What do you listen to while drawing/painting?
I like listening to post rock and more chill instrumental stuff
Dark side of the moon and goodbye yellow brick road.
Audio books, podcasts, and whatever music I'm into at the moment.

is purple stronger than blue?
is orange the most underrated colour?
these questions and more may be answered in this thread.

>is purple stronger than blue?
Define "stronger". I don't think any hue is stronger than any other hue really. It's only one property of colour, and one of the less important ones too.
>is orange the most underrated colour?
No, if anything it is overrated. Traditionally warm colours like reds and oranges have been given more emphasis in art than cooler colours.
>>2517953
generally people define color strength as what is "hardest on the eyes" so in the category of red being the strongest and green being the "weakest" what would purple be in comparison to blue?
>>2517958
I've never heard that definition for colour strength. And why is red the hardest on the eyes and green the weakest? What if you have a bright toxic green colour?
It's kind of a weird way of approaching colour though since colour is all relative. So making absolute statements about the impact or strength of isolated colours is somewhat pointless, especially when only dealing with hue and not discussing saturation or value.
Can you guys recommend the best Watercolor courses out there that is extensive and covers beginner to advanced materials?

uhh not many people here use watercolors. try to check through book thread, maybe read up on some other forums about it. do your own research.
Is there any book that covers the basics for that sweet sweet silver age style?

"How to draw the Marvel way" is pretty much exactly what you're looking for. Also a great book overall on drawing from imagination.
>>2517671
dude, use the books thread.....
what the best way to practice painting faces on photoshop? I mean as in an effective way to learn besides repititions
even simple ways to paint. Idc.
>>2517390
You seem to want an easy way instead of the proper way. Tracing is probably a good substitute for skillfor you, find something like DesignDoll and pose and trace for your enjoyment.
This also seems like a good question for a thread for question that don't deserve their own thread, keep a lookout for that.
>>2517508
The only helpful advice you gave is to go find the question thread
Im designing my own logo for my business, its a tattoo and piercing shop with thoughts of offering graphic design/illustration as well.
I'd like to know what do you think of my logo? Is it legible? Catches your eye? Conveys the info? Looks good?
>>2517303
>5 CORP ION'S TING TUDIO
Perfect, print 3,000 of them as business cards.
>>2517303
Could be one of the worst logo designs I've ever seen. The scorpion silhouette with the name in a clean font or written with a brush in black and white could work though.
Hello, anons. I just wanna know if there is any of you that takes art as job, life basically depends in creating art or have reached a high level in drawing stuff and also how any event in your life could try to screw up with your passion (if art is it) or how it succeeded to screw up with you. Yeah, I kinda want to know your life history until you become what you are now and how did you do it.
As example, I can talk about how I was trying to be an artist when teenager but having to study and to do more things because of pression from parents killed all my time to draw and...

all i hear is excuses
>>2516171
I do it for a living and I have screwed up before. When I first started applying for indie gigs 3 years ago I got very bad clients but learned to talk business and look out for red flags. It's all max comfy now.
Honestly if there's anything that gets in your way when it comes to making it, that's your fault.

cute
Could anyone tell me how the artist of this achieved the colors on the pillar? I'm assuming this is digital art, but it looks like oil paint, doesn't it? I tried recreating it in photoshop, but I just don't understand how.
To clarify I'm talking about the texture, sorry English is not my first language and its late :^)
by not being shit?
go practice, read the sticky or something and don't come back until you have real questions
fucking newfriends
fucking if i know dude, i literally dont understand how to render in digital painting and it makes me feel stupid
Fucking tired of being a nobody!!
Sorry for the rant, but i was looking to spit it out.
The real meaning of this is to improve my skills.
I wish to know how to apply good values to my artwork. It seems like i fucked up this shit again...
thanks annons.
>>2515950
any hint on values and stuff? Maybe you can gide me on a better way of colors for my lines? :D
>>2515950
How do you feel about the Google Tilt Brush. Are you interested in the artistic implications?
i feel its less painting and more sculpting, fun nonetheless if only i had money
It's in early days yet, I'd like to see where the technology goes, If there was the possibility of doing digital sculpture the way we do digital painting I'd love it. I tried 3-D modelling and I hated it, I want holograms and shit.
>>2517714
interesting, but I'd like it if there were tools, and if it wasn't aimed at children directly
It's art.
>>2517650
Of all you could make, you made this.
>>2517650
nice art ver talented :D
Okay, so I am becoming an illustrator, and I am wondering something about student quality and artist quality mediums.
Does it really matter what quality of paint or pencils is used for your art? I am very stingy with money and my materials vary from student and professional quality, so does it matter what quality of paint or pencil I use?
>>2516766
Pencils it doesn't really matter much.
Student paint is cheaper because it has less pigment and more filler. So it is also more translucent and looks worse and you end up using more of it anyways.
Buy the professional line of paint, and if money is tight then use a limited palette (Zorn palette is one of the more famous ones, but if you research you can find many different limited palettes). I also would avoid the real pigments for things like Cadmium colours since they are very expensive. Buy the...

if you're poor, use student grade, no big deal
if you can afford it, use artist grade, it has more pigment so you won't need to make as many passes.
>>2516799
cadmium is also poisonous, so it's not exactly easy to come by
Stephen Silver (for those who don't know, he was the character designer for many popular cartoons and also made a well known video about how you should not do art for free) 's website got hacked by a bunch of Muslim Hackers
don't know why they targeted him
http://www.silverdrawingacademy.com/
>>2517501
Of all the people and websites, why him?
I expected a butthurt programmer who wanted to pay an artist with exposure to be the one who hacked him.
Has Steve said anything about this on twitter and the like?

Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA.
hey /ic/, i'm looking to apply to some concept artist/UI artist positions in my area, and i was wondering how/if i can go about showing some work i've done for a previous company? and should i ask for my company's permission before letting some of the work i've done for them is shown to others?
i know some people password lock their pages with work they've done for other companies, but is this ethical?
some mingzhu yang for your troubles.
>>2517640
I don't see why not unless they specifically said to you in the contract to not share it anywhere.
IMO best way would be getting low-res sample of your work or detail or even sketch, credit that it was done for such and such company and all should be well.
>>2517643
>I don't see why not unless they specifically said to you in the contract to not share it anywhere.
ah, well isn't an NDA's purpose is to serve just that?
good idea on the rest though.
>>2517646
Did you not read what you signed? Anyways, as a general rule, you can post the artwork on your site or whatever after the product has been published. If it is internal early concept stuff some contracts though don't allow it to ever be shown publicly.
You can show it in private via email in pdf or whatever when talking with other companies, just mention it is NDA so not to be shared and don't discuss those other projects in detail, just show the artwork. This is a very common practice and without doing...

should I learn to draw before I attempt painting?
>>2517324
Most painting errors are actually drawing errors. That said, it doesn't hurt to practice both simultaneously.
>>2517326
This
Do both at the same time. Some people wll tell you to master drawing before painting which is virtually impossible just make sure you're not a complete beginner at drawing, know your fundamentals and start painting. Painting is where the ride actually starts.
