What do you think about this guy? He's your typical "artist wanna be" turbo autist who got a golden ticket to do whatever an artsy autist feels it needs to be done to "make it". He's renting a huge studio in NYC, he made an art trip to Europe with a bunch of people, he just did a failed art exposition in Down town NY with his crappy shit, and he's using "his" own money. He seems to be using the UNI money for this and he's going at it all gas no brakes. He's gonna crash eventually and it's gonna be epic.
His art sucks, but I think that such epic and "based retarded" effort deserves the attention of everyone here, to see what happens when you got yourself high in your own delusions. This guy is setting himself on fire for art, and he doesn't give a fuck, till he start feeling the flames, that is.

He started as a Juvenile delinquent, he robbed some stores and vehicles. He later got into arts and did some cool pics on deviant art and reached some clout traction. Then he fucked it up doing some Garfield Gender bender Loli porn, and couldn't get totally back on track after that. You can tell the guy is cornered into a posing fake persona, when he really would like to be an art troll through-and-through. But he has a family to take care of, he's a bounded broken soul now.

i feel retarded but I can't find good interior reference, and my room isn't really something I want to draw. Pinterest has really crappy home shots (never use a wide angle lens to get a lot in the frame), should I just buy a stack of old home and garden off ebay? Where is good room reference?

If that's the kind of reference you want you might as well go to their website, https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/topic/decoration

You can also get references like that on House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, or interiordesign.net. Zillow and AirBnB are endless sources of interior references but the photos are amateur, the perspective is usually just a center horizon line with some lens distortion. SetScouter lists different types of locations, so you have more control over what you see, but photo quality varies. If the resolution doesn't matter and you just want to see real lived-in interiors then go to MapCrunch, click Options at the top-left and check the box that says "Indoor". Each time you click Go you'll get a new interior with a 360 view. Finally if you still want to look at magazines here's a collection on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/HomeGardenMagazines/5280%20Home%20-%20Spring%202016/mode/2up

if art school is affordable for you to go to, then do so by any means given the school actually is decent and not one of those rich kid scams. but at the end of the day, the school itself isn't responsible for your success in the field, only you yourself are. the school only cares about your money, and in return provides the resources and structure for you to perform. the sad part is that those resources and structure is no longer worth the cost of attending in many schools worth going to. even the cream of the crop schools here in california are losing their luster. if you want to graduate in the arts, then yea do your homework and get good marks. if you want to succeed in the arts, you need to go beyond the boundaries of the school.

Why You Should Copy Anime:

**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.

You will become obsessed with your numbers. You will start chasing trends. You will lose sight of what made you love art in the first place.

Social Media will kill your artist's soul.

>if it took more skill to make, it's better art!
I hate this mentality that equates art to a parlor trick. Art is the practice of image-making. It's the manipulation of symbols to achieve a change in consciousness. It's actually you being the market-slave whore if you whittle that down to whether an artist is a "valuable, skilled craftsman."

Corel are doing a Humble Bundle with the Painter tier costing $22.85 USD.
