To eat

For fun, you retard. That's like asking why you'd get good at the guitar when Spotify gets thousands of new tracks uploaded every day. Or why you'd exercise when you'll never be Arnold Schwarzenegger. Your main reason for doing it should be because you enjoy doing it.
Don't devalue the vital necessity of self-fulfillment, self-worth, and personal actuation. There is inherent value in just feeling like you are good at something. You don't need to be the best, or to have a skill nobody has. It just needs to feel good to do to make it worth it, and you only need to be better than 95% of the population for it to really feel like a special skill (important: most of everybody sucks at almost everything. 6 months of dedicated practice and you'll be at a level that most people consider impossible for themselves because they have stunted motivation and attention).

I feel bad for people who are trying to market their skills competitively, though. Making a living off of art seems like absolute shit. I'm glad I have a day job an never intend to make a living off of art.

Fuck. I messed up the block text. How embarrassing.

>>6149411
get contacts instead nerd

>It feels like wearing glasses slightly alters your perspective.
Not enough for it to be significant.

>Is there any downside to drawing while wearing glasses?
None that I've found.
If anything having glasses is an advantage!
Normies have to squint their eyes to get blurry images - it's a very useful technique when you're starting your drawing and want to capture the big picture, without worrying about details. And squinting for a long time is really uncomfortable.
But we, the glasschads, can simply take off our glasses to use this technique :)

>>6149480
Overly expensive in the long run, cringe smoothbrain choice.

>>6149411
Maybe if your frames are the size of drink coasters, otherwise, no. Wear your glasses in confidence and stop worrying about such silly things as that.

1. Digital press/offset press. The higher the resolution supported with the right paper the sharper and more vibrant your prints will look.

2. Laser. Go eat a dick if you ever use inkjet.

3. Depends on your use + finish + method of printing. Browse paper merchant catalogues and check if the print shop has it.

4. Preference.

5. Nigger

>>6149406
just buy a printer moron. like $300 for a good one.

>>6149432
>>6149503
You see the thing is I want to sell my prints, so I'm also looking for good material that is good for shipping and doesn't run the risk of getting bent.

So far I've been printing my art on PVC sheets but it's too expensive to turn any profit.

I fucking love finishing bros.
I just wanna finish drawings all day.

This was me during highschool. But during that time art was more about the ideas than anything else.
I'd much rather draw more than get stuck on one thing for a while.

i dont draw

>>6149397
Almost every part of the process is painstaking because I'm new to it all. I can't wait for the day when I can get my ideas looking halfway decent on paper while I'm still interested in it

>>6149397
yeah same
I can pretty much doodle all day but finishing shit? nah fucking sitting there for 5-10 hours polishing it
Nigga it so fucking boring

That's just popart.

>>6149281

the best thing about deleting my twitter account was no longer having to see stupid forced shit like the "wacky lesbos" in OPs image, among other things

thanks for the chuckle anon

>>6149281
Man this shit comic is atrocious

>>6149290
I guess in Op case its not zooming problem, but moving canvas relying on middle of tablet, cause its comfortable for him, kinda same for me.

Also>>6149275
Op- you push your stilus to hard. How old is your tablet. Lower the pressure curve?!

>>6149294
Stylus*

Retarded captcha, 4shit is a joke.

>>6149290
I actually tried zooming in to fix this ""problem"", that is, zoom in such a way that a line I want to draw fills the whole screen. Was super uncomfortable and went back to drawing larger lines just super zoomed out (so a line being 1000 pixels long is still drawn with a short fast stroke in that small area of the tablet).
>>6149294
>I guess in Op case its not zooming problem, but moving canvas relying on middle of tablet, cause its comfortable for him, kinda same for me.
yeah, that too
>Op- you push your stilus to hard. How old is your tablet. Lower the pressure curve?!
I started drawing on it around 2 years, 6 months 11 days ago. Also the pressure settings feel like shit, I can never get them right. For the longest time I assumed it's a "me" problem, but I never had problems with precision in trad. Then I heard somewhere that lower end Wacom tablets have shit pressure sensitivity and that would explain a lot. Tablet still works perfectly fine aside for that, so I don't think that's a problem. I'm also planning on getting a newer one anyway. Either larger screenless or one with screen. Kinda related to the issue because I was thinking that with a screen tablet I would see where I'm actually drawing and that would solve this middle screen ""problem"".

>>6149275
My old-ass Wacom Bamboo has a mark just like that in the center, lol. You're not using the tablet wrong, you're just moving your canvas so that whatever you're drawing is in the center of the screen, which I do believe is a pretty common habit.
If that concerns you at all, here's a trick- get some paper, cut it to fit, and tape it down to your tablet (preferably with something that will keep a firm grip yet is easily removeable, like masking tape). You'll never have to worry about surface wear again. Feels nice to draw on too.

>>6149275
buy a tablet cover from foxbox if it bothers you that much (you can even put an anime girl on it!)

>>6149256
/ic/ is retarded, the point is if you're listening to music you're not 100% focused on your art, you're not giving your art the maximum attention it deserves.

>>6149299
Yes /ic is retarded and you confirm it.

Tbf he was animating and not just drawing.

>>6149299
Even surgeons sometimes listen while working if you cant that means you are autistic and cant take too much noise

>>6149299
Why does /ic/ always have these retards with super hot takes that never related to art itself in the first place? I'd like to see someone being autistic about something relevant instead of how one should draw, which tablet to use, which genes to be born with

>>6149218
now i will graduate from png vtuber to live2d vtuber

I have been thinking in doing something with this tool. But what exactly? Some animation dagasi style of something taking in the ass? Sure, I could do that, but I want to chase something greater than that.

I was thinking the other day that most webcomics don't use the fact they are on the internet to their full extent, so maybe an animated webcomics with mix media homestuck style, that sounds something cool to do. I just wish I had the will to go trough it.

> Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties?
Only fags and normies worry about this shit.
It's the lifestyle of "artists" who are friends with rich people.
> Where's the glory and adventure?
Try hiking on weekends or something. You don't need to be drawing 24/7 inside.

>>6149088
>Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties? I
Give up art and go become a socialite instead, you don't need to draw to do all those things moron

I am miserable and depressed
Mom asks constantly when will I get a job

>>6149088
>Is this really it? Do we just draw in our bedrooms all day, and then that's it?
That literally sounds heaven and its my goal. Do you actually draw anon?

>>6149021
fpbp

>>6149061
you don't know enough 16 year olds

>>6149016
most artists did their best work in their early 20s. Michelangelos Pieta Berninis David...incredible what you can achieve if you dont have an anime website to distract you 24/7

>>6149016
the world was much different back then
when someone wanted to become an artist they started early and went to academies for it early
now these days it seems you don't get to learn any drawing formally until you're in college

>>6149016
If you start now it shouldn’t take you more than 24yrs to achieve the same results

Also, back then the expected life span was 50yrs and today it’s probably near 100. So just finish it before you hit your mid life. Plenty of time

>>6148891
nah there's plenty of girls that somehow just draw amazing without any courses probably didn't even do loomis just a couple youtube tuts

>>6148891
What site is that?

>>6149410
I definitely think /ic/ has a higher f-m ratio than other boards. You can often tell by their typing styles, and they tend to come out of the woodwork when there's MS paint portrait threads or whatever other egocentric shit pops up on here sometimes.
>>6149450
lol stinky mad

>>6149466
Im not mad nor denying the allegations I just wanna know why!

>>6149442
>pinky
how do people get this? are you just dragging your knuckle on the page?
>ring finger
how the FUCK did you manage that?

>>6149450
I think the skinwalker comment was implying that you might be either trans or a woman, and the "onions" part is a 4chan wordfilter from the kind of bean edamame is made out of that's been around for a while. That comment wasn't implying that you stink, it was just schizo gender mumbling.

Don't know about the "smelly" comments. Probably some stupid reaction to freckles for the first one, and then the rest bandwagoned.

>>6148790
you have hands like a girl

>>6149153
Like I said you have to have the experience to be able to draw the stuff first. That means many modest attempts at different scenes and trying to convey messages. I've you can do that I would say inspiration is probably part of what you're talking about. For instance, the easiest way for me to picture a scene is to listen to music. My mind will literally imagine a whole gay scene play out like a movie when I listen to certain songs. You have to find what moves you in that way so you can share your imagination

>>6149153
Stay off the internet for 3 hours, do nothing, let your brain drift off, thumbnail that, get refs, finish the art. Retarded zoomers should kill themselves

>>6149273
why would an artist with 400k+ followers promote himself on board with 500 users

>>6148756
it's just talent
no need to put in actual effort, no need to sweat when you simply had it in
just draw

>Whats the trick?
Instead of drawing anime girls staring in the void, tell a story. This guy draws characters reacting to the world around them so it feels more lively.

>>6149592
>"Money isn't everything"
So naive.

>>6149592
It's just takes a crazy amount of time to get good
And while you're not good, you make crappy drawings, you're not having fun
There are better hobbies

>>6149601
I'm already somewhat gud. I'm someone else, anon. I'm not Chuck Tingle 2.

>>6149530
>>6149535
Looking back at it and other anon's post, I wish I could delete my post now and make another.

But yeah it seems like your wife is toxic and needs therapy. Hopefully it works out, I know that my lover writes smut and draws nsfw for money and I often try to get him to send it to me first. Since we're both artists I can give him insight when he asks me for some.

I'm also his biggest fan so that helps too.

>>6149604
We've been together over ten years and that was our biggest ever fight. I'm not saying she's perfect, she's worked through a lot of things. I don't think I would say that she's toxic because of how she reacted when she found out that I'd been secretly writing and selling erotic novels (with a female pen name) whenever she left the house to work.

>>6149603
I would say I'm not bad.
>>6149601
If you don't enjoy the process and enjoy the satisfaction of improving at a skill, then what's the point? You'll never be a master no matter how hard you try, so if you can't enjoy the grind, then you'll always be miserable.

>>6148701
Face and head construction is fairly easy. Drawing hands, on the other hand, is like drawing an entire figure in itself. It's like you've got two figure drawings attached to the arms if your figure drawing. Drawing and foreshortening all those finicky, closely packed little limbs is a pain in the ass. It's probably the most complex mechanical construction in the body that you have to deal with on a constant basis.

>>6148841
>draws horses because human limbs are difficult :)

>euh hants and feet so hard to draw I'll stick with me hoofs

>>6148701
You can symbol draw a head and get away with it. Hands and feet will look wrong if you half-ass them.

>>6148662
feet makes more money.

>>6148662
yeah because you can just draw a hand that then draws everything else

>>6149185
You just described academicism.

>>6149357
The works he is known for are already modernist fine art.
Fine art just means art that is not for other purposes like commercial arts, applied arts, and decorative arts.

>>6149389
Not at all retard

>>6149434
I'm not too aware of the differences: in France, we basically have "musées des Beaux-Arts" (~fine art) and "musées d'art contemporain" (modern abstract random stuff)

There are per-period museums, but, as far as my small experience goes, essentially, the split is between old realist stuff and modern random stuff.

>>6149185
I have just read about this talentless mf and he took all the steps to assure that his drawing process would be the most painfull and chore est possible
