What's going in the mind of a permabeg that causes them to be unable to progress in art?>be anon>draw every day>learn everything in anatomy books by Loomis, vilppu, hampton and watch Proko>memorise every landmark on the body>his art didn't improve but instead stay the same or got worse I don't understand. This person spent 4 years drawing every single day, he's a hardworking person (the opposite of nodraw), he took every advice to heart, tried everything. But for some reason, he still failed to improve. I just want to ask because I'm really hopeless right now. Nothing seems to work.
>7969201Don't feed this schizo. He doesn't even try and just waste everyones that try to help him time.
>>7968765>This of course is not true when you can see a lot of talented asian illustrators happen to be in STEM fieldThere is another potential wrinkle to this.Asian curriculum integrates geometry at every level of math, and stress visual proofs for even advanced problems. Now I'm not saying drawing and math are the same, but the mindset required for visual problem solving almost certainly helps both.
>>7967483Excuse me, only I can post my lack of progress.>>7968718I posted that because i havent done a full drawing of my OC this year, that packrat is from a self-imposed challenge to draw characters from games ive played in maid outfits.>>7968721Thats the one you like most?
>>7969624>The first thing you should have done is just use the straight-line tool to draw the horizon line rather than just putting two random dots. ok thank you. That is something actually usable. I was just eyeballing two points along the horizon.Is this any better?>>7969798>He doesn't even try and just waste everyones that try to help him time.I dont know who you are but I think you have me confused for someone else because I always take advice given to me. as long as its actual usable advice.>>7969794>the most important art book to read is an economics bookfunny joke anon
>>7969914>funny joke anonIf your problem had something to do with art you could have found a solution already.

>>7964225How do these permabegs ever gain traction?Surely this is some kind of psyop.
>>7964242Taste cannot be objectively measured, retard.
>>7970000Awful get
One of the best drawing books ive ever used. Did it filter you?
>>7966924I think for me the biggest takeaway was that art is the consistent application of techniques that can be learned rather than some kind of magic people summon from their midochlorions.I think the right brain / left brain stuff should be reevaluated even though I think most sane people see it as a metaphor for thinking like an artist.
>>7966882a lot of drawing instruction seems to assume the reader is always coming from the same intuitive place as the author and mainly needs to be told what didnt come naturally to them
So, can any of you larpers pyw?
>>7966745The title is so pretentious I won't even pirate the book to check whether the contents are too.
>>7966745Didn't help me because I never had a problem with copying a reference. My problem is simplifying and spending tons of time erasing.
Have you given up on trying to earn from your artwork? I've tried but I couldn't sell anything at all, so i don't care. I'll just work on comics and maybe post here and some other website for comics. It was a waste of time to post art on reddit, insta, xitter, tiktok and commission websites
>>7967209Aight. Include this (You) to under layer of your current WIP just to make sure you are a drawfag and entitled to your opinion and not the requester who keeps pretending to be a drawfag and goes silent when asked to provide some evidence
I have a pretty passive income so I just self fund all my projects and draw for fun. I got tired of drawing for others anyway

I just had an idea.An interactive painting.Not a game, not a website.An interactive png.Imagine like a battle painting only that the figures move around and die and spawn.
>>7969865That’s called animation. Or a video game. Whichever
retard
this was ye old pchats. we all used to rp with our characters live all the time. i battled and had chaotic stream-of-consciousness adventures off and on for years. there were rooms too with prearranged settings where everyone’d visit interact around then go, like a bar, or a sauna, or whatever, or fighting rings, or nsfw interactive rooms, but i was too embarrassed to go near those. i usually just did whatever with my friends. we drew the sceneries around ourselves as we changed locations. it was pretty rough and simple, but we could draw surprisingly ok/fluidly fast from doing it all the time. i wonder what they’re all doing right now. sometimes i’ve seen one or another of them on a random art site under the same name. good times.
I feel extremely insecure about wanting to paint pretty women while being a man myself. How do I overcome that self-imposed anxiety and accept that a manly man can love pretty princesses? I bench 225 lbs. so I don't even know why I like this shit in the first place
>>7969692>short>broad hipped>fat ass>dumb as a brick>bleeds from the crutchNah, most men are just horny retard simps and don't realize how aesthetically unpleasant women actually are
>>7969695You're jealous + you will never be a woman
>>7964411>what would you think if you saw an artwork like pic rel and knew it was made by a grown man?PLEASE MAKE ME YOUR DISCIPLE SENSEI *DOGEZA*
>>7964778I really dislike that shit is so extreme today and you either have retarded trannies who glorify women to the point where they despise being men, or these RAPE KILL WOMEN types who try so fucking hard to hate 'em like being a man is about being pissed at women. Both terminally addicted to porn.For fuck's sake nobody's normal anymore.
>>7969692You could say all that without posting astroturfed whores, what's next, gonna post images of Sabrina Carpenter?
I went through lesson 1 and the 250 boxes challenge. It turns out to be pretty okay if you just managed to follow the instructions. Sure, it is boring but boredom is a frame of mind; just reframe it as something you like to do. As long as you follow the instructions mentioned by uncomfortable then it actually feels comfortable.So, I'm just going to address the elephant in the room. His art. Sure his art looks horrendous but who knows if he actually draws like that. Is that even a certain measurement to gauge how good of an artist you are.Do you realize how shaky that system of gauging is? A professional artist could've drawn a shitty stickman on purpose for fun then you anons with shit for brains mistake it as their actual skill level. Uncomfortable is probably not even that bad of an artist, he's probably just having fun with creating art that he just doesn't care about the little flaws that you autistic man children are so autistically angry about.Comment too long.

>>7969459For all the retards who complain about this easy baby course(because it literally is, and irshad himself treat you like one) just do lesson 1 and the boxes. Never stop doing the l1 warm ups as well
>>7969407slang that was adopted outside the south out of ebonics worship and a concentrated push by tumblr types to replace the misogynistic term "you guys" on the internet with something gender neutral.
>>7969423Some of us are actually just southern, though
>>7969370DrawABox is okay. its decent for a free lesson resource. Especially because it was around before everyone and their mother was making youtube tutorials.The problem is that people on this site treat each course as a end all be all for getting good at drawing and then get mad when it doesn't work out like that. DrawABox isn't the only course on this board with this problem. They also don't follow the 50% rule he states at the beginning wher e he tells you not to grind away lessons all the time and to actually try drawing things you enjoy with the things you've learned from the course. Lastly, the 250 box challenge. People taking DrawABox have jumped into that challenge and tried to blow through it in one day. While IS possible, it's harder than it looks and you're more likely to burn out before you finish. Especially if you're just getting into drawing.
>>7969824>>7969417Finally, some people whom understood what I've been saying.
Twitter suspended my 2 yr old art blog
>>7966121>t. illiterate AIDS infected degenerate
>>7952916i got shadowbanned. i didn't realize twitter did shadowbans but my posts get 0 views now and don't appear in the latest feed for the hashtags i post them under.
Why do people even still bother using Twitter these days?Instagram and Tiktok are unironically way betterr places for trying to advertise your art/portfolio
>>7969797>InstagramAs much as I hate twitter, I hate the zuck infinitely more.>TiktokCringe.Honestly, while twitter is annoying, I do enjoy just scrolling and seeing art. Just ignore anything that isn't art, and you'll have a good time.>>7967248>i didn't realize twitter did shadowbansI think twitter was the first site to do it? At least, it was the first one where such accusations were big and turned out to be true. This was before elon, though you'd think he'd have gotten rid of the shadowbans, given how much he jerks himself off over being a free speech dude.I suppose it's better to be shadowbanned than outright banned, I guess.
that’s so bad. i’m very sorry, op.i have no idea how it works, but i hope you can get it back somehow, soon.
After everything that happened, are you starting to realize, you were a bit harsh with it?
>>7969592>i don't think deviantart allows porn anyway, i swear i've seen it before though...NTA but you can post porn but you need to tag it with the Mature flag when uploading. No-nos are aged up characters who are canonically young and non-consent sexual act. No-nos can be posted IF you put them behind any paywall: monthly supporters, one-time payment and so on. Also, you can simply have 0 cost paywall, the viewer doesn't need to pay to see it, it just needs to have the paywall for no-no stuff.t.6k followers in DA and make most money from comms and subscribers in DA
Honestly why is there no community/portfolio website? It’s practically free real estate at this point. If someone just redid old DA with different colours or whatever with some actual anti-ai moderation it would be hugely successful Artstation has zero socializing and DA destroyed itself. Someone do this
>>7969633I remember the comic about 2 characters talking about how there's 16 different sites and they should make one site to combine all the good things. Then the last panel is how there's now 17 different sites
>>7955774As someone who tried and failed to become a programmer, I blame smartphones for this shit. It's difficult to design an attractive user interface when your website needs to also work on a small, touchscreen.
>>7968118Yeah Instagram fucking sucks
Does drawing boxes actually help with your perspective/visualization skills or is it just a meme?Do experienced artists still find value in doing box exercises from time to time?
>>7966273yes
I’ve been drawing a couple boxes every day (like 5 or 6 freehand, nothing serious) and trying to correct them if they look off and I already feel like I’m paying more attention to perspective and vanishing points in my other drawings.Thanks, boxes.
>>7966273I've seen box drawing related to grinding low level monsters in RPGs. Your first 100 boars gets you out of the starting area but the same activity will give diminishing returns the higher level you reach until it effectively becomes 0.
>>7966657You need to understand what makes thing a thing by observing you need to be capable of dissecting everything into basic shapes and then adding details and also understand perspective while you are at it. Drawing boxes will help you nothing if you don't understand how to apply it.
if you want to use your time wisely, then draw cubes from a specific position on the picture plane of a few rotations that you can then learn to rotate with circles in perspective and of a specific circle of vision, if you want to waste your time drawing any box of any position on the picture plane of any random rotation, of any size or proportions and eventually blow your brains out with a shotgun then do that

>time to draw the other eyeONENOTHING WRONG WITH METWONOTHING WRONG WITH ME
I'm convinced its physically impsosible yo draw a symmetrical face, Ive spent my entire life trying to do it and I just can't. I was born with some rare disorder where I can't see symmetry.
>>7969679I don’t think it’s a matter of “seeing” for me, because I can always see that it’s wrong. I just can’t find how to correct it
>>7969676You didn't draw it

do you have a rotation of things you like to draw? what is it?

>>7969670Why are you copying me?
>>7969636titsasspucciJust kidding. seriously though, I usually rotate between fantasy, sci fi, and horror. I've got ideas within each of those genres that slowly formulate in just the amount of time it takes to make a full on illustration. So I'll do a fantasy, then in the time it takes to finish the picture I've been ruminating on the other genres then start painting one of them etc etc.
