This kind of art is made and enjoyed by superior human beings. Most of us just cannot comprehend the beauty and true meaning of this piece. We will never be able to understand and appreciate. I admire those who can. I wish I had the spark.

>Bammes

I don't read Cuck

>Jeno Barcsay

One of the worst anatomy books ever

>Imaginative Realism

>lets make puppets and dolls houses and sheiit

Otherwise not that bad, Hampton is babby tier and kind of a shit draughtsman so it's only worth reading if you aren't willing to put in the hours with heavier, but better material.

Replace with Richer, Vanderpoel, J.D Harding and Edgar Payne.

Just look at the pictures in the Bammes book. I included the Jeno Barcsay book because it has diagrams of the bones and muscles, is there a better book that does this? It's not bad, but the drawing is a bit eccentric. The Hampton book is excellent. I don't care for Loomis but I included them anyway.

>I'm mostly thinking more books on painting.
having a book lists for painting is not bad, but should not be the single one, others might hop in with focus on drawing, and they will start bashing on the list since it does't help them

tick tock wage cuck
trying to freelance now? i dont think your boss will like that

It sucks. Better to work in a studio.

Freelancing is a nice little bonus or something to do between real gigs, but in my experience it's very hard to make a living at.

everything is fine until you try to live of your art, i have to work at a school for 3 days a week and 2 days at home in order to provide. other than that, it's great living like this

Both, bitch!!!

what's important isn't how you get to something but whether you fundamentally understand why it works

the only reason to do things the hard way is to try to understand how something works at it's most basic levels; manual control from beginning to end ensures that you understand it through and through. If you already understand the subject, there would be no reason to not use perspective tools to save both time and effort. For example, you could manually go in and put texture in a digital painting with a small hard round brush or you could just make a fucking splatter brush and do the same job in a shorter amount of time. But, someone who doesn't know how to effectively place texture will be no better at using the splatter brush than using the round brush.

why both? He said that 3d programs can quickly and easily transform any pixel into any perspective you want

Most NEET losers populating this board dream of making $1000 on patreon and living from making porn commissions and spending 10h/day drawing.

Ask yourself how mentally limited they are and then try imagine those guys and their lives in next 5, 10 and 15 years.

Oh and btw, main reason why most people here won't "git gut" is exactly this - living shit, unremarkable existences where they don't even get the basics because all they see is shit and struggle. I mean, how can you appreciate forms of human body when ultimately you hate people and don't want to interact with them?

You have to be much more precise in your perspective. Ironically, even though artificial structures are usually much simpler, they can be more challenging to draw because everything has to be on point.

Here's some more since you love it so much op.

according to your xp bar, i'd say 6-7 years

good thing skill is a concrete measurement

A lot can happen in the next few years op, at the moment though it's not looking very good. Perspective and anatomy wise it's super messy. Don't forget your basics and learn them properly.

I spent the last 15 minutes writing a long winded statement about motivations being in the right place and having a job as a main goal being mis-guided but fuck man I dunno, we're all different, who am I to say what you should or shouldn't strive toward?

Anyway, you've got a long way to go. Honestly about 8 years at the least if you work hard at it. You might be at the point where you haven't yet discovered how much there is to learn to become a "good" artist so that may seem like a long time but trust me, there's a lot to learn and a lot for you to figure out about yourself and your art. From my own personal experience I can confirm this and i think I'm what you'd call a "good" artist, If you were to look through my gallery my art from 8 years ago looks about on par with what you've provided.

So I would say don't worry about striving toward a job at the moment, don't even think about it. Focus on improving and finding enjoyment in that process. If you don't enjoy the process of learning and drawing for your own satisfaction you won't want to stick with it. Beyond that, you just have to keep going.

One piece of advice that always helped me is that with every picture you do, every single one, you need to challenge yourself. Strive for a ratio of 60% what you think you're comfortable with and 40% things you find very challenging. IF you feel like you fucked up that 40%, try it again with different subject matter etc. If you fuck up again, move on to something else for the time being and come back to the other later.
