drawing is my passion
I drew the meme Bateman image.
>>7154008So first off, this was posted to a spanish car forum earlier this year. So either you're the same beaner that posted it there, or found it somewhere and shitposted here and therefore are not the creator.Second, many people accused the creator of tracing. Because, well, it looks very clearly traced. The prominent features of Christian Bale are clearly captured. However, when you more critically analyze the drawing, major tells start to appear. For instance:>many of the lines at all points of the face are carelessly, haphazardly placed almost as it the artist had no knowledge of what to do. Examine the shadow on the left side of Bale's face that runs from the bottom of the neck to the top of the head. Classic nooby cross-hatching with very aimless and inconsistent strokes>these aimless and poor pen strokes can be further seen in the hair, which is a shapeless blob, yet somehow manages to have a perfect contour. Note especially the top left of the hair, where the pen strokes are plainly beginner level>the face is littered with pointless strokes, odd "wrinkles" and shadows that are blocked out perfectly contour-wise, but with no sense of confidence or experience>to put it briefly, the left eye is laughably badDue to this and the rather trollish responses the creator gave, I decided to place the image over top of what I believe to be the same frame the artist likely traced from. The contours are a 1:1 EXACT MATCH. Every shadow, facial feature, wrinkle, outline, piece of clothing are all perfectly and I mean perfectly placed; in terms of CONTOUR... with one exception: The left eye, as previously mentioned, which is terribly inaccurate considering the absolute perfect placement of everything else, and the notably poor line quality throughout.Please examine the webm I have made. Note the perfect placement of every single feature (aside from the left eye) contrasting with the obviously poor quality of every feature. I rest my case.
>>7154089Holy shit, delete your thread OP you've been completely fucking embarrassed
>>7154089kek its this that does it for me, even a pro would be slightly off on one of these lines
>>7154089I take back what I (>>7154028) said. fuck OP, hope his face gets cut off in one of those Mexican cartel videos.
traced and doesn't really capture the likeness? that's rough.
Are there any books teach the fundamentals of painting from imagination in the same way that Vilppu or Huston teaches the fundamentals of drawing?I just keep seeing shitty youtube videos. It seems very cryptic
>>7154103He's married and has children
>>7154077he's too based to fake it
>>7154097You're not listening, it's narcissism, he literally painted himself, not something he wants to fuck. He had photos and photos of himself for reference.
>>7154124Explain the BLACKED porn.
>>7154117?Not mutually exclusive.
I made my biggest progress in art when I started drawing less, and spending more time watching art videos, reading art books and browsing twitter art. Do 20 minutes of intense, focused drawing, then do 40 minutes of theory.
praxis > active listening/learning > mindless repetition > doing nothing
>>7153363heres proof guys can make it too
>>7153363Beautiful crabbing, well done my friend.
what do people have a problem with? learning theory and then applying it is a solid strat. the ratio should depends on how much theory you already know but can't execute on yet.

>>7154026It's good anon, I like you illu
>>7154029I'm not a spa
>>7154002Hey omeow, thanks mate. I try really hard to have everything be a vague Byzantine/Mughal/Dravidian combo culturally so I'm glad somebody recognizes it.As for converted photos as background lineart, I personally feel /mmg/ is only "against" it to the degree that it's always good to instead improve your perspective skills and to draw a multiplicity of things. The only time I've ever seen anons here go "maybe don't use it at all in this case" is when an anon's art seems to be overly reliant on it to carry a panel. You are not that, so I frankly wouldn't sweat it.Glad to see your new stuff is coming along, though. I semi-regularly post in the webcomic general, keep it up.
>>7153828Can you link your stuff? I might not like it but the cover is good enough to make me wanna check out which you should take as a victory.

how can I get used to a screen-less tablet faster? It's almost as if there was no connection between my hands and what I see the cursor doing.Any tips?
>>7154074>Any tips?Learn to FEEL it bro
>>7154074I took it out to coffee shops with my laptop to practice gesture drawing. Got over the disconnect pretty quick. Pro tip: make sure the tablet stays oriented flush to the same angle of the laptop or monitor, otherwise your angles will be off.
>>7154074do this every day for a month
>>7154031I never use the buttons on pens, but I do find it a bit too thinI guess it's part of the idea of it being portable
Be honest anon.Have you ever felt jealousy or bitterness/resentment towards an art friend or mutual doing better than you?Whether it be through skill or general success
>>7153980friend? neverenemy? always.
none of my art friends ever made it that far...
>>7153980I was a jealous of an "art friend" of mine in high school. I bullied him to suicide and now I'm here.
>>7153980Yes i did when i was a kid or teenager but i got over it by reaching a threshold of emotional maturity at which i stopped caring about what others were doing
No. Why the fuck would I be anything but happy for other's success? What a gabe question.

>>7154043>>7153635Something wrong with AI as reference? Artist cant bitch about his work being stolen.
>>7154091Why would you reference fake anime?
>>7154091check how the left ear is close to the eye and then start focusing on why her left eye would be so far back, there are a lot of mistakes that the proompter can't pick up because he is retardedbtw the guy got a viral tweet with a similar pic of Aru from Blue Archive so he is shitting out similar pics with every character

Are women naturally better artists than men?Looking online, there seems to be a lot more women posting great art than men. Female artists get out of the /beg/ phase much faster, are more consistent with their art, are more varied with their styles, aren’t massive coomers, and are generally more soulful.Why can’t we compete, bros?Is it because women get obsessed with drawing their husbandos and brute force their way into becoming skilled artists or something?
Life is one big hustle no reason not to use what you have to get what you want. People complaining are just mad they can't compete and the where everything is fair and just doesn't exist.
>>7149253I can smell your pussy from here. Go wash.
>>7149253> their capacity to express their creative vision has nothing to do with being male or female.This isn't the problem. The problem is that males are socially encouraged to think with their crotch. Men will "naturally" "reward" women for showing their tummy, wearing a short dress, emphasizing their bosom.Let's not pretend for a second that the overwhelming majority of women are innocent when doing so... Even repeatedly posting pictures of oneself is an abnormal behavior.In "amoral" societies, sex sells. There are good reasons as to why people used to be stricter regarding those matters a few centuries ago. Not that they were always smart about it either.The point is, the observation is true, it's a common pattern. But you're somehow right in saying that it's no excuse to seethe on women for one's own failure. Plenty of male artists make it, because they're skilled. And some male artists do play the same vanity card ("look at how bbiiiiiiggggg are my biceeeps loooool").> women should go back to being slavesTaking care of kids and of a home isn't more slavery than having to chop wood regardless of the weather, beating metal all day, being forced to war and whatnot. It's such a distorted point of view. Women haven't been as mis-treated in the past as feminists wants us to believe.It's true that they weren't much on the front page. But, they've been responsible of raising the next generation at a critical period since forever:that's far from a menial task. And since they've basically stopped doing it, the world's going to shit.

This one was done in one hour. I hope to improve in being able to get concepts down without over thinking it too much.
>>7154083>>7154087Cool and film-noir pilled. I salute you artist anon.
>>7154090Thank you friend. I was loosely inspired by bruce timm's work from BTAS. I like his harsh shadows and how the clothes fold. I hope to post 1 picture almost every weekday, and I hope you give it a try too. We can only go up from practice!!
