i've defenitely seen those and badly would like a book of em. they remind me of galapagos. the book not the place. folks, what are some of the predominant art movements today. what names would you ascribe to the things people do. there's more than post-webinar gutless dada out there, what do you call it! what do you call yourself, i say I'm a "furry neorealist" but, also say this as the caveat that it is more of an expressionism thing than an identity thing. furry neorealist expressionist. cartoonists.

I started doing commissions and figuring out pricing is a nightmare. I always feel like I'm the problem because I'm too slow and if I try to charge based on time invested I'll be charging too much and nobody will buy from me.

Christ yes, I know that one. I know I can draw pretty good, but having the confidence to charge that way is different thing, and yeah, worrying about pricing yourself out a job is a nightmare. Maybe it just comes with experience?

i def would describe most of the batshit insane meme humor we see now among millenials/genx as neo-dadaism tho for real. this time tho instead of reacting to the mindless cruelty of world war it's reacting to the mindless cruelty of late cpaitalism

I think neo dadaism is administered and exploited by corporations moreso than it is a reaction to them

FunkyAl posted:I think neo dadaism is administered and exploited by corporations moreso than it is a reaction to them Yeah they're definitely trying to exploit it. The neo dadaist stuff "administered" by them tends to be a lot less funny and a lot more cringey than stuff that comes from the average online shitposter though (though then again there's a line where knowing where it comes from colors how it's viewed)

I didn't get into Vine videos until after it died, but man if it wasn't the perfect-cocktail incubator for absurdist humor and surrealism.

Anyone have advice about learning to control the weight of your lines? I'm thinking more about my lineart and why I hate it. I thought it was just because I got proportions wrong, and it is to some degree, but even when I get the proportions rights I don't really like my lines. I think a big reason is that I don't vary the weight of my strokes enough. I do try and use thicker and thinner lines in places to convey depth/lighting/whatever but I'd been doing that just by increasing or decreasing the size of the pen. Maybe I should stop doing that.

Try brush pens. The best inkers I've known have used brush pens and learned how to control line weight that way. It will be painful at first but if you keep with it you will get it.

Draw in a larger format than the final piece - working in two-up and shrinking it down hides a lot of sins. Brushes are a pain to get used to, but I think they're worth it.

The pentel pocket brush pen is a very good brush pen for starting out. Then later if you really like working with brushes you can get a kolinsky round brush if you like which is the more traditional option. Though there are plenty of artists who just use brush pens so you don't have to move onto a regular brush if you don't want to.

honestly that seems pretty tame. Like you mostly hang out in the normal part of deviant and a mildly weird part of deviantart that's not the weird part of deviantart

Re: getting into art, I drew a bit when I was young, then my crippling lack of confidence in my teenage years put an end to it, and I didn't start again until I was about 25 as I started running out of patience with getting nothing done with my life. There was nothing forcing me to face up to my aversion to any risk or worry, so in the end I had to put on my big boy pants and do it myself. Not very well, but, you know, baby steps. The most terrifying thing is seeing things I've drawn that felt like yesterday and the date is from two making GBS threads years ago. I can make an A3 page of sketches last two months. So my focus right now is putting pen to paper the instant I get home from work, no matter how little I actually do because that seems to help, and getting to bed on time to get the quality of rest that I pretty much haven't got since I was a child.

The quality and quantity of my output after a week of normal sleep/exercise is like a million times better than my usual stuff, but gently caress is it hard to do that between freelance gigs that pay, personal work, and a kid.
