Penny for your farts

This make me nostalgic, thinging back at all those bad deviant art tutorials that for some reason got massively popular despite the author barely being out of /beg/. I guess the crudeness of it all makes it feel more approachable to a beginner.

Stop giving me false hope anon

I'm not sure if these shorthand tutorials actually help as opposed to actually studying fundies.

There's nothing crabby about that post, you sensitive /beg/.

>>5182781
okay crabby

>>5182466
you should study fundamentals but seeing it from time to time will help you to remember what you learned until it became second nature.

exactly the sort of shit i've been interested in lately
huge thanks
have this in return

>>5183232
Nice. You'd probably also like the posts on Gurney Journey about lost edges and painterly abstraction. I believe he has some on block-ins somewhere in there too.

>>5183218
what makes a blended edge and lost edge happen?

>>5183341
The sharper the shadow edge, the sharper the edge of the form. The softer the shadow edge, the rounder the form. Think of shadow as a turn in form, intensity depends on light position paired with how hard or soft the form is. Compare a box to a cylinder. The box always has hard edges, and every panel of the box will be a single value, yes? With the cylinder, your only hard edge is the sides and the top, the rest of a cylinder is very smooth, it is not a point like a box edge but a slow constant roundness.

Lost edge is an artist's abstraction to create interest. Think of it as softer than a soft edge. It is where form gets lost in shadow or value - where you might want to render out all forms, you choose to lose an edge in the shadows, making it interesting. The brain very much enjoys filling in the blanks of these lost edges.

Blended is between soft and lost. It is a subtle change, almost lost in shadow but barely the form shows through.

The only useful infographic ITT

this tutorials are mostly usless

>>5184485
Yeah, if you already know that shit or you are a /beg/ that doesn't know any better.

What kind of tutorials are useful to you?

>>5184512
None really, read books or watch courses instead, where things are actually explained.

>>5184540
Obviously preferable but if people are going to have a tutorial thread I'd rather see them checking out actual tips and art processes over "how to symbol draw an eye" or "how to draw bodies totally wrong from a specific angle"

>>5184544
i guess it's ok for a quick easy thing, like maybe teaching you a shortcut to do something, maybe a usefull filter in Photoshop or shit like that. But for complicated things, like perspective, composition or line of action, yoy can't rely on something like a small tutorial.

>>5183508
You're going to lead a lot of people completely astray with your strange mangling of those concepts...

>>5184540
>noooooooo it needs to be itty bitty baby bite sized so I can consoom it like yummy shitposts

>>5183341
I've been doing this for a while now and it works pretty well but I don't see other artists do it. Why?

>>5184786
yeah, i wish i'd had that photo to show a guy in another thread
foreshortening is trivial once you determine the position of the hand and shoulder
it's much harder to draw the arm without that information

Not that I learned much from this but the thought bubble alone makes it the most important thing I have saved from /ic/.

>>5184704
Its how it was explained to me, some explain this differently, keep it in mind. If you would like to explain better, please go ahead! Maybe it will lead to a better understanding for those learning on edges

what an useless thread, go draw fucking how to hoarders

>>5183202
so that's why my characters foreheads look so fuckin weird

>>5183341
Low contrast.
Out of focus/point of interest.
Darkness eating into silhouette.
Intense brightness breaking through the silhouette/light bloom/halation.
Motion blur.
These are all real world optical effects that happen dynamically, with the eyes constantly adapting to contrast and adjusting focus. Likewise, these are the two main things a photographer is controlling in their camera, focus and exposure. But a painting is a single moment, so the artist can choose to exaggerate or capture the most intense moments for effect.

this thread is cool

dicks, you say?

>>5186637
Do you have the one with all the animal dicks?
