because if full of webs moe face

Trying to do "proper" constructed architechtural drawing with vanishing points, grids and rulers was the biggest waste of time I've ever done. Anyone with a basic sense for space can eyeball that shit with no problem. If your art is full of points and grids and you're doing industrial art where precision is important you're overthinking it.

Because it's full of mediocre artists who symbol draw and spam anime girls. They all hate any sort of actual thinking and post 10 min sketches to showcase how good they are. 99% on this board will never make a living off art because their heads are so far up their own asses.

let's do this

4 years of 8 hour days from pro

you're not wrong

Seems to me you're still exploring.
Animations, painterly stuff, cell shading

Everything seems rushed in some degree though.

Also don't think you've found a good way to break down human anatomy in simple shapes for yourself.

So the usual advice really:
1: Do a lot of quick body studies (yknow those 60 second things on like quickposes.com)

2: Take your time and finish a bigger picture. Spend at least 8 hours on a single thing and get it as polished as possible.
And show us WIP's along the way in the WIP threads of course.

you won't anything like this in here this place is basically ghost town with /c/ shitpost i recommend check /his/ (Also /t/ has occasionally a classic art thread)

>>2926051
Cheers mate, I will see if I can get anything there.

Practice.
You arent putting in the hard work
>y-yes i am
No, you're not. When was the last time you sat down for 3 or more hours and really grinded out your fundamentals? How to draw anime books dont count. You need to do this every day, watching a youtube video and then drawing three things is not enough for one day.

Just FYI, there are several types of charcoal that each come in different hardnesses. Vine charcoal is smudgy and very workable, and compressed charcoal can be jet black and harder to move around. Often they are used in combination. "Conte" is charcoal with a wax binder so smudges a bit less but has the same black richness to it and feels nice and smooth, personally I like it a lot, especially on newsprint.

>can these go on a sketchbook?
Yes both work well in sketchbooks. For gouache you need to have thick paper though that can handle water. They make sketchbooks out of watercolour paper that work well for this, or something like a moleskine is good if you don't dilute the paint too much. Charcoal works on just about any paper, though often people like it on textured paper that has some tooth to it.

>(will they smear when i close it?)
Gouache dries very rapidly, and once it is dry it is quite durable as long as it doesn't get wet again. So it will be fine to close and beat up a bit. Charcoal will smudge once you close the sketchbook though if you aren't careful, so you will need some spray fixative.

>can i carry them around easily?
Yes. There's been a lot of posts online written about making gouache/watercolour portable. Nathan Fowkes and James Gurney are both well known for this.

>are they affordable to be spent on shitty art while learning how to draw/use them?
Gouache can potentially get expensive, but it depends on the pigments you buy. It's very possible to do it on a budget. Research limited palettes. The nature of the medium also means that you will be painting quite small so use less paint than if you do oils so it is cheaper in that sense. As with all traditional paints it costs some up front but lasts a while.

very helpful thanks
i have more questions but i think i get to answer those way better by experimenting myself, xoxo

>I need you to do months of full time work on my passion project and practically make it all for me
>there's 500 full illustrations that need to be done in 6 months
>here's a reference of the level of image I want, it's by some guy called Jaime Jones
>my budget is $12 for everything

Any recent examples of this?

>>2924815
If you are any good as an artist you get tons of these from random nobodies all the time. It's not like there's famous examples.

this was the first layer, which has better colors perhaps but feels less "cohesive". feel free to crit, or something

i'll be back at it when it's dry so looking for opinions

It depends.
How bad do you want it?.

It doesn't matter what your current skill level is. You don't even need to post a picture. If you have the drive to pursue and improve, you have potential. Now fuck off and read the sticky.

That is, unless, you don't really want to get good.

you have creativity, so yes. most people can't get past the regular joe symptom and refuse to draw anything else.
