If you're on a break after drawing and feel like sharing what's on your mind about what you're working on, the industry, things that excite you about art, or anything that frustrates you about drawing or the process of art then grab a cup of water and chill out here. Remember to keep the discussion on-topic as much as possible.

Currently working on a drawing, but I also applied to a wagie job.
Currently going through background checks, and I’m anxious over the second potential interview.
As a result, my drawing process has been less than satisfactory.
Idk if I should even finish this drawing, or put it on pause until I can confirm I got the job.

Decided I’m gonna sign up for an art class. Just after hours professional development at a local college.

Honestly 80% of the reason is I wanna get a cute art gf. But itd be nice to get some formal training I think.
Biggest downside is the classes they have are very limited and mostly beg focused. So I can only really take so many before they’re all out. (Like 4 classes of value)

Maybe I’ll see if I can audit an actual art college nearby but that’ll be harder to pull

Every time an artist I follow makes a post or posts on their "story" that they're in a relationship, I unfollow. Men, women, doesn't matter. I don't give a shit what you guys are having for dinner or where you're travelling to now, I'm here for art and if you deviate from that norm then I'm leaving. I never give a second chance either, because if you see it once you're 100% gonna see it again and again. You could argue that "oh anon it's because you're jealous", yeah you're absolutely right and art is my escape from that. Don't take that away from me and I won't take away one of your "follows".

Guys I want to get something off my chest

I've genuinely seen huge improvement via using AI

The way I use it doesn't feel like cheating though

>be me
>find a reference
>draw, refine and add base colour
>get to the point I'm happy
>take image put image into AI hell machine
>img2img it on a 0.3 blur (meaning it will use the majority of my picture to find flaws)
>get a batch of 5 images
>find my favorite one
>highlight hands and have them regenerated if they are fucked up
> take image back into CSP
Here's the important part
>go back to step 1 using new image as reference and repeat until I've improved

I basically use AI as a redline tool - and because the process is so quick I can draw all day

Earlier last year I started my uni break and I decided to pick up drawing. Did the Drawabox meme for 3 months half assed felt like it got nowhere by the time I got to construction and just said fuck it and I was back at uni again. I'm on my midsem break and I'm doing keys now. It's a lot more fun, and really makes me think if I need to do DAB at all when I could have just watched a few videos on basic perspective to get the gist of it. Oh well, just time lost. I'm gonna get there, one day

You're fucking yourself over trying to imitate a machine that will always do what you're doing, but better, faster, and at a higher output instead of focusing on improving in areas that actually matter. Why the fuck are you even drawing at all if your goal is to be like AI which will always make generic shit faster than you. Don't you have favorite artists to study from?
>it doesn't feel like cheating
Glad you're feeling good? You're still doing yourself a huge disservice.

Always feels like I'm running out of time but I'm not that old, I just hope I make the most out of my time alive because I've already wasted a fuck ton of but then I look into the future and realize how much more time there is assuming I even make it past 60. Nowadays I'm just trying to fill my time with stuff to do, as long as I know more than I did yesterday then that's a win for me.

Sorry, no vent thread but have to post this somewhere.
The single most toxic person I’ve ever known is coming to live with me for probably forever.
last time they did this, they never left my house for even a minute, for anything.
they managed to never leave by calling delivery on everything, so the only moments i didn’t have to be physically right next to them was when i ran from my own house.
but my desktop workstation is permanently constructed a few feet from where they reigned last time, and i can’t afford to buy something mobile or rent a space some nebulous place else or do anything but survive off of what i’ve already managed to set up in the past,
so i will be drowning in just a day or two in their constant presence and feeling actively like i’d like to be roped and pulled apart by running horses every minute, in full spectrum, all day and night, for however many years and years it takes for them to decide to leave again.

yeah, family. heh, oh man, would probably backfire like fuel.
great thought, though. i wish i were brave enough to try it.
last time it was like i was permanently petrified, i physically even found it difficult not to breathe as evenly and silently as possible, every second, so as to not make them remember me there. i hurt so badly waking up, because i was clenched rigidly upright the whole time i was awake, without feeling at ease enough to make even micro shifts which was killing my muscles 24/7. i couldn’t make myself stop. oh hell.

funny you guessed their med thing, just rotated 180 degrees.
they scream over the phone at their doctors all the time, when they won’t given them sackfuls of prescription meds they heard are for a full gamut of things they both had and thought they might have because they clicked all their ads.
any meds in the house, even vitamins, disappear when they’re around.

just telling someone these things makes me shake a little less, but sorry for taking up so much space for a vent. will try to stop.

i just came in from working after stepping out for the first time since they got here and found them inside my bedroom in the dark with my door which i usually keep keyed and locked wide open.
goddamn. privacy is the single most important thing to me.

turned out they were going to arrive in a few days but got someone to pay for a fast flight to here even before they called me, so they were already here by your post.
all of the crazy things about living with them immediately reasserted themselves when they set up in front of by workstation. it looks like i’ll just have to deal with this. i can’t kick them out, now. they’re family. it’s stupid and it’s hell, but i can’t.

I got a better job since last year but I’m now remembering why I hate working in general. Not just because it takes up my time for a little money but because when I do something good or bring attention something important that should be thought about by the higher ups I get fucking ignored. It’s the worst feeling. I think I do something great and I get no recognition. During meetings I get no recognition no matter how hard I work and it’s always a dick sucking fest for an hour every week.

With art at least I could get recognized through social media and whatnot for things I enjoy. I just wish I didn’t have to work anymore as immature as that sounds.

I made it my goal to draw something at least once a week and I managed to stick to that goal for a while but my fire for drawing kinda died out and I ended up only drawing something once a month.

I still wanna draw but now I'm going months without actually drawing. I have some ideas on how to improve my art but it feels like the better I might be able to do the more I want to avoid actually trying at it

I'm afraid my writing will be worthless crap because I don't have enough life experience to draw upon.
Wanting to make something "real" puts me in a catch-22: If I write too much of what I know, it will just be depressing, pointless, and boring. Who the fuck would benefit from a story about Anon #56626 going about his normal life?
But, if I stray too far from the reality of my own experiences, I risk making yet another piece of cliche'd hyper-reality bullshit that misleads people about the world around them.

I guess the only way around this is to accept that I'm not going to write this generation's Illiad.

Because it's a long-term, unpredictable thing that takes time. I have been trying to "live life more" for the past few years and haven't been very successful. It's better to accept your flaws in the short term than beat yourself up for not meeting some vague standard.
I will be moving somewhere new to see if a change of scenery will get things going, but I'm not optimistic. Having close friends and intimate relationships (aka the bedrock of human experience) is pretty foreign to me.

Possibly. Looking back, I have done quite a few things in my personal life.
I guess when you've been struggling to get a healthy social life or a "thing"/brand going, any story involving relationships or building something cool seems unrealistic. It becomes hard to imagine how you get to "there" from "here" when you haven't achieved that in your own life.
I try to avoid power fantasies because indulging in them takes energy that could be spent actually improving yourself..

Found out a few months ago I had an iron deficiency. Since the age of 12 I was often lethargic, couldn't concentrate, and couldn't get much work done. Would sleep for 9 hours and still be tired through the day. After I've started taking iron suppliments that all gone. I've literally been drawing for 10 hours every day and still feel full of energy. It's great but I wish I'd discovered this sooner instead of in my late 20s.

Similar discovery for me last week. I went to the hospital for heart palpitations (pressure kept shooting up to 120 barely doing anything while standingsitting to as far as 130-170 just walking up the stairs) and the doctors just chalked it up to dehydration, which didn't really help. Then I bought some vitamin D, magnesium, and fish oil and the problem went away.

Not 100% since I just started taking them, but when I stand my heart rate no longer shoots over 100 for no reason and remains normal. I don't know why doctors don't suggest supplements more unless they just really don't give a shit about the majority of the patients unless a frail, young girl with a distressed mother.

Are good artists just always drawing good things or are they carefully choosing what they release? How do they get ideas to draw every day, do they know how to find good references?

And why does everything they draw look "the same" if that makes sense? Every time I draw, I'm trying to improve since I'm beg, so if it looks like last time then that's bad. I'm always trying to figure out HOW to draw a thing, but good artists are not drawing realistic things, they have their own signature symbol drawing. I can't actually find artists that keep their old stuff online so I can actually see the progression, their oldest stuff is always already perfect.

I'm probably /beg/ by ic standards but I've made crazy progress and non-artists have been calling my artwork good.

Having good references on hand is a bit important, but its super important during the learning process . After you've drawn something a hundred times and a hundred different ways you start to get a sense for what details you can leave out and what artistic flourishes you like adding, and this is where style comes from. Eventually the thing you are drawing gets burned into your mind and you wont need references.

In my case, basically everything that makes it past the sketching stage gets released, and whether or not something gets that far depends entirely on how interested I am in the idea.

The huge caveat is that I draw fetish stuff, so I'm drawing the same couple of things over and over again.

I am stuck in a constant state of seething that I'm not as good as artists with 20 years of experience and I just can't allow myself to feel any joy or self-worth until I'm at that level.
It's abstract self-constructed hell. Leeching off my parents and delaying my graduation as long as possible so I can draw all day. To absolutely no end. It's just technical grinding because I don't consider myself good enough to derive joy from art yet.

Holy hell my brain is just so tangled up with ego driven OCD tier behaviors surrounding art. I don't even fucking like art anymore. I hate drawing, It makes me angry, sad, and even if it makes me happy for a bit I'll immediately just shit on myself over whatever criteria I fall short of. I. Hate. Drawing. The only thing that feels even remotely cathartic is talking about just how much I fucking despise drawing.

I genuinely do not even remember why I started. I don't remember what I wanted to draw. It has taken on the character of an addiction and my north star is just "get good". I will be late for appointments, skip meals and not sleep just to put more time in. People will ask me if anything is wrong because it's quite evident that I'm in pain, and I'll just say that I'm fine because they simply can't understand the level of psychotic, fruitless, egotistical obsession I am undergoing. I will be out with friends, but I won't really be there. I'm in my head, and I'm going over the last session's fuckups, what I did wrong, the mean critiques I've gotten over the years, and so on.

I'm having fun and improving all the time.

I got into art a bit late in life after escaping a black hole of depression so I feel like I'm behind massively compared to people my age but discovering art made my life so much better and I'm finally happy. Just working on char design/anatomy/etc. Made some good friends in a server (not art related) so it's cool to have people to chill with. I'll keep studying and improving everyday.

It would be nice to have an art server with people who also want to improve but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

I don't know, I just feel like that sometimes, like a part of me wanting to stop feeling anxious about social network stuff and just going back to the old days when I was drawing stupid shit without a care in the world, but then I consider the possibility of using art for money in the near future and not waste the little presence I've gained over the last years. I already deleted a DeviantArt account long ago just after one year after getting bored with the site, I guess it's the same feeling now, but I'm curious now, how did you feel when you nuked your gallery back then?

I deleted my gallery for many reasons that I can't really explain right now. But it felt liberating when I finally deleted it. Not having to think everytime that I drew something if I was wasting my time on a drawing that would make me lose followers, not having to follow shitty trends or do drawings of mutual's OC for followers felt great.
But at the same time it was hard to get back to drawing without the reward that social media gives you. But I never got into art to be a "twitte artist". And now I can focus on actually improving and not just pumping garbage for likes.
I do miss doing commissions tho. Having the extra money was kinda nice.

Likes on social media aren't everything. There's plenty of great artists who get low sms engagement for a variety of reasons. Inconsistant posting, no fanart or meme engagement etc. Like count doesn't really say much per se.

Even if their art is worse than yours, pointing to their like count is probably the shallowest way to say that.

of course, if you're trying to ask "why aren't art schools teaching students how to network and game social media" though, that's a valid question...

Very interesting way of using AI. I can see myself using it do improve a meh drawing when I can no longer see where to improve it, or when I do a rough sketch because the final image isn't well defined in my head. There's no use trying to fight AI, technology will NEVER stop its progress, so I might as well turn it into a helper.

Why do I keep seeing this same fucking sentence or a variation of it every fucking week? It has to be the same imbicle talking about himself in third person. Nobody drove your ass out and why do you want to save the very people you hate by telling them to leave with you? You just said it here

>all of you

SO WHY in Gods name don't you
>leave

This board yourself? It's the same with discord threads every single week. Some fucktard makes a thread begging to go to a discord server because "I hate everyone here" and "btw everyone who I hate here, do you have a place where I can go so I can get away from you people I hate?". Joining a server with the SAME EXACT people you're talking down to.

What exactly is your goal here? To make this place a desolate wasteland until only 1 person remains? And then let's say after some time someone else walks on the board. Now there are 2 people. Will you come back from your "greener pastures" to shout at the 2 peo--sorry, the person who just walked on the board to leave it because "stubborn permabegs" drove (you) off the board and that you're totally (not here) right now?

Enough of this shit already.

I wish this shitty body wasn't acting up so I could do my shit when there was still hope. I am being physically ill from the constant stress that this thing brings me.

I'm so fucking done, and I can't even do the rational thing because I lack the mans and this body is too pain averse.

All I fucking do is go to work, draw, and jack off.
I spend so much time and energy at my job I barely have any for myself. I drag myself to my desk and I draw as much as I can before collapsing into bed for another day at work

If I go to the gym (something I don't enjoy) I end up with no energy to draw.
But if I don't my health steadily declines, I get back pain, lack breath, my wrists and arms flare up.

Everything is so much and so demanding all the fucking time. I just want to end myself.
Every time I crawl into my car for another day at my job I'm fucking screaming inside my head to kill myself.

drawing just feels like randomly putting down lines and hoping you get lucky. Is there a term for this hyper self awareness, like the opposite of flow state.

Slapping stock photos on a thumbnail isn't western, you have no idea how tacky Japanese YouTube is. It's like early 2010s YouTube mixed with their annoying daytime variety shows.
Most of his old advice videos are stream clips. He was never great at marketing himself but the past year or so he's been getting more polished, so it's probably just a result of him trying harder on that front.
He's got kids now and last time I saw him stream he talked about wanting to move to a bigger house so he's proabbly looking to get a more steady stream of income from YouTube. Being an animation jobber is hard work.

I think I need adhd meds or something. I'm 28, graduated, capable of a shit ton of stuff in my respective field but I can never stick to anything long enough to get it completed. I've spent the last year trying to transition away from 3D work to 2D work in hopes that quicker turnover rates for projects will help me get to end goals but it seems even with 2D I get very fixated and always find reasons to get out of my chair and not get the work done. I really can't function this way anymore. I've given up, I'll fucking take the meds if thats what it takes to survive.

What the fuck is wrong with us? Why are westerners so obnoxious? Why are all the gifs and images they use so grotesque and neurotic and unnecessary? I feel terrible for that poor japanese artist who has no idea what the fuck anyone is saying about their work, because theyre all speaking exclusively in slang and alien acronyms. Imagine if you got nothing but hundreds of arabs in your comments speaking in arabic slang posting pictures that only make sense if you're a dessert dwelling muslim. It's not just the Japanese side of twitter either, it's some disparity between speaking english or not speaking english. It doesn't affect the art or anything but people should be allowed to lock their comment section or something Jesus Christ twitterfags are concentrated cancer.

I dig your tune anon, but if you're looking to make something close to the likes of jack stauber with that frequency it just isn't gonna happen. Maybe it's just the one track, but your music is something to smoke to, it's not very lively. At most it would suit those looped "anime beats to work/study to" type animations. but if you want to make some interesting shit you're gonna have to start by putting some extra life in those tunes of yours. Pick up the tempo a bit and it'll spark more in the imagination than just chilling in bed.

Yeah I think something like that would be good actually. I mean I don't want my stuff to be boring and I'll keep working on it, but I am trying to create somewhat of a relaxed mood that could serve as a movie soundtrack or driving music or something. I almost feel like an unknown spy type loop of a sexy fox girl moving back and forth would work if it had a vaporwave filter or some shit.

Also I just mentioned jack stauber since he's the only person/project I could think of that does both music and animation. I was going for more of a mac demarco vibe+early pink floyd with that track but if anyone is in any way interested i'll bend over backwards and change shit or cut things or make things to fit your animations until you like it, potentially. I just think collaborating would be fun. I'm a little directionless with my music, I need some goals.

In that case you can easily find someone willing to do some illustrations and then animate some looped stuff on top. I don't dabble much in animating, I just figured you wanted results more like stauber's work which would need more energy, but your direction is way easier tbdesu. Very achievable especially if you make some friends on the animation side of twitter.

I mean, I read a lot of manga at the library growing up and on mangafox (when it was alive), but I never cared to track what I read. But I’ve always kept track of what anime I watched. But regardless, I’ve mainly stuck to anime. It may have to do with not being bothered to try to keep up with new releases of chapters where as with anime it’s a lot easier. Guess I have a lot of reading to catch up with in my spare time.

If you can find some circles of animators. You can try looking up some production team names of animated work you enjoy, then scour their followers for regular users you can get acquainted with and ask about collabing. You're better off asking someone who doesn't have that many followers. People with thousands of followers probably have pretty busy DMs and won't be as interested. I'm sure there's plenty of animators who want to do music related animation but don't want to get in trouble with copyright takedowns, so having the music artist himself to work with would be an appealing opportunity. Again good luck on your search
