the anime style because the one that the majority in ic immolates themselves to replicate is oversaturated, yes, oversaturated, so much so that while you try to make your attempts millions of Asian people do it better than you and still do not succeed, if being good drawers they fight to get a fucking scholarship at the art university both in China, as in South Korea and of course Japan, not only that, but now the AI is absorbing the entire industry and oversaturating the style and leaving millions of those Asians without work, so the question is what the fuck are you wasting your time on this ??? The American comic went through something similar in the 90s with the oversaturation of poorly drawn garbage printing and never recovered in fact to this day the American comic is a zombie and even worse, that shit of disgusting calarts was created that nobody wants to draw, but as a reflection, don't you deserve to create something better, something that leaves a mark on this world ????

I think his teaching method works for me, but I don't know what to draw after I finish my daily exercises, or how to apply them to personal work.

I feel like I have no creativity at all. Maybe I'm just depressed... but I still enjoy practicing

I can relate but I don't think I'm depressed. Even after years of drawing and improving I am not an ideafag so I do nothing with this skill aside from more studies that only I get to see.

its not a rex because i created it 14 years prior to vrchat ever being a thing. this would of been trendy in 2010. eat my ass if you think its a rex. speaking of rex since i am the original owner of this. this would make ME the creator of the rex. not the guy who 3d modeled it.

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.

AI-designed parts optimised for high strength and low weight have an organic look to them, with lots of irregular triangles, rounded edges, and holes. I'd take some inspiration from slime mold structures and insect anatomy. Unlikely the overall structure would be humanoid either

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.

2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.

3. It is recommended to let the thread reach 600 replies before starting a new one.

Always use references. ALWAYS.
It's not about tracing the reference; the point of a reference is to build with boxes, ovals, skeletons, or any method of constructing anatomy, and from there, create your character with the correct perspective and shape. Unless you were born with a photographic memory, I encourage you to use references.

You can just go to a drawthread on any board, spam the same request for 5 years until almost everyone doesn't fulfill it out of spite. You will eventually get someone to draw it for you even if it is low effort.

You steal it but give it your own spin, new characters, narrative, slightly different angle... (like many examples in cinema and tv shows). Or you grab extra references that go with the idea you wanted, then create something referencing them. Did you read steal like an artist? i assume yes by post title


thing is, don't pretend you invented the shot if you didn't or try to hide it. examples are "akira" shots, wihich are referenced a lot or used as a parody/homenage cause it's very well known. controversial example is perfect blue and requiem for a dream, initially gives no credit, in general doesn't feel derivative enough.


> TLDR: Copying is outright recreating an artist's work without their permission and claiming ownership.

How do you even make money as an SFW artist these days? No one commissions me no matter how hard I shill myself, and my portfolio covers portraits and character illustrations. I'm not even bad, am I genuinely left to rot after investing years into this shit?

You need to offer something people are willing to pay for. The hard truth is that people are more willing to pay for things that cater for their carnal needs than for things that are just lukewarm. Get spicy or stay poor.

you are genuinely retarded
if people do treat you like a child playing with toys, they are completely right

if you want any money quickly, go learn 3DS or blender and make visualizations for architectural firms

>But nobody in this day and age wants to pay for a portrait when they could just ask ChatGPT to make one from a selfie. Thats the grim reality of wanting to make money from art.
The same could be said about the art industry as a whole, and yet it still churns on. I don't think AI is the dreaded silver bullet so many of you weak willed bastards think it is, or more likely, like to advertise that it is.
>>
>>7730109
>Only portraits and character illustrations (no bg)
You're swimming in an ocean that's more fish than water, portraits and simple standing images are the most basic thing that a person can offer in the online world, everyone does them, including artists that do a lot more than just those things. You can't throw a rock without hitting an artist who will do those, you make a post on any platform with the word "commission" in it and you'll get a dozen replies instantly and a full quarter of those won't even be bots or scammers. If you can't do anything more than that (ie scenes, dynamic poses and/or angles, depictions of characters actively doing something instead of just posing, etc.) then you're left trying to get noticed in an oversaturated market where (unless you pw and prices to prove otherwise) 50% minimum of your competition is both objectively better than you (not even getting into stylistic appeal, just basic technical skill) and notably cheaper.
You either need to git stupid gud, develop a style and/or into a niche (niche is much harder with sfw) where things are less saturated, or expand your portfolio to less basic shit.

love the stylization very good appeal
i think u would benefit from making the value shifts in the sky less intense as well as maybe lightening the grass behind the character so that the color is distinctly different from the tail

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
