this one works better with the context from its sister images. surprised theres better creepy images threads in /ic/ as opposed to /x/

some of the genuinely creepier drawings/images I've seen combine essential, universal fears. >>4766006 for example combines fear of darkness (from water depth), fear of large things (face), ambiguity (face implies a giant body underneath, though it's not shown), general discomfort (eyes of abnormal proportions, facial expression), vulnerability (boat lads are probably fucked). you can break down any creepy image to the bare elements that make it creepy. likewise, you can build a drawing up from the core elements which would best evoke the types of fears you wish.

You sound like me like me before I went to gnomon, my advice, get these 3 books and do them daily/weekly in conjunction with draw a box.

1 how to draw Scott robertson
2 how to render Scott as well
3 Simplyfying perspective by Bob Pastrana

Number 3 is VERY Good, Bob is a great guy and most importantly a great teacher.

After you finish these 3 you can supplement your weaknesses buy buying books that relate (anatomy, animation, color theory whatever).

Always challenge yourself, but don't burn yourself, if you start hating art it defeats the purpose of doing it.

Don't push those close to you away for a shitty career, there is no honor in the (professional) art industry, people won't value you for your great skill or personality/loyalty, the second you are not profitable they will throw you out like a stray dog, your family won't.
