I just can't get it started when I want to draw, even if I really want to. I think it's called executive dysfunction or some shit. Does anyone have any tips on how to get myself to actually do the actions in the first place?For the record, I probably need to be medicated above all, but don't have the time and money to get a shrink to see and diagnose me so I can't get adderall or something, and as far as I know there isn't any dealers near me with addy for sale.
Kill yourself, seriously. Try to reroll with better stats. You will never amount to anything in your state. Die.
>>7171041There's a productivity rule called "the 10 second rule" I believe. As soon as you think about drawing, within 10 seconds you start drawing - don't try making a full blown illustration or anything, just trying scribbling, make it stress free. If you're having fun, you'll keep drawing, if not, well you drew a bit that day at least.Make sure your drawing materials are at the ready, and your desk is clean with no distractions, etc, so you don't have any excuses to not just start drawing when you decide to.Ultimately your biggest issue is self discipline, rather than ADHD.
>>7171041Go to the doctor. Alternatively, look for another hobbie, one that you could actually made this time.Alternatively, kill yourself.

>>7154217Her upper body looks genuinely detached. Hard to miss desuRemember that a spine/the torso doesn't bend sideways when looking behind the back; it twists the the torso to allow the neck to have more reachI can't even blame it on the perspective.If you want to have her back showing like that, you have to adjust her upper body or it will look weirder the more people look at it and realize it don't look right
>>7165131Good catch.
Where does one get nsfw commissions in 2024?Anyone got any discord servers they can recommend? The forum world seems completely dead by now, which is what I last remember being a thing. Is hentai foundry still popular and does it get enough traffic to get an artist exposure/commissions?Help a brother out /ic/
>>7168118uuoooohhhhhh cat nunny cunny ToT
>>7168541>@curvylucoaYou're not getting commissions because your art is beg teir. Learn anatomy and how to draw faces. Your nowhere close to ready to give commissions.
>>7170767That's why I thought of doing free commissions to get better at drawing. Of course my drawing skills are so shitty that I can't even get free commissions. It's so fucking embarrassing.
>>7168746lots of blur color mixing
>>7170989Anon, you need a reality check, and I say this with a very good inention: do not post anything for a good year or so. Draw and do not show it to anyone, because its pointless, but keep track of your progress which you'll eventually see. People are not interested in it, and no pro will take you under his wings or redline your stuff. You are at the stage, when you shouldn't even do loomis head, but a shitton of cylinders, and boxes.
Post art book/tutorial pages/screenshots without context
finally a good fucking thread
I know art in general isn't in the best place when it comes to monetization thanks to things like AI and all, but something that's still making tons of revenue online is content creation, mainly videos and stuff, but social media as a whole. I've never been more than a hobby artist, but I'd like to use my art as a side hustle, though commissions now seem like they wouldn't cut it alone, so I want to make content, videos of timelapses and/or some lessons of what I know perhaps. I know now the main platforms for art are Instagram and Twitter, while for videos it's YouTube and TikTok, anyone here have any experience on any of these at all?>How does monetization work between them?>Which one is best for a hobbyist to have at all?>Which is the quickest to get monetized in still?>Are any of 'em more unreliable than the others?I'm thinking of making videos and content for all of them on the side, though I've never done it at all before, and have no idea of what it takes for a real shot at getting monetized, not famous, just a bit of extra money for the month doing a task I don't find too troublesome or difficult. Are there any general tips and words of advice I should be hearing before doing any of this? I know that the chances of me losing motivation and giving up early are high, but I've got a drive and a part of me wants to at least try this out before giving up on the idea altogether. I feel like I could help out a bit too, we can always teach something we do.
>>7169490 go to biz
>>7169490You need to be popular first on certain niche to be able to monetize

I got a positive response so here's the first thread for studying Figure Drawing for All It's Worth by Andrew Loomis. Here's a basic schedule for the first chapter, but feel free to ignore it and work at your own pace. A schedule for the rest of the book will be discussed later.Start by reading the first 32 pages. Don't worry about copying the drawings yet. Pay attention to the basic proportions pages. When you're done, got to page 38.Pages 38-49: 2 weeks. Take your time learning the mannequin. Try drawing it in various poses. Pages 50-56: 1 weekThen spend 1 week going back and studying the pages that were skipped.Don't just copy! Try redrawing Loomis' drawings from memory after your initial copy, and take note of what you got wrong. Apply what you've learned to photo reference and try inventing figures from imagination.The book:https://files.catbox.moe/d2501d.pdfAnd here's some refs:https://files.catbox.moe/7246sw.zipGood luck!
>>7168736jk just not posting tonight or tomorrow, but we will get through this difficult chapter.
still struggling with perspective
>>7169819i used a mirror on the drawing and i think its better now.
pretty rough still need another week on this page i reckon.

>>7169328Damn, this canvas was doodle gallore. My kind of stuff, shame I missed it.
What's a good, brainless drawing exercise I can grind while binging youtube videos? Is there anything a bit more advanced than stuff like primitive forms (pic related)?
>>7169135i think itd be good for angle sighting if you know how to do that since a boxe's angle is going to probably be the easiest thing to replicate
>>7170600oopsie this was meant for >>7170379another thing for mindless exercises is just doodling from imagination or doodling things around you and applying what you know to those doodles, shouldnt take too much brain power if youre not focusing too hard and will probably help you get a better intuitive understanding of the fundementals you know
>>7167181You should just make AI art . You can even make a quick AI artwork while you're at a convenient stopping point while playing a video game.
>>7167181everything from this book
>>7170600>>7170603yeah, I guess the conclusion I'm coming to is toj ust focus on what I'm doing, when I'm doing it kekthanks for the advice fren
>>7170827Do it.

>>7170850But I was promised lions. You lied. You’re a god damn liar. I hope lions rape you to death.
>>7170722to answer the question in the picture posted: No, it "reads" As some one who has no idea how to draw very well so it looks like neither and the artist needs to refine there skills before they ask the question.To answer the bait thread question: You are a retard if you think that is the case, please kill yourself.>>7170850>Queer planet>just shows male giraffe's competing for mates>since both genders look nearly the same to normies you can get away with saying 'competing for another males attention'I want more lions as well you fucking faggot
How do "just draw" fags cope with this?
>>7170183Thank you again Wise Chinese master
The one thing you can learn from Christory is that this fat fuck never learned from his mistakes. That also extends to his art
>>7170227He's developmentally stunted, of course he can't develop his art style. Egocentrism is a term that should be used for people who can actually function as adults
>>7169787Ok, what do you want us to say that hasn't been said before?
>>7170226I kinda respect Null for being a tard wrangler for him, but it wouldn't end well so getting the fuck off was a wise decision as Chris is doomed to forever be stuck on his zero self aware ass.
how often do you guys draw?
>>7164122I'd say 2 hours a day at least. Hard to draw less honestly, I'm having a lof of fun. I have a lot of free time and I work from home. Really easy to get multiple reps in of figure/gesture drawing.
>>7165283Jerking off is great for improvement of art skills though. It improves motor functions and hand dick coordination which is vital for artists.
>>7164122not enough
>>7170667>Jerking off is great for improvement of art skills thoughthis. if your schedule doesn't look like this, you're NGMI
I wonder why I care about drawing so much despite not being able to draw for more than 20 minutes a day. I wish there was a way to get myself to draw more, but I don't think it's possible
I give up with art, there's no career to be made here, I'm learning carpentry, it's over. It's been fun 5 years learning with y'all niggas.
>>7170765..... so get a job
>>7170765What makes you think people care about your "obligations". It's your life choices that made you what you are today. Getting a high paying job will solve almost all of your life problems anon.
I failed at everything I've ever tried and will probably have to go to jail soon.I have no friend. My relatives barely speak to me.
