>>7133690What if I told you to just draw/paint. You wouldn't believe me would you. See, therein lies your problem because you just won't do it.
>>7133690>nothing on rendering from imaginationapart from the thousands of books you mentioned prior
>>7133690Why would there be books on how to paint from imagination? How the fuck would you actually teach that? You can't. The point is to learn the art fundamentals from>thousands of drawing books on construction>thousands of drawing books on anatomy>thousands of drawing books on perspective>thousands of painting books on how to paint from life Then to start creating art from imagination based on those fundamentals. Basically, you're asking us how to use your OWN IMAGINATION like a retard.

>>7133690>TELL ME HOW TO PAINT FROM IMAGINATION
>>7133721I swear everybody has this book on their shelf but nobody actually reads it.
time to make a render study general /rsg/, its been LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG overdue.
>>7133757even better rendering and painting general /rpg/
>>7133759nice name. let's do it
>>7133690To render well all you really need to know is how light and color work. It's arguably much simpler to understand than everything else; the hard part is applying it well with the tools you have. But even than that's more of a matter of execution, not knowledge, so that's a struggle that pretty much anybody can overcome. Also picrel is pretty popular, dunno how you couldn't find it.
>>7133766this one's pretty good too
>>7133690Draw from a reference first Then draw that same thing without any refIt's that simple ;)
>>7133690Just draw what you feel
>>7133690Do you not have a brain or something?
>>7133732I bought it because I thought it might have more stuff that I didn't already know from reading Gurneys blog for years. It didn't, but I like the book.
>>7133690why do you think anyone is here? What do you think the purpose of learning to draw is?
>>7133690>>nothing on rendering from imaginationthis shit is optional. most artist back then literally have their reference right in front of them. they have an entire stage alongside actors posing with their most dramatic facial expression and figure, sometimes being tied for hours in that same stiff position.
>>7133690Ron Tiner's "Drawing without a Model" would be one, no? He also wrote another called "Drawing from your imagination". Also the guy who did Keys to Drawing, Bert Dodson, also has a book dedicated entirely to doing imaginative drawing called "Keys to Drawing with Imagination".So that's three just off the top of my head.
>>7133899Ron Tiner book looks horrible, anon. Don't just recommend books you found on google, without actually going through them yourself.
>>7133690>Thousands of books on how to cook steak>Thousands of books on how to bake potatoes>Nothing on cooking steak with potatoesLiterally just apply what you learned from those with your own ideas, I'm sure even (you) can come up with some shit and try to do it from memory.
>>7133910Have you gone through it though?You can't just rate it based on the cover alone
>>7133910I decided to flip through it again to remind myself of how good it is. If you have no taste, fine, Tiner can be my little secret.
>>7133690>thousands of resources>no work to showso how many pieces have you made? you might want to actually start making things in order to *ahem* work that part/those parts of your brain...Steamboat Willie/Mickey Mouse wasn't made from just one drawing. As primitive as he seems from 100 years ago, I'm pretty sure Walt was drawing other things first. Same with Yoko Taro
>>7133690>Access to a bunch of resources.>Doesn't use them and instead cries about there not being a book on something that the ones you already have end up teaching you about.Man, if that doesnt define /ic/ then I don't know what does.
I think the words of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres put it best. "To draw does not simply mean to reproduce contours; the drawing does not simply consist in the idea: the drawing is even the expression, the interior form, the plan, the model. Look what remains after that! The drawing is three fourths and a half of what constitutes painting. If I had to put a sign over my door to the atelier, I would write: School of drawing, and I'm certain that I would create painters."
>>7137757>Jean-Auguste-Dominique/beg/ tier, NGMI
All the things you can do with drawing you can do with paint.
>>7133690Literally "How to Render" by Scott Robertson
>>7133695Based chumbud
>>7138023bad book. It teaches you how to render primitive forms, and nothing else. Nothing on how to paint landscapes or figures.
When you do it a lot your brain starts to fill in the blanks itself when you paint from imagination. You have to do a lot of studies for that though. Or just use references
