Why would there be books on how to paint from imagination? How the fuck would you actually teach that? You can't. The point is to learn the art fundamentals from
>thousands of drawing books on construction
>thousands of drawing books on anatomy
>thousands of drawing books on perspective
>thousands of painting books on how to paint from life
Then to start creating art from imagination based on those fundamentals. Basically, you're asking us how to use your OWN IMAGINATION like a retard.';

To render well all you really need to know is how light and color work. It's arguably much simpler to understand than everything else; the hard part is applying it well with the tools you have. But even than that's more of a matter of execution, not knowledge, so that's a struggle that pretty much anybody can overcome. Also picrel is pretty popular, dunno how you couldn't find it.';

Draw from a reference first

this shit is optional.
most artist back then literally have their reference right in front of them. they have an entire stage alongside actors posing with their most dramatic facial expression and figure, sometimes being tied for hours in that same stiff position.';

Ron Tiner's "Drawing without a Model" would be one, no? He also wrote another called "Drawing from your imagination". Also the guy who did Keys to Drawing, Bert Dodson, also has a book dedicated entirely to doing imaginative drawing called "Keys to Drawing with Imagination".
So that's three just off the top of my head.';

so how many pieces have you made? you might want to actually start making things in order to *ahem* work that part/those parts of your brain...Steamboat Willie/Mickey Mouse wasn't made from just one drawing. As primitive as he seems from 100 years ago, I'm pretty sure Walt was drawing other things first. Same with Yoko Taro';

Man, if that doesnt define /ic/ then I don't know what does.';

'I think the words of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres put it best.

"To draw does not simply mean to reproduce contours; the drawing does not simply consist in the idea: the drawing is even the expression, the interior form, the plan, the model. Look what remains after that! The drawing is three fourths and a half of what constitutes painting. If I had to put a sign over my door to the atelier, I would write: School of drawing, and I'm certain that I would create painters."';

bad book. It teaches you how to render primitive forms, and nothing else. Nothing on how to paint landscapes or figures.';

'When you do it a lot your brain starts to fill in the blanks itself when you paint from imagination. You have to do a lot of studies for that though. Or just use references';
