I don't think OP is saying:

OP is saying:
>My initial sketch conveys some dynamic feeling which is somehow lost in the completed drawing.

I initially interpreted it the same way, though.

I don't think any of these people particularly come from money or are the relatives of established artists
None of them have been discussed here before, I don't know - I think it's better to have more and varied work appreciated rather than styles with a broad commercial appeal

Hue variation is a stylistic choice, especially the kind you see in more contemporary art. If you look closely at his art you'll see that his blobs or color aren't uniform singular. Just very small shifts in warm and cool tones

Obviously you can do both. You can set a goal of drawing every day and mostly maintain that schedule without sperging out and beating yourself up because you missed a day.
Telling someone they only have to draw every other day, or even worse every three days, just seems like intentional sabotage to me.

Is it true that being a one trick pony artist, meaning focusing on a very specific subject will yield better results than being versatile? Generally speaking.

It's more that the success comes first, and then the artist becomes a one trick.
Most artists bumble around experimenting and trying out different things until they find that one thing that blows up and starts bringing bread to the table.
Autists on deviantart see that and build a cargo cult around hyperfocusing on their retarded fetish thinking it's a key to success when in reality it's the market that decides what you should focus on.
>>
>>7960175
Not really, you can just focus on the fundies and practice everything and you'll be pretty good. Though you will lose speed. But if your fundies are strong, you can draw anything and everything. Just look at popular artists, half the time they can do quite a bit besides "one focused area". From portraits to landscape. Idk feels like a /beg/ trap to me. Granted you have to practice a lot more but still doable.

In this AI art world? Hell no! We're in the middle of a great extinct event for artists and plenty of specialists like light novel & book cover illustrators, DnD OC artists, graphic designers and "realistic" pet portrait artists lost their careers overnight, they're all especialists and focused on a niche but now they're either flipping burguers, Ubering, or a V-Tuber like Ixy.

Where I posted 60 pages of my autobiographical comic

https://warosu.org/ic/thread/6709911

And I received interresting comments like:

Your self-absorption is the reason why you have no friends, no art skill and no story to tell.
And I'm not saying that as a HAHA, GOTCHU!, this is what your comic is telling me.

If instead of caring so much about yourself you cared about the world around you and its possibilities, generating new and creative things, people would pay attention to you and you wouldn't have to be a full-time self-fellating coping artist.

Sort out your life goals.

Nope, I hate AI. Better luck next time, retard.
Re-read my posts, and actually try to get a handle on what is being written. I am simply saying that being an artist is a job. A job revolves around money. Thus, true artists do the job for money.
What has my point about a job title got to do with demoralisation? How does the job title effect anyone's ability to draw or make art? Stop being a fucking moron.

Instead try to politely and honestly explain the issue you are seeing in detail.
Offer a visual explanation such as a redline or paint over in addition to said resource links.

Cool work, but it reads really vague. Maybe try increasing the contrast and use three shades for each color. Focus more on the shapes, and add hard highlights to improve readability.

Study Toriyama and Akio Oyabu, your work shares many qualities that theirs has.

If you're not already using a secondary view window, I think you would benefit from it.

Keep going!

Why did so many of you only start drawing later in life?
If you wanted to be an artist so bad then why didn’t you draw more as a kid? What was stopping you?
56 replies and 5 images omitted. Click here to view.

>>7966829
I started drawing consistently in high school but I stopped mainly because I had college courses and a job eating up most of my free time, and also due to lacking confidence in my drawing ability. I felt like I wasn't able to ever become a "good artist" mainly because I didn't have an existing pathway or support that could help me improve.

I picked up drawing four years later and I've been drawing consistently for about two, three years? I'm not as good as I want to be, but I'm seeing improvement and I like where things are going. I pretty much had to self-teach myself how to learn how to draw and the results have been satisfying. Whenever I have the opportunity, I tell the kids I work with about how to improve at drawing.

Seeing behind the curtain does take away the mystique, but quite frankly I think making the act of creating art into a mysterious performance does a lot more harm than good.

All you have to do is just grind shapes and forms for a month, then draw from life and use references. And by "use" references, I mean applying the exercises and techniques found in DRSB, Cognitive Drawing (or Memory Drawing, whichever one), the Art and Science of Drawing, the Natural Way to Draw, and the Art of Responsive Drawing:

>blind (pure) contours
>observe ref, hide ref and draw from memory, then copy the ref
>trace the ref and focus on how things connect
>break down the ref into shapes and forms
>draw ref upside down
>negative space and positive space drawings

Scienticism made every discipline worse. It's a refuge for the talentless and less wise, for those who needed to cope with data and formula, where a structured argument could have been made instead. Modern academia really suffers from it. It's just data slop.

In the matter of art: a distraction from actually practicing and getting good.
