Well think of it like this

>don't have a clue about anything or bother trying to learn from sources of knowledge
>okay now I've got to build a wheel
>spend 10 years discovering how to build a wheel
>okay now I've invented the wheel time to move onto the car door
>spend 20 years inventing the car door
>okay great now I've got to-

The sole purpose of writing things down is so that other people can read them and learn from them so they don't have to spend all the time you spent learning it

By painting from life. By getting it wrong over and over over hundreds/thousands of times to train your eye to see color correctly. Just like any artists learning to paint traditionally would do?

You'll never make it.

Practice and experimentation.

Try eyeballing the color and then using the eyedropped tool to check your work. The try eyeballing it again from scratch, knowing what the eyedropper color picked.
It also helps to isolate the color, so you can see the actual shade rather than what it looks like relative to the surrounding colors.

minus the breaks: 4-10 hrs

Even polishing turds can be a good practice (for polishing.)

Usually 12 hours. I rarely fully render out imaginative work so i'm basing this more so on studies. I think it could take me 20 hours on an imaginative piece because of the lapse in skill required for me.

Eh..it can take me almost a month. If in really into it can take up to 10 hours or so? But that's just for sketching, painting is what ends up taking years to finish.

I work in the slaughter side of an industrial beef plant. Most people there have sore hands. Mine are sore all the time except on long breaks. I also have trigger finger at night and in the morning. It's terrifying, tons of people there get carpal tunnel. Scrap one cow head fine. Scrap 1000+ cow heads for 8 hours and it hurts to masturbate.
My advice: Take breaks and put your hand in the warm knife purifier.

the more the better trbh

The handful of classically/atelier trained digital artists I'm aware of have been quite good (Daarken is the first one that comes to mind). I think there's something to it and I'm following suit and have just begun attending an Atelier myself.

>>2419437
Being able to draw and paint well in hand would give you tools that set you apart from the average digital artist from what I see but there are other factors like creativity, connections and being good at selling yourself when it comes to landing a job in that profession.

It really depends on what your ambitions are. Since you are asking here perhaps you need to do some reflections on what you are actually burning for as you can't make it far in that industry without the passion. Being in school is no excuse for not already being ahead of the class and working in your spare time on the very things you are studying for and checking visiting the industry and that would let you know already now what skills you need.

And post them as raw 3.5 mb scans rotated clockwise

The almost constant stream of "I can't dredge up motivation to draw" posts/threads.

If you can't stir up your own structure/motivation then take a class. Honestly if you can't be a self-starter and you can't put together the money to pay someone to give you structure and tell you what to do, professional level art probably isn't for you. There's no magical solution out there. There are resources to give you free learning materials/inspiration/goals, but in the end, it's up to you to use them.

People just flatout ignoring good advise.
Seeing them stagante throught the time is really annoying.

>>2415472
Check out other artists pages, see what they charge for different things, compare yourself to them and think for yourself about how much time you are willing to spend vs the product you create

first couple hundred should be free for exposure, that's how I got started on erotic short stories on kindle store

This advice is so bad it makes my head hurt. Anyone dumb enough to take it deserves to be abused and taken advantage of.

I feel like there will be a point where I've grasped the fundamentals enough to gain competence soon, source: other people did

Famous Artist Course has a good chapter on clothing/drapery

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3WmrWUEIJo

Videos aren't specific to drapery, but rendering. IMO it's a bad habit to try and think "this is how I render drapery" and "this is how I render cars". Light obviously behaves differently with different materials which you should learn but the basics of direct light, highlight, shadow core, cast shadow, and reflected light go a VERY long way and are fundamental to rendering of all objects, regardless of shape or material. Complex forms like drapery is just like the long division of rendering. It takes longer but you're still applying the same fundamental concepts of lighting.

I too wouldn't mind seeing if anyone has anymore good resources on this topic
