I reading books/manga/comics an hobby I can maintain even after deciding to significantly improve my art skills and spend most of the day drawing in spite of having a job?
I might need a source for creative ideas in general even as a wagie.

Use a timer on your computer/phone to see how long you spend doing things over the course of a week. Write it all down and ask yourself if that's really a good use of your time. Treat yourself as if you're someone who you actually care about and see potential in. Give some leeway as habits are hard to change

A self help book wont help you but "the power of habit" is free on youtube so if you have 10 extra hours to waste, might as well do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqWuLDEfR-I

I've timed myself before, and one single quick "break" on 4chan takes up a minimum of 15 minutes. Even if I only intended to stop for 2-3 minutes.

Finding the right program to animate in is a hustle.
I can never get used to drawing complex things on ToonBoom but it's a great program to animate in.
CSP is the best for drawing but when it comes to animating arrenging the frames and folders is a pain in the ass.
I got TV paint trying to get a job but it didn't work out. The program is good but it's old as fuck and has some weird ass shortcuts. Overall I prefer toonboom for animating.

why are logo artists such niggers ?
Either they're selling the most soulless cartoony traced dogshit, or they're indian scammers.
The legitimate sellers charge $500 for a fucking sketch
how much meth are these cunts smoking ?
Character artists and background artists don't charge even 1/3rd as much and are significantly more talented
What makes them so entitled ? Is it because they hold a monopoly and have all agreed to charge ludicrous amounts and call everyone that refuses to pay, poor ??

my advice is join 99designs and designcrowd, enter about 300 logo competitions, establish a process, use a sketchbook and inkscape, and you will get decent at it, then start on upwork

but the truth is, since the appearance of ai, the value of a logo design has dropped in half and i don't see any reason why it wont keep dropping
>>
>>7223013
>i don't see any reason why it wont keep dropping
Well stock logo sites have existed for some time, and cheap Indian designers have been around too, and that hasn't stopped designers.
To me, it seems AI is replacing stock images and lower end stuff, so ironically it'll hurt Indian designers the most, but higher end designers will be fine.

Same for illustrators.

Tbh it's a cheatcode for engagement. If you have no morals and don't care of the consequences of your actions in the long term, then you can just create ragebait or politically radical art.

Your hands are pretty good, you just need a bit of milage and to simplify, think of it in terms of, if one line could suffice try not to draw multiple. I would also avoid chicken scratches but it's a really nice exercise.

This is a thread for those who want to go through dynamic sketching as a group in an effort to improve drawing skills starting from the very fundamentals. Here we share the tedious grind, crit and encourage each others.
Please specify the week you're on and if it's dynamic sketching 1 or 2 when posting your work.

>What's Dynamic Sketching?
A class by Peter Han that focus on improving draftsmanship, construction and design. It is intended for beginners, but the second class can be useful even for /int/. It covers a wide variety of subjects, but not figure drawing.

>Where to get it?
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0aebc0f02e6c179b62e04c69af3e5adee3abee12&dn=IC-STUDY

\Course\Form and Construction\

>Peter Han says to get a lot of material, are they needed?
Your choice. Honestly, just draw. Use what you have. But if you want, you can get it. You can do it digitally, but try to refrain from using ctrl+z and other features. At the end of the day though, do what you want. As long as you put the work you're gonna see progress.

I did DAB to lesson 3-ish when I first started drawing, and everything I’ve done thus far in Dynamic Sketching is stuff I already did a version of, so it feels like a good refresher. I’m excited to get to the stuff I’ve never seen before. This version of the dissections is slightly different from DAB, though, which is neat.

>How do I best pursue this dream without it becoming a nightmare?

You start.

I am not kidding:

1. Go somewhere outside and just start sketching people and things. They don't have to know that you are drawing them. This is to help you get more comfortable drawing outside.

2. Find someone to bring along. They can be there for moral support, another artist, or they can pretend to be your first customer.

3. Find where other artists are congregating and ask them questions and just watch them work, see what kind of materials they are using and what kind of signage they have. What are their hours? You can even follow them to keep in contact with them. Some stream themselves doing it online. I would even suggest to keep these spots in mind when you are ready to start drawing outside for money.

4. Go to big events, such as parades, etc. You can offer to draw people for free or $1. It would be preferable to find a space where there's seating and tables so you can save money.

Also:

6. Set up payment that is really popular with people wherever you live. This way you don't make yourself an easy target for thieves. You can even set up a QR code that has all different ways for people to pay, give you tips, etc. Unless you live in an area where no crime exists, at all, and you rather cash I would suggest just keeping your money next to you or in a really safe spot.

likeness is the hardest skill to develop. anything, and I literally mean even a single millimeter off, can ruin the sensation of likeness. it could be where you show your lines, or how you shade. the only way to get good at conveying likeness is to practice until you can recognize those small errors in your work and adjust. there is no easy way to learn except practice

tldr just draw

Prob by just drawing through observation constantly to get a handle on rapidly sketching people. And then just getting used to not being able to erase with with pens/markers

Here's the real answer, OP

Contrary to popular belief, high lands are NOT stable places. In fact, they are the single most active and dangerous places you can go to.

Imagine this:
The highest wind speeds are blowing upon its entire summit
The winds are carrying torrential amounts of rain and hail that weather the rocks
Gravity is acting upon the boulders

These 3 factors act upon the entire elevation 24/7 non-stop. A small chip that you saw 1 month ago can suddenly grow into a large crack and it will grow at an ever-increasing rate until the pressure finally gives in and it causes a rock slide

And you want to live at the bottom of it?

>>
>>7220013
Funnily enough, nope. Water = easy trade, way more valuable than any local natural resource. Except maybe oil. People didn't build the majority of their cities by major rivers or seas for fun, it's because the settlements by major rivers or seas grow into major cities by being centers of trade. Trade facilitated by those water features. Transporting cargo by water is by far the cheapest method. Why do you think it's still the primary method of transporting goods?
