I also painted someone's cat today

like the bench

>>4250199
Still working on my balls. Still waiting for my oil ground to come in. Then I’m free.

self portrait kinda based on the doom HUD

>>4250392
work'em harder boy.

>>4250396
Looks like a red orb from devil may cry

>>4250396
Super clean strokes. I would have guessed digital except for the canvas shine. I like it!

>>4250397
As soon as my balls dry I can work on their temperature and their form. They are a little too cold for my comfort right now:)

>>4250396
Very nice

I did this for inktober, I'll post a few more

>>4250599
please don't

>>4250599

>>4250396
Real nice, I'm a sucker for this kind of painting

its very hard to paint women without doing a drawing first. I can paint men no problem freehand but women not so much

>>4251355
had another go at it, this time with a prep drawing

>>4251469
painted a woman in the snow

Wow, a Brian thread.

>>4250396
a good piece of art on 4chan? am i on the wrong website?

>>4251355
>I can paint men no problem freehand but women not so much
Okay hotshot, let's see your Donald Trump... In landscape format with plenty of scenic detail

working on this study, something seems off tho

>>4252720
also nice thread op thank you

>>4250200
Finally, an animal! I've been trawling the board to find anything animally. I like drawing animals, please see pic related

profile portrait

How do you feel about traditional sketches and inks that have digital coloring

>>4252771
you should work more on the drafting process

>>4253070
cool geometric brushwork, but the ear seems a little bit too small (unless the subject has this unusually small ear)

>>4250599
gay af

>>4250602
kinda cool

>>4253312

>>4253314

>>4252771
Absolutely stunning work. High concept paired effortlessly with the more basic style

painted this plein air

Guys how do I start?!?!? I'm tired of doing doodles and looking at animes fags in art classes. I'm dropping my classes and doing this shit on my own but I don't know where to start

>>4253551
pick a masters painting. paint it. repeat.

>>4253070
What the fuck is up with that retarded haircut every kid is wearing now?
Did vanilla ice suddenly get popular again?

>>4253317
nice work! Really enjoy the warmth on the ears and nose. I think that same color on the right side of the forehead isn't working quite as well though.
>>4253482
the specificity of those warm tones in the mid right of the painting is really nice.

Here's one I've been picking away at

lil gouache one

>>4250199
>>4251355
>>4251469
>>4254340

>>4254230
Yea you're right, should've used a cooler color for the forehead.

>>4253482
finished this up

>>4250396
the style, color, strokes and facial expression go very well together. damn nice.

>>4255330
thanks for the kind words
here's a plant painting I finished up

>>4255834
is this a hidden message? theres a plant posting on ic?

>>4255834
very nice

>>4250396

>>4254230
>>4255834
Those are incredible, really nice work

So started a Anime Background thread a little back and some kind Anons recommended Nicker Poster Paints. I'm mostly a digital artist but thought I'd give traditional a go so bought some. Made this. Shit I know and obviously needs improvement so I'd like some critiques and advice on how to start painting with poster paints.

>>4256151
What kind of surface are you painting?

>>4256171
*on

>>4256173
>>4256171
I'm currently using cold press watercolour paper by Art-n-Fly

>>4250396
those are some good fucking shapes anon!

>>4250396
Your brushwork reminds me of that swedish guy whatever his name is that paints his Grand Danois

>>4253070
I would've bet $100 this was digital

>>4253718
No it's the Nazi youth hairstyle coming back in style anon

>>4252771
Very nice

I finished this a week or two ago. Are there any tricks for drawing forests and shit from a distance and make it look decent?

Really upset with how this turned out. Wanted to make a cool drawing of a DnD character and ended up showcasing my weaknesses

>>4256493
Benjamin Bjorklund! Thanks, he's a huge inspiration

>>4256151
Right now your picture seems like you are thinking in a too "flat sense". Think about where your point of view would be.
Personally I like to work in the sense I have illustrated over your image. To use lines to block it off.

Also its very barren. Adding in just simple shapes like poles (like I have done) can give a more sense of the landscape.
Don't be afraid of your lines, that is often what will make a work come to life. Right now you seem to want to replicate what happens digitally and everything becomes a bit sterile.

>>4257728
Thanks for the advise anon. Do you have any tips for painting distant textures like grass or tree bark?

Also this is the level I want to get to some day. Is this possible in a traditional medium?

>>4257789

>>4258009
Thanks dude. Gonna pour through these next chance I get.

>>4257671
Do you have somewhere you post your work?

>>4258095

working my way through this

>>4250396
Damn you're fucking ugly but nice painting

>>4251650
This one is very good

I wish lmao

Is this a accurate overview of the zorn palette? I don't care about the painting demonstration just the color mixing part.

>>4255269
Gorgeous. Made me feel something intangible.

tried painting this doggo yesterday

mirror ref charcoal wip need crit

>>4253718
>now
This was a trend in like 2013 you fag

>>4256601
I was thinking he might be painting digital first and then oil.

A pastel drawing I'm working on as a christmas gift. Kind of torn on whether I'm gonna keep it more loose and suggest the hair instead of rendering it out, I think I should keep it more loose, I never liked those xeroxed pet portraits, but my tastes might not correlate with that of the receiver.

>>4260532
Be faithful to the impression of the shape of the top of the head but keep what you’re doing, it’s great. Whoever is getting it will love it.

>>4256793

Don't draw every leaf or blade of grass seperately, but suggest them by using groups of differing values.

>>4260532
Red eyes and mouth froth would be nice

Any tips for acrylic paint?

>>4260922
Yes.
Trashcan then buy oils.

Butterfly 5x7" oil on canvas board

I’m not done with this yet, i need to soften the edges of its belly and the tail, the branch needs more work and so do the talons, plus i need to define the feathers better, especially the tail and wings. Lots of stuff to do left.

Dad says it reminds him of Corot. It's deceptively simple, it took a lot of work, the paint is built up over layers and layers. The globe of the sun is pleasingly solid. The cloud formation took ages, at one point I thought it was finished, I had to go back to it. It is a small high quality oil painting.

>>4250200
Comical, the cat's expression is pleasing. The background could have done with more work, or at least contrasting with the bench and cat. A reasonable sketch, to be framed and purchased.

>>4250396
Not without skill, composition is awkward. Standard comic book art 5/10.

>>4250599
Very good, nice coloring, good body shapes.

>>4251355
Bizarre. There's something about it certainly. What you lack in draughtsmanship you make up in drama and atmosphere. Keep going, you're on to something.

>>4251469
Preferred the other one (35.jpg) , still you can capture mood, you need to push your self a bit more really.

>>4251650
Really good. You are a talented artist.

>>4264514
lmfao do you have eyes little nigga

>>4264510
>>4264512
>>4264514

b***n please

>>4255269
Not bad, you're not at your full potential that's for sure. I don't really want to make any recommendations because you're going to find your artistic self anyway. Other than study other people's art and then be better than them . Sort of in between a pot boiler and expressionism, fascinating. Still quite naive really, but that's not to your detriment.

>>4255834
Better than the portrait, lovely feeling of solidity with the mantel piece.

>>4264527
>>4264521

>>4259175

>>4264541
We will overcome.

What, by giving yourself calluses on your weewee?

>>4264664
I have a box of watercolors a portable easel.

>>4264476
It's great anon, good work

Funny how /trad/ is the only thread not /beg/ tier.

>>4264718

Probably because trad art supplies are a bit of an investment. Better learn to use them well if you are gonna spend money.

>>4264476
Looking good.

>>4256822
Best work in the thread get's zero (you)'s, typical. I think you should post in another general. Anyways got a blog?

>>4264971

Because it’s far from the best ITT lad

>>4264971

LOL!!!!!

>>4264718
the sketchbook thread is usually pretty good

>>4265059
Dear Lord, behold the pinhead.

>>4264476
very nic and great light. I prefer 3d over detail so the only thing wrong imo is that the head area is a bit flat.

>>4265089
thanks, I painted this too

dont blame the tools.

>>4251355
Welcome to /ic/, Cecilia Giménez!

>>4265059
actually into this one

>>4265582

Acrylics are legit garbage though

>>4265991
thats why since their introduction in the 70s theyve only faded into obscurity and nobody uses them.

>>4265582
My car against your bike.....go!

>>4266009

Only shitty bored housewife hobbyists use them, 99% of the professional traditional artists with actual skill use oils.

>>4260398
History stopped in 2010, we're in a time loop.

First go at Oil pastels in a while.

>>4266044
your bait is lame and overdone.

>>4266110

Not bait. Go ahead, show me those professional artists with actual good work painted in acrylics. I'll wait. They are far and few in between.

Marcia Burtt, and she paints plein air

>>4266451

This looks okay, but not what I have in mind skill-wise to be honest. It still looks very much like a typical acrylic painting. No subtleties in the colour, etc.

>>4266456
>nyeaahhhh its not good enuff
i figured.
dont fucking eat the bait.

>>4266456
Oh fuck off, unless you're going to PYW.
Moving the goalposts is so trite.

>>4266474

Already did in this very fucking thread. Go eat a dick brother.

>>4266514
Well your work is shit brian

>>4266474
It is awful. You are aware of that aren't you?

>>4266451
Are you Marcia Burtt? I suspect that your not so you're misusing the thread, really.

>>4266563
Yes I am, and I posted my work. Suck my saggy titties.

>>4266606
You're a long way away from me, Madam.

Nice cubism

>>4266931
what do you hope to achieve with your paintings?

>>4267013
A modest living

>>4267019
Does anyone ever buy them?

>>4267047
Nope. Here’s some hands I drew

>>4267019
Good luck. You are going to need it.

thanks Gandalf. can I have any of your magical stones to take with me on the journey?

just fupping around.

Just drew this

>>4267261
lmao this nigga just made a harry potter reference what a fucking nerd

>>4268076
To some degree the subject matter in my paintings is arbitrary, but I know how to paint.

>>4252771
have any more work? really like it

>>4268450
No, no you don't Your values are atrocious..

bros i hate brian so much

Hopefully not sideways

inspired by some of the paintings in the inspo thread

>>4269076
Take your meds Brian.

I don't know the first thing about painting or shading but I love doing watercolors anyway. Forgive the potato photo my phone is like 7 years old.

I'm not a regular on this board or on 4chan for that matter. I just pop in this thread once in a while to see if this Brian guy posted something new.

I find his boldness really inspiring. Hope you keep at it dude

>>4270702
Enjoying the actual process for itself is half the battle. Compared to the vast number of despair "I donna wanna draw!" posts here, you already won.

I feel like my values need work.

>>4271937
Are you working from a photo? The problem will be there that the values get compressed, if your source really shows a barn that dark then you need to consider how you can vary the information you put down. Also, atmospheric perspective states those background trees MUST be lighter and less saturated than everything in front. This is if you want to follow the rules of realism, of course.

>>4271937
>>4272120
Here is an Aldro Hibbard, a master of snow painting. See how the snow is not uniform white or grey, and the houses are a variety of broken colours.

>>4272125
That was a tease, here is the actual pic.

>>4272126
What this guy said. Snow is the one thing you can paint color locally in landscapes. Is the snow pink? Blue? Yellow? It’s never just white, it’s the exact color of the light outside

>>4272135
Sometimes it is just white.

>>4272158
Look harder. Find the color, even if it’s arbitrary. Nobody is gonna buy your winter Landscape that’s 80% the canvas showing

>>4272158
Or if you really want to paint the snow white prime your canvas as something other than white. Anywhere from beige to black but you can’t just have a painting with 5 brushstrokes on it and say “it’s snow!”. First of all that’s pretentious second of all where’s the god damn fun in that. You did a painting in 10 seconds?

Training myself to redo things I'm not 100% happy with.
Yesterday I drew link related https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EMa77SBWoAAuNAt?format=jpg&name=small
and it's close to what I had envisioned but it's not quite there... First up the hovercraft isn't completely in perspective but what bothers me the most is the gesture. It communicates what I wanted it to communicate, however I think the drawing would benefit if I pushed it more.
Will post updates on my process.

I think this is more like. He is more leaned forward, facial features now contort in anticipation, hands are open and the fingers are wide spread. Lighting will hopefully turn out to be more dramatic.

It must be Gina Lollobrigida, right? Actress and Sculptor. I was looking through photos last night while listening to Lovecraft stories.

Pretty good. I think the flowers could use more contrast.
>>4273557
She looks concave. Check your value structure.
>>4273682
Absolute mess, no focal point, impossible to read.
>>4274161
The figure and the background are completely disconnected. The shadows on the figure dont go dark enough either, especially in contrast with what you put behind it.

Shut up Brian, your shit is awful. Shouldn't you yell about how it's your style?

>>4268107

>>4274161

Anyone here use dip pens? I'm considering buying one and some ink. Been using fineliners but the idea of getting line variation appeals to me and they're pretty cheap. What do you think about dip pens? I considered a fountain pen but seems it's harder to find waterproof ink that doesn't jam it up and they're more expensive.

>>4274728
I like dip pens more than fineliners, it's cheaper and they handle abuse better.
Takes some time getting used to and it's a bit of a hassle compared to fineliners but you get a lot more control over your lines and I think the end result looks more "organic" because of that.
Also, make sure to clean the crown every time you are done, they last a lot longer that way, especially if you use heavily pigmented archival quality inks.
Try it, experiment a bit.

I've never been obliged to paint the same subject twice, but here it is... twin sunflowers. Reminds me of reading Dear Theo at 12.

>>4274757
Thanks. Any other tips?

>>4274413
Jj is the man!

>>4275175
I dunno man, I'm no expert.
Try different nibs, different sizes handle differently which can make it more or less enjoyable.
I always keep an old rag and some water when drawing with dip pens so I can clean it. I also don't throw the used water out cause after a while it becomes really dark and I can use a brush for light shading which is a nice way to recycle the ink. And keeping the nib clean makes the ink flow better.

Just try it and don't be put off by the first stroke you put down.

Brian it seems like you are the only legit artist here. Why did you drive illastrat and others away from ic? Don't you feel lonely? Or perhaps you enjoy being the biggest fish in a small pond?

>>4274208
>It looks bad on purpose
Expected as much. Idk why I bothered replying.

>>4275268
>implying I don't look at and crit every piece of art posted on this forum in my head
I just like looking at other people's artwork

Watercoloured a beach today, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out but hit me with your best shot.

See anything that needs to be improved on? also any tips on shadows.

>>4273682
>>4274161
you are fascinating to watch because you are a cartoonist class, but you're doing an impressionist/realist build. I'd put more skillpoints into shape and form if I were you cause a lot of your stuff is wonky and flat. your texture and color skills are really great.

>>4275268
>>4275287


Hahaha nice samefagging Brian

>>4275295
Well done.

>>4275609
what type of yellow are you using? also great work, especially on the rocks.

>>4275609
I really like it! Did you draw it from your imagination? Love the colours. What materials did you use?

Here's my first attempt at a landscape painting bob Ross style. Had to use acrylics though.

>>4250599
fuckin spic

>>4274728
>>4275175
-Keep damp tissue or towel handy and wipe pen between every dip
-Always pull pen, don't push. Can scratch a little to sides if careful
-Use fresh ink, pour a little in a container for use and then when it starts to get old (will get thick and be nightmare to draw with) pour it in a bigger one, refill the small container with new ink, use the old ink in big container only for experimenting and e.g. inking with brush
-Dip pen up to holes, draw a line on scrap paper to get off excess ink that otherwise would fall while drawing. You will occasionally spill at first, don't worry about it
-Work left to right to not smudge your shit when it's still drying
-When done for the day take old toothbrush and brush your nib clean under water, it'll last longer and work better
-Practice applying pressure going thin to thick and vice versa, line weight is important. If pressing hard with full ink load you will spill. Also hatching, look up nib pen art. Your shoulder is your friend

>>4276854
btw I use little shot glasses for my ink, I stopped drinking and started inking

Work in progress

>>4275782
>>4276534
Cheers guys.
I believe it's Winsor Newton's yellow deep. I don't have the packaging on hand though, so I'm not 100%.
I did the initial sketch and washes plein air. I use an ohto fine liner, Windsor's portable watercolour set and the brush it came with.

>>4276872
hmmm

>>4276854
Thanks for the tips! I'm a leftie so I assume I'll work right to left instead.
Any other advice on handling ink? Will the ink in the smaller container last longer if covered? I've got a small jar about that size.
Do you draw with pencils first when using a dip pen? What kind of stuff do you draw?
Any suggestions on nibs? there's a lot of different ones.
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, I've never used a dip pen before, never handled ink either, it's very new to me.
Thanks for the advice though!

>>4276979
Looks great! I like the wrinkles in the faces where the hands are pressing into the skin.

>>4270702
>I dont know the first thing about painting or shading
Maybe you lack formal education, but you know probably the first and second things of both painting and shading. Sorry if that disappoints you.

painting this

oil or acrylic?

>>4277475
Word of advice, don't use the colour black straight up. Always mix it with another colour first or don't use it at all. Your painting becomes too flat when you use black as someone still figuring out how to work paint.

>>4277782
I didn’t use black though

>>4277816
You really need to make the hands more slender.

>>4277475

>>4253551
Online art classes/forum sites for objective critique, but you usually have to pay membership. If drawing is an investment for you than it's worth the cost.

or just do self study books/videos floating around /ic/.

>>4256793
thinner lines in the background

>>4277205
Yea will last longer if covered. Ink supply lasts years if not in contact with air, container advice is for when you pour ink from big bottle that you bought to last. Can thin ink with added water. Also there is different kinds of ink of course, I use india ink which is waterproof but there's many water soluble brands like pilot ink that draw smoother and can use for ink wash, but of course will smudge with any moisture.

I draw pencil sketches first of course, I'm not very skilled, I draw knights and shit. Picrel is a study I did. Color is watercolor so that's why the waterproof ink. I use G-nibs, nice and flexible, ordered them online pretty cheap but shipping was expensive so got a bunch of stuff all at once. I also work with brush dipped in ink, I like water brushes for both ink and watercolor. Experiment a lot. Happy inking

Also working on a nu-impression meme

watercolour and pencil drawing I did a few days ago

>>4250199
Done while work was slow today, proportions and perspective is whack but i think its kinda comfy.

>>4250602
This is good, the only thing is that the horses body looks like that of a cow. Make his body longer

What I am looking at?

I started watercolor 2 months ago.

fuck forgot pic

painted a guy who looks like santa to test out the oil paint i got for christmas

>>4279898
This is impossible to make out. I see a bag and a water bottle maybe?

Been practicing watercolor and I'm slowly starting to enjoy it. This painting was after a drawing I made at a figure drawing session. I'm trying to get a grip on color and temperature, I could've pushed the values more but I'd rather paint it again than overwork it.
It's practice, if I get a good enough grip on watercolor and can paint without fidgeting too much I want to take my painting gear to life figure drawing next time and paint from life.

Try again bitch

bump

tried an experimental palette of burnt umber, teal, and vermillion... tried to see if I could replace yellow with a dark brown. Relatively happy with the results, but it's a very finesse heavy palette because to get the "yellow" you have to thin down the brown directly on the canvas (And it's more orange than yellow). Gonna try it on a figure painting eventually.

Looks like shit to be honest. Muddy as fuck.

I wish Brian would start tripfagging so I could filter him out.

I find it really hard to make out what exactly I'm looking at.
Now I can see it's supposed to be a landscape but the lack of depth makes it hard to find a sense of space.
Was this done from life or reference or something? I'd love to see what it was based off if that is the case.

Same here. These threads would be very nice if every other post wasn’t Brian Comfuckingforti autofellating.

>>4285588
they'd also die in like two days

a bit late to the conversation, but I genuinely enjoy using acrylics if I use a medium with them (I frequent gloss gel mediums and a retardant)

I'm a student so not professional by any means but I was able to achieve this only with cheap acrylics and medium over about a week.

Don't hate the tools for your lack of skill in using them.

unrelated to that discussion, here's a couple little gouache pieces from yesterday. First one was a study from gurney's color and light and the second was an exercise in edge lighting

not a fan of the second one for a multitude of reasons

>>4250199
does pencil count? I drew adachi

>>4286219
I like it

another layer.
Am I supposed to mix linseed oil with the solvent? I just used linseed oil for this, but will it take forever to dry? I havent really used oil before

>>4287394
No, you don't need to. It'll thin the paint but won't make it dry faster. If you're impatient, try something like galkyd, my layers dry in a day or two. Your pigments and which oils they're mixed with in the tube matter too.

>>4287394
It'll be ~ a week in a well ventilated room. People usually keep a few paintings at a time to bounce between as the others dry

>>4287459
Linseed oil by itself will dry significantly slower than linseed oil mixed with solvent what are you talking about

>>4255834
Do you post your work anywhere I could see ? Very enjoyable

>>4287762

>>4288223
go in with a smaller brush, and it could use more defined contours

added more to this

>>4288968
why would anyone who paints like that listen to you?

>>4289218
So he doesn’t paint like that anymore spaz

First oil painting

>>4289333

No one wants to paint like you Brian

>>4288968
Where is the central focal point?

>people would rather complain about Brian than comment on your work
No wonder these threads are so-so.

>>4290097
I don't post my work anymore b/c BC bitches on it, plus all he want to do is post his own.
It's got real old, real fast. Trad threads have been decimated.
