of course eye drops help. but if you're drawing for hours take a break at least once an hour. 10 minutes should be enough just go easy on eyes dude you need those to see what youre drawing.

That sandy feeling is probably due to you not blinking enough due to being very focused on the computer screen. This is making the tear film of your eye become unstable/unreplenished from blinks and more likely to go to shit and evaporate on you. Eyedrops will help with that, or just forcing yourself to blink more often.

A different type of fatigue will also occur from your eye muscles constantly focusing on a screen up close to you + converging your eyes; regular breaks looking off into the distance is also recommended to avoid this. You can also ask your optometrist about glasses specifically for reading (theyre not just for old people!) which can do some focusing for you and let your eyes relax more. For these reasons you also should not try to learn your face too close to the screen.

Also if you're just painting in black and white, consider using a yellow (blue-free) screen filter like flux because certain cells in your eye regulate your sleep patterns through exposure to blue light.

otherwise you'll develop dry eye syndrome and will be fucked for quite a bit till you heal them.

>this anatomy

>>3114973
you should probably aim higher...
>>3114977 the pelvis/stomach looks a bit weird but i dont see much wrong with it

>>3114973
>left hand
>right hand hidden
>small head

That's just the surface what I've picked up, but spending more time looking at it and I could see the anatomy is wonky.

Maybe instead of posting shit threads, you should get back to work.

>>3114450
Study the fundamentals and always head straight into failure so you gain experience. Also left side are also portraits which is what right also is so we don't know if the artist sucks at everything else. But yeah others progress don't matter. Post your work so we can help you instead.

You drew for four years and haven't improved? Doing what?

>>3107734
>the title of artist is alluring
I think it's more that the occupation is alluring, no cubicle and 9-5
>put food on the table
paying the bills is certainly a primary motivation
>the admiration of others
like every other human, of course
>to realize your ideas, to convey a feeling?
necessarily
>anime grills
no.

I think you're missing the main thing, which is that it's an enjoyable activity. That's why I drew pictures as a child, that's why I draw them today. It's fun, and as you improve it's increasingly rewarding.

Dtudy perspective, color theory, lighting and do real life studies. This one is muddy mess.

>>3117022
Why would they need to study perspective for this, isn't this "zero perspective" as there is no visible geometric structure? Or did you meant atmospheric perspective? Though if he wanted to add structures they're a blurry mess anyway.

OP needs to know more about rendering his clouds and etc. Also needs better edge control.

yeah cus its gay.

it looks like you whitewashed a nigger straight outta black dynamite

obsessing over finding the most perfect optimal smartest most effecient way of pratising is just a sophisticated form of procrastination.

pick up a book on the topic you're interested in/struggling with and use your initiative. stop looking for shortcuts in the form of a perfectly spelled out recipe for you to follow
