Lines, shapes, value, form.. when will you finally realize that the most fundamental aspect of art is SOUL?
>>5022575When something looks too similar to other stuff youve seen, its soulless.You get soul by breaking the rules. In order to break the rules you need to understand the rules. A kids scribbles have soul but they still suck.
>>5023728>You get soul by breaking the rules. In order to break the rules you need to understand the rules.>A kids scribbles have soul but they still suck.You contradict yourself in your own post, kids don't know any rules in painting.
>>5023735Kids don't know any rules and therefore the only thing they can do is break them. Its entirely original, 100% soul.If you want your drawings to not suck you need to know the rules. But if you go 100% rules, you will be only repeating what everyone does and get no soul at all. Therefore you need to break the rules.The thing is, for a drawing to both look skillful and soulful you need to be aware of what you are breaking. A broken neck is soulful but also ugly, but if its on a waifu that youve drawn for coom then youve messed up.Fundamentals first, soul will come after.
>>5022672nice artcringe book
>>5023768So what you mean by that is, that as we roam our lives, our soul will get distorted by the individual occurrences. However, through the acquisition of the fundamental energy that we learn from the fundamentals of drawing, we recognize our destroyed soul and this now finds itself to its origin by ultimately returning all parts of fundamentals which wie studied and is able to give life into our ability in which we can create now with a soul purpose?
doodles? sketches? studies? you're welcome here to share your shit probably no one is ever going to see[spoiler]shitty car edition[/spoiler]
>>5023846ok ok, I thought posting my studies will be a little bit boring, I will try to vary my drawings
>>5022563i dunno what this is supposed to be
>>5023863that would probably even do you some good! no pressure thoughyou can do it anon
>>5022981Get out of /ic/
What's /ic/s opinion on hyper realistic artwork? (specifically done with pencil on paper)
>>5019600this
It's retarded as hell and only low IQ normalfags like it.
>>5020006>woodcutter making a very intricate bonsai from a tree trunkuhh... I don't think bonsais work like that anon
>>5019464hard to do but not really worth itkind of like painting the walls of your home with a small brush rather than with proper equipment. It's impressive in some way but what's the point
>>5019504>haha why climb a mountain just use a helicopterThere's a parable in the pali canon which is precisely about this. Basically there's this old monk who trained for his whole life to be able to walk on water, and, prompted by his disciples, the Buddha goes to visit him. Once he gets there he asks the monk to give him a demostration, and the monk does so by crossing a river by walking on it. The Buddha considers him for a brief moment, then he crosses the same river by using a boat, he then tells the monk that he wasted his whole life learning to do something that could be achieved by simpler means, calls him a retard and leaves.

>>5022076im a 5i literally draw only from own my produced refs so no faggot can call me out lol>inb4 muh imagination drawing youll need refs for poses that dont exist!!!!!!!shut the fuck up retards lmao
>>5022076I fucking hate this. I believe everyone isnabout the same but its a breakdown of communication. Some dumbasses think others actually visibly hallucinate and can see things imagined like its sitting infront of them irl. Nobody actually hallucinates unless theyre on some hard psychadelics maybe.
Sort of like the video explanations of Huston's book. I see some odd videos scattered here and there, but I'm hoping to find something that covers the entire book. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You'll hate and ignore my answer op, but have you tried copying every single drawing in Hampton as you worked through it? Single most helpful thing you can do, and I regret not doing it at first when I had Hampton. You can't understand him just by reading or watching him, you have to really study every drawing and that can only happen by copying his drawings.
>>5024318I guess I'll give it a shot then. Did not realize how important that is, thanks!

OP here. I think I'm figuring it out. Let me know what you think
>>5024145You need to learn how to just draw, my fellow beglet.
For me, it's Brent Eviston.

I'm on week one and really like the approach
Does anyone have any experience with geometry/pattern in art. I’m working on an old style Iranian-esque artwork and doing the borders of it alone has been a fun but time consuming project. I’d like some tips if people are knowledgable on the subject. From what I can tell this board is mainly just anime girls but I'd like to ask anyway.Pic related, it’s a rough draft right now though. Tell me what I could change or improve out of this so far if you would like. I can post my processes too if anyone wants
>>5020292This is p sick anon.
unfortunateky iti is one of those subjects that you become better at invention of through familiarity and not so much information dumps. and it is also that is historically dependant on materials and old techniques available.
good stuff
tangentially related but I absolutely love gothic stuff
>>5020292Cool, what got you into doing this kind of art, was it something you just enjoyed doing when you were younger? >I usually make Asian Traditional art and calligraphyCan we see one of them?
I'm fairly new at posting and selling my art, my commissions are constantly open but finding buyers isn't quite so easy! Anyone have any advice for me, artistically or business-wise? :)
>>5020576>Your rendering is garbage.I'd say it's not too bad but she could do better, that being said: The stickers aren't rendered properly and look like they're floating above their skin, the eyes look very symbol-y, the hair is barely and not properly rendered, which causes it to clash with the airbrushed skin and the left shoulder of the left figure is dislocated (red circle in pic related), you should practice anatomy more OP
>>5020455I kneel to our new queen. Please post feet.
>another bait thread about some anon larping as an artist he doesn't likewhy is this a daily thing
>>5020455
>>5020455You won't get buisness coz you ain't ready. You still have a long way to become good enough in your art style. Improve the product.
/Beg/ here.Went to crtpaint.com who teaches to use a soft brush for gradient and erase the excess with hard brush. Using that I did this painting.Then I find Istabrak who teaches to block out with a hard brush then blend/smudge in gradients and whoever varies is trash.Does it really matter?
>>5022717That's the thing about digital painting, there's no standardized way on how to do it.I'd recommend going hard to soft, because it forces you to make clear decisions and gives you more control over your shapes.
>>5022858I'll try it. Thanks.
>>5022717Whatever works for you anon. No rules only tools.
I like the textures I get better going from hard to soft. Dark to light with the rim lighting under my lightest layer of soft colors diluted to an extent. I like my flesh to look like plaster of paris or peach skin. Maybe my bias would be different if I didn't draw so much hentai. Like if wanted a more sleek, cold, or shadow intensive look or needed something better suited toward animation where people expect a sort of flat, plastic look.I don't know. I imagine you could get identical results either way, I just don't know how to do it the opposite and if it's not broke; don't fix it.

Buckle in buckaroos, PS just got obsolete.
>>5023411>huejitter or atleast something very similar is confirmed in the video.Then as long as there is "dual brush" support too I can see photoshop brushes working>>5023860LIQUIFY is really the last thing that artist needs to use right now>>5022463I see a lot of artists who do great paintings in CSP
>>5023860This sucks let's be real
>>5023379mixer and smudge brushes suck fucking dick compared to csp's blender brushes
>>5024195>mixer brushes are g->NOOO YOU DON'T NEED THEMHave you ever considered the fact that you just suck dick at art and that CSP is also just completely lacking in anything that isn't lineart related and that using it for anything it isn't tuned to provide is just cope?
>>5023278>Comic toolsthis is why CSP is better for making comics, but for painting i'd use Photoshop
I think it’s beautiful
>>5022851to me it looks like a twig and a leaf floating in a koi pond from the perspective of the koi.i rate it 10/soul
