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.

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 the most depraved piece of art you've created?

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

Rules:
>Do not take the bait or derail. Don't be a sperg.

>No tits, no coochies, no female body ratio.
>Females are welcome so long as the image remains male-focused.
>Don't sperg if a feminine male (not femboy) is posted, ignore if it's not your cup of tea, keep in mind the nature of stylization and simplification in anime and cartoon art styles before you choose to derail the thread, though crit is welcome like always.

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

supply and demand. generally, if you have a lot of people DMing you for commissions, you raise prices to thin the requests of poor quality customers. ironically, clients willing to pay $200+ for work are usually easier to work with and are less entitled. cheap clients are insufferable

People hate the faggots that want to reap the rewards of mastery of a craft without the effort. It's a tale as old as time.

>I do, it's ridiculous hypocrisy.
is it? is it a hypocrisy if the whole anti ai sentiment itself is one giant hypocrisy based on almost 300+ years of propaganda and bullshit? the reason why this "hypocrisy" that you "care" for is persistent and common is precisely because the whole anti ai sentiment is itself hypocritical, so its fair game.
There is nothing wrong in ai gend art or code or whatever what is wrong is that only 1 guy benefits from it at the expense of everything else but this is apparently too difficult of an idea for people to accept because of some egoistic "i own my art" copyright apologist, anthropocentrist, muh soul bullshit.

fucking realize that by participating in this anti ai sentiment you are not just digging your own grave but dragging other people in it. Some jackass will propose a genius idea: what if all internet traffic was ID verified? what if internet was 100% monitored and controlled by global cabal of copyright holders like Disney and Netflix? that would satisfy all the billionaires, all of the idiot "artists" and all the dictators of the world!
