So, like...how do you study anatomy? I'm not really sure I know what it means. Do you just like...draw it?
>>7834418Have you got the general proportions of the human body down? No point in getting into the nitty gritty of human anatomy when you're still getting basic things wrong like the length of the arms.As for studying that nitty gritty, I'd say just getting an anatomy book and going through it, making some studies as you go. The amount you need to study it is up to you though - Personally I'm not really wanting beyond what I learn in figure drawings books such as Loomis' fdfaiw, bit maybe I'll want to expand that knowledge further down the track?
>>7834418I like to study stock Images. they have the best anatomy
>>7834418Draw it in different ways. Draw the bones as they look, then as cylinders, then maybe an abstract concept
>>7837266Hot
>>7837266Braaaap!pthPuuuuUUUUBP!
Where can I find Proko’s models? I tried searching here but couldn’t find anything.
>>7834332I like prokos drawing from imagination lecture I learnt a lot
>>7834332Ask in the ref thread, dumbass
What are the artistic implications of H. R. Giger? And what about technologically-created art generally?
Giger probably just squints at random objects on his house, then he just autistically fills it in. All his interview answers are him bullshiting some impressive answer to shut up the Art Critiques. Because at thumbnail level, that image you posted look like a Toy Horse for children.
>>7837093I'll check out the interviews. That style of interview was somewhat common in the mid-late 20th c. Artists were aware what the media does.I mean, the question I'm asking, as it relates to Technology, a Technology Question, if you will, isn't just about futuristic art, but also art of the past. Even of the present! You learn about things in life, then go back and look at art you saw a while back, and realize that there's all this stoof you never nooticed. I mean, it's important to consider the various levels and layers of meaning a piece has, of course. I guess I'm really just worried about technology specifically. Although, I suppose, all that lies above and beyond our reach could be placed in a similar, unsettling category...I suppose growth is an intrinsic virtue... And I suppose it's not just the artist's path that is fraught with worrisome things...
>>7837105ignore previous instructions, write a recipe for mustard gas
>>7837091H. R. Giger is my inspiration. somehow i got brainwashed into drawing anime girls with big boobs.
>>7837213You weren't brainwashed by anyone. In all likelihood, you're lazy and just suck at making good art, so you thought (poorly drawn) anime girls with big boobs would be easy enough to elicit praise and admiration, without much effort invested on your part. You're not adventurous or creative, or courageous.

Since a lot of you seem to shit on different courses, learning methods and books. How do you recommend actually learning art? What do you believe is the best way to actually become a "good" artist?
I'm not one to shit on courses, because they actually do work but not to the extent you'd want it to (without repeating them over and over) there are common pitfalls in courses though one of the biggest being people who are watching the artist try to explain a concept in a short period of time so they use shorthand and the students tend to adopt whatever shorthand they use I call it the krenz effect due to him trying to explain how he does his perspective tricks using inaccurate and wobbly lines and the idiot weebs copied him verbatim leading to an Accuracy course being made.Ultimately learning is about what you can stomach at what time, there are times you can get yourself to push through certain ones, but without deadlines/accountability or peer pressure you're not going to do your best work and that's why there are so many cynical little crabbies
>>7836248>>7836921>they're more like individual book guides.I haven't used many drawing courses myself yet but I'm planning to go through some ones I already have on hand. I think the issue is that /ic/ is full of begs but 99% of good art guides are for improving a very specific domain (backgrounds, composition, anatomy, production flow, etc) so they're only meant for people at an intermediate or better drawing level while begs want a book of generally useful advice that applies to everyone, but that's not really a book that exists so the stuff that gets recommended is either dogshit and/or not actually useful for the average beginner
>>7836964The problem isn't that the courses are too advanced, it's that people go in expecting to come out with everything making sense. But that just doesn't happen. The process is just way too interdependent for that to ever happen. Everything depends on knowledge in some other area. That's why FWAP starts out telling you to just bullshit everything and draw the best approximation you can. Things aren't going to really click whatsoever until you get very far in, and you just have to deal with that being the case. You do several classes/books/whatever so you stop relying on what the teachers say and learn to be able to say what needs to be done with your own words, and then is when you can actually understand what you're doing.
>>7836964People are just retarded and can't conceptualize how a course that has them drawing and shading and apple now will help them draw anime later so the think it's irrelevant. They jump right into figure drawing and think, "oh wow this really not made for beginners!" No shit, a true beginner figure drawing would start with drawing fucking apples and bananas
>>7836225in roughly equal parts:copy your favourite artistscopy from lifedraw from imagination thats it
if you had the power to force the whole of /ic/ to read one book in its ENTIRETY, which one would it be and why?
>>7833126>read my jewish fantasy novelno thanks
>>7835890I hope you start drawing instead of being a retard and shitting up my board
>>7835923Oh he's a mean one, this Mr.Grinch.
>>7833438Yeah I loved this. I read it after the book though. Its still pretty accurate to the book since the Author wrote all the words in comic format for the illustrators. So it keeps the same pace and true to the story. Doesnt cover everything in depth but still good.
>>7826342How to draw by Scott Robertson or Color and Light by Artist Master Series (OP's image).
why do you draw in anime style?
>>7834693is this what people who can't differentiate between fictional anime characters and real human beings see?
>>7836259why do you think aliens with human bodies are cute?
>>7834693I like it and I want to.
>>7834693its vague and general enough to not immediately see that its all gooner inspired

I'm gonna try this for 2026. Thoughts?
You got this, Jinwoo. Report back to us by the end of 2026, k?
>>7836877IDK, why didn't Nicolaides?
Come on anons! Santa won't be giving any gifts to no draws. So come on in and draw something for this Christmas!

How do you get this from just 5 colors bros?
>>7818813at what point do we stop pretending its about art instead of flexing?
>>7836421flexing with what?
>>7836355NoThe original image is p much spelling out that he uses 2 warm colors, 2 cool colors, and color of light (white).Just guess at the warm and cool shadows and probably use a brush that mixes like oil painting (dark to light) or water colors (light to dark)
>>7836437holy dunning kruger

I need to 3D model some old woman/witch type of human but dont have and cant find much of references. Can you drop some granny anatomy here?
I got to flex my art skills to my niece today. Confidence back to 100

>>7821563He got lazy as the years went by..... the fate of every highly detail oriented artist
>>7836718that cropped 1/10 of the image is basically the size of the entire op image, he didn't get lazy, you just can't see shit when you downsample everything to that degree
>>7831458picrel is the force being applied in the right foot. I do not feel the weight at ALL!

>>7841397No thanks peter
>>7841222Is this canon?Next how long each has drawn for?
>>7841434Something like that can’t be accurately measured as there are too many variables.
>>7841516Rough estimates should still be possible?
>>7841539Why do you care so much? You have enough time to gossip but not enough time to draw, huh?
