what's the difference between drawing for fun and drawing as a professional? Do you think drawing for fun is a bad thing to do?
I just whipped up this drawing in a few seconds, free hand.
>what's the difference between drawing for fun and drawing as a professional?
Responsibility, obligations, and money.
>Do you think drawing for fun is a bad thing to do?
No.

Pretty much this. I want to also add critical thinking. An artist who is drawing for fun might not care about practicing anatomy and just want to draw fanart forever, whereas a professional might spend lots of time doing studies just to get better.
How do I enjoy drawing again? I used to draw for fun, now I just get depressed at my lack of progress and how crap I am at it.
to say about this drawing.

Ugly as fuck, nah, i'm kidding,
good one Fio
She has no butt! Give her butt at least some definition..
>>2465547
OK.I work on it in the next drawings.
Hey, I never really show anyone my drawings. Can someone tell me if my art is okay or not? Or some tips to develop better. Here's a random scribble I did with pastels.
Much appreciated (:
>>2458973
it looks like really bad graffiti
Try painting, research abstract art.
>>2458983
lol i know, I was just trying to do random shapes, I mostly like doing trippy doodles like this.

>realize that will never happen
>get sad and shitpost on /ic/, tricking my brain into thinking I'm learning about art
I'VE BEEN LIVING A LIE
THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE
>>2464553
That's ok, even if you managed to make it you would be wracked by impostor syndrome, so those daydreams are the closest you'll ever get to that dopamine rush either way.
What are the stages of drawing and getting good and what characterizes each stage?
The only answer you'll get here is dunning kreuger
But if you mean to 'quantify' the stages of actually improving
gooood fucking luck. also this belongs in the question thread
Is this sketch yours? I like it. Don't know about any spesific stages so can't comment on that.
>loomis
Shit and have no idea how to stop being shit
>Nub
Starting to study but still shit
>Artist
Capable of producing art that doesn't make you cringe when you look at it
>Made it
Capable of making a living off art
What do you guys think about my drawing?

Got directed here. How does one improve character designs?
>>2463143
To develop original character designs is a really difficult thing, mainly because there are so many fictional characters out there.
My best advice: develop your characters personality thoroughly and have a few details that are kind of obscure to that particular individual. Play it up, make it important to the viewer.
As long as you have confidence in your lines, it'll work. Though, it looks like you might have to study and practice up on human anatomy. The more you do it the better your lines look.
Hope this helps.
First off you need to get good at drawing
Read the sticky
start drawing from life first before doing alternative styles.
Every time I make a brush stroke Photoshop cs6 just gets slower and slower
like the program starts off just fine but the more I work on it the slower it gets
is anyone else having this problem? any solutions?
Check on the Task Manager if your memory is fully used or not. Also, what kind of "slowing down" do you mean ? Is it constantly slow, does it have constant small freezes ? Does only the program slow down or the entire computer ? Otherwise google your problem, it's usually quite helpful.
>>2463167
Its not constantly slow, but the more brush strokes I make it gets slower for some reason, and the bigger the canvas and brush the worse this shit gets
and it goes from like a slight brush lag to fucking up the whole program the more I do it
>>2462550
Set up "Performance settings" someting's fucked in there, an you might wanna decrese GPU usage to basic.
What do you guys do when you have drawer's block? In need of inspiration.
>>2464891
Fucking stop whining and draw anything.
>Often a creative block comes from an inability to stay focused on just one task at hand. Your mind feels overwhelmed or distracted by too many things. "Your brain feels like a big knot, and you only think of your kitchen that needs a cleaning," says German-based photographer Matthias Heiderich in Krysa's book. "It makes sense to stop working then, and to re-sharpen the senses."
>Heiderich's solution is what he calls "Once Around the Block," inspired by the name of a song by musician Badly Drawn Boy. Simply getting out of your chair, exploring your own neighborhood, paying attention to the houses and sidewalks and shop windows rather than staying stuck in your head and your workspace, can help reenergize you. "Trying to see the banal objects around you in a new light can be a good brain boost," he says.
>Having endless possibilities to choose from can be overwhelming and ultimately lead to a block. That's why setting rules or parameters for yourself can help you start thinking creatively without getting lost in the wilderness of possibilities.
Who else is sick of fellow artists who take themselves way too seriously and have a holier-than-thou attitude and put down people who aren't as "dedicated" as they are
This shit is supposed to be fun
And it's all subjective
So glad I'm bout to graduate art school
is this what you need to tell yourself since your art is terrible

>art is supposed to be fun

Hey /ic/, I recently finished this painting. It's acrylic on canvas, for a Bob Marley tribute event.what do you think?
>>2463920
it's good enough to get compliments from your mom and friends, so that's positive
>>2463931
Ok, but what's wrong with it? You're response is hardly constructive. What would you have done differently?
>>2463920
Looks more like Nick Cage dressed up as Bob Marley, than it does Bob Marley. :^)
Hey /ic/, just finished my first bust. What do you think?
