No need to make a thread if you only have a single question.

Don't know where to begin? That's understandable. You see, the first time you visit /ic/ you will see a stickied thread with a thumb tack and lock icon. That specific thread has links that will HELP you. Read that first.

The grid method is a pretty poor way of analyzing references. At best it's equivalent to a paint by numbers exercise used in middle school art class. You're missing out on valuable concepts like form and overall shape.

>>3357253
Care to be more specific? One way you can try is using a simpler shape (usually a rectangular prism) and just flesh it out from there.

>>3357569
Depends on your goals, but if you want to apply construction to whatever you're studying, there are a couple ways to go about it. What I personally like to do is copy directly from reference at first and then try to apply construction to it on the side until I can get it mostly correct. Or if you don't feel comfortable going straight in, you can try to apply construction (especially proportion lines) to get a less unbalanced drawing.

>>3357189
Surprised no one has replied, but it depends on what you mean by "fulfilling life." The short answer is yes, porn is at a much higher demand than fantasy concept art and you'd find a much better source of income through porn. Obviously it's up to you how much you want to dedicate your drawings to porn.

Using references is good even after you learn. You don't always have to use them though. There are construction techniques for that (a very simple example is LOOMIS which is why even though his art books are not realism based are still shared here)

The point of references are multiple:

1) Learn to see things as they are.
>Allows you to draw new things you haven't drawn before.

2) Develop more advanced symbols in your head when you draw without reference.
>Better symbols with greater detail allow for greater range of variables to get creative with

3) Practice skills you might not otherwise notice.
>This could go on and on really

4) Requires the use of the fundamental skills so you develop them further and can apply them in all art contexts if needed.
>Practice Practice Practice, harder practice accomplished = more gain

The problem with Gurney is that he's still using the color wheel. Once you understand that it's a color space things make more sense, and it's easier to balance. As for exercises, I'm not sure what you could do besides incorporating your knowledge into what you produce already. Fail faster instead of doing exercises to put off meaningful work.

It's entirely personal preference.
huevaluechroma.com will give you a better idea of what they mean.

Square is simpler to understand.
Hue is the circle selection.
up/down is value.
left/right is chroma.

HSV or Lab is my favorite color space.

a tip is to not focus on figures when you're learning colors. there's tendency to try and paint nudes but 'art them up' with funky colors, trying to apply what you're learning to a not very colorful subject. better to do landscapes or some such where there are a myriad of real and unsubtle color effects you can learn from.

thats gotta be really difficult to do accurately as it depends on the field of view and distance from the picture plane, and the distortions involved with extreme perspectives. id just go with what looks okay and not worry about it.

I have around 200 bucks to spend on new tablet, I liked my previous one (CTH480) the only problem I had with it was it size

here are some I'm interested in, wacom intous seems like the safest choice

huion has a lot of good stuff but apparently has quality and driver issues

I can't afford the new intous pro but I could go for the old version

what do you think /ic/?

I've got the Huion 1060 PLUS and it's really big and really nice to use. Sure it has driver issues but I first plug the tablet and then turn on the PC and it works without problems. I only have issues if I worked on the PC for some hours and then plug it in. Just restart your PC.

work with the highest and lowest values from the start and work your way to the middle. this will keep you within a value range.

i think about the ratio of light to shadow. if there is more light, i start with the base colors in light then add shadow colors. if there are more shadows i start with darks then carve out the light colors. instead of thinking in high, mid, and low values, try thinking in terms of just two chunks: light and shadow.

though it really depends on how you work. there is no right way.

Im training to be a comic artist, and Im also a freshman at college, and plan on spending the next 4 years here building my portfolio to show to employers once i graduate. Despite not being an art major, i still can practice drawing for like 6 to 8 hours a day because homework and class time is not really that long.
But. I do not have any social life at all except a few friends both male and female. And as pathetic as it is, i do not care about having basically no friend groups. I only want a gf.
So, this causes me to go through a phase where i become part of school club, frat, group of friends, whatever just for the sake of building connections where i could find gf. But, i only end up being apart of one for 2 weeks. I quit when I realize i do not give a fuck about any of these people or these club activities, and i just want to draw.
As a result, I have quit like over 5 clubs already and burned bridges with like 15 different people. I would not care so much, except, i have an everlasting fear of being alone.

Will i be able to find my waifu, even if i do make it and get hired in the comic industry? Will my future friend group be comic artists?

Mindset tips for drawing things you've never drawn before and absolutely hate drawing?

I only typically draw people and very occasionally draw backgrounds, but only of natural outdoorsy stuff. I need to design a fantasy sort of cabin and greenhouse for reasons but just thinking about attempting it or practicing so I can draw it sounds terrible. Straight edges are so boring and painful to bother with.

Thanks for the tips, fellow anons. My hyperhidrosis looks like this. Sometimes my hands are really dry, sometimes it's really wet cause of the excessive sweating. I've had it since I was a teenager. I tried washing, then drying it off, as well as applying anti antiperspirant before going to sleep. Shit doesn't work, it's really annoying because I can't draw properly, the paper and my drawing tablet's surface gets wet. Also I can't draw and grip the pen properly, shit is annoying af.

Yes I did, she diagnosed me with hyperhidrosis. She told to me try a couple of medical treatments. I first tried putting on heavy antiperspirant but my skin got irritated and I got a couple of rash from using it. So I stopped immediately. My hand sweating is seasonal and it depends on the climate of the day.

I'm a poor fag from a third world country in south east asia, so I can't afford surgery to stop my hands from sweating. Most of the medical treatment she suggested really cost a ton. I wanted to know if anyone here on /ic/ is suffering from the same dilemma as I do. For the mean time I am using a generic antiperspirant to make my hyperhydrosis bearable.

I like to doodle. It's great for passing time, dealing with clients over the phone, and just mindless fun in general. Throw a line here, toss in a circle, another line, and bam a few seconds have been used up successfully. It's messy, scratchy, and looks like trash, but I have fun with it. Thing is, the circles start looking a little unsettling. I don't want to give the wrong impression when someone looks to see what has my attention, but I still want to keep the same general pattern. Line, line, small shape, line, and whatever seems fun at the time.
I know nothing about art. Are there any simple styles that would let me dick around with a pen and paper, without changing the pattern too much and without the end result being something weird?

Hey /ic/ this is not completely art related but I was wondering if someone can help me. Since I got serious about my art, I dropped video games. The problems is, I tried other types of entertainment (books, anime, manga, western comics, tv shows, movies, etc) nothing is enjoyable anymore. I also tried to comeback to video games and most of them aren't enjoyable for me anymore either. The thing about video games is in the old days it always inspired me, fill my imagination with plots/stories and characters. But now even this is gone. I need something to bring my creativity and excitement back.

Shit doesn't work, it's really annoying because I can't draw properly, the paper and my drawing tablet's surface gets wet. Also I can't draw and grip the pen properly, shit is annoying af.

At least you're always lubed up for when u masturbate. That's kinda weird u must be like part fish or somethin.

meeh I'm a femanon so it's not worth getting sweat inside my vag. It'll get smelly, I don't want it to smell like rotten fish down there. I'd rather use actual lube instead.

maybe you cut out your friend time and you're lonely. or maybe you've overdone the discipline and you're subconciously seeing these things as a waste of time because they aren't drawing. but your art will suffer without interests to feed it. you will draw boring things. pokemon was based on its creators hobby of catching insects.

Then I'd say spend a bit more time, maybe about a week. Then move on to construction, then to anatomy.
But that doesn't mean you will be "done" with gestures by that time, mastery of it will take a lifetime. That goes for the other aspects in art too, from construction, anatomy, etc. You'll never be truly done with it. You're just going to have to constantly come back to it to patch holes from time to time again, so remember that art is not a linear process.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding this theory correctly, but this just seems like someone took the hue graph and the value/saturation graph and combined them in a 3D graph that's harder to visualize and adds nothing, except for the fact that you can use such terms as "traveling through space" to refer to just picking colors.

ideally you'd learn it all at the same time. unfortunately you have to start with one or the other. i like starting with figure and then supplementing with anatomy but you'll be spending equal time with both. start drawing people in movement but learn the anatomy underneath and it will make things a lot easier, especially shape design. however just learning anatomy can leave your work feeling stiff and clinical. so you have to balance them out.

Yes, while there's quite a few technical knowledge required in art, it really is a mainly intuitive skill that requires a lot of hands-on practice

Don't forget to mix in personal work with studies. If you wanna draw cool knights, then draw them. Maybe you'll fail on it, but you'll learn a lot and it will give you better understanding on where to focus on your fundie grinding.

All studies and no fun (aka personal work) will just kill your passion

Dude if you want to LEARN drawing you need to use paper. "too hard to fix mistakes"? That's because you're not supposed to be running around on one page of your sketchbook erasing the same line over and over again. You need to fill your sketchbooks and you need to accept that sometimes you will fuck up.
Pieces? Lol m8, begs don't make PIECES, they just DRAW. Pieces can come in a couple years.
As for digital, don't even think about it right now. Take Feng Zhu's advice and draw traditionally, solidly, for AT LEAST a year. By that point you'll have enough money to buy a cintiq instead of some shitty intuous anyway.

The BEST outcome would be to be able to just draw an eye well. Every beg artist bitches about drawing 'the other eye' but I don't give a shit about it, I've drawn so many faces that I just draw the goddamn eye.

The computer has some powerful editing tools, sure. It can salvage things better than paper can. But there is a big disjoint between you and the art when using a computer. If you're using a screenless tablet, FORGET ABOUT IT. You will stay a /beg/ for YEARS while traditionalists soar past you.

Even if you get a screen tablet, you will still be slow. When you use a pencil on paper, you are physically scraping graphite onto fibers. You are in physical contact with your work. With just a few shifts in your muscle work, you can change everything about a line.

Screen tablets EMULATE this, but they do not perfectly copy it. There is literally a glass wall between you and your art.

Just look at ultra skilled work artists, take for example my favorite, Jin Kim. Much of his designs for Big Hero 6 were done in pencil, and his amazing linework translates easily into digital when he uses it. But people who learn solely digital cannot backtrack into traditional. Even take Duster132, very popular photobasher artist who does some standard work as well. The included image is from his PAPER SKETCHBOOK.

If you want to be a well-rounded artist, you NEED to do traditional art as a mainstay. If you do digital art solely, you will be crippled by the sterility and planted nature of it.

You get faster with time and practice. I think Feng Zhu's thing is 'take the years of practice of a master and that's the factor at which they're faster than you.' A piece that takes a master of 30 years 10 hours to do will probably take you 30, or 300, depending on.

Just practice.

I’m just getting back into digital art and progress has continued where it left off... years ago.

Along this drive to self improve, I scored an airbrush kit right under $100. Cheap, but good enough to get experience. After research, my question is there anything else to note while airbrushing? My mediums mostly consist of large vilyl posters 60” x 90” to 12” x 20 posters that a store was ridding of for the new season(free canvases).

The vanishing point is usually on the horizon. If a picture doesn't have any straight lines don't worry about where the vanishing points are just make sure that it looks like you're looking up at everything above the horizon and down at everything below the horizon.

You can tell what perspective something has been drawn in because two or more of it's axis are drawn with parallel lines. Perspective applies individually to every object in a scene. In a lot of scenes objects line up with each other and so they all vanish to the same points but there might be other objects that are rotated at different angles and you need to decide what perspective you want to draw them in. Generally though you want to use the fewest vanishing points possible because it'll make your drawing easier to read (1 point perspective is the simplest and easiest to interpret quickly, were as lots of objects in 3 point perspective all rotated at different angles can be confusing).

I'm retarded and didn't see there was a questions thread up so I made my own thread. Here it is, copy-pasted:

My interest and end goal I would say with art is to become an environment artist in the entertainment industry. However, while I much prefer the 2D side of things, I see that 3D is really all the rage, at least in terms of environments/props, so I think I'd be more viable if I learned it. I'm still really just beginning with this but I was thinking I'd try to get more experience doing 2D stuff before getting into 3D.

Does anyone have experience with environment work? What are your tips/advice on getting started learning and getting better, along with if and when to start incorporating 3D? Also any software suggestions are appreciated.

Actual maps or fantasy "maps"? If the former I'm sure there should be plenty of resources available, but you might need to visit something like a university library if you want something about hand drafting maps. Though actually googling around I had some luck, so see what you can find.

This comes more from a outside view on it but if its like other hobbies its like this. Either you A) do enjoy the hobby but youve become burned out like ever look at your steam libary and dread starting any game? Its not that you hate gaming now its that your burned out the cure for this is to simply ease back do other things even a day or two not doing it can rekindle the love a bit. The length varies based on how burned out and how much you truly love the hobby. The other option B) is that you never truly love the hobby and are just doing it for an alternative motive. If this is the reason you dread drawing or playing viedogames or any other hobby you need to take a step back and ask your self if you never liked it why did you start? For drawing was it to get a job? To bring your ideas to life? Find what the real reason your doing this hobby and focus on it. If your in art or vidya to make money and you really wanna make money on doing it focus on the dosh. Not saying either of those are even remotely good reasons to do the hobby but you know examples. This is from someone who hasnt been drawing long but has suffered serious hobby burn out before.

I remember seeing some talk or website, it might have been for GDC or DND thing but it was geographically what makes sense when you're building a fantasy island. Like an archipelago will be an extension of mountains on the mainland and the way water will flow, creating cities, lakes, and deltas. It was pretty intuitive but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. It was here on /ic/ sometime in the past few weeks.
