It has been dead since Toy Story 1 aired didn't you notice that nobody has been making 2D animation anymore since 1995? Oh wait...

using her as a proof for anything here is like being a wannabe sculptor and using a 60 year old lady that does clay earrings for fun as an example of "bad learning practice".

this is some random girl that started her channel with creepypastas and is now trying to learn how to draw portraits and her friends from photos or whatever. her learning "path" has 0 things in common with the path of average /ic/ lurker. i went through her channel and afaik she didnt mention she wants to become an illustrator, concept artist etc. her channel header reads: "learning how to draw and proving talent is a myth*". is this is what all of you are trying to achieve on this board? because if it is, you can really save yourself some time and just sign up for some drawing class.

so my message here is that you all should find some people you actually have something in common with and shit on -their- life choices instead of masturbating to the thought of some random kid that got scammed by volen while shes trying to figure out how to draw a "cool" self portrait in her pink sketchbook. how about you shit on MDJ? that dude sure seems to be interested in becoming a concept artist and he's streaming his whole learning path online as well, so how is it going for him? maybe analysing his case will give you more useful ideas than this rando?

PS her video about why she stopped drawabox actually has some very interesting points. https://youtu.be/dFdZwFf4_kU?t=253 4:13 - 4:30 literal words of wisdom from a low level beg

(all of that being said, volen is an idiot and absolute clown, i feel sorry for her, she should just go to some chill drawing class in her area instead of giving this fagget her or her parents' money)

*well, that is a whole other issue on its own. but lets not get into that.

Toot toot! It's me, the retarded 19 year old slave with 50$ art commissions! I came back to continue arguing with adult men about money and living on your own!

You're telling me to cope while you're the one finding 328472387 excuses for not getting a job and doing commissions. Congratulations, you won the golden medal in mental gymnastics paraolympics.
Also this:
>parents mostly deserve it for helping to ruin the economy
This is just whole another level of emotional infancy. Hear him out, anons, this person found the ultimate excuse for his laziness: HIS PARENTS RUINED THE ECONOMY. Yes, he wakes up every day in his childhood bedroom, has 0 money in his bank account and thinks to himself: This is fine, my parents deserve this, they're the reason the proletariat is being exploited by the rich. But wait, it doesnt end here:

He's also very woke. He doesnt let this cruel world monetize his dEpReSsIoN - he just sits at home, writing essays on neoliberalism, while I'm killing myself at my slave job and being used and exploited by the System. My youth is wasted away while this anon prevails. In 40 years I will have to wipe the tears off my face with my hard earned money while he receives the Nobel Prize because he sacrificied his whole life to suffering of the lower class. Truly an inspiring human being.

What is this noise? Is this a buzzing voice of reason in our swamp of nonsense and apathy?

The only autist here is you. We dont care though, you can go on with your pinterest ref studies while the rest of us keeps learning how to design and invent. Idiots like you Always scream "EVERYONE USES REFERENCE RETARDS" while nobody literally nobody is questioning that. Everybody needs refs from time to time we know that. What is the real issue here is being able to design something which ngmis like you will never be able to do and will realize it when youre 30 years old like stan prokopenko, and your whole portfolio will be a strange looking collection of portraits and human figures that dont have anything in common. You will realize you fucked up badly because the only thing you ever did was painting 1:1 photo copies while others were patiently scribbling shit from imagination and actually managed to develop style and ideas that someone is willing to pay for. Saying shit like "drawing from imagination doesnt fucking matter" is the absolute undeniable proof that you're nowhere close getting into any art related industry. good luck fag because theres no hope for your kind, youre truly on the bottom of the hierarchy here
