How much would you ask to design and draw a single illustration of a website mascot?
Pic semi-related, it's similar to what I'm asked to do.
How long do you think it'll take? Think $30/hr; you can come down a bit if it's out of their budget.

As far as I can tell, it'll be an 8-10 hour job. And was thinking $200-$250 depending on changes and shit. But the dude was concerned about image rights (like dude, you're not alibaba and you will not print or distribute the image in any sort that generates money, I'm basically selling you an illustration). It kinda made me wonder if I was underchanrging drastically.
The image will not be printed or distributed in merchandise or ads or anything that direclty generates revenue, it's not even...

$100. How could it possibly take you 8 hours?
How to be satisfied with a work. Whenever i draw or create music i have this idea in my head of how it should go, i also have high expectations. Along the way i always destroy because of frustration. How do i fix.
Work hard for years

There are good books/guides to start doing portraits? I'm thinking to start with drawing heads and hands by Loomis, but I want to know if there are better options to start with the fundamentals. Simply copying references over and over seems kinda stupid.
>>2588059
Idk man. I think the only way is to do just that. Draw a shit ton of portraits from reference and from your head. That being said, I could be wrong. I am not as good as the quality of work you linked.
>>2588059
pretty much any good art book assumes you know the fundamentals
>read: know what they are
like this one
>>2588081
you are wrong, but not entirely.
there are a bunch of different approaches to drawing and painting the head, but if you don't know any of them you end up just running in circles not learning anything.
When do I start learning to draw anatomy, after learning figure drawing or while learning figure drawing? I'm following proko's tutorials atm but also reading loomis
>>2600774
When ever you want my dear friend
>>2600774
good rule of thumb, if you feel like you're lacking in something, study it. in the beginning when you don't know shit it doesn't matter what order you study them or if you study them at the same time, as long as you get around to doing them both eventually
Do Sakimi glitter effects and draw the eye to boobs & ass and you can hide terrible anatomy that way
I have these pendants I have been painting and I need to sell some to buy more supplies (the saga of the artist). But I have no idea how much to price them for or where would be best to sell them. I am in the US and open to ideas.
The wave & mountain pendants you have on your instagram are better executed than this one OP, so maybe not the best example piece if you're looking to sell.
Your best bet is to look on Etsy to see how people price their charms & pendants, and price yourself accordingly 2bh

Keep material costs in mind too, but don't do it so much as to where you undersell yourself.
Another thing is quality control. Don't just use a bunch of cheap ass craft paint on some shitty key ring and call it...

Thank you for the advice. And thank you for the link. This will help quite a bit.
As to which of my pendants are better then others, that just goes to show how varied people's tastes can be. I thought this was the best, and I am my own worst critic. But that just means I need to broaden my horizons and paint different things if I want to attract a wide audience, I guess.
>>2598564
desu it's just the clouds that really throw off the overall pendant; seems to be that they are more pronounced and popping off the object. The cliffs are actually the best part of that BECAUSE of that 3D aspect, so maybe it has to do with the opacity of the clouds? The sun also has its issues, but minor ones regarding blending out. OP do you do "thumbnails" (sketching out small images) on canvas/paper before you attempt to paint on the metal?
Painting small scale on actual objects is a hassle,...

Do you think digital art will ever be taken seriously in the fine art world?
not even fine art is taken seriously in the fine art world
>>2596948
No, because physically owning a unique thing is what makes fine art. You always know that digital art is not "physical" in the sense that traditional art is.
>>2596955
I know your right. It really sucks though because there's all these cool possibilities and new techniques with digital that I want to use but I'm interested in the fine art world not the entertainment industry. Maybe I should switch over to graphic design or something.

Well, nothing wrong with photobashing.
No rules just tools, etc.
I hope this blinds you.
Have you successfully found job as a freelancer for a quick buck off your work yet? what's the fastest way you've gotten hired/commissioned for one? what are your personal experiences with the whole "making money with your art" thing?
Yes, I am absolutely going to take advantage of your responses, of course. And many others too, probably.
pic unrelated just a tutorial

why final image doesn't look like having a brown skin? rather, purplish blue.
If I understood right, that creature has brown skin. because base color is brown.
is it because blue light is strong?
>>2598920
It's the power of layers, anon. You put all those layers in the respective modes and monster magic happens, in this case I guess the most important ones are the purple multiply layer and blue screen layer.
>>2598927
oh. I'm not familiar with multi layer so I overlooked it. thanks.
Bobby Chiu says you're too old to make art

But OP, I'm only 2 years old!??
bobby chiu is a dickless faggot, watch him interviewing people
What do you guys think about my painting?
>>2597944
Reminds me of this ugly as fuck ink drawing on some cardboard my brother did to be outright bad looking.
He set it at the stairway for days and it would catch everyone's eye as soon as they hit it.
It infuriated my mom and sis that tried to be supportive and tolerate it until they had enough just to find out he sat it there to fuck with them.
I love it i would hang in on my wall.

Kek your brother is such a bastard.

"""I love you because I know no other way.""
Pablo Neruda is a poet and politician from Chili who earned the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1953. This quote is a part of one of his love Sonnets, Sonnet XVII."

ok but this goes on /lit/ not here
>>2599814
He was a pretty mediocre love poet
>>2599814
I have one of his books because an ex-girlfriend left it in my room and I never gave it back. I think it's just like a best of his poems. Should I read it?
