He has Asian eyes he can see value difference without squinting.

Too he just look like a neet

4 years sounds like a good amount of time to git gud. What kickstarted Guweiz's career though? What does he even do? Must be all under NDA I guess.

In the meantime you get to hang out with great artists by reading and engaging their books. It will elevate you a fuckload.

Study gradations. Use of abstraction. Colour.

>The only other way to differentiate yourself seems to either be extremely top-tier design and style, but you dont get that without years on experience or hands-on training.
So you're saying, that you're a beginner and suck. Nothing new here.

>>3139007
so the issue is not that you CAN'T get it, but that it'll take a long time?

that's a microwave oven, anon.
do the work everyday, and wait for the stuff to figure itself out.

You have one extra day if you start today instead of tomorrow.

If you're aiming STRICTLY for concept art, then it's pretty easy. It would take you a week at most to familiarize yourself with the interface. Learn to move, rotate and scale. Those are the things you'll be using the most.

Download some torrents with hundreds of premade models, just drag and drop, and paint over. Sets like this

There is for cars, furniture, etc.

Then you can move into modeling.

3D isn't even comparable in difficulty and time to 2D. The entry bar is lower so there are more scrubs. 2D is abstruse, because there are no instructions when you are lost. No handholding. You can't google "How do I think about this form?", "How can I simplify these shapes". You have to figure out everything yourself. You could google for examples of how other artists have done it, but that doesn't guaranties that you'll find one specific for you situation.

3D is the opposite. Everything is documented. Whenever you have a doubt, don't figure it out. Google it. Look for tutorials and books. It's mostly technical, like learning to operate a machine.
Compared to 2D which is working directly modding your own brain, controlling your muscles, discipline, your visual library, your emotions and shit.

Man ur such as fucking pussy bro

Books won't tell you what you're doing wrong specifically and how to fix it.

I don't care enough to list the other things, but the biggest difference between art school and self teaching is the critique which can make or break your journey.

>What are the benefits of going to art school vs self teaching by doing and some moderate book instruction? Certainly its costly and you will make many mistakes but not nearly as costly as going to art sxhool. wont you potentially develop a style entirely your own?
You can do everything you can do in a school on your own. But -

This. Having an instructor push you to do better is insanely helpful. Art school makes a big deal out of group critiques, but my experience has been that it's a waste of time because the professors almost universally give the best critique(there was that one "digital isn't art" guy but even he wasn't completely full of shit).

Art school will also push you out of your comfort zone because you'll have to grow to meet the challenges of your classes.

I'm currently attending art school, so ama I guess.

at school:
You can form real life relationships at school.
You get professional and fairly trustworthy guidance how to navigate the sea of information (there are more books or tutorials than you can work through in a lifetime).

Post your work

I see that there's Wacom 13HD's for about 710 used. That's about as much as I'm willing to spend. 799 sounds a lil bit too much.

But I don't really trust used stuff right now. Should I buckle up and get over that?

Not op but wanted to ask. What's a good first tablet to learn digital?

>>3139088
it's awful

>>3138470
>What do you normally do if you get too frustrated while drawing?
I suffer and thinking of suicide.

Take a breath, stand up and pace around. Take a shower or lay down for a little.

I find that masturbating helps sometimes.

Try learning on your own first and see if you can do it.

>spending a ton of money just to learn how to do pretty drawings

LOLMAO just educate yourself with ebooks famalam

When talent is a myth, the garbageman would rather draw, and go on the internet and tell us how mediocre we are.
All instead of picking up the garbage. Thus, society suffers.

You end up with an artist having to do the garbagemans job and a garbageman shitting out loomis figures. Two mediocre lives.

Basically here is your problem, not talented starting at 25 year old white male (yes i am aware there some women on here, but hush hush dear the men are talking)

Art is not fun. You cannot force yourself to like it. The talent gets you through the hard parts, because all of it is hard. You do art because you are good at it and don't know how to do anything else. Anybody can be a garbageman, but should everyone sign up for the position tomorrow?

If anyone can be an ________, then the position is for the dude who is good at jack shit and has no talent.

Just please, let me assure you, despite what replies you may read, remember, I am trying to help you.

Any other job in the world has a quadrillion times more perks, societal praise, a paycheck, honor in it.
This is why artists start young, and are born not made.
We DECIDE at a young age, to choose the job that has zero perks. Artist. Even though you might consider being told you are talented a perk, it is meaningless to a true artist.

Frankly, sir, You don't get to fuck around and smoke weed at mcdonalds then come here and tell me we are the same, that we have the same potential. You chose to be an artist because you read some article on the internet.

But whatever, go ahead and prove me wrong.
Throw out whatever counterexamples and images you want at me. I will simply smirk knowing that my post kept your little fingers busy long enough to type out some response instead of launching into your next god awful abonimation you harken to title "a work of art".

Bru I'm a pro, I understand why most people here won't make it it's because they lack discipline. I drew 8 hrs a day for 2.5 years to be pro. It's up to them to change their lives. You cannot save them from it. The key to art is Dunn Dunn Dunn going to the gym regularly! Teaches you self confidence and that discipline to make it thru the tough times

i don't understand your post, can you say what you mean by all that ??

I don't have a tumblr account and I don't think I've ever encountered a warning telling me to log in.

I'm literally googling random porn tumblrs and I can view all of them.

Could you link a blocked one? Doesn't have to be yours if you don't want.

>>3136527

are you sure you're not logged into some tumblr? because when i open my tumblr with an incognito chrome tab, i get the screen saying 'this tumblr may cointain sensitive material'. and by clicking 'safe search is on' right below that i get the login prompt asking for email and password.

but you certainly will be able to find plenty of adult tumblrs that haven't been flagged yet. i can't think of one other than mine that i know to be flagged sadly.

>>3136511
I think you are making too big a deal out of this.
Peple that are interested in porn will make tumblr accounts. You'll still keep getting followers. All the people that follow you didn't make an account because of your art, but they already had one.

I really don't understand all the drama behind tumblr going sfw.

Also, never put all your eggs into just one bakset.
I post my stuff on tumblr, twitter and hentai foundry, plus a friend and just started a collaboration porn site for our comics and art. Imo that's the best way to operate.
