because they don't think too much. thats not even a bad sentiment, overthinking will be troublesome at one point. i wish i could just go straight into the zone and draw on and on. it's harder these days.

>>7804242shouldn't 5.5 and 4.5 be higher on the scale as they're adding in details that are omitted as you go down the scale?

He was the lead artist at Riot Games for like six years. He left to draw a comic...
Farewell kienan it was knowing you
>>7799315Knkl literally was a art director at Riot games before he imploded and became a drug addict pedophile about 2 years ago. Technically, This is the last person this would apply too.
why do people considered people who hasnt been in the industry for 5 years washed up and beg tier when they were literally was a senior art director few year ago
>>7799315idk who this applies to when a lot of coloso courses I've seen are industry professionals
I started drawing earlier this year at 31. Is there really no hope to enter the art industry in any way?
>>7798416>neuroplasticity is already shotStart using psychedelics.
>>7798364It's only over the moment you start a family and produce child demons. You'll be set back until you can kick them out at 18. Actually no, you still have to wage beyond 65 because you still have to pay your mortgage so technically it's really over for you before it even started.
>>7798364Art is human expression and the wish to share his unique view of the world in some shape or form with others; there is no time limit on something so fundamental
>>7800846>draws little girl characters in his late 30sokay that's pathetic
>>7798364You are twenty years too late, but you can still make progress good enough for your needs. Art as a profession is over for you. Maybe you'd get skills to do it semi-professionally. That's a big maybe btw.
I tried to draw smut but my pc keeps turning off so I gave up
>>7803883I finished.
No. Maybe next month.
>wake up>brain already on 20% batteryGuess im not drawing today

What are your artistic goals in life?
>>7803849>my goals are to enjoy drawingI'd have to ask, why even bother doing this, if you don't enjoy it? That goes for hobbyists and professionals alike.
>>7800648don't fall for the socialism vs capitalism meme, the commies/fascists/authoritarians/retards want you to view capitalism as anything but an economic structure system
>>7799106I want to depict my autistic worldbuilding project and maybe one day make something out of it like a comic or something, and perhaps earn income trough my stuff. Though, honestly, those later goals seem beyond my grasp and I am for most part drawing stuff and depicting my fictional world because I got nothing else going on in my life and drawing is the last thing I have that I feel I have any control over.
>>7803858You're misreading this as saying they dont enjoy drawing. Goals dont have to be an END goal, that can just be their goal for the hobby every day
I want to be good enough that I can make all the things I want to makeI want to have enough supportive Japanese fans that I can live of the art I make in JapanI want to keep improving my art skills forever
decided to "revive" my Xitter account that I haven't touched since 2020, trying to post 2 times a week, all of my 30 or so followers are idle so I get no engagement which feels like starting from scratchare there any benefits to starting a fresh account or should I stop overthinking this and just keep grinding? I also have like 500 art accounts followed so my feed serves as big inspirationI don't know how much the algo has changed since the takeover so any feedback would be appreciated!
>>7804270>shows a itfucking hiroshit, the circled i icon shown top rightinterestingly enough setting it to region also obscures the app being used a bitbtw the "based in" is determined by the account's IP history from ~over a monthlogging in from another IP once will not certainly get logges but it shouldn't suddenly change it (immediately)

>>7804274>>7804270ok thanksso i should just suck it up then and register as usual? since there doesn't seem to be a way to skip this other than apparently find the more vague setting of the larger region which i guess is fine too
>>7803176you should interact with content that you like that's similar to the kind of content you produces, because it is not about gathering arbitrary followings but finding people who likes the same stuff you do. You can also do it the hard way if for whatever reasons to not retweet or like, but in that case you'll need to do a lot of your own promotion off-site because there not as much vector that causes people to look at your stuff. I tried to get people a leg up by retweeting some stuff but often times it has limited impact on their engagement because their content doesn't align with interest of my followers.
unless you're paying for the blue check you're going to be invisible

Are there any anons here who actually have goals of making art their career being full or even part time?Feels like everyone here has given up on that and now actively denounces even the idea of making money. Wasn't this place for aspiring concept artists?
>>7801213>you can be one of those people that draw the signsHuh - actually, what are those guys, who draw the signs for pubs and restaurants, called?I can't imagine that's a sign painter, and a lot are drawn quite well, so I doubt it's just a rando employee.Seems like that could be a fun side hustle, doing your the sandwich board/black board art for your local businesses.
>>7801215Shut up, grampa schizo
>>7801215Love him
>>7803263literally me, and I better make it or else...
Still here and passed the "sociol netwark yeah! we wil mak it as animefags on twider and asian platforms, everyone telling the truth about gafam is trying to discourage me, yeah ima stubborn faggot doing stupid threads! Only porn can make it, yeah!" Still not sure if humanity is lost or if the vast majority of the internet content, like ic, is written by the fbi in order to divide the people.

Aside from obvious anime stylizations, what are some factors that really distinct "western" art from "eastern" art. An example of what i'm thinking of is:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rSw4Xl5qfsFrom a first glace it looks like its drawn by westeners but the way its animated gives you the feeling its actually drawn by people who mainly work on anime.
>>7800005I think western art is a lot more willing to make things ugly for the sake of a better character design.Take the variations in how Dr.Robotnik was drawn; in the west he looks quite ugly, but is clearly a horrid villain - he's menacing; while in the east, he actually comes across as cute, and really lacks any villainous tooth, design wise at least - still a good character design, though.The western sonic cartoon is also a good example of this, where I think that version of Robotnik is actually the best version of him.In the same vein, there's the East's want to make everything as 'cute' as possible.
Western art is more strictly either literal or surreal, whereas in eastern art the line between real and metaphor is often very fuzzy if not outright disregarded. It's what leads to Japanese art coming off as very bizarre and tonally inconsistent to westerners.
>>7800005East has a different approach to art than West. They take a holistic approach with a focus on the feeling before subject where west focuses on subject then feeling. It's not always the case and there is overlap, but this is the general rule. Focus on the feeling first and everything is in service of that.For Japanese Sonic, they focus on being cute and kid friendly. everything is in service to that. so Robotnik may be the villian, but he's in service of the vibe: cute.The West is focus on the individual elements. Sonic has attitude, Tails is support and Robotnik is evil. Then they place them in the environment.I think this is an approach I want to take because hanging with you guys has got me wound up on being "correct" instead of the vibe. I forgot to draw what I want to feel because "ANATOMY! MUH REALISM!" fags on the internet.
>>7804041I feel like there is something I want to add to this, and that is that the american art is really reflective of what their ideas on commercial art for kids was at the time, the "cereal mascot art" style. The basic roots behind american cartooning also put heavy emphasis on it being organic and gestural: The rotations of sonic's fists, the dip shaped ears, the ridges of his brows. even robotnik's moustache. On the other hand, the japanese art is stiff, but everything is unified and like you said everything fits the vibe. Whatever it lacks in focusing on each individual element in the illustration, it makes up for in making it's goal a consolidated piece of art. It's almost like I can completely ignore the characters... I feel like you could probably say something else here lol.
>>7804078Yeah, thats it.In the 90s there was a LOT of ads for kids in the morning, but the root of their apprpach was looney tune/mickey mouse tube style cartoons. It makes sense theyd focus on making the character feel alive more than the piece of artwork to sell cereal. the japanese piece was focusing on making the environment and overal work feel alive. Its a more indirect way to sell a product. Inviting you in instead of barging in. Two different approaches to what feels alive.There was an experiment done on east vs west on what they see first in an image. Fish pond. The west identified the fish first then the pond, the east identified the pond then the fish.Their whole culture is about harmony with the environment first before the individual. Their medicine takes a holistic approach, their language, and the whole concept of Feng Shui. Theres not much more to be said, im going on and on.I went off a little too hard. Both approaches have their place. Being American, Id like to practice what i havent been raised too do to become more well rounded.
>"Just draws" for a decade>Almost 700k followers (including pro artists)>Doesn't follow anyone back>Doesn't tweet anything except his art>Can only be contacted via email
>>7801289>Doesn't follow anyone back>Doesn't tweet anything except his art>Can only be contacted via emailThis isn't all that uncommon. Many artists have a second burner/ personal account for following other artists.
>>7801289I think it's funny that he interacted with fans exactly (one) (1) time, drawing a buff dude meant to represent himself thanking people for 500k, and quickly deleted it when people lost their minds.I know he probably has an alt, but I might be too social media brained to be such a robotic artist. I do like when people say nice things about my art and I like it when artists humanize themselves by blogging occasionally.
>>7804143I am the opposite and wish I was like youI am autistic and think my fanbase will slit my throat for one slipup constantly so social interaction is the scariest part. I wish I could just post and people were happy with thatbut for growth... I must interact
>>7804151Well as long as you know what is acceptable on social media I think you're fine. Like... don't tweet crass stuff about jerking off or about things no one really cares about that are irrelevant to your art, like politics. Or go saying slurs and objectionable stuff. Don't broadcast every thought, keep it warm but still politely distant.Also don't be too miserable, people don't mind a few posts of the usual artist insecurity and they will support you if you're sad but if you're constant about it you're gonna drive people away. People do love to see joy, so I also like to talk about things that make me happy, like something I enjoyed about a drawing or a fun movie or game I liked.I think for me acting approachable but with a bit of distance and keeping things mostly art focused works best and is also what I like to see. People love a human artist, but not too human. I know this probably makes no sense to an autist but hope it helps.
>>7804159Yeah I am going to keep a distance like you said, I just am going to respond to positive comments with a small thanks and also will make myself do like, 2 posts that are me talking about what art thing is going on or about plans and then that is itThis advice was helpful, thanks
Beastars manga had better art style because of how uncanny, unintentional funny and cursed looks thanks to characters making giant eyes and weird faces similarly to Toriyama's art style from Dr Slump/Early DB era and speaking of this Both Toriyama's and Itagaki art style give me something that I call "giant eyes fetish"Both in Dr Slump and early Dragon Ball due to gag nature of Toriyama characters when hurt or shocked make giantic eyes and that's why I love Toriyama art style because how everything looks less animu but more toony/cartoonish (and also because in Toriyama's works there are anthro/kemono background characters and I am furry btw) but my fetish for characters making weird funny shocked faces and giantic eyes truly skyrocket when I discovered Beastars manga and in the manga version of Beastars not only art style looks like Uncanny Valley version of Toriyama style but also characters make Giantic eyes every... single.... Panel!I got erections everytime I see character in Toriyama-like or Beastars-like artstyle having giant making weird funny cursed face and giant eyes
