So my friend is looking for a good free art program and I don't know of any. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also ignore the picture. I just wanted to put something I drew there.

Are you living in a town of 1000 people or what?
Where can I find all those dope old paintings and sculptures?
Like, michaelangelo da vinci and all that.. But also people like carravagio, delacroix, desiderio , idk, tons of people. I just love all that shit, the baroque and renecessaince.
Is it just hunting on amazon and cgpeers or has anyone curated a nice list of books to choose from already?
a lot of times, you have to know what you're looking for. sometimes you get lucky and you find something you like while searching for something else. read up on them a lot, and look for them accordingly. browse through art history books in the library and you might find some you like that you might not find otherwise. you'll find about other artists just by reading about someone you already know about because a lot of them knew each other.
don't forget to neglect their drawings, especially from the renaissance.

Have a tablet.
Learn to draw.
Practice.

Observe your subject, the flame is clearly not the yellow you've chosen and becomes translucent near the candle, where did the random pixel shit come from that surround your flame?

do anyone ever received a payment for commissions with payoneer? seems like they recently featured a wannabe of paypal-like invoicing, but the client must pay with a credit card instead.
Bumping hard,I'm really interested too
Reading through a few threads here it seems like a lot of /ic/ anons have trouble besting moods and self-criticism/loathing, especially in relation to art. I thought a thread dedicated to the topic could benefit us all.
Prompts:
>does looking at other's art inspire you or depress you? does something else trigger your low moods?
>how do you push through moments where you feel too low to draw (inb4 "do it faggot")?
>>2576238
Looking at art styles I love helps, looking at god tier art made by younger people before flipping through my own stuff does the opposite.
I get up, make a cup of tea, go running, sleep plenty, remind myself why I started all this.
But come to think of it, I'm not a shining example of motivation anyways.
>>2576274
>I'm not a shining example of motivation anyways
I feel like that's a sort of general theme.
I'm like you on the comparison though, and I'm not extremely motivated either. I feel like I'm just too tired to function, or apathic, most of the time.
>>2576238
>(inb4 "do it faggot")
but I do tell myself that
then I make shitty art
As someone who's literally just now taken an interest in learning to draw, I was wondering how more experienced artists developed or settled into a style or specific trademark for their style. Like me personally, I adore characters with fangs, so if/when i'm good enough to draw my own stuff, I'd probably lean towards drawing fanged characters.
What's your style, or when did you start to notice your own unique form?
Never cared about style but started noticing some considerable consistency around 3 years after I started.
Just try to make things look correct at first, style will come with time and experience
>>2575964
Style comes when you actually understand anatomy, construction and such.
Not the way when you can draw people in a pose you've never seen before only from imagination, but when you've found the easiest way for you to draw eyes, arms, heads, mouths, etc... and everyone assumes your interpretation as "correct".
Style will emerge when you study, practice and actually learn. Don't worry about it much.
>>2575964
It'll kind of happen like that. You're messing around, you stumble upon something that makes you think "Oh, I like this, that looks good," you'll use it more and refine it in that process, it'll naturally assimilate into your work.
As a beginner, messing around will just end up looking like crap, because everything you do as a beginner looks like crap. You gotta grind through the crap before a style starts to effectively develop.
Second tattoo, The idea is to get all my right arm done with some botanical design.
Thing is, this guy went freehand.
I like it, but I might be having trouble getting compatibility with the next Ink.
What do you guys think?
looks nice, a little too static maybe for my taste.
>>2575856
a good tattoo artist will be able to do it right, just research your artist and dont go for convenience or cheapness. Might want to get a drop shadow added to the piece.Overall, good tattoo.
when i first came to /ic/ there was a wall of text from a successful artist who apparently browsed the board, i remember it being pretty inspirational. anyone got a sauce on this?
also post other artists that got gud and also posted on /ic/
>>2575812
haven't seen it but sounds interesting. Bumping for curiosity.

Was it the one Richard Williams wrote about how he was taught the foundations of traditional art before going into animation, and how art schools are failing students by not teaching them proper technique?

Just for you new people
Found this painting at an antiques shop a few years back...thinking about selling it and I need an appraisal , any help will be greatly appreciated
I saw this EXACT painting at my grandpa's log cabin in Tahoe but I can't remember if it was shittier or better. I think the signature was the same as well.
That's "hole" art. It's used to cover up holes in a wall.
That's the painting one would see at a Motel 6 or a Motor Inn off the Hwy is some bullshit town in AZ...in 1975
>>2575785
My grandma has this painting.
Is becoming a person who can support their self with art attainable in the same way if you wanted to be a lawyer or doctor or any other respectable profession? That is to say if you devote yourself to study for 4 or so years there is no reason why you couldn't so long as you put in the work and seek out the right resources and instruction (because obviously there is no licensing or any schools that are obligatory).
Will Terrell talks about realizing this, that if he wanted to be a doctor or lawyer it would take 5-10 years, so he would take the same attitude toward getting good at art. Or is there such a thing as the spark, that some people will never be able to make it?
>>2575700
And obviously most people that say they want to become professional artists don't actually work anywhere near as hard as they should in the absence of the direction and quantifiable objectives and assessment that is associated with something like become a lawyer and end up disappointing themelves, but if you were to work at the level you needed to.
doctors certainly work harder to get where they are than professional artists. That said they have much better pay+job stability so its worth it for them.
Will Terrel said himself he wasted a lot of time trying to get into a shitty paying field (comics) If he originally tried to get into animation like he is at now he probably could have made it within a couple years.
Basically it depends a lot on what your trying to get into, some fields have low skill entry level jobs and you can make a living quite easily.Some are super hard to get into and pay low ages to boot,...

I always wonder about what he says when he criticizes selling your time instead of building a brand and creating something that you can sell indefinitely. A doctor or a dentist doesn't necessarily have a brand or can make money outside of actually doing what they do do (making money off of money is another story) but no one would make the same criticism of them.
