Start with Draw A Box
>>7843523I tried that, didn't work
>>7843520yeah but first kill some women first, these leeches need to go
Its true, talent is real, genes are real and iq is real.T. Talented
Is there really no reliable way of opening your mind's eye in order to be able to imagine something, and then draw it like you're looking at a reference in real life? I'm not talking about construction and sketching and erasing and adjusting etc until you find something you're satisfied with, but sharpening your imagination and being able to hold an image still in your mind for a long period of time
I have something that I can only explain as PicassomindI can see a face with perfect features and then they start to morph into simpler lines and geometry the more I hung up on the face
>>7823483this, every minute you spend with your tulpa friends, it increases, every minute you spend looking at your phone and drooling on yourself it decreases. If you have "aphantasia" you're just the equivalent of a 400 pound guy hearing about sprinting and thinking it's literally not possible for him.Or you don't have a human soul, probably both are possible.
>>7843921I don't have aphantasia, I can imagine things I just can't visualize them The easiest example would be drawing while looking at a reference vs drawing after only being allowed to study the referenceA ton of the top tier artists can see something and then conjure it up in their heads without effort, they can keep a consistent and accurate image in their mind and switch their "eyes" from that image to the paper so it's basically like drawing from referenceI can conjure up an image for maybe half a second before it disappears and it's almost never accurate, if I have to draw something from memory it means I'll have to learn the reference as a mnemonic in words >"oval head, three bangs one going to the left, left hair part makes a spear tip shape, eyes slightly further apart and tilted inward, long nose etc"Whereas a top tier artist can just bring back the image itself and "look" at that while drawing I can imagine animated 3D action in color, it's just not useful for my drawing in any way since it's all vague undefined shapes
>>7843938>A ton of the top tier artists can see something and then conjure it up in their heads without effort, they can keep a consistent and accurate image in their mind and switch their "eyes" from that image to the paper so it's basically like drawing from referenceI've never seen this. Often artists do a quick underdrawing and use their years of skills to build up/design what they want out of the underdrawing. The reason why they have to make the underdrawing (or sketch) super fast is because we can't hold on to an image long without it morphing on us due to any minuscule of input- like a misplaced brushstroke for example.
>>7823717Only sensible anon here. REFERENCES, retards, that's how you build your imagination muscles. You draw the human body from reference enough times, and eventually you'll be able to do it from nothing. You fucking morons
I really enjoy watching boomers creating art. There is something about them that the newer generations just cannot capture. I wonder if it is related to life experience and not chasing the algorithm as much as the zoomers content creators. I do wish they were more popular than some random guy doing some FNAF fanart and giving bad advices
>>7844018You can find him by searching for 鈴木 良治 画家 .Honestly pretty disappointing. His artwork looks anime-like, and his apple sucks.
A lot of you want to become big artists on social media yet are so complacent and stuck in your victim mindset and it’s actively contributing to your stagnation. There are artists, both big and small, trying to inform you about the steps you can be taking to legitimately improve your experience on social media and potentially grow a career, yet so many of you will find a million and one excuses to not have to move out of fear, ignorance, or ambivalence.Obviously there are people who have things going on in their lives that contribute to them not being able to give their all into their career paths, but the cohort of people that have gotten so used to not bettering their chances of success due to being inconsistent in their approach to posting and/or not knowing how business in social media works in relation to art would much rather sit behind their shields of nihilism, ignorance, and victimization instead of doing the work of being part of a community to promote each other and make sure we all have something to eat at the end of the day besides depression.Luck is an undeniably huge factor of building an online status as an artist, but consistency and quality is what will ultimately keep people around. Success is found through sacrifice, self reflection, and having faith in oneself to achieve their dreams, and community is built through everyone sacrificing a little bit of something for the common and greater good, those willing to put forth the effort and do the work will bear the fruits of the labor while those who stagnate and refuse to change their way of thinking will forever have seeds in a garden that will never grow.
>>7841913>>7841930Incels fantasy are always so hilariously anime. Nigger should society collapse weak losers like you will be immediately killed by the very men you though would empathize with your self-inflicted loserdom and throw you a few women to rape. I actuality there will be no collapse and you will continue to seethe about everyone having a sex life but you. Just start tucking in your tiny dick in now little faggot, I can see your women envy to hrt transition in your future.
>>7839609Just shut the fuck up and don't be a pussy and draw.
>>7842776ESL+ you are brown
art being tied to social media has been an absolute disaster.
>>7839616I'm learning art for game dev and I notice that people are so bad at hiding their power levels now. They treat it like a violation of their right to free speech that they can't post total nigger death under their full legal name and address with their face attached. The weird thing is 4chan is totally normified these days (KF is the new scary boogeyman site) so I don't know why nobody cares about anonymity.
i mean live courses. i want an active teacher and i have some cash saved up
So how did you get into art? I'll start: it's a bit embarrassing, but as a kid I used to eyeball random fanart I saw on deviantart for fun
>>7839521That's it.
>>7839768publish that shit brofuck this jeered captcha
>>7839750they haven't posted their works so take it with a grain of salt
>>7841942I had a webcomic once upon a time. This sample strip wasn't what I intended, but what I had time to do, a story that grew organically under my pen as I spent time in waiting rooms with too much time on my hands. It went away several years ago, but the dream still clings, still haunts, still flickers as a dim hope.
Assuming you got the necessary skills to pull it off, is there a market for trad paintings depicting the medieval era. I think that there is interest but when you consider how long it would take to setup and paint it that would elevate the price too much for most people interested in this kinda of painting. So now you are stuck with rich people and competing against modern art bs
>>7836374That is not as good as the OP's pic by quite a lot
>>7841118
>>7836362Is this an /ic/ meme? I keep seeing this painting lately, and it's really not very good at all.When the robot overlords ask me how many empty boxes there are, I will be ready.
>>7843411Either someone with a vendetta trying to pass as the original artist and taint his name or a real schizo

If you drawed today you can post at here. If you not drawed today you can not post on here. I drawed today. Here is my drawing I drawed

Why aren't you working with art therapy for autistic kids? Literally free money
>>7840301you need to be low /beg/ for that at least
>>7840301Because you need to be a real psychologist or some soccer mom is gonna tell on you.I already got a ludotherapy group killed like that and it was fucking free.
>>7840301There is this thing called time and it's a limited resource for one thing.
>>7840301Don't give the nonces at lsg any more ideas OP
I don’t like to use feces as a medium.

>>7840546I never stopped, even with all the aitrash it's better than the other aggregators that have like three fucking pictures each.
>>7842853Because artists don't buy art. And twitter is the only one of those that's not 99.9 artists shilling their shit to people who will never buy.
>>7840546havent seen a shill so pathticly unsubtle. Is this the best they could come up with?
>>7842643that hip area is a lesson in tangents
>>7841011The people adding these features are actually trying to save the companies by deplatforming this shit before the real backlash starts.AItards promised Skynet and all we have is a slightly stronger version of the 1998 deamscape vaporware. They can keep lying to their shareholders and the public about how powerful and beloved their tech is, but they can't lie to the money lenders when they come asking for their money back.

>>7843697That's cool, as long as you're not using them as a crutch I guess.
>>7844206I haven't even gotten anime adaptation offers, even /beg/s have that much at the bare minimum...
>>7845443That's pretty ambitious and I don't know that I'd recommend it if you don't have job experience but good luck
What's you opinion on sad endings /mmg/? I was considering to giving a tragic ending to my story. But after seeing my fav character get killed off at the ending of Gunslinger Girl, I decided I won't. Fuck that.

what kind of brush is this?
>>7841509Seconded. I need to know this so I can draw in this style
maybe one of these (they are all in vargasni brushes)
I believe he is just using a round brush with the kyle webster textured brushes, the default ones in paid photoshop basically.
>>7841509chalk brush, it isn't special.
>>7842147Maybe giving more details to the grass would help make this looks less like a doodle. Good work, though.
>>7842154>variable opacitywhat
>>7842160well it was more like i wanted yall to know the limitations i had going into this piece
>>7842233thanks, i did think i couldve done the grass a bit better but i also thought i could play it off as a child-like stylization of the grass because the characters featured are children
>>7842154this is true, there's layers toothough anything involving gradients doesnt seem to be possible yet
>A "hobby" where you suck dick for 1 000 hours at the start and never feel an ounce of dopamine
>>7841619The problem is learning how to learn something so abstract. Many artists have just been brute forcing muscle memory since they were children and don't actually know how to learn efficiently.Any person can understand how to grind rote memorization or problem solving, or less abstract muscle memory practice. This is way more difficult.
>>7835123D is not the same cube, the other 3 options are rotations of the cube on screen. I don't speak spic but the text says something to the tune of "what cube doesn't correspond to the figure below?"

You might be mentally ill or something. Healthy people can accept that they are not good in the beginning of acquiring a skill and can enjoy the small steps that lead them forward. You should probably talk about with someone.
>>7842275>Healthy people can accept that they are not good in the beginning of acquiring a skillHealthy people improve at some point in their careers, dumbfuck, that some people are "healthy" it doesn´t automatically mean everyone else must be "healthy"Arrogant piece of shit
