Draw David

Work on form and shadow more. Also work on line control. And Value. And perspective.
I trashed the shit out of it. 15 min work.
HATE that point of view, though.
So, I want to get a tablet, but I just want to know if using an intuos as opposed to a cintiq will have a skill limit, like how good the lineart can be, etc. I feel like having a screen to draw on directly can give you more of an edge. I want to be able to draw comics so I want clean lineart ultimately
Both are pretty much the same, except a screen-less tablet is a lot better than cintiq because with a cintiq, your hand covers up your work.
Intuos is too small. Get Cintiq or Huion instead.
>>2877114
an intuos medium or large isn't good enough?
rusty ship wreck is good fun yes, many gains here
you can copy to train your rendering or do something loosely based on the image and use it just for ref, idc, all goes

What's a good job to pay bills with while trying to make it as an artist?
I recently left my last job in engineering, after several years of doing this I have no intention of getting another job in engineering since it requires me to devote a lot of my time in and out of work to absorbing and learning new practices. Constantly being immersed in that didn't leave time to work on art long enough for it to take off as my full-time job. My ideal is to make $2400 a month without having to invest more than 40 hours a week, I can work most jobs with technical requirements because of my background.
I'm considering working as a pizza deliveryman since it pays modestly well for the time involved, allows me to listen to e-books on the job for learning, and won't mentally drain me when I go home to work on art. It also gets me out of the house (unlike online jobs). Working as a bar-back also seems pretty nice.
Others recommended transcribing (not very stable since it's on-call), dogwalking (I will be too exhausted when I go home to work on art), house-sitting (more difficult to find work since I am male), waiting tables (extremely stressful and need to be on feet for entire day), or customer support call-centers (does not pay very well).

>house-sitting (more difficult to find work since I am male)
For anyone wondering why I mentioned being male: Yes, it's actually significantly more difficult to find work house-sitting as a male since many people offering jobs doing this are female and are uncomfortable with males spending time around their personal belongings (underwear).
>>2872379
work in a call center, easy to find, growth opportunity, good pay after your first year ( 18 to 26 CAD). and if you become a supervisor it's an accidental career. You're competing with minorities and dumbasses. You can draw at work depending on the job.
If not, a ton of physical labor pays well, may it be security guard (16-22CAD but you need a license) ( waste time walking around), airport guards ( 17-19 CAD), construction workers ( 39 CAD) etc.
Why settle for a literal dead end job?
>>2872379
>customer support call-centers (does not pay very well)
LMAO I don't know what drug you're on. It's easy Any call center ob > job hop to service provider> job hop to bank or tech support > 20-25 CAD in 2 years time

How do I draw cute anime girls like the OP?
>>2866649
Becoming cute yourself is the 1st step in such a conquest.
>>2866655
Okay, I'm cute now. What's the next step?
So. I came across this youtube video. Some might say it is Deviant art cringe on parade. (most of the "levels" would still be level 1 by /ic/'s standards.)
That being said What level do you think your art is? (Not necessarily using this scale. ) If /ic/ came up with a level scale what would it look like ?
Here is the video for those craving cringe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j38HRF17YMA
>Level 1: ????
>Level 2: ????
>Level 3: ????
.

>Level10: ????
Is this a fucking joke?
>>2865747
Not sure if you mean is the video serious, or the post?
Is this supposed to be a logarithmic scale or something? Each level is easily ten times as much experience as the last.

How does one learn to draw?
One reads the sticky

Ends up like the creator of it, the mighty nosebro
>>2878810
Sticky was proven to be bad, anything else?
Downloaded Gimp today, made my first meme what do you guys think kek
that's actually pretty good. more?
This shit takes a while, ill get back to you later tonight after this 12 hour long art sesh
What do you guys think of Max Grecke?
>>2877733
I'd never heard of him before, but I took a quick look through his stuff. He's good, but not to my taste at all.
His work is kinda interesting. Nice cartoonish style and good rendering, but as >>2877756 said, it's not to my taste also.
>>2877733
Welcome to ic. Noone likes good art. Unless theres asses or fur or dripping wet pussies its not art. This here is the birthplace of degeneracy. Please leave and dont let your views be twisted by these fucking mongoloids. Max is really, really good. And everyone who aspires to work in the industry or is working there knows that. Patreon hentai bux can only get you so far faggots.
What does /ic/ think about SpeedoSausage? YouTube animator and NSFW artist.
>>2877661
He's pretty good, could use some more traditional drawing on the side.
His yt yu-gi-oh parody video was pure cringe though.
>>2877661
weird how he had a super grossout edgy style of humor and now it's just cute girls. [spoiler]very hot girls too.[/spoiler]
>>2878555
what's the point of a spoiler hotkey if it doesn't work
>tfw literally can't do anything in life without being under the effects of an stimulant med
Am I the only one here taking stimulants to work?
Yes.
>>2876049
Post your work
>>2876014
It's all in your head. You can do anything. You don't need anything but the literal tools that are required to perform the task and the knowledge of how to do so. Stimulants don't make you do anything. You're just an asshole.
Can we have a scifi character design inspiration thread? I'm starting a scifi comic and i need some influence!

Are animal designs wanted also?
Is there any way to make easily get freelance work drawing for a living that doesn't include asking for commissions on tumblr?
I don't have much of a following, but I desperately need money. I want to just draw some shit for people or something.
>>2877857
Be good, now post work or delete the thread
>>2877857
Freelance means you can do anything anon
If you want to draw stuff for people though, you should figure out what kind of stuff you want to draw.
>>2877857
Draw high quality drawings and such a lot and post it in Facebook and other social media. Do really good work and show it around your town. Let cafes and places sell it for a commission and leave a business card that says affordable portaits and landscapes ect.
Figure out what people want and make samples of it, people will just come to you.

How much ad revenue can you honest expect to make when 90% of your userbase are 14 year old furries?
>>2873816
>Change or die, as they say.
I hope not. Most of my fanbase is on DeviantArt simply from longevity vs. Tumblr where I've got fucking nothing.
