Get the terminology right.
Style is mostly applied to conceptual art, what you are attempting is a series of paintings or themed works.
Selling your line of bullshit is half the battle, this is the worthless etc shit you learn in art history/art school. (damien hirt would be alpha in this department)

>“You’ve got … your Despairing type, who’s fine as long as he’s in the quick-improvement stage before a plateau, but then he hits a plateau and sees himself seem to stall, not getting better as fast or even seeming to get a little worse, and this type gives in to frustration and despair, because he hasn’t got the humbleness and patience to hang in there and slog, and he can’t stand the time he has to put in on plateaux, and what happens?”
How do you beat plateau?

Unplug the usb. Uninstall all tablet stuff. Restart pc. Reinstall the drivers. Then plug the usb again. Wacom always gives me errors, sometimes this helps

chill out bruh and kill yourself

>>2814679
Uninstal the current driver then go the website and download a newer driver from there
restart the computer from that point

Why is it so fucking hard to draw? Like seriously. Seeing so many artists that put their masterpieces on discord makes me feel like killing myself. Like, how the fuck is it that they got it so fast and i didn't? Is there a special trick that im not aware of? Ive been drawing all my childhood up until now and i still cant draw a fucking human, wait, no, i cant draw anything nor think of any design for character, environment or whatever. I literally have no visual library despite playing vidya and watching sf films since i was 6. Reading through fun with pencil was so vague, left me copying these goofy head balls very poorly. I remember when drawing used to be the only thing i enjoyed about life, now ive got nothing left. I... I'm not gonna make it...

You probably didn't practice the fundamentals as you should have
> Ive been drawing all my childhood up until now and i still cant draw a fucking human, wait, no, i cant draw anything nor think of any design for character, environment or whatever
No one gets to that level simply by drawing a shitton, otherwise there would be cavemen with the same skill as modern artists. You apply fundies + study the works of great artists + draw a shitton before you can draw those things without it looking like rubbish.
> I literally have no visual library despite playing vidya and watching sf films since i was 6.
You fell for the visual library meme anon. Doesn't matter what you've 'seen' if you don't draw it, else it won't stick.
>Reading through fun with pencil
That book is shit, read Keys to Drawing.
I hate myself for doing some random shit instead of drawing. 3 years ago until now was filled with pure free time that I wasted on shit I dont even remember. Only recently I started to do some work that isnt even good but at least I am doing something. But if I was doing it earlier, I would a lot better today. This struggle of being complete shit for a long time is what you call art. Drawing isnt fun at all, at least until you are good at it. Dont make yourself believe thats its all fun. It really isnt.
I will always hate myself for wasting my life.

I'm pretty glad I quit MMOs at a young age because this is what I feared. For the past 6 years a lot of my NEET time was spent on literature that filled my mental library with aesthetic goodies. So when I procrastinate from drawing I move on to reading, and I get inspired with all sorts of breddy nice ideas that I can then draw.
Now I just have to learn to reduce the time I spend shitposting here

Yeah, the problem with drawing is that you really can't get steady, fast and little progress. That's something you have to believe for. I am not tips fedora type of guy, but I dont believe in God, I just dont believe in things. I have to work for something I want but there is always something that shows me that I am getting closer and closer. With art I dont see myself being really better, sure I get somehow better but its a "make 100 pizzas" type of improvement. It will be better but not that much If I am not good at it.
Months and months of tears, self hatred for just being better at drawing heads? Is this what you call fun? Really? My stomach hurts everytime I think about my low skill and I start to hate myself even more.
There is no fun in drawing, you have to be masochistic to call it fun. Fuck, all of this misery even with me being a neet. What would I feel if I was full time worker? Fucking hell

Because there's no reason to keep cluttering up the Beginner Threads with our shit.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, there is a question thread for that.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead (I recommend ShareX)
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:

Oh, this is just great. the official ic fountain of diarrhea. This is how it will go basically
>A retarded artist who is too lazy or craves attention makes a thread for his artwork
>DURR DRAWFAG GENERAL
>Even though ic clearly does not want to help him and he should really just fuck off and improve his craft on his own, he decides to post the in the draw thread anyway
>DURR, beginner thread. You need to go there because since you messed up perspective line by a one cm... and its not a space marine
>Even though this stupid artist already knows what the fundamentals are, he still craves the attention of anonymous imageboard goers looking at his art and goes to beginner thread, where anything that isn't a reference drawing or boxes are forbidden
>DURR, THESE LINES AREN'T STRAIGHT, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DRAW PERFUCT SIRCLE TO POST THE PERSPECTIVE BEGINNER THREAD
And so, oringal artwork may never be posted on ic again, because critics dont know how to critique, and will just redirect you to generals.

Looking for a painting that looks roughly like this.
the background is kind of brownish i think...
It looks like a 2d stretched human figure that is looking to the side and the red is the crotch or something.
