Who cares about likes. It's all about that passive income.

Artists that don't draw as much as they should trying to dis other artists for anything.

no, an artist should draw only because they find it enjoyable, not because they want approval

>>6170603
I have never quit because no one likes my art, but all I will say is the feeling of having even one person who goes "this looks great!!!" and likes my post on twitter is something unmatched.

no that's pretty pathetic I agree op

It's nice to be noticed, anon. We're all just human after all.

>>6170608
What’s the best passive income model?

>>6170603
This artist needs to draw more lel.

>>6170632
Marry someone rich

That's literally me
if I don't get at least 1k likes, it's a failure

I draw fanart so even if people don't like my drawing, they'll give it a like anyway because of the character.

>>6170709
Same. I do anatomy studies then slap a Naruto headband on the fucked and fry my dopamine receptors

Motivation is key
It doesn't matter how you get it so long as you do
If the thing that motivates you to draw is public praise then you'd better fucking find people to praise you

>>6171210
Fuck motivation.
Discipline is what you need.

>>6171224
>t. Ngmi retard with iq of a pig.

>>6171227
Eat shit faggot, you'll be uncapable of doing literally anything the very moment your beloved 'motivation' vanishes for whatever reason.

>>6171224
Something has to motivate you to be disciplined

>>6170603
I will now draw when I feel like it, tomorrow I guess...

>>6170603
you need to seperate learning from personal art.
THIS is the key
If you can clearly think that this piece of fucking shit you made is just you learning, its far less damaging to motivation than every single personal piece looks like shit WHY CANT I DO THIS RIGHT.

just separate learning from your personal stuff, in fact, don't even do personal shit till you are kind of ok with the learning shit.

>>6171231
"Discipline" just teaches you to go through the motions without a drive to improve. It's the same shit as most the people on DaD.

>>6170603
I follow some guy on twitter who goes on about how his shit is not getting the recognition it deserves, constant self pitying, saying how they are losing followers... it's really pathetic. I think it's someone from this board, not gonna say who it is but holy shit get your shit toguether, the reason you don't get recognition is that your art still sucks, buckle down and practice to get better, holy shit. You know who you are.

>the reason you don't get recognition is that your art still sucks
Wrong. The bar is too high nowadays, so by the point you get "recognition", you are already at pro level (or have wasted a shitton of time playing the marketing game).
However, compelling art need not be pro level, there are lots of artists with interesting art that fall through the cracks because of that.

That said, statistically speaking, the complaining guy you're talking about is probably not deserving of recognition.

She's kind of right though, I'm low /beg/, 99.99% of what I draw sucks, the rest are studies I got lucky on, and when I draw every day I'm faced with a constant stream of mediocrity reminding me how bad I am.

So far I've been coping but I guess it couldn't hurt to just take a day off and go touch grass every now and then

>>6171355
ngl id follow them just for the schadenfreude

>>6170603
Can confim. I've been not drawing for over a year now, and the work I don't do has improved massively.

>However, compelling art need not be pro level, there are lots of artists with interesting art that fall through the cracks because of that.
thats where knowing a bit of networkinng and marketing helps a lot, most artists think all they need is make skillful artwork and the rest sorts itself out but nah, if you want to make art your business/job you have to learn the skills of a business

ofcourse if drawing is just for pure fun and hobby then do wtv the fuck you want

>Anything more pathethic
Yes, me

>>6170603
Who even is this?

>>6171361
I'm talking about this guy in particular, trust me when I tell you that the reason he is not getting likes is that his art is terrible.

>>6170603
that character is pretty hot ngl, who is she?

>>6171431
are you not going to post his work?

>>6171449
no because I would feel bad about it

>>6171430
inkling gorl

>>6170603
Artists that need the perfect circumstances before beginning making art.

>>6171481
I'm like this. Grinding it out doesn't work well, what do?

>>6171231
I dont speak unmotivated ngmi, cope pig.

I draw because I enjoy it, it's the only thing that gives me purpose unironically, the pursuit of improving my craft.

But I do like praise, ever since I was a kid few things made me feel like I had worth than teachers or friends or even strangers telling me I did a good job

>because they don’t get enough likes or other form of approval
you clearly never drew anything did you?
you shouldnt draw everyday, because it gets fucking tedious and you will start to hate drawing
picking up a pencil will make you sick

unless you scribble for like 15 minutes and call it a day
then sure, draw everyday

>>6171535
I'm pretty sure most people who do art professionally put in similar hours to any other profession. Like, maybe not literally eight hours a day, five days a week, but something comparable to that.
If it's your job, you gotta do it even if you don't feel like it. That's what >>6171224 meant with discipline.

>>6171571
>setting EA standards for animation
yeah, thats why they constantly kill themselves
i would be careful with adopting anything from asian standards and practices

creative professions are not the same as regular labour
there were not only studies, but also practical tests where companies would reduce working hours in the office
it resulted in productiveness of employees rising, so they put in less working hours and still did the same amount of work, or even exceeded it
ofc the same wont work for builders or factory workers, obviously, because their amount of productiveness depends solely in the working hours put in

drawing falls into the first category of work
dont lump it in all together
mindless discipline will only hurts you

ive grinded my fair share of drawing years ago too
during summer vacation when i was preparing for my entry exams i went on a bit of a training session
2 weeks, 8 hours a day of drawing, excluding saturdays
i couldnt look at paper and pencils after that
i didnt draw for a month, up till the exams, because i was so sick of it
passed everything at the first try, but it still sucked
was forcing myself to draw during uni too, because deadlines, discipline etc
and now i didnt draw for years
did only few pieces that i enjoyed and they were mostly for work too
now i try to get back into drawing, because there are many things i want to draw, but its not easy to force myself again
im just burnt out
i dont wonder why so many manga go on hiatus as time passes
forcing yourself is stupid

>>6171607
Deadlines are real, though. Would you actually have made it through university if you only worked when you felt like it?
It's easy to say that you shouldn't force yourself to do things, but the harsh economic reality of the adult world is that sometimes you gotta.
Unless you live in some kind of post-scarcity socialist utopia and are only drawing for your own enjoyment. I mean, I kinda do. But most people aren't in that position.

>not loving your hobby so much that you do it everyday naturally
Not.Going.To.Make.It.Literally.

Op is a fag.

it's more like not showing the stuff you actually want to do. Fanart gets tiring after a while once you stop doing it for yourself

>>6170603
>Draw every day
>Subconsciously job against college tests because you decided that consist uploads were more important
>Become a dropout
>Decide that art is your future as an adult
>Your art makes less money than Pajeets do per month
>Consisency once again tells you draw every day instead of taking those job applications seriously
>Your only comfort is that 10K number to stare at

OP why don't you take up boxing and let mike tyson use you as a punching bag? You scared??? You don't wanna feel ouchies??
