You retards wouldn't know good art if it hit you in the face. Even if that hack drew all his life his shitty webcomic wouldn't even come close to the skill in Durer

You're alot better than most of the people coming here making threads like this so I believe you have potential and will give you my thoughts, take what you will from it these are just my thoughts.


You are trying to reach KJG's level, not KJG's style, very different things
It's clear that you are inspired by him, I can see the influence in your art but if you continue in this direction you will become a copy of KJG and nobody will respect you for that even if your skills are identical to his.
What you should do is find other artists that inspire you so that you can form a unique style from that.
You don't have to go out of your way to desperately find new artists, you need to experience more of what life has to offer. KJG himself is influenced by many artists but most of all he is influenced by the real world.
In fact all great artists are greatly inspired by the real world, you must experience the real world, that is the secret.

On a more casual note, your lines are not confident like KJG, one thing that sets him apart is his ability to create accurate strokes without construction, you don't have to forgo construction in your art but you should work on your lines. Your lines are scratchy and in many places there are lines that serve no purpose that make the image look messy. Work on this.
A good source for inspiration and knowledge in good linework are etchings. Look at this art and learn how to create clean lines like them. This will take you many years.

Sleeping as little as possible and trying to draw as much as possible is stupid and not at all badass.

Sleeping helps you internalize what you learned during the day and gives you the health and energy you need to work effectively
Judging yourself by how many hours you draw and forcing yourself to draw as much as possible is a surefire way to burn out.

You should aim to maximize the amount of time you can draw and study at the highest possible efficiency. This means getting proper sleep, eating properly, exercising, all things that boost your mental ability.

Sure, FZD pumps out a lot of successful people, but what about the amount of people that drop out. The people that are capable of drawing the amount they do are a minority few and even then, they would probably have been even more successful had they done things in a more productive way.
