not trying to get into an argument with beloved hanami but i'm just saying that we can't begin to imagine what kind of knowlange old and new (present) masters have over human body

#

yes, they know anatomy like ik myself

whole cloak
#

like knowing why the digestive system works or why muscles flex isn’t helpful for most artists but it’s helpful to know placement and proportions and how they work

lament stump
#

knowing how they work is cool cuz you know what you draw and why

#

I don't wanna say I envy thoes masters cuz they didn't get born with it they put many hours into it, i just admire them and I'll work to be like them

#

frazetta is very inspiering for me

#

aka "god father" of fantasy art

can i draw her DurandalPeek

i feel like something is missing

i dont wanna start coloring yet bc of that someone help😭

Line art is missing

#

If you approach your coloring with line art 1st that is

its coming together

#

this is what my art looks like i dont need lineart

#

the head was very big and boxy so i fixed it but it still feels bland

full solstice
#

with the hairband, you feel like there's some wind blowing or some sort of movement

#

but her hair doesn't follow up with that and neither do her clothes

#

ooooh

full solstice
#

they just stay still and very stiff

#

yeah i see that

yep

#

although don't ask me, do you yourself feel like it looks better?

This is the finished one

craggy smelt
#

Can someone tell me my mistakes?
It looks quite wierd

glass glade
#

im not that good myself especially not in trad art but i feel like the head should use a little more work

#

and placement of facial features

whole cloak
#

what deedoode said, the face is asymmetrical (mostly the eyes, try using a ruler)

The jawline (where the face starts sloping in to the chin) should line up with the middle of the mouth, not with the nose

craggy smelt
whole cloak
#

in general when I do trad I take a photo of it while it’s wip then flip it to find mistakes

craggy smelt

Is there was something that weird or everything is weird?

shadow nebula
#

Hands are too small, eyes are too close, arms are too short, neck could be thicker but thats stylistic so up to you

onyx breach
#

every part is off the marks, hands too small, no shoulders, neck too long for the body and hand, angle of the eyes suggest that her head is tilted slightly upwards yet the shape of the face suggests that it's not, not to mention, mirrored eyes

Um... Ok..

Gonna draw HOF, my pose so far for her.

lament stump
#

I'm pretty happy with what i acoplished at todays art class

#

I'm starting to learn drawing figure

#

Then when i get that down I'll go onto depth in anatomy

#

My art teacher sat next to me and started drawing the model

#

The man drew him in 30min and it looked like he took a oicture with his phone and printed it out in black and white

#

I'm truly inspired now

lone wagon
#

That's good that your art teacher can draw

lament stump
#

lol

#

i heard stories of art teachers who can't draw

#

but it doesn't mean they are better teachers

#

some master i forgot the name said this about his teacher "he could teach it but he couldn't do it"

lone wagon
#

My teachers couldn't draw and they couldn't teach.

#

Decides to do the skin for HOF

#

U can tell a bit more with the rough colours

full solstice
#

Is the sword a bit off?

lone wagon
#

I don't even know what the skin sword looks like

#

Haven't researched into it yet

#

So did it blank so far

full solstice
#

It looks off a little

lone wagon
#

Probably it is the first sketch still

full solstice
#

Yeye just wondering

lone wagon
#

Its curvy when I flip it

#

But im not too bothered about it since I usually do a second sketch for the details and to make everything make sens exD

lament stump
#

Idk if that's how it should be

#

I also think with that purple you made her belly go on for too long, the legs should start a bit sooner

#

I figured that cuz torso lasts for 4 heads

#

Girls have 6 and a half head to 7 heads total

#

But legs should make half

#

Yours is 4 to 3

lone wagon
lament stump
#

Love the pose

#

Its dynamic

lone wagon
#

The thing coming off is crystals

#

Wait idk how to explain without u seeing the skin

#

I just didn't really draw the dress veey well so just did random plops of colour since I am trying to go into honkai

#

I have the skin cuz i whale skins

#

But its downloading the new update

#

So frustrating

whole cloak
lone wagon
#

For sure the dress sucks atm, I just freestyled it from the very blury references I found on Google

whole cloak
#

makes sense
also push the shoulder in front a bit back (to the right) since rn it looks tight like she’s shrugging her shoulder

lone wagon
#

Shes that op that shrugging at enemies became a common thing

lament stump
#

she has a sharp boob o.o

#

i got muted cuz i said i would give her a yandere face cuz my ho...y is getting out

lone wagon
#

Kiana is definitely not a yandere

#

But she is mihoyo's daughter, how dare u offend her

#

Gonna put a black and white gradient map over it ans then gonna carry on tomorrow with a more defined sketch

#

I don't know if I should do lineart, I think ill just go straight to colouring after the 2nd sketch

lament stump
#

I don't get the point of line art anymore tbh

# lament stump some master i forgot the name said this about his teacher "he could teach it but...

basically 95% of critiques ye, they just like to point out stuff that can be improved but ultimately...cant make a better version of stuff theyre critiquing at which honestly pisses me the hell off but i can understand why. The critiques dont need to be the same skill lvl as the person who made the stuff they're critiquing because at the end of the day, humans see the same thing with the same eyes but has a different view of it subjectively.

onyx breach
hardy yew
#

lmao

shadow nebula
#

not doing lineart is fine, its not dumb

onyx breach
#

what i meant is that ofc his artstyle changed to more of a realistic approach, that goes without saying that you dont need lineart anymore but in the 2d artstyle its still necesarry

shadow nebula
#

not necessary, mainly a stylistic choice

pliant saddle
#

I do 2d style but no lineart KianaFish

lone wagon
#

I don't really get critiquing sketches unless like the head isn't even attached to the body or soemthing is really wrong.

#

Because isn't the whole point of sketches is to get the shape to mske it easier to either paint or to draw a neater and more accurate lines?

#

It's not meant to be perfect.

#

Its just there as guides

#

If a real professional artists disguised themselves for some random reason and started to send a sketch on this channel I bet you guys would still critique it.

molten flume
#

also, is being realistically proportionate is needed? its their preferences, even a professional
artists/ illustrators do even like bigger busts or legs but its not a bad thing

lusty hazel
shadow nebula
#

its why you should only critique if someone asked for it

lone wagon
#

I'm more bothered by the fact that people here critique as if the person drawing don't already know that they need to fix that.

#

Its literally a sketch, what u want them to do? What's the whole point of a sketch if everything is 100%. It won't be called a sketch then

#

Do you have that little faith in one another that you think pointing out everything little thing that looks a bit off to someone is needed?

molten flume
#

Its just the only problem is the thing called "perfection"

lone wagon
#

I think people here genuinely want to help but they end up going overboard.

onyx breach
#

Bruh im busy af to even follow a proper convo. You think Id rly give booling the time of the day?

lone wagon
#

Not me delay, I don't personally think you even go out of your way to do mkost of these things

onyx breach
#

It aki and shik who have critique fetish, im insanely busy as it is and the only time I can talk is when I'm taking my precious tiny breaks

lone wagon
#

Ik this is gonna become an argument but I reslly wanted to point out the insanity of this chat rn

#

Its not a comfortable place for artists to discuss and share art anymore

#

U can't send anything even if you're proud of it without someone trying to critique u

onyx breach
#

Its just mostly 1 person

molten flume
#

i could only feel its aki who critique like gordon ramsay

lone wagon
#

But Gordon ramsay is a professional

molten flume
#

lets just leave it, dont mind him its getting on my nerves

lone wagon
#

Okay...

onyx breach
#

I think aki is just in a phase where you finally got your feet wet with these things and you suddenly feel confident that you feel like you already know everything when in reality you know Jack shit about it, it'll subside. He'll mature...hopefully.

shadow nebula
#

there is also the issue here that people give bad advice due to lack of knowledge like anatomy. People shouldn't be giving critiques when not asked and when they are at a lower skill level than the person they are critiquing

lone wagon
#

I don't wanna name names, I think people who do this and read through this would already know themselves

shadow nebula
#

unfortunately most won't

#

and for the skill level people just aren't aware of theirs

molten flume
#

he'll learn it hopefully

shadow nebula
#

everyone here has a lot to learn

molten flume
#

yeah we do, from art mindset and skills

#

anyways, lets go back to the usual art stuff

lone wagon
#

Even professionals say they have a lot to learn srill so it's obvious that we have even more to learn.

#

Shes cute.

#

I'm obsessed with characters with horns

molten flume
#

yeah arknights do really give horned waifus

lone wagon
#

Everytime I try to make an oc its hard not to put horns on them xD

lone wagon
#

Also aki here's an example of something that doesn't follow the measurements. Those rules are easily broken with camera angles.

#

This arm is obviously too long but it works.

#

I forgot the name given to this type of perspective. I ain't good with the technical stuff

#

Do you know @shadow nebula the name of this?

shadow nebula
#

its fisheye perspective

lone wagon
#

Art is something that's always breaking rules so don't feel you have to always follow them otherwise you'll end up coming face to face with many walls.

#

You're looking to become and artist after all not a surgeon.

shadow nebula
#

the one thing with breaking anatomy is that you need to have a solid understanding of it to do that. Yes you don't need to know it, it won't look as good with limited knowledge or none at all, but if you're goal is to go professional then in that case you do. Art is really about your goals. Its why when i give a critique its only for what someone asked never about stylization (or anatomy if they don't care about it)

lone wagon
#

Yeah it's true with anatomy but what I mean is in general, artists breaks a lot of rules all the time not just within art but reality too.

um i know pupils are supposed to be looking the same way but if someone's looking down at where they're biting, it'd make sense to make them a little cross-eyed right? and pupil near the bottom of the eyes?

pupils are generally in the center of the iris unless we’re looking from certain angles

And i really need help with the blank spots!

full solstice
#

not sure if this is quite what youre looking for

#

but i immediately thought of akali from KDA

#

when you said neon/graffiti

#

definitely dont be afraid to push the colors more

lusty spade
#

i just

#

Dont know what to do with the blank spots as well

#

Like

#

What should i do with it

full solstice
#

fill it up with cool designs!

lusty spade
#

i dont have any ideas

#

thats the problem

full solstice
#

like (again akali)

#

you can just put whatever vibes you're going for

#

or just make it a solid color

#

that's fine too

lusty spade
#

i need references

#

pictures

#

So i can come up with an idea

full solstice
#

mhm

#

really fill up the space with bright colors

#

and heavy lines

lusty spade
#

Hmmmm

#

Thanks for the ideas!

full solstice
#

npnppp

lusty spade
full solstice
#

instead of making splotches of color

#

i'd give them some direction

lusty spade
#

Hmmm

full solstice
#

putting too much color can make it look very very messy

full solstice
lusty spade
#

ohhh

lusty spade
full solstice
#

and messy in a bad way

lusty spade
#

graffiti can be messy yet pretty as the same time

full solstice
lusty spade
#

True

#

I can try

full solstice
#

what i will say is

#

if you're going to go in the akali uv light direction, stick with it

#

or if you want to go the brighter street graffiti, stick with that too

#

if you mish mash the two together, it just looks bad

lusty spade
#

this is going to take a while to think for the idea

full solstice
#

haha yeah character design isn't an easy task

lusty spade
#

true

#

oh!

#

I came up with an idea

full solstice
#

oooo

#

share

lusty spade
#

soo

#

Ill remove the web lines from the graffiti colors

#

And instand add them to the black color

#

Of the suit

#

And

#

Make them colourful

#

or just let them stay white

full solstice
#

that'd be interesting but again, the graffitti colors should still have some sort of form to them using lineart but other than that i think it's great :)

#

although if you're going to do that

#

make sure your character is balanced

#

if everything is super colorful/busy with lines it makes the character an eyesore

#

you could always just leave white spaces or some sort of empty space to give more balance

lusty spade
#

ill try it

#

tomorrow its 3am

full solstice

go sleep 👍

# wraith vault is lineart good?

well since you used line to made the pole part of the weapon, it is way more "high-resolution" than the rest of the lineart there

#

you can just look at the different between the lineart of the pole and the hand holding it there

#

and i can't tell if the feet part is unfinished or not

#

like is that part of the heel for one of the foot or it actually the heel of the other foot?

dusky trail
#

i would show mine but since it is Kongming and she is, well

#

let just say, not well dress at the moment

#

also a character really hard to figure out how her outfit work since they changed it... between the stigmata version, the poster version and in-game model...

#

and then her model also has a lot of thing blocking the view...

#

tys Mihoyo

#

even in her poster, the fan or the giant sleeve often block the view

onyx breach
#

you can clearly see the chest part here tho?

dusky trail
#

but i want the armpit~~ =3=

#

you can't tell how the green part of the shirt went up to the shoulder after all

onyx breach
#

ye nop not happening with clothes, she's covered in layers

#

Easiest way is to make her look beat up with tattered clothes and a ripped arm on her clothes

dusky trail
onyx breach
#

Probably put her in that ulti pose where she raises her arm to cast the tornado showing the goodies from a low camera angle

dusky trail
#

i just make the variant with the shirt and sleeve separated

#

well, i mainly put some effort on the upper clothe part so the bottom part feel more "expose" anyway

onyx breach
#

that wouldn't make sense coz its a yukata, they aren't detachable unless specifically designed to 🤔

dusky trail
#

the skirt alone should be detachable

#

with the way that green part pop right on top of the obi there

#

since they have the same color tone

#

the skirt should be hold up by the obi and could be remove alone

not Kongming at least

Far from it

and then there also the style

hardy yew
#

if a grown man wants to draw a 12 year old getting banged then what can u do about it just know eventually somewhere along the line somebody will bring it up

#

I said what I needed to

#

not trying to prove anything

dusky trail
#

as long the chars has long enough legs to make them look less like a kid then i'm good

#

since i know some artist draw rather small body type

hardy yew
#

as long as you’re not attracted to kids

#

u do u

dusky trail
#

well most artist didn't draw a certain body type because they also like that body type in RL

#

that kind of argument is like saying those people made Mortal Kombat must really into violent death scene

onyx breach
#

westerns and their logic be like...

dusky trail
#

the role-player often the type more attract to the chars than artist actually

hardy yew
#

mhm

dusky trail
#

and of course, not like i only draw Kongming either

#

Rita too is one of my fav

#

so i'm more attract to the chars themself than they body type

glass glade
#

any critiques?

dusky trail
#

well the char and the background using the same color can look really off

#

specially when the gray background also blurry

#

the eye also rather too big, if not because one of them is blocked by the hair, the size will get in conflict with each other

glass glade
#

oh ive already drawn the other eye

#

i covered it after drawing it

glass glade
glass glade
#

what?

whole cloak
#

the centerline of the head is unclear
following the split of the hair at the top of the head the face would be at a different angle than following the angle of the face

#

wait that sounds unclear TeriRip

#

her hair is supposed to be completely covering her eyes its not supposed to be split in the middle its kinda like she was moving really fast and her hair got everywhere 😭

#

but yea i get what ur tryna say

#

I think the mouth angle is also too steep? like compared to the lines the eyes follow the mouth is either severely tilted downward on her left or severely tilted up on her right

@lone wagon about our "argument" on knowing anatomy thing, here's an example of what i was talking about, how some ppl know anatomy to the point of him drawing what he knows more then drawing what he sees

Here’s an anatomical quicksketch drawing demo of the quads. You can find 5 more narrated drawing demos in the anatomy course at http://proko.com/anatomy

Drowning myself on chibis ig

safe falcon
#

So do any of youse think using 3D models to help with art is cheating?

wild blade
#

how is that cheating, art is not a test

safe falcon
wild blade
#

unless ur blatantly tracing

#

and post it as your own

#

thats cheating

#

tracing is fine too HAHAHA

onyx breach
#

Its not but I think that being very dependent on it hinders your own drawing skills to some extent that you can't produce the same quality without it

wild blade
#

its a good start if u need proportions

#

but after u grasp it try to separate yourself from it

safe falcon
#

I still struggle with anatomy so i’m hoping 3d models will help me get better

onyx breach
#

Yup

wild blade
#

i wont consider anything in art cheating

#

unless ur posting it online for your own benefit

molten flume
#

imo, it is not cheating but like what delay said, it hinders your potential to improve further

onyx breach
#

Then you probably haven't experienced the pain of ppl stealing your art and tracing it then

molten flume
onyx breach
#

Exactly

#

Those ppl deserve a bullet in the face

molten flume
#

really hated the idea of tracing

#

never had in my life i have done tracing

onyx breach

That's why always put signatures ppl

molten flume
hardy yew

i’ll likely change the left arm pose

I have very little confidence when it come to the way I do anatomy but would you say that’s fine?

onyx breach
#

Face shape needs adjusting

#

that hair style is not too uncommon but it still look like a pain to see

molten flume
onyx breach
#

I forgot the reason

#

Why you use screenshot and not at the same time

molten flume
onyx breach
#

Which one?

molten flume
#

Having to scrrenshot the work and then posting it

#

i have to browse all the way to the files

onyx breach
#

Ye whyre you even taking a pic 😐

molten flume
onyx breach
#

I meant why take a pic of the wips instead of smashing the printscreen button and pasting it?

molten flume
#

just recently got my pc since 3months

#

so im not familiar with key shortcuts yet

onyx breach
#

Ahh then now you know, just use printdcreen, snipping tool or windows key +shift+ S

lone wagon
onyx breach
#

Im gonna say this coz this topic is already dragged out for too long and it pisses me off but I believe that the intensity of knowledge you have to pound in your brain when it comes to anatomy depends ENTIRELY in your artstyle. You love cartoon artstyle? You can get away with wiggly tiny limbs and giant heads, etc. Anime? You're free to modify the parts you find attractive for you. Realistic? Ye go ham with your anatomy knowledge. I dont care if you disect a human or scram through pages about muscles and skeletones or whatever, its what your artstyle demand from you. So not everyone is obligated to pound every tiny detail the human anatomy has to offer but only know the foundation of what this and that do and how it looks like depending on how much their artstyle demand from them.

molten flume
#

holy moly, another argument again?

onyx breach
#

Ye its this boolshaet every week

molten flume
#

you know, dont press your perspective on others mind you know who you are i am tired seeing this drama all day and we all have our preferences

#

its like trying to fit a square block on a circle

#

this is way getting out of hand

onyx breach
#

Just Aki being too high on this drug called anatomy

molten flume
#

does anatomy matter? yes it is
but trying to be a perfectionist to be accurate in art? thats a big nono

#

youre way too focused on the anatomy that you tend to make them believe your perspective

#

amd try to be in a correct position

dusky trail
#

well you know Aki still don't have the "think outside the box" mindset yet

plain bane
#

I've been watching this from the side for a while now actually, I mean my personal view is that you don't need to know every last bit of the human anatomy, art isn't biology yk?

molten flume
#

we do have differences in the perspective regarding anatomy, but you dont have to ham your opinions on others

plain bane
#

As long as you can get a grasp of how it looks in a general sense and how it works I think it'd be fine

dusky trail
#

i also don't think you need to know down to muscle fiber of the model to draw thing either

#

unless you want to draw a more muscular type of character

plain bane
#

Ahh well, I'll go back to lurking now I was just sat at my bus stop and thought I'd share my opinion

molten flume

man, we are tired of seeing this arguments all day, we just give tips and post art not trying to be a tryhard

lone wagon

I thought i was the one in trouble then, maybe for contributing to this this long argument im guilty but my opinions are still the same as u guys.

dusky trail
#

well, that is why realistic style artist and free style anime artist sometime just don't mess well

molten flume

maybe next time, send an email to nickelodeon and rant how these characters' anatomy are way off despite them being professional artists @lament stump

What started this anyway?

onyx breach

Idc and even if they're online id say the same thing.

molten flume
#

@lone wagon bro dont blame yourself for being guilty, just dont pay attention on perfection, you draw well and always will be best
try doing your art on yourself, not for others

dusky trail
#

well this kind of complain is quite normal to see when some didn't put the idea of "it is just fiction" thing anyway

#

from anatomy to stuff like "it is unrealistic to fight in this kind of clothe" and so on

molten flume

#

even why her boob so big or why her boob so small thing

Just twitards people that are like that tbh

molten flume

thinking they are doing such a righteous thing

but oh well its your everyday life especially in twitter

anyways dont mind em dude

feel confident and be proud of your art

its their platform and not ours

I mean I've heard horror stories, people I know have said it's like, quote "they're always trying to get a foot over eachother in everything, nobody wins its just a group of oppressive people in one place"

molten flume

we hold no power on em'

lone wagon

I feel like if I ever make a twitter acc and stay too long on it it'll drive me insane, so never made one.

molten flume
#

thank god i dont see any bad posts going on

#

mostly illustrator stuff and sorts

lone wagon
#

Ur lucky then, cuz i see a lot of NFTs problem rn and people attacking artists particularly in the genshin community

dusky trail
#

well twitter is still handy to some extend

#

my feed also just filled with pixiv artist i follow too

molten flume
#

mostly pick art stuffs and you wont ever see one incriminating post ever

dusky trail
#

or just pick foreign artist so you can't even tell what the heck they are saying

lone wagon
#

I csnt make art accounts right now, its for a reason but nothing to do with being scared to make one, I will make one eventually

onyx breach
#

I already distance myself from twitter because of those ppl. I just post my art on pixiv and so far I've been more successful there than Twitter.

molten flume

mostly jp illust

i attempted to post art in pixiv, my image became blurry since it was 22.2mb size of the pic

lone wagon

#

I haven't made any art accounts, but college keeps telling me to make an insta art account LiliSip

lone wagon
#

In my opinion, I don't really think Instagram is that good for artists, I think its more for selfies and extra bonuses if you're already a popular artist

shadow nebula
#

its good if you know how to work the algorithm. No site is designed for artists

molten flume
#

algorithm is hard to predict

#

pain

shadow nebula
#

its doesn't change too often so once you know the changes you can adjust

plain bane
#

It's something I'll probably look into soon

#

Since my lecturer is so insistent on me having one

shadow nebula
#

for my school its mandatory to have a website

plain bane
#

Man I could never I'd be so confused, I've never even thought about any of that before

shadow nebula
#

a website is for employers so not needed if you don't want to go professional

plain bane
#

Well the whole point of taking the course I'm on is taking art to a professional level so I guess I'll just have to learn it

shadow nebula
#

yeah

#

also good to get an artstation account if you're at that skill lvl

plain bane
#

Not too sure yet, I have quite a bit to work on still

shadow nebula
#

better to hold off then until you're at industry standard

plain bane

Yee sonicthumbsup

lament stump
#

Lately everything i say here i get bullied for it

lone wagon
#

God I hated using WordPress

molten flume
#

Is your places mandate you to make an website?

#

for art purposes?

lone wagon
#

Ywah i studied a design course and they made me use WordPress as a portfolio, but did not enjoy that at all.

#

They never taught me actual art though they just taught me what programmes are available and how to use them most of them time.

#

They then gave me a theme and was like yeah do whatever u want, here's a deadline

#

Go

molten flume
#

thats a harsh way to do

#

i could feel you

especially in math teachers

lone wagon
#

So I've just self studied art in my own time and I didnt choose to go to uni cuz I thought it would be the same thing. Wasting money and time for soemthing they're not even gonna teach me.

molten flume
#

thats why self study is the most effective thing to do

lone wagon
#

They have connections to actual work places, if you get the degree u r more likely to get a job working for a company but i dont wanna do it that way.

molten flume
#

was contemplating back then to become an architect

lone wagon
#

The things they teach you and make you do is like preparing you to work in those kinds of places, you're expected to self teach most of the time. That's what they told me in college.

molten flume
#

though i am bad at houses

lone wagon
#

And after they told me that I decided, yeah I'm not gonna waste time and money for university

molten flume
lone wagon
#

If they expect me to self teach myself art I'll do that without spending money, I'll just gain money by getting a job while studying myself.

molten flume
#

its like giving you a materials in a house but not teaching you what to do

lone wagon
#

Well tbh it's not art school that I went to, if it was art school it would be different but my parents wernt willing to pay to get me into art school

molten flume
lone wagon
#

So i just went fk u to life and decided to do what I wanna do when I can anyways without spending a single penny.

molten flume
#

here in ph, art courses are the most expensive to choose

#

like, the end result of doing it would be the same

#

why bother attending art school

lone wagon
#

Yeah they're so expensive it's ridiculous

#

Luckily college for me was free but because I went to college and did a design course that I came to this conclusion for myself, it might not be the best choice but I'll just deal with it and carry on.

molten flume
lone wagon
#

Ik that, and because of knowing that is also part of the reason to why I didn't choose to go. Art is soemthing you don't particularly need a qualification for anyways, it's not like wanting to be a doctor

molten flume
#

i really cant go slack at developing something

lone wagon
#

I had so many annoying meetings with my teachers in college trying to push me to go to uni and I'm like

#

I said no so can u just leave me alone

#

In a nicer way obviously

molten flume
lone wagon
#

I hate that they think art is all the same, just because you like to draw anime doesn't make you automatically qualify to become an architect u baffoon.

molten flume
lone wagon
#

Obviously but there's a lot more to art, there's lots of different types of art forms

#

Music is art

#

Its a lot more complicated than that but their old mindsets don't understand that

molten flume
#

Well, thats the current mindset peeps think

lone wagon
#

My mum the other day was like, why don't you try to actually draw realistic people, wouldn't that be better?

#

It peed me off so much

molten flume
#

its been for a long time ever since i started

lone wagon
#

Who are u to say what I should and should not draw, go away mind your own business. I argued with her and she kept quiet.

molten flume

#

This fruit salad is rubbish, who made this?

molten flume

i kept quiet and quiet

until i had enough so i posted it in the social media

I never used to be this confident until I got so fed up I ran away from home for a day without telling her and she got so worried

#

And after that she started listening to me more

#

Still has the old mindset but at least she's listening now

molten flume
#

but other family members were not

lone wagon
#

My dad tried roasting me the other day for not going to uni

#

And i was like

#

U went to uni, didn't get the job u wanted, and now ur paying student debt for the rest of your life

#

At least I ain't going into any debt

molten flume

That guy didn't even know what he wanted to do, he just went to uni for the fun

molten flume

There's a reason I haven't started art accounts yet.

molten flume
#

but glad you are having some freedom

lone wagon
#

I prefer earning money and doing art when I can than studying anyways. Never liked it.

molten flume
#

but before i engage in commsions, i think i should do a lot of development first

#

mainly coloring

#

needed a god master coloring sensei oof

lone wagon
#

If that's what you want to do then go for it

#

I sometimes wish I would wake up the next day and automatically have all the knowledge of colouring also

#

Its soemthing I struggle with

molten flume
#

not knowing how will i develop

lone wagon
#

I'm always havign a tantrum about it xD

molten flume
#

nor what ways could be done correctly

lone wagon
#

I'm kicking around like whyy why can't I automatically be good at colouring like rn

molten flume
molten flume
lone wagon
#

But ik that the reason art is something I like its because I can see me progress

#

If i automatically become good without progress then there's no actual thrill in drawing anymore

I would get tired and be lazy

🤔

#

Imagine paying for something you can learn for free lmfao

#

Art course is a scam

shadow nebula
#

that is your opinion. Not all art schools are bad and not all are good. If your goal is to go professional you either need a really good teacher or know how to properly study art and anatomy.

onyx breach
#

...or search them all up in the internet HimekoLMAO

supple sorrel
#

art schools are often more about forcing you to actually study and move out of your comfort zone

#

because its super hard to stay motivated/disciplined by yourself

shadow nebula
#

they are also there to teach you a variety of techniques and mediums. Some of these things you can't fully grasp without having someone teach you as this is centuries of trial and error

supple sorrel
supple sorrel
shadow nebula
#

and a schrolover said, anatomy is mandatory for the art industry and many other things that require years of study

#

yeah, exactly. I don't understand why people scoff at art schools when they have never attended in the first place

molten flume
#

pain

buoyant vector
#

Looks good tho

lone wagon
#

I wanted to go to FZD school of design in Singapore

#

If anybody has ever heard of it

#

It was established by Feng zhu the legend himself

#

But it was way out of my range

#

However I've seen people who self teach themselves as freelancers without studying much anatomy to such lengths but end up getting commissioned anyways by companies to do specific art. It depends on what u wanna do

#

If you're willing to work in the industry itself and be apart of a team within a company then you need different sets of qualities obviously and msot likely they're looking for people who have more knowledge in stuff like anatomy.

#

But if you just wanna do art for fun as a freelancer, it doesn't really matter if you study a lot or not because you're not working for anyone

#

The question is whether you want to work for someone else or work for yourself.

#

Personally I prefer to be a freelancer, it's a more risky path for someone who actually wanna make a living out of art but I prefer to draw something I like at my own pace than being forced to work as a machine in a games company somewhere. Sounds too stressful.

#

Nowadays being professional in something just means having a job. You work at McDonald's cleaning toilets? Well you're a professional cleaner! If you can make a living out of art it doesn't matter if you work for a company or not, you're still a professional.

#

But these are all my personal views

onyx breach
shadow nebula
#

I was talking about other who constantly have bad things to say while having never attended

onyx breach
onyx breach
shadow nebula
#

I should also mention most freelancers have a solid understanding of anatomy or the very basics of it. Unfortunately with freelancing its difficult to start and its basically working at a studio except with a less reliable source of income

lone wagon
#

That's why it's more risky, we were discussing extreme knowledge in anatomy to the point where you're basically michelangelo

shadow nebula
#

Just because you can learn online doesn’t mean you learn the right things. There are plenty of amateur artists talking like professionals and spreading misinformation. You can have your own opinion delay but so do others. Not all art schools are great and not all are bad

lone wagon
#

Anatomy is important u need to know anatomy to draw bodies well but like i said its not something you particularly need to go into extreme details in learning to be able to achieve professional level

shadow nebula
#

You don’t need doctor lvl anatomy knowledge unless you’re going to paint muscular individuals realistically with minimal references. Just seems like there have been people going back and fourth on needing any knowledge or none at all

#

Which as i have said its up to what your goals for art are

lone wagon
#

That's what we were trying to say, it's good to know anatomy, the more u know the better but depending on what u wanna do you don't need to have extreme knowledge in it.

#

Well that's what I want to say anyways idk about anyone else

shadow nebula
#

Yeah, if going professional you’ll need it. Its a requirement for studios. If not then honestly who care what you do as long as you like it

lone wagon
#

What was the source of this argument in the first place? I kind of forgot I lost track of it.

shadow nebula
#

Some people have been arguing about it for days now

lone wagon
#

This is all so dumb, ik it's dumb but I'm getting involved in it anyways.

shadow nebula
#

Yeah, at this point i’ve become a broken record repeating the same stuff (that its all about your goals)

lone wagon
#

The human mind is so complicated just like this conversation. There's no point in arguing in soemthing that has many paths and many answers.

#

This argument is basically arguing about whether the egg or the chicken came first

#

No end...

unique surge
#

technically there isnt really a point having an argument that drags on forever because each person will look at one side differently than other and we all like to think that we are right, so it would be harder to accept another point of view

#

and also your point of view differs from mine based on our own different experience

#

so how you view something doesn't always suit me

#

which is why every person can create their own style of art without having to copy someone elses if they are motivated to

#

thats just my take on art

lament stump
#

are you guys still on anatomy thing..

lament stump

@shadow nebula have you ever learned art from books?
