you won’t, because you’ll spend time drawing porn instead of those “other things”
think how long it will take you to get to the point of being good with porn, then consider the time you’d need to invest into all the other shit
you’ll either be a successful and productive porn artist or you’ll be getting better at drawing other shit, you can’t have both

[Anonymous No.4981261]

>>4981236
You don't get it. There's a certain threshold in coom art. A lot of the popular coomartists reach a plateau where they easily draw girls & guys with the same bodytype, the same outlining, shading and such. Once you reach that plateau and have enough bux, you don't need to train much in drawing porn. It wont take forever

unless we have a very different idea of what profitable porn art looks like, you would need to spend your days drawing said porn, it’s not something you finish in two hours
there’s also the matter of muscle memory and habit, if you spend years “easily drawing gurls and guys with the same bodytype”, it will mar your other work, there is no way around it. you can’t repeat the same thing daily and not have it become a part of your process

[Anonymous No.4981305]

>>4981280
Depends on your efficiency. I draw weebshit. The most popular, efficient, and flexible artstyles exists in the manga i read. A lot of artists start from porn and move to other genres. Its very possible to be efficient in drawing manga as it simplifies a lot of details and basically no color if you're drawing a page.

You're just reluctant to learn. Youre better at telling yourself why you shouldn't do this or that but not looking at the opportunities. Unless youre 70 years old you can always learn new techniques

if you mean pseudo animu, that’s one thing, if you mean manga, and I assume you do since you mentioned no colors and drawing pages, that is not going to fly on the western porn market, and it won’t fly in the japanese market either because they have genuine manga porn and you’re a foreign imitation

Pin-up art. Normies mainly pay artists on patreon for essentially pin-ups.

You said that drawing porn is an exclusive choice, sure if thats all you wanna do. But don't you don't even take into measure that drawing porn is not an exclusive skill. Theres proportion, movement, fluid dynamics(cum), and clothing depending on the setting of your smut. Drawing those in porn and in "another thing" is very possible. See this piece by shadman. If you dont know already, he draws porn mainly

Contempt.
I enjoy the idea of making the very best things I can and keeping these things from people. I don't upload anywhere, or show my work to anyone, and I will make sure none of my work survives me.
People would tell me to draw "for fun", "for passion" etc. so that's what I do. People told me I should just have a day job while I make my art for "passion". Then my day job is all I will contribute to society. Nobody will get to see a sketch. The same public who dismissed me as someone who's driven "not by art but by greed" when I only wanted money so I could dedicate myself fully to art, will pay easily for low effort porn and other garbage that is made from the ground up to make money, by people who don't have an ounce of passion or voice in themselves.
So you know what? If this is what people want, I'll just let them have that. I hope they choke on it.
If I manage to make anyone upset with my "selfishness" or to make them simmer and say "y-your work is probably shit!" while they actually wonder if my work is actually any good and they might be missing out on something, that's all the satisfaction I need. I finish a piece and if I'm particularly happy with it I think "it's wonderful that none of these stupid fucks will get to see this". It's my fucking hoard, it's my treasure, it's my private fucking garden and I enjoy every second of watching people swallow excrement from my porch while I make better and better things that they will never touch and soil. All that society will ever get from me is my shitty day job. I will not "enhance" the lives of any of these thankless freeloading animals and it's the sweetest revenge.

Huh, I’m almost the same as you.
I don’t upload anywhere my ongoing comic (200+ pages counting), I will make only 3 copies, and only my mom (with my dad if he wants to but he hates reading), my godfather and a good friend will read it.
Reason is, I don’t want any pressure to please other people. I just want to draw whatever I feel like it, and most importantly, give life to my characters.

No, that's not remotely similar. If I were in your position I would probably quit art as there would be nothing to motivate me. It's depriving this shitty undeserving humanity of potential happiness, emotion or inspiration that pushes me to work harder and pour all of myself into what I do. There's the faint hope (I know it will never happen, but I allow myself to have this almost religious faith) that the public will one day get sick and tired of pornography and corporate garbage, what if I found them on their knees, telling me that they finally need the stuff they told me to do "for passion" while they gave hacks and mercenaries money and I had to work a shitty day job I hated? The whole point of making art for me is having a backlog of the very best art I can make exactly for that moment, only to tell them NO, you won't have any of it. They don't need to know what I make, and they'll probably think my grapes are sour, this is only for me and me alone, I need to know how much value I have taken from their lives. So just like the garden I'm building is mine, my concern for making beautiful things is all for me and me alone, and just like people will only get my day job, to them I only reserve my grudge. It's what they wanted from me and I will stand by this deal to the letter.

[Anonymous No.4988139]

nothing these days. i've been motivated by things in the past. first it was the desire to express myself through art, then it was to impress people with skills. I fell in love and the motivation became impressing the girl of my dreams. we got together and my motivation became making money. then we broke up at the start of this year and it broke my heart. i haven't had any motivation since, despite it being the only way i have to make money. I guess this is what the kids call depression.

My day to day, chosen profession is something that I love, but it won't bring in enough dough when my wife start having kids down the road. Eventually having a second source of income to survive and support the ones I love is a fierce motivation. I love art, but the driving motivator that will determine whether or not you will continue to study art seriously in the midst of a busy and tired schedule, or if you will try and stop after a month (every time), is if you MUST do it.

You can do this. In fact, you must do this. More than just an economic reality driving you, not making art is more painful than making art. There is a part of me and of you which MUST make art.

Art is fun. I don't care about improving or comparing myself to other artists because comparing myself won't make my art improve.

Now I literally JUST DRAW. That's it. I don't watch tutorials or youtubers. I just practice using reference and that's it.

Plus I want to make my own comics and stories. Drawing my own OCs is all that matters to me.
