I'm an animator, here are some of my sketches.

No, the secret is having fun.

It's not a secret that getting a (quality) education in art is a boon. Don't let /ic/ meme you into thinking instruction serves no purpose, this board is masterful at taking a sensible premise ("Art school costs too much, and there has never been a time where you could educate yourself more easily") and warps it into bullshit ("Art school is 100% useless!").

If you're disciplined and keep yourself accountable, self-teaching is sufficient. There are enough artists without formal education to demonstrate it's obviously possible. The plethora of resources available today is mindboggling. What school offers is:
A) Direction. You get told what you need to produce, you produce it. If you're taking a class on perspective, you'll be instructed on perspective and then told to do perspective exercises, and if you don't, you're wasting your time and money.
B) A system of accountability. It forces you to do something, even if you'd rather not. This can mean strengthening fundamentals you might neglect when accountable only to yourself.
C) Feedback. If your instructor is somebody whose work you admire, then their advice will be of far, far greater value to you than that of some anonymous fuckwit on /ic/ who for all you know has completely different taste, goals, etc. Or perhaps hardly draws at all. A good teacher has been teaching long enough to identify what's wrong, how to tell you what's wrong, and how to fix it. Many very skilled artists can't do that, being a good artist and a good art teacher are not necessarily the same.
D) Networking. You meet people, some will go on into the industry, some instructors already have experience in the industry. If they like you, they'll gladly help you.
F) Documentation. Some people might not say the piece of paper at the end is worth as much as skill, and they'd be right. But if you want to work abroad, you often need some sort of documentation. If you graduated from Calarts or something, it might also catch someone's eye.

And since I ran out of space, I'll add the conclusion: All those things are great, none are required. You can make do without any of it, if school is too expensive and you have the drive.

You can also take lessons without necessarily "going to art school". Most people who have taken lessons tend to agree it helped them reach the next level, if you get a decent instructor it will be likely to help you overcome a plateau where you're struggling but don't know where.

Go to the porn thread, you shitter.

If sycra has multiple personalities, how do you know you're not sycra?

Honestly the only thing I find really impressive about this drawing is that there aren't any smudge marks

I'm too lazy to crit, but other than the assembled junk on the floor, most aspects of this drawing are really shoddy. The tubes and screen are totally flat and look like rough sketches, the robot doesn't look like it's even the subject of the drawing, it's muted and the entire composition seems to work against it. I'm glad you feel proud about it but you can probably do much better in 2 months just grinding some fundamentals and studying composition. You'll look back in 2 months and wonder why you set the bar so low

>>2873138
Nope, not yet. I haven't gone that far out of the comfort zone. What size paper is this though?

>>2873145

Also OP to answer your question, I seem to raise the bar each time I grind fundamentals. Especially if it involves any part of the human body. I'm deathly afraid of drawing anything below the neck, other than maybe the butthole, of which I have arcane knowledge of.

thanks much mural man

somebody please kill this op

art is really, really hard, and i don't feel like i'm improving and it makes me sad and mad

>no desk
>have to draw on the floor hunched over my sketchbook
>drool on my drawing like the slack-jawed mouthbreathing troglodyte I am
>for some reason think it's a good idea to remove the drool with my own tongue
>lick the paper and get a mouthful of ink

well my first criticism is that I don't get the joke of the comic, and I can't tell if it's racist or not

>>2878181
i assume you remember video stores having a porch monkey section in them?

>>2878171
Few places where the words crunch together, making it hard to read. May be worthwhile to push hatman's expression a bit further towards sardonic in panel 2.

Writing overall could use a bump in quality. I get the joke, but the delivery falls flat. Then again, who the fuck am I? No one, that's who.

Makes me not want to live really.

But I'm still here.

And I'll still be here until I get all my hugs and praises.

Use clip studio paint

>>2876789
Combine 1 and 2 obviously. 3 is a brush with 0% minimal size and slightly lower density.

>Can you get good doing this
You don't need to be good if you have a cohesive style, but it sounds like you just want to try and copy other people's styles.

Also look up James Stoke.

find a large work surface. Plot 2 vanishing points off your page on the horizon line and get to work, whats so hard about this?

Learning perspective is about making the fundamentals click, i think a lot of the digital hacks make this process more difficult.

>>2876542
Google things Gerhard Grimm. I don't know how accurate that is. It looks at least inspired by German Expressionism.

thx you lot, first i think h.p grieshaper or aldo patocchi, but its not

no one ?
