ENOUGH WITH THE RETARDED THREADS

FOCUS ON DRAWING INSTEAD OF QUESTIONS

How long it takes is a case by case basis, but I guarantee that if you focus on only one thing for however long it takes to master, you'll end up hating all of the time you spend drawing.

You should mix up practicing technical skills like you mentioned with drawing things that you actually like to draw (probably animu shit),
while trying to apply your newer technical skills to the animu drawings that are actually fun to do.

If you like drawing, don't turn it into a total chore.

commit certain things to memory, that's all, what really matters is the repitition of drawing things over and over again.

You have to believe in your work to come this far, but you also need the ability to self-reflect properly, something narcissists lack.

I would rather speak of taking pride in the craft itself. Great artist may come off as arrogant since their standards are set incredibly high, especially for themselves.

As far as successfulness goes: Be as bold as possible. Even if you don't believe in your work, sell it as the hottest shit.

Do you have to be like that?

read loomis, he explains it how it works.

It's related to perspective and the angle of the plane versus the direction of the light.

is pretty mechanical but most artists don't give a fuck (they're amateurs).

just read loomis.

there's also three gnomon workshop dvd on this topic.

Shadow is the absence of light. In it's true form, it is completely dark and any object within it cannot be seen (because there's no light to bounce off the object).
"But anon, why can I still actually see objects within shadow in reality?"
Because literally everything causes light rays to bounce and scatter everywhere. When light hits an object, the object's light plane acts as another light source, projecting its color properties within the environment. This light hits another object and another and so on until the photons of light scatter further from each other (light falloff). The sky is also a light source that fills in the upward facing planes in shadows with a nice blue tint. Any light that isn't the primary source is -never- as bright. The lightest part of a shadow should never be lighter than the darkest part of the light planes. Now there's a lot of grey area here, but a good rule of thumb for beginners is: lights cannot occupy the same space. Now, obviously they can and you can easily replicate it in reality... But that rule of thumb will always work no matter what. So for outside, sunlight for the light plane...skylight for top planes in shadow...and a color from the ground for the bottom shadow planes. Rimlight only appears in the shadows.

An object closest to the lightsource will project a larger shadow. Cast shadows are sharper the closer they are to their origin, otherwise they get softer the further away they are. Form shadows are soooooft shadows that run along the form.

You would know this if you picked up Scotts book.

just scrap it. all you did was trace it, the little coloring you did has awful brushwork. plus you picked a facial expression that if you dont capture it perfectly, it'll come out all sorts of fucked up.

just scrap it, its zero effort trash that you got bored of

>>3049898
I'll merit you for posting something that's better than what i expect a thread like this to be dedicated to.

That's the point. Instead of spending hours of sketching, trying to get a perfect line art. I traced so i can have more time on coloring cuz i really need to work on my coloring

my other trace coloring art work related.

I'm pretty sure the scientists were on the right, the lewd women on the left, and it was indoors

Gonna need a little more than that, allegory was an incredibly popular subject during those eras.

That's pretty much all I can remember unfortunately... On one side guys reading manuscripts, tinkering with instruments, thinking deeply, very nobel. On the other side dumb laughing, wine, nude women.

Wish I could remember more

How did you get blizzard to not sue you?

have you even googled, anon? https://acomics.ru/~vrthg/7

>>3048879
your google-fu is on an unimaginable level

By avoiding shit that is lower hanging fruit for enjoyment.

Why would anyone draw when they can be spoon fed satisfaction with tv, mmorpgs etc.

Limit or cut out the unproductive shit you are addicted to and you'll find it a lot more enjoyable

You do it for her. She's waiting for you, go draw her.

Have stuffs you wants to draw.

Seriously, I have hundreds to not say thousands of shit I wants to draw, I'll never run out and I sure don't get bored. And since I wants them to be as good as possible I study and improve on the way to have what I wants.
