Do you make money?
Are you a traditional artist or a digital one?

I'm a traditional artist, I make money in two different ways, I make cheap illustrations that are simple and I sell them in markets and from time to time I make illustrations for books, bands, etc. The other way I make money is with more serious art, I do oil paintings and sell them to art galleries, I don't make that much money with galleries but oil painting is what I enjoy the most.
>>
Traditional. Make money by selling paintings and selling the rights to the images. Don't make a great deal of money. Not enough to live on.
>>
>>3121720
i'm traditional. I don't make much at all, but it seems to me that when you have a physical piece, people react better to it. Also there is immediate word of mouth.
I have a whole book I uploaded and the reception is lukewarm. But when people see the real book in reality, there is an instant connection.

These are some weird characters I'm making, I'm planning on making a few more and hopefully smashing them all into one picture which might not work but we'll see. They're supposed to be gods, but of what specifically I'm not sure
I don't know, are they too weird or boring?

after 3 years of drawing at a casual pace, i finally have enough skills to make decent drawings(pic related)
but now i have struck a brick wall.
i want to start taking drawing more serious, but the problem is that everybody tells to buy books and welp.....i can't buy on the internet "cuz i live in shitty country.png"
Basically, is there any good courses, videos, books that are free?
I hope this helps me and anyone who is on my same situation

Hello /ic/ does anyone here wanna be art buds, I feel at the moment that I'm quite solitary with my art and was wondering if any anons here wanna connect and maybe do a few projects together. I'm sure their are other anons who would like to partner up on the path.
I think it would be best to post your age and location for possible meetups or outings (museums, zoos etc.) and maybe some artwork to show your current level.

Let's take 2 people for example. They both have 1,000 hours of practice. Person A makes a finished piece(let's use comics in this example) and person B just makes sketches.
Person A: Because person A is pushing himself to make finished pieces his skill set is going to be more rounded. For example
Perspective: 3/10
Composition: 3/10
Appeal: 3/10
Anatomy: 3/10
Values: 3/10
Color theory: 3/10
Gesture: 3/10
Proportion: 3/10
etc etc
Person B:
Composition: 0/10
Perspective: 3/10
Color theory: 0/10
Proportion: 5/10
Appeal: 5/10
Anatomy: 5/10
etc etc
Basically at the end of the day who is really better? Person A has a more rounded skill set because he did finished work consistently vs person B who missed on certain skills but advanced further in certain skills because he focused moreso on basic drawing skills?
Basically, it seems to me that doing finished pieces doesn't make you a better artist but rather it allows you to prioritize and balance your skill set better. Because if your eye level is higher than your skill level you'd always see flaws in your art, you don't need to finish stuff to know where you need to improve. Thoughts?

Neither. You shouldn't just be "making sketches" for the sake of making sketches. Just look at the people in LAS for example; sketches and no focus on improvement whatsoever since they joined. The other half, finishing pieces, is a yes and no but mostly no. Finishing something yes, can push you to see how much you know into one thing. That and sometimes you just want to complete something because you like drawing, fine. But as a beginner there is just so much ground to cover that your first 2 years (in my opinion) shouldn't be wasted finishing garbage. The only benefit is that when someone asks you to show your work you can present them your best stuff.
As you try to finish things you'll notice you don't know X or Y and it's hampering you to get your vision across. And it wastes a lot of time had you know Z subject your drawing process would have been near completion a lot sooner.
I believe your first 2 to 3 years should be just accepting you'll be shit and grind your fundamentals. That is the hardest part. Wanting to show an audience finished artwork despite you being shit. Sketches are great but it needs to show understanding and not drawing scribbles in a vacuum. Applying what you know to something more refined.
>>
I think if you're finishing pieces frequently and consistently you're putting out more work to catch yourself out on after some time has passed. Especially in a medium as breakneck as comics, where there is rarely time to sit on any one piece for too long anyway.
I'd rather get to a certain standard a bit more slowly through a steady body of finished work than slave away studying and having nothing solid to show.

Im not really into conspiracies and this is not an /x/ post but they dont want a world to support art and put it as a real job because all the countries has the same fucking problem with art, yeah they're powerful people that if they want could put art and human expression like real job but they dont want to. and most studios are made by normal citizens like us THAT SUCKS REALLY

I have a similar idea, but it has more to do about how we strive for survival, and social resistance.
Art as itself is not a need to survive, a picture or song won't feed you or has a practical use in how a society works (roads, electricity, water treatment, etc), art is simply seen as a mere entertainment. So that's why when you tell someone you want to be an artist you experiment social resistance coming from them, either by making fun of you or trying to "scare you off" of it.
Maybe deep inside they think of artists as less because what we produce has not a real benefit for survival, and also why many artists have self-esteem problems.
>>
>>3122573
This is a modern problem, I'm sure our governments are more afraid of journalists than of artists. Government put a lot of $ in advertisment. Companies too.
In my european country, public buildings spent 1% of their building cost into art: meaning the local artists are chosen and sponsored by local politics - so in a socialist town you'd better be a big leftist if you want your art in those public buildings. Those artists are mere tools for propaganda, as they were for Pharaoh, they just don't realize how they're being played - or they don't care.

Anyone try this?
It does seem like it can be helpful to have something that simulates 3d environment colors like the non PS "Colour Constructor" application but something about it looks flatter and less accurate.
Also maybe can talk about PS plugins in general if you want or if anyone has recommendations. Right now I am really loving Brusherator but I have a pirate version and have been considering buying the legit copy since it has more features.

How do you teach yourself to see in your mind while drawing?
It only seems to work when I am too tired to focus, so I am free to wonder in my mind while drawing at the same time.
