What are some practices I can do to stop chicken scratching. When I do a full like I usually go slow and the line looks shaky
>>1871307
watch this vid, pay attention to what he says about basic forms and the excercises for making your lines confident.

tl;dr just whip that shit out there and know what you have in mind, if you know what you're drawing you'll just do it.
I'm starting to get how face works, and I'm okay at anatomy, I feel ready to level up.
I noticed a important factor to make a face look real is a good rendering, and I have no fucking clue how do it. Any good rendering tutorial(s), videos, books, anything?
And where I should start when learning how to paint? Oh course first I'll work my tradicional rendering and values before painting.
post paintings and share names of artists who you think have really great sense of image design, shape. Brush calligraphy and the like.
Bonus points for paintings that are excellent that depict normal situations and aren't just epics (though if you want to drop some epics in this thread feel free)
>>1860764
Are you the same guy who had that great shape design thread a few months ago? I contributed to it a lot but accidentally let it die I think. Well we've had a couple threads like that now. Lemme look through my computer and post nice images that I haven't posted before.
ITT: i share with you my collected screengrabs, info and notes i have stored in my 'ressources' folder in an attempt to make /ic/ a slightly better place.
this is not about tutorials or step-by-step process images, although i might drop one or two of those if i thought they were excellent for whatever reason. enjoy.
>>1869611
example of how the appearance of day/night is controlled by managing light sources and contrast in value blablabla
>>1869611
example of how to plot a geometrical wireframe before rendering an object. every plane could now be a specific brushstroke changing in value as the face away from the lightsource.
this is taken from myron barnstones guide.
the exact name for this process i believe is triangulation, but i might be wrong.
Anybody have anything else like this? Dumping what I have.
>ITT helpful pics

if these things helped we'd all be pros by now. give it a rest

I don't want to make this a tumblr thread or shameless self-promoting bullshit, but how do you increase traffic on your website?
I have a place and seems like no one gives a fuck. I don't draw badly I just don't know what to do to put myself out there. Is instagram a good alternative? What's the best place to post your artwork, and if you may add, what kind of work have you found by posting in said area?
Thanks in advance
.
>>1861131
Post in a lot of different websites, keep your work linked and update all profiles regularly. If you're really good people should just notice you over time, but if you're average interact more with whatever communities you're using and give other people feedback. Post in forums and get noticed.
Also make sure to tag your art properly, I know of a couple amazing artists who have been around for years but never get seen because they don't tag their work so people can find it or submit to groups.
>>1861131
if it's a tumblr you have and nobody's following you or anything yet, be patient. just keep posting until you have a decently-sized gallery of work to show someone, then do one of the following:
1. find someone popular and follow them. find a few. one of them might notice and follow you back/like one or two of your posts, which in turn will get it seen by all the thousand whatever people who watch them, one of whom is bound to also like it and cause the same thing to happen. then it will show up on a few dashboards of the people who follow THAT person, and... yeah, you get the idea.
2. draw fan art of some popular shit. this is similar to the first option. the good thing about tumblr is that whatever you draw doesn't need to be something whorish or that will crush your dignity as an artist, like some popular anime girl character or some shit, because there are SO many devoted fan groups to almost any cartoon/video game/comic book that ever existed on there. on my first blog i had a bunch of original drawings/ideas that i thought were pretty good (and i worked hard on) but rarely even broke two digits in notes (most of which were from people i knew anyway). then one day i decided to drawa character from an old playstation game and got nearly 100 notes and at least 20 new followers. it wasn't any kind of generic drawing or shameless furbait either. in fact it was quite reminiscent of the style i had already developed. but because it had that tag, my notes skyrocketed. it's that simple.
3 (most challenging). keep doing what you're doing and develop an original idea of your own that BECOMES the thing that people draw fan art of. spend years drawing, filling up your blog (or whatever it is) and being sure to only show your best work, and work yourself to a point where it's not as hard to make a drawing that doesn't look like shit. then you can spend more time on the actual idea. try (if this is within your goals) to get into real industries, studios, etc.
>>1861188
(cont'd)
the primary component of all of those (but especially the last one) is perseverance. i'm sure you have some perception of the value of hard work, but to really put it into perspective, think of the artists you aspire to and really try to consider what their path was. achieving a goal like this is really something that requires you to get realistic and will possibly even develop your character. how far you get is indeed partially contingent on your natural skill, but also on how badly you want this. take comfort in the fact that you have a clean slate and nobody knows who you are yet. they have nothing but your now small collection of works to judge you by. make it matter. and don't forget you're only human.

I can't believe you actually put my study on there, it wasn't even finished and I gave up on it
>>1849450
Every attempt counts, at least you tried.
Any good reference to learn all them art secrets?
My buddy's birthday is coming up and him and I are on an amateur Dota team so I thought I would get some art work to put on a t shirt. I seem to be having an unusually hard time finding someone to commission that isn't chibi bullshit.
You can try on here if you want. Provide your contact information, description of the project, and budget.
>>1844606
Sure thing.
Mobile email: [email protected]
Budget: $40-$80
Description: 2 frame comic.
1st frame Treant Protector holding a Phantom lancer kitten
2nd frame Full grown phantom lancer holding a radiance in one hand and a diffusal in the other.
I bet that a lot of people here would do it, if the budget was right. Is the image you posted something like what you'd want? There could be a few people on that skill level here.

thanks, I kept remembering it along the lines of "baroque" which obviously isn't right
I want to get into sculpting. I have some ability to sketch and stuff, but I don't know if I even have the materials I need to start sculpting. For example, I don't know how much table space I should aim to have (for small figures in the 1' range at most, at least to start) or where to look for beginner resources. Any advice? I could take a class, I suppose, but I kind of need to work on my own schedule because of all the uni projects I have this semester.
Use your hand
Dont take classes just pick up some clay and start messing with it, get experienced with depth and looking at something in three dimensions. I recommend starting with super sculpy. It's firm, flexible, you can bake it in the oven or boil it in water if you sculpted onto plastic (like if you were making a mixed media project or a custom toy).
As far as readings go you should check out this book "POP SCULPTURE" by Tim Bruckner and Zach Oat. Its focuses mainly on how action toys and those high end comic book character statues are made but its really informative and the writing has allot of humor to it.
>>1842803
OP here. Not quite coincidentally, I think, I ended up buying a couple pounds of super sculpy on my own. I'm having a really hard time making it not look lumpy. Should I just try and get it right with sanding?
