>Human brain can focus 100% on anything for 2, maybe 3 hours max

Medicine students studying for 6 hours straight in a day isn't unheard of, actually, but they get there through a harsh discipline.

There's learning a new concept (you need to understand it), and there's internalizing it through exercises and tests (you gain the ability to apply it and remember it). Then there's mindless grinding, but cramming is proven as being counterproductive for long term goals: basically you could learn hundred of bones and muscles in a short period of time and you'll have them forgotten in less than it took you to learn them all.

Could you show us his exact quote? He's a teacher, I'm giving him credits on knowing about this stuff (at least way more than I), there must be more meaning here than just studying all the time.

How old are you anon?

Have you only been drawing for 2 years? Because that feeling never goes away.

He's got a point. You will always see the flaws and want to improve. Always. The question is have you simply not improved over the two years? At all?

i have a butcher tray that i put gouache on to use like watercolor pans after it dries onto it from whatever i was using the paint for originally for practicing washes and stuff to conserve and make use of all the paint left over ( when you use it fresh out of the tube i know its better ) and i always keep my koi watercolor box paint dry so that i can limit the moisture by using water brushes and it makes dry brushing easier. so maybe thats what she means . she can control the consistency of the paint from watery to nearly completely dry.

People usually do that when they want to paint outdoors/while travelling to not make a mess.
I find it makes it hard to get a good range of values like that though, painting from dry paint tends to look dulled out.

Yeah that's how a lot of the pros do it. it makes your paint last longer, but it makes it easy to adulterate some colors, esp. yellow

post their work

thank you!

today on: "objectively wrong"

No that just makes you very unimaginative.

>>3062876

Youre not genuine if you cant come up with your own idea or style, copying things from the internet and rl is not very artistic.
Also
> implying you are one if you are unimaginative

>>3062776
You can be happy whether you're a good or bad artist.

>>3062776
fuck yea. i love looking at my finished paintings. it's pure joy. it took 12 years to get there....

it's worth it anon.

>>3062701
Well, drawing is always a good thing. But how good you want it to be depends on you.
Studying a work does not necessarily mean that you are copying it. Try to figure out how the artist was thinking when they made the piece and walk in their footsteps. Or if it's a certain style you are after, try to figure out what that style is based in and how to emulate (not copy) it properly.
Or just plain copy it. Although that sounds boring as fuck.

It's up to you what you want to do with it. Try to imagine what would give you the most gains and go with that.

Yeah, this.
>>3062701
It's good to be constantly humbled and influenced by what other people are doing. You should see paintings and work that makes you think, 'That. That's everything I want to be like'. You don't exist in a vacuum with no cultural history. Personally, I love that people are so much more skilled, wise, and elegant than me at art because it gives me something divine to aspire to (and ideas as well).

First learn English

Its got a real MTV or Mike Judge sort of feel. If you were not going for that edgy style, well you could be a mess. that being said, I dig it. It's a little lowbrow but fuck do I enjoy it. Nice work and keep going.

You don't need an entire thread for yourself. Please check the catalog next time to find a thread this would be better suited to, like the pixel art thread.

exercising your back doesn't hurt but also making sure you have proper drawing setups so that you are not straining your back unnecessarily will go a lot further in preventing back pain. here are some recommendations:

>proper drawing table
get yourself a proper drawing table. a table with an adjustable angle is best, that way you can find that sweet spot of "great angle for drawing + won't strain your back"

>get a goddamn chair
i know we are all poor and it's hard to justify spending money on a nice chair when any surface will do to sit on. but this is your back and your ability to draw for long periods of time that we are talking about here. invest in your back, invest in your work.
alternatively:
buy a large yoga/exercise ball and use it as a chair. they are cheap, and a 70 mm one works as a good height for sitting. it forces you to maintain a good posture and at the same time it does little mini exercises for your back and stomach, the entire time you are sitting on it. this is what I use.

>if you are working detail, get a magnifying glass
without knowing what kind of scale you are working on, this recommendation may not be necessary. but if you are working on a small scale or if your surface is far away from your face, get a magnifying glass with an adjustable arm so that you don't have to bend your back.

Alright, i'm gonna put in practice some of your advices. Thank you.
