Found one book that might be good but if this book is actually uploaded anywhere, it is burred under tons of spam and virus downloads.

Name of the book.
ABAKAN 2288: kallamity's world of mecha design

Real life, maybe?
Look at actual robots, machines and military hardware.

>>3023604
Looked, have whole folder of various machines, robots and such.
What I am more interested is where does artist gets inspiration for it, for example you can see many mechs having various elements that are repeated over and over again by many artists.
Examples are:
Bubbly armour, panel layout, round flat shapes on hands and legs.
General shape of the armor, where does it come from, is it taken from some sport equipment and altered, what was the source of inspiration here.

Would like to find a book that goes into it.

I think that's called concept art.

Good luck with trying to be Andy Warhol in the digital age.

No shit, hence the "shitpost" aspect of the problem.

You'll get no where if people won't tell you where exactly do you suck.

Also SS and Loli is forbidden there, so that's also a problematic limitation

> go to /beg/

did you even read the thread?

You focus too much on other people and need to focus on yourself. Just keep drawing.

>>3024570
what this anon said. it's okay to let yourself feel jealous for those small bursts of envy-fueled practice, but in the end you need to focus on your own growth and why you want to make art. shit, just saying that is making me realize that I need to fucking follow the advice i'm giving.

in the end, your hard work is going to mean something, you'll have slogged through your brain trying to stop you, it'll suck, but it'll be worth it.

Motivation is a myth. You just need a slight spark to get in the habit and that should be all that's needed.

Your ego is a fucking problem, though. You need to seriously reexamine your fucking attitude. Good artists should make you feel hopeful, that your path is achievable, that it's all going to be alright.

Instead you're getting envious like a bitch. Dwell on this statement a while.

>>3023962
All I can read here is
> i don't want to practice

I "made it" (ie make a living by drawing) & I repeat the advice.

What a stupid thread.

>>3023964
You've been giving a lot of people terrible advice then.

The point I was making is that if you tell a noob to practice, they'll just practice more of the same cringy shit they already practice. Noobs are asking for direction, and you aren't giving them it.

WARNING:
Very shitty

>>3018118
id like to have value control like you sempai

>>3026957
the only thing to watch out for is if the organizers are getting a cut of art of yours that sells.

or if they ask for money. there's vanity art shows, just like vanity publishing.

if you're happy that the shows are legit, depending on the scale and what not, you might want to see if you can get involved somehow. if you're working with the people then they'll think of your next time, so more shows, and you're getting involved in your local art scene (and it's a possible in-road to an art related career, if you're ngmi)

Thanks anon. I know for a fact one of them doesn't get profits from my work and I retail all rights to my shit, etc. I don't know about the other one yet because I haven't looked into it yet.

I live in a semi-major city (Not like NYC big but still big name) with a big art district (a couple really) so getting my name out there would be hugely beneficial to getting a creative career out here.

Digital work might do well depending on how big your city is. I don't like prints as much but they're affordable to everyone.

you will never know how the fest will go and you might lose money renting a booth rather than getting money.

Dad's a pop artist so he sells some bigger more expensive stuff at almost every festival in Utah. It's better to know what's worth what and costs are usually dependant on size, material, and time.

Spend 40+ hours on the same print and make 50 of them the value will depreciate, if there's an original it might stay NFS, or remain too expensive. At least from what I've seen.

But yeah, most festival artists sustain a basic income through teaching somehow and the success of the festival and the size of your degree will determine who will allow you to teach.

I've written several emails to artists. Both to famous ones and to ones who are top tier but less known. I've never gotten a response. That said I know other people who have written emails to famous artists and received nice personal responses and advice before.

I think as long as you make sure to deliver your question in a way that lets them know exactly what you're asking you'll be fine, and of course don't ask something that's stupidly obvious or would take a long time to explain

I once just straight up contacted an artist by searching for them on telegram to ask them how they pulled off an effect in their art and they were happy to share their knowledge.

Consider how much the artist is interested in recieving unsolicited questions. Some artists already sell tutoring sessions to people, asking them for free advice unless it's just one small thing can be very rude.

>show that you value their advice, the thing you're after should be something they're interested in/very good at
>show that you've already made the best attempt you can at whatever it is
>don't waste their time

Also it may be worth mentioning that you just won't be able to contact certain artists, when they're very famous they won't give out anything other than their business email and you shouldn't contact that, if you want advice from them you'll have to find a way to get to know them personally first, meet them at an event or something.

But always remember that artists are real people too and many find it very enjoyable to help others improve, as long as it doesn't take up their entire day unpaid of course.

Pretty much sums it up, if you're genuinely interested in something and ask nicely, most artists will gladly answer you if they're not a dick.
