I can't fucking keep up guys. I can't fucking do it. Every fucking day I wake up and I can spend the next 4 hours going through emails, notes, messages. As soon as I log into skype I get assaulted by 20 people who I don't even remember adding. If I don't log into skype atleast 10 of those message me somewhere asking me how I'm doing and when I'm logging back in. What the fuck, how do I make it stop??? People get so angry when I don't reply too.
Is it time to get an agent or something? Time to quadruple rates??? Fucking hell I don't...

You need to remove the people you don't want to talk to and only reply to the messages that need a response. If you get a lot of the same questions asked over and over create an FAQ.
Keep your real life separate from your work life and learn to skim+prioritize
Could pulp art make a comeback?
that particular one is a good read anon, Lovecraft shadow out of time is one of my favorites .
I hope it does.
>>2536971
Probably, but it would be done with a wink and a nod. Really the only way it could come back is if it was intentionally ironic.
How do I draw well with a mouse? Tablets are not an option atm.
>>2536902
Learn and do the fundamentals with mouse. Drawabox lesson 1 is good for learning how to control a mouse precisely. It takes longer than your pencil, but hey, why not.
>>2536906
drawabox looks cool, checking it out atm. thanks famillia
>>2536902
Play Mario paint. That's how I learned.
Why is it so hard to gain loyal followers online?
My style is kind of nice to look at and I'm already pandering at a certain group of poeple.
Still, the numbers are only increasing really slow. (I've got like... 400 followers in 6 months. But only around 20 actually seem loyal.)
maybe the quality of your work is really shit?
>>2536564
nah, probably not

Blog?
Has anyone tried the Watts Atlier online drawing course? If so how was it? I'm thinking of trying out a month
>>2536247
Ah meant Atelier
Hey everyone, it's the Watts shill!
>>2536273
So I'm guessing Watts is a meme?
Are there any downsides to painting something in black and white and then adding color to it later? I see a lot a few artists do it, like artgerm for example, and I'm not sure if it effects the quality of the painting.
Like, obviously, this painting is good, but I feel like I can tell it was painted in black and white first. That may just be bias due to the fact that I knew he did it that way.
>>2535418
I think it's more obvious in this picture.
>>2535418
Can't tell that it was originally a black and white piece but it just seems like a waste of time to paint it black and white just to repaint it with color desu
>>2535418
Artgerm is a newie
How am I supposed to learn from figure/gesture drawing? I've just been breaking the human form down into shapes and trying to memorize how things connect and bend, but I find it hard to remember and draw these things when it comes time to draw from imagination.
Help?
>>2537765
Draw more and stop making shit threads.
>>2537765
Draw it more until you remember. Understand instead of just copying.
>>2537765
Gesture drawing is kind of my only talent, so here I go.
When you do gesture drawing, you should care less about form/contour and more about the rhythm of the body. That means that you shouldn't draw the joints, and rather, draw /slight/ noodle arms and legs, where they bend at a natural curve. As for memorization, all I can say is pay more attention. It's all about internalizing the image, rather than just copying it. I'll draw some and annotate it for you, gimme a sec.
Hello, I am interested in picking up sculpting to supplement my studies, I think it would be very beneficial for visualising form and memorising anatomy. My budget is workable, though I probably wont make anything taller than 20 inches because of storage.
Does anyone here have experience sculpting with physical media? Suggestions on beginner materials (clay, armatures, tools), books, tutorials would be appreciated. Sculpts welcome (yours or not). How do you store/preserve your sculpts in between long breaks and after finishing them? Do you fire or cast it?
just get basic clay, it's dirt cheap. best price/performance ratio. just make sure you get clay without chamotte, unless you plan to fire it. i would advice against it though. you have to hollow your sculptures for it, and it's a hassle, also you would need access to an oven. plaster cast is the way to go in my opinion.
storing a sculptor is easy, you just water it with a spray bottle and then cover it with a plastic bag. you have to re-water it like every two weeks, though.
youtube has quite a few tutorials just look for "portrait sculpture"

thanks, can you approximate the size of that sculpture and how much clay you used for it?
Rate this crest pls

Pig seems disjointed from the rest of it. If it were sitting on top of the tower maybe some kind of meaning could've been interpreted there.
>>2537658
The wild boar was to replace the crown or a helmet, but i agree, it might be better if it was on the tower.
Btw i am gay vegan
Some shitposter a while ago talked about anatomy books rather than drawing.
Does someone have a recommendation? Some book that I can use for drawing.
Or is there any good drawing book that also specifies things like muscle, how flesh moves, how muscles contracts and shrink, etc. That stuff.
Sticky has nothing.
Anatomy for the artist by Peck
>>2537526
>>2537522
Not a book, but the Proko anatomy course. How more specific do you need to be than learn what exact ribs the serratus anterior inserts to? He covers all that technical stuff while having a focus on the forms.
He uses a lot of 3d animations and footage of live models in motion to illustrate muscle deformation. That shit is most definitely not covered in any medical anatomy texts.
I've been meaning to start a web comic for quite some time, but I'm facing a few struggles:
>1. Writing
While I have over 12 stories and literally hundreds of OC characters, none of them are complete story-wise. I have beginnings, events during the stories, and endings, but I'm not that good of a writer so I can't seem to connect events or add interesting "meat and potatoes" and I want to avoid uninteresting filler. When I do write, things are too visual as I feel the need to explain every little detail about...

Rate my poems
I made two poems all by myself, both are based on real stories
Utopia is coming to town
Today im high
I dont know why
My heart pumps happiness
But some things are still crappyness
I want to change the world
Make it a better place for you and your wife
Your children and your future grand children
The only thing that is necessary
Is to do something functionary
We need to gas the kikes and remove the kebab
Together lets make a better world for you and me
For Gandhi and for the homeless children
For Jesus...

Wow. A poem made of /pol/ memes. My kids would love it. In fact, the first sentence my daughter ever said to me was: "this is an illustration board, fuck off to /lit/"
>>2537333
Whoever said art can only be leftwing was wrong, am i right?
I mean if this isn't art, i don't know what art is ;)
>>2537339
while poem can be art, this board is named wrong, it's focus is illustration, with very little traditional sculpting

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works 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.
