>>2244892
Not too unepic.. I would say you're well on your way :P
Consider learning to shade next tho -_-
>>2244892
i'm sorry if you look like this irl. how is it being an purple man?
>>2244907
im purple abadee abadye X[)
heh... no its whats commonly known in the artistic field as "arbitrary stylization" or something -_-
I believe you can find a thread on it in the catalogue O_O
also... do you want to play my psvita? (+.[___].::)
So recently I've been having quite some stress and now I'm seeing double. This feels like each of my eyes is sending seperate information to my brain and my brain just renders two seperate images for me.
When I'm drawing from life it gets really exhausting and when I'm drawing from imagination my brain shuts down after 20 minutes and I'm getting confused.
Is this normal effects of aging?
>not cancer
>>2244759
no, that's not normal. please go and see a doctor.
>>2244775
>no, that's not normal. please go and see a doctor.
Oh shit... that's what I was worried about.
I assumed it was just mental stress from drawing too much complicated perspective.
Anyone here a tattoo artist?
What's everyones opinions on tattoos here?
What are the necessary steps and skills needed to becoming a tattoo artist?
oh god burn it with fire. Not a tattooist but I do respect those who are. I'm not a fan of them myself, though I do like what some people can create. The steps? Draw. being able to draw 1 for 1 is most important, especially if you want to tattoo photo-realism and such. Go to college, get in the business and get good is really all I can say.
>>2243511
don't go to college, you need to use your money on an apprenticeship, and thats really just a way to stay in the shop without being thrown out. Just keep drawing every single day and don't be a flakey asshole
I was an apprentice for about a year and I sucked at it. Yeah my art was up to par but my social skills were too shitty. You have to be confident and be able to sell yourself. Tattooing has a lot to do with reputation and popularity, at least when you are first starting. I knew a lot of skilled artists because they were either assholes or didn't know how to market themselves.
So which one is better for doing digital painting, Manga Studio 5, SAI, or Corel Painter 2015?
>>2237270
photoshop
>>2237279
Fuck, you beat me to it
>>2237270
Gimp, or Krita
Pixel art thread, anyone?
Just made this to place on my website.
>>2234671
It looks fine but the limbs come off pretty flat looking. What am I looking at exactly? Some kind of bloated pastry?
>>2234704
Pretty much. Just a pudgy birb
>>2234712
>birb
No tumblr memes please.
I don't think the shape of the character from the drawing here is translated very well to the pixel you've done of her. There's a lot more upper body to the pixel, unless she's got a fucking ginormous rack then it's definitely a little off. You have any other pixel work to share?
So, currently trying to get into drawing, again.
When it comes to 2 point perspective drawing, what do you do if you decide that you want to draw outside the two vanishing points you created?
You're FUCKED
>>2239490
If you want to emulate what the human eye normally sees, you shouldn't have your vanishing points on the page.
>>2239509
I've seen drawings that go slightly beyond the vanishing points, though.
This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make stylized work in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.

I'ts clear you're the guy who did that skeleton with ramen, eficient forms and quality line art, going good, you should try dynamic poses and foreshortening
What videos/audiobooks/podcasts do you guys listen to while drawing? I'm really enjoying listening to Jeff Watts videos on youtube, damn, so much knowledge this guys have. The latest video with his father is just amazing, those guys talking and how they respect each other, fantastic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2cCMOn-zRA
I also enjoy listening to this guy or Bob Ross painting while I want to think while drawing, as I don't really pay attention to what he says, I just enjoy his voices(no homo lol) and the sound of painting.

Recently I started listening to The Collective Podcast and it's been great hearing Brad Rigney talking, really cool mindset. There are other great interviews there.
http://www.thecollectivepodcast.com/
So, what you're guys listen to? :)
I like to listen to non-vocal OSTs that don't distract me, but just play in the background.

this shit is torture. what the fuck is wrong with you.

Yeah, wtf was that?! How can you concentrate with this noise? lol
Anyway I wasn't talking about music as that is pretty straightforward and almost everybody enjoy listening to specific styles while working. The idea is to discover new things to listen apart from music. hehe

does it help you? if so use it.
he's just drawing a cylinder
>>2247727
it's useful if you actually know the 3d form you're "tracing" out
What's the point of trying to get good if you weren't born with natural skill?
>>2243487
I find it's less to do with natural skill and more the ability to enjoy practicing for hours. Volume and effort beats thinking about it hard a million fold.
>>2243490
I don't have an issue with putting in time and effort because I enjoy it but when I think about the future its a little disheartening
>>2243496
Making money and building a future with art as a career has much more to do with making things people enjoy seeing, marketing and business sense than it has to do with achieving the skill level that only a naturally gifted person could achieve.
There are lots of very mediocre webcomic- and fanartists who are far worse than the artist you posted, yet they make 10 times more money than he does.
Is this any good?
>>2245042
Read the sticky
(yes it is for beginners to get rid of the symbol drawing. I would had so needed that a year ago.)
I read it and I think it's snake oil. But whatever floats your boat.
It's the opposite of construction.
What is taught in your painting class? and What should be taught in a painting class?
>>2241696
>>2241697
I think my mom would rather have the tree
>>2241697
are you trying to get banned?
>>2241696
They taught me to paint the colors as you go rather than render in layers. It was very helpful when trying to go for realism.
Hi guys, this is my pérsonal art www.lucavaccarinoart.com

That fucking dog has seen some shit
Why is that dog a freemason?
>>2243627
Maybe he's a religious dog and after seeing some shit, he decided to seek out an organization that would show him there's good in the world, maybe even let him redeem himself through charity, community service and weird rituals.
Do you think Art as a possible profession is just a fad right now?
Fuck thats beautiful. Saved
art has never been a more available profession in history. It's not a fad. You don't know what a fad is.
yes its a fad
in 2 or 3 years there'll be no art
people will move onto something else
