Landscapes feel more real to me I spend a lot of time walking in the country side and woods. It is a way to clear my head. I can look at a landscape photo or painting and it makes me happy. There is always the constant cycle in nature of new things to see. If l look at a portrait I conveys the sadness in the human conviction. We all die we all lose love ones eventually. Nature never lets me down. It might sound pretentious but it is the way I feel.

I only use pen to make my stuff

Do any books focusing on rendering in the way academic "Classical realists" do?
Like you can get down blocking in and other workings on your own but the level of rendering they have is unique among what seems like the vast majority of them that gives the feeling of how they do it. I'd just like to prove I can get it done too without paying $1000 for a couple day workshop.
For now I just can't really get behind how it's done, I know point size and gradual toning in matters, but these guys get really specific, pic related is done in graphite, charcoal, chalks, probably blender stump, probably on toned paper, heightened with white, and alcohol for smoothing.
That's a very specific fashion of doing it and I was never a big pencil guy aside from the early phases, while it seems like knowledge on having a full arsenal on this stuff is of the upmost importance when it comes down to it.
So if there are any books dealing with the subject of layering in depth from one hardness to another or when to blend and when not to? I'd appreciate it if any existed.

ah, so it's a language barrier issue, I see. I don't know how it is in your slavic hellhole, but here in the West, using a reference means copying another image, be it a photo, another drawing/painting, or an AI image. When painting or drawing from life, we don't call that a reference, that's just your model or your subject. Hope you don't confuse the two again!

Part of the soul of hand-drawn animation is those subtle differences between each drawing. Even a character drawn twice by the same guy will yield different results.

The eraser thing is kinda weird yeah, but you guys do know that you can make your eraser diferent than the brush you draw with, and make your eraser just the eraser brush that's in krita? No need for plugins either.
>>
>>7674849
I'm used to Krita so it feels way better to me than SAI. But SAI does have one enormous advantage which is that the program opens in about one second flat (or even less), while Krita takes almost a minute of sitting around at the splash screen.
Similarly with creating a new document, it's instant in SAI somehow. Amazing to try an art program which is actually reasonably optimized

How does this board feel about the Comix/Zine scene? I find it really interesting how art can be used to spur movements and knowledge so effectively back in the day, and sometimes that kinda thing works nowadays too. It's a pretty rad thing, right?

Have any of you ever participated in a zine before? I almost got the chance once, but I just slightly missed the deadline. :[

Well, for starters, it's not really a tool. A tool is something you use to make something - AI just does the making itself.
But even beyond that it's not really useful. Reference? It constantly makes basic mistakes, so anyone who's not already at a decent level of skill shouldn't be using it. Compositions, posing, idea generation, ect.? It trends towards the most basic shit, just because of how it works.
You're also doing yourself a disservice - you're taking the workload off your brain, so you aren't training your mind anymore. There's a lot of evidence to show how using AI rots your brain, why would you think this would be any different?

>when you got a fucking deadline to meet mastering your own personal skills is second to getting the fucking drawings done. In a medium like animation where volume consistency is key to making the character look the same from frame to frame of course these are useful tools.
>All those Renaissance Masters who flexed about drawing perfect circles were all fucking gay anyways, the only people who care that they did that are art history majors who think thats the coolest shit(theyre retards btw)

General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:
1. 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 such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.
