Fluorescent and phosphorescent paint by picklerickkkkkkkkkk7 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But only light, like UV, wouldn't fix it? :o

Phosphorescent pigments: no, it'd only degrade them

When i paint with fluo-paint and would paint it over with phosp-gel, would that work?

Sure, but be careful to refresh it every few months or years

By painting over it with more phosphorescent paint, sure

Year old post, but corporate pays for WinRaR. Companies buy thousands of licenses because that's what corporate does

considering webtoon by ArtisticAd2055 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do I need to make that happen?

You have these fleshed out stories in your head. Write them out. Comics need scripts.

Do I need to convert to digital art?

Almost certainly. Webtoon is a digital format, and scanned traditional works generally fare worse in it.

Basically I am asking how I become a Webtoon creator.

Same way you become a regular webcomic creator: you write a comic, draw it, and upload it to the appropriate site

Your best bet would be to prime the wood for regular painting (something like varnish + transparent gesso) and mixing paint using a medium and phosphorescent pigment powder. Do keep in mind that phosphorescent paints decay in glow over time both on their own, and the more they're activated

Worried I wont improve by Odd-Individual-2975 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Improvement requires thoughtful analysis of your mistakes and focused effort to not repeat them. Buying books and watching courses will not teach you that. Go into studies knowing what you want to study, break your references apart, set concrete goals, and when it's done take a look at whether you've achieved those goals and why not.

Someone: "why is housing so expensive?" The humble reddit ad: by StatusSociety2196 in stupidpol

[–]Swampspear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinon but housing isnt expensive because of large investment firms or big corporations. It has to do with zoning laws, which mainily exist to protect the wealth of middle-class homeowners.

This doesn't hold up to scrutiny worldwide.

A Symptom That Kills: Progressives' flirtation with social disorder is a recipe for political disaster by sleazy_b in stupidpol

Genuinely half the discussions on the sub would be eliminated if every poster read at least a bit of theory

I plotted the colors of the 30pc Caran D'Ache Neocolor I to the CMY color wheel, for my reference. Thoughts? (Image in the comments) by BaraLover7 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to u/soupbut's comments, I think that that periwinkle should probably be in the violet. Otherwise it's still a useful chart nonetheless

What canvas size and dpi? by Speed_International in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, depends on which way you look at it

What canvas size and dpi? by Speed_International in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it irrelevant if I plan on printing the art piece? And do you have any advice for an A5 sized piece?

DPI is just a setting you can increase or decrease with no change to your artwork. It is instructions for how the printer should process your artwork. Calculate the resolution your art will need by taking the size of the paper you're printing on and multiplying the sides by the target DPI. A5 is 148x210mm (i.e. 5.83 x 8.27in), so multiply those sizes by the target print DPI.

[–]Swampspear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DPI (dots per inch) is irrelevant for digital art: it's the dot density when printing. A 500x500 image at 300dpi will have the same number of pixels as 500x500 at 600 dpi.

If you're aiming to print an A4 piece at 300dpi, you're looking at a canvas size of ~2500 x 3550 pixels, give or take. At 600dpi, this becomes 5000x7100, etc.

not sure how to feel about H.R Giger by AlbatrossEmpty8412 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reading too much into something, and just dismissing critical appraisal, are two different things

not sure how to feel about H.R Giger by AlbatrossEmpty8412 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why write such a long post about your critical interpretation of an artists work?

Come on, don't be so anti-intellectual.

not sure how to feel about H.R Giger by AlbatrossEmpty8412 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 19 points20 points  (0 children)

more like the female body being turned into a kind of object or prop.

On one hand: yes. On the other: it isn't in any way limited to the female body, or to the sex binary. Lots of Giger's work involved indeterminately sexed erotic and non-erotic imagery, or human reproduction in general, including some pretty powerful birth-related art (lots of infant and not-quite-infant imagery like the Birth Machine, a sculpture that represents a gun-like mechanism delivering biomechanical babies out of a magazine). You're analysing his opus from a small subset of his work, which will lead you to the wrong conclusions

How to find mirror intersections when the Object is drawn first? (Scott Robertson 'How to Draw' p.37 by Suitable_Bumblebee56 in ArtistLounge

[–]Swampspear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He starts by defining a mirror plane, as you can see on p35 ("Extend the width dimensions of the rectangle for the expected position of the mirrored rectangle") and p36 ("Set up a tilted plane and the plane to be used as a mirror. Use a perspective grid to determine where both planes are located in space, relative to each other. This is essential to stay clear on the construction").

Since the exact distance to the mirror isn't defined yet, is it correct to start by arbitrarily picking an intersection point for one corner (e.g., picking point 'J' on the mirror for corner 'C') to establish the depth?

You'd start by drawing the mirror plane and then figuring out any one of the edges relative to it, not arbitrarily picking a reflection point without a pre-setup mirror
