I'm pretty happy with the basic structure, but can I get some critique on the shading/general shading advice?
Delete this thread, post in the beginner thread. Not everyone needs his own.

I saw some stupid cunt about a month back get DESTROYED because he asked about a mentor, I only really lurk here because a lot of you guys' stuff is pretty tight so i wanted to ask, are mentors a taboo or is it just how that dude asked?
>are mentors a taboo or is it just how that dude asked?
No idea what the guy asked. But here's why mentorships cause people bitterness.

Okay see that would irritate me too but my question sorta was, dude just asked if someone from here would mentor him, and everyone flipped a shit. I was kinda curious too, but uh, that thread definitely scared me off from asking.
>>2322856
Sorry I didn't make that apparent I really shoulda, I kinda feel bad for the dude desu. He just had uh, aspirations i guess?

Will I ever be happy with my artwork?
>>2321167
Yes. Hang in there and persevere. It's tough now and it might get even tougher, but where you choose to continue doing art there are dozens of others that stop.
It is important to find a way to study that works for you and stick by it; your dedication will be rewarded. Good luck and try to have fun with it anon.

>there are dozens of others that stop.
not him, but i'm actually really happy to hear that.

From time to time stick to a piece and give your best. People here love to shout "turd polishing" but I find that finishing something that makes you proud does wonders to your commitment.
Couple questions:
1.) Do you have career aspirations or are you just drawing as a hobby?
2.) Do you study art theory and history alongside your technical study?

1. I had but after 5 years of not landing a single job those aspirations are more or less dead. Im looking for a 9 to 5 job now.
2. Studying art history is useless. No employer is gonna be impressed that you know that. All that will find you jobs is your work. Art theory is a vague term. It can mean alot of things wich also include the "Technical side" of studying. Color theory , Composition design etc.

>I couldnt get a job after trying for 5 years
>so here's my advice on how to get a job
>>2319184
Just because I didn't get a job doesn't mean my statement isn't completely factual and valid.
Do prove me wrong though.
So there's this guy I met in passing that thinks hes pretty good at art but in reality he's pretty bad. He would also ignore art advice for some unknown retarded reason.
What do you guys think about his art?
personally the first thing that draws my attention is his terrible coloring. flat and pale.
Everything is wrong with this.The coloring is really flat and the anatomy is...way off...
I dunno, I see where he needs to improve, but it isn't THAT bad.
Man's right eye is tippy toeing off of his head.
Is it offensive to ask another artist for permission to reproduce their painting?
I found an amazing marine painting and thought it was some renaissance artist's, so I wanted to make a small study from it and if it comes out okay, give it to my dad for Xmas. It turns out though the artist is modern and has got a website and gallery online. I thought about e-mailing him for permission, but would it be rude to ask if I can basically copy his painting instead of buying a print or something?
Its for a study . . . I think they'd be flattered but mostly I just wouldn't bother if the painting isnt being reproduced for commercial purposes or being broadcast in any form. I
why even bother to ask? it's not like the artist is ever going to know some noob painted a copy of his work and gave it to their dad.
literally nobody cares.
>>2322158
I thought I would be flattered too if it was me, but not all people are the same.
I definitely won't be reselling it, but I'd like to publish it online on my portfolio with credits to the original painter. So I guess he doesn't risk too much and maybe gets some customers thanks to the credits (his paintings are truly awesome). I don't want to risk copyright infringement though, and spare him any stress like he finds my study somewhere out of blue. Should I just ask if he's okay with online...

I can only draw decent looking forms if I chicken scratch, it's even worse when I try to use a tablet.
How do we break this terrible habit?
>>2322036
start drawing in pen. it'll force you to make your lines count if you dont want it to look bad, also understanding what your drawing helps you do it in less tries.
it may not be for everyone but check out peter han's dynamic sketching.
Create a light under-drawing so you're confident when you're doing your actual lines.
As long as you're going really light a little bit of chicken scratching in the lay in isn't a huge deal.
The more you understand the forms and the better your control of your pencil the more confident you'll be with lines, too.
>>2322036
your magic pill does not exist dude, you have to practice, feel it and over time mileage and confidence will make it easy..but you know this, don't you?..yeah you do even if you pretend you don't, because somewhere inside the deepest clouds of your mind you know you're afraid just like all of us once were.
Okay so I'm making this pin up girl and everything is going well nicely IMO but I'm having such a hard time getting facial anatomy correct can anyone help me on face shape, eye, nose, mouth position?
