Why exactly are artists paid so poorly? Is it because the field is completely over saturated? Or is it because there isn't enough demand for people with drawing skills?
Option C: Most artists undervalue themselves.
Over saturation, under selling artists, and cultural shifts which put the arts on the backburner.

aside from entertainment value that only people with money can afford, the rest of the world tries to survive it's daily life without the aid of something so useless.
Does anyone have any other cheaper options that let you actually draw on the ravlet screen?
*Tablet.
I apoligize for that.
>>2305815
Try Huion, they have the same but in lower prices.
>>2305826
There are many different types of Huion tablets. I need a more specific model name than that. My budget is $450.00
Tell me what is wrong. Give me some advice.

Review the mona Lisa /ic
In terms of popularity and impact, greatest painting ever made. How much do I personally like it? It's pretty good.
Better than 98% of /ic/

What sort of routines do you generally stick to?
-Spend 2 hours looking for ref. Fap to nudes.
-Drawing for 20 minutes, get frustrated. Fap to stick figure.
-Break for lunch.
-Look up tutorials for another hour.
-Resolve to just pick something and draw.
-Fap because you're going to die alone.
-Get into the mode. It's dawn. This looks great. Finally broke through. Pick this up again tomorrow.
-Bed time. Fap thinking about ex from years ago who got someone new within days of the breaking up while you've never had so much as a right-swip on Tinder.
-Wake up. Excited to get back to that drawing. Look at drawing. Clearly the work of an epileptic pool noodle.
-Use tears for lubricant for fap.
-Rinse repeat.
>>2305377
- Drawing for 5h/day
- 1rst hour trying to draw from imagination what I've learned the day before.
- next 4h: Anatomy with a lot of repetitions and exercises to know what is fixed on the mind.
I use one app with a Pomodoro timer without the long break, only with small 5 minutes breaks every 25 minutes. It works to me. My focus is OK.
All my notifications are off, no text messages, no phone calls, no music, no computer, to try to focus better.

I wanna see a drawing next to a painting now to see if there actually was that much a difference
>>>/mu/60787634
For example, let's try to define the difference between "tracing" "lip syncing" "covers" and "studies"
or just post artistic album covers

I just made my first Charcoal drawing
Shit was easy as hell to use but it's messy as FUCK
>>2304623
you nailed it OP don't let the haters get to you. youre so good you dont even need to read the sticky or post in the beginners thread, youre already top .000001% artists in the world on your first try. do you have a blog?
Learn debth man
Loomis man
DUDE

that's like saying a jet fighter is "easy as hell to fly" after you've crashed it and killed a hundred civilians
Low Poly Art thread
this is cool
what about this
i like this one
How do I develop my own style from a variety of influences without blatantly copying?
>>2304596
If you take from multiple influences then you will automatically have your own style. It's only blatant copying when you take from only a single source.
style just happens on its own
>>2304789
not for me apparently, i keep getting halfway through a piece then getting annoyed at the fact it's an obvious rip off of whatever artist i'm really into at the time
Well hiya fellas, I'm new around here and was wondering if I could get a critique from y'all
This is my most recent painting, in acrylic, I practice stream of consciousness or automatic painting
Put more of your consciousness into it by putting your head up to it and blowing your brains out.
>>2304538
That would sell
Hello new friend!
Don't listen to this faggot>>2304538
Unfortunately /ic/ is a naked model and space marine critique board. It's against The Code Of Loomis to make any critiques based on modern art.

But don't be discouraged! we have a sticky http://hubpages.com/art/how-to-draw-learn
When you can "feel" the drawings you know you've made Vilpu proud!
tfw I've been learning for 4 years, still haven't had a single illustration job. Why is it so hard, should I give up and get some boring normal job?
You've posted zero indication of your skill level so nobody can answer your fucking question with an informed opinion.
>>2304523
I don't want to reveal myself as a sadboy crying about existential thoughts, I almost always have a couple of pieces of work posted by some kind anon in the 'images saved from ic' type threads. So take it at that, assume that I'm not a beginner.
>>2304556
just post something that has no strings attached to you. Just sketch something new, never post it anywhere except here.
Just tell me how to paint and draw like Dave Rapoza. God dammit just tell me all the steps and i'll do it.
Alright.

>>2304424
Do a shit ton of studies and creative work. Repeat for years. There's no magic shortcut.
I remember him before he was famous, he was known as Mr Delicious and hammered out page after page of Bridgman and Loomis and stuff in his CA sketchbook. The guy always has had insane work ethic.
