My uni courses are starting soon and I have a full schedule. Really sad that I wont be able to grind the whole day anymore. Maybe I’ll draw while I’m doing online courses? The lectures are kinda boring anyway. Who knows.

Social media is exhausting. I hate interacting with people. Do people actually like artists who tweet about their daily life? I've gotten a good 6k from just tweeting art maybe once or twice a week but that took like 3 years. I've seen other artists gain more in shorter time because they tweet so much and reply to everyone and it looks so exhausting.

I really really want to enjoy drawing digital like you guys seem to do, but it's honestly so hard. I'm a tradfag all my life and Everytime I get on my decade old ultrabook I just end up doing nothing for 2~3 hours. it's many things but I'll try to enumerate some of them, if you guys have any idea how to fix any of them I'll sincerely thank you for spending your time doing so.

-1:
Drawing overall feels way harder, since things idk, are less permanent? The flow gets ruined every time and I just don't seem to get ideas, since sketching on pc feels irrelevant or something, I wanna draw something more complete than a sketch and a feel lines of a character doing nothing, that's something I even struggle in analog drawing because I never do illustrations.

-2:
Never really am able to get lines how i do traditional somehow. It always takes so long to do lineart and it always looks worse than my analog counterparts, and it frustrates me a lot cause I always consider it to be one of my main charms, and I get lazy to just keep drawing because of problems I cited above

-3:
Idk how to study stuff like you guys do.
As in the cool portraits or the environment quick sketch that I see some of you do from a image, I mean I never tried because I don't have a image and because I can't eyeball but idk, I just feel like a failure whenever I'm drawing digital.

Pic related is one of my drawings.

why the fuck does everyone recommend loomis for heads so much?
Its completely unhelpful for any angle that isn't head on (anything from an above or lower angle doesnt work w/ loomis), and head on angles don't need a guide, it just comes with default human intuition
Am I just retarded? I don't see what I'm missing in the guides

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 5 02:30:00 2020 No.4844670 >>4844652 if you truly understood the construction on regular angled faces, it shouldnt be hard to push them to more aggressive angles. it means you dont understand loomis truly.

>>4844652
to elaborate more:
someone asks you to draw a cube from a “strange” angle.
you can draw said cube in a strange angle because you understand how perspective works. however, if you cant draw that cube from that angle and must look at a reference to do a 1 by 1 copy of.. you dont ACTUALLY know how to draw that cube.
its the same shit applied to a more “complicated” shape. and by complicated i mean not complicated at all because loomis is the MOST simplified version of a head.
such a beg question

I'm really fucking tired of seeing nig shit every time I get on twitter. I hate this blm shit. Blacks getting clout just for being black even though their work fucking sucks. How many Mario characters turned nig are we going to have to sit through? Like 8 tweets this week with 30k likes of blackwashed characters and now some shitter has 18k likes on a post chastising someone for "whitewashing" a Japanese MHA bunny girl character. The only black artists worth a shit that I follow now are Rob and Kainonaut because at least they were getting huge numbers before the blm mob blindly fired a bunch of nigger nobodies into clout stardom. I'm glad Rob finally shut the hell up about his personal life though. Man is more well off than 80% of /ic/ but is a huge crybaby.

>inb4 crab
you're damn right, I'm mad as fuck that these nobodies are reaching these heights with no effort at all except wahhhh i'm a black poc bisexual iguana content creator and i dont got no spotlight on my polished turds :'((( I've been busting my ass for months on twitter and instagram and I'm very active and still haven't broken 2,000 likes and black people get it literally just for being black right now. I don't care if I sound like /b/ or /pol/ or whatever, I'm just tired of niggers getting free pass by other niggers.

All of my artsy friends went to art schools and benefitted greatly from it. In /ic/ terms they, without a doubt, have ‘made it’. I’ve spent my life living for others, studying what others wanted before dropping out due to not getting my footing, doing what others wanted 24/7 at my own expense and I feel robbed. Now everyone tells me I should get my degree in X or Y or try to do X or Y job (that requires a bachelors), all I can do are shit jobs at my age and it sucks. Well I thought about necking myself for that and a few other reasons but I’m going to do the next best thing and take out a loan to go back to undergrad school. For art. Fuck everyone and they can suck my dick and go to hell I don’t care anymore. I’ll indulge in this one stupid selfish dream for once before I die. At least I can show I got a college degree on my goddamn resume.

Poor posture? When you sit, are you resting your arm on the table? Does doing so push your shoulder up higher than if you were sitting with your hands hanging by your side? Are you flexing and overreaching while hunching over your paper? Might also be gripping and tending your hand/arm too much.

ok here we go, on blackout tuesday my whole IG feed was full of black squares. it freaked me out. this is a black supremacist communist terrorist group. they have been rioting over a lie for more than 3 months while communist mayors and governors allow it to happen.

that day i unfollowed over 200 artists including kim jung gi, proko and carl kopinski.

ever since then, every artist i like, i have to scroll throgh their work to the end of may or beginning of june. if they have that commie blm bullshit i won't follow.

recently i've seen some of them try to memory whole their treasonous anti-white bullshit. they are regretting now. But they won't say they were wrong. they just try to sneak and slither away and pretend it never happened. I hope they all suffer and die horrible painful deaths. If you pull shit like that, you're a disgusting horrible person and I fucking hate you.

I've been feeling incredibly tired and depressed lately and I can't get my brain to work right for drawing. It's like slogging through mud, or squeezing blood from a turnip. My synapses just aren't firing. A lot if it is because of sleep deprivation due to my shitty work schedule and other life obligations colliding, but that isn't all of it. I'm horribly depressed and have almost no physical, emotional or mental energy. I'm drained and tired all the time and I have to pound down ridiculous amounts of caffeine every day just to be able to function.
After fapping I seem to feel better for a little bit and my brain gets kicked back into gear for a short time, could it be that I have a testosterone deficiency? Would it help if I took up an exercise regimen? I just want to feel happy again, feel motivated to better myself. I want to live, bros.

No probs. As you get older you realize you can’t get away with bad habits like you used to. My arm used to cramp a lot and I did some research into proper sitting posture and realized I was slightly pushing my shoulder out of alignment due to resting my arm on a table that was too high. Try to do some wrist and arm flexor stretches so you don’t get carpal tunnel after long drawing sessions and you’ll be good.

I've been trying to get into art seriously for years now and every time my determination fades away within two weeks. Every time I do the exercises, spend hours a day practicing straight lines, boxes, and curves before moving on to drawing still life, and it never sticks. I'm still practically an absolute beginner despite the dozen-something false starts I've got under my belt by now.

The thing is, I know what the problem is. The problem is it just isn't fun. It's not fun copying things all day, and it's not fun drawing boxes all day, but the reason I want to learn how to draw is to supplement my writing, which is my main hobby. I'd love to be able to draw things from my own writing, but that just seems impossible at my level, and every attempt to draw from my imagination has offended my sensibilities on an instinctual level. Yet, because I can't draw anything I'm actually interested in, I can't maintain any interest in it, so I just get discouraged and quit, and because I get discouraged and quit, I can't get any better at it. It's a classic Catch-22.

So I'm left here wondering if my psyche is just so incompatible with drawing as a hobby that it's a fruitless endeavor, or if there's some peak on this mountain where I'll eventually gets so good at drawing boxes I'll be able to construct something half-way decent.

the fuck are you doing?
you can learn all that shit through still lifes, solid drawing and contour drawing from life or even just working with model sheets. why would you ever just draw a bunch of random cubes for an hour? find something you WANT to draw and deconstruct it into cubes, spheres cylinders etc...

oh and i guess i'll add the caveat of if you really want to practice line control, weight etc... just keep a sketchpad by your bed and do that shit while you fall asleep or watch movies. but the whole idea that you need to learn to draw before you start drawing anything is retarded. just stop being afraid of doing bad drawings

Drawing just... isn't fun. Not when you don't have skill. The only reason I got into drawing and put in the crazy amount of hours to go from zero to something passable was because I was slowly being alienated and ghosted from my core friend group and I wanted a reason to be proud of myself. It was pure pride really. But all those hours and hours of drawing isolated me from everyone, and now whatever little connections I had with my former "best friends" are now gone forever. I've made an ass out of myself. And I have nothing.

Drawing is going to take up a crazy amount of your time. Wayy more then you think it will. Multiply it by 10. If you're not having fun then stop drawing, for your own sanity.

I just turned thirty and I haven't drawn in weeks.

I hate my job and my only way out is through art, but I keep failing to put the time in.

I still live at home and I've turned a spare bedroom into a studio, but my family keeps going in there using it for other shit. The vibe in that room is fucked and keeps me away.

I'm strongly considering investing in a pen display to make art more convenient and perhaps a little more fun.

I know this is all excuse making, but I just can't figure out why I'm not drawing.

I've been spending a lot of time and money on guitar recently. Guitar makes me feel light and happy in a way drawing never does, because I put zero pressure on myself to succeed. When I struggle to play something it doesn't depress me or discourage me. At the same time, I get zero creative satisfaction out of it, and it does nothing to exorcise the hunger to create. Only drawing does that.

Ten years ago I thought I would have made it by now and that depresses the fucking hell out of me.

It feels like in anything I do I can only get halfway there.

For some reason, Snapchat started reinstalling itself on my device by accident, or maybe I might have clicked reinstall without realizing it. I opened it up and logged in, out of curiosity. I saw a long list of names of so called ‘friends’, and I realized something when I looked over it, looking over where they’ve come since I last spoke to any of those fools. It’s that I never really liked a single one of them, but by some cruel twist of fate, I never had the means to live as I wanted. And so, all those snobby pricks, they inspire me, to go further as a human being than anyone else can. I absolutely won’t settle for being an average little loser like those fools will, and I will see to it that I get what I deserve, no matter the number of tears shed or the hours spent in anxiety and tension. It’s a small sacrifice to make.

Frustrating to see a mediocre-but-popular artist say people who don't get as many views aren't getting views because they're not good at art. There are plenty of better artists than this person who are lesser known and I always see art with broken anatomy getting hundreds or even thousands of likes. It's not based entirely on skill, more like whether you draw something that appeals to people or not.

i decided to try coomer art this week. i made a pixiv and drew and uploaded 7 pictures in 2 days. i have probably jerked off more than 30 times. i dont even feel it anymore. i dont know why i even do it. its just a compulsion every couple hours. i am SO ashamed of my coomer drawings or rather i hate that i have these fetishes. i want to just be a normal person. i want to not have embarrassing secrets. why does something i find horrible make my dick hard? why do i need to jerk off so many time a day? why can't it just be cute girls? if i didnt have to deal with this, i think everything in my life would get better including my art. sad thing is in 2 days the coomer account is already giving my vanilla account which has been up for 2 years a serious run for it's money. i guess it's a niche. people are searching for these hashtags and they forgive technical errors because the content is pretty rare. clearly i struck a cord for a decent number of people. Compared to ig, i just draw portraits and everyday normal stuff. no one cares about it. i rarely crack 10 likes. they are pity likes from friends.

so now i think i could probably monetize my porn. but not the art ive been trying so hard to make.

i really thought if i got the shit out of my system and onto paper maybe i would be able to focus on other things. no it was the opposite. now im just getting more ideas and spending more time drawing porn and jerking off with this fucking smut. And now im afraid someone will see them. before this i never hid any of my drawings. now i have another secret that i have to hide.

I started reading Loomis, and he said "Now go learn all the anatomy of the human body" and I was like "OK, I'll be right back" and it's been A MONTH AND THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT. I'm never going to finish my first Loomis book and Anon is going to see my artwork and post "L O O M I S" and I'm going to go cry myself to sleep!

I simply dont know where I stand in terms of art
I cant draw digital for shit, I dont understand what the term "drawing with the shoulder" means, even simple tutorials seem brutal to me, I also spill anatomy all over when it comes to poses and struggle with different body types
there is so much I struggle with, I keep feeling discouraged with all of this and my head sometimes blocks entirely from trying to understand it, maybe its due to Loomis but its such an uninteresting boring book...

Yes. Your crying about some people that you liked having a different opinion then you, equating it to treason, the highest level of crime of most countries. While people that are rioting have probably grown up in shit they're entire lives, then had the little money that they had coming in blown away by the pandemic.

You could understand that people are just fucking mad about the situation ontop of seeing people like them getting killed by a perceived enemy.

But (You) and people all over have been collectively pissing they're pants because people have different ideals. You could of just turned social media off for three days, but you have to cry, cry and cry about how you had to stop following people because they posted a handful of things supporting something.

Good job but you're making it harder than it has to be. Your hand can still touch the paper. It doesn't have to hover in the air above the pencil, that'll just make your arm tired. Main thing is keeping your elbow off the table

That is the answer. Dont worry about anything else and just draw my nigga. Imo youre better off doing your own thing and not listening to advice, trying to read books or studying bullshit etc. Literally just draw and try new things out and you'll get better with time. Art is 100% something you can only self teach, no amount of reading or studying is going to do anything and no one can teach you how to do it.

I feel so trapped

I want to draw more, but I'm stuck living with my parents, and its a toxic household. I recently just graduated from college, but have been unable to find a job because of covid and I've been doing unreliable gig work like doordash, where I barely make enough for some personal expenses. I need a way out of this hell.

Many times I've been so wracked with anxiety that my is going to burst in through my bedroom door to yell at me and accuse me of playing video games when I'm drawing, that I can't even draw a proper box. I'm afraid to leave my own bedroom because I'm afraid that my mom is going to yell at me for not majoring in computer science and getting a job at google. She thinks that having a CS degree = automatic job at a big tech company making 6 figures right out of school. She's been expecting me to get a job so I can pay her mortgage for a house that I don't even want.

Also, my dad sometimes spies on me through my bedroom window because he also accuses me of playing video games.

I need out

I've been thinking about enlisting in the army, at least from there I can get some job experience, training and some money.

If you're serious about joining the military then do it. Look up where your local recruitment office is and schedule an appointment without your parents knowledge so you can leave everything behind without a trace. I grew up in an abusive household and did the same and it was the best decision of my life. Military will give you direction and fill the empty void whether you like it or not. And in my own honest opinion, join the Airforce.

and here i am sitting on 4chan after pouring hours and years into this shit, but i'm not drawing, i'm not building a following, i'm not doing anything
i have dedicated more of my life to the pursuit of art than the half dozen or so self-proclaimed artists i know, and i don't have anything to show for it because it'll never fucking be good enough for the light of day

fuck skill, guys. it doesn't matter in the year of our ecommerce capitalist lord 2020
literally just do something. do anything. everyone's on the internet and there are at least 1000 people on planet earth who will inexplicably love anything you shit out and that's all you need to be successful.

I was born irrelevant, like most people on earth, a complete no one, irrelevant place, irrelevant family, irrelevant name, nothing.
I sjpuld be more practical, I'm enjoying art yet I don't think a person like me can make it, no matter how good ai get at it but I also want do to do it because I like it, I want to share things with the world, in a way I have a very unique worldview, Picasso was in skill, a one time event, Da vinci too, I'm not comparing myself to them skillwise but I understand the numbers behind them, if I had their skill I'd be a one time event for sure, yet I know how life goes, I know that a person like me is jist holding onto a pipe dream, maybe after my death I'll be moticed or I luck out and in a future my art matters but I dont know. Childish as it might be this page always hit me hard, only thing ive seen of it really but its how I always feel regarding who I am and where I come from, regarding how the world sees me.

kek, well if it makes you feel better, if they were indoors then i'd assume they're solitary bees or something, who just mate monogamously and don't have a hive.
with honey bees, the queen goes on one short flight and gets absolutely gangbanged for a few minutes and inseminated with a lifetime supply of jizm, then goes home and never mates again. so i doubt she'd risk travelling far enough to accidentally end up on someone's floor.

so ive been drawing my fetishes/sexual fantasies the last few days. and i have a few observations.

1), in the beginning i thought there were hundreds of ideas in my head, and after 3 days i got about 10 of them on paper and im tapped out.

anything beyond this point will be variations of things ive already drawn, different sex positions, different outfits but basically it was way simpler than i thought.

and i didn't have to make multiple panels or an entire comic book. most of it can be represented with 1 or 2 pictures.

2) my artwork got about a 1000 times better in 3 days by drawing naked people over and over completely from memory with an emphasis on perspective. i can see what the hips and rib cage and feet look like before i even start. proportion is coming WAY easier, muscle contours are becoming intuitive.

i never had a day before this where i sat and drew so many pictures so focused for so many hours.

i like drawing SFW stuff, but nothing can compare to a sexual fantasy. nothing will motivate you or retain your focus like this.

think about it this way, half way through jerking off and watching porn, have you ever gotten sidetracked and gone to do something else?

imagine if you had that level of immersion while studying something.

Also, i made a pixiv, and i was good about the tags because i know how i find what im looking for, and i very quickly gained a lot of views, a decent amount of followers, likes and bookmarks.

im wondering if i will have any influence. what if an artist i like notices and likes my work? what if they draw one of my concepts in their style?

i gained a huge amount of momentum in my confidence so i cant recommend enough that you give it a try, and i dont mean like... normal sex, i mean the weird shit that you dont tell people you are into.

after november covid will magically disappear. just hold out a bit longer. after that i suggest one of 2 things. Either, go to a trade school to be a welder or go to japan to teach english. being an english teacher in japan you dont make much, maybe like 30-35k a year. the further from the city you are, the more you can save but it still won't be much and afterward unless you marry a japanese girl, youll have to just go back to america and start over anyway, but itd be a fun few years of man-childing out. if you wanna just straight into being an adult and making good money, go the welding route. Take the weld pill.

after college i didn't want to go teach in japan because i already spoke the language. i thought i had a leg up on other foreigners. i thought i could get a normal job office job over there. that turned out to be a fucking absolute nightmare, and i ended up just giving up on the whole thing, and getting a warehouse job, gradually working my way up to a white collar position that i hate but afforded me enough to move out and get my own place and a new car.

good luck anon.

I can’t stop feeling like a worthless failure seeing artists younger than me who are way better no matter how hard I try to get over it. I can’t stand the injustice of young artists happily living their lives being able to draw every day in peace with lots of motivation while I’ve spent my teenagehood depressed and developing schizophrenia. I’ve greatly recovered using trazodone and lemonbalm (sic) but I can’t stop thinking about where I should have been at the moment. The biggest nutjob times were also when my art had the biggest value in my eyes although it was edgy chaotic scribbling. I’ve sacrificed any originality and <soul> to start drawing anime and I’m starting to get popular, but my style has become a copycat of other artists and there is nothing “mine” in it anymore. I’m looking at my 2015 stuff and think I can never achieve the same vibe anymore because it won’t be honest as I’m not in psychosis. Also, I’m not as much of an unlikeable whiny piece of shit on social media, I let everything out so I don’t do it there, whiny pathetic schizo who pretends they’re not schizo doesn’t sell. Anyways, your mental health can really turn around even if you’re in a really dark place, draw all day so you won’t have time to think.

You’re pretty good to me.
