You're in the exact spot I'm in, though I haven't graduated yet. The thing is, if you aren't extremely prolific, technically skilled, or have a lot of friends/associates or all three, then art is mostly only going to be a hobby. Networking is extremely important, and I know I'm shit at it so I've come to grips with the notion that I'll never make a living from my art. That's just how it is. Schmooze or lose.

When did you stop enjoying pictures for what they are and not as a benchmark of someone's technical adequacy?

Yes.

That's like saying there's too many people who aspire to be rich and that they should stay broke.

how do I avoid constantly perceiving my art as being better than it actually is? I often don't realize how bad or weird something is until I improve significantly and its holding me back

Save your old art so you can laugh at how terrible it is and track your improvement.

it's natural, I guess. Be humble, be receptive to critique and flip the canvas

I have an idea to improve IC. Hopin someone with a higher IQ can develop/ build on it.
When posting art to the appropriate thread, we should use the Name field to as an opportunity to show what our goals are.
Maybe like a title or something. People will post their art and you can see what they're trying to become or something similar.
Examples:
>Neet Hobbyist
>Professional Concept Artist
>Anime fag
>Better Than You
>etc.

Only people who give a fuck would participate anyways.

>>3014851
It'll potentially be a way to get around vague advice
>>
>>3014849
your idea has merit but not for that. people should learn to the fundies anyways and if they're doing alt style, we'd see it in their post
maybe as something to tailor the reply to their needs
maybe fundie-focused?
maybe also as a way for posters in the self-promo threads to know upfront if one is down to be hit up

I've tried doing this myself, but at a certain point I struggle to see my brush/cursor. I really wanna draw with thinner lineart but trying gives me a headache. My eyesight is already very poor.

1. bigger screen
2. cintiq
that's my guess only, I'm using a small intuos draw and I have to zoom in a lot more than I see in youtube speedpaintings.

>>3018308
That's more for painting than drawing. When you're painting you're thinking more in terms of light and masses and precisions is less important. Obviously you won't be able to produce accurate lineart if you work on a thumbnail sized document window. If you just want to do a rough lay in then again absolute precisions isn't as important. I often squint or cross my eyes slightly to see the big picture rather than the details.
And no cintiqs or bigger screens have literally nothing to do with it. Any regular size monitor is just fine.

That pencil won't make you any better so it doesn't matter. But if you must know, it is a white mechanical pencil...

You two cunts, quit being bitter. Anon didn't think that this pencil was Excalibur or anything special, just wanted to know what it was.
OP, it's a white Koh-I-Noor Rapidomatic, probably 0.5mm

I found these zodiac signs in the "V" mask, but I did not want to continue looking for the meanings of each symbol, since it seems to me really long and mysterious.
