Started drawing a few months ago and I'm having trouble staying motivated. I've not drawn anything in days and just don't feel any incentive try. What are some ways you get motivated /ic?
>>2302342
I just wait out those periods. Eventually you will start to draw again, but forcing it just leads to frustration.
>>2302342
Just draw. If you "dont have motivation" you don't want it enough. Just draw. No one will dangle a fucking carrot in front of your face. You're going to look at the worthless piece of shit you are right now, and then you're going to think about how much you hate yourself, and how much you dont want to be yourself anymore, and your wanting to get away from your worthless self is your motivation. Stop making shitty threads.
>>2302342
Why have you started drawing in the first place? That should be your primary source of motivation.
Is this worth it?
It's dirt cheap, so yeah. The biggest problem is it's not structured very well though. It's hard to tell really what you should watch in what order.

Not OP but I'm planning on subscribing to one of these online schools over winter break.
Is it worth it over the $144/year deal from Schoolism? and
What (in your opinion) are the top online schools to learn the fundamentals of drawing and painting?
This is the list of the ones I've found so far:
Schoolism
Stan Winston (This one is more for sculpture and movie fx)
Foundations Group on Patreon
Gnomon (Zbrush)
UArtsy
Proko
Gumroad (probably expensive buying from many different people)
Watts Online
New Masters Academy
Thanks in advance.
What do you guys think about Artgerm? I like him very much.

Guys... I really want to learn how to start cartoony BLENDING but I just fuck it up.
Guys like koki do it really well.
90% of this look is in the drawing and not the blending.
Post some of your attempts and maybe I can help steer you in the right direction.
Hey OP,
What you're looking for here is 1. the style of the drawing itself (the cartoony exaggeration and the flow of the forms, etc) and the smooth color choices used here. The blending isn't what makes that style, it's mostly the way they chose the colors and also the way they didn't really define a really hard single light source (not that it's a bad thing, I think it looks good too)
A lot of it is actually the tool. Specifically, paint tool sai.
That's not to say you can't do it in other programs with enough effort, but it's a lot easier to replicate in the original program.
Hey there anons, post last thing you drew. it does not matter whether it is a sketch, painting or you are just boredly doing mess in MS paint. Do not cheat and not execuse, have a nice week
>>2299258
Well, this isn't the last thing I drew fresh, but is the last thing I was working on. Am still currently working on it.

do u have a blog
Over the last 2 or so months I've been making this comic. When I started this I had absolutely no direction and almost no experience with storyboarding; I just spewed some shit out in my sketchbook when I was feeling terrible. Ever since then I've occasionally been making some more strips and I feel like I've improved drastically and I'd like some feedback and to see some other people's work.
1/8, hopefully more to come
Haven't seen one of these in a while. Post the people that influence and inspire you the most! Following the rules in the picture is not necessary.
STOP TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO MAKING THIS TUMBLR COLLAGE SHIT WHEN I NEED TO BE DRAWING GAH THIS FUCKING WEBSITE

>>2295401

What does /ic/ think of him and why is he one of the most important artists of the 20th century?

I wanna commission an artist to draw up a bunch of headers for my stream page, in a cartoony style.
Something like pic related, maybe higher quality if possible? I would give $50 for it. Would I have takers?
There's no actual artists on this board anon. Don't bother. I've been trying to get hentai commishes here with no luck
>>2303399
I take commissions, and I'll tell you that reddit tumblr or pretty much anywhere else is a better place than here for commissions.
Also, $50 is only going to be enough for maybe 2.
maybe more if you higher a teenager or so.eone of equal skill to a teen
>>2303480
That's because you won't tell anyone what the fuck you want.
Dumping my works for critiques. DA doesnt help me and i made these in my phone. All of these are my works transitioning from just copying stuff to drawing from my imagination. (before, i cant draw if i dont have anything to copy from) thanks in advance!

>have friend that showed interest in drawing sine he saw me drawing a lot
>shows me his sketchbook
>its full of graffitti and nothing but graffiti
>he asks me what do I think
>I respond with "Anyone can draw words"
>he goes silent
>hasn't drawn since
I can't help but feel like im responsible for this
>anyone can draw words
I'm not fond of graffiti but this is still a retarded perspective. It's like looking at art and going "anyone can draw lines"
It's turning words into something visually appealing. Not everyone can draw good looking words. Graffiti / calligraphy has an element of design, regardless of whether that design is appealing to you.
>>2303285
you are an asshole
>>2303285
Complete dick move on your part. But at the end of the day it is him who decided to quit.
Hey /ic/ please help me understand my client, pic related is the kind of work i'm doing for roughly 13 dollars.
he's been requesting changes since last week, but now he asked me to change the expression and the background of this piece, do i sound like a little bitch or is this really bullshit?
theres another 18 pieces to go.
Lol why are you painting over a photo? Don't accept work if you don't have the skill. You're a faggot.
>>2303193
because he is only willing to pay 13 dollars for a piece.
also ur mum
>>2303196
Why are you doing work for 13 dollars.
Post your art references here.
excuse the animu
Is this a good background, /ic/? I really want to know, because I don't think it's anything special if you look at the painting techniques and take away the bloom effects
It's a great background. The painting techniques are solid and the effects they used are well executed.
This is assuming it needed to be pumped out fairly quickly.
yes, it's good. you're paying too much attention to technique, which is sort of a rookie mistake tbqh. it's good because it's drawn well and composed well and has a consistent lighting and to some degree even tells a story. sure, it's deceptively simple and you could pick out any individual element and say "well I could do that," but it's the gestalt of it that makes it good.
it's ok.
i don't really like the edges
