You just dont look in the right places. Stop using your social media shit to look for trending pinup artist and actually search for real artists.

>>4768601
What is this "technical skill" you are directly referring to?
Most art is 1/5 skill and 4/5 time.
Even so, most art "professionals", or really any "professionals" barely know what they are doing which is why they have such a hard time teaching people under them. They usually hate teaching people as well because it exposes how little they know.

>>4768665
Well then, post artists you consider fall on that level. (Watch how he doesn't)

Not true, there are many ateliers in Europe and Russia that teach technique and precision. A surprising number of present day artists can paint at the old master level. I encourage you to get on instagram (really) and search for Repin Academy student works and related pages. You will get tons of examples and lots of related hits. It makes me hopeful desu

The only artists that want to larp as a renaissance master are beginners fascinated with technical masturbation for its own sake, and wannabes. Literally no different than donning knight's armor and trying to go on knightly adventures. Or guys walking around with folded 1000x samurai swords.
It's fine to be interested in the historical and aesthetic value, and even to be influenced by it, but it's cringey as fuck to sincerely to try to BE a knight or a Da Vinci in 2020.

Don't you find this incredibly tiring?

Projecting what? I'm definitely not trying to larp as an Italian polymath from 5 centuries ago, you can be assured of that. There's also no point in posting my work, it won't live up to your reactionary standards. You've already set the absurd condition that unless an artist lovingly paints every muscle and tendon of religious figures writhing in agony, they're some shitty amateur who's only pretending to be an artist. No one who knows anything about art is trying to paint in a limited palette of sepia tones anymore, because blue isn't scarce anymore.

No one is trying to do that. Why can't people discuss things without going into outrageous comparisons

>>4768811
No, i just know you draw bad anime porn and your seething at the concept of someone being better than you.

wrong

You have to see how your OP comes off a certain way.
The old masters' methods suited a time and place, in the same way a knight's armor suited a time and a place. You wouldn't clad yourself in steel bodysuit in modern warfare.
Skim an old treatise on perspective and you'll see what I mean. It's fascinating in its own right, but you might come to appreciate why nobody's treating the subject of perspective in such a laborious manner anymore.
So when you ask, Where are the ninja turtles? it just feels fucking silly to me. You notice nobody ever asks, Where's the orthodox religious iconography? Of course not, it doesn't demonstrate high technical skill, so it must not be as valuable as art that does. The real reason why we don't do either anymore is because that was then and this is now, and you can't divorce art from its historical context. There are still artists doing interesting things, even to a high standard, if you look for them.

>>4768767
>t. burnt out traditional artist turned to coping comic cartoon artist

Technical skills don't mean shit if there's no passion or creativity to go with it. So I don't really care if we get the ninja turtles again. They've come and gone. It's time for innovation and change.

>>4769064
passion and creativity doesn’t mean shit if there isn’t any technical skill to go with it. innovation and change reached the end of its lifecycle when people started dripping paint onto large canvases and calling it the peak of creativity. i’d take more ninja turtles over “artists” that forgo technical skill for “creativity” any day

Fine, here's a preview of one of my pieces in progress. Now post yours

can you repeat the question?

>>4768601
If anything there are more artists who can draw beautifully, and you can find them much easier. OP, you’re just a beg who has very narrow taste, and haven’t been into drawing, or art very long enough to appreciate it. Lurk more.

>>4769476
Is your image supposed to be inspiring? LOL

>>4769329

was this generated by an AI?

how long until you can program them for hyper specific styles? I'm scared boys.

>>4769547
You are proving his point, stupid beginner

>>4769352
You're not the boss of me now!

>>4768601
What a stupid fucking post, I bet you think Da Vinci is more technically skilled than Rembrandt or Vemeer because he paints every individual eyelash and nose hair

>>4768601
you know that ateliers are a thing right?

>>4768763
incredible

>>4768729
Some ateliers require a university degree in art to bne admitted. My permanent record prevents me from transferring to a university.
