That's like asking a ballet dancer why she doesn't want to be a prostitute. Tattoos are degenerate shit

Only degenerates like tattoos.

>>3068680
because the obligatory course for the tattoer license is like 1500 euro where I live. Can't really afford it

Talentless, perhaps. Pleb, most likely. Doesn't mean you can be a good artist.

>>3068591
Can't*. Doesn't mean you can't be a good artist.

have 2 sketchbooks.
one for precious drawings you show other people,
one to use for learning

>>3068228
If you don't like those sketches you can either man up and draw anyway or rip out those earlier sketches


I reccomend that you man up, you have to come to terms with the fact that nothing you'll draw will ever be perfect in your eyes.

>>3068228
Tear them out then ya goober. I'd suggest keeping them though so you can compare them later

>>3068116
Almost impossible. I've talked to a couple of professional wildlife illustrators and while they were all encouraging, it's not very likely that you'd be able to do something like that for a living, especially not in house. Very few institutions hire full time illustrators because they don't need them as much.

It's also highly recommended to get a related degree, much more so than any other branch of illustration.

How's your skill level? Wanna post something? If not, it's fine, just curious.

Something like pic related(watercolor, line and wash style), wanna do that for museum or biology magazines. I am not necesserily interested in making money of it, but for contributing my art to them, using my art for they scientic results.

glad I'm not the only one out there like this, with color i don't know where to start or the basics of painting/coloring.
with lineart it is simple learn boxes and basic shapes, then fill in the rest with detail. but slowly learning color and how it works with each other.

read james gurneys color and light the pdfs in the artbook thread

Learning to paint in photoshop right now, I have been putting it off for way too long.
As of now my drawing skills are stronger, but I definitely wouldn't put them on hold for painting. When painting, you're somehow drawing anyway. Either by a preliminary sketch/drawing or when blocking in with a brush, it's like drawing with a wider tip.
It's frustrating but also cool. It's almost a magic moment when you put some different values together and start blending here and there and it starts to turn into the illusion of a 3-dimensional form, which is lit a certain way.
Since when drawing, you're basically rendering with 2 base values (pencil and paper/canvas), I find it helpful to start off with a very limited value range, maybe just two, for light & shadow (against background). Even a few more can easily get overwhelming. Then it's about lighting planes consistently. It really tests your knowledge of the form you drew.

Because in the end it doesn't even matter.

My opinions.
Your example is a pretty Disney-lookin' example to me. I dunno about Tumblr because I don't into blogs.
You're on the right track - The image you posted is a good example of expression practice.
The face is redrawn each time. Don't do the meme thing where you copy and paste the same "head" onto a page and draw different eyes/nose/mouth on it to get expressions. That's not only lazy, you don't learn shit.
>How do you guys just throw caution in the wind and crank out 'good expressions?'
You don't throw caution to the wind. Especially early on, each "good" drawing will be careful, deliberate, and time consuming. Early on, you don't "crank them out"
Many people fall into the bullshit meme of "loosening up" and casually flicking lines onto page after page and when the sketchbook is full they wonder why they're not any better than when they started. Precision is imperative. And difficult.
>What /makes/ a 'good expression' ?
I dunno, there's lots of things that go into it. If the output is recognizable and relatable, it's good.
>When working on faces should Posture and body language come first or second to the facial expressiveness?
They support each other. That's why it's important to redraw the face for each practice expression.
1. Watch for expressions you like, (Life, movies, animation, TV) remember them, draw them accurately. You will learn what facial features go where for what, and how to move them without ruining your consistency or proportions.
2. Take your practice expressions and translate them onto your original characters. When you can do this and maintain consistency and accuracy in your own characters, you win.
...I'm cheating because I have a photographic memory, but it's just as much a handicap when I'm trying to do something original. All the images in my head get in the way of the nascent imagined ones.
Pic related is some expression practice from the sketchbook a while ago.

OP here, I started this small chart playing with the idea of expressions some of them I don't like others are 'okay' they are markedly better than what I usually draw but not by the standard I'm seeking. I think one of the best places to start is eye shape. How does one construct an eye in that cartoon 'Disney / tumblr Style' style?

I've been studying an animation and will be updating with my attempts to emulate what I see.

Thanks for the advice I'm going to try and put this in to practice.

skull goes like a bow. out from top to nose and then in again from nose to chin. your skull goes too much out where it should go in. the teeth part goes out like a monkey, but thats on top of the overall bow shape.

Hate is fun, Compliments (from people i respect) are nice, Constructive shit is useful why does everyone have a feelings deficit anytime anything is said?

>>3066428
When I was young I took criticism really well and would always listen to what people told me. I had an iron skin and insults didn't bother me. Now I find if someone is critical it can kind of hurt and I often disagree with what they say.

I like it. Unsettling.

Nah it's just bullshit people tell you in order to make their ideas about how an artist should live look good.
Countless artists have hated practicing: what matters is wether that was worth it or not, and that depends on the pieces produced by the individuals, which escape any bland categorization like the one in your pic.

Keep studying and dont let these losers distract you.

yes it is, people learn better when they're enjoying the task. dopamine is conducive to learning, it's important to draw what you like instead of listening to retarded dinosaurs who insist that you do specific regiments.

draw what you want and develop your style

>>3064029
That quote is bullshit

Art is a skill just like anyother and the product of the skill is determined the the skill of the creator

If you make a wooden chair after 30 years of studying and practicing how to make the best chair you're gonna make a pretty amazing chair

However if you just go and try to make a chair but instead of studying you just have fun and make a chair, it's gonna be shit

Protip: doing good at something is enjoyable
