I hate this fucking computer.

It's a pain every artist knows, friend.

But I'm not instantly good at it like I was at the few other things I enjoy doing.

>Want to draw cartoons and doodles that pop into my mind
>Drawing skills of a 1st grader
>Read guides
>Tell me to draw realistic shit
>Says it'll take years for any progress

Becoming an artist is a meme. All my friends who had even a modicum of talent started off at that level rather than building to it.

>>91484779
All your friends started off as 1st graders. They just didn't stop between 1st grade and now, same with most artists.

Start today, and don't stop. Your friends may have a head start, but it's a marathon, not a sprint. Walk if you have to, but keep heading for the finish line.

I finished this.

>>91484779
Speaking from my own personal experience I wasn't any better or worse than any other 1st grader when i was that age. Also I almost failed the arts class I had in 5th and 6th grade, I just kind of skated by with what I imagine is the equivalent to a C- in murrican grading system. Some people have more talent, but ultimately it comes down to how much you work on it

Yeah, that feeling sucks. Gotta train yourself to save really often, especially if you're working with a big file on photoshop or something.

>>91484933
That looks very disturbing! Good job, anon. Good job.

>>91483833
>that moment when your alarm fucks up and you sleep through your drawing class and the college is closed on friday so you have to come in on breaks

well I guess I have to come in on my day off, unless I work my ass off thursday. Is it acceptable to post pics of still lives here? If so, I'll post some when I get back from painting.

i don't really believe in talent when it comes to art, it's a skill. I mean you can have a unique way of thinking or looking at something, and really the closest thing to talent is a passion or drive to keep pursuing a skill. Everyone has to start somewhere.

If it looks disturbing then I succeeded at my goal. Dark Souls is a hell of an inspiration (and also a source of infinite rage)

Op. All I do is draw. When do I get a break?

>>91487000
You should add some veins.

>>91484779
if you dont want to draw realistic shit dont do it, draw the cartoons you like and copy images until you are familiarized with it, draw what yuou like, drawing is hobby more than a discipline for a lot of people, the urge to git gud will make you reserach the realistic bullshit later, just get into drawing and have fun.

Does character design count? I can't draw

>>91489055
I think there's definitively some worth in following some guidelines about realistic art before stylizing for an animu style or something. I'm not saying you have to be a master of perspective and human forme like /ic/ autists would have you believe, but I definitely feel that I can draw characters in more dynamic and fluid poses ever since I took a few days off to train realistic shit

>>91489144
If you want criticism, I think the wolf eye looks kinda weird, I had to double check to make sure it wasn't a cyclops. Maybe reducing it a bit would help

Female character lokds really good, amazing job

>>91489429
yeah but its a chore, if he wants to draw he first needs to have fun and actually enjoy drawing before start making studies to git gud.

Is it new? You might be able to get a refund or exchange if it's faulty.

Did my 1500 words today. Work hard y'all!

I'm going on vacation the next four days. But I'll work on piano books and drawings shit loads of boxes on my free time.

How's that?

>>91484649
>not Ctrl-S-ing automatically every minute

Live and learn, nigga.

How do I force myself to draw faster? I animate stuff and tend to zoom in too much to fix tiny details.

>>91491583
I did 0 words. I'm going to bed.

Your post is an insult to every artist who ever actually put the effort in to "get good".

I just want to get good enough to be proud of my work without feeling ashamed. I know I have a long way to go, but I'll get there one day.

No thanks. Juggernaut doesn't dehydrate to look like a leather bag like a body builder.

That's like an album cover.

I like it.

30 second gestures. Look up posemaniacs. Do a bunch of those everyday and you'll notice a difference.
