Nicely done. Outside of an art class, it's nice to see blending like that, and to see it with a chamois and a paintbrush, that's something you can really appreciate. Never thought of using a paintbrush, I might have to give that a try on my work.

You make it sound like evolution or something. It's just tools, new ones come and old ones still stick around. One is not better than the other, they are both great with their own pros and cons. I love them both equally but for different reasons and apply them to do different things. Not everything needs to be the "bad one" and the "good one".

The artist does his traditional drawings on stream.
You can also find the drawings themselves in the manga. This wasn't originally ment to be animated it's just a meme he likes to do with having each manga panel be treated like a frame of animation.

Well he is right to a certain extent. Manga puts much more emphasis on drawing action, probably because is not as constrained by page number. Though there are western artists who do nice actions scenes. Like Tradd Moore.

He has other full colour paintings but they are mostly done for different cons and so on. It's too much work to do them for regular pages. Though he does colour covers for manga volumes.

Are you baiting me? You didn't make any points and all you gave was an analogy, that's just your opinion. Which I must repeat what I said earlier that they are equally unequal tools to get something done. I want a certain sound therefore I use this keyboard and when I want another kind I use this piano. Why does every literal thing we use need to be on a stack.

Yeah, I think if you draw a few less lines, our minds can fill in the rest of the shape of the mountain. With those many lines, it makes the side of the mountain look like it has water crevasses dug in, and that's too much detail up close if the castle is far off in the distance.

I like how you illuminated the top part of the leaves, and the clouds are nice. It's the composition that leaves a bit to be desired, especially that airship squeezed between the leaves and the floating mountain.

When you're ready to use them, I imagine you can place a couple of encyclopedias, dictionaries or something similar to flatten the wood back out to its original angle, I guess? The shrink wrap celophane's not that wound tight as to cause warp on the frame, moisture might have gotten to it. Try the books and place them all underneath the sun in a room, maybe the subtle heat will help.

I always considered Photocopy to be a function of traditional. In animation Xeros ( copying pencil line mechanically onto cel) has been used for a good part of the cel age but people only started referring to it as "digital" once they started scanning and digitally manipulating things in.

Is this yours? The flatness of the colouring can be addressed by continuing with layers.
Your main problem is dreadful composition, and non-existent perspective (the yard is going up into the sky). Don't end the muzzle where the posts end on the ground and the yard floor starts, it's a very jarring point in the prime area of the picture frame.
If you want to paint a horse, ditch the surrounding, most of your picture is the yard outside. Look at how Munnings painted horses.

I used CLY, Indian red & FUB. How could I have gotten the greens, they'd all be inherently olive?
Anyway, the point was to teach discipline, as I tend to use different colours depending if I'm painting a still life, portrait or landscape, so add more & more colours to my palette.

>>3762715
In a limited palette, you don't want to push the greens. You can't really compensate with warm colors. Nickel azo or even yellow ochre mixes balanced greens that play well with your warm earths. Shift your blue to iron blue or cobalt and you can get into garish territory. Or go for a middle yellow like benzimidazolone for more green without moving your blue.

It's really a question of whether you're limiting for the effects you get, say imitating the classical palette, or as a thought experiment.

>>3762736
The one thing I'd add is that the minimum effective palette I've used that wasn't for some experimental analogous painting or exercise in limited gamut was 5 colors. The yellow ochre, burnt sienna, ultramarine works up to a point, but if you throw in a warmish yellow and a magenta or rose, you have some serious range. Then 5 became 10 when I threw in venetian red, viridian, and some other shit for mixing convenience and textural effects.

The point I'm trying to make is that you have to choose your paints carefully if you're going to limit yourself. Sticking to modern substitutions for the 8 pigments that made up 99 percent of art before 1850 isn't the worst way to limit yourself. Landscape, rock face, bowl of fruit, some rich bitch; it's all the same. But then I'm edging dangerously close to needing a larger travel palette, not counting the half pans I use to keep it from rattling around.

There’s warm and cold tones in the brown background. You could use raw umber (cold) and burnt umber (warm).
The colour of the horse is more intense or deep. You should work more detailing in the grid.

I'm trying to figure out how do different paper types work.
I got textured paper block but it actually feels worse than mostly smooth one? I mean it's getting more pigment or pencil but I can't blend on it that well? It also doesn't retain water. Mediums: pencils, watercolor pencils with a brush and soft pastels. Also thin markers (pigma mikron sakura, rather premium here).

Are there any guides, videos or whatever on paper and its properties ?

Also on color mixing the mediums I mentioned earlier.

I think majority of the posters here are underage and not really attending any courses, classes etc. They just want to imitate their favourite deviantart artists. Traditional mediums might be too expensive for them, too. For digital, all you need is a tablet for 50$ and a computer. For classical you need to go to a store and buy stuff that costs.

Also this is too meta: focus on answering people who posted their works.

>>3768755
Any competent charcoal artist would have anticipated drawing in the shirt with the proper lighting and folds BEFORE darkening it in like you did. Not even a white china marker will save that.

And to reiterate on the hand, take a real good look at that. Where the hell is the back of the hand, in conjunction to the wrist? Do the fingers just, biologically appear out of the wrist, just like the head pops out of that dark void, somehow?

this isn't good advice. Kind of dumb. Particularly when you're talking about paint. Skin tones require their own palette pretty much. Why the fuck would you want a bunch of background colors playing at the same time as you're working on skin tones?

And why would you jump from skin tones to bg/clothes then back to skin tones just in the interest of "developing the entire image" at once?

Plus when you're doing portraits or tiddy paintings, the subject is the important thing. Why waste your good effort on the supplemental shit?

Yes but hadn’t done it on those two.
This one I did but I ended up messing up a few places cause the chamois isn’t precise enough for detail, and the brush isn’t stiff enough. Maybe I should try a bristle brush. I should use a bristle bright.
I’m starting to see that I gotta be patient and treat drawings like paintings I guess (haven’t really painted yet) and plan it out and do it in stages and take notes if it’s a pre painting sketch.
I keep shilling this drawing but I can’t help it, it’s the best I’ve done so far and I’m kinda proud of it.
That’s kinda embarrassing for some reason.

P.s. this is a good thread to post this info in...
So I’m using Stonehenge aqua hot press watercolor paper for this drawing and it isn’t turning out like I thought.
The paper fuzzes easily and has random grainy spots that are annoying and it cannot stand up to erasing hardly at all.

I went to wet canvas and found a thread where dedicated drawers mentioned a paper called conqueror. It’s made in the UK and I guess it super smooth, super white, super tough, can stand up to erasing a ton, and takes graphite easily making details and darks an easy task.
The guys in the UK use 90lb.


Only one seller in the U.S.

You gotta specify the weight and size and all that, but imma try it out and report back.

Gonna get the Diamond white.
Cx22 surface (smooth)
118c (weight 320gsm)

It’ll be a week or so before I order but I will let you trad chads know what’s up.

I guess all the dedicated UK guys swore by a certain paper ( I forget the name), saying it beat arches, fabriano, all of them!
But then it got discontinued. But the conqueror paper is the equivalent and now some artist uses his website to sell individual sheets to artists in the UK from the bulk orders the factory sells.
So, in other words, it looks to be good stuff.

Well to begin with you shouldn't have that wide of a pallet, I think convectional wisdom is 3 to 5 colors. You do it so you can develop constancy throughout the entire painting, It's the old "draw the eye first" problem, eyes look great but now you have to change the orientation of the head to match them.
So, you go, under drawing big to small, then under-painting (if you do any), all the darks, all the mid-tones, all the highlights, then polish. Always Big to small.

So your argument is ad hominem? You gonna attack pict related when post nothing? You literally have nothing to show for yourself and you're giving painting advice?

Post a single painting you've ever done in your entire dang life. If you had any experience with that shit you'd pretty quickly learn that your advice wasn't practical and is even kind of self-sabotaging. Having more wet areas on the canvas at once creates more opportunities for fuck ups. Having a ton of colors playing on the palette at the same time creates more opportunities for fuck ups. Doing the background first often makes it harder to the subject without getting skin tones on the background and then having to touch up the background with more paint later. Using a ton of different colors at the same time means you gotta constantly be switching brushes or spending time cleaning brushes. There are so many reasons that when it comes to painting, particularly portraits, that you kind of often SHOULD concentrate on one area at a time. There are a lot of reasons why you don't necessarily want to "develop the entire image slowly over time."

>Well to begin with you shouldn't have that wide of a pallet, I think convectional wisdom is 3 to 5 colors.
Yeah and the colors you use to build flesh tones are generally pretty different from the ones you use for a background or clothes. Like looking at >>3766707 looks like Bri guy used some of that blue in the background in the shadows on the skin and eyes and stuff, but like if you're working on something with a lot of weird secondary colors like green, or like black, even having that shit on the palette when you're doing skin is risky. Any of that makes it way into the goop and it gets all dirty and muddy.

That's my speariance at least. Like it's one thing if the background/clothes have the same/similar colors as what you're using for skin tones, then yeah just spiral out with the leftover paint and do the background and "develop the whole image slowly over time" or whatever. But the idea that you should set out to be hopping around and shifting focus and changing brushes back and forth just cuz isn't good advice.
>It's the old "draw the eye first" problem, eyes look great but now you have to change the orientation of the head to match them.
my meme is generally do a 2-second loomus ball then I start with an eye and adjust the loomis ball if I drew the eye a little too big or small, and then the proportions are kind of locked in from there and just build out.
>So, you go, under drawing big to small, then under-painting (if you do any), all the darks, all the mid-tones, all the highlights, then polish. Always Big to small.

I mean you can. I used to. I've been doing a gesso layer and a bunch of underpainting layers like on pict related. Did all the meat colors and had a fag and a cigarete.
>That's recipe for all the bad ends in this thread.
I feel like it depends on time concerns and how long you think you're going to be practically interested in continuing to work on it, particularly if it's not for anyone or anything. Like yeah if someone is like, you have an hour to make a painting, then yeah you can't obsess about only building values on the skin tones or whatever.

But when you look at works in progress paintings from le masters and other famous types, they often would spend fucking FOREVER on the subject and as an afterthought draw in a quick deformed dog or whatever.

here is maybe my least favorite of my paintings, and one of the major reasons I hate it is that I DIDN'T first focus on nailing the most important part, the faces. Instead I spent like 5 hours or something just painting and learning how to paint the bike and the jackets and stuff, and then when I tried to fuck with the faces at the end of the day I made bad decisions with dirty brushes. At the end of the day all the labor on the supplemental shit doesn't matter because the first thing the eye is drawn to is the aggressive black paint mess all over the skin tones.

If you're painting a person as the subject of the painting, I think it's better to expend your better efforts on the subject. Because then even if you drunkenly phone in the back half or just space out or get lazy at the end of the day, at least then you're just fucking up clothes or trees or background doggies or whatever.

idk it's some kind of masochism thing. It means more to me as a monument to my mistake than I think it would if I went back and worked on it. The feelings I got and had and the scents that I knew I was driving off the cliff and tried to make it work anyway idk. Using black on skin tones by that point had become something I just did when I started to get bored or frustrated or started to dislike the painting. And that painting was kind of a crescendo or low point or whatever.

Not that I'm not going to work on it again at some point.

Fuck all that noise about paper, switch to charcoal immediately. It's better suited for the type of work you're doing. It will behave well on many kinds of paper. I used it mostly on newsprint so I could be not too precious about the work. Pic is from '15. Best part about charcoal is that you can work faster.

You want prang medium hardness wrapped charcoal pencils. Use sandpaper to sharpen/shape them. They break in shipping a lot, but the unbroken ones are so good they're worth it.

Also,keep going, you're on your way.

But I do know your advice was filled with right intentions, and who knows, maybe right, flat out instruction.
I frankly don’t know.
Not sure if my stubborn ego is at play:)

I've seen 6 months, but if someone wants my painting right away, do I leave it up to them to varnish it?

>> No.3775488

In general, no. Don't assume a buyer knows anything about varnishing and will be willing to finish your work.

>> No.3775492

>>3775484
Also I've heard it depends on how thick your paint is. Apparently if your paint application is thin you might be able to varnish after a week or so.

The 3766707 version looks better. I’m guessing that’s the real paint version. The box behind was better composition and perhaps the other version was cleaner. This is just my opinion. Sometimes we overwork something or change it in a way that isn’t as well executed, but doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing, we have to press on and make mistakes before we get better at that next step. This is only advice/opinion maybe others think it’s better. But I don’t want to discourage you from trying to do more to your paintings just because it seems like it didn’t work out this time because by pushing further and doing more even though it might change the painting for the worse, you were learning and going past your working comfort zone.

okay there faggot since you keep going on about "forgetting not to draw the lighting on the shirt", THERE IS NO LIGHT ON THE SHIRT IN THE PHOTO YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER, it's in darkness and so its drawn in darkness. as for the arm and hand i haven't finished the arm, the position of the hand is adjusted in progress but not much, and is in acceptable alignment with the photo. so no, i didnt 'forget' that you cant erase to perfect white, but also if you were half of the critic or artist you pose as you would realise that i could easily make it white with a layer of fixative and a WHITE PIECE OF PASTEL SHITHEAD :D!!!!

so in conclusion, your first criticism is ignorant that the source is in harsh lighting where almost all the shirt is black, and the hand isn't developed because i haven't worked on it yet. Now please, post your work and if it's actually any good i'll suck your dick.

get on with the times grandpa, the meaning of words change. What was modern art 300 years ago isn't modern art today.
And I've never heard anyone use traditional to describe art unless they were talking about the medium, like we are in this thread
