>impossible to get good.
If you are satisfied with your ability, then you can't improve. So getting good is bad.

It is better to always think you can be better, and this does not require 10k hours.

>>2487706
Mastery =/= getting good.

10K hours is what it takes to become a "Master". If you take things slow you can certainly attain mastery over a slow period of time. You have a life time remember. Hell if 4 years is all it took to become a Master why isin't every kid that went to an Art school good?

Theres a certain amount of Aptitude and Skill + that 10K hours.

Fear nawt, Art is one of those things that you've seen your entire life. You probably already have a year + just by doing this shit causally.

>>2487706

you don't need to be a master to accomplish a lot of things in art. Making a career out of it is at least as much as who you know and how you promote yourself as it is about being competent, and you certainly don't need to be a "master" to make work that people will pay for. The best time to start is yesterday, the next best time is right now.

mental sexuality. I guess. or become asexual. or get a gf and fuck a lot to keep your libido up.
the variables and outcomes aren't the same for everyone.

Become the Übermensch and disregard women and acquire aesthetics.

>Is it true that being an artist will make you immune to nudity?
no.
>How will you still get off on stranger's nude photos if you've mastered desexualizing the nude figure?
powerful instincts that have developed over millenia

why

Did you ask why I painted it with syringes? It is a style called pointillism. I used syringes to control the amount of paint more accurately. It has a lot of texture, hard to see in a photo. With brushes, it was hard to get the same amount of paint off the brush with each dot. But with syringes, I have complete control. I am also interested in the science of how we see. Rods and cones. So there is a lot of optical illusion happening as well.

Yeah whatever. I just posted that to get the attention of horny faggots who also may happen to have good advice.

>yfw you will never be BBC or Kyle

Where is BBC I miss him

Where is Kyle I miss him

For things like this, the "sketchbook" is often the final work, and they have secret, actual sketchbooks that are just as messy as yours.

Because there are "sketchbooks" and then theres sketchbooks.

Well said

If you gain a main audience of tumblr teenagers and you say something "problematic" you will be utterly destroyed. Just get an audience of normal people.

>>2484345
Well what about hosting your art on tumblr? I mean surely there is a community on tumblr that consumes art that isn't steven universe homestuck ponies?

Can I just host my normal drawing shit there and not attract the attention of the typical tumblr community?


And what is the measure for that? I mean I've seen people get into shit for drawing characters that look "too asian" and branded racists, or draw a girl too sexy and labeled sexists.
Or even people not respecting the pronouns of housepets.

>>2484311
At least give us an idea what you are talking about when you say questionable past. Criminal record? Political activism? Drug abuse? Gay porn? No one can predict how people would react to a questionable past when that can mean pretty much anything.

your best off posting in either the beginner or stylization thread friend. Making your own thread soley for just one picture can be seen as rude, since it gives off the feeling of "I'm better than everyone in those threads, I need my own focus". I know that it wasn't your intention, but because of this most critiques will be needlessly blunt and violently direct. Just a word of caution.

other than that, welcome to /ic/

>>2488867
Not OP. you're a fuckin faggot. Who the fuck cares this dude made a thread of his art. Go fuck your self. This isn't your category to make rules like that you cunt. Now fuck off.

>>2489415
The only person you should be competing with is yourself. Be better then you were yesterday. Stay focused. As far as pencils "H" pencils are "hard lead (graphite)" for crisp lines etc. "B" pencils are "soft lead" for shading. My advice to you is find something you like to draw and draw it. Don't be afraid to change mediums. Also start learning anatomy structure. Draw a skull 100 x. Practice technique and skill but also have a fun project to keep you motivated. Also... Do no less than at the very least an hour a day on art. Otherwise your not gonna get better. Good luck.

>>2489421
Also... Draw depressing shit if your depressed. People love it.

>>2489415
the very first step is to develop a love of drawing. get yourself accustomed to drawing every day, no matter what it is. dont worry if your drawing sucks, draw to make yourself happy. once you do this, channel that love of drawing into technical skill by using resources from pdfs ect. this way you will have a more positive association with how you improve, and you'll be sure to do it consistently

>Stop drawing and watch some anime
>A few days later smoking weed with friends
>Come back home all baked, open the drawing
>Just draw, not giving a fuck
>Favorite drawing I've ever done, the only wall was inside my mind all along

If you're a very analytical person, occasionally drawing on drugs will make you improve a lot in one afternoon, I'm convinced.
