Only the placing Artist get 50%. So he take 100% profits of everyone else - way to grab money from a fanbase that's mostly kids

Alright, I know /ic/ is obsessed as fuck about doing any type of "free work" even in form of contests, but be real here for a moment. Those participants could not sell their t-shirt designs on their own, otherwise they'd do that already. That guy's popularity is what would sell them, so 50:50 is a great deal. Most professional artists who get commissioned to do t-shirt designs for big youtubers and streamers etc would kill to get 50% royalties on sales instead of 1 fixed salary.

He gets 50% of the profits based on their art.

However, they get 50% of the profits based on his following.

It's a mutually beneficial business relationship. He pays the artist for providing the work, the artist pays him (via deduction) for promotion.

Spend a month doing a study, you'll learn a lot.

>>3046532


In my opinion, as someone who has been doing digital painting since the early 2000's - forget about the "making a copy is not a REAL study" idea that's floating around. Yes, copying alone is not enough, but if you really want to study an artist's work intimately you have to copy, sometimes down to imitating single brush strokes. You have to spend long hours with a single painting examining every square inch, so to speak. Just looking intently at a piece while you're making the study helps. Look at the painting you're studying every day, get fanatical about mark making, edges and brush work.
There's simply no way around it. I recently finished a 50-60 hour (digital) study of a landscape painting from an another artist. Learnt a ton.I encourage you to do the same. Pick your absolute favorite painting to do a deep, long study on but also do quicker composition studies etc. of his other paintings.

Thank you

Why are the OP images always so /gd/ I love it.

you stick a fork in a wallsocket, that's the only known way to get the spark if you're not born with it.

seriously though there isn't an answer to your question if "read the sticky, consult the recommended materials, and then draw for years" isn't satisfactory for you.

>>3045965

Draw. Draw. Draw. The main difference between you and all those artists you admire is the time they have spent drawing.

Look at things. Real life, pictures, artists you like. Collect references. Analyze, remember. Then draw more.

>>3045965
1.)study your fundamentals
2.)apply fundamentals to shit you actually wanna draw. Don't listen to retards who say not to draw anime unless you mastered realism
3.)Draw a shit ton and always be critical of your work. Look for feedback
4.)be patient. So many regards on ic think you can reach pro if you draw 16 hours a day for 1 years. That's like saying you can achieve the body of Arnold if you train hardcore for a year. It doesn't work like that, your brain needs time to rest. You will also deal with a lot of regression and progression periods. It's perfectly fine, improvement isn't a linear path
5.)Get out of your comfort zone. Interestingly, you have 2 factions of artists. On one end, you have those DA tier artists who draw out of their comfort zone but because they don't give a shit about fundamentals they don't improve. On the other end, you have artists who study their fundamentals but because they are too scared to tackle those really complex subjects, they don't improve much. The best artists do both.

8 hours. It's my job.

It takes forever to fill a sketchbook now because by the time I get home I don't even want to look at a pencil.

>>3043622
I mostly work digital so it takes a while to go through sketchbooks. I'm trying to get into it more now though to strengthen my draftsmanship, and have a bit under a sketchbook in a month maybe. It's tough to fill them up when I work full time and also am busy doing paintings.

I think the whole thing of grinding hours that /ic/ proposes is a bit silly and not entirely necessary. You start to get diminishing returns since you can't focus as well after long periods of work. 1 or 2 hours in a day of really good practice is better than mindlessly drawing for 4 or 5 hours.

like 12 minutes

Rotate it then post it in the /beg/ thread, OP.

You won't get a job at Lucas, Pixar, Disney, or any of the big studios without previous experience and a degree.
Here's an ad for Disney, as an example:

Here's one for Blizzard:

Your best bet is to go work on college films or small indie films or games, and go to school, and study art with a film minor. You're basically setting up shots for the cinemaphotographer, and if you don't know cameras, lighting, and the basics of film and composition, you're just wasting their time. Everyone thinks they can storyboard - but it's a highly specialized art, and not many can do it well.
You can practice - go download a script, especially for a movie you've never seen before, and do a full set of storyboards for the whole movie. See how much work it is, and how hard it can be, especially if you have no film experience. You need to work fast, and communication is imperative - you're rough drafting the entire movie. Some of it will be cued for you in the script, some won't.
You really need to love doing it, to set out to do it as a career. Especially since most of the movies you'll work on won't interest you. Starting out, you'll get the direct to Bluray shit, chick flicks, stuff like that. Oh, and you'll starve. You're not gonna get near a blockbuster until you've been around and proven you can do it.

Thanks for the input!
Not many people offer realistic and valid advice on 4chan in general so I appreciate it.
I am getting an art related degree already but I'll see if I can squeeze in another minor if I do feel like Storyboarding is for me.
I'm trying to broaden my skillset in regards to anything art related so I figured I'd look into this.

Adding someone on Facebook isn't exactly 'networking' in the useful sense
Realistically speaking, how many of those muslim or indian guys do you think are gonna be a valuable link to the industry?

since this is about networkin i made a new group real fast in case any of you furries want a new place to talk shit at and promote your art

pencil tests aren't even that raw. The drawings are considerably cleaned up at that point.
