Is it okay for me to draw 8 hours a day? I'm pre beg and very impatient. I want to get to int by july 2026.
draw as much as you can in your beg phase because that's when its easier. you can easily draw 8 hours a day and have new and fun things to learn and draw. When you become low /int/ you start getting worse which will kill your motivation to draw. Drawing 8 hours is absolutely impossible for me, that would mean drawing 8 different drawings at least. You'll burnout way sooner than that because your energy is expended when you finish a drawing. You can do studies for 8 hours and feel great, you can polish a turd for 8 hours and feel great, but if you finishing drawings and start new ones, you're not lasting 8 housr.
>>7821319If you could do it, then do it, otherwise, for your first 1 year, your goal should not be to improve, but it should be to learn how to "love drawing" and to create a habit, you will improve anyway. after that, more conscious effort + hard work is required.
>>7821319you can get to int in ~2 months, most normie boomers do it with charcoal
>>7823675Ok retard keep us posted
>>7821319I went from non draw in paper to int in 1 year. 2-3ha day would be enough. The key is proper study a non get stuck doing the same over and over again, 30/theory, 70/practice.>>7821520>>7821522Good studies but if you dont apply this studies to your real drawing/goals.2h full concious study, 1h draw for fun, your proyects, oc's, etc.
I think /ic/ should try expressing themselves through art more. So let's see those creations that are important and meaningful to you. I started trying to teach myself to paint in September. This is the second piece I did in color, I'm so happy with the outcome because it portrays a relationship that I just can't stop thinking about.
My first attempt at color. Also means something to me. I like to call it "my stupid puppy life"
Something something about finding a girlfriend
>>7825089how do you draw expressing yourself? I can only draw ideas with references, and it's technically a self expression thing, but that's not what you meant
>>7825087My obliviousness or just me being an airhead all the time

>>7819047HEY!!! Thanks! I've been back in /Beg/ in the last two threads, last post >>7819520 Just real life trying to lure me into a normie happy life, but I managed to escape lol>>7819256>>7819259I do admit that I rush my stuff a lot, I scribble non stop instead of taking at least a second to look at it before posting, but it's just shitposting for fun at the end. You're right on your critiques.

This weekend is a great day for you to leave the house and go drawing. What's stopping you from grabbing your sketchbook and connecting with nature for a while? Go to a park, zoo, beach, café, museum, anywhere, just leave the house and draw. Don't worry about making perfect drawings, just capture the moments, the gestures, feel good about your own company while drawing.
>>7825367I guess people have different opinions but my city has city rights since centuries and is still considered city although its one of the smaller cities
It snowed this morning so I tried sketching at a park but it was cold so I gave up after 30 minutes.How would you guys draw snow landscapes? I like it when pieces use empty space for snow, but I think that's really tough to do without wasting time erasing.
>>7825380it's like saying a city only has one gas station or one post office, it's categorically not a city regardless of what it says
>>7825405We have 7 gas stations
>>7825416...so it's not a city
Which of these two drawings do you guys prefer?
>>7825351it is your drawing. what do you mean what i want
>>7825354> Do you want me to sugarcoat it so you can feel all fuzzy and warm inside?I mean, tell me what you want to tell me. >>7825349Normally, I don't use such harsh shadows, but I wanted to see how I could have corrected an old drawing, so I just changed the shape and stuff
>>7825359wow anon your drawing is so good i love the colors and that hair oh my gosh. and that light setup creating such hard edges against the darkness in the background is chef's kiss. keep going anon you are doing great keep working at it and you will get better and better. never give up!
>>7825249Left's face is much more appealing, while the right's hair is slightly more vivid
>>7825362
I didn't drawed yestarday and now I'm very sad
I could have drawn but I sat thinking for 4 hours what my future self would think of me...
>>7825358think what your future self would think of you less
>>7825352Future me will draw because I didn't draw today. If I had drawn now, future me would think "I already drew... im not doing it again" i have a 24 hour cooldown between drawing
>>7825363Grab that fucking pencil and DRAW NUDES
>>7825365I can only draw after mentally preparing myself for at least an hour.

>>7820503I'm at it again.https://postimg.cc/Lqx4Hghr/49e8426d The original.Is there a guide for drawing hair-ends out there? They seem so simple, but I can't seem to get it down correctly..
>>7821007Nah, youre on the right track. Dont beat yourself up over it what you cant do and enjoy what you can do. Enjoying what you can do will help you get the ball rolling. Relax.
So I was researching the whole side profile thing because my OC stuff makes a different take of it.I'm not quite sure what is the most used version of such face. It seems that even a little deviation when copying makes the whole thing look off and I don't want my OCs to end up looking like literal animals...
>>7825077yes, but any source i can give would be in japanese. if you can read it, searching 描き方 on sadpanda will give you a treasure trove of resourceshttps://exhentai.org/g/2020878/451625d3e6/?p=1
The banana psyop begins
>>7817613>>7819297I've thought about installations like these a few times and in the end I'm just finding myself unable to see them as art. I don't want to play art arbiter or anything like that so take the following as just my internal reasoning that I wanted to share with someone:I fully empathize with the creators' experiences, feelings and intentions behind these pieces, but I feel like they fail in both the art and the impact/realization departments.In art they fail for what I'd say is a lack of visual interest, technique and possibly creative expression: they are not interesting to look at, they do not display usage of techniques that are visually impressive in and of themselves (the counterexample here being a painting of a disturbing subject - often certainly not something I want to look at at all but I can understand classifying it as art), nor is the creator expressing their creativity as the medium itself.In impact/realization I would say they fail as they, in my mind, fail to convey the feelings and sensations of realization of the subject they are trying to portrait, because they are divorced from the context. If I see this bed in a museum, the feeling I get is mainly of disgust, because that's what it is, while placed in that museum, a disgusting object, without the human part that would make me remorseful or sad or contemplative of depression. If I were to see the same bed in the context of a visit to this person's home, then I'd be moved, because I would get all the context of the place and the human story which gives it all weight.Really much of it comes down to the fact that disgust is just such a strong emotion, and it is hard to feel anything but for an objectively disgusting object without being part of the situation or place that created it. It's the same way how graffiti in the city are beautiful because they tell stories about the places and people that moved in them. Can't just take that out and put it elsewhere. It becomes artifici
>>7824794So then if the feeling the artist was trying to get across was disgust, I think it could be called art. But usually that is not the intent.Another installation that came to mind was this "heart made out of cigarette butts" I saw a while ago on YouTube which, I admit, is a cool concept. But in the end, try as I might to "reinterpret" the piece according to the story I know about it, if the piece itself mainly transmits a feeling of disgust, I can't really say it's good art about the reality of decay and death and sorrow that cigarettes cause. But if the intention had been to make people disgusted of cigarettes, then that'd be good art.
>>7824800>So then if the feeling the artist was trying to get across was disgust, I think it could be called art. NTA, But if I drop a turd on a plate, put that on a pedestal in a gallery, and get the reaction I wanted (disgust), that makes it art?If so, then I feel our definition for what is and isn't "Art" to be very sorely lacking.You may argue that the bed is different, but how so? They're both lazy, they both lack any skill in the artistic crafts, so what makes my turd on a plate 'less than' the dirty bed?If the Dirty Bed is a justified piece of art, what argument do we have against the turd on the plate, or the banana duct taped to a wall?

>>7825291>AI models can produce things better than you>real artists can produce things better than youokay: why do you care? why are you even interested in art in the first place?
>>7825298to have a place in this world
>>7825307don't mean to be rude, but 1. that's rather vague, and 2. there are multiple ways to "have a place in this world". so what is it about art specifically that draws you?
>>7825310I can create worlds and characters that don't treat me like shit
>>78253171. you don't need to be good to do that, 2. that has nothing to do with the skill of other people or AI models.
1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)Previous Thread: >>7737531

>>7820262Now you are just making things up. Everyone always have something they are unhappy about. Please don't use that as an excuse to not do anything. Many learn to draw despite wageslaving or neetbuxing.
What happened to all the concept art community that used to make content for youtube? I haven't seen anything for the past few years

>>7822981not an argument to my claim
>>7815299You 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.
