>>8018665That might be. I have tried a bunch, and while a lot of other brands are completely fine, the pens (for the most part, I guess) on the wacom series are unbeaten. The newest tablet, the pro from 2025, is divisive indeed, but I like it. There's no reason to upgrade from a 2017 model. I'm highly sceptical on the quality of the newer screenless tablets released by other companies, but from what I've seen, XP-pen's screen tablets are just as good, if not better, than wacom's offerings. Apparently, there's a bit more lag on XP-pen's screenless tablets, which I can't speak for. I've a few of their screen tablet options, and I have nothing but praise for those. There were definitely a noticeable lag on the MK10 pro compared to other tablets I've tried, that's for sure.
>>7963251>chink tablets are on par or plainly superior to wacom at this pointmeds NOW
>>8018678read the prepend to that statement and take yours first, retard.
Help a retard out, please. Is there a point in keeping a protector on a screenless tablet?
>>8019066For most tablets, you can just buy a tempered glass plate and place on top over the tablet. You can get them in matte and smooth, and its honestly a fantastic experience either way. Depending on your tablet, you can even get it cut to size and prepared specifically for your tablet.If you want a cheaper option, using a acrylic sheet with a matte vinyl or vinyl chalk board sheet (the same but more texture and feels great) are both good options. Vinyl is on the softer side, so they will not last long, but your nips won't be eaten too fast, neither.For longevity, use tempered smooth glass, and for the best experience use tempered matte glass or matte acrylic sheet. Both are good, but glass is the best. They also cost the same as a screen protector, roughly speaking.
good books and materials to learn how to draw guro and horror like the masters?or is this a loli case where the only way to learn it is from some messed up illegal shit?
Eroguro is less about actual gore and more about using the human body in conjunction with literally anything else. You're better off studying mechanical stuff, all kinds of animals (the weirder the better), surreal artists etc
Also, read through all of Shintaro Kago's mangas to see how he created his weird worlds. It's usually by taking one idea and then just running with it. A lot of eroguro is absurd storytelling. Have fun with it! Go over the top and then go a bit further!
>>8017928Read books and watch horror movies. Then draw what you see in there
I study things that unnerve me, personally. proportions, shading, concepts like too many/few of something.It helps if you can find media that makes you feel sick, the less you want to draw it the better. even my normal, non horror drawings are now considered unnerving by many

>>8009431Cerebus and Bone are the reason I realized I’ll never be white. Literally what’s the appeal of these comics? I just don’t get it.
i just like messy paint
Why couldn't artists achieve this level of graphite rendering until very recently? You don't really see it even in 20th-century drawings.
>>8017037Because graphite wasn't invented prior to the 20th century.
>>8017087>>8017052i can't stand this train of thought. art doesn't need meaning, nor does it need to evoke an emotion. art is literally just making things exist, and there are multiple ways to do that. i enjoy precise, technically-minded, accurate depictions of fictional objects, people, and places. i like the idea of "what if this laser gun was a real thing? how would it work?" it's a matter of satiating curiosity. painterly brush strokes and soft shadows might look nice, but they don't capture the true form as well as photorealism does
>>8017926Manufacturing and reproductions. You're talking about manufacturing and reproductions, and maybe aesthetics. They can be nice, they can look pretty, but art is a language. That's why it's called a medium, and we use media as a term for everything art I put upon to communicate with. What you're describing is more closely linked to product design, blueprints and schematics.
This cannot fuckin be a real question lil bro. Please say sike.
>>8017926He didn't even speak about meaning or emotion. It's more about not trying to xerox something and to instead capture essence and to have a pinch of style.
Literally all drawing is symbol drawing. Good artists just swap out their bullshit made-up symbols with refined symbols>realismReplace made-up symbols with realistic symbols>animeReplace made-up symbols with anime symbols>KJG larpersDraw good symbols from memoryYou only truly disengage symbol drawing when you need to learn new symbols.
>>8018226a thread died for this drivel. and not a single drawing posted. Sad. You lot disgust me.
>>8018281goated w/ sauce mayhaps
>>8018279Bunch of useless threads are open these days anyway.
>>8018226nahhhh what you're doing is confusing the end result for the process. A beginner symbol draws. An advanced artist has a high level spatial model within their mind and when they draw, they're essentially doing shorthand via symbols of those models. The end results look similar, but the way they came about it and the things happening in the brain are vastly different. If you were to scan the brain of a beginner vs a pro you'd see completely different regions lighting up.
Which way, western man?
>>8007956it's just some random rocks and shapes, the backgrounds aren't impressive at all, they're there just to fill space. which is fine, but it is what it is
>>8006809this is why comics should be black and white alsowould help for the aesthetic and also speed up the release schedules...keep colorists around for title pages and if its a big hit give the series a colored version sometime later
>>8006463Left is the better looking piece of art.I have a lot of criticism for western comic art, and in general I would choose right, but left is just a flat out good panel.
They both look fugly as shit?Do your eyes not work or do you just like rubbing them with Feces? >>8006568
both are goodi hate you people
am i racist or what
>>8011790i didn't knew either, that explains it
the mistake is trying to make them look appealing. It's not possible. If you instead lead the eye to focus on the unappealing anatomy (Nose, ears, eyes, lips, hair etc) then it might become easier.
Sounds like a blessing

The foid you're trying to draw is definitely a mutt. You should use photos of actual, pure Africans as reference.
I never use this board to sorry if theres already a thread for this but where can I get good references for canines? or is there any website with like a model editor, im trying to draw a wolf jumping and I cannot find a decent red to save my life
>>8017949You just have to be creative. Animal planet videos, movies about dogs, social media pages dedicated to dogs, photos of cops with K-9 units, veterinary websites, dog parks photos, etc. Canines are literally everywhere
you have a whole animal board and its archive to save from. albeit manually, its pretty good fornthe most part
>>8017949I cannot really help with reference images but as a reference source glen villpus drawing animals book is good for anything mammal. need a link?
>>8018265>need a link?yeah if you got it that would be helpfull >>8018255I didnt even think of that>>8017958thats what ive been trying to do, just look at random shit with dogs in it
>>8018270https://annas-archive.gl/md5/1dc3f57139f320cef79048d63bb55cf0is good book saar
Anatomy so bad that it pisses me off
>>8018014yes because this random nipponese illustrator found a highschool girl and put her on his bed in this position, overlaying forms on pictures he took, drawing folded 1000x times, he totally didnt just wing it, he knew the rules, and by god, he broke em all.
>>8017975Literally nothing, estrogen-brained people just get extremely angry when they see a woman who isn’t ugly, that’s all
>>8018019more likely he just contorted a shitty 3d model and traced over it
girls do not need anatomy
I remember many years ago, when I still consistently used 4chan, there was a thread in here with multiple resources, guides, etcI remember there was one specific one about coloring that was either about how to color using the Lab color space, or it was about how to color/paint non-destructively using the Lab color space.I also remember it was made by a great artist, and I think he was mildly famous? And he posted it on his deviantart. I know this isn't /wsr/, but since it is something so specific to this board, I figured here was the better place to ask.Could anyone point me to it please if it isn't too much to ask?

Anyone here done a fine arts degree? What was it like?
Fun but quite useless.
>>8011363i minored in art. college classes aren't really a good place to learn if you actually want instruction. every beginner figure drawing class i've taken was just communal live drawing sessions. it took about halfway into the semester for the professor to even go over anatomy. it's not a place for technically minded people.
>>8017782Is the atelier or a one-on-one mentorship with a skilled artist the only choice for the technically-minded
>>8011371I really miss that about getting my degree as well, though it was in BA in education, arts included, and the best part was drawing and making art together with others. Still, it didn't lead to any opportunities, since most of us either became teachers or jobless/got another degree in something with better job security. I chose higher education with a master's in information science, but that doesn't lead to many artistic opportunities, sadly. I don't really care about art as a job, I think it would kind of kill the fun of it, but I truly miss the gatherings with (sorta) likeminded people my age range 20 to 35. Lots of begs, but they were fun to hang out with. Our teachers were some of the most recognised and established artists in their fields, one being the daughter of a respectable painter and PhD level, while the other made art for royalty and sculptures for museums. They were extremely passionate and brilliant at their work, but were always very busy with their work, as they, of course, also were artists and teaching was a secondary job for the love of it, basically.There were some pretentiousness, one kept going on and on about being assaulted, and we were all pretty tired of hearing about it. Some kept boasting, while others were slightly unpleasant and demeaning. Still, roughly 80 percent of the class were pretty cool, but not really all that advanced. It was fun, but it didn't really lead to any skill improvement, as I was one of the best in my class... and I'm not that good to begin with, not even these days.
>>8017797from what i've learned about college art classes is that colleges are places for people who already know how to draw at mid-INT level and want help becoming ADV. even "beginner" classes for drawing still assume that you know about one-point and two-point perspective, the color wheel, and shape theory.i've been a BEG in multiple art classes. i always manage to get a 95% in the class while having the objectively worst skill in the class. instructors care more about engagement and enthusiasm than either ability or improvement.i'd say that the best thing that college classes give you is confidence, because there's literally no way to fuck up unless you're not trying. and you will learn fundamentals in the class, but the class is spread out over 18 weeks. you do most of your drawing at home before bringing it in to class for a 2-hour session. you don't really get more than a week or two until the next project. i'd say that free art refsheets you see on tumblr or deviantart posted for free will teach you more in-depth at a much quicker pace
What is the objectively worst art you still like?
>>8017822What do you think of Orphism?
I don't even like art. I just like porn and have nothing to do so I draw porn. Artists are usually faggots.
>>8011377i genuinely like the overwatch art style, especially gooner SFM videos made with overwatch stuff.i also hate overwatch as a game as being carried primarily by goonerslop and the fact that hero shooters killed RTS in the esports industry. starcraft was far better as a game and a setting
>objectively My own.I will not post any of it
>>8017825Can't say I know all art movements by heart, or that I'm too acquainted with that particular one (I'd just label it all abstract, honestly), but it looks nice from my quick look over.Though it also looks a little repetitive, with too many doing the same circular designs, based on what I'm seeing, though that could be people just stereotyping the movement and making cliche paintings copying the style.
