does it help you? if so use it.

he's just drawing a cylinder

>>2247727
it's useful if you actually know the 3d form you're "tracing" out

>>2243487
I find it's less to do with natural skill and more the ability to enjoy practicing for hours. Volume and effort beats thinking about it hard a million fold.

>>2243490
I don't have an issue with putting in time and effort because I enjoy it but when I think about the future its a little disheartening

>>2243496
Making money and building a future with art as a career has much more to do with making things people enjoy seeing, marketing and business sense than it has to do with achieving the skill level that only a naturally gifted person could achieve.

There are lots of very mediocre webcomic- and fanartists who are far worse than the artist you posted, yet they make 10 times more money than he does.

Read the sticky

(yes it is for beginners to get rid of the symbol drawing. I would had so needed that a year ago.)

I read it and I think it's snake oil. But whatever floats your boat.
It's the opposite of construction.

OP:
I have drawn by Burne Hogarth books for several years and I'm taking a course that uses some exercises from this book. The course has been interesting but hasn't really given much for me.

So, I don't really need to read this then?

P.S. Tnx for reply.

I think my mom would rather have the tree

are you trying to get banned?

>>2241696
They taught me to paint the colors as you go rather than render in layers. It was very helpful when trying to go for realism.

That fucking dog has seen some shit

Why is that dog a freemason?

>>2243627
Maybe he's a religious dog and after seeing some shit, he decided to seek out an organization that would show him there's good in the world, maybe even let him redeem himself through charity, community service and weird rituals.

Fuck thats beautiful. Saved

art has never been a more available profession in history. It's not a fad. You don't know what a fad is.

yes its a fad

in 2 or 3 years there'll be no art

people will move onto something else

sports maybe

Sorry, better now?

OCAD and Sheridan are barely worth it if it's a full ride but don't expect something even close to on par with a high end school. Only good thing Sheridan has is open lifedrawing and the animation program. Illustration is a fucking joke and the fundies course is a cash grab.

>>2246336

So if the schools here are shit (not willing to move somewhere else for 4 years either)

Would you pick option 2 or 3?

>>2246334
>2.) I have the option of learning programming and getting a web development job for a few years

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DO THAT. THERE'S ZERO MONEY IN DIGITAL ART. DON'T LISTEN TO THE IDIOTS WHO ENCOURAGE YOU. HOBBY ONLY HOBBY ONLY HOBBY ONLY.

programming in particular is THE SINGLE BEST CAREER PATH available right now. don't be like me. don't throw your life away.

>>2246000
Good art.

>>2246021
/thread

>>2246024
But no for real digital. Cuz the superior zooming abilities, ctrl-z, layer modes, color adjustments, transform etc.

>>2249911
Nope, I'm in the same boat.

>>2249911
post your work mr dubs man

>>2249918
My instagram is /inkbyalex
Ignore the selfies
>Also not implying that i'm a good artist.

>>2249397

Programmer by day, filthy art hobbyist by night

QUESTION:

Would you be fucked by 5 niggers in prison to have Kim Jung Gi's skill?

Do I have a no AIDS guarantee?

>>2249269
You won't have AIDS, but your asshole will be a little bit stretched out.

How short a time was it?

Two years

because happiness and health are more important

Does anyone have any of those improvement schedules/timetables? I saw them posted a while back but didn't save any, would be interested to read them again.

>>2247575
A good night sleep so you can work efficiently, or learn much more effectively, is much better than skipping sleep and working for much longer. Only a few people can handle such schedules and I'm not one of them.

>>2249687
only keep those tools open you're actually using

>>2249687

That depends entirely on you and your workflow. Not everybody paints or draws the same.

Do you even have a workflow? Are there a set of steps you use to create a drawing? If so, let that be your jumpoff point. If not, maybe get a workflow before you look to start optimizing your workflow.

>>2249691
Like I said I'm a Sai guy, so I'm used to much more simple tools. I'm wanting to use PS for more paint studies and working with values. Sai has methods for that sure, but PS seems to be a better too from what I can see.

I'm thinking it's just a case of what >>2249689 said and just use what's necessary, but I'm not entirely sure what is and what isn't.
