Looks like something Mr. Conceptart would come up with.

His gallery screams memes.
who?
What are the most difficult and or useful exercises you can think of that improve any area of drawing?
Iterative Drawing. Look up sycra's tutorial on it. There will be haters of this technique but it works.
drawing pages and pages of anatomy sketches while devoting no more than 30 seconds on each piece.
keep doing it until you get those gestures burned deep into your muscle memory.
Any tips on drawing fictional characters to look like their real life counterpart?
Picture related, a damn good example of making them look the same.
you're about to stir up a hornets nest by posting that, son

What's your real level /ic/?

I've evolved past the Dunning-Kruger's stage and the masochist d/ic/k stage, so I can say with reasonable certainty that I am of an intermediate level of skill.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

You should post your work ITT and make them a little more relevant in /ic/ even though it would be redundant.
Are political comics still relevant? If so, where can I get ideas for them?
>>2528772
politics
>>2528776
This.
Seriously OP what did you expect?
>>2528776
Well I'm not a political person but I've always found the style very appealing
My sister failed out of beauty school and gave me one of these heads. How bad is practicing with this going to fuck my learning? I can only draw myself so many time and from so many different angles.
Get a realistic head instead of something that is not designed for facial study.
Or practice with this and stay drawing symbolic forever.
>>2527560
Don't listen to this troll, OP, that head looks great. Study it for the next year until it's your ingrained reference for the human face.
>>2527589
Especially the lips.
Have you ever seen someone in public so beatiful you had to draw them?
I already know where this thread is going

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.

that's like, the real pussy, the alternative one is the other half of the drawing you posted
How do you guys get yourselves to do actual complete works?
For too long now I haven't been able to break through incomplete sketches. After like an hour, I just stop and couldn't get back at it
Is there like some sort of practice which increases your drawing endurance?
>>2520761
I also felt that something was wrong with the face but can't put my finger on it. Just because something looks off doesn't mean that I haven't been studying loomis for years and own the books.
The breasts look saggy because of my not understanding how to do the sweater correctly, as I think I made it too baggy. If you look at the flesh body I drew under it the breasts are actually quite perky.
Again thank you for your critique and I am not arguing because you are wrong, just to try and gain more insight into what I did wrong so I can grow from it. Thanks.
Yoo can someone make art off this. It will be a cool pic.
>>2529119
Bump, this is a good challenge.
sure.
how much?
here yoo gooo, some shit tumblr art. I can't believe I actually did it
pic not mine
I have a matte liquid varnish for watercolors, but when I tried to apply it with a brush, it seemed to react with the colors underneath and the light tones faded a bit. I'm going for bright and lively colors, so I really don't want them to fade or tone down...
>>2528516
I have no experience with varnishing watercolour, but if you want the colours to pop you need to go for a gloss varnish. Matte varnish dulls the colours down.
>>2529193
Well, the client wanted it matte... So I'm just trying to find out how to do it.
finally it is stretched on new bars
>changing the symbolism
I've been tearing away at it with a blunt edged palette knife and removing any sickly colours. This is enjoyable as I dig back to fresh bright colours which are probably from when I was happier painting
I also removed a layer from the moon. That was quite a big deal moment and was worth it
this again? Don't you think it's time to leave this for what it is and start something new?
I stand by my statement that it reminds me of the chewing gum-encrusted underside of the tables in high school.
You are wasting both your time and your paint on this. I'm sorry to be so blunt.
It does need a lot of work and money spent on it still
It is running out of time to be finished, our lives are finite,
I'm not looking forward to coming to sell it as the markets are fighting to suppress me, which is one of the most counter productive things I've come across
trying to explain "by trying to stop things in case it isn't yours will leave us with less" isn't easy
as well as "keep taking things off of me in that way will kill me and is seriously hampering my ability"
because ... I suppose that is the intention.
It makes me wonder about other artists , I suppose a lot of them had to weather this sort of thing out. It's certainly not the fun part.
What are yours?
I personally can't stop obsessively refreshing/watching pages for new likes, comments, etc. every time I post up a new piece. I tend not to give a fuck about old pieces that have been up for a long time but when a fresh piece has been posted up I like to check if it got some kind of recognition (otherwise why post on social media?), but it gets uncontrollably obsessive.
>>2526993
I don't know what I would do since I am not good enough to start posting on the web my work, but I would advice to find something to do before posting a drawing, to take your mind off feedback
How many followers or likes/notes/etc are you getting?
I think this is common behavior for people starting out, or for their sites to start seeing growth.
You'll get over it eventually though, once you start having followers in the thousands. Instead of meticulously noting every engagement, you'll only look at your posts once or twice to see if it got an out-of-the-ordinary amount of engagement. You can expect hundreds of likes guaranteed once things that picking up, so you'll eventually stop obsessively refreshing and start focusing on the big picture instead.
Hope that helps!
>>2527000
>How many followers or likes/notes/etc are you getting?
Just a couple per piece usually. Depends on the site a bit though. My most recent thing got something like 7 tumblr likes and one reblog. It was fanart though.
My all time high was 54 tumblr notes (170-something for the same piece submitted to a different page and credited to me), and 85 favorites+5 comments on a dA thing (which happened so randomly and just flooded in for something that was honestly shittier than some other pieces I had, so I didn't even keep track of the feedback on that one at the time).
I get what you mean about the followers in the thousands though. I somewhat can't even really imagine that. Do you even feel any sort of praise/recognition satisfaction from that, or does it just start to become numbers?
How can I paint with my own blood successfully on ceramic?
