Also keep an eye on the new google artmuseums project. not a lot now but maybe it will grow?

Bump for sticky.

>>966356
thanks for podcasts, they're my favorite thing, which of those would be the best, or, the "least boring" ? I can't imagine a podcast about art, without some visual medium, I could very well be wrong, and end up subscribing to them all

>>966475
I've only listened to two of them...
Also I've just realized that they are all in the third link, which is a collection of art podcasts. So you can just use the third link.
Drawn Today is pretty serious and interesting, touching on a specific subject in each episode. WIP is a little more relaxed and random.

For sticky.

Yeah a sticky would be great, at least so I don't need to keep checking back constantly to save new links for fear of the thread dying and missing out.

GOD DAMN MOD! STICKY THIS UP!

mods are useless. the stickys right now are also useless and take too much space.

They took down one of them at least

Fuck gesture "tools", your every sketch should be freehand gesture excercise.
Fuck "idea" generators, just draw everything, from panties to robots to trees to a group of anorexic kung fu fighters.
Fuck art communities, they don't teach anything and if you need asspats to draw, you're a failure of an artist.
Fuck art news, watch/read real world news.
Fuck motivation blogs, develop your own style.
Sage? Sage.

>>966763

>Yeah a sticky would be great, at least so I don't need to keep checking back constantly to save new links for fear of the thread dying and missing out.

dear fuckhead, you just made me so paranoid i had to copy all links to a text file. i hate you so much i would like to urinate on your face, then punch you in the face and then set your face on fire.

all though if the thread does die in that case you are my number one guy. *HUGZ N KISSES* :3

>implying the thread will die any time soon.
at worst the next 300 posts will be 'bump'. i doubt we would just let it die.

in any case, wasn't there a piratepad full links a few weeks ago? (which was also meant for a sticky, what apparently never happened)

>>966802
yeah, it's still here : http://piratepad.net/QkkhOzAvLj
I have a feeling it did not make it because it included those links to a ftp server with pirated tutorials, not sure. anyway those links are now down for an indefinite amount of time (infos on the server are on bitlegend.com), so I replaced them with other ones from that thread going on right now.

I haven't got much to contribute with but here I go. Read it. You need to know this:

Why doesn't anybody make one of these sites filled with the linked posted here.

/sci/ did it, and they organized it pretty well to

bump for archival

>>967518
I've no idea how to do that and I'm not interested in doing it.

>>967518
i support this notion. we really need a copypasta site to link to, specially now that summer is fast approaching!

let me know if i can be of any help c :

>>967528
yeah bad thing is I have no idea how they did this.

Also I'm notoriously lazy :|

I'll ask /sci/ though if they can point me in the right direction.

actually I think I'll tackle this endeavor

https://sites.google.com/site/artandwhatnot/

this is the site I will put all this shit in. bookmark it or something.

Alright guys I put every single link that is in this thread with the available descriptions in this one juicy link

https://sites.google.com/site/artandwhatnot/

I will now make an email account specifically made for taking requests for links to put on the site (I would make it open edit but I'm afraid some troll will fuck everything up)

hope you guys enjoy it. Sorry its ugly :(

>>967537
that is PERFECT yes!

Matt Archambault's youtube page, really great little tidbits, he encourages you to buy his long-form tutorials, but you can extract what you need from his uploads

alright everybody here is the email you can use to send me requests of links you want me to put on the /ic/ site. just send me:

-link
-description of link

I'll evaluate it (just to see if its not a troll link) and post it up

Fuck, I already started one too.

>>967564

>>967564
Well, I'm done putting in most of the links found in this thread. I plan on cleaning up the respective sections a bit more later and weeding out the less helpful sites. But for now I'm too tired.

Contact me at [email protected] for suggestions and such.

Also, damn it, I better do some more drawing.

>implying you guys are going to keep those sites up and circulating
just pin this thread

At least archive the damn thing if you can't get a hold of a sticky.

Archive this bitch.im on my phone :((((((

considering the number of people who have asked for archive, it should already be, so there's no need for me to.

#archive

>>967838
except, of course, if everybody thinks the same thing.

Pretty good ideas at www.hence72.blogspot.com

#sticky, #archive and #allthatjazz

>>967705
I'll try my bestest!

I'll be cleaning up the sections a lot today, later.
maybe add a comments section to the main page to make suggestion giving even easier.

Would anybody be interested in a DVD exchange?
I have some stuff that isnt available on the net, but might be of use to you, but i dont want to ruin the artists. Would anybody be interested in a private tutorial exchange sort of thing?

I cant pay for any new tutorials, if anybody has A Matt Archambault or two i would share mine.
What do you think would be suitable, password protected, passwords exchanged through email?

>>969223
honestly...this thread isnt THAT good or worth stickying. Its a bunch of contemporary short sighted art. not bad, but still kinda meh

>>969266
Having the resources in one place will stop a lot of the people who come to /ic/ just to ask a question like "I want to learn to draw. Where do I start?" or ask for tutorials on things like colour theory or just generally all the same old questions that clogs up /ic/ everyday.

>>969287
seconded, sticky this please

why is FZD so low in that web, that shit is gold

>this thread is still alive

Brands of the World is the largest library of freely downloadable vector logos.

for all you designer fags out there

Why do you need a sticky so hard? i'll tell you why.

Most of you faggots won't even take the sweet time to bookmark every single link here, hell, you won't even take the liberty of browsing it all.You'll give up, and live with the idea that you could always come back to your sweet stickied thread and you could always have time to browse it all.

Guess what, for all the time you've been bitching about it you could've checked them all already.

What's that? what if your bookmarks get deleted? Grow a goddamn spine and get some responsibilities, make a .txt and dump it there you stupid cunt.

HDD formatted and your shit is lost? Put it on a fucking flashdrive.

You're a cheap faggot who doesn't have cash for one? well, you've just past beyond pathetic, use the piratepad, dump it the fuck somewhere if you're so insecure about your shit.

You want everyone new to see these links? Ask yourself, would you share your piece of bread with every random fuck that stumbled here?

You wish to spread the word and help fellow drawfags this way? They have hands and brains, if they will need it, they will find it.

That is all.

Hello Dave Rapoza.

Bump. Also pirate bay has a ton of art book downloads. If you look in the right place I believe there is one with 100+ art instructionals including loomis and many other books on that level to help you learn.

I would really love to see more books/resources about proper line work though, my lines need significant instruction.

sticky this thread?

This thread is beast.

>>971205
Thank you, I've been wanting to watch a lot of these videos!

Don't mind me, I'm just bumping because for a moment I thought this thread died.

http://comictool.blogspot.com/

how do you sticky a thread? do you submit a vote or somehting?

>>972886
nope, a mod will sticky it, but knowing how much love /ic/ gets, if anything gets stickied it's usually something totally useless (see both current stickies)

thanks for the information! This is really useful.

>>972887
It's because our mods are lazy fuckers. They stickied those two threads not to our advantage, but they were tired of constant deleting reported threads like these.

ARCHIVE THIS

I totally meant to post this great link in this thread I used it in another. Both links have the same content basically, but the flickr has just the pictures without the bulk of blogger posts. Also, it's like the animation backgrounds site, except kind of a collection of great 20th century illustrators for ads and magazines. The guy updates virtually everyday, I would only recommend the flickr, but he does interesting stuff with the blog.
