I've been making art just for myself to look at for about the last 8 years. I have zero following online and I have no idea how to market myself for commissions.
Either way I still keep pumping out new personal projects that go nowhere but to my friends.

I would really appreciate critique on my style(s). General questions are welcomed as well.

You have a point but please be nice about gi... He never said that he doesn't use refs and he constantly said he is able to draw from imagination because he started drawing at age of pre 5 and he had a little bit of talent which made him able to draw 3d when he was 9 or something. And he also observed everything for his art constantly. Its just that people don't search enough about gi and think thats normal. What made gi able to do that is massive amounts of practice and talent combined.

Why You Should Copy Anime:

Naoki Saito: https://youtu.be/8jsZGeaWkhE?si=6HZIvG9Bx3y9qoHs&t=12
AnimeShijuku: https://twitter.com/animesijyuku/status/1717415459778347358
Krenz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbKqIJcIUCw

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

i've been learning to pace myself, which has been improving my overall work output. i've been drawing exactly one room on my supeisushippu once per day. i don't get burnout as much and progress moves a lot faster than staying up all night and crashing out for 48 hours trying to catch up on sleep.

>>7827275
Take breaks. When I feel my energy slowing down, I will hop on the internet, have a drink, or even lay down and listen to some ambient music. Just a quick recharge, then jump back to your art.

Its good for your eyes to take breaks too....you can get eye strain and blurryness if you are staring at your art constantly. When you take a break, look at objects that are farther away for a good 30 seconds, it helps with you focus for your art.

In the year of tumblr eve, 2013
I went to the Oracle at /ic/ and asked "Who is the greatest artist on /ic/?"
>(you) are, Anonymous
"Surely not! This cannot be so! I must browse /ic/, surely there is someone who is far superior than I! I shall post my work!"

At first, I proclaimed my superiority over all, and nervously watched my art get trashed. I was fine with it, because my blood, heart and soul was poured into my artwork. It was my "Artistic Ego" that needed to take the hits. Hits it did take. I was the worst artist because I stopped drawing. One post by one post, one bad drawing at a time, I had actually surpassed the ones I once idolized in at least one way or another. I wanted to be a digital concept artist so badly I hadn't realized I hated digital art.

I did the monthly memes and whored myself for cash, until one day, I looked around /ic/ and saw all those I had once idolized were long gone but not replaced to me. The crabs sadness compounded. They had forgotten to learn to take the lesson of /ic/ with themselves while off the internet as well, for now the internet was everywhere. It had invaded their minds. I watched them believe the same thing I once did, throwing themselves for the approval, of someone, anyone.

I looked at my old art, at what I had poured my entire internet self into vying for the place where I had abandoned all hope of making it. Ye who enter /ic/ leave hating /ic/, until you realize everywhere else is just a worse version of /ic/.
Today, I realized the truth: I wasn't the "great rendering machine of digital still lives" I wanted to be, but I had gotten to a place where I even began to think the Oracle was right, I just had to burn through myself until I could finally reach the place where I can say

I made it.

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.

Used Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom

Just a reminder to save your works boys :D

Infinite painter was upgraded automatically last night and doesnt open anymore
I installed older version, it works but all my projects are gone :D

Fortunately am beginner and loss wasnt absolutely massive
>>
>>7818254
Coming from an ancient Cintiq, the Xppen's good enough. It's a matter of how much the video's points bother you. The Chinese brands started getting too expensive for the risk some years back which lowers the appeal. Getting one second hand when you need a display tablet quick beats a new Intuos or saving up for a Cintiq. I'll see how I feel once it breaks (4 years now).

its the apelles palette, a classical palette used for thousands of years, goes back to the cave man. zorn is the most used name.
there is no right or wrong version. what i have listed is the best for a small budget.
the temperature of the other 3 paints, doesent really matter that much, because titanium white produces very cold mixtures anyway.
not perfect, but there is no cheap warm white out there. there is no cheap warm red eighter
so next time try not to talk about stuff you have no idea about, retard

I agree with you on this point but you have to consider how uncerebral the average male is when it comes to porn. What you posted will get the job done for like 90% of men.
>>
>>7827909
90% of those 90% would rather watch normal porn and see current ai animation as weird dweeb shit in the vein of boomer photo caption porn
ai porn is deep in gooner territory, gooners just don't realize how weird it is to normalfags
the point is that it does nothing for anyone not irreversibly cumbrained over the usual offerings, normalfags have normal porn, nerds have skillfully made dweebshit, nobody normal wants to either fap to uncanny valley 5 second clips nor spend time prompting the perfect 5 second uncanny valley clip to cum to

The whole global animation industry is at a moment of crisis right now. It's only logical that the traditional strongholds of the business: America, France, Japan/Korea prevail in the battle for every new project opportunity on the table, and under the table.. They are fighting for their lives, and that's no joke.
You should move to France, if you're not already there. Don't waste your energy and your life yearning and hoping for something that is out of your hands.
