NGMI thread

It's like you've drawn 5hrs for 3 days. 30 mins of drawing usually a warm-up. Not enough to make ur drawing skill better also to digest what u learn

>>4757288
Ur prolly gonna see much improvement in those 3 days of 5 hours drawing lol. 30 mins can't be even considered grinding

>>4757290
GMI
>>4757291
Not. Gonna. Make. It.

>>4757288
From one of the resources on the side bar of the r/learntodraw subreddit :
"How much time do you have? If drawing is a hobby for you, an hour a day is good enough. If you want to become a professional, you better cram as many studying hours in a day as you can (i.e. treat studying like a job and aim for a daily 6-8 hours). If you study more than 40 hours a week, you can expect to get to a professional level in less than three years. If you want to become a God tier artist, the studying will never end."
If you really want to become an artist leave this shithole and unironically go to r*ddit.

>>4757288
I've faced that problem before anon, I think you should ignore the fact that you are trying to improve and just enjoy drawing. try this video it helped me a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6NsEDwHHiE&list=LLjqNpuzBBnhhcN0YWd-d7BQ&index=3&t=484s

These are the guys saying that talent is real

Everyone overestimates how much they can accomplish in a day. Everyone underestimates how much they can accomplish in a year.

I unironically grinded Vilppu's NMA course for 2 months and made no gains, it do be all about talent

>>4757288
No of course you will not improve drawing 30mins a day for a month. Assuming you never missed a day and was completely focused on drawing for those 30mins(if you were listening to something like music or a podcast you may as divide everything I said by half). You would have 15 hours in art which gives you an average of 180 hours a year a most. There are around 8755 hours in one year so this means you are only 2% of the way through your first art year. If we put this into days you have really only been drawing for the equivalent of less then a day. What you don’t understand is just drawing an 30mins will not give you results. If we assume it takes a year worth of hours to get competent at something it would take you 48 years at the pace you are going. You should be actively be practicing drawing for ideally 5-6 hours a day If you want to see improvement within 5-4 years and no watching a tutorial or reading about drawing doesn’t contribute to this total only the act of drawing does. You're lazy the math proves it.

>>4757288
>30 minutes this month

...total?

>>4757653
Yeah but people want to be good at art NOW
Where's the secret formula to make me a pro in a day? C'mon i need to do my daily 5 hours of wow raids I don't have time to be practicing drawing!

>make major improvements from grinding for 2 hours
Bridgeman is good help
I'm at the point where I once was before I stopped drawing several months ago but I have to keep doing it or else I'll fall again

>>4758578

>>4757315

It has to be talent from the start bros...what the actual fuck...

>>4758252
it speaks to me, nice

Gr8 thread

>>4757304
Fucking talent, right guys? The talented only need a few minutes a year to get god tier.

Shits rigged.

>>4757303
leddit is where you go to get ur ego stroked anon. even if there are nuggets of wisdom entrenched in the subreddit sidebar/wiki the rest of the website is still a cesspool. better off just reading good books about art instead of soliciting advice from internet crustaceans

>>4757288
Were you having fun at least

>>4761247
>>4757303
The best way to improve is to not be on 4chan or reddit in general. Fucking get your resources you need and just draw. The good thing about being a beginner is that you can improve steadly as long as you aren't retarted and can compare your art work in a positive manner to pro artists. You can basically self critique your art to hell to improve.
If you leave beginner then go to a pro artist's discord and let them critque your art. Or you can take a art class, sign up for mentorship, etc.
Use your head bois

I kneel gains goblin

>tfw I have to put 5 lines on the paper by the end of next month

>grinded drawing for 120+ hours this month
>no visible improvement
I wish I was being ironic. Talent is everything.

>>4761550
pyw 1 month ago and now

>>4757290
U wot, that’s insane. I’d kill myself if I couldn’t draw for more than 5d

>>4757367
give me the promt ill writ it for you in 5 mins

>>4761550
no its not.

>>4757303

tfw grinded 10 hours a day for two years

no visible improvement

>>4761552
I'm kind of embarrassed to post any of my finished pieces because they are all weird coomer fetish shit so here are some figure studies. I hardly drew at all last month so this is basically all I have from then to compare.

>>4761566
can you help me as well >>4757370

>>4761550
pyw phagg

>>4761615
I did
>>4761600

>>4761600
there is significant improvement in proportions and some clear understanding of some anatomy
the other both wow thats fucking bad so yes you literally did improve

>>4761600
Not OP, but you just need more mileage. You should have stacks of these figure sketches after a month. Maybe 15 pages a day of quick figures a day. It should just pour out of you.

Find cool stuff that u like and draw it. Anime poses, porn, figure drawing class etc.

Draw in pen, you won’t waste time erasing, and your strokes will be more deliberate.

Keep it up, you are on the cusp of cashing in your gains. When you need motivation look back to your week 1 drawings

>>4757288
Might has well just give up

>>4758252
Very nice.
Saved and added to reaction folder.

>>4761600
I see obvious improvement. Hell, I even think the right drawings are very beautiful.

>>4757288
>draw 4-5 finished drawings per month
>getting better with each new drawing
Imagine not having a talent

>drew one line every year
>still no gains

>browses /ic/ instead of drawing/studying
>Still no gains
Fuck...

>>4764612
you're not gonna be too smug when you plateau

>thought of drawing today as I was playing COD
>no improvements
WHAT THE FUCK???!!!

>>4757290
Holy shit, this made me laugh so hard that I'm literally crying.

If you're serious then why the hell are you on an art board but haven't made anything since 2015? Get drawing.

>drew a line yesterday
>draw an entire stick figure today
im... im improving, bros!!

>>4770046
drawing stick figures is a plateau mate, hard to improve from there. I know what I'm talking about, I drew only stick figures for YEARS. In the end I drew them very well but I couldn't draw anything else

>Want to learn to draw, start by doing simple straight lines and drawing some boxes, its all ok
>Try again the next day
>Can no longer draw boxes and straight lines
