Anyone knows the style of this type of painting?
>>2276314
illustration often used for commercial concept art with influences from photo-realism? don't know that this has a name.
>>2276314
It's sort of commercial illustration from roughly 50's through 80's. They were done in gouache and had that flat matte look. A lot of car ads and just ads in general had similar aesthetics.
Probabl retro-futurism. His other stuff is.
No one irl has the balls to give me an actual critique, so do your worst

Nose appears to be facing a different direction from the face, which we appear to be seeing from two angles at once or something? The left side of the face looks way to wide relative to the right side, and the nose looks like it's been smushed to the right. Forehead looks pretty small, too. Shoulders look small, could just be the way the hair makes them appear to end. The collar bone looks wrong though - the collar bone meets those muscles from the neck down below the chin, and right now it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Hair looks pretty bad overall; google Gurney Journey Ribbon Method.
Can you show us what you're working from, or was this from life?

Hey /ic/
I'm just beginning my sculpture journey and I was wondering if there are some agreed-upon top tier books/videos? Sort of like how everyone agrees on Loomis, Hampton, Vilpuu, etc...
I was at a ceramics store earlier today and saw some books and DVDs by Philippe Faraut which looked good, but they were like $50 a pop and I can't find them on CGP. They were also sealed in plastic so I couldn't flip through them...
I am taking drawing/painting/sculpture courses at community college and going through the recommended books in the sticky at my own pace already so I'm just mainly looking for sculpture-related material.
Thanks in advance.
OP here bumping.
Went to the local Half Price Books and they didn't have any instructional books.
Maybe I will get a library card on Sunday and see what I can find there. I have a large format scanner so if there is interest I might be able to set aside some time for scanning.
>>2276251
A great sculptor, Alex Oliver (he even works for Blizzard), said to me that this are the best manuals out there, so I guess you could invest in them.
YouTube man Phillip feraut has a YouTube channel where he shows the process he doesn't explain but you can learn a lot from watching
And there's a ton of sculptors on YouTube that down explain step by step
I am going to receive my payment and, as I have started one month ago in an art school and am beginning to learn how to draw. I like to read and write (that’s my main goal and the area of activity on which I invest most of my energy) but decided to expand my knowledge of art to the visual arts, not in a deeply serious mood, but more on a ludic vein. I am thinking in buying some books that will help me to learn faster.
I don’t have much money, but I am thinking in buying some 5 or 6 books. I want to ask you guys who have already years of experience with drawing the following question:
>If you could buy, let’s say, only 6 books on drawing, what books would you buy? What are the absolute best books,the ones that are indispensable to you, the ones that you keep using and reading for years?
One that I bought and that is truly helpful is Perspective Made Easy, but I need more. Can you guys and girls help me?
If you just started drawing now as you've entered art school you are not going to make it, family.
Get your ass out of there and maybe go back in 4 years after some free-study.

It’s not a Art University course, is a simple course given in a small town by a professor who is a professional artist but need other sources of income.
I am not completely new to drawing. I am 28 now, but I have started drawing and modeling clay when I was a child and continued up to the age of 18. Leonardo da Vinci was my first personal hero. However, after I discovered literature and began to get more and more interested in words I abandoned drawing and focused mostly on writing. I have already published one work and am finishing the second one, but I don’t draw for almost 10 years.
I have still some memory stored in my brain, some neuron formations that still exist, but that’s it. Also, I progressed a lot when I was young, but after a while I got stuck in a place where I was unable to move forward: I needed training with professionals, but I gave up even before starting because I needed more time to read and write.
I am coming back now to drawing not to be a great master, but just to have fun and learn some new forms of expression. There is a lot that can be stated with image. For example: I began a notebook about brain structures, neuroscience and psychology, and lots of times I am tempted to draw in order to better explain to myself the concepts, but my limitations of skill are a problem: If I had some more knowledge of drawing I could learn better some concepts of brain anatomy and structure.
Im trying to do a 3 week no fap /ic/
What is the best way to take my mind off of ass and titties while I draw.
>>2276228
Don't think about ass and titties.
/ic/ is not your blog.

Draw ass and titties
Not kidding. You'll be so focused on getting it right you'll forget what you're even doing.
Be brutally honest.

what software does japan uses to make anime?
I want to make some animations using pen and paper.
It's there a software that magically clean scanned drawings?
I remember retas having some cleaning software, but I couldn't get the crack working.
To clean up drawings you can change the levels and erase things away in Photoshop.
>>2276185
It's there a way to automate this?
I know photoshop have batch actions.
I just want to avoid digital inking again the drawing.
>>2276187
No.
Not all of it, that's true. But I got a felling most actual art is labeled that way 'cause a snob trips too much on what art is.
>inb4 hurr duur you should be more open-minded dude
How the fuck can I be open-minded when pic related is sold as if were the pinnacle of art?
>such technique

This thread is pointless because you will have a bunch of these contemporary art snobs lurking here in /ic/ coming out telling you that /ic/ is fucking shit for only liking that korean guy or that ruan something or that sakimi girl.
Let people wank to a blue errrr sorry "Bottom of the oceania hue" canvas with a semen strip on it.

So /ic/, is it true that non artists never notice any errors in a drawing as compared to an artist? Go on Deviantart or Tumblr and look at all the drawings and paintings that have tons of errors, but mask then with exceptional rendering skills that none of the fans seem to notice or care about. Am I wasting my time trying to perfect my skill and just deal with the level I am at now?
>>2275976
>I got into drawing because I want people to notice me
>not for the challenge it brings
off yourself perhaps?
People not being able to pin-point ur fuck-ups won't make you any better of an artist.
Everyone can see your figures will look off, but artists can tell what exactly.
If you want to stagnate at your current level u may as well quit drawing.
>>2275981
I see reading comprehension isn't your forte
im not an artist btw

Second attempt at my first painting. Still not happy, buy feel much improved.
Vast improvement, did you end up doing the under drawing like you said you might?
Everything looks better, the mountain looks more realistic, the perspective on the shorelines looks a ton better, the water reflections and the trees look better too.

Good going OP!
Alright lads give me the lowdown.
Am I going to need a degree if I want to work in the entertainment industry doing art?
What do you think?
No. You need a good portfolio. Still do get a good degree for when you give up and find yourself starving in the streets though.
Art as a career is not a choice for most people as it is right now. We already have enough good artists and they themselves don't get paid much.
If by art you mean illustration, as in illustrator/concept artist for the entertainment industry, probably not. If I art you mean whats academically accepted as art nowdays globally, then your chances are probably bigger with a degree unless youre loaded, very charming or are close with somebody with contacts.

Hey guys, I just finished a Survey of the Arts class and for our final we had to go to the Cantor Art Center at Stanford and recreate a piece of our choice.
I chose to recreate "The Thinker" out of clay.
Pic related, the original artwork my rendition is based upon. Will post my work in a second post.
>>2274708
This is my first ever clay piece, or any piece for that matter. What kind of grade do you guys think I'll get?
the professor is also pretty hot and I don't have a gf.

I wouldn't follow anything by a guy who still draws the same way for 10 years with only minor improvements to his workflow. Follow it if you want to be pointychins 2.0.
