It's doable, you don't necessarily need to be good at drawing to be good at sculpture/3D, though much of the knowledge between the two intersects. Study anatomy, form, proportions, character design, colour, etc. but rather than drawing the lessons (though you can), try "sketching" them in 3D instead.

>>7151499
>tend
That's the key word there. I've seen quite a few amazing 3D artists who are fairly shit at 2D, though like I said, the skills intersect.

its easier to model than draw. fundamental but abstract knowledge is the wall for good art, but the wall for good 3d is knowledge of your toolset

An hour a day is not enough for 3D. Simply using the software is a lot more technical and it will be more time consuming to get anything to even a basic level of done-ness

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

There are books specifically about drawing clothing folds and drapery, they'd likely help you more than simply watching others draw them.

They're good at showcasing raw fundamentals in abstract like advanced technical perspective and capturing highly realistic accuracy in things like material. But that mathematical focus on something so autistic is at the price of making anything appealing at all beyond "jus like a foto". A lack of soul, if you're so inclined. Like staring into the eyes of a doll.

Nigga you use Linux. You're not gonna pay for anything if you can find workaround to it. Just stay with Krita.
>>
>>7152700
Krita is fucking dogshit, used by hipsters. CSP is still the best program, despite all of this bload, shitty sub plans. CSP 1 is literally all you'll ever need shit like the fish eye lens perspective grid, items can be attached to models, and multilayer liquify are good, but its nothing groundbreaking.
The only thing I don't like is how animation is very limited on the basic CSP, and you need the expensive version.

You know that this is the same exact PS slippery slope? Not to mention the more le cloud-le subscription is something and less local the more likely it is to fuck up. I can guarantee you CSP 4 will have fuckups.

Comics are a medium where the writing is told mostly (sometimes just entirely) through the visuals. This is a hard concept to explain but it is what sets the truly great comics from the good ones.
If writing is the 'only thing' that matters than make a book.

I got the idea to use color palettes ripped from album covers as a way to cheat having to pick my own colors, so far its a massive pain in the ass, but a lot of fun. Ive only listened to 3 songs from this album, go ahead and call me a poser and a fake fan lmao, but I love the cover art and decided to have a go at it since i suck major ass at dealing with complementary palettes. Hopefully this thread doesnt die immediately lol, post drawings using colors from album covers, music videos, band posters, etc !

I don't know but I want to know too. Every time I sit down to draw I start brainstorming ideas and eliminating them because they will take too long and I won't gain enough out of it. Its like art is an investment of my limited time on earth since I'm already 30 and every hour I waste is critical.

how do you come up with this? The pose, the clothing, the colors, the expression, the weird shit all over her body. Even the background seems simple but I could never decide on orange hearts on a yellow background, and the hearts are in 3d and in a swirl. How can you just imagine something interesting and draw it? How do you grind imagination? Everything I draw looks like a family guy screenshot with "correct" anatomy.
>>
>>7154273
You may have made your practice too rigid with fundamental study. You could start by studying the piece in OP's post. Not a 1:1 copy, but in your style. Observe your result after its finished, then maybe think about how you could push the design further to your liking. (Would I want to see a certain distortion in anatomy? Is there another object I could integrate into the design? What value/colors would I maybe like instead? Would I like her in another pose? What abstract shapes within the picture might make this more appealing to me? Etc.)

this guys exercises are retarded, they don't produce results and I don't feel like he utilizes anything he does in his own work. draw vehicles from reference that shit is very hard and you'll feel it more, you have to draw specific circles and lines relative to each other there's a wrong answer vs drawing 100s of arbitrary sloppy circles like he's doing. also if you're just drawing random lines and circles you're not necessarily using those lines you're training when drawing your waifu, you might be using smaller lines with your wrist or going far slower.

I did it bros. I managed to draw two intersecting planes from a vertical length, and also learned to find a height from a perspective length in 2 point perspective.

I still don't know very well how to rotate in an intuitive way, since that should imply moving both VPs and Measuring points in exponential proportion over the horizon. Tell me if I'm wrong, but to simply rotate a given angle I should project that angle from the station point towards the horizon, right?
