Any idea on how to get similar results and if this is style is appealing ?

>>7373366my post sounded like AI for some reason, here i tried doing it my way
>>7371608Comic book style inking shadows + coloring with flat colors + a little renderingFor the basic inking part, david finch has good tutorials on youtube
>>7371608The artstyle is way too unique and stylized. The coloring is super high contrast with lighting coming from the back of the subject, complementary light from an odd color. The process for the artstyle looks like he sketched a cartoon and gave it relief based on anatomy, as opposed to either drawing a cartoon outright, generic stylized anime or an anatomically correct character from first intention.
>>7371628The only reason art trend is that instruction is forgotten and the trend itself is referenced based on marketing metrics. It has nothing to do with people liking it or not. The "free market" isn't as free as it claims, it's masturbatory and its purpose is profits gained by any means possible. Hard to judge art when you're talking about profits or trends.
Considering investing in a drawing figure. Anyone knows one thats versatile and make a wide range of poses?
>>7370834those cowl figures are still being sold? Last I checked, they were all sold out
>>7373792Nope, sold out.
>>7373339nigga you are really fucking stupid
>>7373939>>73737922nd hand figures exist.
>>7371076
Should I buy this? I really want those 3D models.
>>7373729it seems a lot but thats like 1 credit in university.
>>7373806any decent channels you recommend?
>>7373040That pastebin has a lot of invaluable assets for studying, thank you very much anon.
>>7372954Nice try proko.
what happened with the videocourse general?
idk, the anatomy feels kinda off but i cant put my finger into it
>>7368824it's good, but maybe i wouldn't make the arms exactly a straight line since the arms looks more stylized than the body nowNot that important i guess
>>7368824simple

Welcome to /life/. Life drawing is a great way to solidify your understanding of perspective, forms, and movement in the real world to apply them to your own works and pieces. Drawing from life is critical to your development as an artist, yet unfortunately ignored by many artists. Draw from life. It has all of the answers to any question you have. “Reminder: Famous artists that learned drawing from life>Rembrandt>Kim Jung Gi>All the Renaissance masters>Andrew Loomis>George Bridgman>Sargent>Rubens>Repin>Gibson>Rockwell>Hopper>LeyendeckerComment too long.

>>7373883It’s looking really damn good anon. Idk if you’re done with the shading, but maybe shade the belly to be more spherical? If you were going to do that, it more it. Otherwise i think this is good work. Keep posting.

What do you think about this guy? He's your typical "artist wanna be" turbo autist who got a golden ticket to do whatever an artsy autist feels it needs to be done to "make it". He's renting a huge studio in NYC, he made an art trip to Europe with a bunch of people, he just did a failed art exposition in Down town NY with his crappy shit, and he's using "his" own money. He seems to be using the UNI money for this and he's going at it all gas no brakes. He's gonna crash eventually and it's gonna be epic.His art sucks, but I think that such epic and "based retarded" effort deserves the attention of everyone here, to see what happens when you got yourself high in your own delusions. This guy is setting himself on fire for art, and he doesn't give a fuck, till he start feeling the flames, that is.
>>7373965This is the same thing I see in most atelier-type graduates, half their output is fucking self portraits. How are you gonna sell any of that? Nobody wants a crappy painting of your ugly face, get your narcissism under control.
>>7373973Most of art masterpieces throughout history are portraits or self portraits.
>>7373983>most masterpieces are portraitsI'm not debating that at all. Read my post again.>most masterpieces are self portraitsthis is such a stupid take. Most art masterpieces are definitely not self portraits. And even if they were, most of those were self-portraits done at the peak of an already successful career, where they showed themselves as an established artist and showed off all their glory. There are very few self-portraits that established or cemented a career. First you make a name for yourself, then you show off how much of a badass you are. Rembrandt is one of the few exceptions.
>>7373765>You are a little bit stupid, right? But I agree with everything you just said.Thank you.
>>7373992>Most art masterpieces are definitely not self portraits. And even if they were, most of those were self-portraits done at the peak of an already successful career, where they showed themselves as an established artist and showed off all their gloryA guy named Van Gogh begs to differ
>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance.

I did a very basic sketch of this a while ago, but no one said if it was good or not, so i did in trad now hoping to see if this seems fit for a cover or not
Panel redraw
A WISH TO START A new manga IDEA pINKpEONIEsis the unofficial title, its going to be the interplay of the life of an older male artist inter spliced with the life of a young female artist. It's based off my interactions and seeing how my younger cousin, who was visiting from a different country, Katyusha acted and her drawings still resonate with me. I think the conclusion is "Life always has problems, whether you're a small girl hoping to be taken seriously or an older guy who is still "figuring it out" . I think actually asking my cousin for the female artist perspective would be interesting. shes basically 12 and I'm 32. We 100% bond first and foremost as art bros. truthfully, she's scary good but im going to try to keep her PTSD down about her dad dying at a young age due to alcoholism. Part of me wonders if I should go for the whole RUSKI in AMERIKA xaxaxa type comedy instead well anyways, i guess this is just my way of saying i can see my cousins fondness for writing knives, stones (even something bulimia?) I'm a little scared to address the problem, but I woudn't know how to address the eating disorder thing most apprioately. im just coming to the conclusion from looking into her drawings, she definitely has some sort of eating disorder and fixation; whats the most subtle way of helping her out?
>>7375227>whats the most subtle way of helping her out?ask a pediatrician, or /lsg/
>>7375227She's 12 with an eating disorder? That's rough.I was a preschool teacher for 10 years, and worked with under 12 summer camp for when school was out.I don't know your relationship with her, but eating with her is a great place to start.We had a 1 acre garden at our school.You wouldn't believe the kinds of fruits and veggies kids would eat when they pick it themselves. Kids love foraging. Eating straight up raw kale, limes and cucumbers, just because we grew them ourselves.If that isn't an option, cooking. We did lots of cooking with the kids. Just something simple, teaches them to measure, prep, clean, and it's hard to not want to try what you made.As for the art, kids are a great way to find the pulse of what's popular, and what kind of trends are in. But as for writing? No. I wouldn't expect a collab with her at 12 if I were you, in terms of art or writing. Kids are great at ideas, not fully flushed out work.
Will it still be possible to make money from art 5 or 10 years from now?
>>7373455Which constants are changing? I could make money off it
>>7373494Nah man, I don't want to do live streams. I want to do comissions, make manga etc...
>>7373788Live streaming (interacting with people in general) is a way to get people to know and like you, and want to buy a comission from you, for example. But do what you want.
Yes. Authors aren't going anywhere.
>>7373485Do mixed media and search for your very specific niche, have a project and not just do FOTM anime bitch #214 render.
Post portraits here, digital and trad both welcome as long as they are portraits.
>>7372921Welcome to 4chan, newfag :^)
>>7372809at 1cm scale, a mistake of 1mm is 10%at 30cm scale, a mistake of 1mm is 0.003%not to mention that it's easier to correct at bigger sizes instead of trying to move a line a fraction of a millimeter
>>7372809Just go from big shapes first down to small ones, use your visual measuring and plumb lines to make sure everything is lined up. Most important is general to specific, big ideas first and details last. This is usually what fucks people up with large drawings and paintings.
>>7373136>>7373141You guys make such good points honestly, ill do what you’ve suggested and see what happens
>>7373124i need to be more organized about how i'm going to apply shading and the terminator and just stick with one thing
SHE'S BACK! And the new video is amazing, What do /ic/ think about HER?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbBJYBK3D_k
>>7364242Thanks anon!
>>7356301no fucking idea what "/ic/" as a collective consciousness, but she's will always be my biggest celeb crush
>>7356301A Christine McConnell thread in this board? Wow, I never thought that I would see that day
where's the video course general?
>>7372191You will have to look for it in the warosu archive. Grab the sticky and open a new thread.
i’m not sure if i’m just being bigoted but whenever i see certain drawings depicting obesity, self harm, scars in general, and an overall poor display of anatomy i assume the artist is disabled/ homosexual and i’m usually rightso, why do they draw that stuff and how come it’s such a common pattern between them
the content itself is by and large virtue-signaling, though some (regrettably) I would suspect mainly just like the style. why they tend to draw that way seems fairly obvious enough: that's what they see/know. any art community is going to have trends in the sort of content they make and the style or quality with which they make it. this isn't exclusive to gay retards.
>>7373548Satanists can't create anything beautiful
Because they are all mentally disturbedImagine spending your entire day gaslighting yourself about every single thing, making up one delusion after another, and just rejecting any lesson that you can build upon, would result into a very messed up artArt is the reflection of one's soulJust look at this artMade by a priest and hired by the Church, and yet his art always looked off. Guess what they found?>Aside from Rupnik's artistic departures from reality, his 20 or 30 accusers (so far) say he coerced them into sexual acts through spiritual and emotional abuse. Their stories are horrifying. One accuser said he abused multiple female members of the Loyola Community, which he founded in his native Slovenia, before decamping for Rome, where he founded the Centro Aletti art institute in the early 1990s.>Rupnik's accusers say his sexual and spiritual abuse were essential to his creative processes.The Society of Jesus, the Jesuit order Rupnik joined in 1973, found the allegations credible and dismissed him in 2023 when he refused to abide by its restrictions. He promptly attached himself to a Slovenian diocese. He continues to produce and sell his work.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>7373548Echo chambers. People with dumb opinions tend to like to clump together with people who reinforce their dumb opinions, inevitably they all just blend together into copies of the same person through coercion and groupthink. Their ego and/or repulsiveness prevents anyone sensible from meaningfully reaching them.But you can see the same effect happen with chuds too, and their propensity for masturbating over anatomy studies and having zero capability for imagination.
What is 'good art'?
>>7372121You should've voted harder anon.That's your problem.
>>7371823let them die i dont give a single fuck about it, now that im reading this post i hope more of them die, the children and the woman.
>>7371475something that makes me jealous of their skills
>>7372121You might as well have. Fascist and priveleged little piece of shit. You won't help anyone in gaza, you wont help anyone in africa. Why even bring it up if you arent willing to do anything to help them yourself? You are basically a far right trump supporter with your actions. Just lying and then crying that others dont do what you want. You might as well have voted for him, little organge minion. You and him both do the same for these countries, absolutely fucking nothing but bitching about them. I spit on you.
>>7371823lol fucking sucks to be Gazan
What do you think

Raven is such an over rated character.
I just cured my aphantasia through meditation. It literally levels you up. you can look at a piece of paper and visualize the drawing before you even move your pen. Anyone who doesn't learn to cure this is NGMI.
>>7373661which ass did you pull that number from?
Do people with aphantasia not dream? Do they just close their eyes and exist within an empty void whenever they sleep?
>>7371012I tried some methods, like watching at a very bright light and closing your eyes after. Didnt really work. Is there a tutorial how to cure it?
If aphantasia was actually real or present in someone's mind they would be unable to write words from memory or know basic math but curiously every woman who diagnoses herself with this can do those and she lives just like any other person "without" the "disorder" can.
