/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Here’s the one I did of Infinite Crisis, which is my favorite comic

you pose it in the way you want to draw your character, and use the mannekin to draw your base sketch by following that pose/perspective before adding your own details like hair or clothes.

stick them up your ass

If you're a pro you can probably pull anything out but there's no need to make your life harder like that. A lot of the time having semi decent tools at hand can save you a lot of frustration that working with inadequate materials brings. There's no need for instagram mom tools either but just something nice that you can find in an art supply shop but which won't cost you a kidney. Or at least that's been my experience as someone who actually spent a couple of years frustrated why i couldn't make hobby watercolor from the convenience store work on copy paper. (In my defence, I was 13)

>>7156569
huston doesn't do watercolors, he does gouache with a couple of watercolor tubes in the mix
frazetta only did comps in watercolor so it doesn't matter what he used, also note that him using shitty materials is why none of his paintings survived
the question is fucking retarded and shows you do even draw btw, whether choice of materials mater is entirely dependent on what you're trying to do, you are absolutely never ever replicating zorn with those materials
stop making retarded threads and draw

>>7156596
Does good watercolor paper matter early on? I'm planning on going the gouache/watercolor route where I just thin out gouache when I need something more watercolorish rather than pure watercolor. I just don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for tons of quality watercolor paper just for me to blow through it in a week doing thousands of gradients and garbage scribbles.

I was hoping I could just buy those big boxes of cheap loose paper like this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYYWYB1K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
and eventually upgrade once I don't suck as much. My only concern is that there's something about quality watercolor paper that I don't understand and eventually this choice will bite me in the ass later on

>>7156614
yes, it matters, there's an entire book with nothing but paper comparisons, and early on is when it's most important because you don't know when something not working is you and when it's the paper or brush

I've seen watercolors and gouache vanish quicker than color dyes that are more than 20 years old, lightfastness is what you should worry about, mainly, the rest is due to the fillers that make the paints less vibrant, in the end you may end up with a grayish dull painting with strange colors because they shifted value.

>>7156547
why don't you start faggot

>>7156656
I will when I got the time, need to sleep and do commission.

>>7156665
Holy shit kill yourself

Ignore the sticky, it's needed replacing for almost a decade. Go to /beg/, check the OP there for fresh links. Only post there or the stupid questions thread for the next 3 months.

I wish I was this fit

>but ai art IS art.
>if you think otherwise, just let us know why in your headcanon, why ai images can't be criticized on this board and maybe vve can ban it from this board forever. just give us a valid argument or stop whining like lil kid ffs t

it's not art in the because it contrebutes nothing to the art sphere
giving promtiods advice is piontless because they are pre beg NGMI's who don't draw and as such have no work to speak of or to even begin critique.
simular to proptfaggots there is nothing to critique with AI slop apart from meme edits.
it doesn't understand what a "redline" is nor how it can apply the advice of pro's to improve it's "art" because it doesn't draw anything it generates slop by slamming pictures from it's dataset toghether Withouth any understanding of what it's actually doing, there is no talent to cultivate or uniqueness to appreciate because it has neither.
if you feed it nothing but rembrant it will produce rembrant derivitaves if you feed it chris chans autistic scribbles it will shit out derivatives of sonichu and never evolve beyond that piont because it's a machine that has no taste or independant motivation and as such can never actually develop something unique on it's own.
even with really shitty goady "modern art" you can still clown on the artist for being a kitchy snob and draw amusement from that, There is no piont in clowning on AI slop because unlike a human being you can't hurt it in any way shape or form it's literally impossible to turn it into a lolcow as it's a souless automaton.

>>7156503
So? My dick in your moms ass is getting bigger and bigger yet I don’t see how that matters, apu.

>>7156446
>Chris thread
>Howie thread
>AI slop shilling thread

God it almost makes me want to apply to be a janny and purge /ic/ from all these schizos and trolls

>>7156778
You can however turn people like shadiversity into a lolcow over it

>>7156795
>God it almost makes me want to apply to be a janny and purge /ic/ from all these schizos and trolls
You guys love whining about this stuff. Stop kidding yourself.

>>7156487
You should be drawing ninja turtles or batman. that's why you hate your work, you are not giving your inner child what he wants.

>>7156487
I still haven't' seen this in my recs but see the character around here. what is it?

>>7156493
I haven't watched it either, but it's called "The Amazing Digital Circus". There's two episodes so far. I should give it a watch some time.

>>7156383
Creation always requires suffering.
Your pain has meaning and purpose through art. You get to suffer to create.
You get to suffer for the privilege of depicting your soul in your creation.
You get the privilege of revealing who you truly are, and others will have the privilege of looking at you and your art, commending you for your suffering, as only someone who's been in pain for two decades could create as you do.

Why not embrace it?

>>7156404
>fun
So disingenuous. It's only "fun" if you're satisfied with your current skill level. The only people who have fun are too ignorant to see the flaws in their work to improve.

I dont like vil-poo for 3 reasons
1. Most of his video content is just classroom recordings with poor audio, broken up by students coughing occasionally.
2. These recordings are often 90+ minutes(get to the point boomer)
3. he is not beginner friendly. I think this is the biggest reason why some treat him like the best teacher ever while others see him as meh. The things he says, like "feel the form", confuse begs, but is good for ints+. This is true with his books too.

>>7156390
feeling the form takes like 3 months max. his nma videos are also shorter and are recorded with pro equipment.

>>7156357
Bug.

>>7156357
His dick must be constantly wet from the amount I see him getting sucked off on this board.

>>7156357
>>7156484
I don't ever see work around here that really reflects his teachings on form. just feel it guys! do you feel it, or just like to say the catch phrase?

>>7156631
>
thats nothing. its just aifags sending money each other in ze secret closed circle.fr, same as with nfts bac in ze days

>>7156522
>he believes anything a 4channes says without a proof
Do you have brain damage

>>7156631
Interesting. What is their marketing strategy? How do they get so many subscribers so fast? It can't be just by posting 10x a day, or? Can bioartists even compete?

>>7156646
I don't know but they get followers on x really fast because they're constantly uploading every day. I've seen one asshole AI account uploading other artist's art among his AI prompts while shilling his AI patreon too

>>7156661
I too blame Elon and his ex gf.

>>7156296
Can you have fun drawing a single piece of the thing that made you want to start drawing?

>>7156296
Draw what you want, even if it turns out completely shit. Then reflect on what went wrong, choose one thing, go study that thing for a few days, then try again.

>>7156296
Then trace it

>>7156296
>That is way, way above my skill level
so what

Keep trying to draw what you want until you're at the skill level to draw it well, it takes years and lots of dedication to get good my friend

>>7156284
There's probably something to be said for honing the skill of drawing correctly in a single go, rather than allowing for any mistakes, so it's probably good to do. I remember owning some art book where the artist swore by it as a daily exercise

>>7156284
Yeah it all improves your skills, even if it’s just practicing your observation by having to properly LOOK at the people around you, or if it’s just revising and reinforcing things you already know
Kim Jung Gi and Katsuya Terada doodled any time they could, Terada even calls himself rakugaking, “doodle king”

>Does random doodling, in your opinion, improve your drawing skills to any significant degree?
no.
entertaining yes but does nothing
it's leas resistance what you already know recycling no new input
>doodling the people you see around you,
yes.

1 week of studying=1 year of doodling

Yes it can help

Pablo Picasso is the reason why I respect the Japanese so much.

Picasso was reacting to the advent of the camera, and the fact that people didn't need realistic art anymore.

He tried to find a way out for artists, a way to do things that the Camera couldn't.

Unfortunately, he went in the wrong way and created monstrosities. On the other hand, the Japanese invented anime, the ideal aesthetic that cameras cannot capture.

The Japanese perfected what Picasso spent his whole life pursuing.

fuck yeah Quake II

ロリじゃねえぞ?

what kind of mechanical pencils work BEST for drawing? what kind are unacceptable? how do sleeves and wobbly tip/anti-break factor in?

>>7156723
avoid gimmicks like anti breaking and auto feeding or auto sharpen

>>7156728
so just a normal drafting pencil?

>>7156735
yeah, Pentel Sharp is an all time favourite for many people but I find a thicker pencil more comfortable so I use the Dr Grip

>>7156777
>Pentel Sharp
does the size matter?

also with the Dr. Grip, is the shaker okay?

>>7156209
one mans trash...

>>7155864
There right ways to breaking rules and there are wrong ways.

>>7156416
>render impeccable form at a master level
>looks like shit because the composition is non-existent, don't understand proper anatomy, colors are basic and bland, gesture is stiff and robotic, lighting doesn't make sense

>>7156453
ah, the proko special

>>7155864
>>7156440

This. There's a difference between breaking a rule and simply not following it. Even when a skilled artist suggests that a rule should be broken, they insist that you learn the rules first, don't ignore them.

I will not draw a box or square

>>7155895
Young niggas won't know this

>>7156215
I'm young but not a nigger.

>>7155983
t. no draw

>>7155983
Because drawing endless boxes is an excuse to never actually draw anything while making it seem like you're busy.

Who are you quoting?

>>7155893
me

Haha, the ape-man has broken himself by connecting the parts of his brain that process visual information with the parts responsible for ideation so that he pretends he's hallucinating the seed-bearing fruit of the Malus Domestica. Such fun, now let's observe him erase the bad memories of his ex-girlfriend from his brain and convince himself that it's worth a second shot.

>>7155856
I think this is the eternal suffering every artist feels.
