>Can I just figure draw and study things visually and git gud
Yes, but at some point you need to study anatomy. If books are to boring just start drawing, and when you get into it come back too the books to fix what you lack. Motivation is such a huge thing at the start that it really matters. If shits boring you 100% wont stick with it.

>>2563725
So how does someone increase motivation?

>>2563768
draw what is fun for you.

>>2562066
the question is not which gallery I would shut down, but what kind of gallery I would build

How do I even start with drawing a portrait? I've been trying to start with the outline of the head but its really hard to sketch it out and keep the proportions relatively correct. It always turns out too round or wide etc.

For a beginner that is good. You may be baiting because of your name but you are welcome here. Most people here (including myself) are not that good so, yeah.

Choose photos with good lighting. Draw the forms not flat shapes. Don't be afraid to tweak things instead of copying overly literal.

is that a viable way to learn head drawing?

>>2564101
Yes, though it's not as good as drawing from life

krita 3.0 good
small tablet not good

should have spend more bones for bigger stone tablet

Is that a drawing by loish on the package?

>>2563819
oh wrong one, this is the small one, i have the medium size. best buy had it on clearence, so i got it. so krita> corel 5?

>>2563639
dude he has a bunch of vids telling you how to do this in his youtube, even the witch one thats like 5 hours, its just shapes dude. learn to render edges and shapes in grayscale and THEN try to copy daves style.

>>2563639
>what technique does he use

Like what are you even asking anon, theres a video showing exactly what he does, what more do you need?

>>2563639

He uses the Kinkade technique, it's only taught at the N. Bradley Atelier. They accept 1 apprentice every 5 years though so good luck getting in.

>what is the most reliable way to be able to learn to draw whatever I want.
You.....you know....draw whatever it is you want to learn, over and over again for years.

It takes years to get "good", going through and learning the basics. There are plenty of websites, tutorials, videos out there for illustrator/concept artist wannabes going through things to study and how to do it. It just boils down to doing studies of figures, landscapes, color, rendering, texture, lighting,...

OP here

>learning the basics

well of course, i agree with you but i guess what i was trying to say is that is there some kinda of way to learn all of that in a linear way? one of my biggest problems was that i would jump around trying to draw, buildings,people and clothes. i have never attempted to draw legit landscapes or animals or plants. i'm overwhelmed by everything i'm supposed to learn.

1. Get a (part-time) job so you won't be starving but "not-quite full, not-quite warm and safe".

Jump right into fantastic job opportunities such as night guard in parking lot or construction site, cashier in theatre or small cinema that no one comes to, shady hotel/hostel receptionist on night shifts and other jobs for life failures where you have big downtime and can dedicate that time to art.

2. Spend several years like that, git gut, supplement your job with commissions, become studio artis-haha, actually become yet another graphic designer,...

Why don't you read a bunch about what different religions/cultures think heaven's like then make up your own version rather than ripping off visuals from something that's already been done.

It'd be way more interesting than whatever boring shit you were going to do.

Is this really the extent of the research you want to do when making your piece?

I'm not going to pretend that I am an expert in logo design or that I have a lot of experience in graphic design, since professionally I've mostly worked in illustration, but personally I would integrate something thematic from the game into the design, like in your example.

Personally I'm not very interested in typography, so I'm more interested in integrating imagery, and integrating text with that.

This is something I threw together on the weekend.

Art isn't just about making pretty pictures. There's a lot of business sense involved too, the people that forget that don't get jobs. Most graduates don't get jobs anyway, they just get an "experience" and a huge fucking bill lol

Also, pretend we're a potential client or art director and post your art for the sake of the thread.

i went to an art school, did ceramics, and now i work doing storyboards and keyframes for a small production company.

so...
ceramics = job in film and tv.

take it all with a bucket of salt art school rarely actually gets you a job in the field that you study.

i know some real fuckwit scammer types of artists that are total shit at ceramics that got jobs within the ceramic community after school, so, yea. its all up in the fucking air as far as im concerned.

go to art school for booze, sex, and magic.
if you expect anything more to happen, your...

There's absolutely no overlap between "ceramics" and storyboards/keyframes.

That sounds like a total load of horseshit but whatever.

Magnificent anon, I'm in tears.

Its the most beatiful thing i have seen in this delusional board
Im not even joking,you know why? Because i seen something deep here,the struggle of Lacoonte being updated,but its not the punishment of the gods but the punishment of our own consumism,of our belief in a system that absorb our life,the giant snakes becomes the precious technology that make our life a deadlist fantasy,they not punish our bodies tought,they punish our spirit,it all becomes layers upon layers of denial,sintomatic of a society full of irony.

Too many bays and islands, gets a little noisy and loses the general shape in all the frayed edges.

Better?

As for bays, could you point out some areas you would change in particular?

>>2562149
why do the lakes have huge islands
why do lakes have rivers going to the sea
why are there no mountains
etc
