Yes, many people have that problem, and work in a variety of styles.
Put it all in the water, and see what catches traction.
You rarely get to decide the direction you're going to go in - it's like choosing a job. You put your resume or portfolio out there and see who calls.
Your "brand" doesn't have to be a hyperfocused style.
Once you are employed, your employment will help you direct your attention both in and out of work in more ways than you realize.

Just like that. So nobody replied. Don't get frustrated or take it personally, just keep fishing.

Don't go for a fucking style and that will be your style.

can you draw from imagination?
if so
just watch porn
draw from a different angle.
or just make it up using construction and use reference.

one must first develp a brain, which I am guessing you still haven't, since you posted a thread like this.

Doxy has good ones.

What worked for me was to stop midway through a fapping session and start drawing those juicy poses instead. Porn is full of good refs with beautiful gesture and if you have hormones racing through your body, they'll tell you what looks appealing and what doesn't.
+ a paper full of studies at the end will make you feel better than a nut ever could.

Wait, using an iPad as an art student is normal now? Instead of a laptop or a notebook? that's fucking weird

The new iPad has, predictably, better hardware. I've done some research, and the old one is already pretty fucking good, though. It depends on how much you want the bigger screen (which would make it more comfortable to draw on), honestly, and if you can find a good discount on it (maybe buy a used one?).

I go to MICA, and had similar interests to you. One of the draws to the school was that I could also take classes at hopkins.

This is all coming from a painting major, so I'm more interested in the fine art side of art school than the commercial majors like I assume most of /ic/ is, so take that into account.

The primary disadvantage of art school is the cost. It is an expensive endeavor, but I was able to get several scholarships that lowered the costs to almost nothing. If you have to go into significant amounts of debt to go to art school, it almost certainly isn't worth it.

That said, the advantages of art school to me outweigh the disadvantages. The instruction I've received has developed my work to a degree that just flat out wouldn't have happened had I not gone. Technical aspects of art can be learned independently to a certain degree, but it's tremendously hard to develop conceptual ideas, and to develop the vocabulary to talk about art without being immersed in the art world (of course, one on one instruction with talented professors helps technical ability a ton as well).

Additionally, the connections made in art school are what helps to launch people into the industries they're interested in. This is obviously a lot more relevant for commercial fields like graphic design or illustration, but many art schools also help fine artists develop proposals for shows, or host juried exhibitions which students can apply to. Many art schools also have networks of galleries which essentially scout students work out to represent them soon after graduation. I myself have been lucky to sell work straight off my studio wall because of this.

Lastly, what you get out of art school really is what you put into it. I've seen work on /ic/ that's absolutely leagues above some senior level illustration thesis work, and I've seen freshmen with no real formal art training come in, grind out drawings and studies, and come out significantly better than when they started.

The last thing I'll say is that you should definitely visit the school (be it RISD, Parsons, Pratt, etc) and take a tour, talk with faculty, sit in on a class, that sort of things. That will give you a much better idea of what to expect, and whether or not it's the right fit for you. I know most of /ic/ shits on art school because of its cost and the horror stories people tell about their experience with art school, but to a certain degree, you just have to check it out in person to get an idea if it's a good fit for you.

Good luck!

You will only get scholarships if you are a POC. This is a fact.

I hate it. Take a break for a month and spend that time doing nothing but consuming genius comics and cartoons, it should rub off on you

round hard brush is the pinnacle of brushes

>>3021564
I like the hard round but i can't get nice blending out of it. what percentage opacity/flow do you use? or do you use something else for blending?

>>3021554
It's not very common to just use one brush, if so a hard round or flat is used which doesn't get you a very painterly look. I can see at least three brushes used in that painting, hard round, a wet one and a noisy one. That is a very good combination for most paintings, you need something hard to lay out blocks and shapes, then you sorta blend and mingle the noisy and wet one

I don't know how much automation is available in photoshop these days, I use paintstorm. You can go a long way with a hard noisy one (painterly texture and pattern) that smudges on lighter pressure. Craig Mullins used to say you should only use a hard round. Anyway don't get too hung up on this, a certain brush won't automatically make a pro out of you and it's easy to get bogged down. Noisy brushes are cool and all but can be hard to work with if you don't have a solid foundation

Because I don't want to become a pro if it means photobashing.

Anyway I know 3D.

I dunno, there seem plenty of pros who are doing just fine without having to do 3D. Even concept artists working on projects that ARE fully 3D in the final product.

I genuinely wish I could go back to being that naive and stay there.

Ling Yun (his newer work), Robh Ruppel, Neil Kampbell Ross. There are a bunch of artists who often do studies in this style as well but they don't usually use it in their regular work.

if you dont like it dont read it :)

Just normies making small talk, how awful.

"Haha, yea, my stepfather can't draw stick figures either, so he just sticks his figures up my ass"

I like that one. makes me feel special.

Just go out and do it, Where i live it's sunny and only sunny all summer. The lighting and stuff is all fucky unless i stand in shade. And it gets kinda boring when i want to do some nice rainy paintings...
SO just do it mang, focus on the little things and you'll find beauty.

I discovered this book in grade seven and finally remembered it years later. It's a very in-depth overview, and it can show you how to mix primary colours in order to achieve a "broken" or neutral palette.
