I practiced drawing so hard for so long that I can't do it anymore without it paining my head with psychological bullshit. I can't even go to /ic/ anymore without my head hurting. What you suggest I do. I want to come here and talk with you fellow artbros.

>>2325935
I feel yah. I told my friends that I couldn't hang out the other day because I had to study. One of them looked at me and was like "Don't even talk to me about studying ,I know all you do is draw all day" he acts like drawing is some kind of hobbyist pass time for me that I only do for fun. No one understands how serious I am about art. They're all going to college for engineering and shit, while I'm doing art, so I often get looked down on, like I'm pursuing a lesser goal than they are. It's fucking annoying too because I get this "Pshhh, art is easy. I could do art if I wasn't so busy with my college classes." vibe from all of them. Like they think it would be easier than what they're doing in college. They have 0 respect for what I do.

Post your art op? I'm interested what you've achieved. Like a progress pic?

every artist is extremely lazy and a procrastinator or very focused on what he does
wich kind of are you?
I am lazy
then I feel motivated to draw something
then I realize it's shit and I suck at this
then I give up for a little time
then I feel like drawing again but I'm too lazy to do so
I start one thing then start on another halfway through the other leaving me with tons of unfinished work that I have no desire to complete. I'm a mess.
I used to work hard for years, but due to being a perfectionist, I was never happy with anything. In time, I became a procrastinator, because I associate drawing with failure.
Don't know if this is the right place to ask but what art style is this?
>MUH STYLE
>>2332761
look like the same style drawing from many old ink drawings in history that are becoming popular again in advertisement(graphic design).
>>2332761
In the tattoo world it's just called black work falling in line with neo traditional. In the art world it would probably be just considered as ink illustration.
Holy shit anons I figured out why we're all still single

should i go to collage for animation and 3d modeling or learn it on my own?
>>2335497
go to youtube before you waste your money. If you're even asking that question; Don't.
>>2335497
Depends, some people can be self taught. Other people learn better from an instructor.
Can you teach your self? Try it out if don't know, it only will cost some time. If you are getting nowhere try the other route before you commit to a full course. You can hire an instructor or attend a class or two to see if you like it and progress better.
>>2335497
depends on how motivated you are, considering you made this post, you probably aren't motivated enough. To get really good on your own you'd have to be someone who goes after it no matter what
Hey, /ic/. Do what you do best and tear this apart.

How do i get used to this?
I been trying for months to get in but i feel very uncomfortable when using it and lose my patience real fast.
Any advice?
>>2329765
It feels weird at first but just keep using it and get used to the program your using to make art, keep practicing!
If you're that picky with your equipment, you should have gotten those Cintiq LCD drawing tablets in the first place. Or should have stayed loyal to cheap pen and printer paper.
>>2329765
use a software with actual fast rotation like paint tool sai , painter
or PS with open 3d
this is for actual lineart brushing is more approachable
>>anyone know how to color like this?
>>do you have a pdf file for this ?
pretty sure there's wips and steps on his facebook

>>What are art studies
Its funny how so many people think coloring is only a matter of getting that magic paint by the numbers formula.
