Hey, you.
Yeah, you...
When are (you) going to grow up and stop drawing anime?
It's time to learn some REAL art

Were concept artists replaced by AI already? I was told they would be among first to go

there it is, plain as day
that entire image should be under 1 year of work

Most of you don't know this, but getting better at drawing is literally just increasing your visual library. That's it. All skills are just vocabulary, and to get better at skill, you need to improve the vocabulary of that skill, aka, the fundamental building blocks of every aspect of carrying out that task.

Construction doesn't really exist, per se. Construction, as most people think about it, is just an elaborate use of the sphere, the box, and the cylinder. To learn these basic forms, you need to know what they look like from every angle. To learn what they look like from every angle, you can either draw them from life, or draw them over and over again, from imagination, and correcting your mistakes.

But that doesn't change the fact that you knowledge of the box is just a series of 2d images. That's right. You can't actually draw the box. You can only draw the box from certain angles. Please get this into your head. A professional artist can draw a box from more angles, more precisely, and with more control, than a beginner can. A beginner might only be able to draw 5-6 variations of the 3/4 angle of the box, but a professional might be able to draw 20-30 variations. Even before his death, KJG was quoted as saying "I still don't fully understand the box."

He stunted an entire generation artistically.

this nigga?

O hallowed lord, O Master Zhu. Guide us, thine flock, from this board of sin; bear our weakness, and in doing, cleanse us of our misconceptions. Thy teachings be light; thy voice, reason. Reveal and repel the imps, O lord; the demons that would muddy our path with thoughts of 'talent,' 'neuroplasticity,' and other such deceptions, for they seek to consume us.

Behold, these crustacean beings of the Bucket Down Under, envy incarnate, they fashion lies to ensare the faithless, to cast them into the great Bucket and swallow them whole. They eat the lost, and in doing, convert them unto their fold. The fate all those who defy your word face, the sole destination for all followers of the false God of talent.

We are your old, your talentless, your un-Japs; your faithful, your eager, your potential. O Grandmaster, teacher, Lord, deliver us unto gains, employment, and self-satisfaction. Eternal praise be yours, as all and more is your due for eternal salvation. Amen.

Join, you devoted, in appreciation of his gifts. Thank you Feng Zhu. I'm going to make it.

Yea, but he was a lot younger when the picture was taken.

NO! Absolutely not, only one way to make it, you must draw 10 hours every day. There are no shortcuts or easy paths. Unless you want to be an NGMI without fundamentals for the rest of your art career!

Now what are you doing posting on 4chan when you can be drawing instead? Go and draw right now, I do not care if it sucks, you MUST draw anyway!

Not that guy but Rapoza is nothing special. I’ve been following his work from his CA days and he’s definitely improved but not by much. His work is just barely pro and really, 99% of it is just lifeless. His paintings especially. They’re just overly rendered and all have the same bland “dramatic” lighting. His comic work is a bit better but not by much, it’s lifeless as well. Just look here >>3673436 . There’s nothing going on here at all, bland line work and the eyes are so dead she looks like a doll. Dave is probably one of the most overrated artists in the industry. He’s very technically skilled but that’s all he has. My work isn’t as technically refined as his but it feels alive and is 10x as evocative as his best work.

mangaka huh? this team aint for me, it's just not COOL you know? I like cool! spaceships, hovercrafts, crazy alien worlds, you gotta really hone in on the area of the industry you want you know?

Why do you browse /ic/ instead of drawing?
