Welcome to /life/. Life drawing is a great way to solidify your understanding of perspective, forms, and movement in the real world to apply them to your own works and pieces. Drawing from life is critical to your development as an artist, yet unfortunately ignored by many artists. Draw from life. It has all of the answers to any question you have.

What are your unpopular art opinions?

Mine is that I think that you should always begin a portrait drawing with a skull or it should be drawn at some point during the process, and I think any other method that doesn’t include the skull will end up anatomically inaccurate

Advice?

I havent been feeling good about my current style. It all started when i tried to make ass and more anatomical shapes, all the minimalism and straight lines didnt help me with it, I made some results using and AI of my own art to test the results and try to learn from them. Is just that i feel that my current style is too simple and minimalistic, wich is good because it was what i always aim at when making designs but sometimes i feel like its way too simple. I feel like it doesnt translate well to some aereas and isnt versatile enough idk.

/Studies/ General

>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.
>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.
>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.
- Andrew Loomis, Creative Illustration

/Studies/ General is all about improving your art and never settling for mediocrity. Every artist is a student, forever and ever. Anybody, from beginner to pro, can post here. Any style is accepted. Critiques are welcome and encouraged. Let's make this a productive thread!

We're encoding the links to keep bots and scripts from recognizing them as URLs and harvesting/reporting them. Some of the encoded links *may* have multiple layers - like ogres ... or onions! You might have to "peel" them more than once to get to the good part.

Kuvshinov Ilya Lost Media

With how much we just love Ilya on this board, some of us must have some of the things he's scrubbed from the internet backed up, right?

I know he had a manga that died after one issue, but at least there's reference to that online. I remember a specific music video he was part of that's fucking impossible to find, though.

It was about an orange foxgirl going about her day, then she gets raped by a werewolf. Some shit happens, then she finds out that the werewolf was actually a regular guy and falls in love with him.

I have such a strong memory of it, but I cannot find any reference online to it and I'm convinced there has to be more shit he's tried to get rid of.
