>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.- Andrew Loomis, Creative IllustrationRead the fucking Sticky:https://www.alexhays.com/loomis/Recommended Resources:https://hackmd.io/7k0XRnIQR6SValR77TDfZw?viewLets study every day and keep each other accountable!

Trying to improve my portraits.
I’m a pixel artist currently in the modding scene. I’ve been doing this for 2 years now, having fun and taking it slow, no worries. For awhile now, I keep wondering if it’s possible to make a bit of cash on this. There’s a lot of content creators out there big and small with a ko-fi or a Patreon. Thing is I’m not a big name, and I’ve never made any money off of my art. Is it worth a shot, or is it too much of a hassle? Anyone here with experience making a passive income online wanna give their two cents on this?I’ll post more of my art for those curious and if the thread is going well.
>>7712245Make tile packs / character packs / stuff packs (like signs, trees, statues)Put them on itch.ioLearn to make a simple game project to display themSee if you can join any game jamsThis will get your name out there Things that sell the best are tile packs, and characters/enemoes with full run cyclesIf you can do characters - maybe offer drawing peoples OCs (or them) in your styleGet higher payment if you animate them etcThis is my experience - I was a fairly sucessful pixel artist for a while (before getting a family and needing to pivot to a higher paid real job)
>>7713122I'll say this thoughThe work you posted is so bare bones, very babies first time pixel artYou have learnt the rules - but its basicDraw a scene or a sprite thats 24x32 in sizeSomething bigger and something thats not (that looks) lifted from an old final fantasy rpgPull from the games which get better views, Mother 3 comes to mindCheck out other recent indie games and pull from themType pixelart into pinterest pull from thatNo one will pay much for the individual sprites you have shown so far - maybe if grouped in a massive sprite pack - but otherwise nah

This is Michelangelo's grocery list. Michelangelo had none of the resources you have, so please tell me that you are capable of drawing something more beautiful than these little doodles he made centuries ago.
>>7707850i can try

kinda want to draw my grocery list now. could make for a more interesting association in future while i run the same old tired errands.

This board has a shitload of talent. If I have one piece of friendly advice, as someone who is not an artist but is a fanatic art consumer, it would be to play around with looser and more gestural drawing styles more. A lot of the art I see on here is a little stiff. Even when the anatomy and perspective and rendering are good, I'm often left wanting more motion and dynamism--more storytelling in the lines, more exuberance and freedom. Anyway, that's just my two cents. Keep up the good work.
>>77112456. **Design the folds.** Block the big zig-zags, then echo them with smaller folds. Let folds *follow the gesture*, not random cloth noise.7. **Patterned nature.** Paint plants as repeating motifs with slight variation—botanical but graphic. Keep their values just lighter/darker than the dresses for separation.8. **Unifying veil.** One last very thin color layer (Soft Light at 5–10%) to key the whole piece warm or cool.Brush tips: smooth, low-texture brushes; low flow; minimal smudge. Avoid heavy photo-texture and hard airbrush lights.## If you’re painting traditionally (oil/tempera workflow)1. **Gessoed panel + precise drawing.**2. **Ink or thin umber line.**3. **Dead-coloring:** opaque but thin flats near mid-value.4. **Scumble & glaze:** build form with semi-opaque scumbles (lead/titanium white + a touch of local color), then transparent glazes (e.g., viridian, alizarin, ultramarine) to shift hue without breaking the enamel surface.5. **Matte finish:** keep mediums lean; aim for satin, not high gloss.Comment too long.

As a cartoonist, how do I get better at controlling my lines? I feel like my line quality has plateaued and I'm not sure how to break through. Pic is art by Al Hirschfeld.
>>7710837>>7710857I saw a video of Hirschfeld drawing, he must have been over 90 years old, and I was surprised to see that he built up his long, flowing lines with lots of strokes. I had always assumed each line was done with one bold stroke of a pen or brush (maybe that's how it was when he was younger; I don't know). It's important to remember those drawings are made quite large, so when they're printed at a smaller size any little imperfections disappear.
>>7710897>he built up his long, flowing lines with lots of strokesGenuine mindfuck for me. I had no idea.
>>7710837Keep drawing long lines on paper until the page turns black. That’s it.
>>7710837The quality of the line isn't that important. It's the drawing
>>7710837Play skribbl. You have a time limit plus live audience. You're forced to draw quick and clean. I usually get accused of being a disney animator or something whenever I play - but its literally just from grinding skribbl. You're also forced to draw all kinds of thing you would never normally. Also get a fine line pen and doodle every single word when its not your turn. Focus on clean lines, never erase
how the fuck am I meant to do make anything working like this? Im half convinced I should just go full neet, cause my corpo job is literally useless. I just wanna make comics, and I spend every second at home on comics (getting 4-5 pages done a week), but dam I could be doing so much more, and studying way more if I didn't have to do my nothing job. You NEETs don't know how good you got it, except you dont have the ethic to use it well

What were some eureka moments in your art journey? One for me was realizing that making eyes really small and dark automatically makes them more realistic.
>>7706797Incredible hustle anon, just be careful with that other hand so you don't get carpal tunnel again. Godspeed!
>>7706778Drapery folds.

>>7710521Huh, now that you mention it...
>>7706089That shrimp chart. I was told tracing is bad. So my young and dumb mind assumed copying artwork was just as bad, and I basically did the just draw meme for years, I did learn some things. But with this: https://prrb.tumblr.com/post/30177790499/shrimp-methodWhat once took me years to figure out how to draw. Now takes months.
