Too old?

[Anonymous No.3274925]

I'm currently 21 years old and want to learn to draw. My question is if I'm to old to learn it. And when I'm not to old how should my daily routine looks like?

Read the sticky, get on cgpeers, pirate ctrl paint digital sketching series (mostly applies to paper too), try draw a box.

No. With 21 years old you can learn everything. But if you are a woman i wouldnt try anymore.

>But if you are a woman i wouldnt try anymore.
why? just curious

[Anonymous No.3274964]

you can do it. just draw a lot everyday, pay attention to your weaknesses/strengths, and try to have fun with it. everyone has a different daily routine cause people learn differently, it's the same with drawing textbooks and some people prefer hogarth to loomis or whatever.

i'm 22 and i started learning to draw since july. most of my drawings are here:

since you're actually really good, what did you use to study?

Every guide that I find have a difficulty jump with each step. Hell, they first ask to drawn a square then later ask to drawn fucking the last supper in 4 dimensions.

We really need a super clear FAQ in the sticky

>Am I too old to draw?
no, art isn't some esoteric thing that you have to start when you're young, it's a skill like any other and you can start at any age

[Anonymous No.3274975]

>>3274974
Old people don't read stickies or instructions, they just do and give up when it doesn't go their way.

[Anonymous No.3274977]

You aren't old and never will be, but what does become a factor is responsibility. I wish had the vision to see a career in art at 15 instead of 22. And now at 24 i can only draw as often as the free time i have from working. Will i get there? Yes. Will it be ideal? No. There are no short cuts you can take unless you want to become a hack.

The hardest thing for me to do was admit i was becoming a one trick pony. Once i did i grew more, but the problem i had after getting out of my safe zone was that i was shit. You will be shit too, you cant help it. You just have to be okay with getting polaxed and slaughtered a thousand times while you do it.

Sorry for typos. Mobile scum here.

thanks, i started with gestures right away and i think i spent the first 2 months getting 2k or more quickposes done. most were 2 mins-90 seconds. after that i would try to kinda apply the same stuff i learned to people irl. that made me remember quick poses in my head, and try to recreate them. i was also drawing from life a lot during that time. everything after that to now has just been anatomy grind and artist studies.

if i had more patience i'd probably start with books like keys to drawing or drawing on the right side of the brain and then skim perspective made easy about halfway through. i'd do a few still life drawings, a few bargue plates, and read through scott robertson's how to draw and THEN try drawing from photo ref or fig studies.

also: you don't have to be good to try your hand at designing stuff. john park's videos on mech designs are great and the principles in those videos can applied to designing pretty much anything, so i'd recommend them for any other beginner looking to learn design.

You will just not put the effort necessary, and when you fail you will wanna to kill yourself. Why you wont put the effort? Your inferior genes will distract you from art, "not to get weird in my room training all day urrgg, i need social life lol", and eventually you will get cocked. Many times maybe, as you wish. Your genes will make you thirst by cock till your market value drop or the pregnance. Because you are a "normal human" like the most of people, or like the most of woman and cant be diferent. Starting with 21 years old to get good you would have to be autistic, something that only males can do. And take risks too, another male thing. See every good female artist out there, every one of them start young, like 12 or 13 years old. Art will only make your depressed as your body starts to saggy really quickly and you feel all the cocks you are missing and the good old male to give protection for you. Females only do art for approval, not for passion. Females dont have passion for nothing, only for themselves. If you are bad you wont get any approval, if you dont make it clear that you are a cute female. Forget about this and be happy, as a female, trying to get the better cock you can by using the value of your body. Just remember about art when you get a divorce with your husband later, them you can make beautiful flowers with no fundamentals. Thank me later.

No, 21 is young as hell. I'm 26 and that's still young. What's important is your attitude and discipline.

t-thanks

I need a bag that I can carry my tools (brush pens, a few pencil cases with markers and shit), sketchbook, a 12 inch tablet and phone and maybe a few other things in, like an all purpose kind of bag that I can pack everywhere which has enough space/durability for my stuff. Does anyone have anything they would recommend? Girly/cute looking stuff is fine.

That's a good time to start actually, many people don't even study the fundies until then

>You can be too old to learn something
No you dumb bitch. But if you're questioning this, you're probably too YOUNG to learn it.

Age is not important
Important thing is what you studied, way of study that's the point

I draw since i was kid (yeah ) but can't draw anime from imagination why?,because i didn't studied that subject (anatomy etc) and waste time on uselese shit (replying on your thread,copying photo all time)
Now i'm 23 yrs old piece of shit and have to learn structure of body

So you can make decent art in 1year if you studied well
AlsoI highly recommend ctrl paint even retard can understand this lesson if you spending 3weeks on his video you can almost control photoshop

you remind me of someone I know irl. He does a loft of gesture drawings like the ones you posted. He eventually left the uni I was in when he was halfway done with his course and proceeded to learn animation. He eventually landed a job in an animation studio. Hope you'll be successful like him, anon.

I also started doing gesture drawings too since I wanted to improve on my poses/anatomy.

Ehh, you're getting up there in years, but at 21 you should still have some brain plasticity left so you might as well give it a shot.

The element I had in my youth that I no longer have is faith in my potential. I'm doing more or less fine without it, you can find other ways to make acting fun. There are plenty.

So no, you're not too old.

Your daily routine should be trying a metric shitton of thought processes, mediums, techniques, and themes. Take careful note of what you find fun, and persue it.

Also, worth noting; I started taking it seriously at 22. I've fell off several times, it's not the only skill I earnestly attempt.

I'm 28 now, still at it. Better than I started, still suck in my opinion. Satisfied with the progress regardless. I've managed in my incoherent bumbling to make it functional for my needs.
