Board: /ic/
"/ic/ - Artwork/Critique" is 4chan's imageboard for the discussion and critique of art.
This thread is dedicated to master studies, where you copy artwork you admire as a form of study. They are the quickest way to improve and learn about any fundamental you are having problems with. If you need to work on your hands, copy hands from other artists, and if you're having trouble with rendering, make careful studies of paintings with lighting you admire. Studies can be quick or long. You can even copy anatomy books like Bridgman, Morpho, and Hogarth. The type of studies you want to do depend on your personal goals and the types of problems you are grappling with.
Artists of all levels are welcome. Critiques and redlines are encouraged.

Previous thread: >>6134773 post them, realistic, anime or cartoon Should you treat your art account for business/professional or shitposting/personal? Why do internet artists rarely talk about progression and how they got started? They rarely talk about how often they practice or how they practiced. Of course I know they aren't obligated to but it's weird how so many just gloss over it. Examples of comic art styles that allow you to work efficiently while still having good visuals?
Today's /beg/ challenge: Draw an Atlantic bluefin tuna
If you are a /beg/inner or /int/ermediate in art, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice.
Use this thread instead of making new threads or post in the drawthread with fundamental exercises.

TRY TO BE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK.
When giving feedback, avoid vague "advice" - point what's wrong and try to give the anon you're quoting a clear direction to improve their art (study heads < watch THIS VIDEO about head structure, read THIS SECTION of THIS ARTIST'S BOOK, etc).
You, feedback seeking anon, should also try to be clear and concise when asking for critique/help. When posting your artwork, say what you want help with, and what's your goal with the study/artwork.
Previous thread >>6205242 >The Federal Law for the Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican People and Communities empowers groups to sue if someone without permission copies or imitates symbols, designs, or other elements of their heritage, “even in a degree of confusion.” It carries up to a 10-year prison term for illicitly producing or selling indigenous creations.
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/mexico-testing-limits-of-using-law-to-bar-cultural-appropriation I'm talking the likes of Heavypaint, Alchemy or EbSynth: Programs that bring their own take at digital graphics, and are not meant to compete with or replace other applications, they're just their own thing. Can be for 2D, 3D, animation or anything in-between. Thanks. Post and discuss art relating to mecha, robots, vehicle, weapons, and everything else that falls under man made object or machinery. Why was the last thread deleted? Why are there multiple AI threads but the janny deletes an actual art thread?
Anyway, this is a thread for schizos to share their schizophrenic art.
Why You Should Copy Anime:
https://i.imgur.com/zNDsyF0.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbKqIJcIUCw
**Strive for quantity AND quality.**
Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.
General Anime Style Discussion:
>Questions about achieving certain styles/techniques/compositions etc.
>Drawing methods, study habits, resources, tutorials, tools, software, etc
>Be specific and try to post a sample of your study attempts before asking for help.
**Draw copies from good anime styled references to mindfully up our mileage, internalize appealing aesthetics, and learn from each other’s processes and knowledge.**

>>6190312 This is a thread for ACTUAL beginners who've barely touched drawing in their lives. This is not a thread for intermediate/skilled faggots who post in /beg/ threads to fish for compliments.

I JUST WANT TO FUCKING DRAW Drawing cute things usually means giving them big wet eyes. But what do you do when you are drawing something that has none? Picture related. Has anyone here actually felt their art improve thanks to ic?
This is a thread to discuss all kinds of digital drawing hardware: non-display graphics tablets, pen display tablets, portable tablets and more.
Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284 [Open]
If you have any additional questions, ask them.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills.
>I'm thinking of getting the Wacom One, should I buy it?
Fuck off retard. Ask a better question.
Recommended tablets:
>Intuos 3
Best screenless tablet. Look for one on Craigslist or Ebay.
>Intuos 4, 5 & Pro
Also good options. Will burn through your nibs.
>Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Budget portable display tablet. Very solid drawing experience with Wacom EMR tech, but a small 10.4" display area.
>Used iPad Pro 2nd Gen 12.9"
Best option for a display tablet.
>Galaxy Tab S7+/S8+
Good premium alternative to an iPad Pro
>One by Wacom - solid cheap option (not Wacom One)
>Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand
Poor build quality, lackluster pens, broken tilt, struggles to register light pressure, horrible customer support and the displays are not calibrated. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are. Also watch out, Chinese companies shill HARD on /ic/; they do a lot of samefagging and frequently hurl personal insults.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
The N-Trig digitizer means you will always get wobbly lines.
>Lenovo
Bad drawing performance because they're not designed with art in mind.
>iPads (brand new) - Bad value
>iMacs and Macbooks
Never buy this garbage under any circumstance. It's a locked ecosystem with rubbish hardware you can't upgrade.

Previous thread: >>5979812 Show your work, social media and promote yourself Is it possible to translate the beauty of live-action cinema into 2D art?
In this thread we practice and share pieces of figure drawing, one of the most important ways of learning form, depth and even values, mostly focused but not limited to the study of the human body.
This is in an effort to train your observational skills and develop your ability to understand what you're looking at, how to simplify it and how to put it in paper.
You may want to:
*Practice at least 10 figure drawings exercises every day.
*Ask and OBSERVE others' works in order to implement useful approaches to your own process.
*Post no matter your skill level, the point is to learn, not seek outside recognition, if you get called a /beg/ that's par for the course.
*Use any medium you feel most comfortable with, be that digital or traditional.
*Draw as quickly and efficiently as possible, focus on the general form and DO NOT get caught in on the details.

What's your reason?
https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2022-03-03-art-our-sake-artists-cannot-be-replaced-machines-study
>When conceptualising human and machine creativity,
we find that artists highlighted a difference in scope:
while ML models could help produce surprising
variations of existing images, the artist is irreplaceable
in giving these images artistic context and intention.
As artists highlighted, the creativity involved in art-
making is about making creative choices––a practice
beyond of the capabilities of current ML technology.
Reflecting on their ML-based practices, artists
found many similarities with past periods in art history:
the code-based and computer arts of the 1960s and
1970s and the harnessing of randomness by much
experimental art. Many also found the generative
capabilities of ML models to be a “step change”
departure from past tools.
Ultimately, however, most agreed that despite
the increased affordances of ML technologies, the
relationship between artists and their media remains
essentially unchanged––as artists ultimately work to
address human, rather than technical, questions.

Last thread: >>6154942 Only the chadest of chad art books!
How are you doing? What chapter are you on? Questions or recommendations? 1.-Gesture is only relevant to figure drawing.
>Scott Robertson doesn’t use gesture
>Industrial design artist don’t use gesture
>Architects don’t use gesture
>KimgJunggi doesn’t use it (but he does use perspective)
2.- Even In figure drawing gesture is meaningless without perspective.
I don’t even mean basic 1-2-3 point. Gesture without perspective are literally just random scribbles because you won’t even understand what the hell it means in 3d space. You don’t even understand things get bigger the closer you are.
And all the teachers that say the opposite is because they forgot perspective they grasped perspective first it comes as second nature.
3.-People can’t even agree what “gesture” is.
Everyone has a different definition. At worst you get a “feel the energy” bullshit everyone regurgitates. At best you get a” line that cone ran the forms’ explanation which is not helpful.hatsoever.
Perspective IS the most important fundamental, not gesture. —Giving good critiques edition—

This is my progress after having a 6 month break off drawing. people in my painting class were really mad about how this got in first place, i don’t blame them lol, most of the stuff in the category were tributes to dead celebrities and other role models that people actually look up to,
imagine, putting your own blood, sweat, and tears into a project for the person that inspired you, who you loved, all of that work went down the drain once you see what’s been chosen for first place, a chad,

So, for the past couple of years, I’ve been making art that I do not feel comfortable posting directly on social media accounts. I’m not interested in trying to profit or become famous; I mostly want to let others see the stuff I made and get feedback to help me improve. I have been posting on /beg/ from time to time, but that place is far too crowded for me, and half the time, I don’t even get any helpful feedback. I have been thinking about making a Newgrounds account and my own website to post some stuff, but I don’t know if this is the safest thing to do.
The biggest problem I have is that although I enjoy making NSFW art, I still want to make normal artwork. I’ve seen many NSFW artists have difficulty switching over since people care more about the porn they did than their traditional art. Not only that, but I am also worried about my future as well. I don’t want ten years to go by and get fired from my job just because of some lewds I made years ago on an old account. Is there a way for me to post NSWF artwork online without risking someone possibly tracing it back to my identity?

Welcome to the third installment of /FG/ a general thread you may use to post Futanari, share references or discuss how to approach the anatomy behind a Futanari.
>Why a Futa/Trap General?
In order to prevent any disruption from the regular draw threads who do not wish to partake in pornographic content you may post your Futanari related content here instead.
>Is Western art allowed?
The term Futanari implies the eastern anime style, however you may post a Western style in order to accommodate the /salt/ generals.
>What if I don't want to post Futa? This is a red board after all.
Nothing will stop you from posting other forms of content but you may find that the other general draw threads may offer better chances of you receiving feedback.
>Any resources? What artists should I look towards to as an example of a Futanari?
You may find Futa content from >>>/d/ in the mean time as these generals are relatively new. The Futanari artist Efuya Messy may serve as an example of how you may depict a Futa. You may also find that Messy also illustrates the internal organs and other theoretical applications of his Futas which may prove to be useful in understanding the Futa form.
These generals are still in their development stages, there was an attempt to include Traps but the general sentiment was that because Traps are technically Males Traps/Femboys belong in the CuteBoyStudyGeneral /CBSG/. If you wish to provide feedback or suggestions about these generals or share any resources please do so. I would like to make art that shows how ridiculous Bitcoin is.
How do I do that?
I was thinking of making an excelcoin but that's not ridiculous enough. Why is it that all those academic artists like those in Proko, NMA, Watts Atelier, absolute suck at drawing faces? It's always those Tumblr esque YouTubers that draw the most aesthetically pleasing faces Does anyone here know some good channels/sites for drawing prompts/exercises? Stuff that motivates you and gets your pencil moving.
I like to do some of these prompts from time to time: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOCqaYZhg5xyNrXeGYoOGZJpR8TecprxS Are u better than a random 10 year old boy from nigeria? >Vilppu
I don't get it. is this supposed to be impressive? I am currently studying faces, so I am looking for refs, preferably not just the generic Pinterest girl with a blank stare. Also if you know of artists that draw good faces post them as well. So, what are Krenz Cushars, Feng Zhu, Craig Mullins and the rest of the Pro concept artists and Ilustrators thoughts on the new AI?
I can't find any of their thoughts, its gotten to the point where I am genuinely considering not bothering spending 12 hours a day grinding perspective anymore. Seems kinda pointless.
Anyone know what the pros think? Thread to post your studies by following Naoki Sato's method

Left is how I used to paint
>3 layers of shadows and one layer of highlights.
>shaded textures for different materials.
>used to get commissions
Right is how I paint now
>2 layers of shadows no highlights
>shaded grainy texture for everything
>not getting any commissions
I honestly like the way I paint now better, but I guess people are talking with their wallets.
What do you guys think? what is your favorite thing to draw? To get better at drawing as much as possible as fast as possible. The only solution is isolating your mind from anything but drawing and between you and the stuff you consume. Or in short, limit everything to only one thing, the urge to draw and observe the shapes of the world. When you get bored, when you are burnout, when you are working, when you are hungry, only drawing and observing.
It has been 1 day since I have been trying this method. I'm planning to use this for 3 whole months without day break. I also urge you to try the same, anon. This is the only method that can help you get out of your low beg stage. I promise 100% it will work, come along with me, observe and gather the beauty of this world into your sketchbook and let's improve together. Our life will change for the better. You and me. Thread to remind you everything starts from zero what will I achieve by grinding Hogarth's heads? >go through life being told you're great at art, get accepted to art course, be praised by teachers, peers, family
>add commission samples to a tweet you post that got big
>get replies saying i should get a new hobby that i should quit art entirely etc
whos telling the truth? The artist viltisvm is currently my art inspiration. I still can't manage to replicate his artstyle. I tried to play with "Threshold" on Photoshop, but the results weren't that good.
Do you guys have tips on having similar artstyle? Please use this thread for your stupid questions instead of creating another stupid thread. are this guy's tutorials a good way to learn anatomy if you are a beginner? How important is touching the subject to learning how to draw it? >Draw like a feather.
>Slow down and simplify

Also,

Previous thread: >>6203309 Thoughts on this character design? How much time should you dedicate to making full drawings in between practice?
Like say, 1-2 days/week new drawing, 5-6 days/week practice. Were anime artists in 2005 worse than anime artists today or is the difference just stylistic?
If you need a comparison heres the first 20000 images uploaded to danbooru which were all posted in 2005/2006 (higher page number = older image)

If you're interested feel free to share an image you like or think is "soulful" Sometimes you just gotta man the fuck up.
whosji Your best advice in regard to layers. What book do I need to draw animals like this? Okay, so Iv'e been studying "Keys to Drawing" by Bert Dodson, as per the sticky's recommendations. Iv'e been enjoying it so far until project 1c, where I guess I am supposed to somehow shade my drawing even though I know absolutely nothing about how to draw tone with a pencil? what the hell do I do? How on earth do I draw something with no clear boundaries like lines have? How to do smooth shading without making it look like dirty airbrushing?

It's even possible, like technologically possible to combine the limited techniques of modern anime, cut out, and stop motion, 3D and pixel art sprite animation, to produce a hybrid style that can look similar to traditional but takes 1/10 of the effort.
Basically mixing GGXrd techniques of toon shading, but like using it for the base limbs and core of the body, while you use something like a cut out system from 2D toon boom rig for the head and hand, while the fingers are drawn later in another 2D traditional animation tool like TV paint in some post process paint over, while the flowing skirts and hair are just traditionally animated by pen and paper, and later add in a compositing tool, and in a later step, do some post process where you paint over quickly some fixes and do like add inner drawing animated by traditional animation like flowing folds, then do some post process it to give 80's grainny style?
Basically, like a multi compositing paint over animated layer step.
1) Make the 3D base using stuff shit that doesn't really change, like human limbs.
2) Paint over to make it look 2D and fix mistakes.
3) Create a library of cutout hand and head shapes and ear and mouse and nose dots.
4) Create an animated version of the eyes moving in the scene, being traditionally animated, while tracing the scene.
5) Composite the head and hands into the 3D paint over animation.
6) Traditionally draw in pen and paper, keeping some printed frame reference, some 8-12 frame loops of the hair, flags and other windy clothes like skirts.
7) Paint those hair loops, using 2D painting tool.
8) Composite these into the other pieces, as some paintover.
9) Fix some errors using paintover.
10) Do post processing to make it seem like granny old VHS film.
There's not a single reason I have to think I can't separate my 2D animations into a 3D base using toon shaders of the static body limbs, fix with some quick paintover, then do two aditional layers. Why did you tell me this was shit? To anybody that has done an art book in full, which one was worth doing and which one wasn't? Been procrastinating from art for a bit because of college stuff. I want to git gud. I didn't like draw a box because he didn't explain stuff properly and fun with a pencil kinda talked down to me in a weird way. I kinda understand what symbol drawing is but I haven't been able to apply it to my "style" at all. Im also not the smartest, analytical or deep thinking individual ever. How does one get out of pre beg hell? Are your characters stuck in a perpetual void of nothingness? Do you loathe having to draw backgrounds for projects and end up phoning them in every time? Do you use the perspective tool & premade assets in your drawing software more often than you care to admit? Do YOU want to draw better landscapes? Then this is the pace you want to be to hone your skills.

One layer or multiple? How do you market your art? Is there a way to make the right connections without going to art schools? Can you draw good without pen pressure? especially if its digital? Left just seems vastly superior to right. What am I missing? How much do you think this costs What should I do if Ive been drawing for months with no improvement at all? The best I can do is draw boxes but nothing else and I went to figure/gesture drawing with literally zero to very very miniscule improvement from when I started 2 months ago. I've been drawing nearly everyday too.
No crabs please im on a pen tablet. idk what my pen sensi should be What is you most favorite work of pixel art? Does abstract concept art exist in the commercial space? Post your WIP if you're stuck, and get some tips on how to move forward/what is going wrong.
I'll start. I like the composition on my goose caricature but the lighting isn't working. It's a dark scene with a pink floodlight in front of him and an ambient blue glow at night. I can't figure out how to balance the lighting contrast without breaking the scene. (Turning him candy pink, making it not night, etc) What is the best and worst art advice you've seen on /ic/? In the market for some kind of figure that I can use as a reference.
Accurate/detailed anatomy and it doesn’t have to be posable. Any recommendations? For me, it's Ruby Redtooth. DAMN! PASTELS CAN DO THAT???

Previous Thread:>>6141646 How hard is it to get into the field? Is it easy to get commissions? I have no idea how much competition there actually is nor how much you can make drawing nsfw/furry stuff. I never considered it, because of personal/morality issues, but health problems came in and I could use the extra money. How do you even get clients? Ty in advance anon Sorry but an AI will never be able to do anything that look as good as pic rel I consider it a "fast food" gif as I made it in a relatively small amount of time. With animation, that is what I tend to do. Any advice on animation or general advice on focusing on big projects are welcome. Specifically overweight people. Is there a way to draw a fatty without drawing fat rolls or something? When are they going to give a proper update to this piece of shit? It's the 10th anniversary yet the best new feature they could add was a new splashscreen and icon. Zero big updates this year so far. >CTS, or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
, is a common condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and forearm.
>RSI, or repetitive strain injury,
is caused by repeated use of a body part, such as your shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist or hand. Symptoms usually start gradually and can include: pain, which may feel like burning, aching or throbbing. stiffness and weakness. tingling, pins-and-needles or numbness.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) specifically is caused by pressure on the median nerve in your wrist specifically whereas Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) can affect nerves, muscles and tendons.
