Some fanart.

on first glance i thought she was holding a dick. cleaner lines would be nice and her dick holding hand needs a bit of love (looks kinda off).

Jesus fuck, before your trip go find a Rothko and sit in front of it for a half hour.

>>2289516
Anime does matter. A hell of a lot more than anything an american cartoonist makes. There are still fans for old anime that aired back in the 80s and some of them were marvels of animation even top art colleges showcase to their students.

>>2289511
Take a chill pill and think rationally man. Don't just move to Japan then find work, instead get in contact with small (or large, your choice) animation studios first before moving countries.
Also, if you're going to attempt to be an anime animator, be prepared to go to other Asian countries instead (Outsourced work etc.)

If you go to a top tier school and don't take a lot of debt, yes. (This is a bit different for artcenters concept art program). If you're not good enough to go to a good school on scholarship, then you aren't good enough to get work outside of it.
Obviously you can teach yourself technical skill at home, but art school teaches you how to formulate and execute ideas. Also the connections you make in art school are very very important.

art hasn't been worth it since the time of the ninja turtles ended

>>2282271
Non Americanfag here, do good art schools even offer scholarships? I've never heard of places like Art Center offering scholarships.

>I think he might end up becoming one of the greats of our age.

naw man, he just does boring figures he doesn't have anything to say. At the end of the day technicality is just a tool for communication, it's not the actual thing to achieve.

>>2296166
One of the best draftsmen around. His painting is rather uninspired and weak imo, just muddy mushy messes. His sculpture is okay but nothing special.

I don't see why he would be considered one of the greats though. Nothing he's doing is outstanding enough to make him go down in history, and he brings nothing new to the table. Plus his real strength lies in his initial studies and his drawings. He has no finished work of any real value.

This would be the final composition.

top image is the tip of a screwdriver.
mid image is the rotation and the soket of a screw
last image is a set of screws driled

>>2295692
wtf are you on holy fuck, quit drugs bud.

No. Even the randomness is influenced by previous images archived in the brain. Is you put a baby trying to draw, the only gonna make what he has seen so far, if you put a fetus trying to draw, he didn't draw anything, because he knows nothing, but if you put a blind man to try to draw, he can do it himself, and his drawings will be guided by perceptions it receives from the other direction (basically touch and sound)

Yo, man, like, whoa

I don't think it's possible to draw something that's literally imperceptible to humans.
If you want, you could try to draw the 'strings' from string theory. iirc, strings are essentially 'rolled-up' dimensions that make no sense and essentially can't be explained visually.

Anything you try to draw, no matter how simplistic, or complex, or abstract, can always be related to something that exists.
While the picture you have posted here probably...

They're just human photocopiers. There is some degree of skill, but not nearly as much as the plebs in that comment section think.

The finished product has no more artistic value than the photo they copied, sometimes it has even less.

It's craft, not art.

It's technically impressive but pretty boring a lot of the time. That said this picture of a crashing wave is certainly more appealing than a lot of the hyperrealism paintings I'd seen that were still lifes of household objects.

>>2292356
>>2292357
is there any more?

those two are pretty dead. working from photographs and imagination sucks all the life out of painting. You aren't painting light like you should be. The images are piercing straight through the layers of light that would naturally be in front of what you are viewing. Gives everything a really dead look. Look at the impressionists and post-impressionists to get a better idea of what I mean.

>>2292356
They're pretty nice, you're better than me at rendering things out. However even I can see that your perspective is fucked, you really need to work on that.

most of them look fine for beginner level but the one on the right - you really need to work on the proportions. Good work!

unless you plan on doing a ton of finished digital linework, you are fine just getting an intuos not a cintiq

>>2289266
I have an Intuos right now, but I'm looking for something that I can draw on digitally without having to look up at the screen.

>>2289278

Then get a cintiq if you insist on having a display with your tablet.

The alternative is a Huion for cheaper. Just know that if you get it you're rolling the dice on software headaches.

I would not recommend it at all

>>2295181

>>2295181
>>2295184

Why, though?

first off,
actually draw a picture.
that'd be greaaaaat.

imo it's bordering between kinda interesting and generic edgy instagram-tier shit.

>>2295117
For learning or practice or whatever? No. If you can't draw a person without a model? Yes.

What this dude says >>2295121
Mannequins can be pretty useful to for figuring out a pose,lighting ref, and junk.

Please don't tell me you are thinking about buying that, OP.
