What causes a once great artist to get lazy and the art they makes takes a hit? Do they stop practicing?
I'm only using this image as an example, as it's a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

they can slack on quality cause their fanbase wont honestly care a whole lot.

It's called drawing comics. It's a lot of work, and often results in imperfect art because of time constraints. If you've never drawn sequencial art under a deadline you wouldn't understand. Incase likely spends way more time on his(?) pinups than he does on a single panel. As such the anatomy etc. suffers. Even advanced artists can produce crappy art under a deadline.

This, it's a big reason why manga opts for simple anime faces instead of more detailed realistic ones most of the time. People underestimate how HARD drawing comics is.
Hi d/ic/ks, i've been drawing for a while now. I have a part time job after working full time for a while. long story short I want to know what I need to do to start taking commissions.
So for all you anons taking commissions, how'd you start? What did you do to get it going? Thanks!
>>2822103
Post what you think is your best piece for starters.
Anyways the first thing you need is a following on social media. Twitter, deviant art, tumblr, etc (furry sites if you do that shit). Once you have people who look at your art and come back for more, you make a post about commissions with prices and examples. You spam the shit out of that post as much as you can without losing followers and hopefully you sell some. Ask them (nicely) for referrals.
Up your price when you think there is demand. Start small and stay humble.
>>2822211
Oh, and do art trades with people who you follow. If someone with thousands of followers retweets your commission post because you did an art trade with them, it's great.
Is this realistic enough for you?

Other one for comparison
Definitely is. Look at those perfect crescent ears and that masculine engilsh-stock potato nose. Awesome find (you should add it to his wikipedia page).

Sage all around
So while I did spend the last 2.5 years at an art school, something happened with my health and I had to take this semester off. What I'm worried about is that I might lose my artistic motivation. SO rather than sit and mope around all day about not having anything to look forward to (except getting better)... I wanted to kind of get a scope of my art-education options that I might take advantage of after I get better.
I know of CGMA, Gnomon, Schoolism, and Brainstorm Schools for online classes...but What about ateliers or maybe online ateliers? I am in Michigan if that helps.
Anyway I'm probably looking for having a traditional class and then a digital class. And I just want to lay out my options.
>>2822149
Ateliers are the best option if you want to learn how to draw representational art. The teachers there will actually guide you and tell you why something is off. Ateliers is where you should learn your fundies. Don't do online courses. They're a meme. You already have a ton of tutorials you can find online.
>>2822159
But I thought Ateliers were the meme that don't actually teach you anything but wasting your time with copying. Proko went to an atelier.
>>2822162
It's not "wasting your time", it's just focused on life painting/drawing. So while atelier studies help, they are not focused on imagination stuff. Very few schools teach drawing from imagination to any significant degree. It's very sad that there are pretty much no schools that teach FZD/Scott Robertson/ID style sketching without the design angle. I spent a few years at an atelier, met some well known digital painters there aswell. All of the guys who had serious ability to draw from imagination had learnt that skill on their own time. The atelier training helped them do nicer studies from life, and make their values and edge work in their digital paintings a bit tighter but that's about it. There were several students in the atelier that produced stunning drawings from life but were average or /beg/ tier when drawing from imagination.
I noticed that, especially amongst the crowd of early 20s hopeful male artists, is that many of them want to become concept artists out of all things
Do they want to spend the next years of their lives copy pasting helicopters to bikini women and call that a robot design?
>have awesome ideas
>you can get a job that has you just design shit like you've always wanted to
>not want to do this
It's just like how people want to do illustration because you get to draw whatever you want and make money.
>>2816278
its because that is what most 20s hopeful male artists think is the easiest path to a lucrative art career. Illustration makes money these days, moreso than fine arts. It's very risky to get into fine arts right now and the successful young fine artists might as well be selling concept art anyways. Illustration is the thing right now.
But that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the thing forever. Who knows in 20 years traditional portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and nudes will be what the public prefers to buy and consume. But for the time being it's furry porn.

>Want to be artist
>Don't want to draw generic anime
>Want to draw generic photobashed fantasy/sci-fi instead.
>Waste time shitposting
>End up drawing work in progress mercenaries 10 years later.
>Get lost in a sea of wannabe illustrators.
>Die virgin.
Art isn't the right path at all.
Hey guys, so after more than 8 hours of work, i've finally done it ! I did it n'y myself with no model, and i've never been to an art school or learned how to draw. I know that the proportions arent really respected (i find the legs too small compared to the rest of the body), but i did my best.
All with pencils !
Tell me what you think about it.
>>2822127
perspective and proportions are off, use reference
>>2822135
Yeah I know... I've never really learned how to draw, so everything about proportions, perspective and everything is unknown to me...
>>2822137
never too late to start
I am a art student who come from Hong Kong
Is there any good concept art forum that people can post work and critique each other or share reference photos?
It seems I cant any forums like that.
Pic is my recent work
Nice work, anon.
You could give conceptart.org a look. They have a forum for critiques.
DeviantArt isn't bad either. You can ask for critique when you submit your work but I'm not sure if you need premium membership or not to access that feature.
We are technically a concept art forum though
About half the artists are about it while the other half are illustrators
Would you buy an abstract painting?
>>2821812
Yes.
But not this one.
>>2821812
Sure, if I like it. I don't really like that one tho.
Lee Krasner is my favourite.
No.
I've never seen an abstract painting that moved me as much as certain figurative paintings.
Is it common for you to finish a digital full color commission with BG in 12 work hours or I'm just slow?
Reminder that speed does not matter and that quality is always most important.
>>2813251
I usually give two days for a piece, it could take anywhere from 4 to 18 hours depending.
if the client wants a tone of revisions then i give a week.

so i wanna start learning about graffiti and all this stuff but i know nothing, not even from where to take my infos...can you recommend me some books or some tips for the beginning or how to learn, anything at all would help.

>>2822039
