In your opinion, who would be the best to actually learn to draw from imagination?

My problem is that after I see how to do some figure drawing, whenever I try without reference it all falls apart.

if the shekel per goyim index is too low you produce lower quality work. Time is a function of days not hours for humans and if you want somthing that looks raelly nice the person making it has to get lots of regular sleep and other normal nigga things or their work will suffer.

There's a reason china cannot produce swiss quality watches. Happy Humans work much better, but much slower as a result. and third worlders are not happy.

the days thing is so true. i can draw for 5 hours and get a lot done, or I can draw for one hour, I'm still tired the same amount at the end of the day.

>>8051448
Like the OP image you start with a box. View the head as a box and not just a sphere and draw it from various angles, getting the perspective right. As a beginner you are not going to be able to tell whether the boxes are perfect or not, so also copy photos or even anime heads, but instead of just copying the 2d shapes try to draw a box around them and work out how the box perspective interacts with facial features.
Once you see improvement increase the complexity of the box. Add brows, cheeks, and jaws. Increase the complexity until you get the Asaro head. The asaro head will be your new best friend. Draw it from every angle. Draw it from memory. Compare it to photos and even anime heads and see how the planes fall into place.
Marco Bucci has a decent head drawing course on how the various features interact and are arranged into a cohesive 3d shape, but it's paid.

It will get easier to delve into composition if you're working with manga-style elements and 135kg kent paper instead of bristol. Your work will also read faster if you adopt manga technique of panelling.

Anyone else see AI stuff flooding art marketplaces? Touristy places like this are now filled with AI art for sale, probably because they get to keep 100% of the profits. They also don't disclose it's AI, is this reportable somehow?

For all the talk about solidarity with artists, there doesn't seem to be any in real life.

>problem is that you're not legally obligated to label something as slop
I'm surprised there isn't a effort from the conservative side of politics to ban AI in the arts outright.
If one of the core arguments against immigration is that it's damaging to the culture of the country, then so too should they be concerned about the damage that AI will cause.
>>
>>8052814
Because the people up top never gave a fuck about any of that, it was always about enriching themselves. The people down below who do care about immigration aren't smart enough to think about these things and haven't been given the marching orders from Fox News or Joe Rogan.

Saw it on a chinese restaurant, just the most obviously AI cute chinese girls framed on the wall outside. Tackier than wallpaper. Imagine seeing a displate metal poster in a museum, thats the feeling it gives.

i hate this shit. Idk about the rest of the internet retards but i remember when the aibros were being faggots and saying "break the pencil" and "ai art is superior, it does things better and faster" with cunts 'improving' artists art without permission

and now because of the backlash that they themselves generated (lol), they try to hide their ai slop as real.

they're the bootleg dvd sellers of the modern age but they think their bootlegs should be worth as much as a retail copy of the movie.

for obligatory food analogy, if McDonalds wanted $30 for 2 buns and a paper thin patty like they're some 5 star dining experience
need a metronome meme for aibros
>delusional gloating

>>8052814
i figured that AI slop would become the corn syrup or seed oils of the entertainment industry: it's everywhere because it's cheap, and the average person will consume it, but its mere inclusion is results in negative opinions from consumers and at least some people will go out of their way to avoid it. thus, brands will try their hardest to minimize visibility of slop usage

So like a few months ago.

I made a thread where I asked if I can get a higher quality version of the newest bridgman complete guide to drawing from life. Because the other more popular newer one sucked ass compared to the older bridgman books.

Then some kind anon offered me it but only if I post my work on bridgman. So, I did.

https://warosu.org/ic/thread/7985647

Then after getting my hands on it. I did some research, which I discovered that this particular version doesn't exist on all book piracy sites. Which means that anon and I have been holding what is essentially "lost media".
At first I was excited, but that means If I deleted this file then that it would be lost forever. So, I uploaded it online as of right now.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/q30jzfp6bnzbbnq/George+Bridgman+-+Bridgman's+Complete+Guide+to+Drawing+From+Life+(5th+Edition).pdf/file

However, it isn't enough. I wanted this to be first spread around to /ic/ then onto most popular book piracy sites.

complete guide isn't that great because it attempts to be a one-stop shop for everything but falls short because it can't fit everything in, go with the individual books and maybe have complete guide on the side as a reference book

I mean it was indeed but it became mostly "big" in early 2010s, like your "feels" more 2010s (at the least 2008-9) rather than early - mid 2000s, but you got saturation part right because much of 2000s I've seen is less saturated
