Anthony Jones started releasing tutorials on Gumroad recently: https://gumroad.com/robotpencil Most of them are probably not useful to a straight-up beginner, but the handful I've purchased have been pretty good. The Greyscale to Color one was beneficial to my recent dragon painting. I've also bought a few new tutorials from Kalen Chock and Maciej Kuciera but I haven't sat down and watched them yet. Kalen has a few vids that are definitely more beginner-oriented.
Havocscope contains information about global black market information, such as prices, a bit sketchy, not sure if it's accurate. http://www.patterncooler.com/editor/ is a cool pattern background maker, really easy. http://bgmaker.ventdaval.com/ another BG maker http://www.eggazyoutatsu.net/atarichanDrawer.html for figure drawing. Two big lists of writing resources, 1, 2.
Stumbled upon this video on Ben Li's blog. This is a must-watch for fans of animation and/or film theory. And pose reference sites: http://charligal-stock.deviantart.com/ http://pyjama-cake.deviantart.com/ http://imperialstarletstock.deviantart.com/ http://tasastock.deviantart.com/ http://tjstock.deviantart.com/ http://senshistock.deviantart.com/gallery/
Is it cool that I post printing/merch resources for potential convention selling folk? (I ventured out the Dob thread and just noticed this was here, shuttup.)
wow theres an art resources thread Everyone pick up their loomis http://alexhays.com/loomis/ Hogarth http://thehizoku.com/index/Burne_Hogarth_-_Dynamic_Figure_Drawing.pdf (He has other really great books, go PB them or something) Hampton https://d1e0u2actw4eb3.cloudfront.n...on- Figure Drawing - Design and Invention.pdf And Vilpuu http://www.rainbow-mouse.net/ebooks...ing and figures/The Vilppu Drawing Manual.pdf (Also check out his videos, really awesome shit) With these four I can promise you your figure drawing will never be the same. I'm studying really hard to be an illustrator (lol broke ass bitch) so idk if you need a hand I can maybe help you gays out Also be sure to check out /ic/ on 4chon they're all a bit cranky assholes but there's a good beginner thread always going on and other neat stuff
Oh that's right me exploring outside of one thread. I recently placed an order of prints at Fireball Printing, a company that I wanted to try for a while. While I love my current print company, Catprint, Fireball is better at pricing custom sizes, which is what I need. They're also cheaper per print. I'll post a review when they come.
I found this website: http://www.sycra.net/ Haven't read much of it tho, but pretty sure it's legitimate in what it teaches. There's also this A light and color tutorial from conceptart.org. that it links to: www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/148355-translation-LINRAN-s-Light-and-Colour-Tutorial-Mini-tut-BIG-download!
Since Sycra was already mentioned twice, I'll bring up Jazza as well and add a note - their stylization may not be appealing to everyone (shit, it isn't for me), but a lot of their tutorial and speedsketch videos have some great info lurking around in them (like how to work in a professional enviroment, how to get started, how to beat art block, how to gain confidence, how to accept criticism, etc) so even if you don't like their particular style, let the videos run in the background while you do something else and maybe you'll pick up some info you needed. Also gonna add ctrl-paint since I didn't see it on the thread yet, and just in case someone who's popping over hasn't heard of it yet. If you're drawing animals, I recommend Ken Hultgren's 'The Art of Animal Drawing' (it actually breaks down animals, not just teaches you how to copy from a photo like 99% of 'how to draw animals' books) Mike Mattesi's 'Force: Animal Drawing' has some good tips on animals in motion if you're doing animation or comics. And that's about all I can remember for now that are actually good and haven't been mentioned yet.
