Fuck off with your "you aren't starving in Africa so your problems don't matter" meme. Feelings of loneliness and isolation are hard to deal with and more prevalent in places that aren't shitholes because a single person can more easily take care of their own material needs. Humans are hard-wired for social interaction to the point that we use solitary confinement to punish misbehaving prisoners. Not having an adequate social outlet won't kill you on the same timescale as starvation or dehydration, but it has been shown to significantly shorten your lifespan. If someone doesn't know how to find that outlet in this society or is unable to do so for whatever reason, every day can feel like torture even in the absence of acute unmet physical needs.

Don't be an idiot and believe what any random fool on 4chan tells you. Correlation does not imply causation. What can potentially shorten your lifespam is prolonged depression and other mental illnesses that can be side effects of loneliness. Life isn't some weird RPG where you can replenish your health bar by talking to people and if you don't talk to enough, it goes down.

I learned how to sculpt and 3D model my concepts (with textures and fitting envrionments). It's way faster than painting and you save all that time on painting (which is essentially calculating how light falls on materials and their surfaces).
Learning how to draw and paint is essential first though, it's not a magical bullet.
My 2D portfolio was manily a no go but they were hugely interested in my basic knowledge of industry softwares so I started learning those. Feels good!

I ask because I draw rather slowly, I take a week to draw, but two days to full color and line a picture.

I usually offer the initial sketch for free, and under payment I complete the coloring and shading.

I've reached about 8 months into Aguri's fundamental's guide, along with keeping up with my Japanese language studies so I can read more specialized resources for my interests, like Toshi's reference tanks I bought a while back, and to find clip studio paint resources easier. Probably never would have been able to do it if I didn't drop gaming completely, and cut down masturbation to once a week.

Managed to complete 5 drawings for my mini artbook. I'm planning to do at least 20 pages. I've always wanted to come up with my own artbook and sell them at an anime con or online. A bit worried that people wouldn't be interested in it at all though and that I'm wasting my time. But goddamnit! I'm just gonna power through it so that I won't regret it later in life!

I finally drew a decent looking Inkling using a splatoon brush i made

[Anonymous No.2885152]

I found having a sense of direction very habit instilling, something that I desperately needed.

If you're a complete beginner I think you'd need Keys to Drawing before Erik Olsen's lessons. (I did, never drew in my life beforehand.)

If you plan to follow the guide digitally, take a day or two acquainting yourself with each program before diving in, I wasted a lot of time figuring out PS at the start during the lessons instead of my own personal "freedrawing" sessions.

Browse ahead and glance over all the material and make a schedule, cgpeers had most of it. It may be harder to find other material in the future, like the CGMA 2011 workshops, might want to collect everything at the start.

Free drawing from imagination daily on my own time was probably the best thing to do. Don't just do the work for the day. It really showed me how many concepts stuck with me as time passed on. Saved everything to compare them, and revised them on a new layer on occasion looking back at them. You may see you're also missing a concept not listed in the guide that you want to incorporate into your art too, just look for a resource to supplement it.

The time allotted is pretty sparing, says 8 weeks for most terms, even with the 3-4 recommended hours a day I'd say you can cut that time with full attention on studying.

All and all It's very bare bones, but correctly lists concepts you need in an order that builds upon each other, in my opinion at least, It ensures you don't self study and become a person that decently renders a mess, accidental masterpiece, etc because they wanted to learn rendering first. Learning certain concepts of art first will let you absorb new concepts easier, plain and simple.

[Anonymous No.2885216]

>>2885016
Ah right, my actual results though, I don't think it'll vary much between person to person in terms of the concepts, if I have a problem with my art I can point myself in the right direction, I'm no longer lost because of how many issues arise, I can also keep the good aspects because I know the principles behind them, instead of leaving it to chance (oh that looks good, time to work the whole piece around it kinda thing.)

Perspective isn't a "how" anymore, it's just a matter of time it takes, I can generally eyeball it, but in something I want to look perfect I can use perspective rulers in CSP. I'm supplementing a book for extreme perspective though, because I like that sort of thing and it wasn't covered a lot.

Color theory and workflow have shifted the time I waste to a minimum. I've trained my arm and wrist enough to where each line isn't sacred, so sketching is also faster. I can't name an arbitrary color on the wheel, again, I just can eyeball it and understand what will work well from the information I learned. (still learning rendering in term 6 atm)

Biggest part was being able to create almost any pose or form I wish for a human, animal, or imaginary creature I made. Aside from extreme perspective in which I'd probably need a ref if I didn't want to waste an hour with trial and error.

TL;DR I have the baseline to focus on the important part of art, creating a style. Whether realistic or anime, etc. What's appealing to my eye and others, what separates an artist from another. I have the technical skill in my head, it's not holding me back from creating, the defining factor is can my shitty head think of something appealing to put onto the canvas.

[Anonymous No.2885243]

>>2885216
Thanks for taking the time to write all that. I've seen a guy in las using the guide and made some progress. But I have taken the time to write my own schedule so I'll go with my own. Short blog...

I know the only thing that's holding me back from making progress is perspective form drawing so I'll just do the parts for perspective and figure out a schedule from there. My goal is pic related, cute girl and mechanical object. I've spent the beginning of the year foundling around confused on where I want to take art, losing sight of a "goal". But my enemy has been in front of me this whole time, perspective. So I'm going to spend as much time to learn everything on it as priority 1 now that I know what I want.

Not worried about color since I see kiddies on youtube pick color and don't know how it works but make really appealing works. There is a guy named n*f (don't want to give you archive masturbation) in las who seems to have picked up color quickly so that's another motivation to not go straight into it.

But anyway thanks for your insight.

Since it was the first semester then main focus was on the tools, and basics.
The assignments were very illustration heavy I had them do a landscape, landscape with a character and a portrait.
I should note, that I did all the assignments with them so they could understand workflow better.
The painting part was focus on analyzing what makes image great and I broke down professional paintings to show how they were done and what logic was used in terms of colour composition etc. Ohh and I made shiton of slides :D

considering it was my first time teaching Id like to think it was okay, students looked pleased at least.

masterclasses don't teach art better than a good book for fuck shake

This portrait. I made it a few weeks ago while reading and working my way through Maughan's Drawing the Head book. My problem is usually that I overthink the proportions and placements. When I don't "think" I place the features more right than when I do. Since I want to force myself to understand what I'm doing the result is usually worse than when I follow my instincts. But this piece turned out nicely and was fun to draw with two colors and tinted background.

Yeah but it's not a hardcore place where I teach. the semester was 6 x 90 minute lessons + independent work. You simply cant pump out more than 3 works in that time when you simultaneously study photoshop from scratch.

My essential goal during that time was to help them take the first step and give them a foundation to build upon. And I tried to show them that it is not all witchcraft and magic.

Essentially when you do "studies" you need to know how and what to look instead of just mindlessly copy things, and due to the lack of time I decided to go the analyzing approach.

In terms of art history giving you an advantage in art, it sure did me. After learning about impressionism and its features, my own paintings color improved tremendously.

But yeah, after finishing it there are a lot of things that I am going to improve upon when If I should give another semester.

your heads are stuck in the same 3/4 profile pose which is noticeable and awkward in some of the poses where she isn't doing anything. you tried to depart from old in mid left pic but it didn't really succeed. don't get discouraged of that. try doing head construction practices a la loomis or preston blaire.

some of the poses remind of me when i hadn't studied construction or real life. for example nurse leaning on her hand is a good guess from imagination but doesn't really work in practice. i recommend googling 'figure drawing' and practicing on some real poses they have there to get it more natural.

yes, at the level I am, 300 with fanart seems the norm, my goal is to up it to 600 as I improve.

also I decided to open commissions and it´s less bad than I though, doing colored sketches is relatively stress free and my clients seem to be liking the results.

I just opened up a sketch I never finished from months ago and even though the anatomy is all wonky and the coloring is still a WIP, I just gave him duck shorts and I love them

Sorry for this.
But this image makes me remember my ex-girlfriend.
I remember when she took my hand and drive it to her bubbie, and kiss me.
Sorry for my sad reaction, but it was a moment that I'll never forget. :')

Been drawing all weekend and now my hand hurts... I watched Houstons three hour lesson on heads and I think it helped me a bit... these three pieces are the ones I managed to finish but I also sketch out three comic pages... so it was a good weekend and tumblr even liked my stuff (300 likes on one picture is rather seldom for me...)
So no money, but a tiny bit of confidence to get me through the week. It's something right?

Also the fuck is with this hard core teeth knocked out stuff. Straight girls are more likely to be into rape than lesbians.

I finally caved in and dropped out of school yesterday. I left home four years ago to transfer to this school, they promised me that I could improve my digital painting. It was okay at first, my credits didn't go through so they had me start with the fundamentals, but I got good feedback and practice in during that time. I was patient.
I told my professors that my deepest interest was in character design, concept art, because I knew the struggle of wanting to express an idea in a visual manner and I wanted to help others with that struggle.They recommended that I take an animation major, and while I was skeptical about it, it sounded like the closest thing I could get towards digital painting.
But it never really came to that, and those promises were always kept out of reach. I insisted that they let me practice photoshop, at least then I could apply some personal practice into my assignments. Eventually we moved from traditional to Maya, and the time it took to learn everything became tenfold. There would be no time to draw anymore, no time to paint, only modeling, rigging, scripts, materials, etc...
But they told me it'd be the best means of getting myself into the industry, and so I tried to learn all that I could about Maya.
3 years of toiling away at that program day and night, and it finally started to stick, but I wasn't happy. Nothing about learning this brought me any joy, the projects I made felt empty, rushed, and I sensed that all my previous efforts towards improving my art were becoming squandered. I didn't have the time to practice anymore, it all had to be dedicated to the school assignments. Unlike other animation courses, I found that their program requires that every student works individually. The end result being that you had to do the jobs of what would normally be meant for a team of animators, and our projects lasted only the semester. None of the work ever looked decent, or finished even. I could continue, but I'm out of space.

Good for you. Do what makes you happy. But don't forget reality, paying bills and all.

What exactly do you mean by "extreme perspective"? things like curvilinear perspective or extreme foreshortening?
