Can someone actually explain why the light in the lightest sphere stays mostly light and only starts getting dark nearing the shadow but the dark spheres goes from light to shadow a lot more linearly
>>7858986Like in this too
>>7858990They're lit differenttly.In both your example the spheres that have a sharper change in light, are lit directly.The more matte looking spheres are being lit by the environment, also called ambient lighting, in addition to bounce lighting, with the main light source barely reaching them for the highlight.I'll see if I can hop on my PC and show with arrows how the light rays are working.
Drawing is not hard if you got discipline
>>7859004Is this piece supposed to be good?
There's a reason so many fatasses were fat until they created ozempic. People are lazy, they lack discipline, they lack the willpower to fave discomfort, and they lack the ability to find joy in the process of refinement.
There is nothing more lucrative than scamming begs. Look how many grifters there are on social media peddling their drawing methods or promising life changing art advice-- locked behind a paywall. Or join my online course. Or buy my book. And don't forget to donate to my patreon! Never mind the fact that these grifters will never show their skill openly-- or their lack thereof. They know that a fool doesn't require evidence, only affirmations. And beginners will eat it up and ask for more, while never improving their skill by any meaningful level. They'll even justify to themselves that their tiny incremental gains over the course of years are enough, and what really mattered was having fun! Because it was so much fun to draw 250 boxes, followed by 250 cylinders, of course. I doubt even these begs believe such poor copes. But it won't dissuade them enough to cancel their subscriptions, and their weak dreams will still compel them to buy the next beg trap. Easy marks for the next charlatan who sells them another panacea to propel them into becoming the rich, famous, and amazing artist of their dreams. This is the age of the grifter, why aren't you doing it?
>>7856974Can't be bothered to deal with people by teaching them for hours, and I'd feel like a scumbag cause I know it's bullshit
>>7856974Because I'm not poor
>>7856974>find the source>the guy hasn't even finished the roadmap>he's barely starting it himself>doesn't know if it'll even workking of grifters, barely did jack shit
>>7858538>>7857123So by that logic would it be so bad if someone cannibalized, brutalized and raped you also? Do what thou wilt right? You abrahamist hylics are all the same, so simple
The set up for a grift is a ton of work, it's basically only worth it if you already have a big social media presence to milk or you have third world level expenses.
Is anyone here making any money from this?It doesn't need to be much, it would just help me to get me motivated.
Yeah here and there. A commission, a print, stuff like that. Working on a book too so that should def make some money if thingd go well
>>7856820the only time i made cash4art was some fiverr-esque services IRL, made like 3-4 logos. about 140+ bucks. but that was in 5 years ago. it's fun, but my real goal is to make money from MY artwork. i want to make money for what i like to draw.
>>7856820i just coom to my own shit. thats worth more than money. first time i uploaded my sfw stuff i instantly got a bunch of subs (non paying), enough to get me on the most popular this week thingy, dont even understand how people found my shit so fast
>>7856820Yeah, a bit
No, learn STEM. AI already taking our job.
Who here started drawing this year?
>>7857276a month from now or towards the end of this year
I did, on Jan2. Been trying to draw all day every day but have started procrastinating because my mood is down the shitter.
>>7857283It would be great if I had enough time by the end of next month to start drawing.
>>7857378just be happy :)
>>7857378nobody cares stop being a little bitch who wants the world to revolve around them.
What is the point of doing such detailed art as pixel art. Might as well just do normal art
Very nice bro, love how the condensation almosts swifts along the page.
>>7857832Because it looks cool?Also, pixel art is easier than regular art, which is why so many indie games use it, so the artist may not be skilled at rendering in a method that isn't pixel art.
>>7857832pixel is pointilism with squares instead of circles. It is just another style/shading technique.
>>7857832>What is the point of doing such detailed art as pixel art.it is easier to do and some people like the aesthetic
>>7857832autism gives you super powers. if you had them then you would know
How do you work with acrylics, by the time I want to blend the edges the paint is already glue like in viscosity
>>7858670>I want to blend the edgesIf you want blending, use oils, thats it.Acrylic is a graphic medium, if you want hard edges, flat colors and so on use it, otherwise you are wasting your time.
I use golden open acrylics, they are like a perfect hybrid between oil and acrylic. Have all the benefits of both really, still enough time to work in and take your time but don’t take 2 weeks to dry on the canvas
>>7858670Use a lot of paintKeep it wetUse retarder
How do I actually learn to draw as an absolute beginner? What books, resources to read? I checked the /beg/ stickies, but they don't seem to tell you what specific books in what specific order to read.
Learn how to learn before you start asking how to learn how to draw
>>7858753Okay well perspective made easy by ernest norling is a great place to start, alongside drawing from buildings from life. He covers drawing people in perspective too. The perspective drawing handbook by Joseph d’Amelio is good too, but it’s more advanced and a bit confusing
>>7858737Start with drawabox. Nodraws here will tell you its shit, but Lesson 1 helps you give a feeling of 3D space, which is fundamental for anything you want to draw. After Lesson 1, drawabox isn't as helpful, but drawabox is good place to help visualize your canvas.
>>7858737I recommend watching Bob Ross videos on repeat.
Does a baby look at the world around it and ask "How do I walk?". Nay. It simply does as all the giants that walk around it have done since the dawn of time. It just does.
Why the value of where the top arrow points looks darker than the lower arrow but the stripe is the same value?
>>7857942colors are relative
Anon begins to discover value contrast. You take it one step further towards color contrast, and now you're thinking in color theory. You learn how the surrounding color affects neutral tones and you can make your midtones feel very alive with subtle hue changes. Your greys begin to glow, they appear to be a color they aren't, all because you're learning how to trick the brain into seeing colors that aren't there.
>make a tutorialgrift channel>how to do anatomy>literally just traceDo tutorial grifters really have no shame anymore?
the point here is almost certainly to simplify the hand to a set of forms and give them extremely readable shapesbut op wants drawing to be a way of escaping reality
>>7858556I assume that's them just breaking down the hands into simple shapes, and showing the consistency of those shapes, and they would then go to show how to draw hands from imagination using those shapes.I have to assume, because once again, we have another no brain zero IQ OP who seems to think we have all seen every video they've seen. If the video was so interesting to you OP, you could have provided a link.Someone should start a thread like this:>Make a thread on 4chans>Talk about a specific video/person/website>Provide no link, name, or means of knowing what the fuck the OP is on aboutDo OP's have no shame anymore?... Trick question, because they never had any shame. Fuck you.
>>7858570I like it. Better than Pikats.
>>7858556>doesn't understand breaking down the forms>thinks tracing in an attempt to learn is a bad thing>makes another retarded thread over a literal fucking who
the funny thing even with this bare minimum of a study, it's still more than OP drew today gegege
Let's start the new year by rewatching this timeless classichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLqWX7onVmU

>by japanese artists>anime head turnarounds>production sketches / settei / genga>sketchy/construction lines a plusBasically I'm trying to see how professional japanese animators/mangaka actually draw the "anime head"
>>7851500The Asian jealously from Israel trained pups is always hilarious.
>>7851637>assuming i ever had to work a joblol
>>7846925These are bad.
bump
>>7845366keep in mind different artists may use different techniques. I was watching a video of Akira Toriyama drawing and he freestyled a goku colored ink drawing. there was no construction or anything like that.

>>7859331What are you talking about, the spine is flexed laterally in his drawing??
>>7860717>the spine is flexed laterallyI tried the pose myself before I started. I wasn't able to bend much laterally, and trying to do so was not a comfortable resting position.Assuming she's flexible enough to bend to a significant degree, I guess the frames I made would be wrong. But if only a little bit of bending is possible, one box is still enough to capture it and either the legs are too far to the side or the front plane needs to be redrawn in 2 point perspective.If you think I'm way off track, I'd love to know about it in detail.
>>7859012Krenz Day10 (The end of Week1)A lot of small details, subtle curves and pixel hunting - very exhausting
doing those 2 minutes studies recently. I think this is decent way to improve fast but i might be wrong.
how do i paint tasty sweet caramel
>>7857133bump
Show your reference
>>7857133I've not drawn it but I would suggest if you want to try then learn where the light is converging and try to follow that on the shape. Which is to say, if you look at still lifes of fruit, look at, say a grape, you see there is light point. You have to understand why that point is there and from where it's coming from. Caramel is going to be a much more complicated shape with tons of light reflections. Good luck.
Can I learn how to draw from tracing art?
>>7856546tracing is a different skill than drawing from imagination and both are in turn different from drawing from reference. I think you should do all three in succession to improve. I feel I improved a decent bit with relatively minimal practice that follows the idea of doing all three
>>7856546yes>>7856693retard
>>7856576>When you learn to write, did they tell you to use a thin paper and lightbox? Of course not.
>>7856546no. in order to learn "how to draw" you are teaching your brain how to see and to interpret what you see with your hands. tracing is tracing. you are training your brain to follow lines. that is not drawing.
no
