The biggest meme, and 100% the reason why everyone here is stuck without fast progress is because you're a bunch of losers that don't try to find an art teacher or mentor.

Yes, find a fucking good art school with realistic clasical teachers if you're in europe or america, specially one of those art renewal center ateliers or those russian or italian classical ateliers.

Or try to find the best local art school, and always ask to see the students portfolio and see if they teach life drawing and life anatomy and classical techniques.

And yes, I know a lot of art schools are a scam, that's why I said, check the graduates portfolio, fucking retard.

If you can't find a local art teacher that actually isn't garbage, and you're a richfag, pay for an elite art online school like gnomon workshop.

If you're still a fucking poorfag, get some local art friend who you see has strong realistic skills, 100% sure there's always, always some good skilled guy, even in turd world shitholes.
And fucking pay him to mentor you.

Hell, if you're in the middle of nowhere, pay a fucking twitter artist the money to be your mentor.

Think of your art teacher, like a gym trainer, he will be the one that will guide you, and you need to pay him for his time and effort.
You're paying a fucking sport trainer, he knows more than you and will help you train faster and improve faster.

But YOU NEED also to fucking put the fucking effort.
The best gym trainer is useless even if you have first world gear, without YOU putting the fucking effort and doing the workouts on the machines.

This is an advice from someone that spend more than a decade because he got the self taught kool aid.

Self teaching is a fucking meme.

I only improved now fast because I eventually learned also how the brain actually learns and learned also fast skill acquisition and other education BS and even tricks from fitness.

But my biggest waste of time was not paying for some private teacher.

that's what it is anon. just drawing. mindlessly or focused, it's all one big 'just draw.' open up your eyes anon.

Was Japan lolicon always children? I'm certain 10 years ago before America knew about it, it was basically chibi characters, young adult body + big youngish head. As time went and America took in the lolicon meaning, it seamed to change to toddler/6-8 year old body type or something. Did America change the meaning because they are hard at understanding cultural concepts or what?
