I don't get it. How the fuck do you make eyes point in and focus in the correct direction?

There's not a lot on this subject, and it's especially hard if the head is at an angle

It's just a general perspective/proportion/measurement struggle. But I think I figured out that I really just have to make them point inward more, even if it's hard to imagine when the face is at an angle

Sup, im using my intuos 3 a4. I have an ipad, but i just hate drawing on a sceen.
But the pen is slowl falling apart, everything is loos and the nib starts loosing sensitivity ive started getting pressure skips.
I took it already apart, tried to fix it, it helped for some time but now its worse then it was.
What should i do, is any of the newer pens compatible with the intus 3?
Is there a modern screen less tablet with a sleek work space without any texture?
All the new ones have this stupid texture. For fuck sake i dont wont to die from a micro plastic overdose.

Indian Loomis should have acknowledged his debt to real Loomis. He's good but he's standing on the shoulders of a giant.

so WHO the fuck is Geirrod Van Dyke? He appeared out of nowhere 5 years ago, posted for one month and then disapearred.
Googling his name shows that he did a bunch of comics. Their art looks far to be as good as his inktober posts.
Where is he? This guy should be at the top of the art industry

reveal ALL your secrets NOW.
how do you stay productive? how do you never get tired of drawing? how do you stay focused? how do you keep going? how have you not killed yourself?

>inb4 go outside ,gym,running,etc
already do all that and i cant focus on art for more than 30 seconds
>inb4 draw something else or whatever you like
i really cant do anything art related,nothing at all, small steps dont help either

some other questions:
Do you have a second monitor? does it really help or ruin productivity?
Do you have an end goal besides just popularity/money/whatever
Do you take supplements/meds to stay mentally healthy/focused?

Sorry Anon you have just been conned, that picture is a logical fallacy meme for a reason.
Working hard and enjoying yourself is heavily interdependent. To work hard you need to be enjoying what you are working at or else you will not be able to work hard for long your will get frustrated, tired and your productivity will suffer. To enjoy something you need to work hard at it or else you will have no satisfaction and just loose interest at it and find other fun things to do.

Sure you can force yourself to work hard

>>7425931
Been there lol. I never really got better or more consistent. I've stopped drawing for months at a time and have gone through waves of intense productivity and inspiration mixed with suddenly not drawing for months (or even a year at one point). I told myself I had to 'make it' in 3 years or I was worthless and needed to kill myself.
Mental health got a bit better eventually so I didn't kill myself and just kept going as much as I could despite never 'drawing enough'.
I still 'made it', it took closer to 9 years instead of 3 but still managed to make it my full time job eventually. Just keep going, keep having fun drawing too as thats going to push you the furthest with improving. Once you stop having fun you start approaching burn out and thats what's caused me to stop drawing for insanely long periods and hate art at times. If you aren't getting fulfillment out of drawing then you need to take step back and think about things.

I'm trying to add shading to this rough draft. The white rectangle in the back is a computer monitor and the main light source. I know everything pointing towards it should be lighter and everything facing away is darker, but I'm having trouble putting it into practice. Any help on where to place the light and dark on the image or general criticism would be appreciated!

It's a phone. Specifically the back of one. Her eyes are open, but the character's pupils are large and I was going to edit them to be smaller. I also need to fix the breast and tuff of fur located on her chest. They need to be moved to the right to be more centered on the body.

I need a short-term project to keep my motivation and have a reason to study and draw more often.. Any suggestions? I'm honestly drawing a blank here so anything to jog my brain a little helps
>>
>>7440621

My solution is to make a comic. Since you are posting in this thread, you probably already know this and you're just looking for inspiration. Here's what I would recommend. Ask your friends for the first word that comes to mind and try to expand on that. Anything where you are not the originator of the idea, including, using your dreams for inspiration. If you have a degree of separation, it's easier to let go and just work on it for practice. Make sure to write the script for a couple of pages ahead at a time, so you're not constantly looking for new ideas. I would caution against writing the entire script at once, part of the fun in this process is that you, as the creator, don't know how it ends just yet. Don't worry too much about the details, let the muses flow through you. Since this is just for practice, you shouldn't feel any pressure to make it good or interesting. I sincerely believe this is the way to go and I hope more aspiring artists start doing this. It is better to do something poorly than to do nothing at all, especially when you're just beginning. Good luck on your project, and I hope to read your progress in the next few threads.

This is a drawing by Max Grecke. What do you think he meant by it? Does being a cuckhold enhance your artistic prowess? It worked for Leyendecker, and Max too. Im thinking about asking my partner if they would be interested.

You just want to be a cuck and yap about it, so stop beating around the bush and get your partner dicked already, you stupid degenerate.

Hmmm,

While Crecke isn't a hebrew surname, I still wouldn't be surprised if early life showed something.

Looking at his work, he does tend to draw a lot more Marvel niggers than your average joe.

Sorry OP, but there is not enough evidence to support he is a cuck, but your post image does raise some eyebrows...

If you can answer that you will realize what you need to work on. Until then you'll be at the mercy of a luck stroke. Did you start with casts like every great artist or do you think you're above the greats of our generation and the past and can do better without going through what they had to
