about 2 years, nothing about this compositionally is crazy, the thumbnail is very simple, the horse anatomy and pose is also very basic just enough to show it's a horse nothings really defined, could just drop in a horse photo and paint over it to the same effect, the rendering and painting is the strongest part and it's not insane either

From my experience, color theory does not have that much theoretical knowledge involved. Any video or article about color theory just repeats the same things about hue, value and saturation, the color wheel, primary, secondary and tertiary colors, and that is about it. Once you read about that, I think it is more beneficial to analyze photos and pieces of art you think have good colors and then try to bring their color schemes into your own art. What also helped me was getting out of stereotypical ideas of what color things have to be. Skin is not always peachy orange, depending on the colors surrounding it, it can be yellow, grey, blue, etc and still look right. Black hair often has tints of red and blue.
I think any artist can benefit from just paying more attention to the colors around them. So when you see a really pretty sunny street, think "What colors do I see? Why do they work so well together? Are there any colors that I wouldn't expect?"

Yes and am very happy with it. I really wanted to be able to draw in this one certain weeb style for a long while. Over time by copying shit left and right I kinda got the hang of it and I can do it without reference with almost any character. Sfw, nsfw. Comic. Etc. Took a long fucking while but in the end feelsgoodman.

you have no excuses, it's the damn internet algorithm that is frying our brains.
Just close the tech and pick yourself up from your table, start drawing,just let the pen do whatever, eventually you will feel in a mood to draw, it's even kind of relaxing, it just takes mental fortitude.
>>
>>7158646
This is why artists have always been vagrants and wanderers who lived on the peripheries. Bohemians and counter culture weirdos, poor people, etc. Live light and only do the bare minimum to stay fed and have a room to sleep in. You don't need most modern amenities or entertainment, they are largely distractions for plebs to escape from their discomfort of their own skin anyway.

>There's been studies that have shown there's a cut off point for learning optimization somewhere around 2.5 to 4 hours.

that's cool, yeah that 1 buzzfeed study that 1 time, but in practice it's alot different, art progression doesn't work the same way, you could draw 8 hours and finally get a good piece have a breakthrough that's happened to me a ton of times. & it's not as though we are studying or learning and pushing ourselves that entire 4 hours of drawing, we're just drawing and painting most of the time repeating shit we've already done.
>>
>>7160462
also no one in the top % of anything is doing it for 4 hours a day, so there's no argument.
>>
>>7160504
It's not the physical toll, it's the mental and spiritual damage. I've been in offices pushing paper and I've been outdoors doing physical labor and I'd pick the latter everytime. Office work has a way of crushing the individuality and artistic curiosity out of you that's hard to explain.

You don't. These mannequins are more a decorative piece than an actual artist tool. You're better off getting one of those fancy anime action figures or a stickybones as shown in >>7158578
>>
I have anime mannequin, but it seems useless to me, because it’s a struggle to get natural pose. and it will only look good from one angle. it’s much better to find photo reference of a real person, then the pose will make sense.
>>
>>7156684
It's mostly to understand foreshortening from different angles. You can pose it and see how certain body parts look foreshortened and where they are in space. Definitely not useless. A lot of people mistake it as a figure drawing reference, which it is not.

I use this thing though: >>7158056 which is good enough that it can inspire ideas. Usually what I do is I imagine a scene from nothing, then use the Sticky Bones puppet and recreate the pose. Then I look at it from different angles and many times I improve on my idea by seeing more interesting perspectives and/or making slight adjustments to the pose.

Stop death gripping your pencil like as if you were gooning and hold it more easy on your hand. The right finger position gives all the stability you need without pressing down like your clinging on to dear life
Also of you feel your wrist hurting take a short break as well

I don't think he looks at reality enough. He seems to design things from a limited visual library (maybe because he doesn't like to 'copy',) and so everything he makes seems inbred in a weird way, or somehow generic.
I think he leans too hard on the shape design to carry characters especially. There's a distinct lack of interesting accessories, details, and function. It's all just kind of superficial, pointy candy.

Jesus Christ, what's up with this board not understanding that technical quality in social media doesn't matter? Were you born yesterday? Did you never hear the word algorithm before? Luck is 90% of why certain posts makes bigger numbers than others, shove it in your head. Youtube is maybe the most "meritocratic" one, but thumbnail click rate is more important than content for the success of a video, and the shift towards tiktok type of videos makes luck even more important, why do you think the video of a girl making silly faces is the most liked despite actually being some good content out there? It's always been like this, face reality.

Depends on how much time you have to spend,and how often you can use it. I tried spending my hour between classes at the library, and did two pictures from photoa I found in old issues of National Geographic, and when I had more time, I did this one sitting in the lobby of the student union building. A sketchbook and a few pens can make odd moments profitable, but I would look no further than the entertainment the process of drawing gives you,damn the actual results. Its a game between your pen and raw chaos of the blank expanse that to play is to do nothing but win.
What you draw now will make the next one better.
