Is stained glass art considered /trad/? I just made the head to my touhou stained glass project. This is my first large project, so I think it came out okay. I'm currently trying to figure out how to do the face details, I'm really nervous of fucking it up.
>>8035962>>8035973Go away schizo.
watercolor sketches
>>8035976>Is stained glass art considered /trad/?You have posted itt already, haven't you?
>>8035976you were already here and gotten a good response, stop fishing like a woman
>>8035979This is a totally new head! I really hated the old head, so I used the long weekend to make a new one. A much better improvement imo
>>8035986Yeah, looking good.
>>8035959inaccurate ass face.
>>8035994What you mean?It's not naturalistic, looks pretty much like a modern semi-realism anime face. Looks cute, but i would prefer a more natural face as well.
>>8035979>>8035982Woah woah, I posted the in progress photo 1 time over 1 year ago, it's been a long time, I don't ever see any other stained glass art posted. I just wanted to share what I made the other day
Sketching with markers is relaxing
>>8035998I mean't not particular that one, but in general.
>>8035998nigga, you know it belongs in the thread because everyone told you to keep posting last time, don't pretend you're not sure
>>8035994>noticing the facegay and ngmi
>>8036008Gotcha. My bad. Should've just posted. I didn't realize it's the same exact people. I don't mean that sarcastically I feel like a lot of other threads are more dynamic with the people, like I said I just posted it one time over a year ago
>>8036000>makes you go blind
>>8036036> crinkled paper> uneven lighting with obtrusive glare in the bottom left> no hands and feetWhy do you expect us to care about your work if you yourself don't even care about it?good on you for not being a nodraw, but make a little bit of an effort, anon.
>>8036036go to /beg/
Why do people like his drawings? They look like shit imo.
>>8036065that's exactly why
>>8036065It’s a french thing. You’re not gay enough to get it
>>8036077But french also made good drawings
>>8035959
what is some decent cheap watercolor paper? sorry if it's been asked before
>>8035959lol homunculus.whaddya think? camera lucida user or just not very good?
>>8036065if you dont like matisse, you may as well stop calling yourself an artist.go embrace your artless copying, technician.
>>8036571you can get rolls of baohong for like 20 euros a piece if you game the credit on temu
>>8036580pyw
>>8036629post your fucking eyes retard look at it
>>8036650kek
>>8036571Either you try cheap papers yourself to see if you like them.The cheapest option I went for was buying big sheets of 100% cotton paper and cutting it myself into smaller bits.
>>8036582I said I didnt like his drawings. Are you some retarded fanboy that insists you have to like every single thing an artist has made?
>>8036884and how many drawings of his do you know?how many paitinings?how many relationships between his work and recent work?you said the drawings look like shitfuck you you lying cunt
matisse more like merde shit ahahahahhaa
>>8036897the entire world of art sees thisand we think you are shitjust so you know
>we pyw artboy
>>8036901kek youre such a dumb cunt>omg cant you

>>8036909i am so afraid
>>8036913of your bad taste?as should be
>>8035959OMG HER BIG ASS HEAD but i cant see it because im committed to trad shit
/beg/ here, a month ago I ground up some red rocks from the beach (probably just clay bricks) in an effort to make red ochre, posted about it here, and haven't tried anything with it until today. Behold my first time using charcoal pencils, my first time drawing on wood, my first time making egg tempera paint, my first time using a paintbrush since elementary school, a lot of firsts today but it was a lot of fun. The neolithic artist at Catalhoyuk whose vulture art I was copying has totally shown me up (but his canvas was a whole wall). I need to figure out how to reliably make fine lines. At the end I realized I could make finer lines by using the chopstick I mixed the paint with, but of course you run out of paint immediately in the stroke when you do that.My poor oc's neck is broken /blogpost
>>8037564Not paying the art material scamers - based.Neolitic stick human figures - SOVLHaving an anime oc - cringe.Overall you’re good, keep going.
>>8037581Well, two out of three isn't too bad!I was in a hurry to finally start, but once I have more time I'm gonna figure out how to make charcoal (or rather how to legally start a fire around here)
>>8036000This is neat anonDid you sketch a base in pencil first or just go straight in with markers?I have no idea how people can draw a decent looking face without doing a basic loomis >>8037564Post your oc in the oc thread plz thx
Drew best girl on my computer
>>8037863you know up can just say no to sex, right? you don't need to go to such lengths to prevent it
>>8036000I like, what type of marker?
>>8037564Not bad for firsts!Have you thought about burning/toasting the clay(?) to see if you can get something like a Burnt Sienna or Burnt Umber?>>8037863Sovl. I prefer most of colors you chose over the figures. Tho....>>8037930I'd be more concerned with the pony sticker than anything else. Like, I post in this shit hole, and I'd never publicly say I come here.>>8037801Trad OC art is trad. Besides at least he's posting art.
>>8037863I forgot about that edgy rabbit>>8037930kek

>>8038367>How do I escape from this hellGetting beter?
>>8038055The oc request was so i could draw them :3
>>8038367it's the opposite for me, I often look at what I thought was trash and think it looks kinda good
>>8038399Obviously. But I also want to make something im happy with, it doesnt have to be perfect.
>>8038055Thank you! I was considering that, it's not possible in my current time constraints but I'd like to get something closer to the blood red they could get. Especially since the vulture is a symbol of death, like an angel>>8038422I also thought you were insulting me lolThe OC thread doesn't look quite as cancer as I was expecting, I'll put together a proper character sheet at some point. It'll need to explain a lot of the setting though
Workin on this any tips bruhs
Is the pantheon sinking?
no and its a cabin the reason i made it is i fucked perspective cause i wanted to make itg facing that direction
what the fuck are you niggers even talking about, a pantheon is a collection of gods, are you worthless niggers confusing it with the parthenon?
>>8035976Holy shit I remember seeing your stained glass project in the Secret Santa /a/ thread, it is so lovely! Did you follow a tutorial to make it?
I was confusing it with the pantheon in rome.
HAHAHAHAHA its no reply guyNO YOUS FOR YOUSlol get a life>doesnt know what the pantheon looks like>>8039369doesnt even know the pantheon exists
pyw nodraw
im not a nodraw your a nodraw you pyw
>>8039409>im not a nodrawproofs?
pyw
>>8039380Oh is there really that much crossover between boards? I'm surprised how much people seem to remember these since I've really only posted them a scarce few times. I made the template myself. Honestly I'm still an amateur. I like using the black patina because my soldering looks horrid. I plan to make another stained glass piece this year too, especially since handmade-only tier is finally a thing!
>>8039425>I like using the black patina because my soldering looks horrid.You using lead, or something less toxic?
>>8039425did you not do anything in a year? you keep reposting the same thing from a year ago
>>8039440Honestly it's not the lead that's toxic but the fumes from the flux. Shits real bad for you. The lead itself is mostly benign. If it's shit people are going to handle I've accumilated a few odd spools of lead-free solder used by plumbers from yardsales and shit. But for a big panel thing regular 60:40 or 50:50 is fine. >>8039445blogYeah you hit the nail on the head. I moved out of state for work and left all my stuff back home It's like a dozen milk crates with different glass and grinders/diamond saws. I visited this past weekend for labor day and it was one of those lottery-type days where I was both motivated enough and had the free time. I tried to bring my stuff with me to my apartment, but the tools are so fuckin loud so they sat. I want to try and get into actual stained glass painting using vitreous paints too, but those require a kiln and drying time between layers, and since I have only a limited time when I drive back home, I cant justify it./blog
>>8039467sucks, but you can focus on the design with a couple of markers and a pen, you'd probably advance faster than actually cutting glass anyway
>>8039496I have been working on other things, but nothing that's in any state of posting about. It's just the Youmu was in a decent-to-look-at state with the head I did the other day. But this one is still miles from being done.
>>8039516that's what I mean, the head is really long, the hair makes her face look sloped like a dog snout, the ears are lopsided and I'm not sure if the bare shoulder needs to be cut more or what, but her trap is literally connecting to her jawthese are all things you could've sorted out before touching glasslike the glass cutting part isn't gonna make or break the vitrage, design is your weak point
holy fuck, we need brian back
>>8035959this image is just torture
I've painted all over a wooden board. This boy and his older sister are watching the distant sacred hill, where vultures come to guide the recently deceased to the heavens. I need to figure out what a loincloth looks like in sitting positions...The nail art brush I bought worked out way better for fine coloring than the paintbrushes I was using before. I did mess up pretty often, like on the girl's shoulder markings, the vulture's wings etc etc. I felt like I was working with and against surface tension of the paint droplets.The charcoal pencil didn't mark this smooth wooden surface nearly as easily as it did the cheap wooden plank I used as scratch paper. And the egg tempera paint (or the nail art brush not sure which) marked the smoothed surface very easily, but not the rougher sides of the plank. The little bit of chalk I used worked fine on the smooth surface. I wonder if charcoal pencils are realistic if I want to keep painting blocks like this. It was fun though /blog
>>8040913Sounds like you had fun with this one! Honestly a bit jealous you're having fun in such an unfocused, innocent way. I've kinda turned art into a chore being a perfectionist autist, and I'm not even great at it.I'd ask around the reference pics thread specifically for loincloth refs. Pretty niche so I doubt there are many. You could also try looking at stills of Chel from the film Road to El Dorado and see if there's one of her in the position you need. Could also browse https://www.female-anatomy-for-artist.com/If charcoal ain't sticking, but you want to use nicer wood, could try sanding with large grain to give the wood tooth. Then go over with your paints. Speaking on the surface tension issue, which of the paints were you having issues with, and is your DIY ochre also an egg tempera? If your ochre is just watered down clay AND you were painting that on top of the white egg tempera, I assume your troubles stem from the egg tempera being hydrophobic (I am assuming an egg yolk is full of fats).Anyhow, you make comfy, wholesome work. Don't forget to add your OC to the OC thread for the other asshole.
>>8035978Beautiful, anon.
Is "urban sketching" an actual respected art genre or is it just a singaporian / women meme?
>>8039260Your anatomy offYour perspective offYour lighting off
>>8041917>Is "urban sketching" an actual respected art genreIs anything?Also no, it’s a hobby, sketching is literally in the name. That said, it being a hobby means it’s accessible and probably has a bigger audience than most if not all other genres in trad.
>>8041816Thanks! I'm a perfectionist autist about playing my cello, so this is my way of escaping that. My clear goal is that I'd like to sell something at a doujin convention (maybe a little comic, maybe wooden blocks?) before I leave Japan, but it's not nearly as high stakes as my music...The DIY ochre is the egg tempera. Actually the white is just classroom chalk applied directly and smudged. If I apply a fixative for the charcoal, would it fix the chalk as well? And how would it affect the paint, I wonder.I've got a long weekend coming up so I can put together a little OC character sheet soon, and maybe watch Road to El Dorado while I'm at it. Thanks for the advice and kind words! I'm definitely using sandpaper if I have an issue like that again.
favela anon heresold my first painting this month (to someone not friends or family, so buying it just on the merit of the work)meanwhile you trannies are spamming "pyw" at people who will never make a dime off artbrian shits down the throat of the LARPers here, glad he left this shitholemy tip if you want to make it is to never post here, or only a couple times a month. i only check in to see how the mental asylum is going and do my weekly voluntary charity work looking after the mentally disabledthis is the island of misfit toys for non digital artists. even reddit is less deluded at this point. it's art therapy for sperge porn addicts. anyway later, got to make more money.
literally who lol
>>8042001>Is anything?Surely landscapes are still respectable....
>>8041929Nta but I don't like how you're telling anon that something is off without giving any further explanation.If you're going to give criticism then you must show the reasoning behind your criticism dumbass.
>>8043210IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT
>>8043226agreed, it needs to stay over there
>>8036065Idk I like it. Sometimes less is more. It’s very dreamy. >>8035978I fuck with these, who is this though?>>8035976I don’t know actually but this turned out really nice
He withold the price, so you know it's low. Grim.
>>8043405250. it worked out to about $35 an hour
a lot of you are probably wondering why i still come here, seeing as i never post my work and don't even give feedback to you "people" anymore.well, it's extremely simple, actually. i come here to gloat. i enjoy anonymously posting attacks against the pathetic "artists" here with no way for it to ever come back on me. i enjoy mocking the trannies here, whose next course of action will invariably be to state that $250 isn't good money for a painting because they need to earn at least $100k to pay for their bottom surgerygood luck accomplishing anything of artistic worth with that attitudethis all reminds me of that fag hudson river school buttbuddy worshipper from about 10 threads ago. he was obsessed with thomas cole and wanted to fellate him as the best landscape painter ever, while never actually painting anything himself. people like that are destined to never make any money off art.most people here - almost all of you - will never pass the most important hurdle which is getting just good enough that someone who isn't related to you or knows you personally is willing to pay a couple hundred bucks for your shitty art. that's ok though, different people like different things and are good at different things. me and brian are men of action who conquer the art world and the german himmler poster is a fag who conquers older men in bed, for example. but most of you are just porn addicts who screetch about muh favela and don't ever paint. that's ok, you're just lesser beings. nothing wrong with thatmaybe a couple of you will finally realize you need to actually paint pictures (oil paintings, not paintings made of fecal shit matter) that appeal to someone on a higher level than >>8039684 it's not likely, but one or two of you might stop masturbating and reach that level in the next 5 years before AI replaces new human painters and the ladder is permanently pulled up. if that happens, you will join the pantheon of /trad/ greats with me and brian. unlikely tho
>>8043986that looks really nice as image if I ignore the obvious, but even on a screen it looks like ugly chalky diarrhea, you can't contrast the transparent sky with everything chalky under iteither work with gouache on the entire image and use actual high tinging strength opaque color that can counteract the white or learn to paint transparently
>>8043986Are you the guy from a while ago that insisted cotton paper was making his colors dull and muddy when everyone could see you were raping the paint with white?
>>8043986your drawing is finethere are many directions you could goignore the haters, as they are just bitches with their own hang ups.really artists see the good all around them.
>>8043905Good for you selling your first painting. Stay humble.
>>8043905I've sold 12 paintings so far this year, and they average around 200 euros each.It's not big money but it's a start.The thing is, doubt AI will replace me, I sell paintings to people directly, I tell them a story about the painting, how it came to be, I give them a finished product ready to go on the wall, people often don't even see the painting anymore, sell them the experience I had when painting it and people absolutely love that.Anyway, I am not worried, I already sold more than I expected, I will raise my prices a little bit next year and start some more ambitious works.
Study, not done yet. This is on the largest sketch paper i could buy at hobby lobby.
>>8043905>work: not posted
>>8044416He is still made for that one pyw he got
>>8043986I really like this
>>8043986How much to buy this
any anon got some advice on what charcoal to buy/quality levels?I got some compressed charcoal to mess with and enjoying it a lot but im not sure what the common issues with quality areone thing im noticing is the cheap stuff i have leaves some hard lines even with the soft bricksmight just be a skill issue, im completely freehanding stuff and have no clue what im doing but its fun
>>8044464I prefer natural charcoal.
>>8044468prefer fucking all of it dude
>>8044478What?
>>8044468from what ive seen a full set is something like vine charcoal, block charcoal, and charcoal pencils, not sure what else i would needwhat do you do for eraser? I have some regular rubber erasers but its hard to erase the block charcoal
>>8044478fucking carbmantled that goypedo
>>8044487
>>8044486Natural charcoal can be erased with a finger or a paper towel. For detail i use mono pen eraser.I do most of the drawing with black pan pastel, vine charcoal and nitram. At the end i use pressed charcoal and white charcoal.Well i haven't used it in a while now, last time a had a phase where i was drawing a lot with dry mediums i actually switched to sanguine conte.
>>8044394We need to find another use case for paintings. Putting them in the wall is too limited. It's like people have only a certain amount of walls and they dont particularly like putting stuff on them. I personally don't know if I would ever buy a painting and I'm an artist myself. But what other use case can they have? I don't think they can have any other, besides maybe being rare objects for collection, maybe you keep them in your basement or in a painting room, very strange that would be. I feel dehumanized that my "art" is some object of decoration. But I would also feel disgusted like it's overly personal if it'd be something more grandiose like a philosophical or hyper artistic statement. I'm not sure how to explain it. I'm not sure what role they should play or what I'd be satisfying by them playing as a role. What do you think?
>>8044538People should just reward us for spending time making something cool and then burn them without telling us. Some kind of rite where the act of making something cool is rewarded but then the object itself is destroyed as it serves no new purpose.
>>8044542I see where you're coming from but some nigga burning my painting would make me sad.
>>8043986Why did anon give so much attention to this small piece? It's not even a study just a little picture for paint swatches. I'm flattered, of course, but comment more on other anons' full-fledged works, they're waiting for it.
>>8044394ur already ahead of virtually everyone here assuming those sales are organic to strangers (not mom and dad or grandma's friends)keep going you have me and brians blessing>>8044416only paying customers get to see my fine art>>8044262thanks
>>8041917it's not but it can be fun if you're talking about the meetups. it's mostly people just trying to make connections for le industry meme job. for some reason they have the same look, like they all studied at idk art center in california or something. they use meme pens (asians love pens for some reason) and watercolor (womanly medium). drawing outside in itself isn't bad of course, but whenever someone forms a group around something it tends to morph into a more defined identity even if they use a general term. despite these they can open you up to some cool local spots. they also meet up at whatever local eatery since it's more centered around socializing. personally though i prefer to draw if i go to a place, and i have less to gain from making connections with industry aspirants than most that go.i met some of them by accident while i was out drawing by myself and tagged along for some meetups afterwards.
>>8044894>womanly mediumThat's oil. Also the retard medium.
>>8044542Maybe get into music or performative art, then you don't have a "thing" and the act of doing is all that matters.
Why don't you paint small?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9P5XUmnqKE
FinishedI haven't done a study like this in a long time and I felt like I was waffling. I can't render digitally at all but I feel like I still don't know how to gently shade on paper. Plus my proportions are still off but I know what I Should be doing to stay more accurate. Any crit at all would be appreciated because I would like to make another very soon but I don't want to make the accuracy so-so again.
>>8044618I don't really sell to family. Usually when I finish a painting I just hang it in my parents house so they get to enjoy the bulk of my work and after a while I replace it and take stuff to the market.The market is great because it attracts a lot of tourists and art lovers in general. Being able to meet people face to face is a great way to also explain the story of the work and tourists tend to like that. So yeah, all my recent painting sales have gone to market goers. Except one that was my neighbour insisted upon. But having original work is a selling point, people pick up on that and sometimes people tell me that they think it's great that I am not even selling prints.
It's been a good few months since I've been able to do any painting. I'm just doing these sketches for now in oil with one brush to get back into it. No references or anything; just drawing figures from memory.I forgot how nice it is to tease the figure out with a line brush
>>8045258ahh another Barg dude in the wild!!its a nice drawing.you nose looks a little tilted, the ears are a bit more vague than they should be, the perspective on the disc is a tad weird. the left hand is a touch suspicious, the right hand is a tad strangely distended that doesnt conform to any foreshortening, he has no ass, and no feetpostive overall. well done.

>>8048420Ask him to post his work
>>8048420It's not shitty, it points out precisely where the most pressing issue with this person's work lies. He does not apply his self-proclaimed knowledge of primitives to draw his figures, rendering his shapes completely flat. He also does not portray to have knowledge of very basic shit like convincing proportions, for which he should get reference. Critiquing specifics only has a point when the artist already shows a decent understanding of the principles to draw a convincing figure which this artist doesn't in the slightest. You don't build a house on top of loose sand. NIGGER.

>>8047936I tried adding more "depth" in this one. It started to work out but the amount of shit on the canvas made it feel too busy. Apart from the obvious mistakes, I'm a bit disappointed with how big the ass came out and how thick the lines are on the panties and the spine; it's more cartoony than I intended and I'll need to pay attention to the color for the initial linework more in the next one. I 'm a bit miffed that I accidentally put a full brush on the figure by accident but hey shit happens.Separate question: why do people responding tend to pretend that the person posting thinks his drawing is a masterpiece? That's a really fucking stupid thing to assume and I dont know why I constantly see it here. Is it the concentration of Indian newfags?

>>8049429plan out your palette and contrast colors where appropriateThis is worth a quick watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDOLo_LgOlc
>>8049438Retard.
>>8049438That’s nor really an illustration, isn’t it?
Whatever punjab is shitting up the thread I will pay you five dollars to turn off your LLM
>>8049438retard
God, this thread gets more useless and retarded over time.
I can imagine even having fun learning water color, but god do i don't want to spend money on paper.I spend thousands of pooreus on some shit over the years, but buying paper feels always like a scam.I use canon copy paper 99%. Its pretty shitty, but it costs under 3-4e for 500 sheets.
>>8049459a lot of posters have a pretty shitty character and suck to interact with.
>>8049466That's okay, as long as they have something coherent to say, which is lacking a lot lately.
>>8048980Turns out that image was a fluke and you are genuinely shit
>>8049469You bullied the good posters and they left
>>8049469No.FUck that shit
>>8048749this is a fine medium. don't listen to bullshit anons who just want to shit on you in a vague and snide way.
>>8049466this is all of society these days :(
you can tell he's absolutely devastated by the state of his art and lashing out his betters to stave off suicide for another day
>>8049500I said he is good, but it's a medium for gays, femoids and children. That's a fact.
>>8049518pyw tranny
>>8049523>pyw tranny
>>8049518That's not oil tho
>>8049526>tranny can't bear to face the reality of xir workkeklove to see it
>>8049527Let me know if this sculptor has anything to say about marble or hammers, bro.
>>8049539>gets mogged for all eternity by someone who isn't even a painter>cries into his womanly mediumCouldn't be me.
>>8049539Mikey had the balls to paint hundreds of figures for all the world to see and admire, you can't even post on an anime imageboard without getting humiliated lellike all trannies, the rope calls to you
Crazy how every shitposter we get is a butthurt nodraw, you'd think they'd stop coming to the thread about an activity they're not doing and malding
You little snowflakes, okey, watercolors aren't exclusively for gays and femoids. Calm down.But i see the guy is trying to paint with watercolor like it's oil. I see him painting with oil and have more fun.
>>8049551You can't paint lil bro, stop pretending you know anything about painting, it's embarrassing.
>>8049551but maybe he doesn't think painting with oil like an effeminate jew is fun, ever think of that?
>>8049526>random watercolor jeet on fiverrvs>single most celebrated and lauded oil painter in historyzamn
>>8049565>>single most celebrated and lauded oil painter in history>vincent van faggot more like "the one everyone knows". Which is a shame because he's not even the best post-impressionist.
>>8049551You don't know how to paint and you don't know what "painting like oil" even means, esltard. Know your place.
>>8049575>posts heavily edited photo>can't even tell how heavily edited it is because he doesn't paint
What's a good way to learn watercolor fundis?
You are all repulsive fucking sissies, you dont even belong on this website.
>>8049527Wow, IMG_8105.jpg really took the wind out of my sails. I might as well just quit.>>8049549That's 80% of the entire fucking board. If the mods continue to ignore reports against people and obvious bots shitting up the place then they should nuke it because there's no point in being the one of three people in any thread who are actually painting if the rest of the thread is going to be filled with posts from Indians, Claude, and underagedb& who just found out about 4chan from some YouTube video and are desperate to become the new cracky-chan or whatever. It's like these teenagers flip between lashing out in the most effeminate, desperate ways possible and posting stale, shitty 20 year old references they hears about in a video essay.
>>8049551>hurr like oil durrnodraw nigger
after months of grinding, watercolor finally became fun, I am one step closer to making it>>8049621you may start by flipping through Color and Sketching in Rendering by Guptil
>>8049634That's not your art, you bazaar scammer.
>>8049654>Color and Sketching in Rendering by GuptilI liked his ink rendering book, i will look into it, thx
>>8049654By the way, do you paint from life? I hate that i have to wait until the wash dries, before the true color can be seen, makes color matching much more unpredictable.
>>8049668yes I'm painting from life, you can use hair dryer to speed up drying. Although I don't do much big washes besides initial fills, the rest are brushstrokes put in mosaic-like fashion, similar how painting in gouache is done
>>8049664does that mean something in whatever shithole you're from?
>>8049527he's not wrong you know, oil painting is fucking grim and terrible and i'm tired of trying to pretend it's not.
>>8049673You aren‘t an orientalist, aren‘t ya?
>>8049518shut the fuck up you faggot
>>8049763I have fun with oil, not sure whats so grim about it.
>>8049409>>8049416the trannitor warned me for that post lmao.
>>8050598Your use of hatching rocks
Colour test drawing a cathedral
Drew up a village for a Dark Sun game I will be running soon (AD&D 2e only.) What do you guys think? I was trying to mimic some of the stylings of the art in the book "windriders of the jagged cliffs" where they portray similar villages on the cliffs.
>>8050623Thanks anon!
>>8050624so its just some cathedral, huh Monet?
>>8050695I fucking wish maybe if I force myself to learn how lighting works
>>8050710If you shine light on an area it gets brighter
>>8050714Thank you pseudo jesus youve cured my aches
The first official portrait of King Frederik X of Denmark has created some buzz/controversy here (relatively speaking, for a painting). Some seem to think it's ugly and/or amateurish. Reportedly, the painting has been two years in the making.I'll lay my cards on the table and say that I think it's really bad, almost to the point of being /beg/. But I'd be curious to hear ic's verdict. Does it actually have soul and I'm just a technical-ability-cel? Pic related.
>>8050763he's an uncharismatic turd irl, the portrait can't not be uglythat said, it's probably a friend of the family that got a nice sum of people's tax money because fuck the goyim gon do
>>8050763the eyes are a mess, the nose a messyou can like the background or not thoas long as the painter isnt a stupid nazi, enjoy it
>>8050768he looks fine/normal to me in your pic? A competent portrait painter using only that pic as a ref could've come up with something decent, I'm sure.
>>8050763Oh god, it doesn't even look like oil, acrylics most likely.
>>8050763It’s incompetent as fuck. Even today there are a fuckload of wonderful portrait painters, why wasn’t one of them commissioned?
>>8050768>>8050769sorry, are these bots trained on pol data? what does nazis and goyim have to do with anything related to this?
>>8050771I just looked it up, and apparently it's oil.
>>8050775>omg why are my nazi posts an issue?shut the fuck up
>>8050777i just don't see how it's related to the topic at hand? Why add additional noise to your otherwise fine post?
>>8050774I unironically think there are people posting in these threads that could've done a better job.
>>8050781you really wanna go out about nazis?
>>8050770fuggo cope>>8050775>I'm le sorry are you le traineddenounce the talmud, tranny
>>8050763Tht's just sad. It's not even look at me im a artist, like Picasso. I mean Picasso is shit. But he is shit in a particualr way, at least.That's just aunt-has-no-kids-so-she-drinks-half-a-bottle-of-wine-and-paints-morgan-freeman-from-a-photo-tier shit.It's even worse than the satanic abomination of that old British fart that was hyped a couple of years ago.
>>8050793picasso is better than youdeal with it
Breaking in a new sketchbook with mugs. Used to like moleskine paper the best for sketching but this talens sketchbook isn't half bad either.
>>8050795Picasso's a jew too?
>>8050793>the satanic abomination of that old British fart that was hyped a couple of years agoqrd?
>>8050800
>>8050801right, I'd actually seen this before. At least there's some amount of technical ability behind this. As you point out, the Danish king's portrait is just pathetically bad.
>>8050787>should we deploy the /pol/ bot, sir?>no, wait, turn up the antagonism setting first
>oy vey the botim know
>>8050770>he looks fineIf he weren't a royal, he'd be a chudcel
>>8050763crown prince more like the down prince amirite
>>8050763Better than 99% of /trad/'s work.
>>8050953low bar though innit.not even sure I agree. There is better stuff in this thread alone
>>8035977Tell that to OP who is posting art by somebody that is clearly a pedophile foot fetishist.
A few recent pieces.
>>8054575
>>8054576
>>8054577This is surprisingly nostalgic for something so mundane. I like it a lot.
>>8054809shouldn't you finish the board before painting on it?
>>8054575reminds me of that death mask of the french girl
>>8054633Thanks!>>8054875Then I've done my job. It is her, but imagined how she might've looked to the people who found her drowned body and remarked on her beauty.
>>8054809Beautiful stuff >>8054577>>8054576>>8054575Very nice work, that candle feels so alive!
>>8054875how she can smile if it afterdeath, smile is work
>>8055075im not the one who pulled her out of the river and made the mold. dont ask me.
>>8055098the story smells fishy
>>8055101nice
>>8055075>Risus sardonicus or rictus grin is a highly characteristic, abnormal, sustained spasm of the facial muscles that appears to produce grinning. It may be caused by tetanus,[1][2] strychnine poisoning, or Wilson's disease, and has been reported after execution by hanging>In 2009, scientists at the University of Eastern Piedmont wrote that they had identified hemlock water-dropwort (Oenanthe crocata) as the plant historically responsible for producing the sardonic grin.[5][6] This plant is the most likely candidate for the "sardonic herb", which was a neurotoxic plant used perhaps for the ritual killing of elderly people in pre-Roman Nuragic Sardinia.[7]
>>8055120>killing of elderly people
Color blocking is nice. Ignore the thing on the left
>>8054812it is finished!
>>8055069thank you !!
>>8055758that's pretty shitty and undignified for "finished", m8, it looks like it was made from planks salvaged from an outhouse>>8055761the right one looks infinitely better, the shitter board one is begging for gesso and finish
>>8055468Nice, study?
What cameras do you guys use to digitize your trad art? Are smartphone cameras good enough now or should i get a DSLR or mirrorless camera? A smartphones small lens and sensor might distort, right?
>>8055468Very nice >>8055664Like the style but get more familiar with simplified anatomy
How do i test diy water colors?
>>8056306what are you even asking, nigger
>>8056306Grab some paper, brushes and water. Paint!
>>8056798I can rub away one of the paints from the paper with my finger, i guess the binder was too weak.
>>8057896Beautiful!
