this

Tried not to make this look like a shitty blog but it kinda does at the end.
So please just keep the "how to do with procrastination when it went so bad you almost cant draw for days" over everything else.

Nothing will change by itself. You can't just wait to be happy, you won't be.

Sounds like you don't have a lot of self discipline.
Go outside once in a while. There's no magic trick, stop thinking of it as a "curse" that you can't control.

>>2299373
You can sit there trying to justify your mistakes and blame everything on "m-muh sadness and derpeshun :((((" but you only have yourself to blame. No outside matter is going to change your situation.

i like his stuff

>>2299283
It has charm when someone else cleans up his vision, but it's now a blight that infected all of Blizzard's IPs. Lost all hope when the hd update to wow didn't fix the major flaws in design and even exacerbated some issues.

Incredible ability to tap into what kids want in a game. The more experienced I get the more I appreciate him. Not in an artistic way, but in a marketing sort of way.

You're not either not practicing right, or not practicing hard enough. Don't mindlessly copy, try to apply lessons to personal work, read the sticky.

>>2299236
If you keep doing the same mistakes over and over again you'll keep doing the same mistakes over and over again.

>>2299237
I've done plenty of tutorials, read plenty of art, looked at loomis.

Nothing works.

>>2299238
And, how come I can't learn from these mistakes. I've tried and tried and i'm constantly told that I never improve and that art isn't for me. What am I supposed to do with this?

>>2299171

LOL no. your work only has as much value as you manage to inflate it into by self promoting and become an e-celebrity.

>>2299171
Create a fake persona that almost anybody can like.

>>2299171
Simply operate under a pseudonym. It's been working for me so far. Just be careful not to have any connections to your rl information whatsoever. Don't put your real name on invoices and be careful not to give out TOO specific information and bam. I draw porn, so I don't want this coming back to me at all. I'm so paranoid, people aren't sure if im male or female-- which suits me just fine.

>>2299103
You're not supposed to symbol draw.

>>2299018
I am triggered by that shoulder
he has impressive turd-polishing skills though, can't deny that

>>2299022
nah it looks good

Basically, if you keep doing the same thing, you become good at one single thing. No more.

I'd call him "100 sameface portraits painter of the generation" easily.

>>2298888

To clarify I meant drawing from imagination, not real life where drawing what you see is enough so long as you can get in the flow.

>>2298890

Also I know about perspective already and that figures should face the vanishing points/eye level etc.

>>2298888

>It it really the case that you first memorize anatomy and then based on that knowledge try to imagine how it would look like in perspective and keep drawing and fixing until you will gradually learn to draw it right?

I'm not really in a position to comment considering I've only just started with figure drawing, but it seems like thats the case. You figure out box/spherical/cylindrical forms and how they look at any angle and pair that with an understanding of proportion and anatomy and continuously draw figures from reference and imagination until it clicks. There will be a point if you keep at at long enough that you can draw pretty convincing figures with no construction lines from imagination and that just comes down to knowing what these forms look like from any angle and "feelin it" based on your knowledge of what it looks like when its properly constructed through simplified forms. I'm sure it involves a shit load of self criticism and feedback from other artists so you are consistently correcting mistakes

Expressing the suffering in the pointlessness maybe even giving the tools needed to rise above the suffering of the mundane.

Art isn't about getting good, is that why you play games?

>>2298453
because other artists are thinking the same thing

>>2298453
Whats the point of learning anything then? Pretty dumb thread.

boring
maybe a good still panel in a comic

Well done.

>>2298313
face looks bad imo as well, too uncanny and theres some sort of angle or perspective error that im not gonna spend time figuring out

>>2298301

good? no.

good enough? probably.

Study some pixel art tutorials as well as anatomy. A dedicated pixel art forum like pixeljoint would be best for you.

>>2298301
depends on how it's animated

if you animated dog shit well you could have a decent fg character

>>2298383
Right now I quit on the idea of even animating this, is too much effort.

Right now I just want to download spriter and see what I can do.

I'm not even a pro artist and I'm hoping some coder will help me.

>>2298238
It really depends what style you like and what qualities in art you value. Personally I like people such as Van Dyck, Velazquez, Kramskoi, Serov, Repin, Franz Hals, Boldini, Rembrandt, and Freud. Do some research and see what artists you like and what time period they are from--usually there are other artists from the same school or country that have similar styles.

>>2298238
van gogh. he was the greatest portraitist who ever lived :( he's also the hardest to study.

>>2298260

I like asian school ruanjia, weifeng, hgj
