>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.- Andrew Loomis, Creative Illustration/Studies/ General is all about improving your art and never settling for mediocrity.

It's still not a still life, but it was an interesting piece to make, hands, feet and face are meh, but I'm still glad I managed to "finish" it, a month ago I wouldn't have even dared to try.

about 10-15 min each (though i set the timer for 5)
>>7144764No textured brush, no blending, no smudging, minimal color picking You have to train your eye to become extremely sensitive to shifts in “is this more (added) white?” “is this more (added) black?” “is this more saturated?” “is this more desaturated?”And not only that, you have to distinguish the value-changes between these comparisonsIs the apparent value of the color brighter because it is desaturated, orIs the apparent value of the color brighter because there’s more white orIs the apparent value of the color brighter because it was getting closer to yellow (or darker because of red)THEN TRY COMBINING ALL THESE TOGETHER. Because color shifts are never that linear.Then you get fatigued eyes / just fatigued in general and try to make shit brighter by just adding white, when it was actually getting less saturated, or vice versa, or some combination in between where you don't get exactly shift the saturation + value correctly and the final color-value is still off by like 2 or 3 points.*By Color-Value I mean when you look at the final value in grayscale, which Naranbaatar recommends doing frequently.
Why this piece of shit art is so over-rated? It doesn't have even friggin' arms anymore! I would give someone for that five bucks to just throw it away.

Yeah, yeah, another AI thread. Some actual content and consequences of its use this time though. DC has pulled multiple covers from artist accused of AI art use. I'll post the art upclose with some side by sides of his 'real' art and pencils, etc in subsequent posts. How are artists going to prove they draw anythign anymore? How can they pull art like this while having habitual tracers like Greg Land, Mike Deodato, David Mack, etc, etc employed and selling their tracings as real art? For manga, they trace all the time and some manga are tim buckly tier with cut and paste eyes and noses on 3d models basically. Why do people care if its AI if it looks like artgerm or other digital rendered copycats?
>>7142540Hiramoto is considered by many to be an amazing artist with the hottest women. He's similar to Oh Great!, another digital tracer, that people claim are top tier artist that shit all over comics, etc. Just look at how autistic weebs have been over even showing how that shit "art" is made in this thread with no real commentary on how bad it is. Just the mere questioning of grorious nippon jeans sugoi art oniichan has made them sperg out multiple times. They honestly think manga is drawn when 99% is traced 3d models and clip paint assets.
>>7138790at least he fucking draws
>>7142540Huh? A lot of people. I among them. The art is great, 3D or not. The compositions are exceptional, the storytelling is exactly what it needs to be, the designs are clever, appealing and distinct and the line & tone work is excellent. It's not lazy 3D, it's 3D used to leverage an already good artist's skill to greater heights. It can be used as a crutch, or as a pole vault.

Is there any use in even TRYING to pursue an art career considering how unlikely it is?Even trying while maintaining a day job still feels pointless. I already work full time so what's the use in chasing some impossible dream?
>>7142641Sincerely I'd like to keep going on the conversation since it's become kind of uncommon even on 4shin and specially on this sad carcass of a board to meet people with a brain and a point like you and (I hope) other guys in this thread, but this is getting too fucking depressing. I'm already trying to cope with the fact I have to withdraw from professionalism because it's literally a household suicide despite having spent the vast majority of my life preparing for it, so these exchanges of hard facts, ring surrounded by retards and sacks of shit turned nihilistic out of boredom and immaturity feels like lemon juice in my dickhole
>>7142155TrueArt is unironically worthlessProomptfags won
>>7142641Back in the day I argued that putting all of humanity in one collective place and forcing them to interact across all age groups would ultimately rob everyone of their mental health. The child would be robbed of a healthy upbringing among peers their own age, and see shit they shouldn't see from random adults and strangers who shouldn't be interacting with the kids of others at all. The adult would reduce themselves to fit in, dismissing their own individuality and uniqueness and sanding down all of their edges to latch onto trends perpetuated by children, thus becoming infantile. The old person would become a victim of endless fear and scams and become highly reactive. Every age group suffers, and the collective platform of "knowledge" that is the internet just becomes more and more of a wasteland that devours the spirit of mankind and shits sterility.Like you said, it only gets worse over time. The young people who grow up in this environment just end up psychopathic. They then inherit control of the system and further pollute it. Then the effects spill over into the real world and ruin entire fucking governments and cultures.But yeah no, every parent was just like "but the internet is fun and exciting, Ima buy my kid a phone and give them 24/7 unsupervised access."
>>7142874>>7142641>>7142740massive rambling here, but hard agree. I remember the times where places like Youtube didn't cater to kids and try to censor all its creator filled spaces for swearing and being "not family friendly" because it was a space previously only aimed at teens/young adults. Though it's deterrences were always pretty shit to keep kids out, it was a clearly defined social thing at the time that was meant to tell kids to fuck off and go to their own spaces as it wasn't meant originally for them. The whole Youtube kids thing and COPPA legality hits on it just ended up obfuscating the spaces more and more to the point it just feels normalized to have kids on spaces like it when they really shouldn't have been on in the first place.fuck I remember when kids actually had their own spaces as well with stuff like club penguin, toontown, wizard 101, animal jam, etc. And yeah of course there'd be freaky as hell adults on those sites too, but at least kids weren't as frequently on Xitter or any other social media platform not meant for their undeveloped minds to be on. It was THEIR spaces, and now stuff like that no longer exists, so where else do they go except for sites like that?
>>7143921(cont) It feels like the educational parts of that type of content that kids consumed too has been completely evaporated and mushed into just pure entertainment for the sake of entertainment. I remember when a lot of kids content was a mix of both entertainment and learning but now I really don't see many things trying to get kids to think or learn more about their world now. Obviously it's not all slop, but thinking mainly to Youtube stuff, it just feels like noise and colors seeing a lot of content being produced now to get the most kids clicking on it for that sweet sweet ad revenue. Fuck I just remembered them having such a high emphasis in the past as well on teaching cybersecurity to kids as well too and how it also strengthened the age division stuff, I don't think they even teach much cybersecurity nowadays with everyone always online and therefore assumed to already know it since they grew up with it. I'm just sounding like an old man bitter at the changing world here, but honestly it just feels sad to look at all these divisions start to congregate into one. It really feels like things have massively devolved with the unification of age groups.
is it actually better?
>>7143204The middle just looks more consistent anon. It gives her more character
>>7143204now THIS is an actual regression
>>7143204I like the first one the best, aside from the shitty lines. It's the most fluid, the silhouette is easy to read, and the face stands out properly whereas the other two have so many distracting details scattered around that there's no real focus.
>>7143204Actually depressing.You can literally see the social media brainrot creeping in and replacing all sense of originality and individuality. Who knows what they might have cultivated had the digital mass of slop not crept in and annihilated their sense of style.You are what you eat. Consume wisely.

Why does this board hate Western art so much?I always thought cowboys were really cool.
>>7138041The smart ones don't "hate white American culture", some of the dipshits do, nuances tend not to stick with the masses.They perceived """white""" culture as oppressive, which it was in many ways. Unfortunately it no longer is but as I said normies don't really get nuance, they just go along with a super badic idea of whatever they think is "right" or "normal" that week
>>7141733Yep, horrendous but doable, lol. I think that's a key topic in this board. You get better by doing, if you have to wait till you "get gud" you won't ever do anything.But animation is different, you need the design to look just "good enough" to work. You can't avoid cutting corners. You can not "polish" an animated batch of assets. If the design, or the rendering, the amount of colors, or whatever, are too complex, it will fuck up the whole animation.It's like designing a toy with moveable limbs, it will look horrible at the limbs, but you can't avoid compromising key details to get to a doable final result.Btw, another preview at picrel, the project seems to be going good. I think I will make it work as I want to. Not counting my chocobos yet, though... If flash crashes, maybe I'll have to split it in two different animations. We will see.
>>7138011Western styles are nice, I'm partial to Bruce Timm, Shane Glines, Gennedy Tartakovsky, Diana Marmol, (assuming she counts as western as I'm not sure where she's from but the shapes and colors are gorgeous) and a few others

Is using references ( real life photos not drawings) as a beginner gay? There is so much difference between my drawings using a reference vs the ones made from imagination, should I focus more on studying references or get more experience in imagination drawings?
You do both, not exclusively one or the other.

>>7142469What sites do you guys use to get references?I've only recently started using references as a /beg/ and to me it's another skill you have to develop to use them effectively.

I fight so world accept beautiful appearance of darkness. When near monster, do not allow it to be a monster, but not hurt it more than needed, and then love it. For it is not a monster but the source of true love...
To withstand such a level of fear inside of me, to live in hell, for hell inside of me, and NOT hurt... I need a body of a monster.Pic made by me. Thank you.

Looks kinda gay.Maybe the darkness inside you is the gay man you've repressed all of these years.You're clearly fascinated by male nipples.
