It's clear this board is for visual art and not literary works as evidenced by reading comprehension, but I'll say my piece anyway. I think it's
-tenacity
-a sense that you've been wronged and desire to prove the world wrong, that you're the best
-enjoyment in drawing
-high level of coom energy
-high IQ
-talent
-discipline
I have all these and more, so GMI

How important are the methods in Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson? Being self-taught at art for far too long I've gotten used to spending like 90% of the time staring at the paper drawing the subject than on the subject itself.
When I stare only at the subject, I draw like a fucking toddler with my lines all over the place with proportions that are retardedly exaggerated.

wrong, these are the proper signs:

Do you practice drawing every day, for several hours?
Are you healthy? Do you care for your health?
Do you sleep properly? Any chances of dying in a car crash in the near future?
Are you good to work with? Do people enjoy working with you?
Do you keep an orderly and efficient schedule?
How often do you tab to 4chan?

Being professional and orderly is far more important than IQ, talent, and coom energy

But somehow in drawings, when i try to find a similar group to have fun drawing together with, i'm trying to seek attention.
And somehow it translates into me not wanting suggestions or improvements.
And somehow it means i just want some asspats.

A $5k digital color meter is a professional tool you have no business owning, and won't have the rest of the tools and environment to make it not pointless.

AT MOST, a SpyderX or i1Display that run around $170 are all a small time commision artist or student would need. AT MOST, you just need to neutralize your screen. Color correction beyond that is pointless unless you have a specific path for publishing professionally.

Putting the color zones closer together will make the effect more pronounced. Do a larger polygon of yellow-green, a thin band of cyan-blue, and then medium strip of red-magenta.
Get them all up in each others faces, and have those sections separated by wide patches of greys.
Actually just do a color study of the bottom right jacket here >>4826396, that will give you a much better understanding of how things change than any amount of reasoning or verbalization.

[Anonymous No.4826765]

>white drapery and fabric you use blue, why is that?
Should be more cyan than blue, but you do this because shadows pick up ambient light, and when outdoors during the day, the sky is a huge source of ambient cyan light.
It bears noting that this isnt actually CORRECT in all lighting scenarios, especially indoors, but it is how our brains understand shadow, and it gives it more life than just using straight grey for the shadows.

Study life, and look at other painters' solutions. A lot of conventional knowledge about painting just comes from simple solutions that have been shown to work out well, as opposed to being EXACTLY how light works. It's not like you can trace every ray of light and track how it will be absorbed, reflected, and refracted on every surface and material- just study the macroscopic effects of light and progressively piece together a general idea of how it wotks.

I'm training my accuracy of copying stuff, using basic angles and lines (so I can get gud at blocking ref to copy and draw).

Is there a way to understanding 'scaling' when you're using digital pictures on the PC for reference? (from PC screen to picture)
I apologize for the incoherent question because its so cryptic to me that I can't put it in words myself- but I have some feeling that there's a reference/lesson that knows what I'm talking about.

[Anonymous No.4828282]

>>4828274
Not really. Any color works with any color. Every rule of color harmony is broken a thousand times over every day by great artists.

What’s important to the mood of the composition is value. Whether you want to paint a dark stormy night, a bright sunny day, a dingy interior, etc. value is what matters most.

Color theory is mostly there to teach you to replicate effects in nature, like picking proper skin tones, etc

I wish that could get added to the sticky. Loomis is great if you know the basics and want to get started with figure drawing, but he's not gonna teach you how to draw simple forms. The book starts with "draw a ball and cut off the sides" and most beginners I see can't even draw that step right, let alone turn it into a complete head. The problem is he gets skilled *too early*.

you could do what you show in the pic you posted or just use a pencil (ideally something longer since I'm guessing your issue is that your paper isn't A4) for measurement. Ideally you won't actually need/use a vertical/horizontal line for measuring as much as marking the length/width of what you're drawing (I say this assuming you're drawing figures, I don't know shit about landscape) and then measuring relatively from there. If this doesn't make sense I can try to make an example to show what I mean; I'm not great at drawing but I remember somebody who was taught me a lot of life drawing stuff that should apply to what you're asking

If I just want to draw porn should I learn to draw realism or for the style I want to draw in?

[Anonymous No.4836166]

>>4836096
What do you mean 'realism'?
You should learn anatomy, perspective, and construction. You should do studies from observation.

I'm studying perspective right now, and I have a question about measurement:
I know you can find the midway point of a rectangular plane by subdividing with diagonals. What I DON'T understand is how to work out precisely how much smaller something should get as it retreats into perspective.
For instance, if I am doing a perfectly straight railroad track receding into the distance in 1 point perspective, how do I know how much shorter vertically each slat must be on the page? For instace, if slat B is located halfway between slat A and the horizon line on the page, then how much larger is slat A than slat B? What is the mathematical proportion between A and B in reference to their vertical position on the page?

[Anonymous No.4837642]

>>4837612
To clarify, let's say the angle of the railroad track is 30°

Well if you're painting in digital yes. Also the chapter where he discusses shapes and drawing could possibly be useful for you. Other than that and the good advice chapter not much will help. I would just take a peek and set it back down if you're not interested.

Do u really need to go to college to get good at art? or is grinding fundies the better route whilst working?

[Anonymous No.4839567]

>>4839272
Just grind. I went to college for a year and the art classes i took didn't teach me anything i could look up on the internet and learn on my own. If you think college will motivate you to learn more than try it. I might go back myself, but maybe individual classes like marketing and such, not a for a full degree.

Best gesture site for clothing? All the usual ones have a ton of skintight suits in the clothing category

[Anonymous No.4839770]

Could any color and light CHAD answer this

If you have a key light with the spectrum of the color wheel on the left lighting up a green object then the object can only get slightly grey green at best since the light doesn't have his strong saturated green properties to reflect to the human eye

But if we add a weaker fill light with the spectrum of the right color wheel does it combine with the key light on the left and allows the object to get greener?

I do plan on going to college for like 2d animation and/or maybe marketing. Even though animation focuses more on movement, I just want my drawings to not look stiff and ugly when the time comes.

Been having fun lately grinding fundies at my own pace. I do at least one page of gesture drawing and another of just studies everyday to keep my workflow going. I draw more than that if I'm not too busy

I might just stick with that right now for like a couple years or less depending on how much I improve.

Is drawing or painting two separate skills?
Can a digital painting be considered a illustration?

I have a tendency to paint mostly on one layer.

is PS Cs6 much lighter than CC 2020?

[Anonymous No.4840543]

>>4839770
First of all, use a color wheel that isn't skewed if you want to be able to predict how an object's color will change with different lighting conditions.
Secondly, if you cast a red-orange light on a green object, it will appear yellow in your vision, not grey. If you then add a diffuse green light, it should pick up some greener hues in the shadows.

[Anonymous No.4840553]

>>4840327
>Is drawing or painting two separate skills?
Separate, but linked. For a painting, think of drawing as the skeleton and the paint as the flesh.

>Can a digital painting be considered a illustration?
An illustration is an image that tells the story, so of course it can.

>I want to draw like George Kamitani. Should I worry about lineart?
When you say lineart, what do you mean?
Do you mean drawing, or are you talking about line quality? Either way, Kamitami uses line in his illustration, it's just subtle, with a lot of lost line, and yes that requires knowledge of how to use line effectively.

>And using multiple layers if its just one character?
>I have a tendency to paint mostly on one layer.
Painting on one layer is fine, and makes painting a lot faster and more free. Breaking things up into layers and keeping them separate does have the advantage of making it easier to change one part of your image on the fly while leaving the other parts intact.
