yeah this will end well.

>>1398548
Stop being pessimistic anon.

>>1398544
I'll make a da group, because I don't want a bunch of people to start tripfagging. What should it be named?

>>1398553
ic-art-dominus (or whatever the plural form is) or something?

>>1398557
I was thinking something a bit more close-knit, but if nobody in interested then meh.

Here, it's a start.

>>1398544
I fail to see why everyone needs to trip. You can follow along without tripping. Believe it or not, many people can tell the difference between two different artists when they post their work. Especially if you anons are honest about it being YOUR work.

>>1398505 here
I was actually thinking of like, email or (at most) Skype...

>>1398586
Well there was that ic group in skype I'm in... but it's too crowded sometimes.

>I like teaching, but I'm neither officially a teacher, nor do I fully know what must be done to train you to be the perfect artist, or am I a master of art by any stretch; but you seem like a dependent, spineless type. We may benefit from each other.
Pft, what a joke, this is such-

>If you submit yourself to me, I will accept my role as your art dominus.
MY DIIIIIIICK

S-stupid sexy anon...

>Anons take this guy's mentoring if you really enjoy being belittled, insulted, objectified, threatend and if you like fits of rage, manipulation and stalking :).

Please anon, you don't even know what you're doing to me...

>>1398549
nope

artists are petty and need to be alone to work properly. just look at this board.

>>1398641
Apparently you've never had an artist friend. Artists tend to be drawn to one another and use each other as motivation, inspiration, so helping each other out is not far off. Look at this board, for all the bullshit and douchebaggery it gives, it still tries to help others when they can. It's not mere pettiness. There's a reason why artists are competitive. But that doesn't mean that they are not capable to be friends.

Don't push your silly values on others anon.

>>1398723
This.

That right there is part of why people going to art classes/groups/sessions get better faster than when they were alone. It's part teaching, but mostly to do with having those other artists around you. You walk in and are motivated to draw because everyone else is doing it. Maybe you're inspired by someone else's work. Maybe you see someone doing something awesome and ask them about it, critique each other, etc.

It's pretty awesome.

Oops, sorry!

It should work now.

I have like, no chance of making artist friends in real life or anything, can someone drop me their Skype and be my art buddy?
I joined the group, and I don't have my tablet on me til Saturday, but this is a good opportunity I think.

You can always hit up Kabir Shah
http://sketchypages.deviantart.com/

He's got a nice Skype sketchgroup going and always welcomes aspiring artists.

>>1399024
I checked out some of his tutorials and didn't really like his construction/gesture videos, they were kind of weird.
Still sent him a message inquiring about the Skype group though.

>Show me what you can make (every corner of your ability).
>And tell me your goals, or show me them via your favorite artwork

Captain Batman, have I failed to fulfill the first task in some way?

>>1399164
Nay, my Jayne. I am preparing your first lesson.

My Jayne,

It is Geometry upon which all of Art is based.
You must foster your appreciation for geometry, for without understanding in geometry there is none in perspective, and without which there is none in form, and without which there is none in light and motion, and without which there is none in texture and element.

>"Let no one destitute of Geometry enter my doors." - Plato

Embrace Geometry as a means of mastering The Art.
There is no doubt that logical thinking is the basis for The Artist's technical prowess, and most if not all wise practices require that you heed the eminence of Geometry, often without them recognizing it as such.

If a Mathematician does not appreciate Geometry, he is no Mathematician.
Likewise, if a Musician does not appreciate geometry, he is no Musician.
Thus, if a commoner (who thinks himself to be an Artist) dismisses the eminence of Geometry, he is no Artist.

Then read all of the entries in this website:
>http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/math5.geometry/unit1/INTRO.html
>For most of these long (but shortened) history lessons, there are "projects" to do at the end.
>Do every project that only requires drawing or calculating (asbtract work); something you can easily demonstrate to me with text or diagram.
>You may use third party uploading services (image albums, text pastes) instead of the 4chan interface to show me your work.

It is geometry upon which all of life is based.
Understand this, and you will strengthen your spirit.
You have until March 21st to turn in your studies to me.

Captain

P.S.
>From now on, you will open your posts with "My Captain,".
>You will always address me as such.
>As well, you will close your posts with "Jayne". Follow in my example.

My Captain-

>Here I go
