Not this shit again.

explain the poster hanging on her wall

>>4827556
>zero to pro
>a year or so

oh i defintiely believe it's possible to go from zero to "pro" in a year or even less

however those who will make it are those who do it for passion and not social media clout

HERE WE GO AGAIN

>>4827594
>>4827602

I should clarify, I'm going to be doing this kind of thing (tracking progress on 4chan) for a year to see if it'll get me motivated to improve. Not necessarily going pro in a year. I will however give up in 4 years and pick up another hobby if I don't "make it".

>>4827562
she's an organized girl
>>4827559
I'm aware of those other anons and their 1 year promise thing. This isn't what I'm doing. It's just an anonymous progress thread chain.

>>4827556
>Hi /ic/, I'm going to be posting my drawing progress from 0 to pro for the next year or so in a chain thread.

>I do have some drawing experience already, but I haven't been drawing much all year so this is my motivation and accountability.

>>4827562
That's cookiezi some korean osu player.

>>4827631
bad motivations. only want to “make it” and not about the process itself. you want the attention and success.
NGMI NGMI NGMI. WASTING YOUR TIME OP!

>>4827692
>you want the attention and success.
Yes.

join dad and post there

>>4827698
I want control of my work without restrictions, sorry.

>>4827708
whut

>>4827712
File size, format, needing to email to delete work, things like that. I don’t like abiding by another mans policies.

Alright last post until the end of the day today.

>>4827719
At least show us were you stand as an artist now since you want us to 'hold you accountable'

>>4827719
why are begs like this

>>4827729
their dreams haven't been crushed yet

>>4827556
pro tip: everyone that made it did not start from zero though.

>>4827556
>have some drawing experience
>will start from zero
lmao

Not OP but is this good progress? What should I be doing now? I'm not trying to go pro or anything, maybe it'd be nice to take commissions but I don't know if I'm good enough yet.

>>4827778
Nice progress. You probably made it by now if you only studied 8 hours a day everyday instead.

>>4827631
>if it'll get me motivated to improve
Motivation is suckers, because feelings change. Habits stick.

>>4827778

Four locked files. You've got me curious, what's in there?

>>4827778
>Studying fundamentals
>smart enough to have taken the anime pill
Godspeed anon, you're GMI

>>4827787
Thanks. You mean I could have made it studying for 8 hours? Huh, I'm not sure it'd be that easy, but maybe it is. I have a hard time knowing what to draw, so I start to feel like there's no need to get good fast, but I'll keep it in mind.

>>4827860
I noticed it as well but have no idea of what that is. They only appear when I'm not logged in, so my guess is they're just old version of some of the images I uploaded.

>>4827892
Hahah, thanks, anon.

>>4827892
What if I would rather take the Araki pill?

>>4827708
Good, dad has a garbage community.

>>4827787
>HURR DURR YOU DON'T DRAW FOR 8HRS EVERYDAY? NGMI

Pathetic

>>4827556
I am doing the same thing OP, started recently and just focusing on drawing every day for now

>>4827902
I love Araki and think he's is a master at style and composition, but his anatomy and consistency is just all over the place, with part 5 and part 7 being his best periods.

>>4828050
True desu, I just love the hyper masculine characters in early JoJo as well as all the hatching and cross hatching he uses

>>4827932
In what way you can call that a 0? You ve been drawing before.

>>4828065

I think most of us here drew before when were younger hence the interest in art. But there is a difference between the bench warmer vs the dribbler vs wanting to go pro.

>>4828065
You're right, sorry, I misread OP post, I thought he just wants to draw for a year and that's what I will be doing. Being held accountable helps a lot in this case, good luck to everyone who wants to do the same, it's definitely worth trying

>>4828080
Good luck. Are you on /dad/?

>>4828085
I made an account on the website and I will be posting there too

Hahaha another one of this anons again, well good luck OP cuz you’ll need all of it

>>4827556
>the folder link you are trying to access is no longer available

>>4827556
>>4828782
twf

>>4828758
oh fuck off

>>4827697
That’s external motivation, which makes it highly unlikely that you put in the necessary work

>>4827728
No.

>>4827778
I'm doing regular figure drawing myself daily but I feel I'm doing it wrong and cannot capture gestures and feels Im making no progress whatsoever. What author did you use to learn it? Im kinda doing it blindly

>>4828782
>>4828810
he made it, bros

>>4828820
Is there something wrong with dad gallery?

>>4828782
>>4828810
OP probably think he got the last laugh for his epic LARP when in reality he's a complete faggot NGMI /beg/ging for attention when he should've been actually learning to draw, it's embarrassing really.

>>4828859
Mostly Huston's book and his figure drawing sessions at NMA. I read Hampton's gesture chapter but it didn't really click until I was done with Huston, but try watching his (Hampton) gesture lecture on YouTube, I think it's great. Make sure your observational drawing skills are good before starting, I see many /beg/s jump into figure drawing way too fast and struggle with proportions or not pushing the pose enough. Every now and then choose a pose you really like and try to draw it's gesture without time limit, taking your time when doing gestures seems to be underrated.

>>4829034
What if I practiced my observational drawing skill for a year and I still suck at it? Seriously nothing is clicking for me

>>4829184
What I found most helpful for observational drawing was Iten's accuracy guide. I only skimmed through Keys to drawing but I think that's a good book as well. Iten recently had a stream where he teaches some exercises to improve your accuracy.
I've also heard that it's best to start with subjects that allow for a relatively large margin of error to build confidence and get into the habit of drawing.

Iten's latest stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rsQyANBobc
Feng talking about sketching subject difficulty https://youtu.be/22XYoenU-0c?t=637

Keep in mind I'm self-taught, so idk if any of this is right, maybe going to an atelier and doing still lives would be better, I'm just saying what I found useful. Good luck, anon.

>>4827778
This is nice anon. How many hours were you practicing a day? What was your study plan like?

>>4827556
I mean big announcements like this rarely bear fruit, but still good luck anon. Of course it's not luck you need but drawing until your arms want to fall off and then draw some more.

>>4828810
>>4828782
That was quick. Okay troll, I guess.

>>4829464
>Already went thorugh keys to drawing and Iten's accuracy guide
I will check the stream, but damn I feel hopeless

>>4827556
In all honesty how fast one could learn the craft to an acceptable level? Meaning one could draw things and people looking at would get what is it that being drawn?

>>4831438
what

I looked in the mirror today and said "I DON'T NEED ART FRIENDS!".

>>4833451
You're a sad little man.
