I have so much free time but after drawing for a few hours, my mind just feels like it breaks and I can't force myself to focus on drawing, I notice that my progress slows to a halt and it becomes significantly shittierI don't know what it is, I've worked 10 and 12 hour shifts find but when it comes to drawing I just need to dedicate so much more brain power for whatever reason
>>7982382If you’re a beginner and you’re still in the “learning” phase then a few hours for one session is perfectly normal. Learning is harder than performing a skill you already know, your brain can’t stay in learning mode for that long. Take a break and walk away and do more later if you feel like it.If you can already draw and you’re working on a major project then you kinda just have to suck it up and work through the fatigue. Although even then, be aware that drawing is cognitive labor and cognitive labor can be surprisingly exhausting. As much or moreso than physical jobs. Your brain needs to take breaks every once in a while.
>>7982382Exercise ya fat fucks
Tai ChiNo cap.
I work nights, and sleep badly. When I crawl up my stairs after tossing boxes around, I don't want to do much of anything. Until I smoke a bowlful of Inspiration. Then fatigue vanishes, and I find the urge to draw.

How do I speed up in creating art? I've been drawing and doing commissions for many years but I'm still too perfectionist and slow in digital art. I get stuck in the process and the details and it drives me insane. But sometimes I feel the fire and can finish a whole piece in 3 hours, so I'm capable of not being slow as shit. Time limits and merging layers helps but it's hard to know when something is done, there's always something extra I can add. I know I'm retarded but I need advice from other artists.Anyone else struggled with this? What would you recommend? Any exercises or processes?
>>7983726Thank you for the thorough reply. I appreciate it, will be keeping this in mind and changing my process>>7983776Thanks, will do
>>7983513What part of the drawing process takes up the most time?Sketching, lineart or coloring?
>>7983280Anon, you get paid per project not per hour. The quicker you finish the more you can make. You do that by cutting out shit that takes too long to make but has little effect or replace inefficient process (like just use the bloody bucket fill tool instead of trying to be crafty by manually painting flats).
>>7984535Sketching is the big one, I can get too perfectionist with the anatomy and it ends up looking stiff. Colouring can take a while too but I think that's more what >>7983726 said in regards to not being clear on what my endpoint is so I experiment a lot
>>7983726>Try doing it on a reference thats relevant to your commission piece before you start it.Ill try this
i had the urge to make a cyberpunk story where in 2077 an indian spends his life making a sexbot that runs on pink goo fed directly into its vagina but he is laughed out of the room when presenting it as a "combat robot" to his boss (a white woman) so Rakesh transfers his concioussness into the sexbot and murders everyone who ever wronged him, but then the police use a radio hacker thingymagic on xher and the pink liquid starts leaking out of his pussy and screams something like impossible! in his actual male voice then acks into a puddle of black-pink goo leaving only the plastic lips of the robot behindAfter gooning i realized how fucking god awfull of a disgusting troon idea that was and i will not continue this comic any furtherthe sheer quality and effort put on the illustrations this deranged thought experiment is proof that i am mentally ill and should not be trusted to make creative decisions
>>7984403Make moar
>>7984403this is exceptionally kino though. could unironically be an edgy comic book.need initial scenes of rakesh creating his sex robot and then getting laughed at by his boss.
Is there a way to pirate the mobile version of CSP so you can bypass having to make monthly payments? If it was a one time thing I'd be fine paying, but renting a drawing app is ridiculous to me. The only thing keeping me from selling my Ipad and getting a Movinkpad is that Procreate is a one time purchase

So order of installation is Base 5.0.0 with all of its instructions and patches > Open it once and close > 5.0.4 patcher, which is a simple installer and .exe replacement.

I've been struggling to make my art fappable for years but nothing works.How do I make people see my art and say "yeah I'm gonna masturbate to this later"?
>>7963945study joel jurion art. make notes. redraw from memory.
the best way to make a drawing goonable is by making it by showing NOTHING. the drawing HAS to make YOUR BRAIN work. make it by IMPLYING there's something hot going on, put implications on it. make it VERY suggestive without showing any genitals or boobs, or show boobs but not nipples for example (underboob, sideboob, cleavage etc) another example is pic relatedthere's nothing showing but that face expresion and pose alone is enough to make you THINK and goon to it.once you master this, you're good to make anything.
>>7980033that requires taste and subtly. 99% of modern coomers have neither,
draw a girl and put a gotcha in the groin which is a cock
>>7963945have you considered a comic? I find my pp gets way harder when theres at least an attempt at giving the porn some context and the characters some personality

Always remember kids based people don't use drugs kids, only lame ass betas do it.

>"if only I didn't have [X distraction] in my life, then surely I would draw way more">stop engaging in [X distraction]>still don't fucking drawthe curse is eternal
>>7983928>>7983971There's a lot of advice online as to how you can do things consistently, and get better, and focus harder, blah blah etc, but I think most of it is bullshit aside from one thing:Make a habit of drawing. What I mean by that is; block out a set amount of time every day (6am-8am or something idk) and make sure you draw every day at that time. When you subconsciously come to expect you will draw every day from 6am-8am, putting in the effort will got a lot easier. And making hard things easier is the only way to actually do them. You'll know you have succeeded when you wake up one day, eat your breakfast, brush your teeth, put on your clothes, whatever, and then start drawing without ever consciously thinking "time to draw".
I just draw in the middle of the class now
the heatwave was a good excuse. i got sick right after because i still slept with an open window, so the cycle continues. on another note, cutting down distractions works as long as you actively engage and schedule set amounts of drawing time. you have to force yourself like a strict teacher.
>>7984352>i got sick right after because i still slept with an open windowAre you an anime character or something?
>>7984364just beginning to get old i guess

Stopped drawing for 2 months and now I don't know where to begin learning again. All of you constantly talk about this so tell me how you keep goin every time you give up and then come back. I know I'm still a beginner but if you tell me to read "fun with a pencil" it'll take the wind out of me. I've read that book 5 times already.
honestly, i’m an eternal /beg/ i’ve been starting on and off since i was a pre-teen, but the one thing keeps me going is looking back at what i’ve done before as a reminder that even though ive taken a break im still improving slowly. I always have to relearn the fundamentals, like learning how to draw a circle correctly but its like riding a bike.but what you really have to ask yourself is why are you coming back? is it because you like drawing? you want something out of it? once you can answer that, it feels easier to keep going and kind of feels like you have a goal.
I have to relearn everything from step one after taking a break.
>>7983796Thanks, I know i dont have to start at the very beginning but I appreciate any advice thats not "read x again" even in the end I gotta read it again.
>>7983806Sounds like hell. Ill just never take a break again.
>>7983695Just keep doing it. Take pictures you like, draw those. One of the most important things to keep sharp is your mind in all this. I try do a short animation (20 seconds) every week (realistically every month lol) but I do that and I get at least one or two backgrounds, lip syncing (and acting yay!) and character design practice all in one. If you don't care about animation, maybe just a comic page or something. Just something that you get done in a few days that will give you a wide range of practice. Keep a sketchbook around often and keep what the skills you have sharp.
I don't get it. If screenless tablets are better for your back/neck, and they take at most a few weeks before you're as good with them as any other tablet, why wouldn't everyone use them? Why do pros use expensive $1000+ tablets when something like this would be cheaper and much better for their health in the long run? The only people I've seen use these tablets are beginners or poorfags.
You're all so fucking close to realizing it. IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER. USE WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU. IF YOU WORK BEST ON A RINKY DINK 10 YEAR OLD 70 DOLLAR SCREENLESS TABLET, THEN WHO GIVES A FUCK???
>>7977658>3 years of drawing just to have that levelLmao permabegs are truly real.
>>7980887The second channel posted of that video is of a professional artist who was making Yu-Gi-Oh cards over 20 years ago and now makes figurines and shit
>>7977426Wait, so display tablets have input lag even when being used like a screenless?
>>7977392Why do people use 2000 dollar phones when 200 dollar ones do the job just fine?
