Sounds like any other Job, OP. Might as well make yourself likeable and make your own product to sell.

>>2354315

I can go learn coding in 2 years and get a $40k job out the gate in under 10 interviews. And in 3-4 years after that I'd be earning $60-80k.

Art is just really crap over here.

Done
... i think

I'm thinking the ouroboros encircling the Alpha and Omega, with those incorporated into the snake, and having Lucifer's Sigil underneath it all, with the script, " For God so loved the world".

I Apologize for the flipped image.

the problem with art schools is that they never teach pespective until late on.

You should study perspective/anatomy for construction drawing and draw from life/references at the time.

Practice drawing few hundred individual features and simple poses. (some feet, hands, heads, eyes...) focus on doing consistent/ symmetrical
drawings.
You can go just fine without knowing color theory/compsition at this time.

>>2356700
Draw with loomis or Hampton?

>>2349735

>tfw almost 200k worth of markers burned in a fire
don't have an actual picture of the markers, yeah it was covered by the insurance but seeing them all melted and disfigured made me feel really sad.

>>2351682
what the fuck, why did I write 200k, meant $200

Yes.

Pencil and paper will not hurt since its more precise and versatile.
If you want to get serious at art see out sticky, I rec you to start with Bert Dodson's Keys to drawing.

phone is probably too small and will give you bad habits. A real tablet might be too much of an investment this early on, so yea basically any writing utensil and paper to get started. All your skills will transfer to digital later if you stick with it. What you use doesn't matter when starting so don't get hung up on materials.

the alien itself is an ok model. I can't say much about that since I'm not a 3d artist myself. what I can say is that from the standpoint of an artist in general, the grass and wall are very lazily done. There's no depth in this, no visual intrigue and the textures themselves lack very little connection. another issue is the light source does not read well. I don't know if we are looking at an alien who was just run down and cornered, because the lighting almost makes it look like its night and people are using flashlights. that being said, its neither dark or light enough to read that way since the flashlights would make it a brighter yellow and the night would make everything else around the scene much darker. This is all in the process since you are learning about these things.

If I invested 50+ years of my life and my work looked like that, I would have killed myself 45 years ago. tell your uncle hes good like the nice normie you are, and don't tell him any different. Its clear hes only doing this to waste time and money on the way to his grave

My advice? don't stick to a consistent coloring style. experiment, and pick the coloring based on the mood of the picture.

>>2356984
do life study on light

>>2358258
and a reason to my barebone critic, you have a heavy case of pillow shading

>>2344868
Depends on what your are planning to draw, obviously.
Abstract space-related stuff will likely take blue/purple, women in red dresses will take lot's of red, etc, etc.

>>2344894

For me it would be a starter pack, so the best primary choices of red/blue/yellow to get started and maybe some secondary etc

If you are wanting to do portraits or life painting, Id go for Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber and Yellow Ochre, vermillion, prussian blue,
opaque white, paynes gray, cadmium yellow and a purple, I use purple lake but I think thats a W&N exclusive.

> I remember reading that Dave Rapoza is rich as fuck. Kind of don't buy it. Whit Brachna owns 2 houses? Kind of don't buy it either. On the outside everyone is super happy and successful and doing amazing,

Why would they lie about how much they make just to encourage thousands of aspiring artists to compete for their jobs if they have trouble making a decent living? Are you stupid or something? If things go bad for you, you try to discourage other people from becoming potential competition.

> but once you talk to these artists 1on1 they give off the vibe that they really are NOT doing too well

How many of these artists have you talked to 1 on 1? My guess is, the "vibe" you are getting is just them being annoyed with your stupid as fuck question. "How much money do you make???" is basically on the same level as "what brushes are you using??!!?".

Since no replies, is this "beginner's thread" material or "drawing thread" material?

>>2351964
Depends what your trying to acheive.

That's pretty cool, I like it.

>what did i miss?

Nothing.
