I'm a complete novice artist. Well I wouldn't even call myself an artist. More like an editor. How long would it take for me to get on the level of pic related? I know it will probably take years but I feel like I will never ever be satisfied with anything I create unless it looks at least half as good as this. Is this possible with pure practice or it it mostly talent from a young age? (I'm 21 btw). I have pen, pencil, and paper at my disposal. But I also have a Tab S8+ on me right now with multiple drawing apps pre-installed on it. Where should I start? How the hell do people get this good and to where do they find the time? I'm not talented or even good at really anything so I want to at least be good at something like this. Did I wait too long to try to get good at this?

Lmao, I just realized it was shexyo and not sexyrobutts, I really thought it was weird how terrible the art looked and I was thinking with myself this is probably his worst art in 10 years.

If you just want to be a copycat 2 years. One year learning the basics and another one learning how to copy and steal.

It seems you're only interested in being good, you don't love drawing and making art itself, it's very clear. In that case don't bother, this is not for you. Focus on your true interests, the one that you would love to do whether you're good at it or not.

Also, I find it amusing when beginners start obsessing and idolizing anime, like c'mon, it's just a stylization, you will have to go through realism first.

The background wasn't hand drawn, probably used references for the poses, fanart so no character design.
If you have several hours per day to spend on drawing you could produce something like this in probably 2 years, although it will take a lot of time and effort

There are some people that have no passions. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and choose something creative to build skills in. This is why children are usually forced to practice things when they're young even when they don't want to. Once you have the skills it becomes more enjoyable, but it takes discipline to get there

>> No.6165538

>>6165524
Actual criticism? Outside the background not lining up with the perspective of the characters, not matching the colors so it looks off, being just a picture with a blur and he going out of his way to hide the hands where the arm of one character is cut off, fucked up back anatomy, weird proportions for well know characters, weird proportions in general, the nonsensical draped that don't follow the line of the body but only what he thinks it should be made to highlight her ass. broken neck and the simple fact he is copying a style without understanding what makes the style work what else you want me to criticize? This shit is obvious, only one glance and you can tell how off everything feels.

The thing that is good about this drawing is the shading and colors, and both sexyrobutts does infinitely better. Shexyo should receive a beaten with a bullwhip for his own good, can you imagine how creepy it must be to sexyrobutts to have this weird version of himself that had a stroke walking around? Shexyo will always be the off-brand shitty version of something better, if you can't see that you might as well quit art, you just don't get it, don't matter how popular or skilled you are.

but OP is already dooming without even starting, imagine now trying to dedicate thousands of hours into this semi-useless skill

trying something to see if you like it or not is fine, but forcing yourself to get to an advanced or even just /int/ level in something you dont like just because you like the idea of doing it feels more like something is wrong with the person

if they are already dooming without even starting then not wasting their time with this and just do shit they enjoy is good advice
time is something you never get back and life is too short to do shit you hate as a hobby

also you talk as if forcing children to do shit is good, it is not, especially since in most cases the kid only does it cuz the parents force them to
pls dont tell me youre one of the newfags or fujos, cuz you do seem like it with your retarded logic of trying to seem nice on the surface but saying toxic shit
at least the schizos and crabs are more direct with their autistic retardation or bad intentions

The proportions are weird dude, if you look at were the floor is and where the calf should start and end her legs are like are 70% tight and this stubs of calves. You legit can't see that? Are you really not seeing how lazy and fucked up those hands are? Can you imagine defending Shexyo of all people? I'm not even sure he is a person, my personal running theory he is a chimp in some zoo with access to a Wacom and internet. How else would explain his behavior?

your biggest problem right now is that you think the image you posted is aesthetically sound or appealing in any way shape or form, and at the age of 21, i think any chance you may have had at acquiring taste is gone
if you are a disciplined neet and you dedicate yourself to it, creating something like the image you've posted in about 3-5 years or less is pretty much guaranteed, and since you will not be counted among the victims of your appalling soggy cardboard midwit aesthetic sensibilities, congratulations! your suggested search result current thing dreams can become a reality

I'm 31 and a complete beg but I can easily get to that level in 2 years (1) year if I try hard but right now I just can't see any reason to give up my high paying job just to draw and earn nothing and even if I get to that level I will be earning less than 10% of what I earn right now.

Im on literally the same boat as you (age and everything, different job but still)
Keep in mind most of the posters here are either teenagers or really young adults so they have this kinda distorted view of reality where they can make it and swim in money off comisions and patreon.
The sad truth is, they'd be lucky to pay rent just by working on comissions, and most of us should just keep drawing as a hobby.

Being a hobbyist doesnt mean you'll be bad at that thing, it just means you dont pursue it as a means of making a living out of it, simple as.
Im pretty sure theres plenty of hobbyist that are better than actual professionals.

Learn figure drawing. Check the google doc in /beg/, you dumb dumb.

Comic book artists (good ones, at least) are really good at exaggerating gestures to invoke emotions, and draw the viewers' eyes along a path the artist wants them to see. The line art isn't all that crazy, just mastery of basic shapes and telling a story with lines.

Now go to /beg/ and read the OP.
