>>2432518Why did you have to do this to me? You knew I would complain that you chose a study to represent your work. But you aren't nearly as bad as I thought you'd be.
>>2432521Its not a study its from a life drawing session
>>2432521yeah admit defeat like the little bitch whore you are and keep slurpin' on that dick like a 7-11 slurpie
>>2432532he aint slurping your dick no more, hands off my nosebro
>>2432535BUT I WAS ABOUT TO CLIMAX DAMN IT
They should burn all these kinds of books they cause to much damage to new age artists
>>2432369This book or a book like it? Books like this aren't a problem for a hobbyist. The author of this one in particular is notoriously bad at drawing though. I think Michael Hampton is a good start if you're serious about figure drawing. He lays things out pretty clearly for beginners.
>>2432305I don't see a mayor problem... Less competition in the future :^)
>>2432172it can solidify a bad habit, this is good enough.>>2432324as long as that isn't a comic book, they could have just skimped on the artist... remember scholastic is for i think 7th grade and younger... at least that's the last time i got a flyer for their books in school. >>2432130jezza is an animator, when he is talking about animation its usually a fuckload more helpful then the drawing shit. >>2432327honestly, its not completely fucking horrible, you can see potential of getting better some day, may not gravitate toward realism, but will still get better.--------------------------------just for everyone in the thread, that book isn't completely fucking anyone who wants to get better over, the first thing you need to have if you want to art is a critical eye, if you honest to god cant see something is wrong with your art, you will not get better no matter what you learn from.

Hey /ic/I wanted a nice screen tablet and my stupid fucking mom got me a waicom bamboo tablet. Is there a good use for it, I'm having problems drawing on it because I can't see what I'm drawing.
>>2432036fuck off for dirt talking your mummy you faggot
>>2432101As someone who used an Intuos 4 Medium since 2009, and just got a 22HD Cintiq Touch, I promise you the Cintiq is a million times better. Your hand "getting in the way" is not even remotely an issue.
>>2432311Post work?
>>2432311I'm not that anon, but it was an issue for me with cintiq. Another annoyng thing was that your hand's movements are 1:1 to how the cursor is moving, so your hand moving much more so it gets a bit tiring and it slows me down comparing to a regular tablet. And paralax is still there which is a bit annoyng. Of course you will get used to it overall, but to be honest for it's price you can buy yourself a nice pc, great monitor and a new Intous. So, it's not worth the money for sure.
>>2432036wow your mom sounds like a dumb bitch.
Post inspirationI just love the expression here
>>2427372It does get samey. I think a lot of his pieces would be better if the only thing he did different was reign in his compulsion to add a mech.

>>2431536is anyone else really really really tired. Just really tired.
>>2432340I thought I was going to try doing miniatures but got too caught up with the 1st attempt, I wanted to refine it more but my wrist is numb af Same brush as >>2432340 but changed the angle jitter to direction instead of pen pressure
>>2432519go take a nap. its easy to confuse mental and emotional tiredness with physical tiredness because those come along with it. you probably just need some sleep.
>>2432526I don't sleep. I can't.It's been days. And nights. I don't remember how many at this point.
>>2432519yea, i keep getting up an hour later each day.

>>2432400I haven't started a single anatomy study.I'm going to do that after I'm better at all of the other fundamentals.
>>2432480Anatomy isn't even really the issue, it's a basic proportional rule that the hand is roughly the size of the face, and that the palm makes up roughly half of the hand. C'mon son.

>>2422226>in the real definition of the termah yes the 'no true scotsman' fallacy
>>2422125hey I had people in my school that literally stole their art from some shitty tumblr and posted it on facebook with there signature lol.
>>2420375Imo representational is coming back. But the 'art world' has very much spread into a lot of niches, even the fine art world. Representational art is definitely more respected/loved than it was in the 60s and 70s.
>>2421416Ah dude. Printmaking is the shit. So awesome. I've been doing mostly architectural and figure intaglio prints for a while now and it's so fulfilling.
>>2422125Oh god that drawing is really bad. It's the equivalent to a stale bisquik pancake.

Right now I found some audiobooks of Harry Potter read by Stephen Fry so I'm reliving my childhood with his soothing voice. The books are not written as well as I had thought when I read them as a kid but it doesn't even matter.
>>2431825That sounds so 90s it physically hurts.
>>2431796Wow we got a badass over here

What type of markers does /ic/ use/reccomend? I bought a pretty big set of Prismacolors years ago, but I recently bought a set of greyscale Copics and like how they color and blend. Was thinking of investing in a colored set but was wondering what other comparable alternatives are out there, preferably lower priced but I'm willing to splurge if necessary.Also, general marker discussion thread I guess.
>>2431143They are not the same at all, shinhan touch are the ones i use as you can tell in >2430903 its made in korea i feel like the others are chinese knock offs so the quality may vary.
>>2430745I will never understand that girl's popularity. She can't draw worth a damn.
>>2431324Thanks, I'm new to this. Only bought copics and prismas before. I can't find many reviews of the Touchfives or the Touchliits on line. Bummer.
>>2431487I also agree, but her coloring is pretty neat
First time using copics. Was done rather quickly. Can't tell whether or not it's cringe.
Do any of you have a bunch of anatomy tutorial images you can dump? All of mine (900 and counting, references included) instantly got wiped off my phone. Half of it dealt with female anatomy and hip construction.
>extracting pages from the booksabsolutely disgusting
>>2432457And yet you don't offer your own, superior alternatives. Pissing in the wind today, are we?
>>2432457what if i like it dirty?
>>2430446I can't tell if this is Spiderman or a very flamboyant interpretive dancer
How do you learn how to do these typical ID sketches with 0 drawing skills?I am asking because here people seem to be focused on drawing in general and especially on people. But for ID I wouldn't need that. The focus is on geometric shapes and quick drawings with simple shadows and low detail. Pretty much the opposite of what I see people here aspiring to do.So: how do I start as someone who can't draw straight lines and only shapes from isometric perspective? Is there one book that starts from level 0, expecting no previous drawing skills?If you study/ied ID: how did you start?
Start by drawing simple shapes like cubes, cones and spheres. Working from life would be best. You can make these shapes out of wood, use common objects, or purchasing them (most toy stores would have basic shape blocks for little kiddies you can use). Don't be afraid to use a straight edge ruler, a compass, or a french curve (a curved flat tool to use as a guide to draw curved lines) to make your marks since these are supposed to be technical drawings.
Eventually when you become confident with basic shapes, you can graduate to doing studies of everyday mechanical objects around your house.
>>2432465How exactly do you do studies? Just trying to draw what you see right away or try to construct it out of shapes?
>>2432492I would really like to know this as well
