Has anyone watched the most recent draftsmen videos?
The diy art school series sounded perfect but they just talk about random bullshit and don't offer much actual advice.
During the season 1 videos I was often filling up pages of my notepad with notes from the videos but now I finish the videos with nothing to note.
In todays video about "mentors" they offer no ideas other than "do online courses with feedback". proko talks about his fucking proko 2.0 pie in the sky idea yet again for 15 of 40 minutes.

>> No.4589155

I feel like a lot of criticisms in regard to Proko's artistic ability miss a very important question, the question that most should answer before they even start to draw, what do you want to draw?

I know these days and age, especially in /ic/, it's hard to imagine that someone might set out with the goal of being able to do the dry af big boy drawings, and not say, cute anime girls having their cute cervix prolapsing out, but the former is still a valid goal.

When we judge an artist, we should judge them by how well they can accomplish what they've set out to do, so we can judge them more objectively, with less of our personal bias. A judgement on what they choose to draw is a value judgement which is reasonable, a judgement on the technical aspects of what they've chosen to create is also important. And dismissing the latter because of the former is unfair when it comes to assessing their artistic ability in my humble opinion.

tl;dr you don't see people grilling animu artists for not being able to draw portrait or realistic figures, etc. as well as they draw animu, to grilling proko for not being able to draw from imagination as well as he draws big boy drawings would be like grilling the said animu artists for not being able to do life drawing, portrait, etc.

Ridiculous comparison, there's no one who's competent at drawing anime from imagination who can't also do perfectly competent still lifes and copies from references.

It's not about painting as well as Proko does. I never said that. Why can none of you fucking read.
What I said was that drawing from reference is strictly easier than drawing from imagination. What this means is that if your imagination skill level is X then your reference skill level will be at least X or greater. Proko's reference skill level is massively higher than his imagination skill level, it's very lopsided. But someone who's competent at drawing from imagination would have to be at least equally as competent at drawing from reference, it's impossible to have that same imbalance.
All this is to say that you can't defend Proko by saying "well he went one path and other people went another" because what he does is simply objectively easier than what good animators and comic artists do, EVEN IF a full time animator couldn't right now paint a portrait as well as he could (but he'd have a hell of an easier time getting to Proko's level in painting than Proko would getting to the animator's level).

Ehhh, that depends on how they draw from imagination. If it's close to realism, like Miles Johnston's style, what you say is true. But if it's animu or something really abstract, then no because I've taken figure drawing classes and people who draw anime suffer the most.

The rest of what you said is on the mark though

Think about this logically.
Let's say I put a piece by your favorite pro artist in front of you, in the style you usually work in, and I ask you to copy it.
Then I take away all references and ask you to draw something from imagination.
Are you really telling me that the second drawing will look better than the first? Because that's what it sounds like you're telling me. If that's what you're saying then please post your imagination work, because I don't think I've ever seen someone claim that they're better at imagination than reference. I could only see this being true if you're already at a pro level and you're your own favorite artist.

Most "photo-realists" actually just work from a photo lol and go point for point through the canvas.
There's no real greater understanding of volume or subtlety, not that they couldn't do it of course, they tend to be extremely disciplined artists, but they're closer to a pixel per pixel photocopy machine than anything else.
Also, a lot of them literally use grids and analog "color-pickers" basically a pinhole through wich you see one spot's color isolated.
i dunno man i'm always confused about these types of artists, on one hand they're godly patient, constant and disciplined on the other, what they're producing is ultimately kinda nonsensical

I think this is basically on par with what you posted from imagination. Any apparent difference mainly comes from the fact that you chose a simple reference without much detail, and you didn't even finish copying it all the way. I'm pretty confident that if you actually did take a piece by your favorite artist and copy the whole thing, it would look better than anything else you've posted. Maybe you just have some sort of mental block against doing that, I dunno. You did say it was "tedious" and "less satisfactory" after all, but that's not the same as not being able to do it.

how to develop imagination (4u)
part 1
>get off 4chan sometimes during sunlit hours
>grab some supplies (go to is pencil, inks, water brush pen, watercolors, white charcoal/hi-light pastel, and toned sketchbook)
>grab a mode of transport (bike, legs, bus, etc)
>find something, someone, somewhere to draw (trees, fire hydrants, electric boxes, cars, storefronts) anything that captures your focus, and start filling those sketches
>b patient with self this is a repetitive and hard and straining process, take it easy, it never ends

part 2: now that you have somewhat of a visual library based on how shit actually works and looks like from real life with real lighting, you can do whatever
>go back to the internet and look for some prompts (mermaids, robots, etc etc)
>get OFF the internet and build it, on your sketchbook
>optional: transfer to digital

hope that helps a little

I get you. Imagination is building a reference inside your mind, then utilizing the same techniques to copy from a physical reference to your canvas.

anon, I feel like your copied work and imaginative work are not that far off either, and I don't say that as some sort of cheeky gatcha reply, the copied work has more gimmicks stuck on, but more of those don't mean a better drawing, as I used to hide my characters behind a bunch of accessories/non-form fitting clothing and they cover up mistakes and poor anatomy, and the face in the referenced drawing looks a bit less fucked but that's about it

I genuinely don't understand how you'd see this >>4590128 as being similar to this >>4590095, the former's angle is more difficult, it looks somewhat more three dimensional, and the features aren't falling apart like the latter, not mentioning the chicken scratch, the time that I've spent on both were about the same

I might be able to copy from reference if I really try, but man, I gotta really try, and I don't think I'll ever be able to do a >90% copy of just simple cartoon reference as you put it anytime soon, at the very best, I'd be able to recreate the similar pose and whatnot, the composition, and the clothing, for actual portrait and life drawing, forget it

my point is that imaginative drawing is definitely a skill that you can develop apart from reference drawing skills, and one could definitely be better at it while sucking at reference drawing, I don't say that it's a good thing to do, but it can definitely happen, I can count my attempts at copying a work in one hand iirc

my own conjecture is about the visual toolsets you get from fundies, I barely have those, maybe some half-right rudimentary construction method, but that's it, and it's still possible to make okay stylized drawing, but the process could be summed up as throwing shit on the wall until it sticks, where as one probably need those to draw from reference, I came across videos that tell you how to measure proportion using your pencil recently, and it really blew my mind, and that's just one small thing that'd benefit my reference skills

Decide to come back here after a while away, and of course, this board is still garbage.

To every single one of you retards in here "critiquing" proko, you are failures and will never draw as well as him. The proof is easy. Not a single image on this entire fucking board produced by this board is as good as what he produces. Instead of learning from people better than you, you get jealous of success and just try to post dry memes to make yourselves feel better.

Congratulations. You got him. Except you didn't, because nobody gives a shit how edgy you look on the internet. Retards like you will never get a job related to art or even be good at art.
