Stop *smack* fucking *smack* posting *smack smack* gay ass frog memes *SMACK* on my glorious board *smack* in 2019.

>>3744874
why does people hate the frog again?

Post ANYONE that has had a significant improvement that doesn't "draw everday" or close to it.

>>3744909
Did you even read my post anon, I'm not against drawing everyday

>>3744869
My new years resolution was to draw everyday in 2018. For the first 6-7 months I did the "30mins on a sketch" faggotry and improved very little. The rest of the year I started putting in the effort every day and actually focusing and I started improving more + enjoying it more. I'm gonna keep going and IGMI and you all will too. :)

>>3744921
Anon ,can you please tell me what you did? I'm a bit better than the average person at drawing but all this loomis stuff is super confusing for me. Thanks and happy new year

Fuck. Off. With. The. Fucking. Shitty. Frog. Memes. In. 20. 19. You. Fucks.

>>3744869
What is your definition of "hard work"?

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION IS TO GET A FINE ARTS GF TO CALL MY WORK IMMATURE AND LACKING SUBSTANCE WHILE VIOLENTLY PEGGING ME UNTIL I HANDLESSLY EJACULATE

>>3744963
ikr ffaaaaaaaaaaakkk

>>3744964
I can jog 20 minutes a day everyday and not try for more. Or I could challenge myself every jog I do and strive for a longer time. At one point I could do a marathon because i kept challenging myself, but I won't do a marathon if I only jog 20 mins a day

>>3744970
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK I REALLY WANT A GF

>>3744964
Dedicating majority of spare Time to art with a daily schedule planned out so you don't waste time.

>>3744978
What if I only have 30 minutes of spare time a day

>>3744979
Don't be lazy and mindlessly draw something for 30 minutes, try to fix mistakes everyday

>>3744972
Alright, i'll get what you'r saying, but it's not that simple to extrapolate that jog example to the art develop. First you need clear objerives, in long and short time. Otherwise you still going in to darkness.

My new year's resolution is to get so ridiculously good in a year that even I won't be able to believe it.

>>3744979
Then your just gonna improve your hand dexterity and not really learn much.

>>3744970

>>3744869
Then what the fuck am I supposed to do?

>listen to advice from some random anon>>3744869
>or listen to advice from craig mullins? >>3745617

hmm

>>3745726
Op is saying you should spend more than 30 mins a day drawing, Craig Mullen is reaffirming what op said and is also implying the most important of the drawing phase is the foundation of the drawing and the mapping of the shadows. As in why waste time rendering when the end result is going to be awful since you didn't take that extra time fixing your initial mistakes.

>>3745726
where did craig mullins say he did 1 30 min sketch a day anon?

>>3745617
>>3745739
>>3745753
This is craig mullins??? are you sure

>>3745726
it's like you didn't read my post or even "craig mullins" post. Keep trying to find every excuse you can to be the laziest mother fucker ever I don't give a shit but in 3 years if you complain about "/ic/ i've been drawing for years but im still /beg/" fucking off yourself. you're literally doing this to yourself, don't blame other people or your own retarded brain when you come to the realization.

>>3745754
yes spooge demon is craig mullins

>>3745769
post work

>>3745804
what would anything do if I posted work? How would my message or craig mullins message change at all? Stop being in denial you fucking autist

>>3745810
nothing its just i bet i am better than you

>>3745811
literally you're just another /beg/ poster if you're trying to find any excuse to be lazy.

>>3744869
good post

i thought id give up on drawing but why should i? its a skill like any other, and ive already come so far. Honestly I did think I should just stop if drawing caused me so much grief, but in the last year I adopted some more mature takes on life and my role in it. In that sense 2018 was pretty good to me. So I do think I am at least refreshed to try again, with a less 'do or die' mindset.

It's pretty funny actually. I used to think it was so fucking critical for me to do certain things and not do certain things, as if I was preserving my own personality and integrity. But life ended up breaking me anyways - which is another thing I never thought I'd understand, because I used to think all those people who admitted life broke them had fucked up somewhere.
Nope. It just happens to you. Just as sure as time passing, life does break everyone.

I'll try to draw a little more practically and confidently this year.

>>3745812
im too good to be posting in /beg/

>>3745817
that's not really an achievement

>>3745754
>It is 1.7 mb, so be prepared.
ah, the good old times...

>>3745801
oh ok, i’m stupid then

>>3745769
I mean craig mullins did say the opposite of what you posted. Anyway, different things work for different people, I’m fine with 30 minutes per day since I’m really busy anyway and I’m not looking to go pro in a year or whatever. chill out anon

>>3745842
>I mean craig mullins did say the opposite of what you posted.
When did he say he drew 30 minutes a day anon. he warmed up with 30 minute sketches and he probably did multiple before actually drawing.

>>3744869
Most of this board can't even draw for 30 minutes a week. (it's even worse for normies.) /las/ is about starting down the path to drawing with DISCIPLINE. it's about drawing every day, whether you feel like it or not. it's the most important step to improving- which is: TO ACTUALLY DRAW.

I started at 30m/day. And it was hard. It was the bare minimum and I struggled to do even that much. But over the year, I graduated to 1 hour day, 2 hours, 3, ect. I drew for 8 hours yesterday: (2 hrs of anatomy/hair studies + 2 hrs of comic work + 4 hrs of free draw).
And yeah, sometimes I can still only get out a 30 minute doodle in a day- but at least I've drawn something. I'm keeping those art muscles active.

again, it's the starting point. of course you're not supposed to stay at 30min/day forever. those who are serious about their art will push themselves. they don't need (you) to tell them.

i bet you haven't/won't draw anything today.

>>3744963
where the fuck do you think you are?
NORMIES. GET. OUT. REEEEEEEE

>>3745867
hey anon can you show me an /dad/ gallery where the first post and the last post has a noticeable improvement?

>>3745876
you've missed the entire point of my post, but ok.
https://dad.gallery/submissions/22547
i've had my eye on j, because he seems to have that drive to improve. the s p a r k.

to address the point you're so zeroed in on: this is generally how improvement works. [pic related]

>>3745894
hey im actually reading this book too right now

>>3745894
anon, you understand that the TIME is not years of how long you've been doing art. TIME is how many hours you've actually done art. So when I say, spend more time on your work your graph literally agrees with me

>>3745904
>las encourages you to draw more
>"nuh uh, MY point was to draw more"

pick one, anon

Judging from his embarassing use of "smack", it seems to stem from a severe case of autism.

>>3745846
He said he learned by doing 30 minute sketches, he didn’t say they were warmups. It is very probable that he did more than one of them a day but so what? If anons did one of those a day they would surely improve too, just not as fast as mullins did.

>>3745867
not everyone is a NEET. I’m lucky if i can get an hour in on a weekday.

>>3746127
>I’m lucky if i can get an hour in on a weekday
Good on ya man

>>3746127
>not everyone is a NEET. I’m lucky if i can get an hour in on a weekday.
being a neet has nothing to do with being productive. you have the time but it doesnt mean you would actually put it into drawing, why does everyone think beinga neet automatically thinks youre going to put in all time to drawing lol. keep making excuses you wageslaves.

If I could get back the 4 years of neetdom that I had I wouldn't even try drawing but just watch anime nonstop to absorb as much media as possible. God knows NEETs are lazy shits who dwell on the future ahead of them instead of the present so they can actually get stuff done.

>>3746127
If you can't find more than 30 mins a day to draw then you're either bad at time management or overwork yourself/ have a family. Think for sec that 1 hr is twice as long as 30 mins. Drawing for 30 mins doesn't do anything for you and drawing for an hour is only slightly better. By the time you warm up your hand and get into a mindset which is productive for learning and drawing your time is gonna be up. You could barely even study for thirty minutes and retain any of the knowledge. Depending on how seriously you want to take your art then your gonna have to reevaluate your time and life choices. As far as it goes right now, 30 mins will get you basically nowhere in art when it takes masters to study intensely for 5-10 years to get to where they could be a professional.

>>3746127
>you're lucky if you get an hour on a weekday
why the fuck do I see your ID on here so often if you're strapped for time

>>3746207

>>3746244
because it's break. I get back to school starting tomorrow, and I'll probably be gone for the next 3 weeks, then i have another break in January

Just spoonfeed me what to do and I'll do it, I have all the free time in the world

>>3746349
Drawing isn't a video game. You either draw and apply or stay stuck. Just draw.
