>>2849315
Holy shit, don't listen to this faggot.

That is most definitely a penis

draw some werewolves?

you start in your room right now.
grab a pencil and a paper and start drawing

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

this book is pretty good

Andrew Loomis, my guy. He's the fucking master

I think this is better than the sketch you put up earlier. You should only put up finished work if you want an accurate opinion on this kind of question. Otherwise you're question should have been is my sketch as good as a professional's sketch. Apples and oranges.

you could probably earn $5 per hour by drawing pictures of kids books on payperhour etc. if you're desperate. But I think you have to whore yourself out to the max if you want more.

If you have dignity or want to improve,
I recommend you look at the sticky and lurk
your picture looks like those bad "how to draw anime" books westerners make

>>2849056
What's your goal OP
Are you going to do comics

But but muh fundamentals...

>>2848509

>making anything meaningful that actually affects people

1. You lucked out and made part of some movie/advertisment. Congratulations, you now made a piece that will be remembered for years - disregard that you only drew like 2 frames/concept art that maybe will be featured in "Art of X" (but probably not) and you are as important as 200 other people who did the assets in the background and hair on the 3D model of rabbit cop.

2. You are a hack YouTuber/meme teacher like Loomis/Vilppu/Watts and you branded yourself as super skilled fuck and other guys praise you and your skill because of 3 amazing FREE(tm) WIPs you made and which reached 50k views. Congratulations, you know influenced dozens of d/ic/ks into learning "good fundamentals" from you.

3. You actually worked your whole life as gallery painter, met with other artists like you, lone fucks with small families living boring life with no particular wealth. You are respected or mocked among your peers, but you have your name out there and critics have to write about someone and you have 3-4 spots in gallery here and there and sometimes sell a piece. Congratulations, rich fucks like your pretentious art and if you luck out, your wife will die out of cancer, your son will suicide and you will be murdered by your neighbor like Beksiński and people will make a cult following out of you, a movie and memesters and edgy fucks will repost 5 of your pieces that don't suck completely into oblivion.

>>2848509
What do you define as meaningful anyway? Popularity? Unmatched technical skill?

In my opinion we should just try to focus on doing whatever is pleasing to ourselves, not others.

>>2848376
Stop trying to replace the merc_wip with your shitty cup drawing. Saged

>>2848459

lol actually what?

Its really boring

>>2848185
Post yer werk fegget

>>2848185
>comparing yourself to JK200 himself
48 hours a day, 14 days a week.

>>2849459
What was /ic/ like back in '10?

>>2849459
There certainly weren't so many shitty threads such as those >>2848131

>>2849459
what if we can never know because theyve all made it and left?

You need to show us fully rendered pieces and at least ten-twenty of them for us to judge.

>>2849433
yeah sorry for that , here is my tumblr accout, dont follow if you want.

If you're looking to a be run-of-the-mill Tumblr cartoonist, you still might need to learn a bit of anatomy and gesture to get a grip on how the human body works. Other than that, if that's your pursuit, then there's not much to change about your style. However, if you're looking for actual, financial success as an artist, you've got a long way to go. Try reading the sticky.

Trains you to capture a drawing in 30 seconds instead of being a slow printer that takes hours.

>>2848999
makes you faster, time is money, maintaining concentration is time limited, improving your ability to capture landmarks, gesture, and proportion

>>2848999
Forces you to capture the essence/gesture/action and not get caught up in contours and details. Don't worry about making it realistic or "correct" necessarily.

Research the lives and memiors of the Wehrmacht more firstly. They did not have a fun time serving.

Nazi ideology ordains that they had innocent times ripped away from them by their enemies (the great depression), and they must take it back.

Anywho, this board is for actual artwork.

full blown cringe m8

are you 13?

>>2848291
Like anything it's up to the individual. It's more about updating consistently and building a following, do you have the discipline to do that?

>>2848293
I have been thinking about doing that but I dont know if its worth it. Sure it could be fun but at the same time I need to get at least some money from it. Would love to see webcomics that earn dosh for creators.

>>2848301
I mean, you can check patreon, but I can guarantee that most projects:

>Have several years worth up updates
>Active on social media/network at cons
>Generally pleasant

I don't think you can expect a profit right away, and comics are definitely not a get rich quick scheme, so do it if you think you'll enjoy it. Know that you won't make living wage solely on your webcomic now or ever.

At the same time, having a project like that under your belt can open new doors for you or opportunities you wouldn't have had otherwise. It's all in how you want to invest your time.

If you want short term gain, webcomics are probably a dead end, if you take the long game, it's probably worth more to you.

Also consider what's most creatively satisfying.

>>2846271
>Do I suck
Yes
>Should I give up
That's up to you.

>>2846272
I guess the question was less "should I give up" and more "can I still improve?"

>>2846277
Everyone can improve. Stop trying to find excuses for not wanting to draw. If you're this much of a crybaby then drawing isn't for you.

>>2849298
Perspective is easy. The hardest part is setting up a grid. The rest is super simple plug n chug tactics.

Curvilinear perspective is a bit tougher, but it can be eyeballed more.

Then there's stereoscopic perspective, reverse perspective, infinite-point perspective. There was a funny pic about it too, wonder if I can find it.

>>2849364
>hardest part
It's not even hard, it's just time consuming as fuck.

>>2849366
True
I guess I meant it's hard to remember all of the different terms and what the process is to get to them. When you're a beginner of course.

After a while grids become natural and it'll be ingrained in memory.
