The super dark stuff

!J7Xcz4BngY No.1155811 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
I'm looking for some good "dark" artists. Ones who go well over the line and don't give a fuck. And no, I'm not talking about that stupid whore Sarah Lucus, or those fuckwits who make hyperreal sculptures of conjoined twins with dicks for noses, or anything else done with such pathetic attention-seeking intentions.

Good, dark, scary, and (like Goya) charming--if there is such a thing.

Can anyone post some tutorials about idea generation? Specifically, environments?

I don't really know what to do or how to start... If its a normal environment I might do a line drawing then put down lights and darks, but if I'm generating ideas what would I do without going into details, silhoutte only? Are there any tuts or examples of the stages of creating an environment thumbnail?

Can we get a thread of epic sketches? I love pen/pencil works. So simple yet so dynamic.

Who's up for a pixel art thread?

Not sprite rips and emoticons, real pixel art please.

I try to tell someone how to improve their art, and they BAWWLOCK me.
I was not making fun of anyone and I was not trolling. I was TRYING to be helpful.
Apparently I made her so upset that she's going to quit drawing until further notice.

Stay classy, deviantart

been drawing the shit out of animal heads lately.

most of them end up kind of in the same color range.

I feel like I should be using different color combinations- any ideas/input? here is the one I like best from the batch so far, can post more if interested.

they're colored pencil on paper btw.

Hi friends.

Been on 4chan since 2005, never once visited this board until now. I've always loved drawing but never been particularly good at it. I decided fuck it and bought a cheap $30 tablet. I realize it's probably shit. However I read enough reviews and watched some videos and it seems plausable as a starter tablet. While I'm not a good artist I think I'll be able to give it a fair shot with this.

I'm looking for a couple things.

1. Have you ever used this tablet personally. Experiences? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823102007
2. Do you know of a good photoshop tutorial that would help me design shitty concept art? I would be starting at the most beginner level of photoshop
3. What do you think of this that I drew in paint for about 15 minutes. Do you think learning photoshop and practicing will yield any decent results?

If nothing else I'll be able to quickly draw fun reaction images or doodle around.
