How do begs motivate other begs to just draw without becoming crabs?
>>7839302By adopting a positive 'rising tide lifts all ships' mindset. By simply believing in and having faith in others.It's a smarter play because if everyone supports each other and improves, everyone benefits more from that collective growing expertise over time.
>>7839583I love you.
>>7839302Crabs are chads if I'm gonna fail, we are all gonna fail
>>7839308as if /pros/ didn´t have a Napoleon complex or god complex as well, I'd argue that they should be the ones getting therapy since they are in no position to whine, specially if they live off it or are famous/ got enough followers
>>7839583doesn't really work here because there are too many bad faith actors
This guys draws everyday even on christmas why arent you drawing
>>7838285You have to overstim yourself so much that drawing becomes addicting, the overstimulation will tire your monkey brain out so that you'll want to draw in silence for a small break and hopefully by then you're in the zone. You do have to train yourself to work twice as hard tired which is easy because you're not going as fast so you're making less mistakes and tackling it strategically to preserve energy rather than tactically.
>>7837052I draw or paint every day though
>>7837052I have people in my life I must allocate time and care to, if only I had no one then I could focus solely on my work and passion.
>>7837052way to make a thread that would be stale one day after posting on a board where it takes weeks for threads to die.
>>7837052If I had half of his skills I would draw 24/7 non stop, sucking at something you take a long time to produce is specially discouraging, don´t you think?
I cannot improve I can’t draw from references good either

what kind of brush is this?
>>7841509Seconded. I need to know this so I can draw in this style
maybe one of these (they are all in vargasni brushes)
I believe he is just using a round brush with the kyle webster textured brushes, the default ones in paid photoshop basically.
>A "hobby" where you suck dick for 1 000 hours at the start and never feel an ounce of dopamine
This is true for all creative hobbies, it's just more intuitive to tell how shit you are with 2d visual art than almost anything else. A newfags 3d models are going to be disgusting filth, but half the reasons they are will be completely over his head. A newfag's creative writing will be putrid, but he might be totally unable to notice. The key to getting good is to swallow your pride, and recapture the childish state of mind where you don't give a fuck how bad you are and just have fun regardless. Most good artists get there by getting past that initial hump as children when that comes naturally, but if you're getting into it past 20, you're going to need to make a concerted effort.
>>7841499They teach literal children art things as part of the fun side of school. The problem is you, the adult, who cannot stop your ego from getting between you and enjoying the simple act of creating on a page.
>>7841619The problem is learning how to learn something so abstract. Many artists have just been brute forcing muscle memory since they were children and don't actually know how to learn efficiently.Any person can understand how to grind rote memorization or problem solving, or less abstract muscle memory practice. This is way more difficult.
>>7835123D is not the same cube, the other 3 options are rotations of the cube on screen. I don't speak spic but the text says something to the tune of "what cube doesn't correspond to the figure below?"

For those of you who are high /int/ and above, what painting course helped you the most? My budget is $1500.I recently got a job a Circle K and can finally for once afford an expensive course.
>>7841165no, im asking high /ints/ how they got to high /int/you must be low iq
>>7841139Real talk? Use that money to hire a mentor in the art industry you wanna get in, just a few hours of guided instruction by a pro is worth far more than hundreds of useless video courses and books in this website, they are useless to a high /int/ because they already know their art fundamentals, atp they just need to do master studies to reach the next level.Or go to a lot of life drawing workshops, musems, or pay a prostitute to be naked so you can draw her for 10+ hours...>>7841167Like this anon said, that kind of money wont help much, so just do whatever.

>>7841203what manga is that from?
>>7841139Unironically Marco Bucci's course on Color and Light is pretty good as well as KNKL's videos on material rendering and metal. Bucci has a paid course that you can pirate and find for free on here and he does mentorships too. What's good about his videos is that if you understand color theory and how lighting works you can break down and understand any reference you find much more accurately and will transfer over into your work.Depends on your goals though. Learning fancy edges and texturing doesn't do you much good aside from maybe painting backgrounds or environments if you're going to just be drawing anime girls.
What is the most depraved piece of art you've created?
>>78400521 out of 3 women that own dogs have sex with them. Dont worry about it.
>>7840295wtf source?
>>7832377Honestly, I see nothing wrong with this. Good on him. You should go back to nsfw art. It'll rake in the big bucks, brother.

What is this sort of Chinese anime style called and how do you learn to draw it? It is very different from just "anime" drawing, things like genshin's official art highly stylized. It is often more noisy and less vibrant especially in backgrounds.
Is there really no reliable way of opening your mind's eye in order to be able to imagine something, and then draw it like you're looking at a reference in real life? I'm not talking about construction and sketching and erasing and adjusting etc until you find something you're satisfied with, but sharpening your imagination and being able to hold an image still in your mind for a long period of time
>>7823478>Is there really no reliable way of opening your mind's eye in order to be able to imagine somethinggo on a keto diet to improve brain function
>>7823478I think its like any other thing its partly genetic but you can train it like a muscleI definitely think the genetic aspect plays a fairly big role still, I introduced my normie art friends to the proko kangaroo and they told me to draw some non-obvious animal like a walrus which I've never studied and still mostly got it 90% rightthis is all pseudoscience so noone will provide you a tried and true list of exercises train something like thisOutside of inherent curiosity and inquisitivness about the world with some added critical thinking and quick pattern recognition I don't anything will help you much at all
>>7823490>just imagine a scene as hard as you canand make sure you make power-up noises like in dragonball z
>>7823478FUCK OFF CHRIS!
>>7823478They teach how to do this in any hindu or buddhist meditation practice. Either look for hatha yoga or read initiation into hermetics. It's just a skill

>>7841180Is there a single good coloso course?Everything I've seen is for nodraws who think one more Asian course is going to solve all their problems, when Asian courses are the absolute worst instruction method unless they have weeks/months of assignment mileage like Krenz.
>>7841701you really only watch them to see workflows and see how someone would approach a drawing. i wouldn't say they are for education.
>>7841709That's what I figured, I remember some of the early, eagerly awaited rips. They were in a no mans land of being targeted at /beg/s but way over their head and not useful as a masterclass if you are beyond that level. So they suit nobody.You'd think after seeing enough courses that the nodraws would realize there's no secret.
>>7841701Teaching is actually really hard. Designing and testing a course with real students takes years. They just grab popular artist on social media and make them throw together a random course.

What's your biggest art secret?
>>7840726I like to mess with the red tone curve to make the colors more interesting. It doesn’t have to be a huge change, but it definitely looks better
Drinking water. Not kidding.
>>7840726I draw the textures of the clothing manually rather than imply it using colors, not really a secret since its pretty obvious, but I find it far easier and less annoying, and also looks less jank.
>>7840774Lmao >>7840776 isn’t me but here’s something I did a few days ago

I drew my OC today
I really had problems with her hairs. And it’s flat But I don’t know what I did wrong so plz enlighten me with help. I also want to start to use color pencils but yeah how to color well (not like in school)I felt in love with this wedding scene in The wind rises, and Nahoko’s wedding dress. I notice that Ghibli style is minimalist but plays with colors and shade.
>>7841571draw from observation
I wonder if the reason we lack artists that are as good as the old masters is because we fried our brains out with useless information. Most people who are good nowadays grew up drawing and not scrolling social media. I don't think you can become a great artist if you keep filling your brain with information you won't use for art, it is wasted resources and you can only fill your brain with so much information before it starts discarding recent memories. Maybe even reading words is bad for an artist and you should only look at things you want to draw to maximize and streamline your brain capacities. I think we should stop using the internet to become better artists
>>7841185>I think we should stop using the internet to become better artistsI agree completely. You should start to set an example
It’s not possible to function in society without internet access unless you’re the Amish.
Yeah, it's too late for you. Just reading this sentence removed a whole 10 hours worth of fundie grinding from your memory. Might as well give up now.
In general, internet addiction stifles creativity. Creativity occurs while your mind is at rest, and if everytime your mind is at rest you whip out your phone to read some retarded shit, you will not have any creative thoughts.
>>7841329Joke’s on you I never grinded fundies.
