3 most glaring things come to mind

1. Literal bad habits: posture, death gripping, not stretching, not taking breaks.

2. Not thinking 3D.

3. Not doing creative work alongside studies, or vice versa

>>3014560
Pretty much these exactly, hit the nail on the head my man.

Also;

4. Not referencing.

Maybe they dedicated and focus while the western education is focus on the normal school and saying that doing art is for pussies

>>3009823
maybe grass if always greener on the other side and they think western art is amazing?

The hand is looser when you're writing characters all day. Usually this applies to penwork, but they're also more diligent with their studies and hobbies

I love drawing and I've always used a No. 2 pencil and paper. However, I want to start drawing with a more serious kit.

Is there a "drawing kit" of the essential tools someone can recommend me? Preferably from Amazon.

When some one say NGMI is in an offensive manner?
Or in which sense they use it?

>>3009012
Yeah, they're saying you're being a scrub bitch with a scrub attitude that's gonna lead you to stagnate. Whether that's ego or laziness or whatever.

welcome back

Why nobody ever includes "How to Render" in OP's of those threads? I don't need it because I have 300MB scan saved, but it's IMHO equally as valuable book as "How to Draw".

I have pressure sensitivity on, don't think I need scattering, know I have to change one of the axis... what am I missing?

These are sort of nice to look at though I don't really like any with the scatter.

I'd love to get one of his more psychedelic ones, but I'm not sure I could find a tattoo artist who could pull it off, or at least not cheaply.

They're anime watchers, their concept of aesthetics is based on cartoons

Please stop posting this shit thread cumbum.

>>3020377
not only that, but the standard of excellence for a critique of craft skills is directly copied from the 2chan /ic/ equivalent, reinforcing glorious nippon weeb shit.
/lit/ has way better threads on art. But 4chan will always just be where losers go to "have fun"

You have missed the point of construction. You must make EVERYTHING 3D. Try drawing a skull and adding meat to it.

2D full-frontal construction will not help you as an artist. You must push yourself - more challenging angles and dimensions that will help you see the face as a full 3D object.

Loomis will help. Just looking at his construction will not. You must copy the plates and perfect his method.

When working traditionally, consider holding your work to a mirror.

They are paid below minimum wage and probably don't want to put in the effort of this tired out franchise

Toei only cares about One Piece and Precure.

You don't know the industry or profession well enough to make fundamental decisions about your life like that. Keep art as a hobby, do it however serious you want or can, network, talk to professionals (e-mail) and work on your plan "B" in the meantime or simply save up some money. See if the industry even supports a living wage in five years and with a plan "B" or money in your backpocket, you can always dare so much more.

>all day drawing and improving my art
You're not gonna get paid for that. It's not about you and your art.

Making a stable income as a freelance illustrator is all about gearing your work towards a style that is marketable towards the clients that can provide the type of opportunities you're looking for. In other words, you're drawing for someone else, not yourself.

Essentially, this is what you do.
1. Create new work for your portfolio site that is geared towards the type of market you want to break into
2. Research the contact info of decision makers (art directors, creative directors, etc.)
3. Start a campaign to reach out to all of these people. Don't give up after the first email.
4. Hope that they could see a use for your work, and land gig. Don't fuck it up, and hopefully turn the client into a regular.

Rinse and repeat every step, and you've got yourself a freelance illustration career. Of course it's easier said than done, every step of the way is excruciatingly difficult, especially #4.

Yeah this sounds the correct thing to do, but at the same time I don't want to end up hating the one thing I love just because I have to reach deadlines or work under pressure. It sounds stupid and childish I know...might as well have it only as a hobby

This board is full with pic related.

On 4chan manga is the ultimate art.

>>3020091
I would try to find other communities, but truth is something with 4chan's harsh honesty and irony is hard to find.

I think a lot of people are just fed up with conceptual art and modernism as a whole. It's been forcefed for the last century with the loss of tradition and know-how as result, and now there's simply a countermovement going on.

Please don't "get a tattoo today" if you don't know what you want. FML

Don't. Getting a tat for the sake of it will be a mistake you regret for the rest of your life.

I had an idea for a tat based on someone else's design. I sat on that idea for two years - I knew that if I was still considering it after that long than it was something worth having.

hope you're not thinking "i can just remove it later if i don't like it" because removing a tattoo takes a very long time (months or years of regular sessions) not to mention it's excruciating painful (way, way more painful than getting a tattoo), and can easily cost several thousands of dollars
