So, like...how do you study anatomy? I'm not really sure I know what it means. Do you just like...draw it?

Have 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?

Draw it in different ways. Draw the bones as they look, then as cylinders, then maybe an abstract concept

Ask 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.
>>
>>7837093
I'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...

H. R. Giger is my inspiration. somehow i got brainwashed into drawing anime girls with big boobs.
>>
>>7837213
You 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.

Vilppu, Huston, Hampton

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?
14 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
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

>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
>>
>>7836964
The 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.
>>
>>7836964
People 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
>>
>>7836225
in roughly equal parts:
copy your favourite artists
copy from life
draw 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?

Yeah 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.

flexing with what?
>>
>>7836355
No

The 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)

>You're new here, aren't you? Read the student handbook!

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.

2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.

3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 7 before starting a new one.
