed through everything else.
FWAP teaches you everything you need to know. I suggest you cope with the circumstances, my nigga.

My mum asked me to design her a logo for her newly opening beauty salon and i stupidly agreed
Basically all i want is a little bit of criticism and ideas
and if your really nice (I hope you are) you can even add to what I've already come up with
Can somebody please fix up the Logo
free of charge
Worksafe requests go to >>>/wsr/.
Also, there's a special board for design (/gd), but know that you're highly unlikely to find anyone willing to do free work outside of /wsr/ or /r/.
I'll do it for free, if you can help me out with an English text. I'm not a native English speaker so could use some help with the grammar.
My emailaddress is [email protected] (it's my spam account), please send me an email.
Hi there, I decided to stop bitching about how I can't draw, and actually start practicing.
I'm practicing right now and I would like constructive criticism on how I can better my drawing. Thanks, and sorry for weird camera quality

Why is it always eyes.
draw things that aren't just eyes and you'll be well on your way. what do you want to draw in particular, other than eyes?
>>2337770
I was interested in drawing eyes at this moment because I wanted to apply it to another project I'm going to work on. BUT I would also like to figure out hair, hands, feet, noses. I want to draw humans? But those are the things I get the most frustrated with...along with eyes because I dunno how to draw lashes.
Anyone has any of the latest annuals? Or any idea is they have been scanned/uploaded anywhere?
>>2337759
Just buy them. They are the best bang-for-buck art book around.
>>2337769
get them from amazon at least. They are like $20 when they are $40 from an actual store.
$20 is perfectly fair for something like this I think. I personally won't spend more than $25 on an artbook cus Ima poor. I don't pirate either.
Stop being cheap cunts.
>>2337769
I plan on buying them in the future anyway. Just wanna browse thru and see whats featured in the latest ones really.
I've heard good things about this app, but also that it is currently not as fully featured as Photoshop and Manga Studio.
So what are the important things that it lacks? Why wouldn't you use it for doing professional work?

Please, help a artisan-brother out.

Not your personal army.
Is it the best artbook ever made, /ic/?
Not trying to be contrarian for the sake of it but it was one of the worst how to draw books I've come across, it's so full of fluff it's even worst than drawing on the right side of the brain.
Best book coming through.
>>2337631
Gave its kickstarter a peep. Looks like a cringeworthy rpg-esque interpretation of learning how to draw.

I do faggot. Poetry, music, drama, theatre, human love.
Has any of you ever done a course at one of those classical ateliers?
How was it?Can you recommend it?
There's an atelier near me; I might start attending next summer if I can bring myself to part with my precious, precious money.

>>2337418
I haven't, but know other (professional) artists that have, and it has really upped their game. art college tends to teach you how to think creatively, whereas ateliers teach you the technical proficiency.
>>2337418
Not all ateliers are equal. If you have any near you I suggest researching into what methods they teach, what the work of the teachers looks like, what the student work looks like etc. Some clearly will be better than others. Some will teach construction, some will teach sight-size, some are open minded, some are closed minded.
Most let you book a tour and talk with the main professor.
I think ateliers can be great if your goals align with what they teach. If your goals are different from their goals...

Are there any video of convention with artist doing digital painting? ZBrush for example, they host conventions and upload videos on youtube where lot of artists show off what they can do and talk about the industry. Is there something similar for Wacom?
>>2337294
i don't think so but check out NAB and SIGGRAPH and Event Space BHPhotoVideo
anyone interested in architecture? to me, it's the closest i can get to working in art and paying bills. anyone work in the field?
sketch is by me of Rem Koolhaas's Villa Dall'ava (1991)
>>2337171
I was strongly considering it but then I realized it wasn't wotth it. Not sure what country you're in but in the US you need to get a 5 year degree if you want to get an architecture job. If your school doesn't offer it then you have to get a bachelors in arch and then a masters which will probably take another 2-4 years. All that work and then you get shit pay and really shitty hours. Not worth it imo. I'd rather have a cushy office job that pays me more and leaves me with more time for my personal studies.
Architecture will consume you, and for the vast majority their jobs are only marginally artistic. But there's always a way to make it if you work hard enough, and smart enough.
2 years out of university.

How long did it take to get your degree? and are you in the states?
