You dream about how you can live your life differently rather than pursuing your dreams??

Okay nerd you might as well change that last bit to
>I will never be anything

How much would one have to make to live comfortably in the city w/ disposable income. Assume no cable/other subscriptions besides prepaid smartphone.

>tfw we prolly gonna fukk soon

>>6001125

At least $60,000

>>6001121
w2c close female friend I don't get attached to so that we wont ry to date and we'll work for like a month and break up and never talk again

>>6001125
like, in the city itself
or like in a black neighborhood in like Brooklyn
because manhattan is expensive as fuark

>>6001093

I know this isn't really the point of your post but photogrhy is undoubtably the easiest "artistic"'hobby to get into. Just buy a fucking camera. Start taking pictures and you will be one step closer to living out your bland mediocre dreams.

>>6001175
this. make sure you use the flash a lot. like ALL the time. best thing you can do.

>>6001175
>photography is undoubtedly the easiest artistic hobby to get into
>just buy a fucking camera and take pictures
>drawing
>not easier to get into
>pencil, paper, sit somewhere

What is a cool place to live that isn't New York.

I'm tired of New York. Too many rich people and jerkcops.

>>6001194

Drawing takes years to learn how to do properly. The same cannot be said for taking a picture.

>tfw fuccboi amatuer photographer fucked my girl

>>6001194
I can't get into photography because I am afraid that I get stared weirdly at whenever some person ends up in my shot

>>6001200
puss

>>6001131
Those STEM and finance retards are flush with cash. Odds are, they'll dress better than you once the get PAIIIIID NIGGAAAA

>>6001503

lots of people with money dress like shit, especially neckbeards.

>>6001194

youre a retard if you think drawing at a professional level is easy. good illustrators often have 12+ years of experience before theyre even considered for work

>>6001212
lol

>>6001590

post a page of your 30 second gestures, just curious what your sketching is like

>>6001590

U straight trollin' nigga.

>>6001628
>>6001747

I said "lol" to the comment about photography being easy.

>>6001093

why don't you just sell everything you own and move to the city and try to make it OP?

even if you fail you can at least say you were there, a lot more than the rest of these breeders are doing with their lives.

>>6001476

Don't know if you are still reading this thread dude but that literally the single stupidest excuse I have ever read for not doing something you enjoy. If some one gets into your shot simply wait for them to move and then take it again. If they give you a weird look you can even say, "sorry, I was taking a picture of x" or "could you get out of my way I am taking a picture." Or you could just say nothing and have some one give you a weird look because who fucking cares? I don't know why your inability to do a hobby that I consider utterly stupid makes me rage so hard it just does. I can't stand people expressing ineffectuality like this I guess. Just grow pair, stop being so self conscious and take some pictures. Rant over.

>>6001804
this. u are autistic and making shit excuses

>>6001628
>>6001760

so yeah, my point was that both photography and drawing are very difficult to do well: wasn't hating on anybody.

But if you're curious anyway here you go, what I have on my computer.
Of course I'm still shit but always trying to improve

sage for not-/fa/-related

>>6001848

not bad, looks like youve taken 1 or 2 life drawing classes, the one in the very center is really good, the top left ones are pretty good too. ill try and find some of my gestures to post

>>6001807
stop using words you don't understand

>>6001875
thanks; I've never taken any actually because I grew up in a really academic environment. decided that animation was what I wanted to do though, and managed to get into art school. I'm going to Ringling in the fall.

Stuff like pic attached was a lot stronger in my portfolio than gestures, because I didn't really know how to do gestures at all a year ago (my fault). I wasn't allowed to go out and draw and take classes, and I got better at this kind of work instead.

>>6001875

taking my first life drawing class now, heres a 5 min one from last week

>tfw your life isn't how to make it in America

Fucking HBO canceling

>>6001904

Nice, illustration? you seem to like kind of photorealism is that charcoal on a toothy paper

im actually doing fashion design, so drawing isnt that stressed, i just really like it and want to be good.

heres a 30 sec one.

>>6001919
Not bad at all, it looks btter so long you cover the left arm and the head: your drawing has some flaws in perspective and proportion.

>>6001979
no, animation with a 3D-focus.
Yeah, it's charcoal. Paper isn't toothy, just small (9x12 ish).

fashion design? are you going to school/where?

youre gesture is pretty good considering you just started, but keep in mind the force of the figure because yours looks kind of static. try drawing through the figure more and using less straight lines (focus less on contour)... imagine that your drawing is ilke ants running along the figure, it's 3d, the ants don't only run along the edges

>>6002015
did you draw that???

>>6001904
I think you need to chill with the charcoal a little. I dont remember the ref looking so dark

>>6002031
haha the paper was grey.
and I don't try to follow ref, I just use it to get a general idea of the lighting/shape

>>6002030
yah.

>>6002040
yo this sounds kind of weird but you should email me right quick :-)

>>6002039
I mean because otherwise I'm just copying and that gets boring

>>6002015

thanks, the proportion is one thing that ive been having the most trouble improving, i just need to put more hours. i wish i had more hours w/ model posing.

>>6002025

got into parsons/fit, however i have am trying to go to royal academy in antwerp, but its really competitve so ill see. ive put much more time into sewing/drafting/draping clothes than sketching, but im tryint to have a balance of both abilities.

>>6002044
Sure, you got mail.

>>6002068

forgot my pic, i tend to use too many straight lines because i learn to draw industrial design style, its hard to get the fluidity of figure drawing after that.

>>6002053
I think you tried a little too much to accentuate her cheekbones, making her look like a zombie or s.t too. sketching a pic exactly is only boring if you're not learning and improving from it. it's always good to practice and improve your fundamentals with stuff like that


can you post the pic I don't have it saved on this computer

>>6002078
that makes sense. since animation is my focus the emphasis in that field is in acting/motion over precision and anatomy

>>6002089
I was going for it to be creepy actually. But thanks for the critique. I was bored with doing exact copies because I spent a lot of time in the past doing very static still lifes. I don't have the reference because I drew that a while back, sorry.

>>6002101
Here is an straight copy (lost the ref as well). It's in pencil

>>6002090

i think regardless of the field of design youre in, the fluidity you emphasize is really important, its something im trying to get better at for sure.

capturing motion is what makes gesture so elegant i think

>living in central Paris
>dying to live in New York

All you faggots have to do is get on a plane, I have to switch continents and nationality

>>6002139
>wanting to leave Paris
why

>>6002139

why? whats wrong with paris

>>6002139
what's paris like? is the food good? I'm from the U.S. and want to visit one day

>tfw you are not living in an old studio apartment in San Fransisco and going to the academy of arts and working part time ;~;

>tfw you are actually living in kansas city in a really nice studio and making good money part time

>>6002163

>tfw you will never truly be patrician because you try too hard to impress the internet

>be an artsyfag

You know nothing. get with the times. Only trust fund venture capitalist kiddies and hedge fund managers live in NYC

>>6002143
>>6002148
Full of mudslimes, no job prospects, can't stand the people, I don't really feel at home.
I've been living here for 4 years on my own, I don't feel like living here anymore.

>>6002153
Look above.
Food is good actually, organic foods, vegetables and healthy stuff are cheaper than in the US.
Good restaurants can go from reasonably expensive to excessively expensive, if you go in as a derpy tourist but your wallet will get raped.

>>6002214
it's Portland now

>>6002198
lol what

>>6001212
Implying you can properly compose a decent picture with challenging light condition

>>6002214

>live in Philadelphia
>go to Ivy with qtp2t /fa/ boys and live life up in the city
>gradually becoming more /fa/

life is gud.

>>6002634

>ivy league
>/fa/

pick one

How do I into art?

>>6002225
its not TRUST me

>>6002214
Philly's art scene is really popping, I realized that when I was in a High School art program with the art museum.

>>6002666
what ARE /fa/ schools?

>>6002666
this is actually true. Most ivies except for maybe columbia dress like shit. yale is worst dressed every year.

>>6002693

Being a college dropout is the best way to be /fa/.

>>6002660
practice
draw from life
don't copy a specific style (anime)

>>6002690
I have a relative that goes to Yale and I can confirm this.

I imagine NYU is /fa/ as fuck.

I got into the business school there but couldn't afford to go.

Heard stories of kids giving everyone in class an ipod or some shit as part of their presentations.

NYU people have fuck you money.

>>6002902

i would think NYU is filled with people that are like

"omg I get to live in New York"

thus much of the students dress like they're in Tennessee

>>6002902
why tho nyu isnt even that good

>>6002902
NYU student here. All I can say is lel.

>>6002923
their business school (finance) is pretty highly ranked

>>6002902

new school/cooper union are pretty /fa/

>>6002932
fair play i had just looked at the times world rankings and saw my uni way above it haa

>>6002660
the greats weren't great because at birth they could paint, the greats were great because they paint a lot

>>6002915
This. Not to mention - a lot of the natives have a bone to pick with NYU for buying up half of the Village and turning it all into dorm rooms.

In a way, NYU cannibalized the very place that brought it to prominence.

>>6002959
I fucking love living in the NYU dorms, fuck everyone else in the village
BLAZE IT ALL DAY FAGGOT

>>6001139
so beta dude, fuck her you pussy

>new york

so shitty weather, shitty people, shitty apartments and shitty everything?
I'd rather live in cali or florida,

>>6001212
>>6001175
>people actually believe that photography doesnt require skill

>>6002945
Half-truth. Some autistic kids can paint better than the greats because they lack certain connections in the brain. Talent is a huge factor. Talented artists might also end up working more.
