Hey guys, since this is the art board, I thought it'd be a good place to start. Since the pandemic, I was thinking I should have a way to make some cash on the side, and since I've always liked drawing and stuff since I was a kid I thought I could make some dough doing art. Of course, nobody will hire a newbie like me, so I need to get some skills first. I used the sticky to gather resources, and I have set up an 8 month study plan. I will have 17 hours a day to dedicate solely to practicing my art. By the end of the next 8 months I plan to be hire-able at somewhere like Blizzard or something. I was thinking of starting a blog for all of you to follow my progress. Any interest?

picrel is my most recent drawing i did with my mouse

it would be nice if for once a dunning kruger would come in here with actual results showing their short term accomplishments

but every other week its "im gonna be blizzard level in under a year by grinding 25 hours a day" only to never to be heard from again unless it's to admit they couldn't do it. You're not any different OP, get ready for a long and difficult grind if you're serious. Unless you have a pro mentor dedicated towards helping you it won't happen in 8 months.

You are one of like 10 or 15 that have made multiple threads like this over the course of this year. All have seemingly dropped off the face of the earth instead of posting their progress like they said they would. You won't be any different.

You're another of those "I'll be drawing 16 hours a day" people who end up drawing 2 hours a week if not less. If you truly had what it takes you would already be working hard on forming habits, drawing hours a day instead of posting here. You have zero idea how mentally and physically exhausting it is to work as a professional. You're heavily delusional thinking you'll suddenly start drawing 17 hours a day if you are at this level as an adult. People you look up to have been drawing daily for their whole teenagehood and continue working much harder than you. Stop being delusional as the first step and then start drawing 8 hours a day, I guarantee you'll drop out in a week.

nothing but crabs here
just draw

learn new ways to draw and right ways to draw when you draw

>> No.4856385

Serious question, how do people even imagine drawing for 16, let alone 17 hours every day?
Even disregarding fatigue, when do you eat, sleep, cook, maintain hygiene, stave away muscular atrophy and so on?
I actually time I draw, and I mean pencil to paper draw, not read, watch videos, etc. and I have to put in effort to do 3 hours of solid studying. Drawing your own stuff is easier, but not 14 hours easier.
Do these people have nurses holding out bedpans and giving them sponge baths while they draw high on cocaine or something?

Good bait thread, OP. You hit all the right notes to make good bait; the classic dunning-kruger hallmarks of "how hard can it be?" attitude, "I've always liked drawing and stuff since I was a kid", the unreasonable time-frame for improvement, and for the cherry on top, the shitty art in the OP pic. The only problem is that it's just too perfect, like it was tailor-made for this board. The non-sequitur troll image replies >>4856044 >>4856048 give it away too. Good job nonetheless, OP, you're no Ken M. but this is much better than the low-effort wojak thread spamming last night.

Serious question: Why does it take so long to get to intermediate or low expert? There's plenty of video proof of people learning to play instruments, becoming conversational in a foreign language, and putting up decent fights in chess with seasoned players within 1-6 months. Why is learning art supposedly much more difficult? What makes it different than any other skill where focused practice and quick feedback can take a beginner to intermediate in the same amount of time?
