>Find someone whose paintings you like and just ask them to mentor you, it's the best education you can getWhat if I don't really like the way anyone is painting today or their methods.

>>7754726i came to this, not ashamed
>>7754685All the best artists are dead. You can still study their work and try to figure it out. The longer you keep at it the more you'll be able to understand.
>>7754734so you're saying learn necromancy first
>>7754734Ok thought so, thanks.
Share some of the figures you keep in your ref folder

How does one design original, appealing characters? As a beg, I can't even draw a doodle that looks halfway decent, and I imagine I'll always be like this, no matter what I do.Sure, maybe I'll improve at the fundamentals eventually, but I still don't know how to draw something appealing. Maybe I just don't have the soul for it.
>>7749311if no soul :( you can always go with designs that are 100% always gonna work. like a little witch with a big hat
melon
I think you should leave
>>7750446Why do you want to draw if you don't have ideas you like and would like to realize? To me it's simple: there are characters and stories i like, but they are not perfect. My goal is to mix all the parts i like into something that perfectly matches my sense for appeal i.e taste
>>7752661I think he's mostly talking about appeal.
What are the best courses or books to learn materials rendering?
>>7753801dielectric/metallic where?
>>7749776holy shit this takes edges to render
>>7754093*ages
>>7754030dielectric is diffuse metallic is reflective
Just picture how it would look in real life in your head and draw it.
How traditionally plan, plot refraction, reflection, translucency.... Basically glassy things or AO of things? Like, in scientific precision? Something like photoreal renders of architecture or crowds...All sorts of materials
make maquettes of the thing you want to paint, james gurney style
>>7754579Holy cow. He did this?>Translucent maquette What kind of material?
>>7754597>Translucent maquetteresin, or cut bits of plastic up(bottles etc)
How many times are you going to ask this question? Did you not like the answers you got the last 6 times you asked this?
How good can you get in 1 month?
>>7754211can we see your copies?
>>7744554Holy massive cope of a paragraph. They improved faster and better than any advice on this board.
>>7744342Some drawing methods works well with some people more than others. You just gotta try and see whether it meshes well with your line of thinking or not
>>7744554>people improve in other aspects>"uhmm ackshually these people don't realize it's a trap for them in le futuuure!" Holy crabbing at its finest
>>7744554if that post is to be believed, it's a month apart. chill bruh. no shit they haven't mastered complex anatomical knowledge in a month
>>7752757I got two screens, one on cintiq and the other is for checking my colour values calibrated with spyder. the cintiq screen are darker and tinted with nano ceramic tint to cut the light radiation. my background layer are usually coloured in midtones such as grey, off whites, sepia brown, novel paper (royal sundance, finch vanilla, munken) and navy blue.
>>7752135i can lift 35kg dumbells on chest days, i must say that alone took away wrist pain from drawing
>>7752135I had this stupid finger/wrist pain for the longest time after a couple hours of drawing, it was annoying. I finally got checked and it's my uric acid acting up.
don't have shit genes lol
>>7752135For me the pain only appears when I just started drawing and goes away with time if you persevere. After that, it usually never comes back
Post it
>>7739735To be fair, he did kinda look like that when he was younger. I think, even now, some moms could get wet looking at him.
here's my self insert OC. just so you know... *wink wink
>>7750752>no stream of piss
>>7736608Both don't look like the bishies i masturbate to, pass
>>7752002>its cartoony so bad anatomy is excused!holy /beg/cope
>>7726881Proko interviewed Steve Huston after this incident and in that interview Steve was essentially roasting artists who were stuck and limited in their lane. Poor Proko sat there thinking is this motherfucker referencing the incident?Funny as fuck.
>>7754097Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJE1HoHabMw
>>7727688>AI slopno thank you. I take the shitty original over this souless polished turd anytime
Somehow I lose all balance I have when drawing...tracing, studying images, wht do I do? What's something more effective for Betty Edwards... Wait she don't either.
Damn she may even outlive Vilppu. Is she a vampire?
beg trap. just draw
>>7754169Man this why Loomis die early. You end up calling him dumb and twat and not ever solve a single thing but your dad's phone book numbers. Which is kinda impressive, so .. I guess that's why the Canadian brain splattered.
>>7754144what is your question?M.C Escher measured everything, everything. Try that.
>>7754247Understanding form? I,I onno man. Just trying to have fun. Or toys... Or whatever. I mean, "there's already dinklage. Why do you need anyone thr- ow wow there's , where are those mofos from, why is no one telin me do I look like a goddamn-"There's no good argument at this point... I mean I mean, it's a family friendly show. And... Well, what did the commie say again. Challenge accepted?
Man. Reflection. Refraction. Translucency. Please. Rgb1 * rgb2... And then what. So many light bounce inside the object. Infinity. Saga. Oh great.

It's been a while, come play with me! Starting at half past the hour, or if the lobby fills up. https://garticphone.com/en/?c=00e363f826
>>7753577p*do
Just woke up, let's try another one, same deal. Half past the hour or when it fills up. Come draw! https://garticphone.com/en/?c=01c1e73878
itt post art that you like
>>7749479
>>7753890
>wake up>instead of scrolling, immediately start drawing>work on my wips >feel much better today than I do on most other daysWithout doomscrolling, I can go anywhere I want. Stop scrolling and start drawing.
>>7751838How did you overcome your procrastinating habits?
look at this normalfag with his clear head after restful sleep. Aww how sweet.
>>7752457I’m a phonefag, so the night before I just put my phone someplace I can’t reach, pop some melatonin candy, and wake up the following morning, making sure I draw on Paint Tool Sai first thing when I awaken.
>>7752275How much caffeine do you drink?
>>7753755I drink a cup in the morning of shitty instant coffee that gives me a headache
I have 0 experience in drawing and want to learn how to draw to make a porn game, if I download a ton of porn games and copy every single drawing from them every day will I eventually learn?
>>7753493pp hard
>>7753612euchronoxisters... not like this...
>>7749685Does sunlight really work that much? Im taking some now and i feel like a lizard getting warm on a rock, feels good.
>>7749604unironically porn games have very little porn in them
>>7753778Yes. This rain every day is driving me insane rn. People don't give it much thought because it's hard to quantify these things and we tend to forget how we felt a few days ago vs now. A depressed person will find that their bad mood will completely disappear after sunlight + exercise, that's why I even suggested a jump rope, that way those who don't leave their house can at least do an excellent cardio. Of course you can only do so much with sun and exercise when you do stuff like stare at a screen too long, eat too much candy, smoke and so on
