>>7147742It looks like shit. Do it again, but mean it this time
>>7147741I am a very sucky painter, but the point I want to make is that drawing is the main thing to work on here. Try getting comic books and just making studies from them, figuring out how they separate light and shadow, and how they stylize the features. I recommend the capeshit ones because they have heavy light and shadow, and those shadow shapes can be aped for painting. Mignola is a good choice for shadow shapes and simplified painting.
>>7146938Her face looks quite lively and three-dimensional, but there are a few issues with her mouth, one glaring, and two subtle.First, the Glogau-Klein points of the upper lip are not in alignment with the philtral columns:https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_206bf7095692406c8f96d832ed484944~mv2.jpgSecond, the lower lip is just a bit thicker on the left side than on the right one.And, lastly, the placement of the furthermost commissure appears to be slightly lower than that of the foreground one.
>>7146906can someone advise me on how to shade better? (example work attached) I usually shade by using a clip mask of some <100% opacity of blackish colors, and then do some highlights with some <100% opacity in whitish colors.it doesnt make it look good enough though and i'm honestly not sure what i should do to improve shading pls help
>>7147758Thanks for the tips! I usually sketch a peice out before doing any painting so tried to just get into blocking out. But will definitely look into those rescources! Made some improvements but still got some work to it.

Does /ic/ accept graffiti as an art? What are your opinions on graffiti culture as an outsider?Post your crimes(Bolton, Greater Manchester, England)
>>7146746You win.I wish graffiti “artists” in this city could do better than tags and shitty anarchist symbols.
>>7146788yeah it's tough, look at the bright side, at least it's not like Genova or Bologna where most of the graffitis are commie gobbledygook about abolishing capitalism and starting the revolution
>>7146730...fair enough. It would be less controversial if you guys made a thread about murals in general, rather than just about graffiti. Some murals are really based
>>7142713Are there any cities where artists have used graffiti to organically enhance the environment according to some sort of logic or aesthetic?I.E, I've been tempted to do this myself because things around here are so brutalistic and dull, but what about something where multiple artists organize organically (with no city intervention,) and slowly begin enlivening a place with things that are actually interesting to look at. Turn an alleyway into a psychedelic tunnel, add arabesque patterns to doorways and walkways slowly and progressively, each artist adding something unique like a huge collective drawpile?Are there any places like this where art has overtaken or 'grown' into the space over time?
>>7146996Maybe Lyon? I am sure parts of it are city sanctioned at some level or another but there are a lot of 'organic' pieces there too.

So is there a physical difference or is it just a stylistic choice? I don't have breast
Do any of you have any recommendations for a desk easel for screenless tablets? Specifically a 10 x 6?
>>7146890Yeah, there's a difference. Boobs aren't as unique as fingerprints, but there are still a hell of a lot of visual differences between them all. I'm not sure if I fully understand what you're asking, but I'll try to explain. First pair: shows a set that is on the smaller side of the three, but more average if you're thinking about real life. They're ample, full, have a soft-firm appearance, don't have a lot of weight to them but would still likely need a bra for support.Second pair: this set is larger than average, with the breast tissue being much more on the soft side. The fullness is distributed more throughout the middle to bottom of each breast than it is at the top. Third pair: these lean more firm throughout with even fullness, more rounded in appearance. This can be established with a good push-up bra that helps to redistribute volume towards to top cleavage, with round breast implant shapes, and with natural boobs that have a higher tissue distribution at the top. All of this is subject to changes in the cycle, the types of clothes someone is wearing, or artistic preferences.
Anyone ever taking commissions on Vgen? How's your experience?
>Character design in a mainstream production does something your OC's design does specifically>Now you have to change something you thought was really clever because you know people will draw comparisons otherwiseName something more demoralizing as an artist.
Turns out you aren't as original as you thought you were.But you're still the fag, op. Never forget that. You'll always be the fag.
>>7147001Damn. How will I ever recover.

Why don't you do this, /ic/?Just copy some modern art and sell it for $25,000.You don't even have to know how to paint.
He went out and acquired taste!
There are not art galleries in my city.
Either bullshit or he just got incredibly lucky, meeting the right person at the right time. There are art festivals all over the fucking place where artists struggle to sell shit, shit which I guarantee is more original than whatever this guy painted, for even three figure amounts. Lots of commissioners will quibble over every fucking detail, even on double digit crap, and not just go "GREAT I LOVE IT HERE'S $12,000 NO CHANGES"
And who said I won't do that?
>>7145815Reddit is a site for creative writing exercises. I don't think a single thing posted there is ever real, ironically the anonymous nature of 4chan without the whole incentive of Reddit karma means people here are more likely to tell you a real story than Reddit.
I have been drawing for over a decade and everything about perspective still hurts my brainAnyone else like this?
>>7147698It means you've been focusing on other areas (I hope), pyw.
Just do thumbnails of perspective and set things up with boxesAlso yes I get a headache if I draw perspective, that means the brain is rewiring itself to have a blender 3d program inside
>>7147698I honestly gave up caring and just draw flat shit
this is exactly me. I feel like when it comes to anatomy, light, etc. I’ve been able to study and intuitively grasp these pretty well. and even in the case of perspective I can bullshit organic forms convincinglybut once I have to contextualize an entire 3D environment or draw something really geometric where the perspective has to be spot-on (cars, architecture. etc)… it is so overI’ve been trying to make it through scott robertson’s perspective book and it’s starting to make a little more sense, but I have to go through it really slowly and it seems a lot harder to just internalize the knowledge than with other fundamentals. it makes me feel like such a dumbass because I’ve seen a lot of otherwise unskilled artists able to throw together a decent looking cityscape lol
Yeah. Stuff like color theory or drapery or general anatomy has always felt pretty intuitive to me, perhaps because they require less precision. For similar reasons I think cooking is way easier than baking. These days, I can sort of deal with perspective for landscapes, since those are more conducive to eye-balling. But urban settings? Interiors? Mechanical things? It's over for me
If you're on a break after drawing and feel like sharing what's on your mind about what you're working on, the industry, things that excite you about art, or anything that frustrates you about drawing or the process of art then grab a cup of water and chill out here.

>>7146981Cool wings, cool, hair, cool, cape, cool dragon. Good overall rendering. Good enough effort.Forearms, hands, torso, may need more work. also his shoulder plates should be attached together somehow, I added a strip of something on his chest to hold them. I think bigger plate guards on the arms helps a lot too.Keep the good work anon.
>>7147019So much better, I'm spent. GG. Next time I will not do a 12 hours challenge, it's dumb.
>>7146981Based OP, thanks for sharing your work
>>7147689Thank you, thank everyone who helped me. It was fun.
>>7146583Ngl kinda respect that, another limit to express creativity and draftmanship if done with the right mindset
i dont wanna show my coloring, because when i do color, it ends up looking like this. poor shading and borderline flat.all i wanna know is: how do i STOP and NOT end up coloring like this forever?preferably, something in video format to teach me? i find they usually go in depth more when it comes to instructions and it's easier to keep up with that than written instructions or pictures.
>>7147682>the air brushing is also done a bit senselesslywhat exactly does that mean though?
>>7147686Not him but he meant there's no thought into planes or where the shadows actually go. Look at the girls' eyes. Left has no shading except the hair strand. Meanwhile, not only does the right have shading under the eyebrows to indicate sockets, the right socket is mostly airbushed while the left is mostly cel shaded until it reaches the inner corner. The socket shadows also make it look like there's a big crooked nasal bone between them.
>>7147686I mean its used without much thought but looking at it again I was kinda wrong there was thought behind it. Its just that it works against the shading a bit say like the shading around he eyes of the black girl implies it wants to give this feeling of a nose bridge between her eyes but it doesn't show as well because the airbrush smooths it out
>>7147714>>7147716so basically, certain areas should be harder shaded while others are airbrushed smooth, and the picture is doing both willy-nilly, which makes it lose the impact of shading in general?
>>7147722Yes. Cel shading in general is easier to work with. Too much airbrushing gives a pillow shading effect since soft shading is for, well, soft objects and planes farther away from the object casting it.
