>"making it without degree"
OP probably doesn't even know that less than 15% of art school graduates get employed in the industry, with the rest all going to work as latte servers whereas real nigga self taught people fill up the rest of the industry

>taking shortcuts in a high-speed job where the pieces you make are made to communicate an idea instead of making a pretty picture (which get looked at for five minutes then forgotten) are gay and stupid

>>2906500
Why?

>>2906510
how does feng's cock taste? do you even work in the industry? i hate normalfags who just parrot stupid bullshit. Just because it's a tool doesn't mean it's straight and intelligent.

You want to draw comics? Then draw comics. Sit down and do it, even if it looks like crap. Make a practice project and just do it. If you can't figure out how to put it together, load up comics you do like and copy the panels to understand how other people put one together. Find one artist you love the shit out of and study him furiously.

You start by drawing what you love and trying to understand how people you love make what they make. Get a feel for characters, storytelling, composition, and environments. You do not grind anything until you find what you love and begin to get some idea of what in particular you want to be doing. The point of the fundamentals isn't to mindlessly grind them until you become "good". The point of the fundamentals is to apply them to the kind of art you wish to be making. If you are at step one, you have to find what you love first. Then worry about the fundamentals and how to apply them to what you want to do. Because what you need to learn is going to be very different depending on which direction you take things. You have no idea what this direction is yet, obviously.

Also most people learn by copying first. They either study from life or by using already existing artwork. Not necessarily books. You might not even understand what books are trying to tell you until you've fiddled a bit on your own. Find your love, a topic you love, and you won't randomly up and quit again. If you know what you like, you'll be grounded. Everything you do should be focused around the kind of comic artist you want to become.

Also, if you want clear guidelines, you may want to invest in a dedicated teacher. Only a teacher can give you that much attention. If you're asking the internet, you need to accept that you'll have to guide yourself to a degree.

I was deeply touched by your post, this is so insightful and different from what people normally say to me.

>>2909008
what does "study an artist" even mean
i know its kinda self explanatory but what does it REALLY mean

>>2908029

What job are you looking for? FZD says that you need a lot of design work, where you analyze and demostrate you understand stuff and can put that knowledge to create cool shit.

Like breaking down the pieces of a Fighter jet, then using knowledge of science to create a fighter jet that could fight underwater, or on a planet with a strong air density..etc

>>2908036
Oh no no, i'm looking forward to work as a freelance illustrator.

>>2908038

Oh, I see. I don't have any good examples for that, but I'll give you a bump.

Doesn't update regularly at all but i like Frenden's tumblr.

Hopefully this project doesn't go to complete shit like Breading Season does.

Anyways if you haven't noticed, sex sells.

>>2908166
who the fuck is this. how are they earning as much as sakimichan and how have i never heard of them

>>2908166
literally who?

>>2905498
looks finished to me

>>2905533
Right foot. Lining on legs needs to be more pronounced same with the dress.

>>2905558
It could also just be line weight. The left legs in the foreground and barely has line weight. Why would the right leg need to be more pronounced?

Im really just arguing cause im bored, i dont know what the original artists intent was. Feels kinda trashy finishing a peice of artwork by somebody else, cause somebody wants it finished. Was it a commission? Is this artist gonna come back to this peice of art latter and think " hey, this was neat, might aswell finish it"!
Is this going to make money somehow?

Its pretty damn nice "as is", what kind of ocd does somebody have, that gives them the urge to post this on an anonymous art forum asking for trivial finishing touches?

I dunno, seems like a waste of time if you ask me, but so was this post!

Both obviously. It takes a life time obviously.

>grinding out the framework and construction behind it, or memorizing and working out ever single pose

This is what they are doing. If you can draw basic shapes at any angle with any proportion with precision, you can draw anything

>>2904254
>If you can draw basic shapes at any angle with any proportion with precision, you can draw anything
Provided that you know what that thing looks like. Proko is an example of someone who has decent foundations and while not perfect he can draw basic forms in space, but because he has no visual library he completely failed when trying to draw something beyond simple forms without reference. If he knew what a kangaroo actually looked like and had those forms in his head, then he could have drawn one without reference easily using his knowledge of basic forms.

Should I take my time with lines or do them somewhat quickly? This may sound stupid but I feel like I fuck up if I pay too much attention and go slowly when I try to copy an image.

Would I be better off studying Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain or Draw a Box?

>>2891084

Line quality is more of a confidence thing and it just comes with practice.
>>2891088
Yes, both will last you a few months. Keys to drawing after right side.

very good thread. VERY

>>2908523

American/Canadian is C I think?

European are larger. D+

Asian smaller. B+

Exceptions to every rule.

I like the amoeba pepe as a concept

A goat headed demon is called Baphomet. Unless that is another sort of made up critter.

do not invite the devil in thyself

Did you try that upstart design/fundies server?

Somebody posted a link to that in the discord thread
