>>3068738One Artist I forgot to show in this image is Peter Doig. Sometimes but very rarely there's an artist like him, who although not classically trained, can create something unconventional but appealing, exciting and mesmerizing.

Any good exercises on how to draw cloth and clothes?
>>3068726thank you, unusually helpful anon
Although I'm not exactly new to drawing, I wanted you give the Igor Stravinsky exercise a try.What can I take from this? What should I work on more?
>>3068733your lines suck and aren't very confidentThe exercise doesn't really tell you much about your work its more of a "oh so this is drawing what you see" kind of thing to stop symbol drawing.
>>3068743Well it's less of "stop symbol drawing" and more of "this is what it feels like to not symbol draw and actually take your time to measure." Be careful what you say around these /beg/gars.
I really like the appeal of the 'tumblr style' of expressions. I personally have trouble making expressions and I guess I have a strange fear of deforming the face form the basic 'dead look' of proportions laid out across teh face. How do you guys just throw caution in the wind and crank out 'good expressions?'What /makes/ a 'good expression' ?When working on faces should Posture and body language come first or second to the facial expressiveness?Discuss
>>3067914You got the blank template for that chart anon?
>>3067926Right here: Can we get some expression charts going in this thread for refs examples and practice /IC? let's see your style/
>>3067668Don't do that expression sheet bullshit. All emotions need a certain context (something the character is reacting to) otherwise you get vapid stock expressions.Every single part of the face and body should have a reaction too, it's not just a fucking facial expression you should do.

Is learning how to draw hindering me from drawing?
>>3064029quote isn't right, quote isn't wrong. Live your life as an artist how you choose.Wanna have fun and make whimsical childlike drawings that lack fundamental complexity? go for it. Want to make masterpieces and become a god of fundamentals? go for it.It's YOUR art, anon.
>all this nonsense about talentAre you guys retarded? Just fucking google and read some books, you niggers, everyone knows talent is either bullshit or just heavy interest in the subject, depending on what you consider "talent". What is talent for basketball? Being fucking tall and black, the rest you practice. What is talent for running? Being African, the rest you run. What is talent for drawing? Having a hand and not being a retard, the rest you study and practice.>b-b-buh muh criativity!Stop being a faggot, even that is learned.
>>3068732/thread
>>3068732but anon, I'm kind of a retard.
>>3068371This. I balance things out with strict timed practice and then sketching. Right now I'm going through How to Draw by Scott Robertson for the strict stuff. Then on the side I learn to sketch with different ink tools while following Pen and Ink Drawing: a simple guide.Hopefully it all comes together sooner than later.
>want to be an artist (illustrator) my whole life>learn that you have to be dedicated as much as a surgeon but at the same time earn less than 20k a year per averageP-passion will fill my stomach, am I right my fellow artists?
>>3063848I dont think there is a single person alive today making a living solely from poetry
>>3066809Maya AngelouLyricists are essentially poets, who set their poems to music. There are thousands of poets who make a living selling books of poetry.
>>3066355Not the movie industry, no. I've worked freelance for years in the music industry and book industry, and a lot of the people I know and work with have social overlap with the movie industry. It's easy to have that happen, in entertainment.
>>3061329You can get a low paid job doing shift work, early mornings or late evenings. That gives you a significant part of the day still to do art.
>>3061439thaaank you
Anyone wanna do a Ruan Jia master study thread? I'm going to try this one
>>3064764Hey dude can you please post your blog?
>>3065807chinese here, its just ruan jia
>>3066694I personally know an artist that did so, dimwit. >not to mention chores and working a job to pay for life expensesthis wasn't applicable.
>>3068300miss some points of saturation on the nose, and the face its not rotate enough
>>3068326How did he do that? What about food, sleep and other human needs?
Paint your own LennyThis was a lot of fun last time and there were some good ones so let's go again.
>>3043540>>3044244>>3044422>>3048259>>3050359>>3068541all of these have the same lighting angle
>>3063931lmao this one made me laugh
>>3068705>red eyesToo many shrooms?
>>3068541In all serious this is pretty good. He looks like a shiny collectable Lenny action figure with kung-fu hands-in-pockets action
what are /ic/'s opinions on C.H Greenblatt's style?
>>3065920Okay, but what does cooking have to do with his drawing style?
>>3068376Totally agreed. Frustrated at how shit western animation looks. I'm not really a gookfan either, I don't partake, but why would anyone like OP's pic? Just me
>>3068432I find it charming
>>3068385zing!
>>3065901his sense of humour is really speciic and hits all the right buttons imo
Make this interesting. You can only reply to others by posting another piece of your own artwork. Sketches, studies, full pieces, doesn't matter, but it needs to be yours
>>3068303No it shouldn't.If you cant take any critique without being self defensive and end up asking everyone to show their work you're basically retarded
Don't know what to draw.
>>3068654That looks nice
>>3068657Nice bootay
>>3068657Proportions are off but damn, bootay
What the title says, dudes.>by the way...To learn anatomy, I used Hogarth

>>3065759what brush?
>>3063366>draw more real peopleShould I use photographs or ask anyone to stay still during forty mins?
>>3063352Porn, it's called porn.

>>3066197I really enjoy the way that you appply paint in lines. It's unique and adds a lot to the painting. However, the subject of the painting is too goofy for y tastes. And the composition feels a little too claustrophobic
>>3068494yeah i need to do preparatory sketches and drawings for paintings like this so I don't end up with a cramped composition. I kinda can't do anything about the goofiness, I'm just really goofy. I masturbate like 5 times a year because it makes me tired and could care less about sex. There's just not much in the way of sexual coolness or slick presentation in any part of me. I'm just kind of a goofball. My go to character design is "45 year old guy with dumb face". So not much I can do about that part of your critique.
>>3068403This is nice, good expression.>>3068380>>3067538Colors are nice, I think composition-ally its bad form to put the subject dead center in the frame. Pixel version is very nice.>>3067868Nice for a shirt/coffee mug>>3066917Great>>3066472Good colors so far. Needs more rendering/to be cleaner I think>>3065526Underrated. Very nice

Why aren't you learning how to make tattoos, Anon?Basic kit costs like 35$, pic related. And you don't even have to know how to draw to get a job - you don't need Loomis to copy photos.Making tattoos is a perfect way to grind your fundies and earn money at the same time, prove me wrong.
>>3068684>>3068689Still better than flipping burgers or drawing furry porn commissions.
I dont like drawing on people who dont bathe
Richfag who almost never comes to this board here. If you artists are worried about money start trading crypto and getting >>>/biz/ smart
>>3068710i like furry porn commissions more to be honest family
>>3068710What? Furries are so fucking nice. They tip, they appreciate good art, and they're not afraid to spend a lot. Do you know what kinds of degenerates you're going to have to hang around as a tattoo artist? Those luxury tattoo parlors are few and far in between. You're going to end up having to deal with fat bitches who think they get a free tattoo because they're girls, druggies spending more money than they have trying to cover up every blank space on their body, and people who don't understand that $80 will not get you a full back tattoo.I fell for this tattoo artist bullshit. Don't let it happen to you. Unless you really want to be a tattoo artist. Follow your dreams if that's the case.

Again, does anyone want to trade art? I'm willing to trade gifs for single pictures.
