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. Be smart, keep discussion 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.

I actually like Rubens fall of the damned a lot more as depiction of hell. Bosch is great for the strangeness and bizarre nature of his torture but there's something about the gravity and momentum of Rubens painting, and the swirling falling countless souls, that just feels more inescapable. The idea that hell is a pit that you can't climb out of, and you're just plummeting into fire and monsters and pain forever just really unnerves me.

wife and I made wreaths and decorated for Samhain Saturday night. I am not an art oriented person. This was my first attempt at crafting in many years. My wreath is top left, hers top right.

she invited our religious, protestant, white friends and a livestock hobby friend over for a seasonal celebration, food & fellowship on Oct 30th. Will serve single-bite-sized mutton pot pies, a charcuterie board of brie, ovine havarti, ovine cheddar, Bleu cheese, jalapeños, jam, brown mustard, sourdough, and 1 or 2 varieties of crackers. drinks will be wife ranging, as we make our own wine & have cellar full, brew our own beer & have mass market American Lager on hand, as well as a fully stocked liquor cabinet for classic cocktails (not sugar-laden "club drinks").

we will both dress in seasonal costumes for fun. she will be a Dryad & I will be a Druid.

wife is not a "witch" and we are not pagans or astrology kooks. just farmers celebrating the astronomical, solar, planting, breeding and harvest seasonal calendar. sharing our harvest, goodwill, thanks, blessings and the hope for a healthy and productive next year.

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days

Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Where's my invitation? Did the Post lose it?

There is certainly a ritual connotation to your event because you created an altar (even if consciously it's just art to you, spirits speak to the artistic unconscious and may speak through it) and are willfully celebrating a holiday that is intended as a day of worship for beings of lower intent. (Sacrifice and I will help you vs I will sacrifice and help you)

Your Christian friends would be right to politely decline if they knew the connotations of your event. Yet they probably celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 with a Christmas tree and are likely luciferians themselves so...ya know.

our religious friend came by today. she asked my wife about the top left wreath that hangs above the doorway to/from our bedroom into the Great Room. she enthusiastically asked wife "did you make that?" to which wife responded "husband made it" religious friend then said "wow. thats really good crafting for a guy" to which my wife responded "its really good crafting for anyone." then white friend turned around and saw the second wreath hanging above the display on the Great Room wall and asked "did he make that one too?" wife told her that she made that one. white friend then responded "wow, those are really good! you could sell those!" she even offered to give wife some quartz (white friend is a rock collector). that said, wife already bought a decent bag of it for this specific project. what we actually need is black tourmaline, which white friemd balked at giving when asked due to "witchy connotations"

no catty remarks about our decorations. no comments about "paganism" or accusations of "witchcraft" which is actually surprising, since she often makes backhanded compliments or thinly veiled sarcastic slights about our entire lifestyle (solar, off-grid, frugal, debt free, independent, preparedness & general function over form.

I'll take the compliment.

it is confirmed, she and her husband will be attending our celebration. husbamd was raised Mennonite she was grab-bag protestant. now, they are Presbyterian. I am a former devout Catholic, wife is a jaded, former "non-denominational" christian who left all religion behind when she moved out on her own, 3 years before we met.

>>8065124
I found Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain completely pointless, and gained absolutely nothing from doing the exercises. Keys to Drawing was even worse because it gave me some crippling misconceptions about how to approach drawing, and I regard it as the single worst instructional resource on any topic I have ever encountered.

What I actually did find helpful were Mark Kistler's books, The Art and Science of Drawing by Brent Eviston, and Arthur Guptill's Sketching as a Hobby. I will note, though, that unfortunately what you find helpful is likely based heavily on your starting skill level, what you happen to find intuitive, and your existing preconceptions, so your experience won't necessarily mirror mine.

It can if you don't have the type of autism that naturally lends itself to learning abstract stuff. A lot of autists are trapped in perma-/beg/ hell because they take 'just draw' too literally (and develop poor habits) or fall for the constructive drawing trap (drawabox, brokendraw, Peter Han, etc).

Gesture, line quality, drawing your immediate surroundings, continuous line drawing, shape/line grinding as warmups, meaningful tracing (break down refs into shapes), and spending more time looking at your reference than your paper is all you need when starting out. If anyone tells you anything else, they're horribly misinformed.

The big problem with a lot of capeshit art styles these days is that artists in the industry aren't regularly studying cartoons...and they aren't regularly drawing from life (actual people and sculptures) either. The industry also pressures artists to fit the contemporary in-house style which is not only excessively detailed, but the colorists and inkers are also told to push for extra detail (which is bad because the inkers and colorists aren't as effectively trained as they should be, which results in shitty art).

Older artists would draw from life, photographs, and cartoons/comics. The style was simpler because of logistics and the acceptance that comics were for kids.

Am I wrong?
For both instructional books of decent quality, and ones that are hugely acclaimed like toshi's animator books, and even courses from famous artists, I feel like the text/spoken portion is very limited, and most of the gains you get are from drawing by reference anyway.
In that case, rather than autistically completing a full textbook or course, wouldn't it be better to compile a list of sakugabooru frames you like, or manga pages you like, or paintings, portraits, sculptures, whatever - to make "your own textbook" and study from there instead?

A simpler TL;DR question you could answer is: "Should I just not autistically waste time on 400 page textbooks like top left in picrel"

Teaching art is very hard so most of them suck ass. Most are lazy cash grabs to trick beginners that don't know any better. Only the great ones are worth copying completely. For the rest just pick and choose the parts that are good.
