She actually addresses this in this video. She is quite happy doing commercial art even if her parents wanted her to be the "tortured artist". She still thinks working for other people is a creative outlet, or being "someone else's tool" as you so blandly put it.

She isn't even that exceptional - she's just another no-name that you've never heard of that is way ahead of you and is younger. She doesn't even need affirmative action to get to where you fantasize of being.

Think of all the clients she will have lined up who are watching Proko and Marshall shooting the breeze. Fucking wrecked it.

Competition? This post sums it up for me. The smug, self righteous delusional tone. You're living a fantasy inside of your head.

It isn't even about relaxing - there are posts on here about how people have anxiety when drawing. Bait threads about pencil grip and arthritis. That is how mental this board is. You should seek professional help.

I'm going to go slightly off topic:

The only competition the Han have is against themselves, because they've absorbed all the positive, forward moving principles of how to go pro, and have dropped anything that isn't working. Culturally, they're on a massive but silent upswing. Niggers being the trend setters of the western pop culture is on its way out - the Han hate them with a passion and they will wipe them out completely by muscling in their soft power through all forms of pop media and art.

Meanwhile you're stuck here arguing with crabs about how the board has too much anime porn on it. A sticky that still uses upside down Stravinsky to train what exactly? Fucking pathetic.

No, I wouldn't say I'm right. That's too much credit for a simple observation. You have a hard time seeing a tidal wave of change because the exponential dominance of a billion people sneaks up on you and you won't even know that you're a consumer of their culture.

Just please don't salivate next time a Ruan piece is posted or Feng drops another Design Cinema episode. You have no idea how much leverage these people have over your culture, even this early on.

Coincidentally, I've been drawing for 14 years. I haven't gone pro, but my art often looks good and I've gotten some commissions despite being SFW.

In other words, you're telling me "even someone showered by good opportunities took 14 years", so seeing I've come this far on my own while being a lazy sack of shit is motivational if anything.

You have to be an idiot to not recognize the charted path from everything being stamped with "Made in China", to the way they've absorbed trad western cultural icons, and mutated them into their own, and the slow but sure export of their culture back to us through the sheer number of trained and disciplined artists they output every single fucking day.

Worst part is thinking how it's okay to keep western or whatever art directors on staff but outsource all the actual labor to the Chinese, as Valve has done in the case of this girl. But this is a mistake that the Western world has already made by exporting their entire production facilities, giving China more knowledge of how to mass produce whatever they feel like while robbing their own nations of that knowledge for the sake of having a "competitive advantage" within their borders. You won't be able to compete with the Han for very long.

I saw Knight Zhang at a art store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for art advice or anything.
She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Copic markers in her hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma’m, you need to pay for those first.” At first She kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the markers and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I agree with your general statement - obviously Valve isn't hiring kids, but the circumstances of her success are not the circumstances of yours.

The likelihood of you "going pro" in 5 years today are almost nonexistent. Are there exceptions? Yes, there are. They make the rule what it is.

Take the example of Airi Pan up there which is actually a great example of what the rule is. Airi isn't the exception, although it may seem that way because /ic/ is too scared to look at the portfolios of students going into places like ACCD. They mistakenly think these are portfolios of pros sometimes. But they aren't, they are first year entry-level portfolios of kids who have, at the time of their application submission, been drawing and painting for the past 3 to 5 in a structured manner. They've probably been doodling since they were much younger than that, but they haven't received training until they were probably 12 or so.

So you have someone with a seemingly strong portfolio, going into a school after having already received drawing and painting lessons from at least one teacher over the course of some years, so they can spend another handful of years with more teachers getting more drawing and painting lessons, all the while figuring out how to market and promote themselves.

Now, stand back for a second. What does the /ic/ tard have going for them? Name one fucking thing that can overcome all the advantages and hard work someone like Airi has put in?

"Just Draw"? You're fucking dumb.

Don't draw more boxes. Learn when to throw in the towel.

I'm sure in early 2000s it was possible to sling it because most of the entertainment industry at the time didn't really understand WTF it was doing with computers and digital art and whatnot. But today, it's a well established field, with a well established grind. The circumstances of success back then, are not the circumstances of success today.

You're vastly outplayed by the chinks. It's time to cope with it.

As much as this would be great for the Western culture I sincerely don't think this is going to happen.

The Han exemplify one great virtue that I think the West needs to re-learn, and that is to stick to a tradition and grind through it until you come out on top.

There's that old example of the two groups of students, one is making shitty pottery the other is pontificating how to go about making a work of art from the get-go. The one making the shitty pottery wins because they figure it out along the way and have the sheer speed to crank out even better looking pottery, faster, compared to the group that are wanking it.

The Chinese are the former group. It just that no one really sees it because the social and cultural lag being what they are are only now showing the bad pottery.

Rest assured, the better stuff is on the way. And when it arrives, it will be game over for certain.

tl;dr
i like drawing and getting better for my own personal satisfaction, who gives a fuck if you make it pro. here's a counter blackpill for people like you: going pro with the hobby you love destroys your love of it. i'm currently in an industry that i joined because i was really good at it as a fun hobby and decided i would be good doing it professionally. it has sucked the joy out of it, has turned it all into blank numbers and money and bonuses instead of "muh fulfillment". i hate all of the consoomers of my work now, since they don't know jack squat about the blood and sweat i put into my work, and they don't know how easy it is for all of them to do it if only they were serious about putting their soul into it like i have.

so that informs my perspective on the drawing issue. you doomer ngmi types are barking up the wrong tree. who gives a fuck if you make it professionally? do good, then do better for your own enjoyment. if you go into drawing for the ultimate goal of making it your profession, realize that any solace it may offer you will be erased. meanwhile i'm not going to male the same mistake again - i will draw because i like doing it, if i can make some furry coomer commission bux later on as a side gig, or not, then so be it. in the meantime, i truly pity professional artists like OP posted. you should never want to get to the level where your craft determines whether you pay rent that month. you will grow to resent it and will regret having shattered the innocent fun of it for some monopoly money. because the money will take over your initial love and enjoyment, leaving you broken and cynical.

tl;dr i draw because it is a fun release and hobby, i want to get better for my own sake, and making it a main source of income would ruin all of it.

I agree with your tl;dr's. Draw all you want, but don't have any expectations of turning it into a career unless you've managed to align yourself with people like these, because if you haven't and you want to be their competitor or work alongside them, you're barking up the wrong tree.

My love for my craft hasn't waned either, don't think that is what i was trying to say. it's become a love/hate relationship, which is worse than just the love of the game. I'm satisfied doing it... but i hate the reaction to it, which detracts from the soul put into it.
To point two: i dont give a kansas jumping fuck what she thinks or how good she is. it is totally irrelevant to my own goals in becoming a better draftsman. it is for me, and me only.
I don't have any career expectations from it and i do't want them. That's exactly what my warning is against. Don't align with them. Don't compete with them. Draw because it is a beautiful act of creation that our species is uniquely equipped to do. Enjoy it, revel in it, don't ever try to turn it professional because no matter what you do, be it working some corporate cubicle accounting job or working some corporate cubicle storyboarding job, it sucks. Just make the money, get away and go do what you really enjoy with the freedom that money gives you. Draw on your own time, for yourself, for your own pleasure, because you can afford it. Don't make it your source of income, because when you have the free tume away from work, you're not going to want to do it for fun or for yourself. Why do it when you already put 40+ hours a week into it to fill someone else's pockets? It all becomes so tiresome.

another tl;dr
all im saying is that any art or craft should be for your own enjoyment without the goal of making it professionally unless you are a true artist that can work independently. don't post these doomer ngmi threads here when anons are just trying to have fun.

Once I pic up a pen and start making marks I never want to stop. I just find it very hard to pic up that pen most days.

Individual pieces or in general? Somtimes I can an idea and image of something specific but I do know the general look I want to achieve

Definitely. Not as much as I should be though.

Who cares, I don't want to draw like chinks. There are billions of them that are churned out of factory-like art schools, and each and every one of those people are soulless drones. There are swarms of chinks at artcenter who absorb everything like a sponge, and yet there's not one among them worth emulating. And then there's the Japanese. I've seen so many artists on pixiv get gud in 3 years, they make genuinely soulful art that puts the chinks to shame. Japs still have the spark that pre-1945 Europeans had, but the chinks have never had it and never will

The industry is well established and the pipeline of students from various schools getting preferential treatment is already there. This should come as no surprise. The chinks graduating from ACCD are all going to be on top of the list of potential hires long before anyone gets to your resume. They'll be hired by - you guessed it - chinks who were already hired.

Connections are something that isn't really discussed on here, mostly because nobody has gotten far enough to have good work to begin with. Believing that you have a fair shot at a highly competitive field on the number of hours you put into grinding without acknowledging hiring practices is fucking dumb. And that's on top of being ass-fucked by 15 year olds who can outdraw you, so you don't even have that going for you.

Do you realize that you are making this whole "chink" retarded theory using as a starting point the career of an American artist.

This whole thread is the definition of fantasy, but no, I'm supposed to be the one burying my head because I'm reminding you that there are plenty of options if you want to work with art, and the fact that a young talented artist does some concept art for Valve doesn't mean a thing.

It means let your art guide your study and not the other way around. Even if, at times, you understandably must delay the gratification of making art, understand you're doing so with the intention of making your art better. Put on blinders, and keep your vision focused. And try as much as possible to fit in time to create. Even if it's just daily sketchbook doodling to unwind, don't fall into the trap of only copying Loomis heads and Bridgman legs for years on end. If you have idea that's important to you, try it, even if it's awkward at first and even if it fails. You'll make so much more progress by searching and failing than by waiting for progress to come visit you.
