We're all friends. Here's a safe space to let your /ic/ feelings out. Vent your artist frustration here. I'll start

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PERFECT THIS SIMPLE CLEAN CEL-SHADING STYLE FOR A LONG FUCKING TIME AND I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN MAKING GOOD PROGRESS WHEN I SAW SOMEONE POST PIC RELATED IN AN /A/ DRAWTHREAD AND IT'S JUST LEAGUES AHEAD OF MY WORK, LEAGUES AND LEAGUES

I've seen this posted before so forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical. Honestly everything anime including cell shading is simplified form. To do it properly you have to understand the shapes you are shading. From "your" pic on the right you still have issues simplifying form. It almost looks like you have studied individual parts but have trouble combining them. And if I was baited, meh.

I’m really bitter about the fact that I’m offering commissions for a laughably cheap price while getting no commissioners (yes I am networking) while there are chibi artists selling their art for £100 and getting loads of clients. It’s one of those things where I realise that I just haven’t reached a big enough following yet and I just need to get myself out there more but I still can’t help being salty.

Also because I used to get so much activity and support on my art back when Instagram had a chronological algorithm, but now get barely any. It’s especially annoying cause my art was really shit back when it was recognised, but now that I’ve massively improved nobody sees it.

Ok, makes sense. Sort of looks like some is traced, but the hand, and breast was done poorly giving it a disjointed look. Nothing wrong with tracing for practice; however it will never look right essentially pasting anime parts on a figure. Try from scratch.

not practicing actual anatomy and appealing proportions/shapes.

Look man, if you want to get good with anime stuff, it's almost 80% about getting good looking faces. I wanted to point out the huge difference in the facial proportions between the source art and yours. The eyes are too far apart, and the nose and mouth are too far away from the eyes to make "the cute", AND YOUR NECKS that shit doesnt look good in any dimension, brother.

don't even kid yourself with the "muh style". try to recreate styles you really enjoy almost 1:1 WITHOUT tracing first. It'll take a few months if you do it everyday. On paper and on digital. Don't be a fuckwit, and put in some constructive mileage.

I'm too tired to think
It feels like my body can barely function, my bones ache and my muscles are sore.
My face feels feverish and my eyes droop more everyday.
I can't think anymore

I'm atrophying purely from exhaustion, there's just too much work for me and absolutely no outlet besides art. I have no friends and my family barely speak to me.
I can spend weeks just going to lectures, studying and drawing at my apartment, which sounds comfy but the reality is that after almost 2 years of it my art has barely progressed while my social skills have severely regressed.

I hate the idea of working or dealing with people in general, people are cunts in general. Back-talking, lying, hypocritical, self-important cunts and they deserve no less than to have their fingers lopped off and eyes pulled out.

I'm sorry I shitpost and aided to bring about the "not going to make it" and crab memes, it was a way to vent the disappointments from not being able to have a spirit to carry a work through completion. It's been many years of stopping half way into the drawing leaving it unfinished due to too many anatomical errors or poor coloring.

Sometimes we even wish to return being blissful again in our own ignorance just as we were before we found this place. We envy those outside who are unaware of their own faults and freely post their art without hesitation. The ability to perceive your own mistakes is a double edged sword leaving you hopeless in a purgatory between giving up or pressing forward to the next failure.

I'm sorry I try to drag others down to the same rut, maybe we pull at others hoping that they'll pull back for a way out.

I feel really bad that I still suck despite having this incredible amount of ressources.
I feel like a cheap hack of what true artists might have been in the past, when they didn't had acess to all of this anatomy and other ressources.
Is having everything served on a plate like that bad? I've always avoided looking at ressources and I was terrible, now I'm still terrible but starting to understand things thanks to all those tutorials. And for some reason it makes me feel bad that I could never figure this out myself compared to all those talented artists that actuallty produced stuff so early when I'm still a beginner in my 30s.

you assume that your resources are much better than theirs. Yeah they didn't have the internet, but so what? Most Internet tuts are garbage and misleading anyways, it wouldn't be bad by any means to learn as an apprentice to a master - hell it might even have been better than what you have, what do you know? Letting yourself feel bad about something so messy and wide a claim isn't smart - it's bad morale practice.

I'm not tryin to meme you with motivation, just have a little perspective. You're talking about something that may very well not even be true. People had their means back then.

More of a question than a vent, does anyone sane actually mind if someone tells you "That drawing looks like a character from X"?

anatomy-tards btfo it has nothing to do with anatomy. Do you see OP having "lmao 2headswide" shoulders? Anatomy isn't the issue, it's whether it's "beautiful" that's the issue. anyway your shading doesn't have high enough contrast, and the "small detail to large smooth detail" ratio is off. You have middle of the road detail everywhere. The simple clean style relies on smooth flow and deep shadows, usually made by multiply layer. Thin lines don't matter if they're too stiff.

Got sorta decent at drawing, then stopped working at it when I got a stable but time consuming job. Now 39 and haven't drawn regularly in over 10 years, just occasionally sketching bullshit.

I started off as a fan of comics, I really enjoy Jerome Opena, Olivier Coipel, and James Harren among current artists. Then I got into old school concept guys like Iain McCaig, Akihiko Yoshida. Also like some manga artists like Terada, Boichi, Hiroaki Samura, and Sakamoto Shinichi.

I'm a self taught artist I taught myself when to paint when I was about 14 and developed my own art style but then I had multiple paintings stolen from me and someone took credit for my art and got scholarships for the paintings to improve their skills

I don't know you or your exact situation, but these things helped me to develop good art habits:

Exercise every day. Get moving, do some pushups and squats, try to train your grip strength. You don't have to do anything crazy, don't need to join a gym or buy weights, just get your blood pumping for 20 minutes. Go jog, ride a bike, whatever. It helps the brain.

Stop eating shitty food. You don't have to eat nothing but kale and quinoa, but for god's sake don't eat candy and pizza and soda all the time. You'll feel better all day with two eggs and some bacon for breakfast instead of a hot pocket and a red bull.

Get off the internet for most of your day. Seriously, limit yourself to like an hour, maybe two. I personally would always try to justify my internet usage, saying I needed it for gathering reference or looking up tutorials or getting critique, but the reality was I was just using it to avoid studying and learning. Use it at a time that's most convenient for you, but limit yourself all the same. That goes for your phone, too. Try to keep distractions to a minimum while you're working.

Give yourself a direction you want to take your work. Set goals and deadlines for yourself, and punish yourself accordingly when you fail. Don't overdo the punishment, though; don't tell yourself you're shit or take away all leisure time because you think you're a retard or whatever. Just remember that you're trying to get better, and if you missed a deadline, it's because you wasted your time somewhere else--cut down your leisure times accordingly, and do better next time.

In the end, if you want to focus on getting better, it's all about making realistic schedules and building discipline.

wow thanks a lot man, really good advice here. I agree with everything you said. Big props to giving serious long advice here.
I try to keep up a healthy lifestyle but i fall off of it whenever i get depressed, gotta try to make being healthy a normal thing instead of a "unusually good" thing. The part about the setting deadlines for myself and punishing when i fail is a thing i didn't think of that much. I think i let myself off the hook too easily whenever i fail my commissions. thanks again for the advice m8

He was a nigger so...
My art style was fairly unique mostly big simple strokes and little color blending
Paint the picture and put as much key details with as few paint strokes as possible and make it clean
Unless I felt like painting something crazy then i would make it pretty elaborate
I painted a green fairy under a fern but it was like a savage native fairy armed with a spear and the plant looked poisonous
The woods in the background looked like a bog that could kill you
I even painted my name right on the painting big enough to not be covered over and on the back of the right where the fairy was so it couldn't be stolen easily and it got stolen anyway by the same nigger
He painted black over the back and cut out the center of the painting to get rid of both of my names and made some convenient excuse

>Larping this hard
You did this art and had it available for a wannabe artist to steal and never had any witnesses who had seen your work to attest to it? Did he watch you in paint seclusion through your window and hatch his plot to get a scholarship? You had the ability to produce this work but not to do new work showing your fundamentals and talent? Anyone could tell they were stolen if you could reproduce the brushwork and the thief couldn't. Plus, art schools don't give a shit if your art is derivative if you show the skill. Your whole story is ridiculous.

No actually I painted it in my single bedroom dorm room which was on very liberal college campus
There were security cameras on all floors of every building but those cameras were operated by students overseen by staff
If you wanted your work graded you had to put it on public display as public art for it to be seen by staff and if It hadn't been graded yet anyone could take it down because it wasn't recognized as student artwork
If it got graded the art would be put in display in another section of the school as student art and whoever made it got credit for it and the reputation for making it
I had to put it on display then leave for class
I'd come back from class my artwork would be gone
Another student would be talking to someone about my art and taking credit for it
I'd ask security wtf happen they would say sorry we deleted our security footage because we didn't see anything criminal happen and were not gonna arrest and ruin the reputation of a good boy who dindunuffin just cause he took your painting
You can't do shit in that kind of situation

The majority of artists I follow are porn or pin up artists. The majority of shit I've drawn so far in my life are girls. I didn't want this when I was a child. I wanted to draw cool niggas doing cool shit. Now all I see and think is porn. Drawing dudes was a after thought until now. I see an artist upload some cool shit on my feed but if there's a drawing of a girl right beside it, I have to actively resist the urge to click on the girl in order to see the cool shit. I'm too immersed in the porn. Fucking dumb stupid retarded monkey brain.

Is there a point? Should I give up?
Also everything I posted was fanart of something that's currently relevant so there is no excuse.

Ahh I do know what you mean, I’ve always hoped to just post art and somehow end up noticed but it just doesn’t work that way :( in the captions of your posts it seems endearing to be slightly self deprecating ? Not in an overly pessimistic way but in a lighthearted-making-fun-of-yourself kind of way. I always try to be positive and use some emojis to be expressive in my captions, just so they have a specific cute tone. You can also just say some casual opinions about your day to day life, for example, when posting fanart you can comment on how you recently got into whatever it is you’re posting about, say how you hate or like some characters because being opinionated will encourage viewers to agree or disagree with you <3

Every time. Every fucking time I try to draw something I just repeat the same exact shit I always do and I can't break away from this. I might get something interesting in the sketching phase, but the more I refine it, the more it regresses back to what I always do. It's driving me mad and I've scrapped dozens of pics altogether because it'd just be the same shit again.

Nah, I guess you could call it my style but when it's the bad things about "my style" it's still a problem that I can't get rid of them. It's stuff like poses and the way I draw bodies and the problem is that I'd like to branch out and diversify what I can do. I unintentionally just go back to the familiar and safe, same shit I always do. I've noticed that I can break out of this by drawing with limited tools like mspaint or a binary brush, because it forces me to do something different and I can't just fall back to the same crutches I usually go for, but whenever I try to use a "serious" brush again it always goes back to the same old shit. I basically have the option to draw better than my usual oekaki, or the same old shit.

Do you mind posting examples of your work ? In my opinion it’s ok to practice things within your comfort zone just for fun, if you’re noticing an annoying repetitive pattern within your drawings then the next step would be to work against it. I understand you, you want to draw with fluid movements that are natural to you but when you do the end result just looks like a carbon copy of your other works. Try getting inspiration from other artists and make some quick copies of their work, if you increase your visual library then there’s a higher chance of diversity in your art

That bowsette shit was fucking gay. Don't jump on shitty bandwagons that you don't feel passionate about just because you think it might get you some followers. Remember that millions of other artists were doing the same thing what that bowsette garbage was blowing up, so there was no reason for you to stand out for doing the same thing.

i did over 1200 drawings in the last 8 months in some kind of manic autistic frenzy to try and get back the only boy i ever really cared about. no that doesn't make any sense but it was easier than admitting he's probably never coming back. without him i don't have any drive left or any reason to keep drawing.

Tons of crappy accounts on Instagram, Twitter or whatever gets thousands of followers when i barely gain a few of them. Fuck. I mean, i know my art is deeply flawed and i have a lot to learn, but i think my characters designs are still original, i mean, most of the stuff i see when i scroll between artists could have been done by any of them, with a few exceptions.
But i don't get how to gain more followers. I see people farting and getting a ton of likes and replies. But even when i suck up to trends and get (rarely) hundreds of likes and retweet, i barely win 2 or 3 followers in the process, maybe less. Often i see people starting to follow me and yet my count remains equal or lower than before, meaning some of them left, because i didn't followback or some shit.
It's just so tiresome and depressing, to do shit without anyone looking at them.

People with tons of follows will have a lot of likes on meaningless post because they already have toma of followers from thw other stuff they post.

That's quite logical, i just wonder how in hell some of these people got big in the first place.

Not my case, i do different stuff because that's what i want to tell people about. I'm not looking for snowflakes, just cool and interesting characters that have things to say.
>They care about things that they like.
Yeah, this i get. Most people don't care about things they're not already acquainted with. I definitely have to dilute more mainstream stuff with my other works otherwise I'll scare people off.

I play video games and or browse 4chan for hours instead of drawing. I draw when i have other responsibilities or don't want to play video games I said I would play, anime/manga backlog, etc. Everything I do is a form of procrastinating to not do something else. This has been going on since age 14. Oh yeah, I also draw almost entirely for attention. That's why I only get shit done consistently when I drawfag. Haven't drawn shit ever since I stopped besides a bunch of shitty sketches which I immediately delete afterwards instead of saving or scanning if they were done traditionally.

I always wanted to draw and create art but never gathered the courage and discipline to do it. But now after some years I finally managed to get in the mindset and finally commit to it. I'm liking it and seeing improvement, but the problem is I can't see my objectives anymore. If someone were to ask "why do you draw, anon?" I would simply reply "I don't know." It's like I lost the spark but in exchange gained the discipline and willpower. Now I draw with hope that in the future that spark comes back and I can finally see a goal.

maybe this isn't what you want to hear anon, but it's what i wish someone told me when i was starting out. don't worry about the money side of things yet. you're improving at a really good rate & starting to do work that other drawfags can appreciate, but when it comes to being at a viable level to get good jobs, you're not there yet. lowballing yourself wont solve that problem. at best, it'll net you some of the shittiest clients imaginable and just cause you misery while taking away focus from the kind of work that will actually make you better. you're pretty young, so unless your situation is really unstable and you *need* money to live (and have a disability or something that prevents normal forms of employment because let's face it, you can't eat on those prices), just take advantage of the fact that you have a while to focus entirely on learning & having fun before this has to turn into a job. don't get discouraged, art is fucking hard and making money with it is even harder. i completely believe you have what it takes to reach that point, just not yet.

that number can mean a lot of different things especially on a generalist platform like insta. there's big difference between people who can be assed to click the follow button, other drawfags who give you some small level of engagement and actual paying clients.

How does everyone else improve so much faster than me? I don't know what's wrong with me every time I pick up my pencil and try drawing it feels awful. I know whatever I make is bad. I know whatever practice I do will look bad. Gestures, circles, boxes, lines, studies, no matter what it will look bad. Why does everyone else's stuff look good. What am I missing? Is it talent?

not a coincidence that these threads popped up for the first time in summer 2017, same time this board got pussified and weeb'd up.

now its all "dude CRABS hahaha get it" and people refusing to post work after being called out or going "you first", people like nosebro and illustrat, jiimmy, and brian shitting the place up with their attention seeking massive egos

"Please stop posting things I don't like on my board! You're the one telling people to go away"
All I said was grow up. If you think something as little as venting means someone doesn't draw or they don't work hard, you need to grow up or stop being a one-trick pony because people can do multiple things at once, you whiny bitch.

You don't have to leave or go away. Just realize you're a whiny bitch who can't handle things he doesn't like, which also requires you to grow up and understand that things you don't like won't go away if you cry like a bitch every time they show up. Luckily this is the venting thread so you're free to. As long as you're aware that you're whining, which doesn't seem to be the case. The same can't be said for others, since that's the point of this thread.
If you can't handle it get off the internet.

I don’t want to be looked down on for being a westerner drawing anime, but it can have the perfect balance of appeal and realistic body proportions. I haven’t really drawn anime intentionally, but my art seems to curving more toward it the more it refines itself. Again, you can have the expressiveness and emotion that appeal-heavy art does, while also having the flexibility for realistic action.
My interest is animation, specifically action, so being able to get a grip on both of those things is really important to me. I just want to have a balance between not being a copycat weeb, but also feeling free to use what works for my art.

Dude you just have to learn to enjoy art, pause for a second with grinding fundies, and just draw something that makes you happy- it can be the most self indulgent shit possible like drawing yourself as a cool character. As long as what you actually like the subject you’re drawing, it should get you into art again

Im really furious it requies some time for me to warm up to making good stuff. I catching myself at drawing absolute shit, making constant breaks at morning - afternoon.

I'm not expert (especially on nsfw stuff) but some points I would say to work on is the boob placement. The boob on the left looks a bit too far to the right. The hand needs some work. The leg on the right looks a bit too thin and your lines are a bit shaky. It aint bad though. Do you hve any other art examples?
