I was in a comic shop the other day, and noticed that I drew better than half the artists on the shelf. The one that stuck out to me the most was an adventure time comic, as simple as that shit is the guy could not draw to save his fucking life.
Not sure if I should feel good about that, or disappointed that I didn't get a job doing comics.
Feel free to post any of your experiences with bullshit in art.

I think your problem is you're comparing fine arts to cartoons. Naturally one technically takes more skill to produce but without seeing the artists's full capabilities you can't accurately say you're better. You should also post your work anytime you make that kinda claim.

Its becoming more and more difficult to organise my reference phots and art, putting tham in folders doesn't do it anymore
Essentially I'm after an image viewer app with tagging features. I've tried the "Photo Gallery" App that comes with Windows has tags but importing from a flash drive is a pain
Do you have any photo software you recommend with tagging function or that helps you organize yourself better?

My mom told me that before 9/11 hospitals used to let artists in to draw babies in the glass incubators. She retire from nursing in 2006 and they hadn't loosened security restrictions. Can you get in these days or is it still locked up pretty tight?

I did that when I was a baby back in 1993, of course I was inside one of these, I don't know if you can do it on any other way.
So no, unless you shapeshift into a baby (if you know how to do that teach me because I wanna suck some tits)

Could any of you draw/paint a pic of a dragon eating a larva? The larva coming out of a jar of other larvae labeled olive juice.

I haven't drawn/painted for maybe 2 years now. I've been very busy and haven't had much motivation. I want to get back into it. I have one of the older intuos medium tablets but never got into digital art that much. Can anyone recommend a decent program to get started with digital art. Preferably nothing fancy I just want to start doing something. Also are there any new guides or reference resources I should know about?
Pic is about the best I can do right now. How long until I can at least get as good as I was before I stopped?

>Can anyone recommend a decent program to get started with digital art. Preferably
Art Rage if you're looking to emulate traditional media, Gimp if you're looking for free, photoshop if you don't have a budget.
>Also are there any new guides or reference resources I should know about?
That is a very broad question depends entirely what you're looking for. I would recommend looking at some basic introductory tutorials to whatever program you choose.
>How long until I can at least get as good as I was before I stopped?
How can you expect anyone to give a reasonable answer to that? That's up to you, your abilities, how quickly you learn, how much time you can dedicate to practice, and where you were vs/where you are now.
>>
>>2401042
I was more asking how long does it usually take people to reach their old skill level as opposed to starting from scratch. Sorry I know it's kind of a stupid question but it's a bit depressing when in your head you think you can draw something but then when you try it just doesn't come out like you expect.

>>2401039
By doing the same thing everyone should be doing. Fundamentals to get better, creating new imagery to explore style/ideas.

Been drawing/painting for a year.
Is this good at all? I don't think so myself but some perspective from others would be cool.
Also this is my first time browsing this board.

Its quite creative and asking for critique on that kind of stuff on this board is like paying a 5 year old to kick you in the nuts.

I like the way you painted, but not the object itself. It looks shapeless and meaningless to me.

If you're gonna post animation that isn't yours give source or state that it isn't yours.

Why do people look for diverse representation in comics and stories? I have never read anything and thought ''wow this author must fucking hate xxx because the writer never thought of a character with xxx trait!''

It's not about diversity, it's about cultural Maoism.
>>
>>2399324
it's sorta the opposite of what you said: people look for diversity because they think it's interesting to have change. It's not about "This author is racist because there's no blacks," it's more about "Wow this other author including several different races, all with unique traits. It just seems more random and human to have diversity.

Because they're retards.

How do I put in the effort to make art without technically being good at drawing and such? I'm making progress with drawing and studying books and things, but I'm too old to not have a body of work, whether it's shit or not. I like being able to look back at the work I've done and see that I have grown and am better at art than I was back then. However I'm so worked up over making shit art that I simply don't make anything at all. I want this to go, I want to be able to pick up a pencil and be brave enough to make crappy shit

You dont even need to draw to be an amazing artist of art.
You can use clay, photogtaphs, film, wood, collage i dont care as long as you are creative.
Dont look at the things you can't do, look at the things you can and dont be a sad sack of shit because you cant move a pencil as well as others.
>>
>>2399757
The key to getting over making bad art is to not think, just go and draw. You have to stop thinking honestly. I think everyone feels this way a lot of the time, but if you put more time into drawing and being ok with making stuff that won't be good at first, then you're on the right track to actually getting good.
If you get hung up on not wanting to make bad drawings that it cripples you from actually drawing, then I promise you you will never make any improvements.
Just draw, simple as that.
>>
>>2399757
This is literally why most people fail. You have to be willing to make shit for a sold 2-5 years.
All the time you spend complaining about it, wishing you were better, you could be drawing more shit.
>I'm too old to not have a body of work
No your not. You don't deserve to have a body of work... you haven't actually done the work.
