> It gets worst when they literally start to search for any excuse like "oh is because their brushes have this very specific form/shape", "my tablet is entry level", "listen they use photoshop and that software is for autists"

same thing for all hobbies or skills in general. a lot of trad artists annoyed kim jung gi about what exact brush pen he uses and he was like "iunno, it's this one", and a bunch go to great lengths to track down the exact pencils drawtards on instagram use. it's the cope of wanting to buy your way to a skill, thinking that better tools will mean you'll need less practice

kind of sad

Literally all books/ methods have been called /beg/traps by some filtered retard. There are no /beg/traps, only retardos.

No, I am the uncle. I am adopting my infant nephew (under 1yr old).

I am looking into the gov bennies that might help. IDK if I qualify for subsidized daycare though because I am considered a part time worker. I have a W2 part time job with a company, and then I fuck around and do art for the rest of the day. I don't qualify for food stamps even with a kid because my savings are too high.

Also what's fucked is that with a kid I can only make up to like $3600/month until they cut off daycare subsidies, but the second you go a dollar over, suddenly it's all on you and part time daycare is like $2000/month. I live in a HCOL city.

>freelance career and prepare to beg to shit indie comic writers for paid gigs on FB or Reddit

I write my own online comic but I am still new. I am trying to carve out a niche for myself and make a product that nobody else can come up with. But I can definitely use better art skills.

I'm one step from becoming the wojak on the right. I have the tools yet can't stand looking at the toddler shit I produce. I can't do anything I wasn't already doing with my mouse over the shitty tablet. How the fuck do people improve? I don't fucking get it.
>just draw bro
I am. This shit doesn't flow like osmosis. I have to put a conscious effort towards improving but I'm not and it's the most frustrating shit ever.

I read through this thread and even searched out advice in the archive and found some from tableguy, about just drawing whatever you want, but I've tried and can't manage it since what I draw looks like utter shit and I hate it, and the fundies grind to get to that point is sapping my spirit
I know it's a bad idea to look at other people's art and feel dismayed, but it genuinely feels like what I desire is impossibly out of reach. I feel like if I'm struggling with motivation at the early stages of Brent's course, I'll undoubtedly get filtered later down the road once things become even more challenging and grind-necessary
fundamentally I just want pretty pictures without putting in the work. that's the honest truth. either that, or a rock solid guarantee that if I stick with the grind I WILL get to where I want to be, but that's obviously impossible to know

It sounds more like you're depressed than just frustrated because you can't draw what you want.
Maybe try a hobby that doesn't take years to start being fun on the side, to keep yourself at the base level of happiness you need to draw absolute shit for three hours every now and then and feel it's pointless until it the day it doesn't. Like martial arts, hiking or something.
I'm about in the same situation as you except I still intend to get a STEM job and if drawing was the only thing I did for fun I'd have necked myself already.

As for the art part, maybe start with something simpler. get Keys to drawing and some simple anatomy book like Hampton's from libgen. Drawing random shit on your desk and cubes isn't as fun as that giant golem thing but that will keep you sane long enough to get there.

>when you were a beginner?
never made it, never will, never quitting either


>how the fuck did you have the free time
You can actually get a lot of free time when you cut stuff like playing vidya, watching TV, and get a healthy enough lifestyle to get by with 7 hours of sleep instead of 9. It's like taking evening martial arts lessons, the ones for adults end at 10PM, you're home at 11, eat half a sandwich and pass out on your bed because you just spent two hours getting thrown everywhere, but after a month you stop giving a shit about the pain and hunger and just do it.

I want to work in AI, in face recognition or something.
Drawing is just something that keeps the depression in check.

No, I'm understanding how it works, I copy the images because I need to practice anyway.

I do
>quick stick figure for pose and approximate proportions
>basic forms, fix proportions while i'm at it
>mark where clothes are with arrows outside the picture
>actually start drawing shit

and draw everything except the last one with a 2H pencil held with the weakest grip my soi latte hands are capable of, so it erases when you just look at it menacingly.

Or at least I did before going digital thinking I'd save a ton of money on colored pencils in the long run.

Let's hash this out once and for all, what is the right thing to do if you want to succeed as an artist here?
