What separates /ic/ from being able to render like this?

>>7605994 (OP)
I honestly just find it ugly.

99% of /ic/ can't draw a floating loomis head, so they cope by insisting rendering is totally easy anyway but also gay so they won't do it although they definitely could if they tried, which they won't because it's beneath them

/ic/ is literally:
80% howies or /beg/s.
19% social media whores shilling their derivative animu/moe blob style and stagnating digital fags
1% actual good artists (who are all trad)

Zooming in. Not zooming in.

I would be asking myself why I'm wasting my time doing this. I don't even like drawing so why would I spend hours rendering?

>>7606017
based
fuck drawing

fellow stagchads wya

>>7605994 (OP)
most of us simply don't have the skills to do it
but once you learn how it's made, you probably won't want to spend 100s of hours rendering anyways

>>7606045
this shot right here would take me 5 months

>>7606054
you're pretty good

>>7605994 (OP)
Ruan Jia would spend several months on a single study, back in the day
The average anon invests that kind of time in shitposting instead

Source, anon?

not him, he had at least one article in imaginefx, see >>7606067

This isn't really 500 hours of work on one piece. It's just one guy changing his mind between pauses over and over again.

You've described an AD

>>7606128
WTF IS THIS

>>7606067
>>7606074
I could do either of these in 30 minutes.

>>7606203
not both? you should paint more

>>7606045

This shit isn't honestly THAT impressive. But it does work like jingling keys for perma/beg/s.

>>7606217
this comment is meaningless unless you post your work, btw, just an fyi

>>7606220
You have no right to suggest it's hard if you don't pyw. No right. What does a /beg/ like you know about what's difficult. Shameful.

>/ic/ shit posting about Ruanjia
Home.

Fuck off, Nile

>>7606067
sketch looked better lmao

>>7606217
it's difficult but not particularly interesting

>>7608675
it's not any less interesting than inking

It's a digital drawing. Just turd-polish it for days until you have the result you want. Abuse texture brushes. Color sliders. Liquify. Layer modes.
I'd be impressed by it if it was painted on a real canvas. This is just a waste of time.

>>7606014
Hah. Good one. Now post your shitty trad paintings to prove you're not just talking out your ass. Spoiler alert: you won't.

>>7605994 (OP)
Idk I have no Idea how
I draw lineart then make it fancy and then color underneath
Dont even know where I would start for an arstyle without visible lines

I don't wanna spend more than 20 hours on a painting but I want to have results like OP's it's so sad

>>7611288
just draw a small part, like a nose or ear

How do I render like this?

>>7612043
Render with your dick, think with it too

>>7612043
hard round

>>7605994 (OP)
Skills.

>>7612047
I slathered my cock on the display tablet, as I came it made a perfect, white silhouette of the image. Thank you for telling me how to render like that man. Also as a side effect I've also became the best MGE player and now I'm ass-fucking medic twinks in real life.

>>7605994 (OP)
not enough learning resources, it doesn't help that the term "rendering" makes searching for it impossible because of 3D, I also curse the retards who attached that term to "cutting a character out of some background".

>>7612133
What would a rendering tutorial really be on, though? Painting smaller and smaller detail?

>>7612169
the technique of course, the brush strokes and the layering.
some artists can do a fairly good render with minimum brush strokes, while others rely on boring grids, the later technique is effective but very stale, it's no different than painting pixel by pixel.

>>7605994 (OP)
Hyperrrealism always seemed too boring and tedious to me. It's cool that some artists paint like this, but it's not my goal to do this. I always just wanted to draw manga and do some nice simple illustrations. Not spend hours on every pixel of the image.

>>7612255
and that's why ur here and he's in the industry

>>7605994 (OP)
I CAN MAN I FUCKING CAN

>>7612133
just add a relevant keyword, like 'digital painting'.

>>7612255
that's not hyperrealism, retard
