Greetings! Could i get some critiques and tips on my paintings? I'm 20 and i would like to get ahead as fast as possible, had 5 exhibitions allready and didn't go to art school so i'm still kinda lacking on the "Know the right pepole" front.!!!Feel free to be harsh!!!! I need some cherry picking. But please don't say its shit, write it down why its shit. Thanks!!!

>>6404058If you want serious advice, the general problem is that your values are weak and uncoordinated. You need to either study light and shadow so the forms look better, or stylize more aggressively towards a cartoony style or something else.
>>6404103Thanks! Best of luck to you too! I'll share some digital "surrealism" then, tough its much more on the comic side.
>>6404112Yeah, that was my 3. time i painted with oil. But overall as to my every painting, i do need to play more with shadows, should give it a lot more debth. Thanks!
>>6404036I like this oneignore the incels insulting you
Is art school actually worth it? I’ve heard that it’s really only for getting connections into the industry. I want to be able to make art professionally but I want to know how much not going to college would limit me these days.
>>6404281No. Before you finish college you'll be obsolete.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mbcGJfPN18
>>6405611Learn to render better by doing studies and use reference to have realistic color and lighting.
>>6405611Hey even if it does not look like that one yours has a lot of good things going for it keep up the good work <3
>>6405728Just go to community college
>>6404281I would trade all my skill to have this level of confidence in my art

I love edgy art
>>6405348my therapist refuses to read anything I write
>>6405369kek, that's based>No, I'm not going to diagnose you on the basis of your edgy poetry anon.
>>6405396she's not alonethere isn't a single person in my life willing to read any of the shit i produce
not like i need my art to prove im a fucking emotional disasterthe events and feelings i describe are already enough to perplex & make her cringe alongside anyone else unlucky enough to see my shitposts
Who are some up-and-coming abstract artists?

What kind of Pixel Art is the most popular/common one?

>>6404756Thank you anonymous buddy.
Thoughts on this artist's style?
>>6405014>>6405037>>6405046Imagine white knighting Horikoshi so hard when the anons in question weren't even criticizing him that harshly to begin with and were highly praising him for his art, but no, anything less than absolute worship of every aspect of MHA sets your fantard rage to a screaming boil. That's just embarrassing, anon.
>>6403324He has borderline same-face syndrome. There's enough to tell characters apart at least.
>>6405227you cant be this fucking dumb, unironically making the popular = good argument
>>6403324wish I could draw like that
>>6405400>>6405483>Horikoshi can't write good stories. Waah!In the meantime his story is one of the most successful in the industry. He has perfectly tailored his story for his Japanese audience's demographic.Are you so dumb that you can't separate your personal preference from an objective assessment of the guy's skills? You seriously come off as low IQ.
How can I draw well like the old masters?
Destroy every electrical appliance in your home.
>>6404815The ones who were old and masterful
>>6403597He's an angloid.
>>6403597It's a reasonable suspicion to have on this website.
>>6403573this is a richard schmidt piece, couple of tips:- he used lead primed canvas- worked a lot with palette knives- his darks used primarily (pretty much only) transparent paint like alizarin crimson or transparent oxide red. read his book alla prima
What's tasteful, and what isn't?
>>6405192I'm not reading all that, but you should let people live their lives.
>>6405382based
>>6405102Usually depends on your tastes and personal politics at the end of the day.Propaganda that's an example of the artist's hard work and skills is more tasteful than some a bullshit infographic from prager-u/blm though. At least put some goddamn effort into it.
I think NSDAP stuff has a good ring to it: very bold & the coloring is done well
>>6405192Lots of words, but the second entry is based
>Join atellier>Promises to teahc you COLOR THEORY,COMPOSITION,TECHNIQUE>they just sit oyu down witha bunch of old women to copy pictures
>>6405475What is your point?
>>6404853The reason artists won't tell you this up front is the art-education-blackpill>The only two things that make artists better at drawing people is copying better artists and life drawing>all other practice is just distractions and memes made by people who wanna sell classes
>>6405620b-but muh construction
>>6405630.... but you use construction in both life drawing and master copies.
>>6405547begs get disappointed because they look for something that doesn't exist. they either find it is lacking or they end up learning superfluous material that just wastes their time and misdirect them away from their goals. begs really believe they can learn some set of true artistic principles which will allow them to do just about anything in art, many times without even having an idea about what kind of art they want to do.being able to copy pictures like a human zerox is probably the extent of fundamentals, for the kind of works that this bunch of old women expect to make.
Will drawing for 8-10 hours per day and not having much other hobbies actually benefit it if fast improvement is what I am looking for? I already have my goals and know what I want to draw, I just need actually good technical skills and more appeal to people in general
>>6405262Grind 8 hours of fundies and boxes and all you get is fundies and boxes. NGMI
>>6405290I think this is a wrong approach. He should develop his style alongside his fundies for a more natural development. Real life isn't like a video game where you jump from one level to another. You need to simultaneously develop your skills.
>>6405320Basically this. 1-2 hours a day is enough. As long as you draw consistently you will improve. Also there is no shortcut to it as this anon said>>6405271 You just need to enjoy it as you develop your skills and style.
>>6405262stop spamming these threads and go put in your mcdonalds application already
>>6405608If anon can’t learn to draw then anon can’t take a McDonald’s order.
How do the Japanese even learn to be this good at drawing anime characters? I don't unrderstand.
>>6404950They're surrounded by that kind of media and their society is based on work grinding.
>>6405332>sandnoise
>>6404950Follow the /asg/ sticky
>>6405332Did a 10 hour study. Think I got pretty close desu
>>6405530>noisegrain
>>6403421Jizzing with Drawa, he's still /beg/ after all these years
>>6403250No, he only teaches 2D. Concept art involves a lot of 3D nowadays and it might involve AI turds to skip photobashing and image hunting for noise/texturing
>>6403250Yes, it is.
>>6403832>>6403834Thanks for turning me onto this guy, his paintings are incredible. Impeccable draftsmanship,really cool hard surface design, and those gorgeous *reflections*, wew lad I'm kinda hot under the collar right now.
Janny deleted my thread because apparently the implied closure of FZD isn’t worth a slot on this 16 posts an hour board, so here’s the repost in the list thread.
thoughts on this book? is it a meme
>>6397223Definitely meme shit. You'd be better off doing a sight-size course than this shit.
Im so proud of this thread.
>>6397223>don't draw chair! part is actually useful
>>6397223Absolutely fundamental skill to have regardless of your ability level.Even if you've been drawing for years I would recommend it, it's short enough to read in a day and you can just skim any section that you already have a solid grasp on.
>>6397223I found it to be completely useless, but at least it didn't sabotage me with a bunch of incredibly destructive misconceptions about drawing, unlike Keys to Drawing.
what is the one artstyle that you just can't stand?
trigger'sthere's just something about their character design that makes me feel disgust
Artists like Doppel and Dross. I like traps, but hate that these guys' art feels too much like "Shadman Lite" to me.
>>6404597And speaking of bad trap art, most of this guy's art is like a visual representation of the worst of western trap/femboy art.
>>6397209
>>6405566Checked and that's pretty much low-hanging fruit
Hello, any one willing to share their daily, weekly, or monthly art study plan? How much is enough drawing per day in order to progress at a decent pace? I want to get some idea on how to setup my time properly and not waste time on anything else. Sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of resources at my disposal. >something like pic related
>>6404262This, drawing floating figures and heads only made me better at drawing floating figures and heads, I learned so much more when I stick with a piece until completion, it highlights the things you need to focus on.
>>6404237i just do a still life a day or sketch randomly on the street while studying anatomy at home, if there's something i dont get right then i drsw it 100 times
>>6404237You draw like that you're going to burn out and throw in the towel faster than just drawing 1-2 hours a day and then occassional 5 hour session in the weekend.>>6404262Also as this anon said. You can grind. But half of your priority should be on enjoying whatever you want to draw. Draw memes if you enjoy them ffs. Those are low effort, gives you quick dopamine boost, nobody going to care if you trace, and you can get better engagement. And then the other half is grinding whichever you feel like.I've been grinding a lot in 2013-2015, but rarely had I ever done a 'finished' work. It's in 2018 onwards where I just go on with finishing art that I started and then just post them. Occasionally I'll try something new and I'd get some breakthrough here and there.
>>6404237>wake up>black coffee and cigarette>start drawing>get hungry about 5 hours later>black coffee and frozen pizza>get back to drawing>hungry again after 6 hours or so>black coffee and cup noodles>get back to drawing>fall asleep on drawing table 7 hours laterRinse and repeat.
>>6404237I can body almost everyone on this board and I've never been able to keep up a schedule like this.Just do some sort of anatomy study or figure drawing session once a week and draw for fun the rest of the time and you'll move at a good pace. If you can do better than that, do it, but don't break yourself trying to solo this shit.Just draw isn't a meme.
