/ic/ how do i get this sort of gesture sketch style to when I draw in pencil? It's so attractive. Any tips to practice pressure and sketching in general?
git gud

Find some of those model posing videos or websites and draw with a fine ballpoint pen, it'll feel kind of like pencil but you'll gain confidence through lack of erasing.

my problem with that is that i don't have enough variation of pressure with my strokes. I draw strokes in one continuous line. My sketching is always sloppy and pressed way too hard.
I am currently employed full time (working 9-5 but wake up at 7am and get home bam6pm due to transportation). It's not a very strenuous job but by the time I get home every day I am utterly pooped. I have been trying to do my studies but if it's not the weekend I am so slowed down. I just got home not too long ago and I just want too crash... but I really need to keep practicing. I want to get 3 contour drawings done but I also want to sleep. Also gotta cook.
Are there ways you guys deal with burning out? How do you motivate yourself to get started when you really want to draw but feel too tired?
We can all share techniques and motivations here! :)
>>2367822
Honestly anon, the answer you are looking for is complicated and simple at the same time.
Let me tell you this though, motivation is nothing. It's a waste of time. You need discipline.
This isn't that hard if you have the right mindset. Why are you drawing? Really ask yourself that.
Be real with yourself and figure it out. If you want to improve asap you will have to sacrifice a lot.
This is just a small amount of it but you will have to find your own answer. Good luck.
Don't cook. Sleep less. Coffee
5hrs sleep a day hurts when you wake up, but a quick shower puts you back in action fast.
>>2367822 (OP)
Time management; knowing what you can do in a certain period of time. Like what the anon above said, motivation is unreliable, and discipline usually does the job when wanting to improve. Being motivated and disciplined though is the optimal state when you want to learn something.
Take your time. No need to rush.
Anyone know what this book is? I have a PDF of it, it appears to be a sculpting book, I was just wondering if it was ever printed in english, or anything like it.
Wrong bored

What board is correct? This is an art board after all, although /ic/ is more illustration/conceptart/animu.
Just wondering if anyone has seen this before, or know of any english books like this. I found it on /ic/ a while back anyway.
I'm looking for some modern great watercolor painters who specifically offer online education courses.
So far I've found James Gurney, Marco Bucci, and Nathan Fowkes (pictured)
All that I do is watercolor/white-gouache paintings outdoors. These three are god-tier.

So I hear "it's never too late" a bunch, but who are actually some artists that actually started late (mid-20s) and weren't just jobbers?
It isn't ever too late, either stop being an insecure bitch baby and get on with drawing and your life or quit if you think it's so impossible.
But sure I'll play your game, this is Anthony Holden who works at story development or something at Dreamworks last time I checked. He didn't start drawing in earnest until he was 26.

yo dude i have a question. there was this guy i found on concept art or some website that used to work for pixar, and he did these really trippy story boards in ink of cartoon eyeballs. do you know who im talking about?
>>2370050
Sean Galloway aka Cheeks. He never drew much before he was around 28. He went into military service and served on a Navy ship for 2 years. While he was out there he had a lot of time to himself and he started working really hard on his art. When he got done with his service he came back, and started posting his stuff online. He was noticed quickly by Sony Entertainment and did character designs for them for a while, and from there he was hired to draw the Teen Titans comic, and the rest as they say is history.

What? Why can't we post this here? I am not interested in a discussion about music, I am interested in what an artists listens to while they are making art.
i never been given critique of my work, people usually just look at it and try to understand it. As a person who draws and creates something new everyday, i would love some critique.

Duality of the title at least suggests some form of non illiteracy, best kept secret .. yet offered without remorse to an unholy and sacrilegious sect of inevitably daunted achievers.
WHo could even so much as evn so much.

Maybe lit. not sure though. please do check.

What do you think of metamodernism in art?
This gif is metamodern art, that was made as the cover of a mixtape with voice of Shia LaBeouf from his metamodern art.
This gif is also metamodern art and was released with the title 'If You Have A Kite, USE IT!'

I think that crowd are wankers tbqh, but I appreciate that the pretentiousness is part of the act. It is basically wry, self-important but self-effacing japery which I like on some level.
I just finished this page, just gesture drawings + some funny faces at the bottom, suggestions on things to work on? Luckily, I finished this just in time for my leg cramps to fucking kick back in. Time to kill myself, ttyl.

is suicide a suggestion?
I suggest you post in a thread like all the other people you snowflake
I mean, technically, I guess suicide is a suggestion. Probably won't take it though, haven't gotten laid yet.

How do you regain lost passion to draw?
>>2364604
Passion is a myth, just draw and you'll keep going for a few hours.
you dont, you just force yourself to draw.
it comes back eventually.
You draw.
I'm just getting myself out of a week or so's slump. I find the best thing get myself back on the saddle is drawing something I'm really proud of... Easier said than done, I know, but if you sit your ass down and draw enough things you'll pump one out eventually, even if you just stay in your comfort zone to do it.
I dunno how common it is, but in my experience I basically cycle every month or so. I hit a high point where I'm really confident, and I'm willing to experiment and do stuff and generally I'm pleased with what I do, so I'm motivated to draw. Then that tapers off, I'm reluctant to start on things because I know they'll be difficult, and I lose all my enthusiasm. But if you just slug through the lack of enthusiasm, you'll probably do a thing you really like and it'll give it another boost.
