>None of this is fun at all.
Then fucking stop. Why the fuck are you learning this retarded skill? Go be a plumber or a welder or some shit if you're going to put all your time into a skill you have no passion for. At least you can make money off those.

I would never ever waste a second on drawing if I didn't absolutely love it.

Anon, I have the exact same compulsion to draw that I do too watch porn. Sometimes I don't even want to do it, but i can't help myself. It's getting in the way of my job, relationships, and heath. If you don't have that, for the love of god, fucking stop torturing yourself.

my problem is that im drawing for fun and not enough studies to learn, and so i make the same mistakes again and again. in my last sketch i saw that i made the girl's torso too short in the initial sketch but i was having fun and i was in the zone so i just kept going with it. but this sketch was in 5 point perspective. so you have to get proportion right in the sketch because you cant fix that at the end without pulling it out of perspective or just completely redoing it.

And yet i just do it anyway. fucking insatiable inferior limbic system. and then i spent three more days rendering it, and in the end, the background looks nice and the girl looks like a well rendered midget.

i do the same thing with composition. thats something you have to nail in step 1. loosely sketch something out in the right spot on your canvas before anything else, before you even place vanishing points, before anything.

intellectually i know that and yet... i never do. at least i have stopped giving people advice. that's the best thing i have done on ic, is stopped giving people my bad advice that i don't even follow.
