>>7165925
Tablet is more comfy + your hand isnt in the way, but you have to accept thats all youll be able to draw on confidently. With displays i can transition between traditional without feeling like i have to rewire my brain again. It's more natural. Overall i vote displays
>>
>>7165925
Traditional. Nothing beats licking and smelling the ink.

Digital? who cares, they are the same thing.

Well after skipping a day I was able to come back with this.

Decided I'll try to work on doing torsos for a bit. I was feeling less confident yesterday and earlier today, but after this I feel more confident all of a sudden...even though it doesn't look great and is full of issues.

it's a visual novel. Im making it for a class, since the final project was a multi media kinda thing meaning you could do whatever as long as it presented an argument of some sort. my argument is "everything will be alright" and im basically just using the girl character to be the optimistic opposite of the player character who's more nihilistic. pretty much they just go on a walk to a store to find food to feed a stray cat and she talks to you and tries making you realized things aren't all so bad. script still in progress, but im glad you were interested.

What are some things/aspects of art that no one (including this board) is really honest about?
109 replies and 19 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>7158296
If you didn't start drawing a lot as a kid, you should honestly pick a different hobby/path. Most late starters will never get good (with some exceptions) because they will get demoralized far easier. Kids won't care that their work sucks, at least not too much. Adults are far more critical.
People hate hearing this because it's bleak but it's also true. There is absolutely a point where it's too late. At least, too late to become great and forget about becoming a fucking pro.

>The fastest way to get "organically" popular is to pay big artists to promote you
Paying for promo might get your name out there fast, but it isn't organic, it's like buying followers with a bot.
Put in the work, grind out quality content, flood the feed with quality works, network with others in your niche on platforms like hydro, its a great way to expand your reach and get paid
It may be a slow burn, but way more sustainable. Don't fall for thepaidhype.

>>7166813
If you're a complete beginner (or haven't even started), then his paintings look nice. But even then, I have never encountered anyone who said that his paintings were of particular skill. As many anons have said, Bob Ross was liked because he made painting a relaxing thing where you don't have to stress over the end result, and he showed how anyone could do that. He never held himself out as some kind of artistic savant. He just wanted people to paint and chill out.

how people do this so fast... I can't draw a character with just a blurry little gameplay video as the only reference. I need ultra clear large pictures in all angles and then I have to look for the perfect dynamic original pose and perfect composition

Maybe your art isn't appealing looking in the first place
>>
>>7167993
They think because its a gross fetish that the art is automatically bad. They don't think about fundamentals or composition or things like that, they just want to send a message and believe that since their message is good, their art should be popular. Thats why they post some fucked up porn that is well drawn.

Fantasy artwork was best when being made by coomers like Royo or Caldwell.

Now what fantasy art are you making anon?

Imaishi and Yoshinari literally have significantly better technical skill and more professional feel to their art than 99% of actual manga artists.

You don't get the skill of animating until you actually animate.

What I mean is, you don't understand how rigorously animators have to keep the volumes consistent from frame to frame. Illustrators, mangakas, all other artists are incredibly loose, by comparison. Nobody knows the strictness that animators have to adhere to, without actually trying it out themselves.

>>7168778
A really good read, so far. Thanks for the rec.

can a beginner realistically animate traditionally with a peg bar. i refuse to switch to digital but id like to get up to doing walk / run scenes.

Kim said he was doing memory drawings since Kindergarten.

He would try to draw playground slides from imagination, realize he couldn't do it, then at school he'd study how to do it. Then he'd go home and continue drawing full-fledged perspective scenes.

Probably 0 people on /ic/ had that level of devotion back in kindergarten, much less keeping it up for their whole lives

You probably came to the worst place to ask for advice because as you can see

People are relatively really annoying and sheltered to the point where asking for help or advice leads to just crucifying someone for not doing “enough” or having enough “talent”

I mean this not to be a dick but maybe you should ask reddit.

Plus most people on this board can’t draw for shit let alone anything that isn’t anime pussy or furry shit.

KJG said he would see something on his way to work, draw it when he got to work, the next day he'd see that thing again and notice what he got wrong and draw it again to correct it, repeat
So do lots of master studies and memory drawings. Oh and I think he said he would sit on the second floor of coffee shops and draw people looking down at them to help with perspective.

im good but i also am not good compared to what i want to be so i draw more because i want to be really good
the method is just wanting to get better so much that not being good becomes a motivating factor (wacked mindset idk if it will work for everyone but it has worked well for me)
>>
>>7169237
I lowkey have a similar mindset so its good knowing I'm not the only one in that.
Its just that sometimes it feels like my objectives are unreachable because Im aiming at professional works that are done by a lot of very skilled artists and Im just 1 guy that tries.

At this point its just sunk cost fallacy. That is about the only thing keeping me going.
Either I get good enough to feel a modicum of anything but (well-deserved) disgust when i look at the drivel that I secrete from my fat little fingers, or I brighten the greater artistic community by spilling my putrid, fly-blown excuse of a mind across my living room with a shotgun.
Really looking like the latter at this point, to be honest with you senpai-a-lam.

>>7169214
Haven’t felt that way in years, but i would say those feelings have a lot of truth in them.
You probably aren’t good, use those feeling to double up your efforts and work harder towards ur goals
