>>7374519Fuck off with that, you're a homosexual
>>7374521>Baki's art is not gooddebatable, there's a lot more to art, specially in comics, than how anatomically accurate figures and perspective are and when it comes to gesture, panel flow, storyboarding and overall ability to present action in a way that feels impactful itagaki is unironically top tier

We concluded our 3rd Tournament!Once again, and for the last time under the role of GM, I wanted to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who participated and/or contributed to make this happen. I like to think, and I think most of you will agree, that this was the best version to date. With that said, I retire from the Gamemaster role, hang up my magic hat and wish the Council the best of luck from now on...because crabs, they never read...and they never end.This thread -the last one of /crab/3- is for celebrating, (shit)posting and talking about anything related to /crab/ and the future of /crab/. Open to everyone.Ask your questions and suggestions and they -might- be answered.Want to participate in the next stage?

just how does he do it?
>>7365877>complete, abject povertyYou didn't need to call me out like that
>>7374615Vincent Van Gogh was basically a derelict moocher living off the good graces of his successful brother and spent his life making chronically bad choices like trying to hawk his paintings to restaurants in exchange for a bottle of wine, and nobody took him seriously because they thought he was “cheating” by using new fangled technology, squeezable aluminum paint tubes, to compensate for his lack of fundamentals where any “legit” artist would be mixing his own paints and adhering to the traditions set by the old renaissance masters. He died in obscurity and bitter poverty and it was only later that people started to appreciate the sublime beauty and textured nuances of his paintings So cheer up. Poverty is no obstacle to making art especially if you learn how to be resourceful
>>7374615Nice, me too anon. Little bit of blogposting, but I'm gonna be homeless at the end of this month. I actually wonder how this will effect my abiltiy to practice. Biggest problem I currently foresee is paper because I run through a lot of sheets per day and I'm just gonna have a small bag on me, so no room/weight for some 500 sheets of paper. That and also places to draw, if I go to a cafe or something and bought a cup of coffee would they be fine if I sat there and drew for like 4 hours or would they kick me out?
>>7374687Assuming the cafe isn‘t super busy and/or tiny they won‘t usually mindUsing starbucks or what have you as an office is pretty common
>>7370624>browses 4chan>complains about lack of free timeAnd that's why nearly every single person on /ic/ is ngmi. You have time, you just don't want to use it for what you should be using it for. Drawing is something you MAKE time for, every second you can find, sacrificing sleep if necessary.

>>7374514The resizing happens just at the end. It's a pretty standard painting process, just not caring too much about details because it's going to get bitcrushed later anyway.PP stack looks something like:- Noise texture on overlay- Sharpen- Gradient map full of random colors- Blur color only- Save it as a shitty jpgResolution is reduced a lot for size, but this is about what it looks like pre-jpg
Updated an old design
>>7374653So the "pixels" weren't from an upscaled pixel art, these are just JPG algorithm blocks, I see. Same with the artifacts around the 1px black wires, just crunchy JPG.Thanks for sharing, anon.

Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such2.

old piece to bump the thread>>7356262>>7356408ty! >Bloggu? @slurponaut pretty much everywhere
Remember, doesn't matter the age. anyone can make it or be skilled at art, all you have to do is put in work.
>>7372490>give up all of your free timeYou mean pursue a hobby in your free time instead of doomscrolling twitter and shitposting on 4chan? If you view art as a chore that you're giving up your time for rather than wanting to spend that time on it then you shouldn't pursue it.
>>7374604Adults can be so inadvertently cruel to kids sometimes. I have a nephew who loves drawing and my sister tells him to quit since it's not his thing. I always make sure to tell him he's doing great and improving when I see him
>>7374075artwise? nothingI've been stuck in dead end jobs and periods of neetdom. time passes faster than you think. but now i want to take a stab at getting good enough to take art commissions
>>7372490Yes. If art is a chore that you have to force yourself to make time for, and not something you love doing so much that you will sacrifice sleep to do it, then you are ngmi
>>7373976>hard work and perseverance.And this is the biggest filter there is
do you guys think a >pay what you wantcommission cost model would work?
>>7374986>Yeah, look at this generous man helping out an upcoming artist with great potential.how is this any different from commissions an artist to draw something for them?
>>7374987Most (born) rich people have shitty ideasNothing is stopping you from charging 30k to begin with instead of working on shit for potentially nothingAssuming you do digital, most rich people are not interested in .jpgs. Most people paying for digital goods are millennials or younger, most likely a nerd with enough money, that's plenty of ifs in a sea of people wanting to pay at most $100 for digital art. Not to mention the economy being atrocious for the mid/high mid class, your (in your dream) would be 30k client.If your business model was successful someone would have done it before and plenty of copycats would appear to the point that it would be the normal thing to do with art, this never took off for a reason. But maybe you're the special star that will change the course of art from now on, anon.
>>7374999>this never took off for a reason.I've literally never seen anyone try it
>>7375004Then lurk more old DA
This is a terrible idea.Drom experience, doing art raffñes in twitter,only brought to my account cheap, broken people who wouldn't pay for art anyways.Also, the cheapest your commissions, the more problematic customers you'll get that expect to make a thousand changes and request as many tweaks they can get away with. Not worth it.

>>7373742Like the other poster said, the Krenz course is a good resource for helping understand box forms and how to overlap forms to give depth. Its a resource I go back to often since its quite handy. Try stacking boxes in 3 point perspective to get the knack for how these poses work, and of course, keep up with your anatomy studies.I don't want to dissuade you from drawing from imagination, because I feel like that is where the true joy of drawing comes from: creating something through your own interpretation of the world. Reference is just as it is though- Reference. Something that you can turn back to as a tool to check the accuracy of your forms. Just like with what I did, I didn't let the reference rule the image I was making, but used it to inform my decisions Keep going sempai. WAGMI
>>7373629can't remember one desu. Maybe Ahmed's meds map helped a little or Itten's book about color. But the most useful thing was searching other people's artwork that could give you an example, a hint of how to do something better than you do it by yourself and try not to only study, but to replicate some aspect of it up to the direction of the brushstrokes in your own pieces. Paintings of impressionists have a lot to offer for instance
>>7363712I drew the big booba
>>7365427>lol tiny balls
>>7369489Wait a few days for responseDamnit anon was a faggot after all, even after getting help
literally what is the point of learning to draw. it takes so much time and I'll probably never get good and even if I get good probably no one will want to look at my art
>>7371632I would also recommend trying different mediums. I'm a traditional artist that uses watercolor pencils. I found them to be viscerally satisfying to blend with and got me drawing more.
Even very crude drawings can be useful as storyboards for other Media. Setting up a scene,getting an interesting composition, where to tuck in word balloons if any,and the beginnings of dialog to congeal a narrative. Even Dilbert can be insightful and moving at turns.
>>7371637masterclass in ragebait or OP is retarded, call it
>>7371637One of the dumbest comments I read in a long time.
>>7371632Stop trying to get good and spend time with the people who love you. Then come back refreshed and draw something you want to draw. It will refresh your brain and make it easier to dig into whatever material you're studying.
Is this book any good? Or should I go with drawing on the right side of the brain?
>>7372293Hello everyone. I'm a beginner tourist from another board. For every person who recommends me a book there's two more who say it's shit. Is there a single book that can be commonly agreed upon? I was going to start reading Keys to Drawing, but people in this thread are saying its bad. I was thinking of doing The Natural Way to Draw instead.
>>7374361I tried half a dozen "this should be your first book", and keys was the only that made it click for me and properly taught me to just draw what I see, and properly measure things. I'd say the first half of the book is great, but once it gets into shading it gets pretty meh.At the end of the day, everyone's brains work different and everyone will have their own path to art, which is why 99% of courses suck, they won't fit (you) and your personal way of learning, so you gotta experiment and find what works.
It's okay, but it turns you into an asshole if you let it.
>>7374361I think keys to drawing is fine. Just try different books until you find one that clicks for you.For me, it was the eviston book on drawing, but some people dont vibe with it. It's personal preference.You can find many books for free so you can flip through them and check them out first. Or look at a library or book store.
>>7372278just do the workbook
