>>3498162
made this out of driftwood I found at the beach

>>3498164
and I did more to this older painting

>>3498178

Finally finished this up last night. Trying to do a completely finished work every month minimum.

>>3498162
>>3498166
I really like the vibrancy of these two.

>>3498179
LAst one i actaully feel proud of this one

>>3498182
I love the use of lights

>>3498166
pretty solid overall but could use more defined foreground and background

>>3498182
is that cloth? do you use ref? you should

Think this belongs here and not the dad thread

>>3498185
Thanks, it got done and redone a few times before I got it where I wanted it. It was really my first time trying to push light, but it sure as hell was a learning experience.

>>3498193
What did you use as reference? im interested in learning to paint that kind of textures

>>3498188
I used a ref for the light through water, but didn't really use one for the fabric. I couldn't figure out a way to get some to stay in that shape, and it shows at the bottom near the circle.
>>3498204
For the fabric texture /lightinh however, I just looked up some pics of fabric suspended on the wind on google, and then applied my imagination. Thats probably why I ended up re doing it a few times. Pic related is one of the earlier iterations.

>>3498183
This is lovely. Dat rich color and lighting

>>3498236
Thanks a lot my dude!

>>3498232
I really like this one as poster or something

>>3498182
Common Bryan you can do better than this.
What is this even supposed to be the sky isn't even reflecting on the bottom.

>>3498189
This is another one. Like is this kid constipated or something?

>>3498364
reminds me of chunbum

Yo

>>3498568
thanks bud
I know it's me

>>3498519
Are you having a stroke?

>>3498586
How often do the nightmares happen?

>>3498586
This is another one like what fuck is this shit?, is the girl some street whore? During the apocalypse? Who should win? The aliens that were stupid to come to this world, or god/angels for allowing such a shitty artist waste paint?

I guess in the end the meteor will purge it all.

My dog

>>3498586
I actually genuinely love this. Something about the way you stylized the figure in the front, it's appealing to me personally. And the sort of surreal atmosphere is also nice.

its like chunbum and illustrat are in a race to the bottom

>>3498908
Nice gradients, without loosing edges. I can tell you are dedicated and hard working.

guess who this is

>>3498586
Have you heard of this thing called perspective, by any chance?
Again, I really shouldn't be throwing stones at the village idiot, so I'll stop now.

>>3499024
I heart Gauguin?

Pastels on paper, was a commission for someone of their dogs. I really want to get into oil painting again but i just don't have the room/time to work comfortably which bums me out.

>>3499063
Gauguin is /ourguy/

>>3499268
the GOAT

>>3499061
The painting has empirical perspective. It’s like my 2nd painting ever dum dum

>>3499312
You still sitting on big piles of books so you can reach the canvas when you paint, midget man?

>>3499318
I am 6 feet tall. My dick is 10 inches. Wanna suck it?

>>3499312
>It’s like my 2nd painting ever dum dum
and are you proud of it? why did you post it?

>>3499321
Nice try. We all know Brian has the best dick on this board

>>3499330

of course he is because illastrat has never improved

>>3499270

jfc so unappealing

>>3499154
I like this.

I call this one "Sometimes I get angry!"

>>3498183
Rad

>>3499330
Because I like the concept. Just because it ain’t super technical doesn’t mean it can’t be appreciated

>>3499384
if you like the concept why haven't you painted a new one? Your skills must've improved a lot since then

started this

gonna do another layer probably tonight

>>3499554

That's great. What medium?

>>3499621
Feathers

>>3498586
lol what's up lilli? It's been 5 years since DeviantART.

>>3499629
wait you KNOW this hack?!

>>3499633
Yes, back in my Deviantshit days he would fuck with people in the complaints forum.

Also he's full of shit, he's painted alot more than two paintings, at least 10. He paints on cardboard also not canvas.

>>3499640
>seriously painting on cardboard

>>3499640
Has he at least improved?

>>3499621
Colored pencils, graphite and white chalk on paper

>>3499538
alright I finished it

>>3499650
see for yourself

>>3499741
Are you retarded?

Was sketching motorcycles at a Harley Davidson store yesterday

>>3499762

his mom dropped him on his head one too many times but we don't talk about that

>>3499741
No you haven't.

Seriously do some fucking studies and do background first. The layers are fucking awful

>>3499554
This is so clean with just a little hint of stylization. Jelly of the crispness.

>>3499768
Why waste lead when sharpie or crayon will do?

>>3498162
gj brian

left my painting at my friend's house... some pen from the museum. tips on hand/arm fatigue when trying to walk around/stand and draw? fuckin up my proportions

>>3500775
It's Bryan not "Brian".

>>3499715
This is really great, love your brush strokes they seem all very intentional.
>>3499336
same problem as last time with the contrast. I think bringing the lights out more would be great. and having sharper edges between the darks and the lights would make it less muddy feeling,.

>>3501523
Thanks

Here are some of my recent paintings from the last week or 2.

Here are some of my recent paintings from the last week or two.

what do you think anons?


https://www.deviantart.com/vascku

>>3499554
this is just insanely good, but I it must be 2 years since I saw it the first time?

just did this, no ref used.

Anyone got any tips on gouache, especially plein air/landscapes? I can't tell if its mostly perspective issues but plein air just kills me, I don't know what to do.


Relatively recent gouache I did, sargent study

>>3501856
sorry im a dumbass. rotated

>>3501857
>>3501856
Thats dope. Post a landscape so we can see whats wrong.

>>3501703
Yes, from last year in 2017. Like this one:

>>3502026
I think I have to draw more birds, maybe this fall, meanwhile I leave this quick sketch:

I'm currently working in this small sculpture of a creature

>>3501800
I love it, so you have any social media for your work?

been working on this

>>3502813
finished it

>>3502828
Nice colors

>>3502812
hey, thanks! no, I don't have any social media at all. But, I'm thinking about starting an instagram eventually. Maybe I'll start one up later, I'll post in here if I do.

>>3502026
>>3502030
so good. very interesting to see more work from the same artist, easier to learn from it

Oil painting im struggling with. 8x10 canvas

>>3503158
Amazing!!!, do you have any blog?

>>3503237
no, i have my Instagram @dtrindart

>>3503158
>>3503237
>>3503238

Samefag

>>3503158
Is this a good render of an ugly girl or a bad rendering of a pretty girl?

>>3503586
no man, sorry, you failed.

>>3503608
Woah nice crit, blog?

>>3499715
Some of those greens are very acidic, have you tried a cerulean and ochre mix for the green of trees? One of my favourites. That mass in the bottom left is a bit hard to understand

>>3503608
my intention was to make a render of a girl

>>3501800
no refs used.

>>3504549
did another one. no refs

>>3504549
>>3504674
amazing!, is that white charcoal on black paper?

>>3504807
thanks! yep, only white chalk pencil and tombow eraser pen.

>>3504674
Your drawings are all well and good, but vague patternistic subjects such as clouds and rock formations that can be expressed more easily through implication, are actually quite different from say.... drawing a dude.

I'd like to see how you tackle drawing a dude without refs.

>>3505302
challenge accepted, what would you like said dude to do?

>>3505302
did this earlier, but it was too gay to post. I'll take a challenge tho, anything you want the dude to do?

Jesus I can't stand all the blatant samefagging ITT

10in x 20in acrylic.
Calling it "Lake of Rage"

>>3505302
I just did something and it turned out pretty cool imo. I could keep going, but it's exhausting. didn't look up from the paper once. rip it up, please. I have no loomis or anatomy knowledge fyi. Also faces are hard and time consuming. can't do both in one go and I almost never continue on a drawing after the initial session.

>>3499768
not sketching a road glide NGMI... LOL

>>3503669
based

This is obviously unfinished but I think I am getting the hang of doing an underwater setting. I find its a lot easier to work with a large canvass.

paint

this thread is worse than the /beg/ thread
so new containment thread?

>>3507304
The fuck how so?

>>3507342
dont let this guy bait you into shitting up another thread

haven't done these since art school...

and that's an acrilic piece painted from real life

>>3507345
i rather like that, nice and simple and by the book

>>3507304
we are only a handful of tradboys on /ic/, I doubt there is enough work being produced to justify multiple generals. post your work instead of shitting on everyone else.

>>3507349
very nice. top of the trees look kinda real. a tad green overall perhaps.

>>3507350
>>3507354
thank you

>>3507291
What the fuck is that painting to your left?

>>3507345
Best thing in this thread.

did this plein air today

>>3507684
like it. nice colors, especially the transitioning ground/sky also the edges tree/field

alright I finished it

>>3502828
i like this

>>3507756
The previous one was 100x better imo

>>3507777
You don't get better by leaving a thousand things unfinished

>>3507782
yeah, I can relate to that. Too often I leave things unfinished because I don't want to risk "ruining" it, so I commend your attitude, but as a crit, the first one was 100x better.

>>3507807
honestly what's usually the case is I will bring a piece to the level of finish that my current level is, and then in three months or so I have about 30 paintings that I can actually finish properly.

The OP picture for instance is something I did in March and then I finished it in july. this was it the first time I finished it.


No doubt I will come back to that painting when I'm ready.

>>3507824
okay, I see. but don't you think it would be cool to leave works in their "first" finished state, to look back at your progress when you become an old master?

>>3507826
some paintings, but I can't resist finishing everything, and usually my paintings take about three months to finish. I just like having something new to paint on, I don't really care how they look I just like painting something until I get bored with it.

>>3507829
sounds like a good approach to painting, I should do more of that. actually exactly what I need

>>3507777
Yep, you've broken up the main effect with too many value changes now.

>>3506180
me again. started painting and finally I've established some sort of technique that works for me. no ref used. not finished. need tips, crit etc

>>3508496
Maybe a bit more contrast between the branches and the leaves of the trees? Maybe it looks better irl but the bottom looks kinda of like a blob. Pretty clouds tho

>>3508522
it looks pretty much the same irl. If I do anything more with it, I will define the blob more, like you suggested. thanks

did this landscape today

>>3509077
very much going on, but I like looking at it. One question, what do you paint on?

>>3509129
I buy cheap pre-stretched canvases in bulk. Occasionally I will cut off the canvas on them and stretch my own cheap cotton on top if I want a more absorbent surface.

>>3498162
could not get a better pic, lighting is bad
>>3508496
really like this, but i cant tell its intentional or not
>>3509077
really cool

>>3509132
okay, I'll need to get some canvas supplier. I buy mine primed on roll, but it's expensive.
>>3509136
thanks, hard to say what is "intentional" when I paint. I didn't know what to paint when I started.

2 landscapes im working on

>>3509173
nice, really like the outline on the bottom one. how did you come up with that

>>3509077
bit of a glare on it, but I did more to this. gonna come back to it once I have a better idea of where I want the composition to go

>>3509276
I like this one better than the previous version

>>3509177
Are you talking about the outline on the hills? That is part of my blacking stage and I leave it visible cause blue orange, ya know. If your talking about around the whole painting that's just bad cropping on the pic.

>>3509336
blue and orange are complimentary? it looks real. nice

>>3509345
Well blue and yellow are but I find orange to fit my pallet better than yellow. Thanks alot.

>>3509276
you're work is lazy and unappealing.

>>3509328
also. same fag?

>>3499715
It's sad how you reply to your own posts.

What do you guys have against digital? It's the techniques that should matter, not the medium.

>>3509493
>HURR it's the artist and not the art materials
Because digital is shitty and easily made disposable. Its the Chad Traditional artist that paints 10/10 QT models and fucks them afterwards and gets paid/has his own studio business or gallery. The shutin virgin digital artist constantly complains about "not improving/making it or making a living from art and if he does it is almost always working as corporate wage cuck designer coolie that shudders in fear and stress of not making his corporate masters impossible to meet quotas and deadlines.

Don't believe me? Try going out painting (not plenair tablet dumb ass) in a park or nice place in the city and watch how girls will fawn over you and potential clients come by.

>>3509493
I also wanted to mention that is really good (good drawing and good color theory) and my previous comment was directed not at you but the usual /ic/ bitching types.

Ocean water painting of mine. trying my hand at not using white in watercolor and preserving lower values by using masking fluid.

Watercolor on 300lb paper.

>>3509574
you are so fucking narrow minded. Stay bad donkey fucker.

>easily made disposable

and canvas is not? In the end everything is DUST. Fucking fool.

digital art is the leading medium right now in the art industry. And will continue to be so long humans have technology

>>3509584
Yeah okay buddy, don't you have some tumblr followers that are expecting you to post new content? Those patreon cents don't make themselves you know.

>>3509588
Dumb ass no I don't have tumblr. Pathetic asshole.

>>3509574
Well I use digital because traditional mediums aren't compatible with my lifestyle. I do still try to focus on traditional techniques and color theory and watch lectures with traditional painters to see how they work.

And you can easily get chicks with digital too if you show off skills on a laptop. (caught me a little off-guard the first time. I got the looks I guess but I'm a loner by nature and suddenly I had two girls passing down offers from other guys just to hang out with me)

>>3509579
thx

>>3509276
>>3509467

don't listen to him i like the strokes! impressionism is at it's peak when your strokes are flicks of the wrist. you can tell this was painted by what you took back from the scene. that's the point of painting

>>3509580
Also my first unironic Bob Ross episode wet on wet oil painting.

>>3509600
artists that make loose strokes look good tend to work a lot slower than "flicks of the wrist" would imply. It's not about quantity or the speed of the strokes but the quality of reducing it to its simple expression.

>>3509607
How do you know that's not what I did?

>>3509606
I don't why 4chan doesn't auto rotate from exif meta data >CURRENT YEAR fucking infuriating.

>>3509610
I know you called it "flicks of the wrist". I can't tell if you have a different understanding of what that is than me but I don't think flicks are controlled or slow. :P

>>3509611
i dont know why you feel the need to post a fucking full resolution image in CURRENT YEAR either but here we fucking are

>>3503151
I dig the look. Although it could've used more layers

>>3509136
guise can i have some criticism

>>3511061
ofc anon. FIrst of all, I'd say composition-wise you have too much space on the bottom. It would be pretty cool if there was a path or something happening in that area. Painting wise I'd say the sky strokes look very cool with lots of different hues used. I really don't have a lot of knowledge. The white on the cabin is too white. are you by any chance scandinavian

>>3511061
>>3509136
looking at the landscape.

It's a mess. You have to think about how you lead the viewer's eyes. Group your image better based on value grouping. Think of the contours and feel the shape when you put down the brush strokes. That can help tell things apart. show how the wind have blown that grass with one set of strokes while that dirt path follows another set of strokes.

If you have problems with contours then I would point out that all great painters throughout history were also great draftsmen and that helped then a lot in their paintings and shows in their techniques.

>>3511080
Thanks for that. The concept the montain as the hard times in my life and the house as the safe place when getting through it, cheesy i know
im fom HUEland btw
>>3511106
true, i think the mussyness is the main problem
thanks anon

>>3507349
cool piece, keep it tight.

>>3509136
my biggest complaint is how bright that white on the house is.

>>3503158
>>3503238
very russian
i like it

I know its modernist trash that has been influenced by Pollock, but what do you Guys think about my acrylic atrocity?

>>3511805
No comment

>>3511845
worst part, sold it for €500,- to some art gook

>>3511805
dont really see the pollock infliuence

>>3511857
Great, it's still kinda bad though. Try harder

>>3511878
Yeah, Just a light touch, Pollock had some magic, but this was me experimenting with Paint thiccnesses

>>3511805
I think it is modernist trash that has been influenced by Pollock

I started this painting yesterday, gonna leave it how it is for now

>>3511919
Pollock is far greater artist then anyone on /ic/ combined.
The very fact a blue collar drunkard could sell paintings is a testament to the zigest of 1950's/60's taste. Also his paintings were never meant to last, something the idiot art counisurs didn't get and are now stuck with degrading paintings they stupidly spent millions for.

>>3512244
I want to walk that path. nice work

hey ya'll tradboys want to listen to my soundcloud?
cool
https://soundcloud.com/user-422667902

>>3512244
do you do inaccurate greens like that on purpose?

>>3498183
like this one

>>3503151
feel like it could have been better framed but the ton of head room is interesting

>>3509173
>>3509136
try doing something that isn't boring tho

>>3498162
>>3498166
is this digital?

>>3498586
neat

>>3511805
the M glob shape on the bottom left gives it a focal point that a crystallographic compositions shouldn't have. it better not be your fucking signature.

>>3511805
ok now here me out
paint a face over it

>>3509580
You need softer edges on the whites in the water, its fine to leave a hard edge in places, but it should vary.

>>3507349
the shore on the far side needed some variances, and details in it, nothing distracting, but it looks like reality stops across a 1000 mile river.

>>3506822
Hate to be this guy on ic, but your anatomy is off. you've got shading and attention to detail down, but you should spend more time on the sketch. legs are short seem to be in the wrong position, right hand has club fingers, and i don't think you can hold a book like that.

>>3502030
if you're gonna use a white pencil, use it on the whole image, birds good but his perch looks unfinished and not thought out. tree limbs don't have that bark texture, Also careful about relying on the light halo to separate background and foreground, he looks like bird Jesus has returned.

>>3501573
nice color, skulls to wide, if he's facing 3 quarter it would be half the size from the eye socket to the edge of the skull. The hat brim is drawn from the wrong angle. it's like we are looking up, instead of from the side.

>>3498162
>>3498166
>>3509077
oh yeah are you the impotent dipshit that's super jealous of my Racing Van Gogh bit and acted like a mewling faggot anonymously and then admitted you couldn't read?

It's crazy to me how much of an uppity faggot you choose to be if THIS is what you've got going on. Like your shit isn't overwhelmingly bad it's just very boring and uninspired for someone that's made over 700 paintings or whatever. Are you working on a series of generic background art to be sold in thrift stores or what?

>>3501541
you should sketch more before painting, the color and shading are good, but the over all structure of the objects are blobby

>>3501541
do more boats

>>3498166
You might actually be referencing old masters works too hard. your doing early Cezanne perspective and still lifes, using colors like Matisse and paint strokes like van gogh, Where are you?

>>3507684
yeah all that "I'm better than you" shit was you huh. Jeez what a tryhard dingus you are. You paint trees m8.
>bitch boy
>weak little faggot.
was all that you?
>i can draw much better than you as well. bye bye. just let that sink in for a bit, bitch boy
but you draw trees? You can draw vertical lines and leaf clumps? That's such a weird thing for you to desperately repeat with more and more context. Nigga you're drawing scapes.

im mostly just goofing btw, faggot OP. Sure, you're can be a malignant piece of shit coward that says shit like "bitch boy" unironically. And sure, you're super insecure and desperate in boring, predictable ways and you have a lot of uppity hangups that are probably keeping you from making legitimately interesting art that would merit your self-importance.

Paint a meme breh

>>3513032

Would not hire you to paint a fence. Do you let your paint dry up or something? Maybe use different tools. You should work on making flat areas and smooth gradient transitions.

>>3513079
>Would not hire you to paint a fence.
that's smart I'd probably phone say I'd do it and then blow it off 2/3 of the way through.
>Do you let your paint dry up or something?
Yeah that one is still on the acrylic gesso layer, like where >>3512973 is at, they still need highlights and shadows and detailing and stuff.
>Maybe use different tools.
Open to suggestoins
>You should work on making flat areas and smooth gradient transitions.
go on

>>3513086
If you listen to painters who have studied under the old masters you'll hear that in order to master any medium two of the things you need to be able to do is hard edges where you separate one color or value from another. Then you need to be able to do gradation for blending, form and lost edges, especially if you want to do realistic paintings.

It doesn't matter if it is digital or traditional, these rules still apply. Some traditional painters will mix different type of paint to achieve this while others will look to tools like wet sponges and so on. Then if you don't have all the colors available then it really becomes important that you understand color theory to compensate.

Looking at your stuff you should probably study impressionism.

>>3513129

Get out of my thread

>>3513256
are you on drugs that make you think you're really fresh or are you slightly manic?

>>3508496
from life

>>3513607
That's nice. I'm glad summers finally here, this thread will probably just turn into still lifes come october

drew this girl at the bookstore today. hopefully she sits for a painting later, she seemed like she liked me.

>>3513792
How do you do this shit anon and get away with it, anon? I am too much of an autist to even go outside, let alone draw cute girls at the library, let alone ask them to pose :^)

>>3513607
whats the thing in the middle?

>>3513312
what you don't like people talking shit for no reason?

thinking of making a painting titled bitch boy about (you) brah. gonna be a mediocre painting of trees

>>3513476
>are you on drugs
yeah probably
>that make you think you're really fresh
no I mostly kind of just think you sniveling faggots are even more than contemptible than my shitty art
>or are you slightly manic?
I painted from 10 am yesterday to 11 am today.

>>3513792

You made her look pretty haggard Bryan.

>>3513792
make something interesting you boring sack of shit

you're my good little bitch arent you. good boy.

i can draw much better than you as well. bye bye. just let that sink in for a bit, bitch boy.

:)

>do you think you'll be remembered as fondly as me when we both die?

>>3513981
You have a weird fetish and your colors are milky and bad. Step away from the white tube

>>3513984
>you have a weird fetish
you even get me started on armpits or trash
>and your colors are milky and bad.
I accept this
>Step away from the white tube
Black
Then
White are
All I see
In my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reaching out to me
Lets me see

As below so above and beyond I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend

bye bye loser :) im better than you
im better because i work harder and thats just the truth
stay bad autist, keep typing like youre writing an essay on gettting bullied, you weak little faggot.

dont bother responding but i know you will because you have to because youre my little bitch toy and you love the cock :)

>>3513983
I can't believe people still fall for the "my work will be appreciated when i'm dead" horse shit.

Alright Bryan I'll probably stop copying things (you) said in my thread. You insecure fucking baby.

Makes scents that you're such a petulant bitter asshole given that your faggot parents named you "Bryan." Name one (1) person named Bryan that isn't an awful cunt.

It's a bummer that you're such a malignant buttblasted asshole.

>>3514004
tldr

actually I'll post this one too

>i am better than you so i dont really need to worry about it
you didn't need to "worry about it" anyway so it was weird that you felt the need to stress this in the first place. And what's it matter if you're better than everyone if all you do is act like a belligerent shrimpdicked asshole while painting faggy tree paintings that knock off shit that prople were doing 100 years ago? You got a Salieri complex or what?

>best part is you imagine yourself being famous
I mean I don't really care that much. anyone can be famous. but like, do "imagine yourself as famous" right now? With your tree paintings?
>but youll still be painting shitty memes
yeah probably. and you'll still be making hack scapes then?
>while i already have a following hahahha
How big is your following brah? You think I can fit your following in my mouth?

OP you're a coward

>>3513825
it's a clearing

>>3513675
thanks, yeah I'm hoping to be painting straight from imagination by then tho.

You containment thread is still up >>3505107

You just spammed so much that it doesn't get bumped anymore.

Please don't kill this one by spamming your shitty paintings here too.

>>3514138
>You just spammed so much that it doesn't get bumped anymore.
Yeah and it's past bump limit and I'm done with that thread and going back offline for a few weeks to start writing episodes so I'm getting it out now on your faggot threads where OP's massive following will read even if she can't.

So yeah OP is a slutty coward cocktease and he had this coming with his tryhard shit in my containment thread. And he didn't even have the balls or self-respect to talk shit with his art. Fuck that racket. Nigga needs to be embarrassed a little.

Don't act like a malignant toxic faggot spreading your shit for no reason than your own pathetic insecurities against people that aren't hurting you, while hiding behind anon and expect there never to be consequences that haunt you in your own faggot safe spaces is my point.

>Please don't kill this one by spamming your shitty paintings here too.
Shouldn't have given me a fucking reason bb

I don't care about being embarrassed. I thrive in it. idk if OP can say the same. Which is why his art is trash. You're all so obsessed with the muh fundamentals that you risk missing the forrest for the boring paintings of trees. what fucking year is it? what are you fucking doing OP?

And do you see how arguing for subversive memeschlock art in a "traditional" general is kind of a fucking autistic and thread killing thing to?
Yet you cucks have no issue coming to my fucking containment unit every time acting like belligerent anonymous faggots at me because I'm not interested in making art designed to appeal to 19th century art historians.

as a bystander to this spectacle, it seems like somebody hurt you in another thread and you're having a tantrum in this thread which was doing just fine without your shitty meme paintings. They are hard on the eyes and bring simply nothing to the table other than it being marginally funny that you're making portraits of memes.

You seem to be the incarnation of le ironic millenial artist, what exactly is your function?

>it seems like somebody hurt you in another thread and you're having a tantrum in this thread which was doing just fine without your shitty meme paintings.
I mean they're part of it. It's part of them. It's how they're presented.
>They are hard on the eyes and bring simply nothing to the table other than it being marginally funny that you're making portraits of memes.
yeah I'm a clown. The muh fundamentals traditionalists keep trying to talk shit at me but my whole bit I'm working on is that of a belligerent demon clown. What's known as a berserksklovn in Danish maybe.
>You seem to be the incarnation of le ironic millenial artist, what exactly is your function?
I'm racing Van Gogh in total number of paintings produced in less amount of time. I'm currently in the peasant painting period which is all solicited from anons on /tv/ mostly and argued about on /ic/ because spite and obsessiveness and weird childish antagonistic masochism is part of it.

Plus I'm also shooting footage of the process starting at #17 and it keeps spiraling out through time for years as one continuous stream of conscious impulse that will eventually be edited into a spearmintel film that includes ranting vo commentary and historical and personal context as I devolve from trying to be a wholesome autistic youtube meme painter into a berserksklovn monster that lives in a bunker ranting about how subversive messaging strategy is destroying how people understand what thinking is. It's all a bit of a fun little goofy gag I'm doing for the How to paint Trump episode. Been in production since January 2017.

Here's most of the timelapse footage of the process chronically edited into an hour long fucking music video featuring the groovy tunes of your favorite hipster bands like LCD soundsystem and Arcade Fire and MGMT and shit like that because go fuck yourself. https://youtu.be/45GkUiuRmjM I like the last minute of it.

>>3514478
haha, that one hurt huh?

>>3514484
no why would it hurt? this entire process has nothing to do with you, you're some anonymous text generator for you to work out ideas against before I start writing.

If anything there's a pleasant irony to you basically lifting dialogue from the le ironic millennial artist trope, after that was what you had just projected at me. Kind just makes you look like a hypocrite while further illustrates the entire point of the project: that time is entropy, cosmically and existentially all effort will always be for nothing, and meaning should be found in the effort itself.

So I'm not sure why you think I would be surprised that some le ironic anon would have a hard time reading? I count on that. That's the bit. no homo tho

>>3514493
That's fine, sounds great. just don't shit up threads please.

>>3514504
eh

2 hour value sketch from life, had to stop early/rush because I had an appointment. Only happy with the cherries.

any advice on adding long thin lines of one value between two painted areas or over a still-wet painted area? Right now I'm just loading a brush and tapping them in, but it doesn't get me nice controlled results. Makes me miss charcoal.

Asian Secret
Acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30 inches, 2018-07-12

>>3514872
Oh wow, its exactly the same as the other 20 completely identical grotesque symbol-drawn faces you painted!
Go learn fundamentals you retard.

>>3514449
>boring trash
says the guy who posts dozens of bland amateur portraits, without showing any kind of improvement between them.
you are basically Illastrat 2.0, but he's entertaining and doesnt shit up the board so much

>>3514609
why did it took 2 hours?

>>3514609
What medium are you using. Wet on wet can be tricky with any paint because you basically have to have the brush feeding paint at a rate to deposit it on top of the wet layer of the ground without allowing to brush to pick up any of the wet layer below. Its really easy to get a muddy mess, especially with oils. This is one of the spots where acrylic's quick drying can be an asset.

What I usually do is really load the brush up, and stop at intervals along the line to clean and reload the brush. I'm not great at it, but that seems to work for me.

>>3514934
lets have a vote. who likes this painting? who doesnt?

>>3514989
Jesus Christ who fucking gives a shit you god damned autist.

This isn't a painting I made but I've had it for quite some time. Some NYCer with Cherokee background made this.

Did that attention whore write that?

Supposedly Van Gogh cut off his ear because of a fear of losing attention.

>>3515121
What in the flying fuck? What Peyote concoction do you need to paint like this?

that retard still in here? I did three drawings of this girl at the beach today, kept two and gave her one.

>>3515412
same girl

>>3515412
decent. how did she react? I drew a girl at the beach once and wanted to give it to her, but found out she was 15 so I just kept that whole situation to myself.

>>3515450
yeah this girl was 16 and with her grandmother, but they were enthralled with me, and we talked and I drew for like an hour. Kinda awkward how much she was into me, but that's more societal shit than anything.

>>3515457
stop roleplaying you autist this did not happen

>>3515457
did they approach you while you were drawing or what? did you exchange any personal information

>>3515414
she had a broken wrist?

>>3515465
I got her Instagram, she tagged me in some pictures, I went up to them and asked if I could draw them. Only found out she was a teenager after the first drawing.

>>3515460
i was gonna do more drawings of her but I ran out of paper.

>>3515498

Holly shit Why do you spell it "brian"?
What a shitty name.

>>3515696

>>3515711
you're pretty well known by now. I'd stop caring at this point

>>3515412

>>3515696
wait Brian I thought you already had a following? You got fucking 19 followers m8 wtf

Also it's interesting how your parents reported you missing in 2013? What was that about? You gotta answer your phone Brian.

>>3515733
memeboy is so fucking salty lol

>>3515730
>Wish the meme guy would stop harassing me cause he thinks the guy that was calling him "bitch boy" was me but whatever.
I think we both know that it was you brah. Why lie? You posted your vomit trees in the same chain, using the same writing sytle as the bitch boy posts, which were all about how desperate that anon was to stress how much better they think they are.

The reason you're trash is because you're a fucking coward. Coulda just owned it and it could have been funny shitposting. Instead you wait til that tread 404s and then start swearing it wasn't you.

Seems a bit disingenuous tbphwyf. Do you lie often?

>>3515738
motherfucker was bragging about how he already had a big ol following. 19 people on instagram is a weirdly small following for someone to brag about is all I'm getting at.

Just seems like a faggy thing to get uppity about on 4chan, particularly when it isn't even true.

You're alright, VG2. Keep doing god's work. And start all the trad generals from now on -- it kills him when he doesn't make it.

>>3515746
awesome
>>3515744
still, you're pretty salty memeboy

>>3515744
his first post was 6 days ago, its clearly a new account. why are you so obsessed with him?

there I'm the 20th follower. You should use hashtags Brian. They also have fucking bots that can use that will like random posts that use hashtags that you choose, so you can constantly be networking with other artfags by giving them likes, which draws their attention to you and gives you more likeminded followers and stuff.

>>3515753
thanks mane

>>3515747
>And start all the trad generals from now on -- it kills him when he doesn't make it.
that's way too much work than it's worth tbphwyf
>>3515753
I mean I'm kind of salty? I'm mostly just being a prick as goof. If anything it's just kind of sad to see someone that actually does put in the work and is that insecure that they need to tell themselves they're better than the fuck you meme painter. It kind of should have been self-evident, so it says a lot about his scents of self.
>>3515754
>why are you so obsessed with him?
idk. I kind of like his art for one thing, and I'm interested by how insecure he is. Went to art school and everything but still gets super triggered by memeschlock art for some reason.

>>3515730
meme guy is a bitch boi though. Also not that other guy.

>your feelings got hurt buddy, just admit it
I did. I said "I mean I'm kind of salty." Which is about as "hurt feelings" as I get really. I thrive on being antagonized. idk if it's really irony as much as it's autism tbphwyf.
> and tell us what this is all really about.
I did. "I kind of like his art for one thing, and I'm interested by how insecure he is." Plus I'm all about behavioral conditioning and subversion and entropy and stuff. Dude went out of his way to conduct a shitpost hissy fit for hours with a bunch of "lol didn't read" posts in my containment quarters, acting like a tryhard asshole that thought he was being le ebin troll anonymously. I'm nothing if not a demon, and m'gurl b-rain gave me something to do for a day or 2.

Why does there need to be a "what this is all really about" though? I'm like a dog chasing a car meme

Oil. I think part of my problem is that my brushes (even flats) have some fray and don't give as hard/sharp an edge as I'd like. They weren't inexpensive.

I'm using bristle. Maybe I should use synthetic.
