To like this forced meme one would have to be pretty new.

Enjoy the learning/creative process, not the result. Time is going to keep moving, and 5 years from now you can either have 5 years of good practice under your belt and be pretty good or have nothing but regrets. 25 is still young, relatively speaking.

I'm 23. I don't see why you would not be able to spend time learning something for the sake of learning.

What's stopping you from just drawing everyday? Is it just you rushing things?

If yes, then we're the same.

The answer is just draw. I'm having problems with it too but most of the time, the only thing that keeps me from making progress is complaining (which you are doing right now instead of drawing).

Make projects, make them feel official. Make a single drawing of all the ones you've drawn in a week, write down what you got better at and what you need to work on in the upcoming week.

Portraits, anatomy, perspective, line quality, color theory. The basics keep you alive and, make time here and then to make something new.

There was a Ted-Talk about how short the human life is and this picture shows exactly. Print it, check all the weeks that you have lived until now, make a portfolio, do studies and all that shit, learn, and now, after each week that passes, put those drawings in that week's page and you have something to show. If you have a week where you have nothing to show, that's bad.

Depends on your goal.
Most people are too focused on portraits or character design to bother with it, but if you're planning to do illustrations, it's an essencial.

>composition
>hidden technique

How, exactly?

>in the sense it separates the boys from the adults?

Way to make your thread substantially more retarded by throwing this added vague statement.

Anyway, yes, I'd consider good composition a fundamental skill, even for shit like portraits. You can have a skillfully done drawing that's poorly arranged and it'll look bad, and a mediocre drawing skillfully arranged can sometimes still look somewhat pleasing. It'll make a good drawing great.

bump, looks like some people are already downloading

Just spend $30 for a month of NMA and download all of their reference photos. Their shit is far better than this collection of poorly lit porn and heavily airbrushed models. You shouldn't study from this crap.

I mean on the one hand animation is expensive so if it's going t be a series over a movie it needs to be simple so it's easy to animate quickly. If it's a movie though...I dont see much of an excuse, especially if it's pixar making it.

It's a shitty redesign regardless though

>>2846150
yeah, this design is just shit,
seriously, they had ONE job, just make him look godzilla esque

CalArts and the generic detailed beast bullshit are both cancer. Scrap the whole thing altogether.

This is graphite? How the fuck? It's not shiny and shitty like a lot of realistic graphite drawings I see. Also, how did he get such dark value? Can graphite even go that dark?

>>2844964
drawing 1:1 is easy to learn/teach/useless in todays world. Realism from imagination is impressive though.

>>2844965
Good paper. Good camera. Good lighting. Don't shine a spotlight directly on your shit.

It's a good way to be a drawfag.

>>2847882
Popularity, easy (You)s and if people like your shit enough you can slowly ease your way into doing more and more commissions.

I'd personally avoid becoming known as a 4chan drawfag, shit can backfire pretty bad if you're unlucky.

I'm 40 years old, does that mean I have no chance?

>>2845040
you're not dead, are you?
you've got at least another 30 years in you
spend 5 studying art, and enjoy 25 more of creating shit for the whole world to see

you can do a lot in a single year
imagine 25

That's only if you're young. The op does have a point. That's why most world class athletes started as kids.
