Grace is horrified to realize that she's dated three men from the same family. Will and Karen get on each other's nerves at the office until they bond over watching -- and producing -- their own little telenovela.
so i realized that photo-bashing is pretty much a required skill for the concept art industry. forgive me because i don't understand too much about it.
1. i used images off google for a matte painting: the artwork in question is not being sold anywhere, just going to put it up on my portfolio website and DA and such. will i get into trouble?
2. how much of the photo(s) can be manipulated until no one comes running at me with a lawsuit? like if i cut out a tree or a hill to use on a painting (like 15 to 20%...
There is also this Feng Zhu guy I heard about here, but he seems to be an elitist prick from what I've heard
Hey anons! I'm going on vacation in a few days for two weeks. My plan is to just drink, read, and workout but I really want to learn how to draw and think itll be a great time to do so.
A couple pencils, a kneaded and a block eraser, a snap-off knife, a sketchbook and maybe a few micron pens.
I always see people who go in for art classes and ateliers and stuff say that they have to get the students to unlearn all sorts of bad habits.
What are they talking about familialia? Are the schools just shilling for themselves or are there paths you go down that will hold you back? I'm talking technical things, not motivation stuff.
Yeah there are. Drawing in "styles" like anime or cartoon when you're a shitty beginner trying to draw a life study
So I am considered to be on some kind of fucked up "legally blind" scale because of a visual impairment I have. My eyes are shit, but what kills me is that I have nerve damage in them to the point where I see everything off that it actually is in reality.
It's very annoying, and it has left me bumping into many walls, dropping nearly everything I try to touch, and not allowed to drive.
It makes drawing extremely difficult for me. I can only zoom so much, but are there any other good tools for visually impaired artists? I use the fuck out of ruler...
I just work more with my imagination, I cannot copy, but I can build things alright. And work planning a bit before hand. I also see badly. Somehow, people likes it and tend to think my work is great even with its flaws. I'm slow as fuck, tho, so I will never work as a pro,
So I did a MS paint along to old Bob Ross. Came out better than I was expecting. See the pic, but for those of you willing to go through the pain of watching. https://youtu.be/nwbFrspQsZc. Don't be too harsh.
I'm not exactly sure how to do twisting forms in space when they become more complicated than a cube.
My biggest problem has been over coming my flat art. I feel like I've gone pretty far form where I was, but I don't know how much I should fixate on 3D forms.
So... I got permanently banned from paypal. Now what? What other ways are there to accept payments for commissions? Does anyone NOT use paypal, or accept money without showing your name?
I've heard about this thing called stripe which is just a direct credit card payment; don't take me at my word though because I wasn't really paying too much attention. I'd look into that.
I recently picked up a small pack of them and messed around with it for the first time this evening which resulted in an ok-ish looking whale.
Even though I'm using shitty thin paper, I think it was a lot of fun, and a bunch of art that I could find looked really cool.
Btw. elhuervo (a person who made music/art for hotline miami) uses watercolor a lot, and some of his stuff is really good in my opinion
joseph zbukvic and russell flint are two I know, also am looking for more good artists who use watercolor.
Does anyone else here do traditional art because of the possibility that the internet and computers may not function one day?
like say for instance , the whole world goes crazy and gets nuked or emp'd or say they make the internet shut off for civillians. your digital art will not survive that, art on traditional mediums will survive (if it doesnt get evaporated that is).
i think that is the real problem with digital art is that it relies on the computer and the internet for its success. thus making it somewhat impermanent in compairison with traditional.
>i think that is the real problem with digital art is that it relies on the computer and the internet for its success
That problem affects a lot more than art. If the world's infrastructure fails that much, art is going to be the least of your worries. Long-term archiving of digital images is an actual problem, but there are plenty of solutions. This is a stupid reason to avoid digital.
oh i dont avoid digital for sure, i know its important to use digital in professional stuff , but yeah i just like the fact that traditonal is on physical objects and is safe from website shutdowns or computer failure.
I did this watercolor/white gouache sketch in a coffee shop of these two old women talking. I recognize that the quality of the picture is shit, but I'm wondering what else I can improve on. Should I grab a smaller brush? Should I spend more time planning/drawing? What can help my paintings progress? I'm worried that I'm plateauing because I need more third-party help.
Medium is watercolor/white gouache on Moleskine's smallest watercolor book. I think it's 5 x 3.5 inches or something close to that.
My bet is that you don't want to hear this, so you can keep being cute with your moleskine, but the #1 thing I think you can do is work bigger. Like, 3x bigger. Right now you can cop out of detail like faces because its so small. You also have a much easier time managing the wet/dry mechanics of the whole image.
DESU it look pretty good, but a big part of that is the small size hides your bullshit messiness. If you honestly want to get better and didn't just start this thread to show off, start working bigger immediately.
I can paint larger, but I have a hard time carrying around large watercolor paper for coffee shop sketches like this.
Is the ability to copy photos exactly( in other words photorealism) a necessary skill? Is it possible to be a good artist without it?
I was never that good at copying photos, let alone achieve photorealism, though I could draw from life rather decently(again not to the hyper detail of photorealism)
Perhaps if I put some time into(and by some I mean A LOT OF TIME) MAYBE I could get something KIND of close, but again I'm not very good
CAIRO: Archaeologists discovered what could be the most finely decorated mummy ever found in Egypt, Zahi Hawass, the head of Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities said yesterday. An Egyptian archaeological team led by Hawass, digging near the Saqqara pyramids, found the mummy, which dates back to the 30th Dynasty (380-343 BC), last week.
"The sand revealed maybe the most beautiful mummy ever found in Egypt," Hawass said at the site, 25km south of Cairo. "The mummy is so beautiful... The ancient Egyptians drew maybe the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen in my life on a mummy."
The 30th Dynasty was followed by Persian rulers who occupied the country for about 15 years before the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great took control.
