Part 2
-Are you still improving at a decent rate despite having a lot of thoughts that have little if nothing to do with what you’re drawing during practise.
-Is just the act of drawing a shit ton enough to improve at least somewhat? Or is it pretty much time wasted as soon as you zone?
-What techniques are you using to stay present in the work?
-Do you think your progress is on par with the average practitioner?

I will. Suck. Your. Dick. If you can produce some relevant peer-reviewed articles on ADHD and drawing. All the articles I’ve seen have been pretty pathetics.

_You can stop reading here, as the rest is pretty incoherent. Or at least more so than the rest_

I am so sincerely sorry if this hasn’t made much sense. And also for how long it got, Christ. I’m just looking for assurances from other ADHD(ers?) that hard work is enough to get to godmode-skill. And yes, of course everyone is going to say focus is important. No shit. Not looking for a circlejerk, just want to get a reality check from from people who’ve run that mile.
Having a hard time conveying this without feeling like a whiny faggot. Thanks to those those victim culture twats, anything even close to asking about learning disabilities has everyone in the room rolling their eyes. Probably a ton of people reading through this shit right now thinking “ok we get it, you’re so quirky-random and self aware. You’re so meta, bra. Tell us more about your stereotypical adhd bullshit you tryhard faggot”.

And god knows I’m not interesting in being some inspirational story for young artists having overcome the adversities of mental whatever. Hell maybe ADHD gives me an advantage. I’ve never talked to any other artists who have that shit though, so I have no idea if I’m on the right track or not.

so people I’m studying for anatomy and faces are Vilppu, Scott Eaton, and David Finch. Attached images is sadly mine.

As a person with severe depression and reading that you committed yourself to this is incredible. There are countless consecutive days where I can't even look at my art supplies. Good on you for sticking with it, and good luck with your replies.

Drew a lot as a kid was considered prodigy. ADD helped me hyper focus on whatever was obsessed with at the time and block out teachers, parents etc and draw on everything and at times it was not appropriate. Life got shittier around 12 and gave up drawing since, trying to get back into it Currently and wish I hadn't let other things get in the way. Keep at it and don't lose it. Become as obsessed as you can with something and finish sketches if possible. Your ability to detail and sketch is probably superb but the rest is likely shit. Try focusing on the boring parts or foundation work/color blocking the most.

>>2443201
Simple.
You can't build a house if you don't know how to make a foundation. It's always better to learn the basics on the simplest format possible, because then you can apply those same basics to any piece of work, and just learn the new specific techniques that come with using varied mediums.

>>2443213
He wants to only draw digitally, (which I find a really dumb thing to limit yourself to just 1 media) so any answers I might give him is just "Why don't I learn it digitally instead of figuring how to transfer it to digital media?"

>>2443213
Exactly what I was going to say

>>2437794
1. Start animating now "you only need sai/ps/flash/easytoon and huion tablet"

2. Do your research

>>2437794
just get good honestly. make a few cuts for your portfolio, move to japan, and then die poor. that's p-much all m8.

>>2437794
>Want to learn animation
>Takes graphic design
>Am I on the right path guise?

Obviously you know the answer to that is no. Graphic design and animation are wildly different things.

Just start drawing. Quit college, you don't need it if you're not going to do graphic design moron, and i doubt those credits will transfer to calarts so you're wasting your time.

You could die tomorrow and all you'll have accomplished is wasting time at a college that doesn't have your program, learning skills for a medium that is vastly different from what you do. Stop.

Jesus Christ, I'd hate to see the thyroid responsible for those eyes.

ayy lmao

>>2443414
RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This place is also dying, it is slow as fuck, there is more shitposting and I just can't stand nose bro.

>>2442414
It's always been this fast

>>2442425
The post rate maybe but the ratio of shitposting has skyrocketed. Makes everything feel much too fast.

It seems like no one bothered to stick around.

>>2443605 How about a drawing then?

>>2443624
no, probably not, 5/10

you only have a future if you put in massive hours like the rest of those who have a future.

t-tellme how to put that color wheel in ps cs6

>>2440749
I don't have PS but I'm guessing you just go up to View, and select color wheel or something.

>>2440749
the wheel ist an ad on that comes pre-instaled in ps, you go to window- extentions- kuller

If you want to be a vis dev artist, study illustration with a course in animation; you'll basically never touch the animation itself. If you want to be a character designer, you should still study illustration, but an animation knowledge will be much more important because you'll need to understand what is a good design for animation. And do NOT learn animation with 3D.

>>2436786
Thanks man. Do you have any recommendations on highly regarded animation courses and illustration courses?

>>2436791
I don't know about illustration as much; I studied animation. I guess CalArts, RISD, SVA, the usual.

>>2443491
How do you know that you want to draw then?

>>2443495
I've always want to draw, I just can't seem to enjoy it

>>2443548
1/ what do you draw
2/ what do you want to draw

post your work

>>2440243
loomis

>>2440239
Yeah, once you throw out that tight brushwork garbage.

Give me some loose brushwork and impasto. Fuck it, mix some other media into that bitch.

Fuck paint on a TV and play H3 under a portrait of the queen.

>>2443493

Hey Sinix how's it going

>>2443493

>>2443504
I wish I was Sinix.
I'm probably his only fan. I know he browses /ic/ though.

i reallly like the shading. the crosssects r butiful.

>>2442874
wow the eyes are so lifelike

>>2442874
just the right amount of loomis, good job anon. you'll make it.

Paint tool sai has a good stabilizer. Looking at your drawing though it looks like you just need more practice. Im assuming you're using a tablet and those can take a long time to get use to. Just keep working at it.

>>2442614
there are ways to make lines smoother besides stabilizer.
1) you could draw bigger and then scale it down for presentation. some line inconsistencies will be "discarded" if they weren't too drastic, cause when you scale down, you lose data.
2) don't connect your line (you make connect them later if you wish). it makes drawing confident strokes much easier, which brings me to
3) draw a sketch first. line quality comes down to confidence and when you're not sure what you're drawing or where to place lines, that slows down the process which makes the lines wobbly or just plain wrong.

>>2442625
In response to suggestion number two; you might be able to see right down the middle of my image where my two lines connect. This is because I drew half, flipped the image, than did the other half.

I am more comfortable drawing down and to the left, it seems, so I try to do this as much as possible. How do you recommend connecting the two lines?

>>2442618
I am going to try paint tool sai as soon as possible. With Manga Studio, there is a brush called the "g-pen", which has more of a smoothing ability than the other default brushes. Is their an equivalent for paint tool sai?

almost a year and you still can't FEEL it? damn bro.

Is this what I'm not doing? Here's another example of what I'm aiming for. It's all those jointed round shapes that I'm trying to go for.
