The brain is a bit slow and requires you to do things multiple times before it realizes you want to remember that.

>>2880302
pretty much this OP
Your brain literally needs time to create new paths for neurons and shit. constantly trying to learn new things is only gonna put strain on your brain.

So this is normal for everyone?

All of the faces look fucky

It could have more foregrounding. Nice value control in the water which actually looks like it's churning. The dog looking to the left has his head framed by a dark value that emphasizes him in the image and makes him stand out.

The eyes folds of the man and his unibrow stand out. I'd be interested to know if his eyes were that far apart, very often when you're translating a photo to canvas things must be conveyed more tightly. He looks affable but not exactly English, it may be due to the brushes she's using... A good sable is hard to find but I recommend Shesto ModelCraft brushes.

Keep drawing for ten more years.

To learn and understand our pain and how much technology has helped us
Kids these days always wanting to skip the important lessons

Why should I care

>>2877407
I think an argument can be made that digital is nowhere near as tactile as traditional yet, and nowhere near as easy to control in terms of getting varied mark making. So if you have traditional skills you have a better idea of what subtleties are possible and might be more likely to try to reproduce them while painting digitally. But if you just wanna paint like sakimichan, don't worry about it.

Heve you tried sculpting?

>>2877238
some time ago i tought about trying that but i also told myself that "if i don't know how to represent the twisting/twirling of a muscle on a paper, how could i sculpt one?" do you think that it would improve my understanding of the placement of the muscles on the bones doing that? (sorry fot the approximative english btw)

>>2877245
Yes, because it's a lot easier to sculpt something than draw it. You don't worry about perspective and translatin construction of forms from 3d into 2d like in the case of drawing. You literally only have to worry about putting the bones, muscles etc where they belong. I wish I knew that when I was starting out. Try it, all you have to lose is a couple of evenings and a price of some basic materials + tools, which is much cheaper than the invaluable time you will spend on struggling with anatomy just on paper. Plasticine is cheap as fuck, monster clay is pricier but easier to work with.

i think she can actually break rapists tho

If I can draw girls cute enough that anons are willing to fap to it, I made it.

You know what, I find it very uplifting. Good for you anon, and good luck!

"making it" is a self-perpetuating running meta-gag for unrealistic expectations juxtaposed with the proliferation of amateurish art in the board (which is fine), and the fact that beginners tend to be fixated on technical development and skewed goals/expectations for artistic growth?

but there's also real anxiety about trying to "git gud" *because competition is fierce, niches are innumerable, and sometimes you just don't know what you want out of the field, or if you have *it* in you to be good enough to make a living off of it.

>>2877564
It doesn't work like that's

Semi-good taste but still fuck you for creating your own thread.

Too many factors that aren't well defined. What is "making it"? What exact age do they start? What type of education are they getting? How much practice are they doing? How talented are they?

As general rules of thumb though, with proper training someone can reach a professional level of competence in 3-6 years. Reaching a master level will take 10+ years, possibly even longer depending on how you define it, and not everyone will actually reach it even if they put in the time.

well I ran the numbers OP and it doesn't look good...

Wait, what? Is this a thing?

Yes, there are ateliers like the Watts atelier that offer different courses online. I discovered online ateliers through this video which I found to be very informative:

>>2880330
That video was okay in my opinion. Watts was full on shilling just fucking school in that video and once I realized that I was pretty mad.
>oh normal art schools are shit because they aren't ateliers
>oh ateliers are shit because you can't rewind
>so you know what's best?
>an online atelier
>oh which by the way, mine is the only one
>it's the best
>yes you heard that right
>it's the best
>you can rewind and see things over and over

So, yes OP, you got tricked by Mr. Old Watts who by the way, must be you right? Watts comes to shill himself on /ic/ sometimes. I'm sure of it because no one actually goes there.

Art not by me.

American? Look yourself in the mirror.

>>2879586
Google where fat deposits are on people. Men and women are different, so study both.

Because I can ask dumb question anonymously unlike with a professional artist. I once thought about emailing one and had anxiety the whole day while hovering my mouse over the send button. I just gave up and went back to /ic/.

Because you're a faggot.
