How do begs motivate other begs to just draw without becoming crabs?

By 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.

You 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.

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.
>>
>>7841499
They 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.
>>
>>7841619
The 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.

Real 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...

Unironically 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 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

I think its like any other thing its partly genetic but you can train it like a muscle
I 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% right

this is all pseudoscience so noone will provide you a tried and true list of exercises train something like this
Outside 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

Is 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.

you really only watch them to see workflows and see how someone would approach a drawing. i wouldn't say they are for education.

>>7841709
That'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.

Teaching 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.

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

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.
