/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

How about no.

>>1522532
Scared, are you?

>>1522531
oh golly a poorly rendered floating eye. it's like i'm really looking at the highschool draw pad of every female arteest that ever walked the face of the earth.

you don't even know what 'realism' means, dipshit.

>>1522557
Hey, i didnt say i was the best at this either bro, so come on, if your not gonna contribute to the thread get out and grow up...

>>1522557
Listen at him op, he surely pro artist.
He will post nothing but, he surely master of art, probably he has a museum named like him.

I just really love the attitude of /ic/.

For better or worse this would be the one for me.

Barely a month has passed since I finished it and I can already see many things that I could have done better.

>>1522531
how about we don't make threads showcasing something you did whilst following a tutorial on youtube

>dat smudging
>eyelashes look like tree branches

>>1522581
Actually i followed a stock photo eye... But yea, i think i need to imorove blending and eyelash related shit

>>1522580
Yea i always feel like shit about my drawings once im done

>>1522586
i also think you need to improve and come back later ready to learn, not make it a competition

why do people even draw just eyes as a work.

>>1522588
Oh i didnt intend it as competion, i jyst wanted to see other peoples work and seeing what i could change on mine

>>1522590
then all you need to do is lurk.

off with ya'

bitch.

>>1522531

if it's not creative i don't give a shit about it.

>>1522589
It's like drawing a nose or an ear wtfff like why

Wow, you guys must be 12 or something. Instead of post your art, you basically yell at OP and tell him "nuh-uh your draw is shitty AND uncreative!!! gb2 YouTube".
It's not even "blunt critique" at this point, it's just incessant bitching.

Here you go. Took me a shitload of time.

>>1522717
progress images pls

>>1522727

>>1522731
I lol'd

>>1522731
lol'd n' saged!

Wow what the fuck guys. OP made a pretty benign topic asking to see people's attempts at a certain genre of art, and you guys act like a bunch of rage filled retards.

Seriously, what the fuck? I don't even know what to think about this.

>>1522557
People saying stuff like that usually follow tutorials themselves but are in denial. How else you know it was from a tutorial? Smudging is allowed as long if it doesnt fails. This is a good eye. Stop being such a faggot pretending to know everything about art.

>>1522581 durr hurr never heard of mascara?
Maybe it is OP's eye, she maybe wears mascara?

Also, some people can't draw eyes. I can't, however I am good at drawing hands because I doodle them allot. So yes, drawing allot of____ can make you good at drawing ____.

>>1522769
no dude i say stuff like that because this sort of crap is artistically bankrupt. it's technically impressive when done well (which op's is not) but even then there's an endgame, i.e. being indistinguishable from a photograph. that shit's been done, we don't need this.

>>1522779
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_(arts)

It's like you don't even know what realism is. Yes, OP's was a bad example, but realism and photorealism (what you're talking about) are two totally different things.

>>1522781
no shit, which is why i said "you don't even know what 'realism' means, dipshit" in that first post.

op was clearly using it as interchangeable with photorealism (as many do on this board and elsewhere), which is why i called him out.

>>1522785

Ah you are right, my bad anon. I didn't read all the way back, my apologies.

>>1522717
goddamn this man is beautiful

>>1522781

Wow, this is just amazing, this to me is true art, and not the modernist/abstract crap you see in most museums.

God it looks just like a photograph, even at this resolution, incredible.

>>1525120
I think you're missing the point.

>>1525125

Pray tell

>>1525120
okay doge, calm down

>>1525131
It's not about photorealism

“The essence of realism is its negation of the ideal… The expression of beauty is in direct ratio to the power of conception the artist has acquired.”

Realism is really best understood as a sort of post-romanticism. It's about trying to capture subject matter in a raw way to convey a powerful feeling, and it's as much about creating a realistic psychology for the subjects as it is about sticking to realistic depictions.

>>1522731

>>1525139
Pretty much this.

I tried photorealism once (which I assume is what OP means as "realism")
I quickly realized how empty, mind numbing, pointless and retarded it is to copy an existing photograph exactly.

It's one thing to do that with live models (which is impossible and the essence of a drawing is still there) but whats the point of photorealism anyways

>>1525440
Because it impresses your facebook friends.

>>1522531
This and I have one more..

>>1525496
And this one is my latest one.

Ignore the filename i just rush shit. Plus this is a rough cut, need to spend more time on it really.

>>1525634
plus this which i started today, i just loose concentration and get about half way.

>>1525637
gah

>>1525634
Cut the crap and just say it's a work in progress son.

>>1525634
>>1525639
That... doesn't even look painted! It looks like manipulated photo's that you went over a bit with a brush!

Jesus christ /ic/.
Who pissed in your cereal today? One meh drawing of an eye and you go into full offense mode.

>>1525634
Yeah...

>>1525639

>>1525644
Don't mind me, I like the thread. Have always had a taste for realism... I just don't like people who cheat by tracing and manipulating photo's.

>>1525659
Imagine how weird you must be in order to accept praise for someone else's work, how useless an artist you'd have to be to use lies and illusions just to have people who innocently don't know any better see you as something you are not.

>>1525144
And since we're at it... yours at 50% opacity over the original photo

>>1525660
Perhaps just very immature... Seriously, this is something most should have grown out of by the age of 9!

>>1525675
"I'm like such a sociopath, I manipulate the people around me to do what I want them to do"

Great job, Mister Rubberburner, you managed to realize that the people around you trust you not to lie to them and you abuse this trust and mistake that for some kind of innate psychological skill.

This might be why I don't appreciate photorealism at all. Faking it is just the conclusion of doing photorealistic images.
My two cents, nothing more.

>>1525677
Yeah, it's probably one of the things that most people find off-putting and there fore they doesn't appreciate most realism, simply because they don't like being tricked in any way... It's really hard to tell sometimes who actually takes pride in their work and appreciates their fans... and those who just pisses on them to fuel their ego.

What is this even about now?

>>1525700
Let's make it about busting lil' cheaters, it's fun! Just now on the front page on DA...

>>1525837
And already I realize this is actually kind of boring... There's just so much of it it makes my head spin!!

>>1525837
I-I like your hand writing anon.

>>1525837
I think I write like a crow on meth... but thanks, I guess!

If that shit isn't traced/faked, I don't know what is.

>>1525850
Not that anon, but I happen to like crows.

>>1525869
Hmm, when I think of it, I guess they are pretty alright critters! I'm sorry crows, didn't mean to offend your calligraphy abilities!

>>1525849
One last for tonight since thirds the charm! I could go one for ever, tho. There's no lack of content out there...

>>1525853
Good lord... Zero construction there! Gotta be a layer we're not seeing, how does one do that?

>>1522731

a little old but I've moved away from realism lately

>>1525884
yep good move.
While your realism attempt is decent I think its qutite boring. (to me atleast) I rather look at some heavy and impressive brushwork.

>>1525906
i tried

thanks, sorry was a pic from in my car after i finished it

why post if i know i'll get trolled or ignored

>>1525935
/ic/ is just slow tonight, calm your titties and repost in the draw thread later

>>1525837

I just put one Loomis drawing over a photo, and look, it fits exactly.

Wich, in this particular case, just show how skilled he was (being able to trace from the future and all).

>>1525911
I think it's really fucking nice, I get the feel of the glass from it

ok, i'll bite, this is from about a decade ago, charcoal/papr

this is what up to these days, oil/graphite

>>1526468
and here's something old

>>1525877

This is a very easy trick, you just trace the photographs, put it on a layer with a mask and just simulate to draw it using a unmask brush to bring the drawing back after recording the video, this person pratically makes it the whole movie using the screencap taken from de mv. Videos like this bring bad fame to actually good digital artists.

>>1525906
>>1525911
This is sweet. Nicely done.

>>1526443
lol'd

not sure what "realistic drawing" is. Is it just correctly portraying what you see? basically a study? or is op talking about hyperrealism

Best i have

one of my favorites

This was my try at realism a while ago. I'm also missing the hand, and I think there was also a face.

this is the most realistic thing ive done imo

Drew this back in 2005 using colored pencils. V-day's gift for my wife.

I honestly think this is the best realistic work I've done even though its two years old...

yall are getting impressionism and realism confused

Did this about a year and a half ago for a college assessment

>>1525853

I wonder why a person spend so much time on making fake speedpaints and not trying to actually learn how to draw.
Maybe this person masturbates to deviantart comments.

>>1526443
You so funny!

wtf is this shit

this is the most realistic thing I've done so far.
I did most of this today actually.
sorry for bad quality

This is an old drawing of a buddy of mine...Been a while since I have picked up the pencil, just waiting for some motivation

found this, did it a year ago and forgot somehow now it got wrinkled idk what should i do, do i finish it or is it ruined?

>>1529856
Don't get attached to a single piece of work, move on to something ele.

ITT: kids in art classes busting out sketch books

diddly.

>>1529856
girl dat was ruined when u started it

OHHHHHHHH

>>1529913
>im so good at art i post on 4chan

>>1522531
I was pretty proud of these pants...

the only realistic thing I've done, at request.

I prefer creative/cartoonish art

>>1529965
Scratch that
I did take one class.
The teacher fucking came over realism.

>>1522531
>>1529975
You could have rotated these in gimp.

Impresses the shit out of everyone who isn't really into art enough to realize how unimpressive copying a photo ultimately is.
Regardless, I made it so here it is.

>>1530016
This is actually impressive for a portrait study!
The strokes are so crisp and clear.

I want to make impressive paintings like this, i always rely on canvas textures and the likes to try to make my paintings look like they're supposed to be "flat".

Don't sell yourself out!!

I have two that are my favorite one out of life drawing. Here's one.

And two

Probably one of my most realistic

My waifu

>>1530244
lol that quality, find better refs, you want hi res and unwarped

>>1530244
>When your painting is higher quality than your reference.

You know you need better reference.

>>1522717
what if this was actually a picture

>>1530709
pathetic faggot

>>1530874
I think you are pathetic.
