Of course it does. And it applies to any task where you need actual skill to be competent : art, programming, sports... You did it so much that you don't think about some of the basics anymore => faster brain processing.

Yes.

The purpose of study is to internalize all knowledge so it becomes instinct.

Not bad.

hmm why does it all look like garbage??

That room looks clean af. You're doing an awesome job anon.

>>2984173
Because you have become bitter since you are no longer a student.

Or, it's 1 photo taken very far back of an entire room so there is no way to see detail.

pendleton ward got hired because he is the "ideas guy" not because of his art.

>>2998462
naw u have to go to art college for 4 years and go into massive debt, then work for a company for a few years, then realize your dream is a piece of shit just like your life.

>>2998462
he makes fucking cartoons, so DUH

Oh and if anyone has or knows how to write manga i would be greatly interested in how you started or what i could do to start.

>>2998085
>would like to know where i should start in learning how to draw.

Did you even look at this board for a solid minute before posting? Read the sticky.

lmao this is like the fifth time today.

Used appropriately, it softens an image, basically an alternative to blur which can have a sort of stylistic look.

It's rarely used appropriately.

>>2996846
It appeals to faggots on Tumblr and Instagam who obsess over an "aesthetic".

>>2996846
it can look quity ugly if overused, however it is not only a tumblr thing. It can give a nice photorealistic touch, if used propely with a mask, and not just bashed on top.

>>2995987
time management ie do your goddamn work. It's easy to build a bad reputation if you miss deadlines, even if you do have some "valid" excuse up your sleeve so keep that in mind as well

Just remember there are no excuses for missing a deadline.

If you can trust someone enough to pay you... It's a deadline, if it's done informally that's something else. A lot of people who commission something actually do it in order to haggle with you upon completion. They may not even like art at all.

You don't need the touch function. Isn't it like a twenty dollars more too?

>>2995696
yes but in the country i am from, that is a big difference (like two weeks worth of groceries), that is why i want to be sure i am wisely spending it

I never desired a touch feature for my tablet. You use it for your PC where every application is first and foremost optimized for mouse and keyboard. I doubt you gain much apart from more intuitive zoom.

>>2993221
yes.

>>2993222
Ok. Sorry if I esound dumb i just started drawing today. I dont know what thing are with perspective or not

>>2993226
Everything in a 3d space is subject to perspective

Ask the first magazine you had in mind, they have contact numbers on the issue right? Give them a call and inquire. or Try publishers for historical books or novels. Ready your portfolio.

Approach both of those.

National Geographic, Osprey books

I'm under the impression that there's less work comissioned for history books because it's considered a niche subject and doesn't make the returns to warrant the cost (however I'm of the opinion that the writing is usually surface level and a collection of meseum photos sells worse than a book of lively illustrations). If you look through new books it's mostly photos from museums with some stock/public domain illustrations and occasional 3D assets. I own a lot of older history books where the time and money was spent to illustrate everything from cover to cover, but that seems pretty rare these days. These jobs do still occasionally pop up, Sven Nordqvist was commissioned to do a book on the Götheborg Ship and East India Company and one on the Birka viking settlement, but he's also one of the most respected illustrators in my country with books translated into other languages, and these were done in like the late 90s. Like I said I'm not an expert on the field, but your best bet is probably doing your research yourself, getting to a high level and getting into touch with a history writer to collaborate with.

I do miss this type of book, because they used to be more common. Here's a comparison of a very comprehensive and richly illustrated book on the history and tactics of the Carolean army from the 70s, this thing must have taken hundreds of man-hours to illustrate. Bottom pick is a new-ish general book on military history that feels very typical. The photos are all high-res and good reference, yet feel less alive and inspiring than the illustrated book.

Without* any

With Pencil work and guidelines.

Lots of practice

Visual reference.

A critical eye.

And the intelligence to recognize that you should stop posting on 4chan, because there is no productive help or advice to be found here.

If you have any genuine interest in improving, go somewhere else where people who take the time to tap out a reply will actually be trying to help you.

>>2986410
Where are those forums??
Because this can be said about deviantart as well

A month-long challenge? Sounds interesting.

>>2998655
Awhile back there was a stellar portrait challenge going on here. Most I've seen people regularly post and show improvement around here in a minute. It was also pretty motivating.

>>2998649
someone posts their OC and everyone has to draw it in their style :)

and this happens every day

>>2996639

Finish the painting you fucking faggot. Also tracing is ok to boost your morale. Don't do it too often though and don't brag about it, especially on places like /ic/ where you will be eaten alive.

Best delete thread.

>>2996639
looks pretty much like shit

>>2996639
Did you do this in ms paint?

if you practiced then you probably improved

>>2996632

dunno man, can you do things that you weren't able to do before? then you've probably improved.
