Yes but having an expert to tell you what you're doing wrong speeds up the process a huge amount

Do you necessarily need to take classes to be successful? No. But classes are another learning tool available to you if you want it.

Classes are for if you want more personal guidance, if you need structure and have difficultly doing that on your own, access to resources you may not have or have difficulty obtaining otherwise (nude figure drawing, printers, printing press, kilns, woodshops, studio space, etc. depending on what the class offers), and in-person feedback. When I took a few art courses in college, I really enjoyed the creative atmosphere of working along side other artists. Working in isolation now, I miss it.

Ha.

You will never make it.

There's no alt-opacity in CS4. Why even live.

You're a mentally disabled person if you can't paint better than this even though you're trying.

you can't beat sparkfags

theyre not, mine has it all week long

I just started high school last fall but there was already a kid kicked out for nude art.

Because there are very few people that take it seriously. Mostly you will see horny males with raging boners, the casual wet girl, and the not so rare, stealth fap guy.

This

How would I set up perspective in a still life? I find that when I'm drawing cups and bowls and whatnot the ellipses become difficult to draw because I have no clue how wide to make them.

I get easily discouraged when I compare myself to artist even slightly better than me. What should I do?

When I am drawing from life, it can take me up to two/three hours to fill a page with what's in front of me (mild detail). Is this too long? Does anyone else here like to fill pages with urban sketching? How long do you spend on a whole page sketch of your view?

I actually have a few of those pens. Some of them ran out rather quickly, though.

I used them a lot, but now I'm using mechanical pencils and wooden pencils.

I really like this one. Very simple, nothing fancy. and you can get 12 of them for like 16$ at amazon. Lasts at least a few months.

Sakura brush pen is cheap and good

I use Camstudio. It's free, quick and easy install, instantly compresses and converts the recording to one of a bunch of file types you choose from, and I had no trouble running it while using photoshop and I'm on a really basic ass laptop that has an offbrand graphics card. Ironically the laptop can't handle any video editing software.

Not mac compatible anon :(

I use OBS. No idea how lightweight it is really, but I've never had problems with it. I use it to stream too.

Do what you want. Do what interests you. If you want 'muh popularity' fan art bullshit then shut up and do it. If you want to make your own stuff then do that. Shut up and draw.

>>2430752
muh requests only attracts people who arent willing to pay. its useless and youre working for free for total fags.

There's no obligations to do requests. As far as popularity goes I'd say doing fanart is more productive for getting noticed than doing requests.

Usually when I do requests I go to the /tg/ drawthread and look for ideas I like. The requests aren't directed at me and there's no pressure to do them, you just do what seems fun.

Unless I'm actually friends with the person asking I wouldn't feel at all bad not filling a request I don't like. Nigga can pay me if he wants me to draw it that much.

I too pulled some handwriting off google. Please discuss it OP.

The reason I didn't post my own off the bat was because it's pretty shit and I feared it'd just derail the thread right away. I see now that picking a silly one off google invites shitposters all the same.

We had a good thread on this subject a few weeks ago.

Anything more specific? Am I just seeing a style that isn't really there?

woodcut
they need to print that shit so they embed them on blocks etc

Study more anatomy anon. Go back to the basics really. Her head is way too small. Honestly the body isn't -horrible- so study faces and heads. Every single facial feature on her isn't where it should be.
