>>1963518it looks boring and basic as fuck0/10 fucking do something else than random white lines to try and make it look more interesting, it just looks sloppy as it is
>>1963717Where I live, people aren't stupid and boring, so we get art instead of blank brick walls.
Hello /ic/, /3/ here. Sometime ago, I saw a video on youtube of someone teaching how to think of the drawing in three-dimensions. It was a great video with a lot of tips on how to sketch objetcs with correct perspective faster, by simply "imagining" them in 3D. The artist in this video showcased this technique by creating a spacecraft and quickly redrawing it in another perspective, and then another view. It was quite amazing. (at least, to a newbie in drwaing like me)I thought they were videos done by Scott Robertson or Feng Zhu, but I didn't manage to find such videos again - maybe they were takend own, or maybe it was mentored by someone else.Do any of you fine gentleman have any idea of what video was this, and where to find it ~preferably for free~ in the interwebz?
>>1961949The sound was pretty amazing aswell, to be quite fair. To be quite honest, I've never had so much fun with a movie, ever.The movie sucks in characters and story, granted. But everything else is so great I didn't fucking care! >Dat Hong Kong Port fight sequenceHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG20 straight minutes of pure joy
Humble little bump
>>1961393What did they look like?
>>1961984>reserve ticket>premiere eve>literally the only one who came to the movie>slight disappointment followed by smug joyIn all seriousness, while I enjoyed the movie, I'd expected more from del Toro. My biggest qualm was with how little we got to see from the other mechs. Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon got very little screentime already, and yet the promotional posters showed way more countries.At some point del Toro revealed they had a lot more footage, (good for another hour or two) but they decided to cut it all out. Hell, if the story's going to be ass, then at least give us more punching time, don't wast it on the pseudo-tragedy with that fucking bulldog.

IS THIS CREATIVE ART? Or just racist?WHITE RAPPER makes RACIST SONG about WHITE PRIDE??? Did this go too far???http://youtu.be/Va1l0oLY5MI
>>1964003i didn't know that cuck has a whole different meaning from cock. i thought it was similar to how people say pron instead of porn to avoid search engine bots.

>>1963883I think you just bit into the shock value of the swastika.Calm down, the song is about as vanilla as a History channel production of pre nazi Germany.
>you will never be kr0npr1nz and make thousands of burgerland dollars every week for copying chinese cartoon screenshotsdoes /ic/ know any other well-known plagiarists/scammers still currently active? traditional art or digital art.
>>1963993read what i said:>being a girl is a multiplier.tht means if she was a man making 2k, then to get 24k would be a multiplier of 12.>where are the other female artists that make this kind of patreon money for being girls?if an artist would normally make 50$ monthly, being a girl would turn it into 600%. 100$ into 1200$ and so on. far from 24k as you can tell.also, he took into account skill, tutorials, etc. and being a man estimated it to 2k, so he obviously didn't state gender as a sole factor. so your accusations are wrong.
>>1963998>%i'm sorry, it was obviously a typo.
>>1963843>MFW the comments section>THEY ARENT 100% THE SAME. NOT PLAGARIZED>this world>the feels>kek
>>1963998This. Reiqs work is on a similar level to, and just as fanservice-heavy as Sakimi chans, and he gets around 2k a month. https://www.patreon.com/reiqAlso, let's compare him to a group of girls who get the same amount of donations for their art: https://www.patreon.com/girlswithslingshotsLet's be honest though, for your average female artist on patreon, a multiplier of 12 would be stretching it. 5 times as much sounds more realistic I'd say.
>>1964036Then why does Kronprinz make 12k a month while his work is way worse than Reiq's? He's a dude and the second highest paid artist on patreon with arguably the weakest body of work.
So I've seen all these "memes" on dA where you draw random shit based on what the theme is, like character age memes and whatnot.Are they any good practice? Do you do them?Also, general draw thread and stuff
>>1964088Why would you go to da for that just go to other boards and start pandering to Anons for example Christ-Chan is all the rage on /pol/ right now.
Anime/Manga/Cartooning Thread"To any man who has slaved to acquire skill in his art, it is most irritating to have his ability referred to as a gift. Perhaps there is one genius in a hundred years or more who can achieve perfection by divine inspiration. I have never met such a man, and I do not know any successful artist who did not get there by the sweat of his brow."Previous Thread: >>1954228A general message to aspiring artists: "Lack of knowledge can be greater torture than the effort of acquiring it. When all is said and done, nature is your best instructor."Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, have fun.This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make stylized work in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.>Fresh off the boat?

In CSP/MS5, for a manga style canvas, do you have to save the final result as a resized image, or save the huge version THEN resize? Both end up in weird antialiasing or just plain blurry. I could just make the canvas smaller but I'm using the default size for manga because it must be that for a reason.
>>1963815hnnnnnng that's so cute
>>1964052you are cute.
Hey /ic/I'm struggling to build a fanbase (got 9 followers in 2014 yaaaayyy). Blamed it on lack of skill, but following discussions on Patreon, I got it: I need to pander to the masses.But what exactly is popular these days? Anime? Anything else? Pin-ups?What kind of art is suitable for getting momentum, a bit of print selling and freelancing while I still work on getting my skill up to MTG level? (I'm only intermediate now)How do you cater to the masses?
>>1964049>never see people asking how to get rich by building computers on /g/ or how to get rich by designing games on /v/, or even how to get rich by making comics on /co/Literally retarded or just never visited those places before.
>>1963984The point is pandering to these fanbases with consistency can get an artist, regardless of talent, much, much more popular and much better paid than if they just did art of random popular series Here's a good example, this guy 30-40k off patreon alone. You better believe it's younger popular shonen loving fans that are his biggest backers
I started drawing on tumblr not too long ago and I got popular by doing this:Around the time I started drawing a pretty popular game came out, I drew the most porn of one of the girls in it and that led to a lot of publicity for my blog.I drew some and had about 1k new followers in a week, about 100 new a day afterwards.I stopped doing that because I was genuinely interested in the girl and another popular one hasn't came up since. But I got popular that way, and continue to.that's something I've experienced, at least.
>>1964076Link to that patreon haha
>>1964076also "absurd" was a relative term, I think it's absurd guys like this can make enough to live on with hilariously bad, simplistic art with no creativity and empty backgrounds>>1964083it's Shiin
Got kind of lazy at the end.
I like how the nose turned out.
>>1964051>i assumed your reasoning would be equally thoughtless and memeticthere's your problem. don't ever assume if you can't be sure. also, you sound frustrated.>>1964059are you shitting on Ruan Jia, m8? wanna f8 about it?!
How can I replicate this brush in photoshop? No matter how much I fiddle with the setting I can never get it right

Unmotivated Losers has open spots! We have a lot of open spots~unmotivatedlosers.deviantart.c…We are an /ic/ based art dA group dedicated to the improvement of each member's artistic abilities through peer support, critiques, and friendly competition. We communicate through Skype group chat and regularly use google hangouts for drawing parties.Here's the link to How it works page:unmotivatedlosers.deviantart.c…Your current skill level doesn't matter.Also if you've been kicked before you CAN join again, we actually encourage it.New features have been added. 5-point system has been replaced with experience and level system. We've introduced quests (specific drawing challenges) for bonus experience. We will eventually introduce character avatars to stick with the RPG theme, but we haven't quite worked out the logistics of that yet. It's quite fun.
Sent a request for an application last week.Still have not received an invite.
>>1962923Waiting list is currently at 9 people.>>1962958Fixed links in second post.>>1962967Invitations are received when spots open up in the group. It's why we ask for an email address so we can let you know when it's sent.
ugh, sent to the wrong account, i forgot deviantart does that stupid shit with turning usernames into icons and glazed over it, plz no kick for being retard
>>1963205My apologies, thank you for clarifying that!
hey, are there still open spots?
Dear /ic/, using ps filter count as cheating? First time i used a filter and i liked it so much, pic related.
>>1964042Yes, it is. I accept that i'm not good but i'm trying to improve. Anyway, I'm not sure about using filters anymore but as the answers /ic/ thinks it's not cheating.
>>1964044Filters are fine, but you can't just slap one on and expect instant improvement. Experiment with different filters, opacities and blending modes, some will look like ass, but you might find a combination that adds some nice detail to your picture.
>>1964037The filter creates some interesting textures on the front ground/rocks, but makes everything else look kinda bad though.
>>1964044We're all improving. Using filters is not cheating, but the result is not an obvious improvement. I tend to make a mental association of PS filters and low quality artwork. If you like what the filter does, why not replicate its effects on your piece?Doing it by hand will make it more organic, and with time you'll understand what is it about the filter that you like, and will be ready to replicate it.
>>1964070>>1964071>>1964073Thanks for good advices, i'll keep these in my mind and try to apply later.
Post your nsfw, critique others.Ask advice, and so on etc. etc.last thread >>1957623
>>1963839I know nothing about horses, I'd never even heard of "draft" or "conformation". I'll just take this to mean it looks passable and I'll go on and post it now. I thought the chest looked too wide and the breasts too far apart so I fixed that up a little, though. Thanks, anons. One of these days I'll do some more extensive horse studies and try to get better at them. I need to anyway, there's a group centaur pic I wanna do.
>>1964043Well, too bad, you spoiled it for yourself.
>>1963839well judging by the penis..
i rike nonnon.
>>1964064I cant see it.
Its all about talent /ic/, you will never make it. You will be only working hard for something you arent born to do.> https://www2.bc.edu/ellen-winner/pdf/talent_in_visual_arts.pdf
>>1962064Using your logic anyone could become a good artist. Do you actually have any idea how many really retarded people walk out there?
Talent in arts is similar to have a high IQ. You cn read a lot to keep your brain it, but you will never be able to reach an IQ 140 if you were born with an IQ of 100.
>>1964040you are putting quantity measures into perception. Perception is different, not superior or inferior. One man's garbage is another man's masterpiece.
>>1964046>its all subjectiveYea enjoy eating shit then. Its all a matter of taste right
>>1964050eat my asshole. it is. there is nothing you can do about it. fuck money.
When is the time to buy a drawing tablet ?What tablet to buy?
>>1963960nahjust buy a cheap $50 tablet and save up slowly for the cintiq, you appreciate the cintiq more once you got it
>>1963966Examples of a cheap tablet ?The pro medium one is expensive as fuck so I'd have to save up for it
>>1964007bamboo create has more active area than regular bamboo and last I checked it was around $120 on amazon. That's ~$80 less than intuos medium for the same deal.
>bought an intuos small>everyone says "should've bought medium">medium is 2expensive4me because lelcustomssucks living in Argencommieland
>>1964035I have a medium and it's too small for me, very hard drawing from the shoulder. Before the medium I had a small one I borrowed from college. If I ever upgrade I'm going to get a large cintiq, but that's only going to be when I get good enough to justify paying that amount on a drawing tablet.
Do you keep your old art?I have plenty of sketches and shit from high school that have been collecting dust for years, don't know if to throw them or not.
>>1964053Scan a few you want to remember or make improvement charts with & then throw it all out. If they are pretty good see if you can give them away to people.
