>Describe your imaginal dream course
5 days. Summer camp for adults vibe. You wake up early and spend breakfast doing pitch meetings where people talk about what problems they're dealing with and what they're thinking about doing day. Then it's an 8 hour day an an open studio spae with every one, with the first few hours executed sober before you introduce a different mind-enlightening drug in relatively small doses for the people to get weird on while they're singularly focused on artistic production.

First day is just drinks and personals for people to get to know each other. Second day you introduce pot and maybe mdma. 3rd day everyone takes shrooms. 4th day everyone takes acid. 5th day everyone reflects and wraps up the projects they started at the beginning and found on the way. Then on like the next weekend you use the studio space to host a gallery and showing where all the projects are presented, as well as a video compilation/slideshow of their week, for their friends and family or to be forced to go to or something idk.

>Try some different subjects. like still life and bones and maybe some full body (dont have to be these just as example)
yeah I'm moving towards working on that stuff more. Definitely planning on doing some kind of skelly meme parallel with Van Gogh's smoking skelly.
>more reference studies that are more about getting down the forms just using light and shadow and never any hard out lines or grids
yeah next year and then year 4 are going to go more into that stuff. Definitely think I'll probably continue spiraling into stacking paint and using tons of layers, and then maybe hit a high water mark and then start working on minimalism and economy of strokez and everything. Like how pic related will be interpreted in year 4 will probably be about how to do capture it as simply as possible.

Thinking of doing a couple different still life spearments over next year. If I do manage to get some studio space or find a new place that I can do whatever in, I'm thinking of doing like a month of daily still lives of the same fruits as they rot. And like doing pen and watercolor drawings is something I'm finna get into. And construction and fabrication and stuff to build meme viewing machines and elaborate frames and meme projector guns and whatever.

appreciate your critique m80

I'm thinking of making a ~3 foot tall sculpture of pic related.

Would it be too autistic to do it with all with armature wire and sculpy?

What medium should I do?

>>3642580
His piss fetishism is inspiring to me.

Plus his whole meme of just making 2 or 3 color prints of exact proportional reproductions of a celebrity's face is a big part of my meme.

He's up there with Lichtenstein and Van Gogh and Goya for people that I aspire to be a squeakquel to.

year zero: hand drawn and accidental black paint abuse
year one: graphite transfer and on porpoise black paint abuse
year two: grids and white paint/additive abuse
year three: projection and pigment abuse
year four: sculpture and 3d painting abuse
and so on up to year ten or whenever idk.

yeah they're basically just good for blowing things up or looking at references on photoshop and stuff.

It's much more of a "left brain" meme.

>do you just place a grid on the ref image and copy it onto the page?
A lot of what le old masters did was thumbnails, then sketches that are roughly the proportional then they'd pop a grid on the sketch and the larger canvas to transfer the sketch to the canvas. It's a good exercise for doing bigger pieces and paintings where the goal is to look proportionally accurate.
>i've never actually used grids before and didnt think anyone actually used this method
Part of the reason that Van Gogh used so much paint and strokes and stuff was to cover all the weirdly thick guidelines and grids and stuff that he drew on the canvas before things got wet.

Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks. I built this series around doing devolving types of transfers to canvas. After the first 16 or so I did a ton of graphite transfers, then year 2 was a shift to grids, with hand drawn ones sprinkled in. I'm doing it partially just to be an asshole, and partially to establish my own novel aesthetic. Most people don't necessarily need to do hundreds of them like I am but I think everyone should understand and have experience gridding, tracing, and graphite transfering.

Like in art magnet school in middle school we had a 9-week focus on using grids to blow up cartoon images like Lichtenstein. Was a good experience. If you have a folder or portfolio or something thats a good thing to practice a blow up on if you got a day and you want to do a left brain exorcism

Yeah I thought I was responding to a grid thing more. But I think they're essentially aspects of the same thing.

Plus they would do traces to. Understanding how to do graphite transfer doesn't hurt anything. I'd even argue it helps you get a kinesthetic feel in your hands for what it feels like when you're drawing accurately.

I'd be interested to see some /beg/ fags try doing a graphite transfer first, then try redrawing the image from hand. The freehand one would probably look better than one of your normal drawings because your muscle memory knows what it did the first thyme.

idk. I'm an advocate for trying everything. Pic related is a graphite transfer from my year one, a grid from my year 2, and a future statue for year 4. Next year I'm reproducing it again as a freehand as a science goof. Then year 5 I'm gonna try and make a dang mural of it idk.

Point is just do stuff. Don't limit experience.

does bigger count?

I want to do a wood carving of pic related

Episode 2 is Confirmed for Autism.

Which is also about how Conan's writers apparently have a schtick where they encourage qt actresses to talk about how they were fucking weirdos as kids.

>Evangeline Lilly Autism earlobe fetish
>Mackenzie Davis playing with dead animals as a kid
>lady that appeared with Norm one time

and then in furtherance it's about the aesthetic appeal of people in hyper fabricated, idealized situations, made up and wardrobed to look as attractive as possible, then being invited to act like wierdo kids. There's a fundamental appeal (to me at least kys faggets) of capturing people in ideal production circumstances, demonstrating humanity in ways that aren't generally appreciated, particularly not in the "fine arts."

The idea of finding your flow experience in spite of an audience of people laughing at you is something that gets my braincunt wet as fuck.

And like capturing someone at their most extremely distorted reactionary cringe face. That's capturing someone operating outside of their sense of self. It's a state of nothingness.

Wabi sabi.

>No anatomy, no draftmanship, and no ateliers. Basically a scam.
you're generally expected to already understand a lot about anatomy and draftsmanship BEFORE you get to a college right? That's 101 shit, and it can be pretty easily googled. Also it sounds like your program sucked cox and dix.

And seriously where the fuck do universities or wherever go heavy on atelier programs? Is that actually still a thing? I'd love to hire some dumbass undergrads to paint memes in my name. That'd be super convenient.

Or do we just mean like when everyone draws a nude model or whatever?

>If you actually practiced instead of relying on tracing and using grids, the drawing would take you about 10 - 15 mins
I mean it depends on what you're doing imo. A lot of what I focus on is the framing, and I'm drawing onto the canvas. Like, yeah, I could MAYBE be able to shave off time in the long run if I focused my efforts on being able to perfectly eyeball a drawing on a 12x16 or bigger or whatever, but for what porpoise really?
>theres nothing wrong with using grids to help you speed up the process, but you cant use them as replacement to knowing how to draw.
I agree. But my issue with A LOT of the mindset among the dingdongs on this board is that Hand Drawing is like THE ONLY thing anyone focuses on being able to do. And if you're not making art that highlights your ability to Hand Draw you eat an endless amount of shit.

To me there's a narcissism to this kind of obsessive focus on ONLY the fundamentals. As far as normies are concerned, it's all doodles. Whether a person is capable of realistically hand drawing versus whether they just graphite transfer means NOTHING to potential consumers afaick tbphwyf.

like, yes knowing the fundamentals of drawing is important, but so is knowing how the fundamentals can be subverted. Every working painter I've talked to uses grids, projection, or graphite transfer FIRST. They hand draw if they have creative wiggle room or can fuck around a bit.
