>complaining that the armor looks like plastic
It does, it's not historical and it looks like cheap shit, what's the point of your complaining? You want to eat shit, without being confronting for eating shit. Is that your motivation?
It's an art board, obviously the main aspect of discussion is the design not history.
P.S. let's be honest, you are a retarded autist yourself, right?

all the picture on the right needs is a bit of wear and tear, some dirt
I would love to see a big epic movie taking itself serious and depicting people wearing period accurate (to the best of our current knowledge) clothing and armor and weapons
have them speak some reconstructed ancient greek and I and all the 12 people who will watch the whole 3 hour epic will love it
but that's not what nolan does. such a waste. oh well. I'm sure it will be entertaining

Wrist pain comes more if the grip is static rather than dynamic, if you move your fingers to draw then the grip doesn't matter. Quad is more restrictive in line flow however.

That's why I said "in this board" I know that plenty of western artists love his books a lot, specially in the comic and animation industries, plenty of superhero artists like Alex Ross idolize Loomis and Disney artists in the 90s had a monopoly of his books.

I'm still in a studyfag loop, getting filtered by value studies is still worth it though I get more tempted to care about shape design. I don't think I improved much because I keep clogging up my brain with random theory I don't have any use for yet, for example color temperature stuff.

Last color study thing I tried was inventing a different lighting scenario from an existing painting, original was a sunset lighting, I'm too much of pussy to try again, but it's pretty tempting to go for it, maybe need a subject matter that fuels my interest a bit.

If you are going to by a tablet meant to draw with a finger wouldn’t be more useful to buy a normal IPad with a stylus. Besides, finger and mouse drawing can accelerate tendinitis and Carpel Tunnel. It’s like paying extra not to draw at all
>>
This is literally how I've been drawing after getting back into art after covid. I haven't needed to use a pen or pencil for any of my high school or college classes, and when I do I start feeling pain in my wrist and hand after 30 minutes. I even bought a drawing tablet (for osu) and that fucks up my hand even more, none of the recommended grips work for me and now I play on mouse.

I want to draw with a pen like I used to when I was kid, how the fuck do you fix this?
