Hi Iain.

>>3582792
You are a good boy.

>>3582792
Tfw the "draw thread" isn't drawings, and there's no "paint thread"

digital art was a mistake

>>3582883
You're technically drawing when you are painting even when you don't use lines.

>>3582912
You're technically talking out of your ass when you're farting too

I hope using reference is allowed, i adjusted the features to fit my idea

>>3582919
big if true

>>3582792

Don't mind the blue hair.

Is this the new sketchbook thread?

>>3582883

honestly your drawings are boring is your biggest problem. there's nothing interesting about your technique. it isn't 3d, there isn't form, it isn't really cartoony, there's nothing exaggerated, its not soft or impressionistic, its not even entirely flat either, or abstract, or wild, it's just a boring old outline of something you saw with a little bit of half assed shading.

>>3582792

did you draw that? decent technique. i like that you modified the proportions and didn't just do an exact 1:1 copy of the reference pic. the hair isn't great but i kind of like the contrast between the sloppiness of the hair and the precision of your hatching in the face. seems deliberate enough for me to give it a pass. i like the texture of paper you used, and your range of values. overall nice job. doesn't blow me away but i enjoy looking at it. kind of reminds me of paul calle's technique a little bit actually. solid 8/10

>>3582883
>>3582979
I like that style. How you do the hair frizz is neat. Has a confidence to the outlining and junk that most people don't have.

>>3582979
That's by Iain Mccaig.

>>3582979
>decent technique
>doesn’t blow me away
What the fuck is it with people on here and giving out compliments? Every time someone posts a pro’s work on here some retard tries to crit it or gives shitty backhanded compliments like you. Just admit that it’s good.

>>3582963
that looks like a powerpuff girls hand

>>3582984
Holy fucking shit, how can you be so clueless to think those rigid lines were done with confidence.

>>3583012
Sorry I don't take 100 lines to get one right, now that'd be confidence

>>3583012
Sick cat drawing

>>3583015

yeah, this is art you fucking numbskull. it's about how it looks not how you made it. the ends justify the means. sargent would literally spend 100s of strokes to get the perfect elegant confident look to his strokes. he strove for perfection. you are just shitting out the first thing that comes to mind and lazily calling it confidence. we dont care how you made it, we want it to look good.

>>3582984

garbage drawing. your opinion is next to worthless until you learn how to draw.

Saving this thread for the autistic crits that are being given so that I'm reminded what the state of /ic/ is really like.

>>3583026
KYS: A haiku

Nothing is perfect,
And anything is better.
Post your work faget

>>3582912
>painting means you are drawing
is this why all the digitards are dumb af at art?

>>3583041
If your haven't yet figured out that the act of drawing goes beyond its dictionary definition, then you need to paint some more. You can draw with lines (pencil) and shapes (brush)

A Quiet Place was an ok movie but with reflection it's really annoying.

How fucking hard is it to kill something that can't see shit and just belligerently tackles anything that makes noise?

Plus they're not even bulletproof. Shoot it in the fucking head a bunch wtf.

>>3583068
While that movie was dumb, I thought the creatures were bulletproof. It’s just that they opened their mouths/faces in pain which exposed their soft spots when exposed to feedback noise

>>3583052
>words mean whatever I want them to mean!
stop it

>>3582984
You've posted this in nearly every thread and gotten negative feedback each time. What fuels you?

>>3583058
holy hell someone who's actually talented. blog?

>>3583195
A: I just always anticipate negative feedback tbhpwyf. Anons will post famous or amazing paintings or whatever and shitposters will still talk shit about le fundamentals or whatever other of the 4 meme crits everyone does.
2: Any feedback is better than a vacuum.
C: Posting anything is better than shitposting nothing.
D: masochism!

>>3583058
are you the guy who draws with .7 mech?

>>3583196
I don’t post much traditional work on there but I’m @ohheythatfisher on twitter

>>3582792
That a really nice Mathilda anon, I'm tired of most loli art consisting of weeb crap.

>>3583208
Yep
>>3583212
Nice

>>3583206
>that scribbly style paired with that manic expression
nice

>>3583206
>>3582984
please for the love of god stop using a mechanical pencil or at least learn how to create a sense of line weight you fucking mongoloid.

do you hold your fork like this as well?

loosen your grip jesus christ

>>3583300
what is problem?

>>3583011
do they do mario 64 hands?

>>3582792

>>3583468
this isn't entirely bad but all the lines going inward on the face make it look like a butthole or a skin condition at first glance. you gotta soften that shit

I'm likely starting production on muh pic related project this coming month.

>>3583477

>>3583477
>>3583478
announcing plans makes people less likely to follow through with them

>>3583477
>>3583478
guaranteed you can't pull this off

>>3583481
yeah I know. And I was knowingly probably lying too. Realistically it's probably not happening till October.

Keep stalling on it because it's kind of supposed to be the end of the "peasant painting" part of racing Van Gogh. Figure it'll get the #300 spot. Which is like 5 away.

>>3583488
the part where you on the spot psychoanalyze yourself to deflect criticism and advice is my least favorite part about you


that project seems way beyond your skill level, and realistically would take you 2 years to get somewhere near a level where that image is even managable.

>>3583490
>the part where you on the spot psychoanalyze yourself to deflect criticism and advice is my least favorite part about you
idk how to not do that maybe.
>that project seems way beyond your skill level,
all of them are.
>and realistically would take you 2 years to get somewhere near a level where that image is even managable.
I mean for Juan thing this is my year 2. Van Gogh started the peasant painting studies and his meme painting career in like 1882 and did the big Potato Eaters like ~3 years later in 1885. But he also did 3 studies and a lithograph about it first so I figure I can try a 12x16 or something soon and then do a big ol stretched canvas meme next April.

And I mean I don't necessarily try to deflect. I agreed with what you were saying but just wanted to ramble about muh plans idk.

>>3583485
>pull this off
sexually?

You should do one too. Everyone should do a chest eaters. And I mean, the reality of it is that you can either make the attempt and end up with a product or not.

Do or do not. Don't be a pull off.

>>3583498
van gogh drew this in 1882. stop comparing yourself to one of the greatest artists that ever lived. the only thing you two have in common is that you paint.

>>3583195

He is a narcissist. He loves the attention. He is too delusional to see the flaws in his work.

>>3583500
>van gogh drew this in 1882
easy peasy
>stop comparing yourself to one of the greatest artists that ever lived.
I'm drawing parallels. But I'm not trying to "compare myself" though, I'm racing the idiot. I'm trying to be the first cash grab squeakquel.
> the only thing you two have in common is that you paint.
similar psychological profiles, similar family history, similar socioeconomic background, started at the same age, bunch of stuff. Doesn't REALLY matter though it's mostly just a motivational framework that happens to have the side benefit of being offensively subversive and self-important. It's a goof!

>>3583506
>It's a goof!
so when this doesn't work and you need to find a job that's part of the joke, right? damn, good one.

>>3583502
>He is a narcissist. He loves the attention.
No narcissists love themselves.
Histrionics love attention.
>He is too delusional to see the flaws in his work.
I mean I'm generally able to see "the flaws" and I generally agree with the criticism. My focus is just more about embracing mistakes and wabi sabi type of memes.

This shit got me a tattoo apprenticeship

>>3583507
>so when this doesn't work
what? Project is budgeted for a decade. It either happens or it doesn't.
>and you need to find a job that's part of the joke, right?
this is the job. And I won't need to do shit when the race is over.

>>3583512
>And I won't need to do shit when the race is over.
… why? because you'll be rich? that's a mighty presumption. or are you already rich and money doesn't matter so you can fuck around for a decade? I don't understand. im starting to see why everyone thinks you're delusional.

>>3583511
>This shit got me a tattoo apprenticeship
you can copy photos, that's pretty much the job, so yeah...

>>3583513
>… why?

>>3583516
are you just a bratty rich kid that doesn't want to work?

>>3583518
I work like 60 hours a week.

And I'm not rich but I made enough money from bitcoin to finance the LLC and it's budgeted for a decade of plausibly no income. Part of the race is no selling originals until after I get shot in the chest.

>>3583518
and like right now I'm at the back end of the first act. Chopping a fingey off and eating it for the end of the second act.

>>3582976
good stuff

>>3583468
either go all in with the lines being drawn in on the face or dial them down probably.

This was a flier I made for a party (sans print)

This is just fucking depressing he's like a blight that just shows up everywhere.
I'd be more mad but most work that gets posted just gets blasted with hate. I'd rather have a slow sketchbook thread than this bullshit any day

>>3584124

Yikes, I'm not into necrophilia

>>3583174

I'm a concept artist that works for a big video game company, I just sent this to the art director, this is gonna be the main character. I have a lot of say in the final product

I dreamt that I was drawing pirates so that I did at college this morning. That backbody makes me proud

>>3584389
The feeling of improvement has no equal, though they were all supppsed to be the same characters and I could'nt keep the face consistent. The one on the right I liked how it looks but by using that from-below perspective made him too fat, I need to work on that

incidentally, what's the best platform for art?

>>3583052
painting can use drawing aspects. drawing can not use painting aspects. they are not the same.

>>3584586
I’m saying that drawing can use painting aspects, not that drawing is literally painting.

>>3584605
that's the original point. you have gone completely reverse.

>>3583007
this.
>>3582883
im beg and i love this pic, even if the concept is simple

>>3584546
How long have you been drawing

>>3584694
I started drawing in class frequently around 7th grade. I've just always kind of done it on and off since then, I'm 28 now.

>>3584890
Good shit anon!

>>3583477
It is a classical composition with that many hands in the center of the 'painting'.

why are you posting these in a pencil and ink thread. there is a limited amount of pictures in every thread.

>>3586434
he's spamming multiple threads to force his grossfuck paintings but mods haven't banned him yet.

>>3586434
He's a vain, self-obsessed retard who will find any excuse to post his stagnant, revolting art.

I drew this woman and her daughter at the beach today

>>3586434
His name is Jimmy Buxton aka watchpaintdrytv, and he thinks he's tapped into some sort of hyper ironic memery and is trying to go viral by spamming his work on /ic/.

He posts his bullshit in every thread. He should be permabanned for spamming.

>>3583468
I like the style anon, keep at it

Latenight scribblings.

Didn't need that in my head. Thanks, anon.

Just curious, how did that information known around here? Did he introduced himself? Or did some anon reverse image searched or some shit?

>>3583304

Allow the shading lines to thicken at the root of the black shadow form.
I've done your mistake once, it seems awkward but the fix is easy.

>>3583511
I'd love to know your process.

>>3588062
I love that little form at the keystone of his face.

I've stagnated really bad. It's pretty obvious that I'm just making up a lot of anatomy due to a lack of knowledge, especially with the back musculature and joints. Even so, this came out...okay? I think? Help me out here.

>>3589198

I like how you used negative space in this. It's spooky.

>>3588902

Nice spontaneous energy, I wish I could sketch like this.

>>3588094

Love the hatching.

>>3589198
I don't think you can expect much critique on this because you've avoided drawing really anything that could be critiqued. No limbs, not a real face. You have a cool idea but you need to put yourself out there and try to draw your person/creature with details that you can be advised on and move forward. You have promise, don't be afraid.

>>3591185
cute

>>3591185
Is this actually by you? If so, really good job lad.

>>3584546
Instagram is probably the "hottest" right now just because of how easy it is to advertise yourself

Animating camera movement takes a ton of planning, but it's oh so effective, nice work

>>3589146

Oh shit, didn't even notice that. Good catch. I always flip my own work but I rarely check other people's. Good call.

>>3589142

Lain McCraig isn't that great. He is a highly skilled illustrator. He isn't one of the best in the world, but he is better than the average. He isn't as good as Craig Mullins, for example.

>>3583007

I didn't say it had excellent technique, I said it had decent technique. It also doesn't blow me away. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Part of a good critique is to include both candid responses to the art "it doesn't blow me away" (which is exactly how I felt) as well as pointing out where it can be improved technically, which there wasn't much to improve except for the symmetry issue mentioned by>>3589146. "Decent but not amazing," is a fair assessment.

also this>>3589125

This isn't a hugbox. You can go to tumblr if you want people to be nice to you and tell you how wonderful and strong and beautiful you are.

>>3586438

Ignore him and he will go away.

>>3586448

Good stroke economy and line quality on the face of the girl in the back. Rest of the lines in the drawing are your usual "meh"- you are either pressing too hard or not being careful enough. Remember art is supposed to be beautiful. If you don't care what it looks like, stick to engineering.

>>3590278

This has a lot of potential. I can see it being redeemed by an interesting lighting scheme and a more intimidating dragon. Mountains and cliff could be a little more interesting too.

>>3591185

Great. No major critiques. Admiring your control of midtones.

>Good job on the likeness, could tell who it was before I read the file name.

Thanks!

As a test, while I was working on it, I took it to my daughter. Since my wife was in the room and I wanted to test them both, I very carefully explained to my daughter that I was about to ask her a "yes or no" question... that is, a question with only two answers - either "yes" or "no". I showed it to my daughter in such a way that my wife could not (yet) see what I had drawn, and asked my daughter if she could tell who it was a picture of.

She answered, "Taylor Swift!"

>>3591518
Yeah it’s always nice when someone recognizes your drawing, the worst feeling is when you spend a lot of time on a drawing and no one can tell who it is.

>>3591542
Fug forgot to attach pic. Here are some warm ups.

>>3591542
>the worst feeling is when you spend a lot of time on a drawing and no one can tell who it is.

Again, to be fair, that *might* be because your subject is fairly obscure.

>>3591596
Ah, I meant in general like when I do a portrait study of someone famous and fuck up the likeness so it ends up looking like their less attractive inbred cousin. Sorry if I was unclear.

>>3591355
Lain McCaig?

>>3591623
He must’ve been talking about Lain McCaig because Iain McCaig is an amazing artist.

>>3591624
Damn right he is. I wish he would've actually gotten around to having Shadowline reprinted in softcover/paperback format, and I wish the guy would actually update his blog, AND i wish his schoolism class would actually come out.

>>3591393

It's a watercolor I made early last year or so, and this year I went back to it, made the lettering, on another sheet of paper, scanned them both and put them together in Photoshop (I don't know if it's against the thread rules, because it's basically 2 drawings put together digitally)

His eye on the right is in an awkward position, and you fucked it up by shading it too much with black
It looks kinda weird
And his hand misplaced, too
Pose like him and see how weird the hand is, you'd be with you arm close to your chest and only your hand stretching out holding a blade upwards, like what the actual fuck
But it's a nice drawing, I like the scribbling and all
>>3594056
I like this one's idea, but the thing coming out from the bottom right is just shit
The humanoid feature on the land feels like it doesn't belong, it could be more interesting without this "face"
Things can be pretty coll and look alive and sentient without being humanoid, you could work on that, 'cause it's a nice drawing with an actual good idea
The contrasts are good, maybe just a little too black on the left side
And I dig how playful those dimensionless spheres are
The land and tree have all these shadows and textures, and the spheres are simply flat, I like how it works together
>>3594057
I love the masked guy, like a blind sentinel or something, guided by something else, with eyes on top of his helmet, and how he embraces the person below
Hands are good, maybe too big in comparison to the person's head but I don't think everything has to be realistic and descriptive
>inb4 muh proportions and Loomis
Yeah, proportions are good, but fuck off, we can play around, conveying different things other than objectively portraying reality
Fuck that shit
>>3594058
This one is your best, in my opinion
The idea is nice, the composition works well
The moon (I guess) is fucked up, though
Doesn't look good, it's like a ball of cotton with some compressed chantilly around it
The clouds could be better if you gave them enough space between lines
But I like this drawing and the whole idea and the technique reminds me of Shintaro Kago
This board is full of retards who will only appreciate objective and realistic drawings, but I'd recommend you to keep drawing and doing it your way

>>3594117
ay thanks for the crit , if ur interested , here's the almost finished ver of the 2nd drawing, quite big

I did not post this one because i think the head is the strongest part of the piece, plus the 4mb size limit means i can't zoom in on it.

Also yeah in terms of trad works I go WAYYYYYY more liberal with size/proportion compare to my digital counterparts, it's more or less an outlet instead of having to bind myself in rules.

>moon
Really interesting you picked up on that, I always had to explain to people how that shit was supposed to be about mid-autumn festival body horror shit.

Great crit btw appreciate it dawg

>>3594297
your line weights are excellent how do you do itttttt

>>3594344
I use alot of tools, and a variety of techniques, stippling, 0.05mm micron to 0.5 micron, pentel brush pen etc...
If you can identify what you're rendering, you will have a better idea of what kind of line weight to use.

I think Ink is a very experimental type of medium, if you have heard of calligraphy, things like having good posture, mastering the stroke etc .. aren't bs, it's almost a medium of perfection, which kinda make sense because of how much commitment you going for each time you press the brush agains the surface. I would advise you to take your time anon and just do alot of quick sketches, preferably on a portable notebook, with all kinds of pen, brushpen, and even watercolor brush, so you know the handling of your tools. When it all boils down to just ink and pen and paper, everything becomes important anon, posture, how you hold the pen, speed, how hard you press, how much ink is being hold into your brush, is it wet or dry ... Be aware of all of it, and you will feel more control over the medium.

I havent tried fountain pen, but that's definitely what im going for next.

Pretty sure this isn't yours. It was posted on /ic/ ages ago. If it is yours then you should draw something new. I have this saved, and also a in-progress pic of it so choose your words wisely.
