/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

>1) how many hours are you putting into drawing a day anon?
Now that Inktober is here, I can finally achieve the minimum requirements for being a NGMI!
>2) how many hours do you think you've put in so far in total?
Somewhere between 3 and 5000 hours, I'd wager.
>3) how old are you?
28, drawing since 15, aware of getting better since 21, doing something concrete (although insufficient) about it since 25.
>4) what is your goal?
1 - Current goal is getting good.
2 - Medium term is having an income based on art.
3 - Long term is having an income based on my own stories.

I can already do number 2 if I put some more effort into finding clients and I have enough tools to at least publish my own stories as stated in number 3, though I'd have to build a userbase before it becomes anything serious.

Not sure if I'm in a bad mood or what, but I couldn't read this thread past this >>3847868 post.

Y'all niggers should try and write properly when giving advice, I can't take the words of an illiterate as credible or even serious.
I keep imagining everyone as depressed, low-education Twitter fujoshis.

^ Never Gonna Make It.

I recently had a revelation about life and its meaning. We are only here for ~80 years. Less for some people, more for others.

That's a fucking blink of an eye if you think about it. And at the end, what's there? Nothing.
Not the nothingness of empty space, but Real Nothingness which has no size and no time. That is death (imo). A nothingness so complete, you wouldn't even miss it...for that, you'd have to be there.

If you can picture this Nothingness that awaits you, then What is there to be afraid of?
Errors and embarrassments will be forgotten, but great achievements may not.

We may not have a specific meaning in the cosmic context of the universe. We make our own meaning with each other.
We each have a finite number of days to live and we don't know what that number is.

The reason I make art is not only to put ideas onto paper, or paint an illustration because I thought it was cool. It is to let people see that there is more to life than Essays, Work, Money. I want my art to help open the eyes of some people to realize that we are not eternal, but our legacy is and will be.

My goal is not important. Making art lets me enjoy this brief moment of life just a little more. And if someone else finds solace in my artwork, all the better.

The patience threshold for newcomers on /ic/ is rather low, as you can see above. You're more likely to have positive and polite answers in the Questions thread.

Before asking "what should I read/view/study/learn," consult the Sticky: >>1579290

On perspective, the Sticky advises:
> I recommend "Perspective Made Easy" by Ernest Norling, because of its low treshold.
> You'll go through the book with ease and it's filled with exercises to make sure you keep up with the author.
