You can be delusional and pretentious while being objective about things, your brain can hold two opposing ideas and not explode. It really relies on nuance, if you don't think that people delude themselves to get anything done (especially running a business) then you do not have life experience. There's a reason why "fake it till you make it" or "dress for the job you want" is a cliche term. Placebo is a powerful tool and engineering your environment and personality towards your goals builds up enough momentum so when you're tired (which is usually when things like negative thoughts and bad habits attack you) your mind believes the deluded hype and often refrain from ruining that momentum. The mind can be a lazy bitch sometimes, It'll try to delude you into thinking you're too tired or not ready to pursue things and I guess the form of conscious delusion is kind of like faith that you can do something, now if that delusion is being used to feel content with the work with a minuscule amount of work and not using actual metrics to see where you're at you're wielding that tool wrong.

I finally finished a comic for a client that took months. Although it was only nine pages, it was a stressful experience. They constantly asked for changes and help with the script. Each page had to have eight to nine panels to include all their ideas. All this while I was drawing illustrations for another client. In the end, they asked me for one last illustration: a "signature page," whatever that means. I thought it would be quick and easy money, but I've already done three sketches, and I keep getting the same corrections. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Great body language. Despite the simplicity, the position and shape of the eyes capture the correct gaze, therefor imbuing the subject with a mind and soul. The overlap of the neck over the head contour and the placement of the mouth are subtle but important nods to perspective and foreshortening, respecting the orientation of the subject. The paper and the pencil reinforce the story, although I would change the location of the pencil to better utilize the negative space in the lower right corner.

>I felt these latest drawings were bangers too fuck
Yeaj these are the worst ones to get ignored. But something I have learned is that being ignored doesn't mean anything about your art. People just do that sometimes.

I just dont see the enjoyment in drawing like this. its beautiful but if I am able to do it, then its not impressive to me. I only want to draw things beyond my level, which means I am studying, and if I'm studying then I'm not outside.

That doesnt look like a drawing done outside. Most likely studio work after a sketch.

1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.

2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.

3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.

4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.

5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)

Seriously though, i see big almost mountainous clouds on a lot of background panels often and really like it.

Redraw real pictures of clouds you like. Redraw drawings of clouds you like. Once you get the hang of copying, try to inject some of your own style into it. Study and interpret - it's the only way.

I had to teach myself a little bit of how to draw a cloud using your image as a reference so I could teach you a bit here.
You see Anon, really all it is is just squiggly cunts reallly.
Just draw some squiggles for your base, and then come back with a darker color, same idea really, ideally getting more lumps and shit like in your image, you'll have to excuse me I've never done this before and I'm just brute forcing it.
And then, come back, add in some more squiggles, where ever you feel like.
Maybe you want some trails coming off your cloud, or you want more fluff, just squiggle a bit more erratic I suppose.
Alternatively, you could just open your image in a program with layering, and just trace the edges to get a feel for it.
That works wonders for learning.
Tracing for study purposes.

Mouse and MSPaint by the way.
Never let your dreams be memes kids, as long as you have those you have the means of making an Anime Breakcore Album cover.
