Is there really no reliable way of opening your mind's eye in order to be able to imagine something, and then draw it like you're looking at a reference in real life?

I'm not talking about construction and sketching and erasing and adjusting etc until you find something you're satisfied with, but sharpening your imagination and being able to hold an image still in your mind for a long period of time

this, every minute you spend with your tulpa friends, it increases, every minute you spend looking at your phone and drooling on yourself it decreases. If you have "aphantasia" you're just the equivalent of a 400 pound guy hearing about sprinting and thinking it's literally not possible for him.

Or you don't have a human soul, probably both are possible.
>>
>>7843921
I don't have aphantasia, I can imagine things I just can't visualize them

The easiest example would be drawing while looking at a reference vs drawing after only being allowed to study the reference

A ton of the top tier artists can see something and then conjure it up in their heads without effort, they can keep a consistent and accurate image in their mind and switch their "eyes" from that image to the paper so it's basically like drawing from reference

I can conjure up an image for maybe half a second before it disappears and it's almost never accurate, if I have to draw something from memory it means I'll have to learn the reference as a mnemonic in words
>"oval head, three bangs one going to the left, left hair part makes a spear tip shape, eyes slightly further apart and tilted inward, long nose etc"
Whereas a top tier artist can just bring back the image itself and "look" at that while drawing

I can imagine animated 3D action in color, it's just not useful for my drawing in any way since it's all vague undefined shapes

I've never seen this. Often artists do a quick underdrawing and use their years of skills to build up/design what they want out of the underdrawing. The reason why they have to make the underdrawing (or sketch) super fast is because we can't hold on to an image long without it morphing on us due to any minuscule of input- like a misplaced brushstroke for example.

Only sensible anon here. REFERENCES, retards, that's how you build your imagination muscles. You draw the human body from reference enough times, and eventually you'll be able to do it from nothing. You fucking morons

I really enjoy watching boomers creating art. There is something about them that the newer generations just cannot capture. I wonder if it is related to life experience and not chasing the algorithm as much as the zoomers content creators. I do wish they were more popular than some random guy doing some FNAF fanart and giving bad advices

A lot of you want to become big artists on social media yet are so complacent and stuck in your victim mindset and it’s actively contributing to your stagnation. There are artists, both big and small, trying to inform you about the steps you can be taking to legitimately improve your experience on social media and potentially grow a career, yet so many of you will find a million and one excuses to not have to move out of fear, ignorance, or ambivalence.

Obviously there are people who have things going on in their lives that contribute to them not being able to give their all into their career paths, but the cohort of people that have gotten so used to not bettering their chances of success due to being inconsistent in their approach to posting and/or not knowing how business in social media works in relation to art would much rather sit behind their shields of nihilism, ignorance, and victimization instead of doing the work of being part of a community to promote each other and make sure we all have something to eat at the end of the day besides depression.

Luck is an undeniably huge factor of building an online status as an artist, but consistency and quality is what will ultimately keep people around. Success is found through sacrifice, self reflection, and having faith in oneself to achieve their dreams, and community is built through everyone sacrificing a little bit of something for the common and greater good, those willing to put forth the effort and do the work will bear the fruits of the labor while those who stagnate and refuse to change their way of thinking will forever have seeds in a garden that will never grow.

Incels fantasy are always so hilariously anime. Nigger should society collapse weak losers like you will be immediately killed by the very men you though would empathize with your self-inflicted loserdom and throw you a few women to rape. I actuality there will be no collapse and you will continue to seethe about everyone having a sex life but you.

I'm learning art for game dev and I notice that people are so bad at hiding their power levels now. They treat it like a violation of their right to free speech that they can't post total nigger death under their full legal name and address with their face attached. The weird thing is 4chan is totally normified these days (KF is the new scary boogeyman site) so I don't know why nobody cares about anonymity.

I had a webcomic once upon a time. This sample strip wasn't what I intended, but what I had time to do, a story that grew organically under my pen as I spent time in waiting rooms with too much time on my hands. It went away several years ago, but the dream still clings, still haunts, still flickers as a dim hope.

Assuming you got the necessary skills to pull it off, is there a market for trad paintings depicting the medieval era. I think that there is interest but when you consider how long it would take to setup and paint it that would elevate the price too much for most people interested in this kinda of painting. So now you are stuck with rich people and competing against modern art bs

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

The problem is learning how to learn something so abstract. Many artists have just been brute forcing muscle memory since they were children and don't actually know how to learn efficiently.

Any person can understand how to grind rote memorization or problem solving, or less abstract muscle memory practice. This is way more difficult.
