Loomis is a diagnostic tool for your imaginative work.
You learn how it works as a system so you can apply it to your drawings when a problem arises, similarly to Scott Robertson.
There's a reason why you don't start with it if you're an absolute never-drawn-ever-before beginner, see: >>7182033

practice making curvy lines, use the stabiliser if your software has it, and remember you can ways use the eraser too, like a brush, to smooth out the lines.

It just takes a lot of practice. Way more than you realize. Get used to what you're feeling now, because it takes a lot of feeling that and pushing through anyway to get anywhere.

when doing studies, still life or life drawing etc, dont draw what you think something should look like, draw what you see.

look at it's positive and negative shapes, directions of angles, let the pen follow what your eye sees.

Bitches face looks like an ahegao. Does anime brainrot really effect people's ability to distinguish facial expressions or is it just autism?
Only thing this drawing is missing is a massive shadow of an erect phallus overlayed over the girl's face. Redditors are retards.

These companies don’t care unless you’re making them money (a certain threshold) or generating views. If you’re ever denied something, put on a list, or get a bot response or have to scream for a supervisor you are worth nothing to them.

That's what you get for using "free" services. Everything you post and do on the Internet is public, that's how people should approach it.

You post your art online? Consider it public. You masturbate to weird shit? Consider it public.

About Twitter, I do have a question.
How bad was the leak? I got scammed into giving out my phone number when signing in, so it might be circulating along with the email.
I didn't use it at all, not a post or anything and it's been like five years. Is it safer to just keep the corpo thinking it's some bot account or should I recover password, log in and delete/deactivate it?

Could a non-webtoon B&W manga style comic with traditional panelling and decent to good writing and professional quality art ever get massively successful in the current internet landscape if published for free?

After Homestuck ended nothing took it's spot in the now dead action/adventure/serialized webcomic genre, and things like Ramia-Yana or Dog Nigga are still a meme and too niche to suddenly bring it back to life for the masses.
>>
no one knows. no one can predict the future. no one can predict what will be popular and successful or everything released by major media companies would be hits and never any flops. try it and find out what happens is the only way.
>>
>>7186251
This.
The question isn't "could this be successful", because of course the answer is yes.
The question should be "how will I do this", or possibly "do I even want to do this".
A possible reason something of that description hasn't come about might simply be because it makes way way more sense to just go to a publisher instead of trying to self-publish something like that. To make it clear: self-publishing is not going to be making you money for a long, looong time, and anybody who's both a professional writer and artist probably isn't going to want to go without significant income for that period, or possibly even be able to.

Oh for sure. Information paralysis and whatnot.
Also strangely enough, I can't say I enjoy the process as much as I should but I look forward to drawing every single day. It's the best feeling when you go to sleep with a WIP and wake up the next day fired up to work on it more.
>>
>>7185415
It takes years to gain any sort of external validation for your art. None of the good artists I know care about numbers, it's always subpar artists that are crying about not getting recognition. They're the first to throw the towel at any minor inconvenience, be that the surge if AI art or simply not meeting last month's statistics. It's a shallow husk of a motivation that'll crumble under the slightest breeze

Not those anons but tell you what.
Post an image of any fundamental (key word being fundamental, not some random full body drawing )exercises you do and I'll give an honest answer on what you should be doing to get better.

>>7186479
>>7186480
Comparing both, your target has subtler lineweight, without sharp tips and softer color choices. That's a matter of settings and color picking.
More important, hair shapes. Your bangs are similar in size, C curves and have many tiny tips for detail. Ratloli has flowing S curves and just one or two smaller tips, using less shapes.
For poses and dynamism, you'll have to break away from drawing things straight on. The good news is you can look at art you like and notice how things tilt and twist.

Good reaction. It makes honestly no sense to ever argue with advice. No one is forcing you to take it. In the best case, even or especially if you don't agree, you can try looking at the advice from a different perspective and seek nuances that you have previously ignored. If you're very flexible and open-minded even trying to apply the advice for a couple of hours can be a very revealing experience.

True disciples of life will learn from right and wrong. Disciples of death will just refuse and dismiss.

>>7186129
Learning is easy. Just copy bodies and hands and feet and faces for hundreds of times in different poses and then dozens from memory.
If you don’t know why something looks like it does then study the anatomy for that region.
People with high tolerance for grinding will learn extremely fast. Colors are easy af if you have talent. Anatomy is tough and very hard if you don’t have a high iq.
>>
>>7186129
kinda unrelated, but I always struggled with having a specific activity being time blocked and when I get a delay of, say, 5 minutes I'd just completely give up on it and feel it's worthless now; the realization was that I was putting more emphasis on the timing than on the completion of the activity itself, that little tweak changed everything for me
>>
>>7186169
>Anatomy is tough and very hard if you don’t have a high iq
Look into spaced repetition and anki. Anatomy is actually by far the easiest to learn because every question has a straight answer.

It's just a shitload of questions and answers but anki makes this extremely manageable.
>>
>>7186170
I know what you mean. You were probably also extremely susceptible to your day being ruined by events outside of your control that shifted your entire time table.

I still struggle with this despite knowing every single minute put into practice is worthwhile and one minute often leads to another.
