another great one, by Mysteryben27

by the way, what do you think the future of youtube animation is? i'd like to get into it but a lot of people say it's about to crap out. apparently it's not worth it anymore?

I understand it's takes a lot of time to produce even a few minutes of animation, but most of those animators have very little skill in terms of draftsmanship, illustration, and concept. Where the artistic integrity.

I can only hope Allah will bless us with better animators and smite these dumpster bin shitters in the future.

I'm just about to go through his portrait series myself, dunno anyone else that covers it so extensively in the video format than him

Using his face videos as an example, the ones I think you're mistaking for 'showing you how to draw something' is essentially a study of the thing (the 'anatomy and structure' videos). They're exercises to understand the anatomy and forms of the feature.

His step-by-steps then demonstrate his own method. The knowledge of the anatomy is the same, the steps are different.

If you're watching these videos just copying his exact steps you're doing it wrong and you're not going to learn to draw the features from other angles. Following along might be useful once or twice but you need to learn the anatomy and the way the feature works, not how he did that particular drawing step-by-step.

Unless you go to school for it, art is very much a self-starter sort of thing. If you can't push through it or develop strategies to keep you moving, you might be better off pursuing a career where other people push for you.

damn. the thing is i work a 9-5 in an entirely different field (engineering) and it drains me of time and energy. what's your story?

>>2454380
>>2454400


Mix it up brah, try a new medium, make your own sketchbooks with cool paper, change your setting. I work a non art 9-5 and most days for lunch go out and sketch buildings or people in the food court. I got into a slump of just drawing from life in my house or life drawing session, and drawing en plain air was a major inspiring change that is so much more fun than I could have ever guessed, once I got over the anxiety of doing art in public of course.

The damage is allready done, and it would be no good if they didn't also burn all the people in jewtube making tutorials of things they don't know how to draw in the first place

If people can't tell just by looking that the author of this abomination can't draw for shit, then they never had a chance to begin with

this.

The "artist" who shat out pic related has crawled all up his own asshole and is pretending to be an art teacher and makes all kinds of shitty tutorials. And people eat all his shit up like it's fondue or something.

I used to write because I was really good at it. Then I realized the only reason I wrote was because I couldn't draw (yet I still wanted to express ideas I had in my head), it hit me that all this time I spent working on my writing I could have spent learning how to draw. I have a lot of lost time and I wish I bit the bullet and started learning art earlier.

Ever since I started I haven't looked back. To each his own, but damn does drawing feel a hell of a lot more rewarding than writing.

>>2459186
Holy shit this, so much this. I've just started getting to grips with anatomy and going to practice scenery and architecture next, it's so liberating seeing the characters and bullshit worlds you've created in word come to life on paper man

know how to code in 3 languages...
Can speak with maybe 3...
what else do I know... I dunno...

Oh look it's this thread again.

Yeah it's pointless OP so please stop drawing and anyone else who has this thought in their head do follow in OPs footsteps. Your contribution to suiciding out of arting is a valuable one.

>>2459112

You cannot become good at digital sculpting without drawing skills.

I think youve been talking to the wrong people, OP

What kind of art style is this?

Ignore the big paper for a minute. Just take out the sketch pad you're used to drawing in and start on some thumbnails, just tiny sketches of ideas, compositions and subject matters. Think about imagery you're interested in drawing. Portraits? Fantasy? Architecture? What are you into? Find a starting point and launch from there.

Also there are some art prompt generators out there that you can use to help you get off the ground

http://artprompts.org/
http://somecallmebeth.com/art-idea-generator
http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=writeprompt

Or you can use some of the RTDs

I've been wondering this as well.
Aside from having a base following to get you started, I think what you draw is as important as how well you can draw.
I've seen plenty of very skilled Patreon artists who have virtually no followers, and it seems to be because people aren't interested enough in what they draw. Specific projects or fanart seems to be the way to go.

>>2456791
not need to be a big thing, if u have 200 followers on tumblr and get commissioned 1-3 time per week just open that shit. just look how shitty am i, shadman, just put dicks on poorly drawed women and get all the obama coins.

This is genius just imagine the amount of monies goyim would pay by the thought of their waifus having feminine dick. Has anyone tried a project for basically drawing people's favorite characters bearing Chad's thundercock?

the weekly skill ballpark thread huh

>>2459200

How could anyone even tell you? What do you want people to say? You'll get to level 6 in one year, level 8 if you practice hard. Just look up examples of people's work at certain points to get an idea, but understanding that's basically meaningless because it depends on so much of what you want to do and how effective you are at practicing.

>>2459200
You could either suck or be great.
Litteraly the only answer to possibly give.

I got a pilot metropolitan pen to try them out, and in my experience the lines aren't terribly different to a fine tip pen, but I think it feels nice to use. You can vary the line width a little bit by turning the pen, though that also can disrupt ink flow and make your line skip. Basically there's an 'optimal' way to hold it that has a pretty steady line weight, then you can use the back for a much thinner line, but as you turn it from one to the other it can skip, if that makes sense. Drawing in general with it can lead to an inconsistent ink flow, they seem to work much better with flowing lines (like handwriting in cursive). I still enjoy doodling with it though and I think sketches come out looking nice.
I'm no expert though, I've only doodled with mine and it's far from a high end fountain pen.

I think I've heard that dip pens are better for flexible line weights, but I've never used one.

>>2457211

interesting, thanks. that makes me rethink getting one if it doesn't really add anything new from other pens.

>>2457510

If you want a pen that can really vary line weight, get a brush pen. It takes a lot of getting used to, but once you get precise with it you can get massive variations in your lines.

Loomis

Looks pretty teeany to me.

Sycra has a vídeo explain proportion, too bad he only do male body, but its worthy looking.

>>2458678

I didn't draw that, it's an example of the level I'd like to be at.

i attended couple of their online classes, pretty good especially their fundamentals to drawing.

>>2455915
They have some very specific classes. It's better than taking a more broad degree and studying a load of stuff that is never going to be any use to you

Would something like that not be much more expensive than going to a European/UK art school? (If it works the same way unis do)

Btw he paid 1500$ for it and it was considered to be a bargain.

It looks kitsch as fuck. It wouldn't look out of place in a cruise-ship or hotel desu.

>>2459134
Looks like it would have been worth 1500 if the artist spent 2000 dollars on materials. :^)
