/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

A 'style' is your interpretation of the fundamentals of drawing.

I think a big part of determining your style is by defining what it means to make a completed piece of work. What does it mean to you to see something through to completion? At the most extreme level, you can keep developing something until it is in the realm of hyper-realism. For most people though, they don't push things to hyper realism but rather they take shortcuts when interpreting the fundamentals, which is what stylization is.

There's one thing that's really bothered me about /ic/ for a long time: /ic/ has absolute tunnel vision when it comes to making a living with their art (usually illustration).

For people who don't know what to do in that regard: never, ever, ever listen to /ic/ when it comes to career advice. /ic/ is filled with inexperienced amateurs claiming they "know the industry" and giving life advice when they themselves have never had a stream of well paying, steady, commercial work.

If you make a thread asking how to many money from illustration, no one can tell you what to do beyond drawing porn and starting a Patreon. It's either that, or you become a fantasy/sci-fi/concept artist, and you circle jerk around Feng Zhu or Ruan Jia.

>>3063360 has the most realistic expectations on what to get out of this board. It can be a decent place to get some simple quick feedback on your current WIP, but be wary of any career advice you might see here - it's likely being written by someone who has never accomplished anything.

/ic/ PLZ HELP ME

so, recently my mom had an accident (a car accident), we can´t pay the bills because of that. my father died not too long ago
I work and study still, and I want to know if I can win money making furryart/henatiart (because original wouldn´t sell), I draw and I´m bad I know. but I´m not autism bad

do you think I could make extra money like this? do you have any advice I could take? should I take payments in bitcoins? and about prices and all, how to search clientele, what´s hot and shit

if you help this anon and his mom good karma will go your way
I really appreciate your help, any comment good or bad will be taken into account
I´d like to remain anonymous though

thank you very much

Once again - some loser on /ic/ doesn't understand how entrepreneurial a career in art & design is.

>a handful of incredibly lucky individuals who got to where they are through chance and nepotism.

Luck has little to do with it. People get work because they try very hard to get work. Sitting around doing nothing, or occasionally posting on social media sites will get you nowhere.

When will you idiots learn?

Guys I'm looking for old illustrators to complete my reference folder. I need howard pyle, ncwyeth and dean cornwell. If you have any of these please share.
