what happened to the old /ic/ iceberg? the one with "merc_finished" in it

>>7146294
this is the "Drawing" iceberg, a general iceberg for drawing and art, the /ic/ iceberg has other uses. although I could not find it.

I like not spending time on Art. It gives me an excuse. Imagine if I spent all day working on something and It's still shit. How will I cope then?

>>7146485
i do NOT coompost

when you aren't insecure about your shortcomings and enjoy the process of getting better, there's no need to cope

>>7146323
I appreciate it.
>>7146324
Idk what you're asking
>>7146445
/dad/ can be great if everyone actually fucking makes art... and posts their art. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you guys? 49 replies and I'm the only one who posted mine. This is why most of you are NGMI

>>7146504
If you want art -go to the site. This is an unnecessary thread dedicated to scizoposting

I don't

That sounds pretty childish OP. I feel that too.

I'm surprised JP hasn't said a thing on AI, especially ChatGPT, given his whole schtick on telling the truth and writing as a powerful tool to change the world. Seems like everything that he'd hate, but no, he's veered into right wing politics

>>7146166
He only ever talked about it in terms of how it's used to fuck with free speech and how it could very easily be repurposed into a watchman type entity for the cybersphere, which is true albeit a bit far fetched.

>>7146169
he's right, but I thought he'd be all over it, but he's barely touched it.

>>7146165
>Also reminds me of the Sam Hyde talk where he says that if you're doing anything non-standard you'll have to live like a bug to make it
Truth. Everyone else is hemorrhaging money to impress hot narcissists when they should be planning to survive the next ten years. Things are getting expensive. Soon it will cost 500k to even get a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home. The window is closing. Not closed yet, but getting smaller.

>>7146176
anon thats already the price of a 2bedroom in any 2nd tier city in the US

Why do you give away this secret pencil sharpening :'(

Anyway, 3nj0y Br0: https://lalaragimov.blogspot.com/2013/11/treatises.html

She has a few articles where she peek through those to understand specific issues, like how different authors viewed hatching.

It's good stuff anon, but it can be a distraction from actually practicing. Even if you don't have le secret sharpening technique, you can still control your values well and make master pieces.

Hey old art instruction books are my specialty!
This one from 17th century is one of my favourites. The text is in Italian, Dutch, French, and German, but it's mostly images.

Get it here:

This is awesome bro, exactly the type of thing I'm looking for. Strange to think how Bridgman may have come up with the format of his books based on these old 16th century books that he probably studied as a student at the Ecole

The right wing more then grifters it mostly have coalposters, while grifters are usually from the left, but many pretend to be anti woke just for clout and money, but then they show their true power level.

>>7146400
Not even Persona 3 reload escaped the woke localization.

>>7146400
The whole "CARBON ENGINE" is nothing more then a emuapp corw wrap-!round over a CHD rom with fake simulated NEWMODES!!! that are just special save states with custom scripts to simulate certain stuff, nothing is done in the actual game engine or its source code, the CRT shader looks like ass, and its gonna be sold at full 70$ price.

ITS A SCAM!!!!

Really depends on what you want to do. If sculpting faces the best advice you will ever receive is to do sculpts on low amount of polys. Don't subdivide without need. Try to block big shapes! Think which of them are most important. It's little bit like drawing a caricatures. Only subdivide mesh if you're absolutely sure you CAN'T make it any better with current number of polys. Do lots of sculpts like that. Quick, low, focusing on big forns. If you sculpt likeness of a person from reference, stop as soon when you think anyone would recognize that person from your sculpt. And then do next one.
The worst time waster is to subdivide a lot and then polish that turd for hours/days
t. Using zbrush since 3.1

>>7145954
what is a comfy low spot to dynamesh with? and whats a good cap to finish at? because i dynameshed this to 200 just so it wouldnt lookblocky since i see that same advice mentioned alot

>>7145970
If you're learning I'd advice to not dynamesh just yet. Make a cube in some 3d app (or with z modeler but it'd be simpler to just do it in max /Maya /blender...) make that cube with 9 quads on each side. Import that to zbrush, subdivide once. And sculpt. Don't subdivide again until you're absolutely sure you reached the point where you can't improve shapes with current number of polys.
This cube method might seem unnecessary in the age of more modern tools in zbrush. But everyone I ever talked to feels like this is really good method to learn still.
I feel like all those more advanced newer tools in zbrush are great when you know what you're doing. But for beginners they might be confusing or even build bad habits.

i feel i fucked myself alot when i see people with obviously better fundementals than me and felt i shouldve in a simular postion feeling behind seeing friends with a more of a refined skill but trying to remember that wasnt my focus at that time. You only do what your interested in

>>7145867
Any focused practice will throw your art ahead by leaps. Don't be mad or jealous, but be motivated instead. Sit down, look at your stuff and spot all the mistakes and weak points and make a list. Then devise a plan to work on them. Thats it man, enjoy your new progress.

Often we need this kind of hit to break a plateau, this is yours

I used to, but a friend of mine who I used to study with has gone on to live become a lot better than me, and I realized the real difference was not work ethic or time, but goals, his goal was always clear in his mind, and my goal is to simply enjoy drawing, I don't think I can have a more lofty goal than that and that keeps me up sometimes, but such is life.
Pic related is my art and I don't wanna dox the homie since he doesn't use 4chan.
"Grapes do not grow on thorn bushes. Figs do not grow on weeds."

>>7145867
I found out today that a friend I work closely with feels the way you feel with regard to myself.
I was kind of shocked at the time but like I don't really show any emotion on my face so I just kinda like, blinked at him. It felt inside him like a volcanic eruption that felt like if I said a single word it would like "consumed by fire" our whole relationship.

It hurts to read your story.

>What can someone like me do to help?
help improve shape language

>>7145844
try drawing things you find pretty or enjoy looking at

>>7145844
You've always been this bad, you just haven't realized it til now.
Keep it up.

>>7145844
>Burnt out
>Drawing ellipses
There's your problem.
Burn out can only be averted by going towards what you love to make. If you're just stuck in the practice / skill obsession grind, you're sucking all joy out of it.
Ideally take a break, but go back to revisit the things that made you want to draw in the first place. Get hyped up and excited for your favorite artists and just sink into that headspace again, imagine you're a teenager or whatever age you were when the fire was lit.
Grinding fundies is not the way to deal with burn out, it's just a form of insecurity manifesting as false productive action.

>>7145844
copy art that you like

>>7145842

I love this trope.

What's his net worth any way?

>>7145842
You don't need to be the best artist, you just need to be a good enough artist with an attractive enough style, with characters and stories that resonate with an audience.
The Japanese manga landscape is littered with artists that are 1000 times better in character design, backgrounds, and overall artistry that fell by the wayside because their stories and characters weren't up to snuff.

Bryan lee o'malley is a faggot but I don't hate on him because he found success.

>>7145897
this he tapped into a zeitgeist with the work and was somewhat ahead of the curve on some trends - manic pixie, nerd culture becoming mainstream

pros: draw whatever you want without affecting real life, no pressure from people to ask you for things/free work irl

cons: harder to network or get collaborations/industry work, commissions can also be difficult to set up

>>7145841
graffitti isnt art and banksy is a jewish propaganda money laundering group.
