>>7776162if you have the right USB-C cable and USB-C port, some modern ones can power and display the screen at full brightness with one cable. some need 2 cables, 1 for data and an extra USB for full power & brightness, but no wall outlet.https://docs.thesevenpens.com/drawtab/guides/connections-and-cabling/connecting-a-pen-display-with-one-usb-c-cable
Can confirm that the Dell Canvas operates without issue on WIndows 11. For those who want a cheaper Wacom 27" you can get one used for very cheap since they don't make them anymore. It uses older Wacom tech, so universal Wacom pens will work with it no problem. Pair that with the Canvas' adjustable stand, external monitors, and a shortcut key remote, and you got an endgame setup.
thank you shillbot
Any thoughts on this for a first tablet? Anything I should be getting with a portable tablet besides a case for obvious reasons?https://estore.wacom.com/en-us/wacom-movinkpad-11-dtha116cl0z.html

>>7778371i also forgot to add but Sinix on youtube has a nice tutorial about shading. i like his emphasis on shape design
>>7778307Thanks! I need to work on improving my anatomy and perspective.
i need a structured way to draw the head, I see my mistakes yet im unable to fix them, i'll be permabeg for life
>>7778395SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Do you think the reason no one is making great paintings like this anymore is because it takes too long to make or because they don't have the talent/skills ?
>>7777992Boy o boy are those bad.
You need people to work together today in order to overcome the time it takesThis was also done before with members of the studio doing certain portions, or say one artist does the backgrounds the other the people Now if you got 10 people together you could easily make many but selling them is another thing still and now you have to split the cash so volume would have to happen You forget too that some of these artists weren’t paid a ton for them compared to what they sell for because they’re famous Oh lol and good luck getting that many artists to work together You have to curate a group like a band of musicians
>>7775440That hyperrealistic rendering is groteque and uncomfortable to look at.>>7775444 Nothing in digital art transfers over to classical painting. Those japanese artists are failing because they dont have the genetics of southern european artists nor the correct technical training.>>7775755No one alive is at the level of mastery for classical painting. Its not just the time it takes.>>7776675 Yes, the rich have lost their aesthetic sense, but there is an objective beauty to classical art that trancends our dead art zeitgeist. The rich can promote ugly things as they do today, but that doesnt negate this objective reality.>>7778024>There are hundreds of people making technically and aesthetically magnificent traditional workComment too long.

>>7777992where did you look up these paintings?
>>7776675It was once art became a commodity affordable to the masses. Not because the plebs have any actual control over art, but because the rich can make a lot of money appealing to their tastes. Selling a $1 painting to a billion people is a lot easier and makes a lot more money than selling a million dollar painting to one person.
DON'T DRAW EVERY DAY, GOY.MAKE SURE YOU PACE YOURSELF, GOY.
>>7777237I'd say it depends on the person and how they learn ultimately it depends precisely on the definition of drawing everyday one subscribes too. If you mean draw one complete image everyday regardless of how shit it is yeah that could work for someone, other people might get more caught up on what exactly to draw and it might turn them off because of lack of ideas. some people benefit from doing draw a box type shit or drawing 40,000 circles a year. some people are hopeless and give up before even trying because they aren't perfect draw gods instantly.>>7777423>>"if you are bad at drawing something, you can just not draw it" if that's true then yeah that's fucking shit advice. the things one is weak at are the things you gotta do the most despite it not being pleasant or easy. It's like telling an aspiring bodybuilder to not worry about striving towards good body symmetry.
>>7777238>>7777593you're both faggots
>>7778258what's the issue
>>7778325nta, but I've heard many times that you should draw zoomed out to 100%, or less, so that you don't get bogged down focusing on each individual line.And assuming that, by feathering, that anon means that each line tapers out, she really is doing exactly that and drawing in a really inefficient and slow way.Though, if that's how she prefers to draw, power to her - it's not how I'd advise someone to draw though.

Attempting to study trad painters. It's difficult, but it's an interesting deviation from my usual style...

I originally made this character for my design class and had to change a few things about his design during critique, but he's still mostly the same and I'm really happy with how he turned out. I wish I had more free time to draw more big men, especially big clown men
>>7774131Kino design, I love seeing your clown characters!
Another doodle>>7774131Ray Lunar looks super groovy!!! Hope to see more of him!!!>>7773941Thanks!!! I am having a lot of fun experimenting with this style, so I tried again... I tried doing it without ref, and I think there's something I like about the first one better.Also movie-poster tier stuff you got there!!!
Still experimenting... big shame all of my favorite pre-Raphaelite artists didn't draw a lot of men for me to study ;-;
>>7771496You have lolcow, why post on here?
For stupid questions and questions that don't deserve their own thread.Post here if you don't expect your thread to reach 100+ replies.
is it ok to completely ignore pen pressure, i don't like drawing with it on whether it's for size or opacity, i kinda like flow though sometimes
How to come up with interesting poses? I wanna draw original stuff but I can't think of interesting poses to draw. Are there any resources that teaches how to create/design appealing poses?
Absolute beginner at drawing i don't know if i should start with drawing basic shapes, landscapes, etc. first or just do the sticky. If it's the former, anyone have good book/resource recommendation?
>>7777549look at fashion magazines, instagram, pinterest, real lifeuse your own body, make the pose, check how it feels, take photosexaggerate what you see
>>7777549Draw scenes, not characters. Even if you only draw the character.It's easier to create a pose if you have an action to go along with it.
Nude inspiration/discussion thread. Post paintings and drawings of naked people! Preferably academic nudes but any era will do.Bonus points for female nudes and lesser-known artists.No porn please.I want inspiration for my figure drawing sessions.
How good/famous of an artist do I have to be to get bitches to pose for me like this? I'm too aneurotypical/not chad enough for normie relationship purposesIf I reached sufficient levels of fame, I'd blow the money on hookers and drugs
>>7778319>How good/famous of an artist do I have to be to get bitches to pose for me like this?how do you think these artists got them to pose?
>>7778321Money or clout? I am still extremely shitty, but I have nothing else in my life besides art so I will pursue it as far as I can. I saw the documentary on Crumb and him getting stepped on by models and I want that. I want to be recognized for my work so I can get women to indulge my erotic depravity.That's nor to say I started drawing with getting strange in mind, but I realize for how bad I am, it's the thing I'm best at, so if I can acquire bitches as well as see my dreams realized then so much the better
>>7778319Robert Crumb had girls posing nude for him all the time and he was a stereotypical, pencil-necked geek of the 1950's and 60's variety straight out of a movie, almost no social skills at all. His wife Aline said her mother genuinely thought he was retarded when she first met him.

>>7778066Being able to create good looking art isn't walled off behind 10 years of learning. This is bad for a small number of people who have already invested the time, but better for everyone else.
>>7777403what?
How do you fuckers fall for every single bait thread
>>7778062Why do you AI sloppers always think there is some magical middleground the progress will halt at? The logical conclusion of AI is that everyone is plugged into their own algorithm of fully automatically generated content. There will be no creators wielding AI. Well, there can be just as there can be real artists still practising their craft but the masses will have moved on.

Is there anything similar to Sinix’s drybrush on Photoshop ? That thing allows you to make hard edges on one side and smooth out the other side
>>7778287NTA but because there isn't an endless paper alternative for android, I been using affinity designer on my desktop for trying infinite zoom art
>>7778272Thanks! But I actually found out it's just a really fat g-brush pen with these kind of settings. And yeah, getting the results I wanted with some personal adjustments.
ITT We post advice on making money off art.>If you're doing art as a hobby this is not a thread for (you)>If you talk about AI art you're going off-topic and should be reported for itLearning about art fundies is nice and all but that's covered in all sorts of tutorials, books, videos, etc. Making money off your art is something that even pros that went to art school struggle with so share advice on how to make it.>My advice is to create fanart to grow on social media then pivot into OC content that you own the IP to make money off merch, patreon, youtube, license to publishers, kickstarter, sell media adaptation rights and whatever else you can do with your IP.
>>7778240Nobody cares about original IP unless you're from Japan, S.Korea, China or a big youtube channel like Glitch and Viviziepop. All the new IPs outside of those cases are box office flops or barely sell issues. Only indie games are worth it.
Any good real life reference to design hot and cool black characters/ characters with dark skin tone? I'm having trouble finding pictures with varied hairstyles.
>>7773915If you are trying to stylize a black character, it is easy to make everything appealing. Just search for an image and try translating the stuff in your style, but the only thing is the fucking black nose, no matter how you represent it, it looks horrible and can ruin an entire face. Hope you luck anon
