What would you do if one day you were kidnapped, taken to a city forgotten by God, and forced to race in the most dangerous, brutal, and degenerate festival in the world—where rules do not exist, and every race is not a competition but a war, where not even being the fastest would guarantee your victory?

Welp, i´m not finished yet, so go play Motorstorm and you will get the idea

Have anyone checked out OurPaint ?
https://www.wellobserve.com/OurPaint/index_en.html i've been using it on and off, and it's a pretty robust painting program, only con I have is that it's a solo dev effort, but the dev's an autistic software + aeronautic engineer so there's probably a lot of effort going on in there.
pic rel (not mine) was done on it.

Every new project is a learning experience. I started with a portrait and composed the rest around her making it a continuation of a story I did a year or so ago. This is now Mostly Finished, and I can set it down before it turns black. Black gel ink was the finishing touch, and I tried to stop with it sooner than later. My " I Forgive You " was too attacked by gel ink and I learned my lesson then.

Possibly. It's also possible that he drew/scratched out a single line, and then went back over the line with ink, breaking the line up into 'dots'.

Stop looking at anatomy books or art books. Look at statues.

Statues show you how best to draw anatomy. None of this bad looking shit, no, it's the most idealized, best looking form of anatomy.

Artbook is anatomy done by B/C tier artists, while statues is anatomy done by S tier artists.

Sure statues might not tell you what a muscle is but it's not hard to use a bit of research skill to fill in the supplemental information (seriously are you retarded? just read wikipedia)

Statues tell you only the muscles you need to learn, and they tell you each for both male and female. No more second guessing. Anatomy books give you the whole shebang and some of those muscles look downright ugly if you indicate it fully.

Bernini and Canova wrote perfect anatomy books, far better than anything you'll find nowadays.

The key to “making it”!in art is to give your life to art. It’s why you have people that want to rush through everything, but there are no shortcuts. No famous artist made it unless they gave their lives to this craft.

It's also about aquiring information. If you have no access to information, then you don't even know what you are doing. Good artists usually also have access to information and all kinds of inspirations from a young age on.

What's your honest opinion?
Personally, it's the most generic and cringeworthy thing I see these days. At least at parties and in cities, it's the most degrading and devaluing thing because of the way it treats you, not as an artist, but as some damn harlequin. A grandma doing a croissant has more dignity.

As a former caricature artist for the Smithsonian, it's a hard job but fun if you like to draw in a slightly stressful fast-paced environment. Some people like that, it's not humiliating at all just sounds like you're a little socially anxious and don't care about making people smile.

It does a lot more good than posting halfassed coomer OCs on 4chan. It's also a lot harder than you think

I tend to not like caricatures because they're either;
Not a good representation of the person, and doesn't really look like them;
It's just flat out ugly art, often with the subjects head being stylistically different than the rest of the image, to the point of being distracting;
If it is stylistically consistent, the style is often hideous and not appealing to look at.

I do like Mort Drucker's caricatures though, probably only because I generally like his art, and even his caricatures often feel like they're trying to hard to say "Here's celebrity X's face!", to the detriment of the overall image.
Picrel is just a random Mort drawing, I'm not even sure it's a caricature... I really need to save more of his stuff.

The Internet has done untold damage to pornography by making it an antisocial institution. It’s solely about intimacy and other people, but people growing up in the internet age think that it’s the opposite of that.
Anyways, porn is literally not supernormal. Anything produced with a camera can be just as well be seen without one, and anything produced without is directly projected from the mind into the medium. You’ll see the same stuff while having a wet dream. It wouldn’t break your water fast. There’s quite literally nothing there that could be meaningfully different from caveman times.

I kinda see your point a little bit, but largely I disagree. If you were interested in weird degenerate kink stuff (or were gay) you had to network and have social groups etc. Being into weird kink shit irl is quite pro-social in my limited experience. On the internet tho? I think the screen changes things a lot.

Okay you are probably some imagination gigachad who can see the apple in full 3D rotating around in full colour in your head xD
I think that the reality is that most teenage boys today have seen more naked women then ancient emperors and pharaohs have. Plus we have editing and photoshop, not to mention half this board is obsessed with drawing porn, most of which is quite supernormal i.e. exaggeration and and outright fantasy (impossibly large busts, genitals, copulation with mythical creatures, furries etc.) All this on 90% adobe SRGB monitors and high resolution. Just the sheer variety alone accessible at virtually any convenience is alone enough to make it supernormal.

Or alternatively buy a few decent sketchbooks and a set of different grade pencils, and save the rest of the money for later while you fill up your sketchbooks with copies of your downloaded books.

Find out if your local area has a store that sells old library books. I visit mine about twice a year and I always feel like a fucking bandit with the shit I find in there.

Drawings of Mucha (complete works of Alphonse Mucha), Erte (French fashion illustrator), JC Leyendecker, Bridgman Constructive Anatomy, Offerings (Brom), Animal (a to z of high quality nat geo animal photos), John Singer Sargent (complete works).

$3 each. You can get 3 or 4 new books from a regular bookstore or you can get fucking 30 secondhand books. It's very simple.

>>7896129
Yup. Sorry OP I know you don’t like looking at a screen but buying physical copies of books in 2026 is really not necessary. If I were in your shoes I’d buy sketchbooks and supplies so I could do a fuckton of drawing . Rather be in a situation that I can afford a sketchbook but don’t have a book than had a book but can’t afford a sketchbook or paper
