do not try to be an artist and look for another hobby lol

>Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

Don't learn by copying manga

have fun, enjoy what you do.
this way you will never stop.

Study Vilppu 5 hours a day, every day.

>>4864594
get off this board

>>4864594
draw a lot.

>>4864594
there's no piece of advice even a fraction as valuable as an hour of practice

>>4864594
Give up

>>4864594
Immediately purchase the Apple iPad Pro 12.9 with the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil for both a frustration-free experience and an immediate boost in skill.

>>4864594
Quit. Too much time for too little payoff.

>>4864599
This. I used to think it was a joke, but it's actually true.

>>4864594
It's all about how good you are and not the tools or brushes.

>>4864594
Know what you want to get out of it. It is a truly, truly long and difficult journey that seemingly never culminates. As soon as you feel like you've mastered something you find yourself at the starting line of something else. Every work you're satisfied with looks terrible after time passes and you surpass it. Things that were easy a week ago are suddenly hard today and you won't know why.

I say this because if you want to get really, really good (if you want to ever get hired you better be really good), it's going to cost a big chunk of your life for years. If you don't use your practice time appropriately you won't improve enough and will eventually wish you had that time back. A LOT of getting good is soul-crushing repetition and exercises that take a huge amount of time, but have no payoff as they initially won't look good (and won't impress your friends). Even when you do get pretty good finding anyone to even look at your masterpiece and give an opinion can be an uphill battle, and often all of that work earns you a "That's pretty cool."

The short of it is that it's no fucking joke. If you're passionate, absolutely do it because it's absolutely the most rewarding pursuit imaginable, but you pay for that reward. If it's just a minor hobby, a side interest... admit that to yourself and don't bother fighting the uphill battle, because it won't be worth what it takes to get through the tough parts of the process.

focus on getting pussy you virgin

find a group you can figure draw with immediately
it goes such a long way

This all makes a lot of sense, but at the same time, it's kind of like telling someone to just find the one answer to their life end. That's a lot to tell to people and most people in life probably don't even ever find that reason.

Get out of your room and sketch and paint outside.

>>4864594
Practice your loomis

Don't mindlessly grind fundies

>>4865157
My experience also, I go once a month for two years now, I want to go more often but I don't have the time.
Yet it's such a valuable exercise and with the right people it's also a lot of fun and a place to work on your network.

>>4864594
autistic people cannot create anything soulful or original.
also you were molested

Don't compare your today to somebody's tomorrow.

>>4865250
This is an interesting array of words.

don't stop practicing and you're supposed to suck at first

>>4865260
that's what i tell all my interns

>>4865264
kek got me

>>4864827
unironically true

>>4865264
Eyyy.

>>4865156
(Instructions unclear)
(Catfood bill now highest in household)

>>4864827
would do this if I wasn't a NEET loser
I have a chink display tablet and I hate it
I honestly would've rather had a screenless if I had to sit at my desk

>>4864594
setup your schedule. between x and y hours you work/study. and know that this will take a while. so long that maybe you'll doubt it all. and shitty stuff will happen in your life. maybe so many doubts and so much shit that you'll want to cry yourself in a corner and kill yourself.

but every day, between x and y hours you are at your drawing place. doubts and crying before x hours, and killing yourself should wait until after y hours.

every day.
this is all.

>>4864594
don't listen to this fags and do what you feel right, the advice lies within you

>>4864594
trace
>>fix mistakes
copy
>>fix mistakes
repeat

If i grind loomis and draw boxes every day, i will get good.

>>4865589
You will draw the sickest loomis heads and coolest boxes.

>>4864594
>copy and trace
>draw what you like
>notice you suck
>learn fundamentals
>draw what you like
>sucks less, yet still sucks
>back to fundamentals
>sucks less, yet still sucks

Also, take a break here and there. You´ll get more gains after a 2 day breaks, then through mindless grinding

>>4865203
elaborate further

>>4864594
Shit takes time. Dont have a mental breakdown because 8 months from now, you still havent made it yet

>>4864594
>fuck fundies
>fuck study
>fuck pressure
>fuck comparing yourself to others
start with enjoying what you do and let that come later. even if you just love drawing stick figure comics, copy pasting photos together or making tutorials for shit you don't even know yourself.

>>4865597
Not him but what he's saying is not to make fundies an end goal, instead use it as a mean to an end.

>>4864594
draw for fun, draw from life.

>>4864594
Quit. Too much time for too little payoff.

>>4864599
dumb ESL here
do you mean: "don't try to be an artist and have another hobby"
or: "don't take art as a hobby, get another hobby"

>>4864594
Start lifting nigger
And post more if you want clout, like every day even if all you have is a sketch

>>4865887
Only go for art if you’re willing to sacrifice your life to it

>>4866034
What if I'm willing to sacrifice other people for it?

>>4866064
you'll end up lonely, depressed, and suicidal

>>4865241
autistic paracosm would say otherwise

>>4866101
i'm legit autistic and I don't have this

Draw cos you want to do it and nothing more.
>if said person asked why I draw
I draw cos I get bored and want to ink a reality of my own making.
I can get shit on sure but I really don't care. What matters is that I draw what I wanted to draw and don't expect anything from anyone.
>what are some tips anon-senpai
I can teach you what I know but don't think it to be the only way fren. Explore other mediums if you really wanna explore what strikes your fancy. I only dabble in water color and other ink colors when I wanna be fun with drawings i already have. Ink was the one for me when i was shitting around in grade school and ink is in my lamy safari pen when i'm shitting around at work when I take my lunch.
>I see other persons work and I get discouraged
fag minds think like this and you should feel bad for it. USE THAT AS INSPO FAGGOT AND GIT GUD IF YOU REALLY WANT IT
