/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

one of the most useful coloring tutorials i've seen

>>2217338
What is this? An image for small people?

>>2217338
Can't read shit fam

photobashing is fine tbh

An artist once said

"Painting is really all about the right shape, right value, and right color"

>>2217349
I say starting with a painting, and photobashing to improve it is okay. But starting with photobash and painting over that is not cool.

>>2217356
What's it matter? If you are just trying to do a design, then do it any way you want. Photos are much faster and for certain things can look better than manually painting it. It's a standard in the industry, get used to it.

You were lying when you said these were helpful. These will make artists worse. Good job.

>>2217424
If you have better post them, if not your bitching will not help said artist get better

sitting on the sidelines complaining about things you don't like won't improve the quality of the thread

If you have better tutorials post them and show how the other tutorials are "wrong" until then you're no more helpful than people posting "terrible" tutorials

>>2217409
Most of these are not any helpful for those aimming for profesionalism.Here, I have some.

The color wheel with the "natural" value of each color.

>THAT FUCKING BLUE FILTER

fun times

>>2217487
>>ITS NOT EVEN THAT GOOD
someone's a butthurt jelly roll

>>2217489

Oh those quotes were just things I remember from the shitstorm that occurred when it was first posted.

Personally I think its great.

>>2217481
distant helmet wing placement is completely fucked

>>2217489
While he's just quoting someone it's true that it sucks, fuccboi.

>>2217487
It was more that people felt it looked best in the second last step, and that the last step flattens the whole image and make a lot of the previous stages of work irrelevant.

>>2217489
>>2217487
Anyone got a cap of when those two anons got into a shit flinging contest and one ended up posting his work which BTFO out of the other? I'm not sure if it was in that thread or not.

>>2217360
>It's a standard in the industry, get used to it.

And if you're in the industry, have deadlines, and your employer is cool with it, sure.
If you're just lazy it's a little shittier. And if you do do it you should at least be up front that it's photobashed.

>>2217539
>And if you're in the industry, have deadlines, and your employer is cool with it, sure.
Yup. I think it's also acceptable when building a portfolio to get work in the industry.

>you should at least be up front that it's photobashed
Most of the time it is pretty obvious. I think so long as you aren't intentionally misleading people by saying it's a painting then it's fine.

>>2217531
I want this

>>2217531
>>2217597
sounds delicious

>show your work

is the best thing on /ic/ the ultimate equalizer and for some...well it's just mud on your face

More fuel to the fire

>>2217368
SAUCE NOW

>>2217434
>aimming for profesionalism.
If that's your goal, then consider leaving /ic/

>>2217449
this one is very interesting, thx for posting

>>2217611
> le /ic/ is shit meme

Why don't you leave then.

>>2217338

Anybody got anything for hands?

>>2217369
the final product is amazing

>>2217531
I'd really love to see this

>>2217345
I like this style of teaching. I'm capable of learning programming languages in matter of hours using insults in the variable names and functions a mnemonics.

>>2217600

Only 90% of the time people don't do it anyway and even if they do, /ic/ will probably shit on them regardless of skill level because that's what /ic/ does.

>>2218084
This person doesn't understand what gestures are for

>>2217338

>>2218120
/ic/ gives credit where credit is due.

>>2218380
The whole term "gesture" encompasses a clusterfuck of different and often conflicting opinions, ideas, and definitions. There's no set definition of what a gesture is, how long it should take, what the goal of it is, how you should do it etc. It didn't even become a thing really until some posthumously interpreted things from Nicolaides all within the last century or so anyhow. There's not a long history of gesture drawing, at least not in line with how it is often taught today.

>>2217338
this tutorial seems to be more for insects

>>2218692
not really, /ic/ finds a lint, a flaw and then magnifies it to overwhelming proportion, overshadowing 99% the rest of the work.

>>2217369
Stop shilling, Devin!

>>2218727
All of you are insects.

>>2217345
underrated post

>>2218749
This. /ic/ is shit at giving critique tbh.

/ic/ is only helpful when you got your head way up your ass.

>>2217345
>>2218877
damn right, it's like someone went through keys to drawing and drawing on the right side of the brain and extracted the only thing that's actually useful in those books.

>>2218749

>magnifies a flaw to overwhelming proportion

implying this isn't the best form of critique possible.

Like in drawing, your proportions should play up your retard genetics.

>>2217349
Photobashing is on par with Rotoscoping
Both should only be used when dealing with a business, not as something to be regarded as art.

>>2217605
Definitely something wrong with the skull.

>>2223014
Maybe he has thick hair

>>2223014
I don't think so. Human variety.

>>2219588
This fuck shit fuck shit style does seem to resonate with horny teenagers..

I realy hate this style of writing, reminds me of that shity yelling japanese "teacher".

>>2217611
Anywhere else to go? Or just stay off the internet?

>>2218749
there's usually several flaws in the art people post here but we point out the biggest ones for time's sake.

i bet you think "her spine looks broken" is a minor flaw, too.

>>2223167
no human looks like that, go outside.

>but it's STYLIZED

>>2223177
My classmate in high school had a very similar facial structure.
And I've seen people looking wilder than you can come up with in art.

>>2223167
I think because it's an elf it's not supposed to be human. It's not a normal human skull but that doesn't make it wrong.

>>2223014
His eyes aren't aliged very well. Also I think the right side of his face seems wider than the left.

>>2223014
>>2223199
his face is way too small and out of perspective and the plane structure of his entire skull is wrong.

i found a pretty close comparison so that you can see for yourself.

>>2223456
Who cares? Still looks a million times better than anything you could do.

>>2223472
>argument completely countered, and destroyed
>who cares?
ok lol

>>2218088
Dumb question: Would this work for rectangles or does it have to be a true cube?

>>2217338
renée chio is just a shitty version of her boyfriend anyway

>>2217359
I really like this. Need more images for traditional drawing rather than photoshop trickery. He should have drawn a hotter girl though, I never understood why ugly people = "more artsy".

The dude's name is Devin Platts, you'll have to find the link yourself.

>>2224193

i just bought the thing i was talking about its where he does an elephant mage character. it's really not that great, the painting is awesome but his narration sucks.

>>2217345
the shape thing is more useful than 100 pages of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

thank you anon

>>2217359
Where is this from?

>>2224185
Check the catalog. The thread is still up.

That shit is legit son.

>>2225648
Stop.

>>2224100
It will work with everything that have something you can use as axis(if it has not, attach it lol), as long as your turning ellipse stays in same perspective, it will turn vertexes it touches correctly and in correct direction. I believe this is how stuff works in 3d programs, just more complicated.
Robertson has much more info on this principle as well, check it out it's very helpful, in fact he uses it extensively to turn stuff like fins, wings, other planes in his drawings.

>>2224166
Is this bait?

>>2217338
Thanks man, it was really helpful

>>2217382
The perpetual tippy toe/invisible high heels look retarded. Calm your dick for a moment if you're trying to teach.

>>2217340
any bigger?

>>2217426
burned

>>2224466
im surprised people here didnt already do that. i thought thats what you were suppose to do...

Tutorials are another way to root yourself in symbol drawing.

>>2233995
>"trust me guys! I know my shit!!
A lot of these are helping people to draw things from your head; realistically.
sooo, not symbol drawing. But good shilling tho

>>2217369
what is "sss"?

>>2235273
>realistically
realistically as in "practical" or realistically as in "representing reality in art"

you're wrong on both fronts either way. most of these are dogshit.

Bump.

Question about references!
If I were to use a photograph as a reference for a piece, which is slightly distorted (but not exactly a photorealistic copy), could I use the piece to apply to art school? Would I have to face a shitstorm of copyright? Not looking to sell the piece.
