>>2426763>Unfortunately, /ic/ is slowly turning into /r9k/I feel like every board is turning into r9k, let's not have a debate about sjw here but honestly I see more 'tfw no gf' and racism/anti-sjw baiting than I see sjw shit on ic. How are these robots multiplying when they have no gf anyway?
>>2426763This board is never monitored, people will go back to posting whatever they want next thread.
>>2426262I have, that's why I'm saying this.
What should I change?
>>2426752Moth mom?
if you were never once called talented, what in God's name motivated you to pick up a pencil and call yourself an artist you sorry pieces of fucking shit?
I always enjoyed doodling as a kid, so I decided to take it further. I've never had any sort of talent or disposition for art, but nothing else gives me the exhilarating feeling that creating art does.
>>2426907Actually when you start doing quite good at drawing everyone who likes it and doesn't know about art will call you talentedAnyway you just need the passion to start and don't stop just because you don't see instant results and lots of hard work
>>2426907I met my best friend in 4th grade and we both liked to draw a lot. He, however, was born with a natural aptitude for it and I, well I never had an ounce of talent.But it never mattered, because we were kids and all that mattered was that it was fun.15 years later, he is a teacher and I am an artist (and soldier).I don't know what point I had with this anecdote, but maybe you can glean something from it,
>m-muh talent
I don't hate talented peopleI pity themThey are blindEveryone around them has told them they are amazing and perfect in every waySo they stopped improvingUntalented people were ignored and learned quickly that they need to buckle down and improveIn the end it's the untalented people that become the best artistsIf that's your art OP or it's someone elses art that you think is good then I should really tell you that it's not and the only reason it's not good isn't because the artist is talented or not but it's because they haven't studied.You can't understand what a human looks like or how perspective works if you've never studied those things before. Nobody is born with knowledge
How do they make stones look so soft?
>>2423078Damit! I was going to post this
>>2422910Nah, this is simple.This type of shit just blows my mind.
>>2426719Even this.Making it look sheer.Wow
>>2426719This may be a dumb question, but how are they able to achieve all that layering in the netting?

>>2426243also here is some random 2D test from me to judge for you, because the last pic was not my worki kinda gave it up years ago because it just takes too much time if you want it to look sweet.
>>2415601awesome first time i see the second part
>>2425549>I'll hold off on that until I get the basics down.>Fancy lines will never cover for a lack of skill.Do you skim a lot Anon?
i need help with this. it feels so akward and out of place. been practacing with this tween motion stuff. i suck at frame by frame and flash is also fucked with the weird exporting
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.
post your paintings, wips, ideas, etc. if it is oil, acrylic, watercolor or whatever else. so long as there is paint on a surface. share, critique, etc
>>2426757god forbid someone draw what they like to draw. anon fuck off

Hey guys please don't be too harsh! This is only my second portrait. Any thoughts on it?
18x24", need to rework some areas on here. Apologies for the shine, photographing wet work is difficult.
>>2426930Can't really describe it but I just love the dark tone to this man. This is my kind of art! Great job!

What's your opinion on this school, /ic/? This is one of the two schools I might apply to.
>>2425576>I stopped trying to be friendly towards himAre you going to write about it in your xanga too?Oh grow up and play the game
>>2421980so call it egalitarianism
>>2426734xanga?
>>2426714Out of state tuition is almost $42,000. At that price you might as well go to Calarts, senpai. Just make sure you don't end up in the non-representational wing
Hey guys I would like to hear some critique on this painting and maybe advice on how much I should sell this painting for. This is my second portrait, I used acrylic paint and it's on a 20 by 16 inch canvas panel and it means a lot to me if I could get some pointers. So tell me if you like it or don't like it and please state why! Thanks everyone!
Here's another photo! Sorry for the lighting. I can take another if anyone's interested!
what!
>>2426811what?
>>2426811ok guys, this is the our time to shine: do not respond. hide the thread, and report.
i name this "Endangered Species 2016"

>>2425007>barbie doll-like unrealistic
Apologies for this. Was gonna flesh it out a bit more and forgot some things, I got real tired.
>>2426836I'm realizing that I make eyes too big a lot of the time. Thanks anon!
>>2425434>those flat bluesdid you intentionally leave it unfinished?
Is there any point studying art at university?It seems like a huge waste of money when you could just teach yourself.
>>2422359Depends.I started on a unoversity since I didnt know what I wanted to do with my life, but I'd rather do something rather than sitting home doing nothing all day (university is almost free over here, but that you can feel in the quality of the school..). I do regret it since I could have learned everything that they have thaught me on my own, and faster, and there's a lot of things that is completely irrelevant to me, but at the same time I know that I would not have gone into art without it, not found myself a goal, both in art and life. Also, having classmates who are interested in the same field as you is very motivating.
>>2422359I bet this faggot still got like 30 people commenting on his piece that likes it
>>2422359Idk. My friend goes to art school that is actually pretty amazing.It probably helps a lot more if you don't drill yourself as often and puts you in the mindset you need.>>2424163You need a license to practice medicine. It is illegal otherwise. You can be good at art without having a degree. They're not really things you can compare.
>>2422370Socialize with the right people, though. DO NOT put yourself in a hugbox.
>>2422359If you go to a non-bullshit classical art school like vid related, or an atelier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpxrY0O40Ic
someone's calling out Irakli on level up. my sides.
>>2413915Way to completely avoid what he was obviously fucking getting at.The social implications aren't the point, you fucking moron. Their ability to draw is the point. You're splitting hairs on an irrelevant part of his argument.I'm not even someone who tends to bitch about paintovers/photobashers but this pedantic shit is useless.
>>2426553theyre just excuses for photobashers anon.
People that blatantly copy other artists don't care about create art or the morals behind it. They just want the likes and attention.Like this guy. This is no better than just copying a photo.pic related is the copy.
>>2426890this is the original.
>>2426890>>2426891but thread is about irakli, not that guyalso, despite the shitty water/semen, the skin render is pretty solid, you can see proficiency on it. i'd like to see someone at /ic/ do it better. hair is terrible too.
Hey guys, I just got this sick idea how we can make an alternative to the TP thread.We could be a little more creative and craft our very own princesses or [spoiler]princes[/spoiler]Not that the design in the TP charts aren't good, but I think we can expand on that.Let's just give it a go and see how it goes.>What do you guys think?Oh and if you spot mistakes in the pic then just point them out so we can make it better.
>>2423889based.
Writing a script for this with homemade dictionaries to practice awk and sed and I'll post it here. What kinds of words would you like to describe them princesses? I already made a dictionary of occupations, dictionary of fantasy creatures and a dict of generic adjectives. If you want more options then pls suggest something. It would also save me time in searching if you posted some web with a big list of the kind of words you want, doesn't matter if it's weirdly formatted as long as it's text I shall use mighty magic of awk and sed.
Ok rollll
