Do you guys ever feel like it's a chore to finish a drawing or a painting after an our or so spent on it? For me, as soon as i spend 30 minutes on the rendering stage, i just abandon the piece, straight up.It happens a lot when i'm painting, it's such a fucking chore to put all the brushstrokes and define the edges, values yada yada. BRO, i might be getting tired of rendering. I mean, why even do it anymore, i already know how to do it... I'd rather just draw and give it a fuckass basic shading. Idk, sorry. I didn't feel this when i was a beginner, i might be getting old.
just use AI
>>8042642My puter sucks, it can't run AI.
>>8042640do line drawings and skip the rendering theneverbeit. you could use some form/angles practice
>>8042643Use cloud services, crabs don't want people to know this but it's better than people realize. It just has a learning curve, but there are youtube tutorials for it
>>8042646can you upload an example of what the "crabs" dont want you to see?
>>8042644I'm actually experimenting with that. Shading with a pencil is definitely faster.
>>8042647
>>8042640I hate art, i'm going to sleep. Damn the person who invented it.
>>8042640Try drawing trad instead of fake ass digital
>>8042640> an OURThe absolute state of these illiterate TikTok zoomers, holy shit lmfao. I can totally get why you can't finish a drawing, brain dead npc.
you drop the most fun stuff? getting the dimensions and angles right is the harder part
>>8042640Yes, that is why I am a NGMI.
>>80426401 hour is a good time for a color studyfor original stuff I can go for 10-20 hours, an hour is barely enough to come up with something interesting ime
>>8042737I was drunk, don't be a bully. :(
>>8042668Honestly, i might.>>8042791The thing is i used to like it, whenever i learned something new i would feel euphoric. Now i just know things and i do it for the sake of doing it, i guess.>>8042807I prefer grayscale to color, but i do color studies once in forever, it's fun. It's hard, tho.
>>804264020 min. everything after that would be a refinementi don't normally paint
>>8042840
>>8042640are you 3dmodeling, rendering, then digitally drawing?
>>8042903Nope, so far i've only done paintings and drawings, but i wanna start 3d modelling soon.
I used to, but somehow I'm getting faster (without any specific training for that), and painting is becoming less and less cumbersome with that, I used to spend around 8 hours rendering a portrait, but this week I painted a portrait in one sitting of around 3 hours, and the results improved as well. >>8042841also, your light values are way too bright, specially the skull. You need darker midtones. Also, the highlights on the vase are also too bright (looks close to pure white) and the cast shadows are way too dark and desaturated (looks close to pure black), and there's no reflected light. That kills the illusion of depth.
>>8042640this is the /int/ curse. When you are good enough that you can draw most things you want to draw, then it stops being as fun. When starting out, everything is new and you are constantly learning and improving with each drawing, but when you are good at anatomy, you're just going through the motions and hoping the end result is going to be good. If its not, then you didn't really make a mistake, the idea was just not that good and you need to find a new angle to take the drawing which isn't written in any book or course. The only way to improve at this point is to be randomly inspired by God or something. You need to gain life experience to improve your art after learning the fundamentals.
>>8042929you are not that guy blud
>>8042933my words cut deep into you and you felt the need to respond, yet you refuted nothing. I suggest you take the truthnuke to heart and go draw.
>>8042936i already drew today and all i got in response to my efforts was some shitty porn and a wrist ache. i'll rate it a 99% chance you are not that good. post work and mog me to death come on
>>8042939I am not here to mog you, I am here to help. I only want to offer helpful advice that uplifts everyone.
>>8042942op would get a boost knowing a mighty int really did bless his thread with their presence
>>8042909For reference, I did a quick paintover of some things I might have done differently. I noticed you also didn't employ temperature shifts between light and shadow, didn't consider the subsurface scattering on the skull and it's planes are not well defined (which I didn't work on because it's a drawing issue and solving it would take too much time).
>>8042929This sounds more like the idiot-whose-drawings-suck-because-he-doesn't-plan-in-advance-and-doesn't-use-reference curseMore often than not the difference between the intermediate and the professional artist is that the intermediate artist seems to think he's Kim Jung Gi.
>>8042955>>8042929Guys, my point is i can paint or draw mostly anything now, but the process itself of finishing the piece feels like a chore because it's boring. I've done this shit a million times already.
>>8042946Forgot to reduce the opacity of the rug texture layer and to soften some edges to make it look more painterly
>>8042960and not one throwaway to post. many such cases
>>8042960sounds like you should find a different hobby
>>8042969Kiss me.>>8042970Yeah. LOL I wanna do sculptures.
>>8042971smooche <3 now we can sail off to the sunset and be no draws ever after
>>8042976Except i do draw, but i'm gonna agree with you so you don't feel bad.
>>8042980we all do =)
>>8042668Trad leads you naturally to finishing a piece whereas in digital you can be an infinite perfectionist nigger, constantly zooming in and moving things around.
>>8043014it also makes you commit better. erasers are fine and dandy, but paper also has useage marks, indentations of your pencil, scratches so you cant do too man mistakes and redraw sections as easy. if i misplace and angle an eyesocket to the point the person looks deformed, its not as easily fixed. especially if you notice it late. digitally you just lasso that nigga however you want. i see people constantly moving and spinning things in those digital time lapses.
>>8042966>>8042946>>8042909yeah yeah, your shadows don't go dark enough and the reflections are too bright. your study isn't accurate either, but if you get something out of it, that's good enough, ok?
>>8042966its not a rug its a book
