This isn't true, art is not a talent by any means. Sure, some people have a knack for it, but anybody can learn the technical aspects of art themselves, if they dedicate time into learning essentials. Anatomy, the elements of art, design principles, perspective, color theory, drawing and painting techniques... Stuff like that. What not everybody can do, is come up with original or interesting concepts. I think that's what you meant.
tl;dr, the ravings of a low grade hack, who can't code for shit, or create art at all. In short. You have no soul.
Anyone who's ever written code is screaming BULLSHIT and punching their monitor. You fucking toad - no code is ever perfect. I was going to accuse you of arrogance in making that statement, but after consideration, I believe it's just stupidity. Fuck off and die.
I'm fine with that. I don't write code, I code in Python language. I plan to move on C++ eventually. I'm still at the beginner stages but yes, perfection is always debatable. I'm not saying it's easy, and I copy/paste pieces of code a lot for the sake of being faster but I find the way it solves math sums flawless... I don't understand your outburst of anger though. I guess what I said might have sound outrageous for a professional... I was not talking about complex stuff though, just the basics! I will die with no regrets, thank you.
My point is, you're an unemployable piece of scum, who is taking some bullshit community college courses or something, and you really have no right to comment on matters of computing or artistry.
Wow. The level of gayness to openly admit to the above is at a whole new level. I'm a big fan of not reinventing the wheel, and not rewriting code that you know works is a good idea. What you said was so fucking outrageous to anyone who's spent hours debugging real code, and has wept hot tears of rage when the fucking compiler keeps telling you that stuff you've written is fucked, and that you're a cunt for even trying to write code (OK, I've read between the lines on some of the debug messages). I may have overreacted slightly, but in my defense, fuck you.
I was talking to some professors at an art collage some time ago and he showed me this dandy site called http://motionographer.com/ It has job listings from all over, short term, long term, and freelance. It also has a long list of resources and tutorials on the left on the front page.
I could take out a loan and come visit you. Or we could meet at the airport if I ever pass through. (Nicaragua has international airports, right?)
So yesterday I went to my friend's home and got him to make some gesture drawing (sometimes with hilarious results) and eye-ball random things. He is getting better, slowly but doing it. Wanted to take some pictures to make an archive of his evolution but he keeps erasing everything LOL
For a starter IT IS. I placed random objects in front of him: A bottle, a pack of cotton, etc. and he was trying to drawn what he knows rather than what he saw. Example: The cotton pack was square so he went on and drew a square and then details. Told him it was great that he could identify the shape, but that he shouldn't lock his mind on it but instead break the pattern until it looks like the object in front of him. Yes, the cotton pack structure is a square. But it's a square? Nope, there were round borders and folds on it too. And then he stopped drawing the cotton pack that was on his mind and started to focus his eyes on the cotton pack in front of him. He did it nicely but then erased it when he was done, lol... Good idea, lol.
Is there any chance of saving the very original in its material (assuming he draws on paper rather than going full digital) form as well? I think that he needs to learn at least a bit of respect for his own works that still required his time and effort, as doubtful as their quality may appear to him. Given that he - I suppose - hasn't drifted onto straits of deviantART yet, continuous and persistent storage of his artworks will not impede his developement.
