Just going through it with putting unnecessary pressure on myself that everything has to meet this invisible bar.
It's eating up my creative juice

Creativity is nice, but it's not a focus. People want to see what you can create and your usage of shapes. Having fat people/old people in portfolios usually helps.
i find drawing dicks and other intentionally stupid stuff loosens the mind a little
Age: 20
Drawing Level: Beginner
Daily hour: 6
His biggest asset is his visual library and his precision. It'll probably only take you a few years. It's nothing too special unless you enjoy sketching.

>6 hours a day
Get a job NEET.
>>3123555
If it isn't too special, then why is it that most artists don't even come close.
the one that works for you, try all three. Always get information/instruction from a few different sources.
>>3123389
ok ok i get it. ill update my blog so you can stop spurging with this older stuff.
>>3123402
it better be good or I'll keep using your old art to spite you when shitposting

How do I scan artwork that is larger than my scanner?
I've tried scanning it in parts but the individual parts don't match each other.
>I've tried scanning it in parts but the individual parts don't match each other.
Then match them? that's what editing software is for
You can also take a picture with your phone but it won't give you the best quality.
>>3123113
>Then match them? that's what editing software is for
I know but it isn't like a jigsaw puzzle where one fits with other, its like if each parts came with different proportions.
>>3123118
Did you try rescaling the pieces to fit....?
I was in the class and I did this thing (I'm not proud) because of my anxiety, for some reason, this, relaxed me
P.D the color on the bottom is fluorecent pink
>>3122971
I think it's interesting looking. Is that earth at the bottom or just a blue/green thing?
Not sure what culture you were raised in. Is that some sort of overpass above the wombed earth?
Pink can mean Adoration, Affection, Delight, Clarity, Intuition, Lack of Assertiveness
Does anyone remember that rich (and suicidal?) anon who was going to buy cintiqs and stuff for other anons? Did you guys get your stuffs?
>>3122935
Pic related, right? The rare pepes were the true gift.
I think only two other anons got something, a used cintiq for one and a bunch of markers for another. I hope they're doing well.
Don't worry if you didn't get anything, he turned most of the people down because he believed in their ability to make it on their own. You're probably one of them.
And yeah, he sent me a Huion H610pro and it's pretty sweet, almost better than my previous tablet. I rarely attach sentimental value to material possessions, but for this I'll make an exception. Anon's soul is beside me, quietly whispering "git gud".
Rest easy, brother.
>>3122955
did you git gud?
>>3122955
nice to know he was legit at the very least
I know your stance on this and I know the stance of a lot of good artists on this - it's better to take your time etc. I KNOW THIS.
But I live with my very shitty family that makes my life hell. I can't move out because I can't sustain myself from a minimal wage job (I live in Eastern Europe). It's just not going to happen. I like to draw and I could make decent money assuming I can draw. I would get those sweet dollars... you know the drill. A lot easier to get going than work in my country and be unable to pay for myself. I am not exaggerating, it's really that bad.
I can set up my schedule in a way that my family doesn't intervene, I can draw for at least 4 hours but ideally it would be 8. I can force myself to do that because I am tired of my life, I have my dreams, ideals and I can't be undermined all the time by some fucking losers whom I will never see again if I move out.
I know that getting good fast sounds like a meme but I beg you to share anything that can make me work in 2 years from now at least. It's still an eternity in my case but I have to start somewhere. I need the most streamlined guides or info so I can realistically work and provide for myself. Don't bother telling me to find a job, because I was clear on that and I am pretty sure you would think like me if you were in my situation. You would have killed yourselves by now. I was raised in that shithole, I experienced it all and that shaped my insecurities and other bad thoughts. If I am to become a functioning human being, I have to move out and start again.
If there were some secret technique to getting good super fast we would all be great artists by now.

It's more about working harder than others, I know learning to draw takes time. Algenpfleger got good fast so it's not impossible.
Is there any hope for me as an artist?
Is there any hope for my painting
If you love doing it, yes. If you kind of like it but after a few hours it's boring, no.

I really like it when I'm on adderall. How does that equate
>>3122890
When I'm not on adderall I stay away because I think my work sucks and takes too much effort
Does anyone here participates in art workshops or is a part of art community? Thinking into doing this, whats your thoughts?
How do you even become part of an art community in the first place?
>>3122823
I go do the live drawing sessions at Studio Titmouse.
>>3122826
do you like it? the sessions and the collegues?
Also how did you find it and started going?
Why dont you quit 4chan (and /ic/ and other social media)? You will have more time to do studies, and your ability to focus (or rather intensity of focus) will improve a lot. Stop switching tasks and multitasking (which is the same thing really) which decreases the quality of your work.

it's the need to talk to someone
like I don't even like video games but I play them to talk to people
Discipline means working hard but killing yourself working. Contrary to popular belief getting rid of the internet will not make all of /ic/ work twice or thrice as hard, instead it will make them procrastinate on something else.
The way of doing things is to have time for yourself, relax, go out, play video games, watch anime, browse here etc. but you must understand that there's time for work and time to not-work, and when it's time to work you have to get on that shit hard.
>>3122708
The thing is if you build good working habits, you no longer need discipline and willpower to work and procrastination stops being a problem. Say if you draw every evening from 6 - 8 pm or whatever, it will after time become automatic and you even wont have to think about it, just like you automatically brush your teeth in the evening etc.
Some sketches I'm doing. Rate?
Oops wrong angle
Here's another
And another
Not having friends.
Not feeling happy because no one takes a look at your art.
Just drawing little girls makes it impossible for you to show your art to someone.
People laughing at your art.
Being alone.
In this thread talk about your experiences and how you dealt with them, Help other anons!
For years I've been struggling with similar problems OP, the difference is that I don't draw little girls.
After all those years the conclusion is just one: kill yourself. No, seriously, it's hard to maintain sanity when you are born in poverty or you don't have any support or everything combined. There's no escaping it, everyone undermined me so much throughout my life that it's impossible for me to not feel anxious. How the fuck am I supposed to be confident if I never got anything to support it?

Last summer my dad died from alcoholism and in the fall my grandma died after being in and out of the hospital for a few months. I lived w my grandma my whole life, so all this grieving was a pretty big shock for me. It's really hard to get past some things. After my pop died we had to clean out his whole apartment and deal with a lot of furniture. We basically crammed an apartment's worth of furniture into our house, and I have too many of reminders of him and feel stressed out with having so much stuff to deal with.
I took a month off between ending my summer job and starting school. I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't really productive but I got closer to people, smoked weed, and grazed at getting rid of old stuff and donating clothes, etc. I'm still trying to get over my problems, so I don't know exactly how I'll overcome them, but I've been getting back to drawing and remembered it feels nice to actually make something lol. Your art is one of the only things you can actually control and curate to exactly what you want, and to relieve a creative urge is more important than I thought, after working my old job a lot and being too drained to draw or paint on top of being tired all the time for no reason. I'm figuring myself out though, and trying to self improve and isolate myself less, spend more time with my close friends, and my next step is go back to exercising and learning how to eat properly.
Anyway I just started community college, I'm making friends, and some things have been going in the right direction for me after I got back into drawing every day (ish)
Hello artfags,
I'm looking to decorate my dorm and I want more art to get similar to pic related (not necessarily in subject, but in style) that can be hung vertically in large sizes (24x36"). Can't find anything but shit postmodern art and Harry Potter posters online
Any suggestions?
This looks a lot like Bouguereau's work. He's a pretty popular artist so it shouldn't be too difficult to find a print of his.
maybe like this
>>3122453
I like that a lot! Any others similar paintings that come to mind?
