How far off is the show? Are there any local arts bodies you can apply to for exhibition assistance? Sorry if it's irrelevant, I'm basing this off experience here in Australia where this would be common. The only thing is you need some time (a few weeks to months) to get it all sorted.

So in some magical fantasy world where I can buy a large format scanner on a whim, what kind of hardware would I want that can scan 11x17 documents?

How do you get in contact with a good literary agent? I don't want to just pick the first guy on google, and I honestly don't have a clue.

How would I draw a curve in two and three point perspective? As in a bend in a road, or a circular object. I'm trying to learn to draw, and knowing how to construct curves in perspective would help a lot for more fluid drawings. Pointy shapes like cubes and rectangles are easy, just add vertical or horizontal lines where appropriate, but curves are hard to get right.

NESguerilla posted:If they are charging you a registration fee I wouldn't even bother because that's bullshit. Yes... scam. Stay away. Rule of thumb is you pay shipping to, they pay shipping from. Most decent shows have some kind of negligible ($10-20) app fee to keep every random person from submitting work.

I'm attempting to do a run of some shirts for a local band and the design calls for a two pass screenprint, which is fine, but I'm having an immense amount of trouble finding the colour of ink I need to print the shirts. I need to find the colours: (light magenta)#FF55FF and (light cyan)#55FFFF and I've only been able to find the light magenta. Anybody have any suggestions on where to look for slash who has these colours? Hell, even a place where you can custom order specific colours for more money would do, I am having zero luck searching for such a place.

neonnoodle posted:You need to be aware that RGB colors are not the same as the colors you can mix with paint. RGB colors are literally glowing because they are created by shining colored lights into your eyes. Unless you get fluorescent inks, no ink color is going to feel the same as the luminous quality of an RGB color. I know I'm not going to be able to get an exact match, I just can't seem to find even a similar color of cyan. I suppose I could mix white into the ones I've found to lighten it up.

Vermain posted:Dubiety? I don't think doubt quite works. I mean more a failure of suspension of disbelief in a narrative (in this case, film). It's in this paragraph: quote:[...]it’d be be completely unbelievable if it was not a true story and had to be believed. “Based on a true story” usually means the director and writer took an enormous amount of creative license in interpreting the real events. Compliance, on the other hand, is an authentic retelling -- the wikipedia article can be read as a scene by scene breakdown of the film. This begs the question of why it needed to be a movie in the first place, and my answer would be that seeing it play out visually imposes the horror on the viewer in the way a news bit never could. And the disorienting unconvincingness smartly replaces the plausibility that a narrative typically needs. I can’t believe this is happening becomes I can’t believe this happened. Obviously I can just rewrite the sentence in different way to say the same thing, I just got stumped on trying to find a noun that conveys that meaning and was hoping to improve my vocabulary.

I think phoniness is close, but something that is fake doesn't quite match up with something that is unconvincing (at least in my head). I think "implausibility" might fit if I change the "plausible" later in the sentence to something else. Something like "And the disorienting implausibility of the cast’s actions smartly replaces the suspension of disbelief that a narrative typically needs" communicates the idea I think.

I'm no writer, but is "suspension of disbelief" really interchangeable with "plausibility" there? Suspension of disbelief is an act of the audience, while plausibility is describing the matter. Again, I'm no writer.

Suspension of disbelief is an act of the audience, while plausibility is describing the matter. I think it works because in that sentence plausibility is framed as the experience of the audience. So if something you deem implausible occurs, there is a chance it will break your suspension of disbelief.

I'm stumped on this Photoshop issue. I have a 300+ file frame animation. Now I want to make a new animation that has 3 copies of the original, masked to look like they're popping out of a folder:  My biggest issue is that if I group layers together and duplicate them, the new group does not step through each layer visibility in the animation. So while I can make the transformations easily, I really don't want to try and step through 900 layers / frames to set visibility.

Is Photoshop the only program you have access to? I think After Effects would deal with something like this way easier.

The Dave posted:Is Photoshop the only program you have access to? I think After Effects would deal with something like this way easier. Yep, this is your solution, lord funk. Photoshop has always been pretty terrible at animation. CS6 has a slightly better timeline, but I'm not sure if it'd solve the problem you're having.

Here's a quick question that I'm not sure where to file, so this seems like a good spot. Are there any good web resources for finding models for figure drawing? It might seem like a dumb question but google casts such a wide net that it's hard to find nude figures for drawing resources that are not a) figure drawings done by others and b) porn. I'm looking for original photographs to work from and while some of the porn is helpful, you have to wade through a ton of poo poo to find very little of what would actually be useful for figure drawing. Maybe my google fu just sucks.

Pixelovely is good for actual photographs of models, but the poses are limited and often "artistic". Posemaniacs has lots and lots of poses, but is all done in Poser, so the figures often lack gravity (like, actual "this is how a human body would behave in Earth gravity") and don't do as good a job of representing the actual human body.

I'm mostly learning how to draw with pencils, but something's been bugging me: what sort of grade do I use for actual contour lines, and what grade do I use for actual shading work? I want to get some smoother shading done to work on my ability to perceive shadow but it seems the pencils I use are either great at making lines but poo poo at shading or vice versa.

I've been just sifting through the deviantart "artistic nude" section for my bulk practice sketching. Unfortunately, it seems to be only good for female models and burly burly men for the most part. You need to wade through a lot of "look at my dick" pictures and myspace shots though. To ask a question, on the same note, is there anything wrong with that? It's been quite helpful as a "Ok, here's stuff to do gestures/studies of" resource, and I doubt there's any real legal teeth against it, but I occasionally have a little sense of unease about using deviantart photos. There's also quite a few places out there that sell picture sets for art stuff, if you are willing to pay some for it.

I have an Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 question. All of my output files are coming out blurry. What's causing this, and how do I fix it? Source Settings: 864 x 486 (1.0) 29.97 fps, Progressive 48000 HZ, Stereo Set up to Match Sequence Settings. I'm not sure if this is enough info to pin-point the problem. Let me know if any other additional information's needed. melon cat fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Aug 25, 2013 |

Never mind, I've worked out something better. I'm trying drawing a map of the plan view and the side view relative to the light source of a few objects and drawing the light source in a relevant position on both views. Then drawing straight lines from the source to the outermost corners/edges of the objects. This way I know the direction that the shadows fall in on the plan view and how far they spread horizontally, but I also have an idea of how far up each object the shadows in front of it reach on the side view. Pic example here:  Green lines are rays hitting the outermost walls/corners. Grey lines are Guidelines. Green shading is area in shadow. Black lines are objects themselves and outermost bounds of the image. BioEnchanted fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Aug 25, 2013 |

Does anyone have any experience with blackwing pencils? I'd never even heard of them, but I typically just stick to using the same old random mechanical pencils and I figured hey, you can get a sampler pack for like $10 shipped on Amazon so why not try something new? They sound great by description but I wondered if anyone knew what they were like.

I already asked this in the self-taught thread, but I thought I'd ask here, too. Does anyone have tutorials for how to do hair? It seems like every time I try to draw hair/color/shade hair, I end up with anime-esque hair and I don't like it. I'm using SAI.
