IF YOU ARE A /BEG/INNER IN ART, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice. We should not have to make new threads or post in the Drawthread with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller

There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

>>3035769
yeah there's that and this: http://zip.2chan.net/14/futaba.htm
which is the porn art board
Okay /ic/ it finally came to this. I always avoided this place, since I considered my art to just not be good enough.
I recently started working on my stuff again, trying kinda to do the same thing Geersart from Twitch does, blending stuff in PS with Smudge in greyscale, and then adding colors and doing this stuff all over again.
It's just that for the last 2 years I feel my art is bad all the time and I can never finish anything that I wouldn't hate a day later.
I did this pack of random stuff, and I'm kinda stuck as to where should I go now - should I try doing what Geers does and just punch myself long enough until I start doing stuff I like or maybe I'm looking at all of this from the wrong way and there's some other way out?

Just keep drawing, fellow aquafag.

law of diminishing returns
the further along the expertise curve you go, the same amount of effort begins to yield less and less.
for example, say you believe in the 10,000 hours make you an expert meme:
the first 10k puts you at an arbitrary "level 10 artist" with level 100 being the max. (level 100 is whoever you idolize, consider great, better than you and is generally accepted by most to be a great artist)
the second 10k hours puts you at lvl.15
the third 10k hours puts you at lvl.17
the fourth 10k at lvl.18
and the solution isn't to work harder or longer, we have physical limits. You have to strategize.
Work smarter: (which basically means question your own methods and seek alternatives and then afterwards question the alternate methods)
Set aside time for hobbies ( or other avenues of creativity, sculpt, paint, play animal crossing or some shit)
SOCIALIZE for fucks sake ( but never say you are "depressed" to normalfags or they'll put you on antidepressants faster than you can say prozac)
be insane and crazy, but in healthy relaxing, stress reducing ways (google primal screaming, punch a pillow, take a bath with candles, SHAVE = hygiene in general)
go on an artist date yourself where you buy shiny new materials

how do you deal with the constant depression
i've tried to learn drawing for most of my life and now that ive gone balls deep into figure drawing and anatomy i get moments where i don't know if i'll ever make it
is this prevalent here? i've met a good chunk of artists (young and older, all very talented and hardworking) and i've noticed older people tend to be at peace but i guess it's too personal to ask if they ever struggled emotionally to get there
i hope thread is not too meta, i just want to hear your story

Stop worrying about "making it". What does that even mean?
If you're not creating for the sake of creating you're a sellout.
What does /ic/ think about our comic (http://boysland.thewebcomic.com/archive/#ch_99904)? It has above average art for a webcomic, good humor? (I mean we like it, so whatever haha)
and monsters yo! Monsters are always cool
plus our characters are original and don't feel like fan characters that belong to other works and have an underlining sense of mystery through.

Is it above most webcomic art? Probably, but that's not really an achievement, considering the sheer amount of amateur comic creators on the net.
The art is bad and it's clear that your artist is lacking even the most basic of fundamentals, such as proportions and perspective. On the bright side it matches the writing which is just as bad. Immature jokes, weak punchlines and really unnatural, stilted dialogue. Your 'original story' doesn't make up for it; the promised 'sense of mystery' fell completely flat for me, just as the characters did. Your pacing is garbage. If your story doesn't follow a traditional structure, you better make sure the characters are interesting enough to keep me reading.
The design elements of the comic are also rather bland. You do have some visually interesting pages, but it seems like those where more of a happy accident than thought out compositions.
That said, I'm clearly not the audience you guys want for this comic. I assume you were aiming at a young boy demographic (shonen)?
It's good to hear you have fun with your comic though. Wether you decide to step up your game or not: Keep going, proud of you. It's an achievement to finish 200+ pages; not a lot of folks can say that for them. Let haters be haters.

anyone have anything positive to say?

That was positive lol, he isnt lying to you anon you really do need more practice........scrub

So is this book for complete morons who have never picked up a pencil in their life?
A lot of what Bert says seems to be common sense. Most of the projects supposed time is laughable (it doesn't take 45 minutes to draw cast shadows) and if anything some of the pictures he uses as example are just plain ugly, such as the bottle for project 1-E.
Another thing is that it seems like Bert jumps around too much. Why have people draw 9 projects only to then tell people how they should hold their pencils.
I'm just wondering what you guys think.

Coincidentally, I picked up this book again after having it on my bookshelf for years, It just irked me that I never really got to the later chapters, I suppose.
Keys is probably a book that is best suited for people who are just starting drawing as a hobby. It might not be very helpful for drawing anatomy / construction / lots of the things that /ic/ likes
BUT
I think it might be a very good read if you plan on doing lots of studies. The majority is about copying and emulating, after all. And for beginners, it might do away with chickenscratch pretty quickly desu.
Also, the way Dodson writes is hella comfy imho

How do I do this

Fountain was brush/clone with jitter or other method. Rectangle with red frame filled blue, lower opacity.
Add noise layer, add some pretentious katakana.
Done.

Start with som free ones first, there are some good alternatives.

Those look absolutely shit.

>>3037156
It's pretty affordable and there is a lot of nice brushes in there so you will probably find at least a few favorites. Get the super pack so you can get free updates for life.
Daub Brushes are also really nice. Once again, buy the super bundle for free updates for life. Since i've bought them he's added tons of shit. Those two are pretty much all you need in my opinion. Don't bother fucking around with free stuff.

Lines are scratchy and don't help show form all that well.
The metal doesn't provide enough context of the environment (even though he's in white space) and is rendered way more than anything else, giving an "off" feel.
I like the powerful pose, but i think having the sword angled downwards slightly would help create a sense of a "imposing triangle" composition.
If it's a study/artist copy then whatever.
