How can I get as good as him?
>>7998684Good? He couldn't even draw a shack in the wood, let alone the person in his paintings (his admission). Bob just got incredibly autistic about natural landscapes and how to draw them in less time as possible, that's it. Why would you get as "good" as him?
>>7998684He literally filmed hundreds of yours of instruction on how to paint exactly like him, retard.
>>7998684Drawing would help, for one
>>7998684If only he made hundreds of tutorials specifically about that
>>7998754Few artists can do everything. The dude liked natural landscapes, and that was his forte.Granted, I think that's probably the easiest thing to paint overall, with figures in man-made settings being the most difficult, but his paintings weren't bad.
>>7998858There's an argument to be made that he merely exploited the few most useful tricks in a way that avoided having to know any fundamentals, but you'd have to be a real pretty loser to argue that with any conviction. I think most people here would be happier learning a few techniques to easily pump out pretty nature scenes than succumbing to box autism while they dream of the glamorous life of a commission artist
>>7998684The key is to never watch any of his tutorials and post about him on 4chan instead, follow it up with 8 hours of videogames and fapping to hentai and you're set
>>7998979How come some people do this but somehow have the creativity of a 10 years old?
>>7998979Don’t forget about complaining about not having time to draw
>>7999020They just lack the second palmaris longus, no amount of fapping could save them
>>7998684Bob Ross unironically ruins thousands of potential artists and turns them away from painting. Hes so popular that for many, hes their only frame of reference for an artist. Then they get the idea that painting is all done from imagination. You just get a blank canvas and paint anything you can imagine! This is a TERRIBLE idea for a beginner - or any artist honestly. I speak from personal experience because I wasted like 15 years not painting because of it
I like bob ross's paintings, but as a beginner artist, I tried following his techniques, and they just never worked for me. Especially using a palette knife to paint mountains, or a fan brush to paint pine trees
>>7999032yes art is a craft not a performance
>>7999057art isn't a craft, thoughpainting minis is a craft, but it isn't artsinging is art, but it isn't a craftthat's why it's called "arts AND crafts" and not just one or the other
>>7999057>A craft is an activity such as weaving, carving, or pottery that involves making things skilfully with your hands>A craft involves skilled manual work in transforming materials into objects of cultural value.What he does is a craft, he produces an actual object with his hands. By contrast, digital "art" isn't a craft.
>>7999060Its obvious what he means and works perfectly for the context. Shut up retard. Stop autistically defining things
>>7999032lol retard. I only wasted 8 years
>>7999067>Stop autistically defining thingsyou're literally defending someone (You) autistically defining things (wrongly), thoughbeit
>>7999060there is an overlap and within the context of who i was replying to it makes perfect sense. what bob ross does it both an art and a craft, illustration for instance is both. "arts and crafts" is a meaningless expression. tomato tomato
>>7999073it's tomato
>>7999074its a doggy dog world
>>7999070Because bob ross is clearly a performance. The product is the show. Not the painting. Now - you could very wall call this Bob's craft. But within the context its clear that hes using "craft" as an opposition to a performance. You could replace craft with passion, or lifestyle or whatever stupid word. The sentiment is obvious. Bobs a performance meant to be watched. Not as an instructor of art as a craft
>>7999076I disagree that it's a performance, if anything, Bob uses and promotes art as a form of therapy, he shows the audience how to engage in a personal and introspective process, rather than the focus being on him doing a thingeither way, it's a craft by any definition
>>7999078it is a performance. teaching people to paint not based on references is always a bad idea. beginners need refs 99% of the time, his advice and technique is useless without understanding what you are even doing.
>>7999084it's not a performance and Loomis teaches drawing without a reference just fine, you just have low iq
>>7999087bait. loomis assumes you have an understanding of art already. his books are not for beginners.
>>7999078Wrong. It gives fat chicks a closet full of canvases and art supplies and a couple hideous attempts at paintings. They'll feel embarassed and quietly never mention painting again. When maybe they would love to paint if they actually learned how - in a non bullshit gimmick style. Kind of similar to Kim jung jew but at least he preached to draw everything all the time
>>7999089
>>7999094>booksfun with a pencil is one (1) of his books, and is intended for begs. where does bob ross show you the contours of a sphere or cube? how are these even similar? what is your argument? that you're retarded?
>>7999102holy esl
>>7999105again where does bob ross show you how to draw shapes? your argument is irrelevant and you brought up loomis out of nowhere. if you cant see the difference you are retarded. also his books are not for begs except for one, you are esl and its not my fault you misunderstood my argument. you should have specified fun with a pencil.
>>7999102his books literally take you from ZERO drawing experience to industry pipelines, so yes his BOOKS are in fact meant for beginners, because that's where they startarguing his BOOKS aren't meant for beginners because you skipped the first one is like saying the Harry Potter books aren't for people unfamiliar with Harry Potter because you opened up the fifth one first, ie fucking retarded
>>7999106>where does bob ross show you how to draw shapesliterally in every episodein fact he repeats the instruction over and over like you ever heard it each time>inb4 esl doesn't understand what shape means
>>7999107>>7999110holy samefag
>>7999107>>7999110where does bob ross show you the contours of a sphere? post an example i'll wait
>>7999113holy cope, sorry you got btfo>>7999113>>7999117holy samefag
>>7999117>esl doesn't understand what shape meanscalled it
>>7999119show bob ross doing the contours of a sphere. come on, make your argument make sense. apples and fucking bowling balls. you are still retarded
>>7999123you lost, tranny
>>7999124ooh so you realize now your argument doesnt make sense? i was wrong on an irrelevant point, you are retarded.
>>7999127I accept your concession
>>7999129you are still wrong, why bring up loomis? do you think loomis' teaching style is in any way comparable to bob ross? are you retarded? can you tell the difference? me being incorrect on a minor point pales in comparison to your profound mental retardation.
>>7999130thank you
>>7999133no, thank you
>>7998684i hate his retarded afro so fucking much
>>7999140Fuck you
>how to paint like the how to paint like me manThanks for the giggle OP
>>7999140He did, too. It was all for showbiz.
>>7998974its about doing what you love and like. thats real talent. do what you want.
>>7998684Have soul
