Looks comfy and I know the user count is bound to snowball eventually, but I don't have the strength to wait it out and post in a ghost town in the meantime.

Is my attitude shitty or is this common, I can't really tell

at least the duck is funny and shows a lack of skill, the abomination to the left shows that this sad failure could do better, THATs why its unappealing

You're still hung up on that guy? That's pretty pathetic bro, I bet your art isn't any better than his and he probably has aspergers or some shit.

Stop being such a pussy, you're obviously very good for having only drawn one year. You need to practice imagination drawing too, though.

It's pretty obvious for anyone that's any good at observational drawing that OP did not trace those images. Look closely nerds-there are discrepancies everywhere in each of them that wouldn't make sense if they were traced. You kids are betraying your inexperience and proving decisively that you couldn't do what OP is doing at anywhere near his level. You're just projecting your own insecurities at this point.

Not only do I think a tablet general thread is a great idea, I honestly hope there are seven more up by the time I wake up tomorrow morning.

No one pushed harder to allowed tablet discussion on the board than I did (because what the hell would /g/ know), but now that we have it I...I just don't know sometimes.

>so I got a huion 420
>420

DUDE

(You must have been smoking some 420 yourself if you thought buying that was a good idea)

>is this normal?

Actually no, I'm sorry to say but you made a big fucking mistake.

That's a 4x2 signature pad, you goof-and an incredibly overpriced one at that. Return that thing immediately-this is not a drill. Do you really think you're going to be able to draw on that thing? Nigga you ignint.

>it seems to have a magnetic attraction to the tablet itself so that if I'm just hovering over the tablet it's still moving on the screen

Think about it for a second. If the stylus wasn't picked up by the tablet at least a couple centimeters away how the hell would you know where it was going to be on your screen by the time you pressed down on it?

>if someone could recommend me some drawing programs that'd be great.

I'm looking at ten years of wasted opportunity.

I'm both triggered by her ignorance and fearful at the same time.

The article cited doesn't mention his own ill-conceived teaching apparatus at all, you're grasping at straws

>not every art school is $200,000 to attend the way he portrayed them

A lot of art schools are, particularly the ones that would otherwise be worth attending. Even the non-profit atelier where I take classes would be $8,000 a year if I'd not chosen to attend week-by-week, piecemeal. Something like that still represents both a cost and an "opportunity cost" many can't afford.

>i'm sure the one he went to didn't cost that much or anywhere near it.

He attended RISD for a year after getting a $20,000 scholarship and left after still having accrued a sizeable debt

>But the financial realities of staying for another two years were coming to the forefront. Tuition was rising and my scholarship was not. To stay would mean ending up with over $100k in debt. So I left.

>Soon after graduation, I moved back in with my parents. I was doing well enough with freelance work that I could have made it on my own. But I had $40k in student loans that were weighing me down. So I humbled myself and moved back home.

Addendum: the prizes

According to this page

http://faso.com/boldbrush/awards

FASO offers a grand total of $2,750 in actual cash (doled out to 4 artists arbitrarily chosen by whoever runs FASO) and $6,428 worth of "exposure" including-their words-"your artwork featured somewhere on this website for 1 month".

How many paintings are entered into this competition?

The 250 paintings featured on this page represent 15% of the total number of paintings submitted for the month of April of this year.

http://faso.com/boldbrush/fav15/180

With that in mind, FASO supposedly received about 1,665 entries that month; with their entry fee of $14 that represents a total of $23,310 they received in that month, and if that represents a typical month that means that FASO would make about $279,720 in a typical year, while magnanimously rewarding 48 (.17%) of their entrants with a portion of the $33,000 they've allotted to the only people actually creating content for their organization.

Men and women are physically, chemically and psychologically distinct from one another. Two things that are not identical are unequal by definition. Stop being a fucking mangina.
