you could always do better

only when you do it because it looks like shit

>>6679754
You actually draw when you are drawing from nothing.

>>6679754
why do you retards think only in black or white. Sucessful artists, specially the chinky ones that you want to emulate, do both.

>>6679749
no

>>6679749
any addiction will cause issues for artists. In fact, any addiction will cause issues for any pursuit that requires lots of work. This is quite a stupid question

>>6679749
All that time spent working at a mindless job, videoGAYming, watching Television and even meditating wastes all your time that could've been spent mastering a craft, a trade or a self employed job! So yes the videogames wasted every youths time, money and resources for a fart in the wind (((Achievement))). They're better things to do.

/wlsg/ is already sounding like a prebeg haven

do another in 1 year

>>6679652
I will. My next piece won't have highlights that look like splooge, hopefully. It's in the notes for next time.

>>6679651
I see some improvement. Although in my opinion a lot of it looks traced. Tracing is fine if you're brand new though, since you get to see the contours of the body up close that you'd usually not see upon first glance. For now I would work on values and poses :) keep going anon!

>>6679702
Yep, it's mostly tracing :). I've found that if I do something on paper, I can kind of visualize what it might look like traced, so in my way I'm sort of "burning in" that shapes to see them more naturally on the page. Thanks for the tip!

Get a stick and a vine, place the stick into the centre of where you want your circle to be, now hold on to the vine and use the stick as a pivot to create your circle. Hope this helps jungle buddy.

>>6679600
trace a sand dollar

>>6679576
You don't need a perfect circle to draw other forms. Being able to draw a good circle helps, but if you only allow yourself to progress in your illustration after your basic forms are perfect, you won't get anywhere.

You stole my art! I was working on this battle page for my Circles manga, and now I see someone stole my character idea.

Now I have to rethink everything.

AKA: Be careful with circle practice because it can turn into a grind.

Try skateboarding, it's a full body workout. Take supps such as l-theanine, you can also take l-tyrosine but that will increase blood pressure.

>37 grams of sugar per each Redbull
Jesus fucking Christ anon how are you not diabetic? I chug Monster Zeroes occasionally but how does the sugar not make you sick?
>Improving fast
You can't really grind art like in an MMO anon, it's more like weightlifting. You put in the time at the gym (drawing) and the recovery eating (reading, studies) and the most important part is time. Your brain can only learn so fast
But seriously fix your diet that is probably fucking you up more than anything else

>>6679615
I'll repeat myself once more: make a habit of eating well, sleeping well, and exercising. This is NOT a a short-term issue that you can solve with some potion/secret exercise. You MUST play long-term if you want to get better.

Feel free not to believe me, but do yourself a favor: setup an alarm in a few months to recall what I've just told you. If, as I expect, you haven't made much progress, perhaps you'd be more inclined to try it the other way then.

All drugs take back whatever they'll give; it's well-known for caffeine (I've heard many people talking about sleeping better and are more energized after stopping heavy coffee consumption, but you need to give your body time to adjust).

>>6679518
>chugs stimulants
>wonders why has adhd
Quit thinking you know more than everyone else and listen to >>6679642 and wean off of unhealthy stimulants/meds. Adopt healthier eating/sleeping habits. Give your body time to adjust to new sleep schedule/exercise/diet. Alternatively, continue suffering. Your choice.

>>6679518
>Has ADHD
>Is not hyperfocused on art
Literally not gonna make it.
The whole point of being an artist with ADHD is for you to not be able to do anything but draw, if you're forcing yourself to do it, then you won't ever do it enough to actually get good.
Check your priorities, they're very clear with ADHD, either you want to do something or you don't.

>>6679460
It's the CIA control public opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

>>6679460
Just to let you know:
People didn't shit on anime for its art style
People shat on it because of its childish, immature, and outlandishly perverted content.
The fanbase that consists of basement dwellers only cemented the stereotype

The reason why anime is not hated now is simply because western content became unbearable. People wanted something to replace their entertainment needs

If Western entertainment never fell, anime would continue to be hated by the entire world

>>6679574
Open question here, why do you think the Wests art has degraded so much? Is there a non-political reason for it? Was it our modern art movement?

>>6679586
Western art is realism, it cannot "degrade"
Quality may drop and stuff but over all, the ones you call degraded are the Calarts and tumblr shit

>>6679586
20th century onwards, there was a oush for more abstract and less direct representational art, even stuff like Impressionisma and even cubism after a while were still too old school. It didn't help that after WW2 Soviet state realism was the thing over in the Warsaw pact countries so the western governments saw a rise in abstract art as a countermeasure, to try to argue that they let any kind of expression fly. Since then, there has been a slow death in terms of ignoring the study of fundamentals in favor of "do fucking whatever"-isms and a push towards simpler and simpler art styles for quick replication and commercialization (i.e., CalArts style). Add in the incessant need of newer-age artists to preach (and not just in an obvious manner like the Xmen, but in a ridiculously patronizing way now), and we arrive where we are today.

First time drawing loli
Started drawing this but ran out of horniness before I could finish it
Plus no motivation at all for drawing the dude

Pretty good but you made the lower half the torso too short, particularly when you compare it to the length of the arms. A good measure would be the ribcage ending about where the elbows are and the crotch area at about the point where the wrists would be, if one had their arms down that is.

>>6679555
Thanks, yeah I thought it looked weird but I coudn't put my finger on it

>Damn was it that lewd? Am I gonna be vanned?
You put it up on litterbox, which has a time limit from 1 hour to 3 days, you must have left it at the default which is one hour.
If you want something permanent you can always try catbox instead.

>>6679313
How could we possibly
>truthfully
know this?
More than none but less than you're probably assuming. Many backgrounds are just blocks + props. The main difficulty is simply thinking of what to decorate the scene with, and the time-consuming nature of rendering environments. Tracing helps with neither of these issues.

You can obviously set up a tutoring business if you want to? I am not sure the question here.Are you asking if you are qualified or what?

>>6679210
Instead of asking us, why don’t you just try teaching? Start a youtube channel and give it your best shot. See the reception you get, ask your viewers what they want and keep teaching.

We cannot tell you if you’re good at it or not because teaching is a never ending loop of discovery. Once you teach and someone asks questions, you find more things you didn’t think about and have to figure out the best way to convey the answer.

>>6679228
>I am not sure the question here.Are you asking if you are qualified or what?

Mainly just questioning if Teaching is an alternative career choice for failed artist like me. I never really heard of an art teacher that can't draw.

>>6679270
You don't really have to be able to draw you just have to convince other people you can. Granted if your art sucks it will be a lot harder to attract students to you. The good thing about tutoring though is that it's got virtually no upstart costs so if you want to start you could start advertising your services today.

Also if you want a salaried position you need the actual degrees unless you are going into children's art classes which is essentially more child care than art.

looks like a filter

You felt the need to ask therefore ngmi

an ai thread died for this

Protected sex is good and all but it's not gonna make you a better artist

>>6679198
>using condoms while drawing
Do yuropoors really...?

>>6679198
If you have a SOVL, that's enough to make it. Now grab that sketchbook and draw, draw and draw, hands, feet, horses, cats, boxes, do the basic shapes, don't do details. Fill the book. Start another.
Don't spend money on any other materials, or books.
Save money for good tech essentials, a good pc, a couple of screens, a good tablet.
Have fun.

Being bad at something is the first step to being kind of ok at something. You can do it.

I was trying to get it published.

I regret making the setting a farm. How many fucking chickens do I have to draw in the background

>>6679572
none if you make it a cabbage farm

>>6679188
That’s why I made my comic setting a castle in space. I know I can draw castles and space is just stars so… the rest is gravy. Play to your strengths, don’t fight yourself. Life is hard enough.

>>6679188
I look up references and perform studies to learn how certain things look like as a matter or routine.
I looked up F4 Phantom and did 2 drawings relating to it, and also F22 and F21 to familiarized myself with typical stealth plane's shapes. impromptu studies and learning things on the fly is something you should get use to.

>>6679168
After enough practice, it starts to kind of appear in your mind, yes. Not that I'm anywhere near to be considered a pro.

draw more

>>6679168
Lamenting and labeling yourself by your skill level will snuff your motivation, won't it?
