Why are teens so age obsessed? Either you're good or you're not.

>>3698891
its to see how you hold up to against people from different ages

>>3698914
that's pretty immature anon. People start at all different times in their life and it's not like age really plays that much of a factor in how good you are

>>3698862
that's good stuff anon

>>3698862
Great job with the expression.

are you browsing the archives and just stealing peoples work?

>>3699012
It’s rare but it happens. I lose steam after the idea I had in my head gets conveyed, and rendering only feels worth it on the focal points

I am in my early forties.

>>3699015
This is all I have saved on my phone
>>3699070
I posted one of the drawings but I’m not the guy who’s been spamming threads

>>3699133
bro, you haven't made any new art in 18 months? what are you doing?

>>3698862
WHO IS SHE

>>3699137
I’ve drawn a lot of stuff I just haven’t added it

>>3699034
Comfy stuff, fellow boomer

>>3698998
Aside from Joel Jurion, do you have any other artistic inspiration? I've always been a fan, good stuff anon.

>>3699283
>fellow boomer
That's an incorrect classification, Mme.

>26
I never draw

>>3699408

looks great anon.

you probably used to draw a lot i assume.

>>3699421
Thank you, anon.
only traditional media, I was too poor for a PC growing up, and tablets weren't a thing. Trying to learn that now is making me consider taking a dull bullet instead :)

I think age factors in very little with abilities.

Everybody learns at a different inevitable pace. Ive seen people with talent at a young age, and people with no talent catch up and exceed beyond.

Cool thread.i like this idea.

>everyone so young and so great already...
FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU ALL!

>>3699491
But I've been drawing forever anon. If I'm not at least decent by my 20s, something's up.

>>3698974
you got a custom brush set anon? or you using default chalk?

>>3699497
You still have objectively far more time ahead of you than me. Fuck I think I should stop coming to this site I feel like a friggin' mummy at this point.

>>3698930
Tracer boi, you came back?
No dignity

>>3699512
Prove he traces, stop making baseless claims.

>>3698891

Watch what happens when you're in your 30's.

I'm 36 and I know for a fact I should kill myself. This thread proves it.

Which is fine. No one comes to 4chan without looking for someone, somehow telling them to kill themselves.

>>3699521
What happens in your 30s??

>>3699525
you lose your ligameme and brain plasticity

>>3699525
You suddenly realize the best part of your life is long gone and everything will only go to shit from there. Your health will go worse, your general appreciation for new things will wane, you will get more and more detached from the world around you, the world expectations for you star to mount to levels you never experienced before. You start to feel bad for not doing the things you should have done were you the wiser 10 years earlier, the days seem to pass by faster and faster. People you know also grow older and uglier, some even die, your start loose your parents and relatives due to death and generally you just come to realize you have no future, the next generation will outcompete you for both consumer tastes and ability, you have nothing to look forward to and you are helpless to do anything about it.

Believe me Anon, age is a cruel cruel reality...

>>3699528
just use reference. assuming you've built up enough memory in your fingers to draw or paint.

>>3699539
>assuming you've built up enough memory in your figures to draw or paint.
i just told you i lost my ligameme

>>3699538
you sound depressed anon.

life isn't that bad, just excersise and eat healthy. it helps curb mental stigma. 30's is nothing.

unless you got early diagnosis of dimentia. you can still get good. just use reference and do it everyday.

look at james gurney that dude is old and is incredible. he is very healthy and lives a balanced life style.

>>3699512
Stop bullying me.

I think I was 33 or 34 when I painted it.

>>3699582
You used the warp tool, your tracing skills are advancing. Congrats

>>3699582
>>3699622

used a filter?

>>3699498
I use the Shale Brush setting in Procreate

>>3699622
What a great comeback! Stop being an insecure crab. I wish you all the best on your own art journey!

>>3699627
This doesn’t really make sense, but I did colour pick a lot of it. It’s a weakness that I’m trying to work on and have cut down by quite a bit.

>>3699650

>doesn't make sense

anon do u not know how to use filters in photoshop?

>assuming u used ps

>>3699688
I said it doesn’t make sense (to think that) because that’s not typically how filters work/look after applying one. Nor would it change the placement of the features/shapes/etc. I thought they assumed I used a filter because of the general colour accuracy.

>>3698931
>>3698862
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH GODDAMMIT IM SO LONELY AND HORNY BE MY GF BE MY GF BE MY GF

>>3699697

>>3699696

this is a filter i used palette brush. its not exactly the same but its fairly close.

I turn 30 next month, is it too late to start on art?

>>3699726
Did you paint when you were a child?

>>3699726
nope.

start sketching still life. just doodle house hold objects.

>>3699714
Take people calling you a tracer as a compliment. You obviously aren't one.

>>3699738
But i'm already tracer.

>>3699733
Yeah, but I was never any especially good at it.
I suppose some of my clay and paper sculptures were pretty good for a little kid.
When I look back at the drawn art, it's all autismal spaghetti because I wanted to express continuing action with no sense of frames/panels. At that time, each image was one "actor" so I'd just keep erasing and drawing on them.
Other than a little bit of room painting and dying to make my house more interesting, I haven't done any art since.

>>3699697
I’ll go out with anyone who can draw well

>>3699805

To make things more interesting, how long have you been drawing?

>>3700403
I’m the first one down from the OP.
About 4 years now?

22.
I should be better for my age.

>>3699902
>>3700403
ive been drawing for 4 years but ive only seriously grinded (like 3+ hours a day) for the past year or so.

>>3698974 here
Tbh I can't recall a time when I didn't like to draw. I got a bit more serious before I applied to art college but at the time I already had some sort of skill (used to draw from photos a lot when i was 14-16, results were cringe material but still).
Pic related something i drew at 17 yrs old when preparing for college entry exams

>>3699248
hey I remember the frogy from /alt/ you added more animals!! cuteeeeee

>>3700454
Have you posted before? Your stuff looks familiar. Also blog?

15, still life

>>3700469
i used to post kinda frequently, no blog tho soz

>>3700454
>>3700506
Huh I assumed you were vetyr

18, been at it for 2+ years.
Has anyone here gone through a rigorous non-art related degree, such as medicine? Starting to care more about art, and I am worried if I can still achieve my goal skill level given limited time per day.

>>3699477
I really hope this is true.

24, started when I was 22. Struggling with perspective currently, as you can see.

>>3700633
forgot about mandatory school art classes, so 4+ years

>>3700633
many artists don't get art-related degrees. Im studying C.S atm, it's not as rigorous as a doc school but you have to give up some drawing time, thats for sure.

>>3700440
In surprised no one's talked about this piece yet, it's pretty cool. You got a blog?

>>3698853
21. I'm Tumblr style shite. Can't draw realism for the life of me.

But I'm not too butthurt, since in my case it's only a hobby used to relieve stress.

>>3699507
Don’t be sad old man. If you do things right, you’ll be good within the year.

>>3700403
I drew the fish. Since I was three, but I started more seriously around nine. I wanted to be an animator, or at least an artist for Disney, but that all changed.

>>3700678
that's a relief. i do want to keep my art as something i can do out of enjoyment alone.
Maybe it can work out, since I've been drawing for 1-2 hours a day now and am still seeing progress.
thank you for reminding me about CS as an option, despite my absence of programming background

>>3699538
What >>3699545 said. That's depression. I feel like that at age 24. Everything about being alive, including drawing, just feels like work. This better not get any worse in my 30s.

>>3699491
i know that feel
i just turned 23

>>3700689
Do some life drawing. I find that pretty relaxing as long as I don't get too frustrated. Your "tumbler shite" will improve amazingly fast.

>20

22, don't draw often or as much as I should, also internet addiction/depression fucking sucks

>>3700403
>>3700099
26, 4 years

>>3700633
I did a BS and am working on a PhD in molecular biology. I gave up drawing for the duration of undergrad, picked it up again later in grad school. I think my skill goals have definitely been delayed as a result.

>>3700969
i'm in my late 20's and still learning. getting better.

how much drinking do you do? also smoking weed and drugs fucks up your brain.

i don't believe that you lose ability to learn as you age. you might have to work harder, but you don't just turn into a retarded veggie that stops learning.

>>3700986

i was more referring to your age, but you should work on trying not to symbol draw and make cleaner lines. see you in 2 years

>>3701176

>>3700683
>>3700440
Yeah it's really good.

>18+ board
its a trap!!

tfw I draw better than anyone in this thread and im only 22 years old feels pretty good

>>3701501
18+ site actually.

>>3699644
could u elaborate?

21, time spent on drawing really depends, typically I sit 4-7 hours a day on one drawing for 1-4 days if it is smth fully rendered. Though if I spend more time (week or more) on only one piece, I burn out and just abandon it. Another thing is if I draw without goal in mind then it can be from 30 minutes to whole day.

>>3700403
Since I was born. My father is an outstanding artist so I grew up with it 2bqh.

>>3699815
>>3700403
Ha.... im 26, and ive been drawing since I was about 11. Drew obsessively through middle school. Got more passionate about it during high school, guess I was around 16. Ive just always been drawing. So... 10-17 years, I guess.

>>3700403
OP here, since i was 4 i think, had a break from 14 till 16, which made me feel behind on my peers, but now adays I draw everyday.

>>3699015
this year sucked
>>3700403
drew like crazy but aimlessly in middle school because there was a legit prodigy there, went easy in highschool and then got serious in college after i found this place

I got serious around 16. I'm 19.

I hung around the art kids, so I always felt developmentally stunted lol. This is just a drawing I had up, I'm only gradually working my way into digital, and I don't have a lot of my artwork on my computer. I can show my traditional work if anyone is interested

>>3700958
I'm surprised that you picked up art again during the most extreme part of your education! Does that mean your PhD has also significantly delayed your progression, not just your break?

>>3699525

Only 7 years to reach goodhood

How can I slow down this

>7yo (I'm 18 currently! No ban)
>sry, I know this thread is supposed to be about arts made currently, but due to an extreme lack of time I didn't do anything but sketches in the last few years
I did it in about 30/40 mins in an art class. This isn't supposed to be pretty, it was a portrait of a classmate, and she was kinda ulgy, so the drawing being that ugly is not an error.

>>3702099
it's a self-portrait

>>3702201

I'm pretty sure that's an error.6 also

Out of all the names to chose why that one?

>>3702301
I love you so much
You drew these other yume nikki drawings too right? Tfw same age

>>3702349
yep, thank you anon I love u more 2b honest.
I just find that stuff really interesting to draw

>>3702363
Your art is actually the first I've saved directly to a "/art/series name" folder in all the years I've browsed and posted here. That's how much I like it. I love your choice of colors and the simplicity of it. You really capture the atmosphere of the game.
What program do you use? Do you have a pixiv account so I can follow you?

20

>>3702384
wow anon that is very very flattering... makes me really happy that you like it that much... seriously!

I use photoshop because I like the interface, to give you some extra insight I use pencil brush; shading is usually done in a color burn layer and when i do highlights or lighting I use overlay.

My username on pixiv is pantsu_ripper; I update it periodically; if you want to see more frequent uploads you can find me here too:

ive overworked myself very early on to the point shit has taken a toll on me. i don't mind slow improvement now

>>3702596
I think your style is very interesting but you should try and focus things more, unless this is a wip, in which case its really good so far. Like, the cat's face looks really nice but everything else is too undefined

>>3702301
>>3702349
>>3702363
>>3702384
Ah young love, such a magnificent sight to behold. Truly, I wish you lads the best.

>>3702596
this is a very promising image anon. have you ever tried working w/o opacity? your understanding of light & form are already pretty decent but it's very hard to maintain nice edges when the brush is ghosting everywhere. try making shapes and then painting into them.

>overworked myself very early on to the point shit has taken a toll on me.
i did that too and suffered because of it for a long time. gitting gud doesn't mean as much if you kill yourself in the process

>>3699477
That's nice man. Your colors are too monochrome though. Makes it look cartoony. Try expanding your range of color. Leaves are not just green, the sky is not just one hue of blue, etc.

>>3702634
I messaged him/her on pixiv but he didn't respond. Only followed me back. feels bad man

>>3702696
I don't know how to read messages... I just messaged you back, but I don't see yours uwu

>>3702703
I don't see a message from you either. Usually it'll notify you at the bell and message icons if you get a message. That's so weird.

yep i know my shit. ive been trying to practice more and more, mixing programming and drawing is a very bad idea. Took me an hour to draw that ( i used paint tool sai for that, but now im gonna stick to photoshop. ) what are the things that i should learn to become a good artist? what should i learn aside from loomis?

>27

>>3702638
>>3702629
thanks lads, i am not sure if i would consider that finished though. i somewhat fucked off and refrained from continuing working on it.

who knows, i am currently trying to find a technique and workflow that suits me the best. haven't tried the brush without opacity thing yet

>>3702871
tnx

Based off this particular picture, I think you should consider using more values. Everything is mostly the same saturation and I'd like to see more variance there. Also please note that the arms are too thin. Otherwise, I like the vibe and the color choices that you were goimg for here.

>>3702201
Shit excuse
If it was a brief exercise you wouldn't spend that much time on detailing the bows and shirt straps. Instead, you'd be laying down the proportions and work on making the facial features look like they belong there.
You're just shit, whether your ref is ugly or not

I swear I'm being baited

old as hell, 29. doodling casually since I was maybe 11, but quit around 16yrs old. recently picked it up some months ago and am trying to improve, recently discovered this board, lotta great art you guys got goin on, it's insane

for a school project

16-24 year olds mostly lack self-control and discipline. They have little to no experience in learning and the exceptions to this are the ones who were going to be a competing factor anyways.

Want to be happy and feel a purpose in your life? Get a job challenges you but doesn’t leave you exhausted. Find a partner and immediately attend couples therapy and learn communication. Raise children, Find 2-3 hobbies. One of these can be art. Now you have a lot of legs for your life to stand on.

Working as a freelance artist / with art teaching (28). It sure is great but I lost 7 years of my life, broke off a 6 year relationship with a girlfriend and earned very little money indeed while doing it. Grabbed a BA degree in 3D.
I’d post art but as I’m interviewing for studios and sending out portfolios I need to stay under the /ic/ radar. Love you d/ic/ks.

Yes.
I just finished medical school, and doing interviews now. I stopped for about 8 years and only picked it up again 2 years ago. My skill has improved, but not where they could have been. I’m 28.

tnx anon :)

Age has super minimal impact in art, I'd know because people much younger are much better than me. You don't have to be old to be good, and being old doesn't mean you're good.

And before you slap me with a "it's a matter of how long you've been drawing" then no, bitch. No. I've drawn my whole life, I've drawn since before kindergarten, decades later I still suck. Why? because I never grind my shit, I just take it lightly. Don't be like me, pick up that fucking pencil and start fucking drawing right now, anon.

Fairly loose sketch, but is my most recent thing I've done. Haven't actually gotten around to a finished piece in a while.

>all those youngsters that are way better than me, even the worse ones

Why am I even trying. I hate the fact that I live art so much I feel forced trying to do something with it.

can i take a guess here, you've been drawing a lot since you were a kid, but just recently started to find your style within the past couple of years

Composition, colors, technique...everything is fabulous, but what makes this really amazing is that you can tell there is a lot of love went into it. It is oozing with heart.

This thing's right about 2 years, now that I think about it.

Gave up on trying to make it, but will doodle every now and then.

I'll always have a bitter relationship with art.
