Explain.

>>6211689
I don't study. I only draw finished pieces.

>>6211689
Your not supposed to confess in the op, attentionwhore

he fears me

I don’t draw.

I have crabbed an artist even though he was significantly better than me.

>>6211689
1. i rarely use references for anatomy or lighting
2. i jerk off to all my drawings both as i make them and after i make them
3. i dont really network much
4. one time i got high and fucked my hallucinated oc's

>>6211689
I only sketch I dont do finished pieces

>>6211689
I don't draw.

>>6211689
>I have never read a book by Loomis because his theory is very outdated,

How? His methods are still used by many people today. A technique on how to draw the head and other parts of the body doesn't become "outdated".


>it is for a specific drawing style

It's not. You're supposed to take the method and customize it to what you're trying to draw. You don't have to only draw in his style with it.

>>6211689
Every 15 or so weeks I delete all my socials, make a new Gmail and draw in a new style.

I started drawing to get girls, but its been 7 years and I still haven't had my first kiss

>>6212144
that isnt an /ic/ sin, thats just normal /ic/

quintessential NGMI/core/
imagine thinking "proportions" is a theory that can be outdated, and also, imagine dismissing a way to draw before you even read the fucking book holy shit

op's not gonna reply to you. I wonder why you thought it was worth it to post this reply.

>>6212417

I keep wanting to make ironic funny porn comics of famous internet figures but I know it is very cringe so I don't. But for the past year its been in the back of my mind.

i post overly positive and encouraging comments from time to time to reinforce artists bad habits making them stagnate
it works much better than typical crabbing since it comes wrapped up in a "feel good" package
especially good tactic in certain threads with certain types of people, you know which ones...
also add in some aggressive defense of those artists against the normal crabs to make it even more believable and easier for the artists to feel validated in their /beg/ tier art or unappealing twitter/tumblr art styles
kill em with kindness and they wont realize they are going downhill

>>6211689
I post my "good" art and act retarded on purpose just to see if I'll get a response. Turns out nobody can crab me because they are too retarded to pick something fundamentally wrong. It's really lonely on the top bros....

>>6212409
It's not that all theory is bad, some things I still use, but I think the rest can be changed for new theory. For example, the system of proportions of loomis is of the 8 heads, the problem is that over time, when you draw people of different race, height and sex you realize that there are proportions that are more different from others. And I read the book but I left some theory aside because of what I said before sorry for the confusion

i wrote in some discord that artist should draw 4 hour/day 250days/year even tho i dont draw that much myself. hope i didnt ruin art for anybody

>>6213556
You're right, with loomis you HAVE to draw figures at 8 heads.

>>6213556
>For example, the system of proportions of loomis is of the 8 heads, the problem is that over time, when you draw people of different race, height and sex you realize that there are proportions that are more different from others.


Loomis isn't the only one that uses the "8 heads" thing. And like how he draws heads and faces, they're idealized proportions. It's just a base to work with but like he says himself, you take it and alter the proportions depending on the character because just like in real life, not everyone is going to be built the same.

>>6211689
I've hoarded over 9000 brushes yet i only use 5

>>6211689
Decided to start using 3d models in ernest again, all of my best drawing was made using models and it's nice to just be creative and focus out this without having to be held back by near perfect anatomy. Feels good man.

>>6213556
are you retarded? I swear this board LITERALLY does not understand how to learn.
You know that one of the hallmarks of autism is being unable to abstract categories? Do you literally think that in order to draw 1,000,000 body types you have to learn from 1,000,000 different art books?

>>6211689
i can't draw porn, nor do i want to and this makes me feel inadequate for some reason

I'm only here so I can not pay commissions.

>>6214076
I don't want to draw porn
But i need to make money
I have this deep feeling that i am losing by not perpetuating the coom.
I know i am doing right, but i can't get away from this tought.

>>6211689
I'm terrible with proportions and I use a grid when I do painting studies. Sorry guys, not wasting my time getting the sizes perfectly accurate when I just care about strokes and colors.

I've been using the grid drawing method to copy composition I've made with Daz study. To be honest, I think it's a very good shortcut, but it also makes me feel like a hack.

>>6211689
I am afraid. Afraid that I would not live up to my potential. All my family ever cares for is me wellbeing, but not my happiness. I could be the most productive son of a bitch on the block, but will always wear an empty look on my face to hide my fears and sorrows. I genuinely love to draw. STEM I also love, but it's second place and a means to an end, being art.

>>6214483
thats fine dude, its not cheating if you use it to learn. I trace sometimes to understand what am i missing and what a part i cant do looks like

I don't draw

>>6211795
>i rarely use references for anatomy or lighting
Is this a sin? It's a hassle finding reference everytime you draw, like wtf it's gonna kill the fun.

>>6211689
i have never drawn anything

>>6211689
I have over 4 art books and never used any of them for anything other than a quick read-over"
as for actual sins against art - shredded almost every art piece/sketch i didn't like or deemed unworthy untill i was 15. Like 200 out of 600 pieces a year i make would just get dusted. I'd say i don't feel bad for the 15% of them that was soft porn, but it still was art.

>>6212208
Any reason why?

>>6211689
I haven't been drawing for the past 6 months. I don't draw really, I just do fun doodles but I haven't even done any of those. My brain is full of maggots

>>6216447
why

>>6216462
I used to post my art anonymously, and I tried to do it less anonymously with an account. I've got this fear that people expect me to get better on my account after my hiatus but I only got worse
I should have just continued to post anonymously

>>6216467
And why were you on hiatus?

>>6216543
I just couldn't start drawing unanonymously, I made stuff I've done anonymously associated with my public account I'm supposed to draw on and then I never continued to make stuff for months. I think I still want to draw and not drawing while having this mentality is a stupid situation for sure

>>6211706
OP is retarded

the things Loomis teaches are used by Industry professionals daily

>>6216546
actually I'll just start it by taking it easy but steady. If somone unfollows that's fine, at least I'll be drawing again
