>>7886308Kind of brazen advertising
>>7907770it's kind of a based grift, not gonna liehe's been doing it for a VERY LONG TIME as well, I remember seeing him post in /lolg/ over at /vg/ for eons and apparently he still does it on /v/ as welli imagine this is what all schizophrenics ritual spammers would be like if they had actual hobbies, so for some reason I see it less maliciously
>>7902793>smoking weed while drawingdrinking is better and more high class
i always come back to this post to have a good hearty kek
>>7894640The people who know what skeletons look like are chiropractors and they're considered pseudoscienceSurgeons will literally put your heel bones in backwards given the opportunity because they don't know shit about fuck
>>7894640I mean, some of the most well known manga artists were in medicine.
>>7895003You wrote this like a spaz but "just draw" is indeed garbage advice, it's hardly advice at all.
>>7894640I went to medschool. Artists know anatomy better than doctors (except surgeons) in many ways. It's not that funny, really.They'd be better with nerves and vascularity and how to name every small thing, but actual understanding? That's in the realm of the artist who studies it every day.Physicians are overrated in many, nany ways. Clueless, book smart practitioners, thinking themselves scientists.
>>7908141>Artists know anatomy better than doctorsyou're talking about unicorn artists who actually know their anatomy, which likely less than 1%most artists just make shit up or use references
Which is the better painting and why
>>7909069they are both extremely shit and you have no talent OP
It's better to you ask this on /beg/ & /int/
Animation general will archive soonGo vote for whatever posted animation should be the next OP image >>7871881We need board-wide input on thisVote for multiple anims you like in your vote-post So a few favourites wont steal the showWe will tally all the total votes when the thread archivesGod speed Patriots o7o7o7
bump
>>7908384Why not just take over as the thread maker? Seems like you're more invested than anyone else...people don't care about "voting" and if they do it's just trolling. They just want to have someone trustworthy to make the thread with randomized art like listening to a playlist on shuffle as nearly everyone here is lazy to upkeep things.
>>7909258im tryna incentivize pywplus being anonymously voted for is more gratifying than fake social media likes
>>7909259I see the strategy, but if people got animations to post they'd post it. Luckily for you by default you won't get the usual trolls to your general that will object to any voting but that also means no artificial conversation starters.
bump the second
What is the path to learning to draw?I remember once seeing an image that mentioned topics like "perspective," "form," "shading," "anatomy," etc. I believe that improving one's drawing skills begins with mastering the basics. Once you succeed, you reach a higher level of understanding and, at the same time, become a better artist. Simply put, I'd like to know what you think is the path or foundation that allows one to excel in the art of drawing.
>>7905165this drawing in his video looks pretty nice>expertsas for teaching, the best way to learn how to do something is to get advice from someone slightly above your skill levellearning from experts is nearly impossible if you're not already really fucking goodremember there's something called the Expert Blindspot and it makes learning from them very difficult
>>7905165Those that can't, teach
>>7905158Take care, friend. Thank you for the drawings, they are really cute
>>7905298Like Glenn Vilppu, amrite /r/eddit?

you dont need anything else

>>7905129heh
>>7905421>Its just obvious you dont draw because ticonderoga pencils kick assTicondergas are the shittiest pencils for drawing.
the last 2 sketchbooks i used came from a dollar store and i still use the Walmart brand sketch pencils and erasers. the sketchbooks are bad
>>7909543im using a small Walmart sketchbook its pretty annoying to use but whatever im determined to fill this little fuvker up
Does "modernizing" your art style to cater to modern audiences always make your art look blander by default?
Also I've seen at least a dozen new arthouse films in the last few years what are you talking about. You just don't watch movies. Sure indie prods are a thing but those were never the big money makers.
>>7909210This anon is right. The blackest blackpill is that everything you grew up with was always cancer and it was always infested with the propaganda that is so insufferable today, cause they knew they couldn't go full niggertranny globohomo right after WW2. They needed to psyop the youth one step at a time. It's obvious now that all the media heroes of the past are all on board with the same shit today. we got boiling frog'd for generations and worshipped mercenaries who were serving the same agenda that is obvious today
>>7908956What if you fail to create the next Demon Slayer?
>>790921080s manga artists literally say themselves that they had more freedom back then, retard. They probably know it better than you. Katsuhiro Otomo for example said it. Back then you just could draw whatever you wanted, while nowadays you always have editors telling you what to do.
>>7908674Jesus christ I almost named my blonde short haired OC AriadneThank god i saw this post, it's really hard to come out with something original
How big should my characters boobs be?
>>7909201it doesn't matter since you can't draw to begin with
>>79092011st gen xbox.
>>7909201Khzaar Milkers
>>7909864Hot
>>7909201>How big should my characters boobs be?If you're asking, the answer will always be; "Bigger".
If talent is the only thing that matters according to crabs then why was all of Europe terrible at drawing for 1000+ years until the enlightenment where they got books on figure drawing?
>>7906263pic rel zoomed out
>>7906263>considering how simple it seems to learn 2/3 point perspective today, this development (or lack of) is far more puzzling to me.Every innovation seems obvious in hindsight. I was just watching a video on that earlier. How it's not actually easy to make something as simple as the modern soda can. It took manufacturers years just to think to put a thingamajig on it that secures the tab in place so that people are not littering the earth with metal garbage; and it took additional years of product development to engineer the design of it for mass production. This is before getting to the can itself, which wasn't obvious.It took until after WW2 for someone to invent the modern, mass-produced ballpoint pen, even though a patent for a ballpoint pen design dates back to the 19th century. It was that fucking difficult to get the silly little ball in it to deliver ink consistently, and today we have mastered the technology so greatly that we see them as disposable.
>>7906282>Every innovation seems obvious in hindsight.i agreebut perspective isnt really comparable to soda cans and ball point pens. those are examples of perfectly engineered products, while 3 point perspective is more like a geometric truth.
>>7897872talent is just a convenience word: you see someone being good at something and you don't know why so you just call it talent.As for the medievals think as to why that period associated with the dark ages. greeks could sculpt very well.
>>7906300perspective is not easy at all ive read a book on number zero authors claims that perspective was discovered right after hindu/arabic numerals were imported to the weston top of these numerals being superior to romans in every way it had a way to describe the concept of zero no way to do that in romans. so what this lead to is flexibility in being able to describe 3d space accurately suddenly the idea that things vanish at the vanishing point is not so spooky anymore and easier to communicate and articulate.imagine for a second a language where word for zero doesn't exists how could you come up with perspective in that kind of scenario? and if you could come up with it how could you teach it to others?geometric innovations that came thanks to hindu/arab numbers also helped.now is that author correct? maybe. I feel like ancient Greeks and ancient Chinese could've discovered perspective too if it werent for romans/mongols without these numerals.
I am looking for timelapses or ideally real time of drawing NOT RENDERING OR PAINTING. I have a few sources I managed to get my hands on ModernDayJames videos, along with @riylart in youtube's videos which i also like, but beyond that i only have disparate scraps of random videos i find lurking on twitter or youtube. Does anyone know of a source of the kind of video i am seeking
Yeah, this one is a little too fast.>>7908945You know, by switching around periodically, I bet he keeps his eyes fresh all the time.
>>7908331do you have a gofile/mega for these timelapse by teal line?
>>7909029can you do KJG?>>7908041
>>7908555>>7908844Kaga, ungoogleable name lolhttps://x.com/k_o465
>>7909570>Last demo from KJG was from 3 years agoDidn't feel like it was that long.
ever since college started I have no time to fucking draw and get goodwhat do I do
>>7909336
>>7909386I am guessing that people who make drawing their living are ready to accept struggling even if they could make more money giving art up. Personally If I get to a point where I can no longer draw, I'm just going to kill myself. I don't care about money enough to want to live without art.
>>7909790>Art..Could it be that your "art" thing is just a mental construct to excuse yourself from what all the rest of the people must do out there to survive?It's like if someone would say " If I have to give up gaming online 24/7 I'm gonna kill myself, I'M A GREAT GAMER AND IT IS MY PASSION! LISTEN WORLD, FIX YOUR SHIT AROUND MY PASSION! OR I'LL KILL MYSELF"No, the world out there won't give you a cozy little tower with secured food, energy and internet so you can draw all day whatever you want. You know it doesn't work like that. You already know that, and you insist on fooling yourself.
>>7909800> the world out there won't give you a cozy little tower with secured food, energy and internet so you can draw all day whatever you wantit will, actually.
>>7909802Maybe in china.
I miss 5 years ago pinterest, it was amazing finding stuff in 3 or 4 image clicks, now they fucked up their algo with ads and retarded censorship. any good alternatives for image refs and other artists work?
>>7908012https://film-grab.com/http://referenceangle.com/here are some i use for references/inspirationi also don't see how pinterest is unusable if all ur gonna use it for is inspiration. also imagine having ads in 2026 r u also running on internet explorer?
>>7909644is this for Casper? who we going after chief?
>>7909671damn i havent used referenceangle in a second, it used to have a lot more images it's kinda scuffed now. flim grab still looks kino though
>>7908012It's a shame FFFFOUND! died. It couldn't create personal boards, but it was great for going down rabbit holes of inspiration and references.That aside, are.na is pretty cool, though the whole paying for an account thing is lame (free account seem quite limited, from my understanding), but if you just find a few people and boards to bookmark, they'll basically curate a bunch the images for you.
>>7909642you sound like a typical redditor, anon..this is bad news
All the good ateliers have closed and the only academies left do shit like this nowGrim
>>7908843I'll never understand why "transgressive" is exclusively applied to sexually offensive art but not offensive art in general. It's brave and stunning to show a BDSM rape bestiality murder orgy but if you disturb the comforted with anything besides genitalia you're suddenly fair game to censor and nobody makes the "it could be us next" argument. My best guess at the rationalization is the kind of people who believe this also believe we currently unironically live in nazi germany so drawing a swastika is conforming to the establishment and thus anti-art or something.
>>7907760Why is it always women who do these stupid things??? Even at feminist marches, they claim to be making protest art and then they do these stupid things or stand naked and hairy, they call any crap art or try to give it a non-existent artistic meaning.
>>7909528>Why is it always women who do these stupid things???Attention seeking? I think women want attention on themselves moreso than men. Both men and when want accolades and prestige, but I think a quite happy with being looked at just because.Consider picrel, which is a observably true phenomenon. I think bullshit is similar; making actual art is difficult, but making YOURSELF the artpiece? That's not. So it's easy attention.(and before some moron whiteknights, keep in mind that men are more likely to spurg out and murder someone - pointing out differences in behavior isn't sexist.)
>>7909604>Both men and WOMEN want accolades and prestige, but I think WOMEN ARE quite happy with being looked at just because.Why do I never notice these mistakes before I hit post?
>>7909528Because they're mental midgets lmaoIt wouldn't be a problem if they weren't also such tslef centered vindictive creatures but here we are
Hello,The more i live the more dots are being connected, of resulting picture of art as a "hidden" deeper timeless description of our existence.I was thinking what sources do you use to find out the meaning, symbolics of certain art?Josef Liesler - Skupina podivných soudců (Group of Strange Judges)
>>7907050Thats a cool painting nona
>>7907050>I was thinking what sources do you use to find out the meaning, symbolics of certain art?I generally don't care for doing so. If I'm unable to deduce what the image is trying to convey by just the image alone, then I feel it's failed somewhat.If I'm super enraptured by an image, sure, maybe I'll want to look up more about it including the artist's intent, but in most cases the artwork should speak for itself.
>>7907050it requires a lot of studying and judgment. you can't just study symbolic meanings that were particular to one era or place and apply it universally.deciphering art from the era of of the painting you posted might be impossible in that artists of that time, especially the surrealists, often worked in solipsistic ways. it may not even be about a particular meaning but about a sense of having a meaning. whereas studying something from the renaissance might be difficult in that they were meant for princely viewers who read history, classics, philology, the bible and their commentaries.
>>7907050jews
>>7907050art critics, art historians as well as authors themselves just look them up also remember that 99% of it is just crazy stuff dont get high on it
