Are there any good books/videos relating to art history?
Something that goes in depth of examining the paintings of the artist/art movements or even a biography of any one particular artist.
I've neglected in researching the history of art.

I gave a read to some taschen editorial artbooks (rococo, bosch, michelangelo) and they were actually pretty good and not too expensive for what I could see.
What is the meaning of art?

How old are you that you honestly believe that those are the "universal standards"......

lololooolololoolo that video, nice one senpai
>Want to quit practicing art so I can start animating a cartoon
Is drawing every day (Not studying everyday) better than totally quitting practice?
I've been thinking I would do 2 days of studies, and then 1 day of animation in between.
I might do the reverse though.
>>2578413
By no means am I master of art, but I don't want to put my animation on hold anymore.

Nice studies,what makes his artform so special? His Lines are very loose and fit together,as everything is one! Just beautifull.
>>2578382
that's rough but funny OP
I feel like learning to draw is a never ending series of going down the wrong path for a long time, accidentally doing something different that looks nice, incorporating it into your repertoire, and then repeating this until death.
Is this accurate? How do I stop all the bullshit knocking on the wrong doors?
>pic unrelated, but let your MP know we want to deport Davcam and samcam
by not whining about it on a chinese cartoon forum and actually drawing
What's objectively the best and most reputable art school in the world? I wanna find out so I can get it then brag about it on here, thanks.
Yourself
Feng Zhu's School of design.
I'm just enrolling to study CS in college.
I've given up on being an artists.
It's there a chance I can still make paintings by coding a smart AI to produce such paintings?
It's even possible to do that?
Hell, there's people making garbage on cans, I'm sure It's allowed.
>I'm just enrolling to study CS in college.
Smart choice, art schools are s h i t and a waste of time & money and CS is a good/smart thing to have a masters degree in
>I've given up on being an artists.
Why give up?
>It's there a chance I can still make paintings by coding a smart AI to produce such paintings?
Yes, but you will probably not discover any such coding though if you can't even stick to art, you will probably work doing optimization shit for a shit company and hate yourself though as every person doing those things do it with the same passion artists share with art
>It's even possible to do that?
Yes
>Hell, there's people making garbage on cans, I'm sure It's allowed.
What

>It's there a chance I can still make paintings by coding a smart AI to produce such paintings?
Yeah, eventually.
Robutts will eventually make us all obsolete.

>>2578245
because after 12 years of doing art I can only draw like this.
I know the rules, but I just discovered I'm not naturally talented for art.
>how do you know
I took the meyers test, I'm ENTJ.
>huh duh it's pseudoscience
>huh duh it doesn't work
I think it's true.
Why are artist the worst type of people?
>>2578189
I think you know just a few types of people
seJdʒ
Why are the worst people always an artist?
Can't find the drawthread link, so I'm making a thread
I would like some advice on how to make the background. Do you have some ideas ?
I thought about a japanese/cyberpunk type of city who would be quite detailed (not big blocks of black or grey ink) with a big red moon behind the head of the mecha.
>>2578120
Why do you create a thread for that double nigger?
lol. next time, spend 30 seconds longer searching for the draw thread.
CATALOG AND CTRL+F
>>2578120
Study some refs and use low detail in background to bring attention to the center (the mecha) - see pic related. Remember that landscapes have layers, like an onion - fore, mid and background.
But a more general tip would be to drop the excessive rendering and focus on basic perspective and the fundamentals, because if you continue this approach to learning art, I guarantee you'll end up in /cringe/ threads.
Did we ever find out who drew this?
Possible dead artist/blog thread.
I think that's "splooge"
>>2578113
Googling "splooge tumblr" took me to all the wrong places. Do you have source?
>>2578137
sad panda
He doesn't have a blog of any kind I think
ITT artists who truly inspire you
>making another shadman thread
Kill yourself.
So I was thinking about buying this book, then realized it really only has sketches and Im interested in other work too. Is there an online collection anyone knows of that archives michelangelos sketches, paintings AND sculptures?
Is it possible to have something like that for da vinci and other renessaince or just badass dudes from the earlier eras?
Yes.

o lawd ty. Any way to download in bulk?
To go along with practicing and doing the art you usually do, you should explore other forms of art.
Even if you are not good at whatever medium it can help inspire you or help you get out of slump. Also it can help as an outlet because it won't matter how good or bad it is.
Post an idea you have for an art project.
I'm going to make a collage out of magazines. It will have a theme of life vs no-life( like a polluted wasteland)
1. Paint portrait in only 2 warm hues in high saturation, say, green-yellow and violet. Gouache, acryllic, oils, whatever
2. Paint something with BBQ sauce.
3. Paint in MS Paint, alternatively 1 layer, 100% opacity, FINAL DESTINATION
4. Draw [First thing you lay your eyes on in your room] elemental
5. Draw wooden human and next to it human wood
6. Draw environment and then flip it so as the observer looks at it from the back
can someone help me with this lag?
it happens with SAI
lag S7 and 14
>>2577828
That's what's supposed to happen, is it not?
When you throw the stabilization settings into overdrive it's trying to keep as smooth as possible and trails behind as a result. You're supposed to slow down with it.
What do you think of my art /ic/?
Delet this
