It's at 1370 usd on Amazon right now.

Also I'm not loaded but I have made enough with commissions and have been on this for a while so I consider it a worthy investment

Nah. Luckily, I learned about art before 4chan even existed, so I have no worries the autists here will effect me in any way.
I came into this forum thinking some actual artistic advice was being given, but have learned it's just another 4chan forum, full of autists and neckbeards like all the other forums, engaging in the same patterns of behavior as the rest of 4chan.
In other words, it's a toxic crab pot that does much more harm than good. For serious learning, it's the last place anyone should be spending time. It's all destructive memes and unrealistic expectations and bizarre flights of fantasy. This is a group of crabs who insist talent doesn't exist - I can't take that kind of mindset seriously at all.
The try hards and neckbeards are bad enough, with their "if it costs money it's bad" bullshit (we get it, you're a fucking cheapskate and your shitty free drawing app is free) but what's worse is the overwhelming number of participants here who seemingly draw with one hand on a pencil or stylus, and the other on their penis. It's hard to take that group seriously, too. And they're all looking for shortcuts and step by step instructions to "git gud", because they have no real interest or passion or talent for art, they just want to jerk off. (Which is 90% of 4chan, anyway) These spastic, retarded monkeys post thread after thread, wanting their hands held, thinking there's ONE brush to use, and if they use it, boobs will magically happen. It's just sad and pathetic.
And the worst, are the so-called "experts", or posters who think they're artist's, who instruct others into ridiculous endeavors, usually starting with Loomis, and ending with Loomis, because they're not artists, they just pretend to be artists, and they don't know how to instruct anyone how to progress on from the beginning steps, because they've never done it themselves. Thus you ave an endless stream of beginners who listen to these frauds.

>don't for example see amazing figure drawing skills from FZD students.


That's because they are training to become concept artists, silly.


I am way more tired of the lazy asses who think it is impossible for people to work 6 to 16 hours a day and get good very fast, desu.

>>3063032
Good ol' opportunity. I spent most of my life in a shithole, discovered drawing late because I was busy living a shitty life trying to fit in with shit people, I'll have to face tough times financially in the future and this stresses me the fuck out.
Add a slew of personal issues that snowballed through years of shitty experiences and crappy health, of course I'm not going to improve as steadily as a kid with supportive rich parents who sent him to study at Feng Zhu. The judgemental folks can go suck a cock.

Use stabilizer. Ask in the question thread next time, this wasn't worth a thread.

>is it possible
It's even easier than traditional, retard

Forgot to say I only have a crappy old laptop in terms of technology to use it with but my screen is 1920x1080.
It's not that it's super slow but it's kind of slow, I don't know if that matters.

i think the biggest question facing you is
A) what size
B)with screen or without

with a smaller size you wont have the freedom of utilizing your entire arm aka drawing from the shoulder. a graphics tablet with screen feels alot mroe natural since youre directly drawing on top of the screen. as for brand, off brand tablets have come so close to performance with wacom products that the difference doesnt really matter. whatever tool you pick youll be able to make beautiful things.

>>3064466
I think screen tablets are out of my price range from what I've seen, I doubt I can go over 100 dollars on this, maybe a bit more but that is the limit I have to write off for myself which is why it seems like huion would be the way to go.

Size wise I didn't know it mattered but now I see what you mean about drawing from the shoulder, that seems to make a lot of sense.

r9k is surprisingly nice when it comes to creative things

80% of 4chan is like this. This is a site most popular with teenage and young 20 something year old boys whose main interest are anime and videogames and I guess to some extent politics now.

>>3064183
as it should be

Everything he says is right. I think he even wrote a book about it.

>>3063132
About being right?

>>3063126
All I know is that I started digitally and used a bunch of the functions as crutches, a while ago I tried traditional for shits and giggles and realised I can't even draw a good box.

Traditional is harder than digital and good traditional skills transfer over to digital but not the other way around

don't feel like it

I looked at furaffinity and except for some outliers that make over $500 an image, it seemed roughly the same as drawing animu porn ($50 - $100 an image).

I want to. How do I get into it?

>Has this place actually helped you at all

Yes, it made me realize how little I know and also introduced me to totally different views on how to learn art.

I'm painfully aware that coming here often is just a subtle addiction, it brings nothing to my art, I could come once a week and the benefits would be the same. Slow board. Lot of threads aren't worth reading. Once per week would be enough to find the good parts and maybe help a few people.

Your last advice is good but I don't blame /ic/, I should draw things for my pleasure more often. This idea of putting it off until I get better is the dumbest thing I've done. It kills motivation. 100% my fault, it's nothing but false pride.

There are a lot of idiots on /ic/ so I don't consider it a helpful place, but indeed it showed me something I didn't know, so I guess it was helpful for me in some instances.

>>3058416
It has actually. I get plenty of resources here, find new inspirations for work, find interesting prompts to illustrate, find answers for random art qs, find new techniques to use, things I wouldn't learn otherwise if I did this on my own. Critiques are useful sometimes, most times if you're putting good effort people will give good critique. My work gets shit on here almost constantly even when I think it's good which helps me progress to a higher level of standard.

I have plenty to complain about this place (shitposting, toxicity, trolls, people who don't actually practice), but I can't deny that this place has also been extremely useful.

I have the pdf, but I haven't actually read it.

I have a physical copy, it was pretty much my first exposure to art. It is a pretty good book, and covers a lot of good information. the only problem I would say is that it doesn't go much in depth on some stuff, but if you want to draw comics its an excellent starting point

>>3056294
i have it in pdf. really easy to find. no it's not that great.

Remove the chromatic abberation, it adds nothing

>>3062727
It does add something.
Chromatic aberration.

>>3062729
