The Old Masters are revered for their paintings, but this thread is to appreciate their drawings.

Here is Rembrandt's "The Actor Willem Ruyter as St. Augustine" (c. 1638).

Pretty sure in the /ic/ torrent there is an image collection of these ancient master drawings.
>>
many of Rembrandt's etchings are available on Google Art & Culture: https://artsandculture.google.com/entity/rembrandt/m0bskv2

where you can also find many other high-quality reproductions, from a wide variety of artists.

there was at some point a cache with gigabits of old drawings and paintings somewhere, not sure where it is. as far as books are concerned, the difficulty is to find ones with good quality reproductions. look for books made by artists, museum staff and the like.

don't forget that collecting thousands of drawings won't make you good. carefully study OP's drawing for a few hours on the other hand, would benefit you greatly

thinking about it, I saw a few books in local shops. but wouldn't recommend buying them for studying. most of those drawing are sketches, or preliminary works. they have value, but are generally sub-efficient for learning purposes

Is there a particular reason you cant learn to draw using your left side of the brain?

I know the right side is the one everyone desires, but most people can't use it 100% everytime.

So why not learn to draw using the analitical side of the brain?

I think I can draw nicely taking into account I still use my symbol drawing skills.

You guys may not like it, but he's the only artist I've seen who's drawing more like how all online anime art looked in the late 2000's/early 2010s. Like that Frieren looks like it could be in a Nightcore video. I love it very much.
>>
>>7730857
No it couldn't. It's way too bright for nightcore.

this is actually more of a result of chasing after trends and less so a result of losing 'soul'.

the guy found his niche originally in sci-fi punk art but punk became gayer and gayer to appeal to fujos and troons and decided to do the same thing.

There's a lot to art improvement that goes beyond just drawing and thinking about art. Your brain has to be healthy, stimulated and ideally your life should be low on stress. What should one do to improve his brain in ways that affect the ability to create good art? Does learning a new language or some other skill help? Have you noticed doing something completely unrelated to art and still growing artistically?

Gaining life experience. Ideally, traveling. Try getting short-time work in a variety of fields. Go to places you wouldn't normally go and talk to the people there. Pick a random direction in your town and just walk. Just do things and see what happens.

The next thing I would suggest is reading books.

Why you should not trust youtube shills:

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.

2021 HUION KAMVAS 16 any good? was thinking about that or spending a lil less for the XPPEN artist 13.3 inch

>>7730876
As someone who uses a display and screenless tablet I think there are benefits to both. I ink much faster on a display tablet and I have a better color range that I use to calibrate my other monitors, and screenless tablets are better for sketching since there's less input lag and I can use it as a replacement for my mouse which feels more comfortable. I think the big draw for display tablets is that it's more like physically drawing so if you come from a traditional art background you can paint in a way that's natural to you, kinda like how graphic tablets went from digitizer pucks to a stylus because that's more intuitive. But if you're using a tablet without a screen and you're satisfied there's really no need to spend money on a display, it's just a preference that some have.
>>
what is the cheapest visual tablet that isnt absolute garbage?
I have a screenless and i hate how it isnt imprecise, you always keep having to redo your lines to the point i've just bought lots of pens and paper and started going trad.
I plan buying a visual tablet in the future so i will probably have to save up for them but which ones you guys recommend?

The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

Huberman in an old episode mentioned that balance exercises like standing on 1 leg can enhance learning. Like you do a difficult balance pose for a while, and then learn what you want to learn.

He never mentions this again. Because it's probably bullshit, and he prefers to peddle garbage supplements and charlatans.
