I've never really tried to enable trannies but now I feel awkward as fuck

it probably assumed you used the pronoun on purpose, too.
they're all fighting this imaginary war in their heads.

lol how sensitive

If xir isn't able to look past your """mistake""" and ignores your critique because of it, xom doesn't deserve it anyways
Okay straight to the point. I am 23, poor as fuck and I need money to move out as soon as possible.

I know that drawing takes time but I like doing it and I feel like that's the only thing I can do. I am a slightly above beginner tier, I only have drawn from observation in my life so far, pic related my still life study.
>blurry muddy values
Nigga you still a beginner. If your home life sucks so much commit sudoku.

Great post, hang yourself now.

You're the one wanting to escape your shitty life not me.
All my life I was doing observational drawing and I can't do shit from imagination.

Is Picasso the shitposter of the art world?
>>3103451
>it's a "Im 13 and my teacher just told me about impressionism" thread
>>3103451
How's so? Picasso was creating technically skilled veristic portraits at like age 12. Are you one of those idiots who actually thinks Picasso just didn't understand anatomy or anything so he "developed" this edgelord style?

bad bait
I got stoned for 2 weeks and made this blasphemous hand drawn comic/video on the life of Jesus

Thanks for lowering the value of art, shithead
really beaks ya beaks
>want to make a username to post my artwork on
>the ones I want are either taken or sounds like garbage after pondering on it
You don't come up with a username the username finds you. It'll show itself and then you'll think "huh that's a nice name" and use it for a random account. Funny enough I come up with usernames when typing filenames and I'm not even thinking about what I type.

I guess I'll just wait until it clicks with me huh?
I've noticed more and more artists on patreon who are just tracing and painting over. Getting to skip a lot of the tedious foundationwork means they're more prolific, seen more, and earn more.
Is this the only way to compete as newcomers in art? Who has the motivation to spend years drawing boxes when the easy path is just right there and more and more people are taking advantage of it every day, while you're sitting here drawing things no one cares about.
>>3109624
Tracing still involves skill, if you don't understand the underlying form, you can't manipulate it.
can you give us more details about these artists or post an example of their traced work? I find it hard to believe there's an easy way to build up and monetize any kind of online following, even when cheating is involved.
>>3109642
>you can't manipulate it.
tracing doesn't involve manipulating anything. it's just going over line for line that is already laid out.
>>3109646
We don't have a lot of details from OP, but if we're talking about tracing over photos to make lineart then yes, skill is involved. it's a form of simplification, which means the artist has to choose what to exaggerate and what to simplify. In order for the final product to look good they need to have a solid sense of design and know what factors to keep and which ones to simplify (usually beginners include a dark line connecting the nose to the corner of the mouth, not realizing that in black and white, or draw every single eyelash. The end result doesn't look good). Also line weight, and line quality are important factors here.
Tracing takes less skill than drawing something from your head, but without a clear sense of design the final product will suffer.

I'm not even glad of my post

I feel like trying some new brushes. Share your favorite ones.
What the hell, why aren't people sharing their brushes and shit anymore.
Also a bump for you OP.
>>3110288
Make your own brushes. Even the ones I buy I tend to modify them. A brush is like glove.

There's no point in drawing if you don't enjoy the grind of practicing right? I guess I will just keep looking at drawings and wishing I could draw it.
Did you enjoy losing? No, but you lost anyways until you won. So why do you choose to give up now?
>>3108140
how about you draw things you like
[spoiler]idiot[/spoiler]
>>3108140
The love of grinding comes with time. My new stuff takes waaay longer than what I did when I was starting out.
Heck sometimes I wonder if I have truly improved or I just became more patient
why cant evangelicals into art?
Because evangelicalism doesn't lend itself to art. I grew up Southern Baptist in Alabama. I drew lots of art with orcs and trolls and shit because I was into LotR and Warcraft, and this one lady at my church kept urging me to stop drawing "demons" and use my talents "to serve the lord." So right off the bat you're limiting what kids can draw, hell even Bosch and Michelangelo drew demons. Some Catholic art from centuries ago has limp dicks and breastfeeding titties, which would give evangelicals a heart attack even today.
So in the end you're aspiring to be another Thomas Kinkade, but with less cabins and more angels. You're not looking at and being influenced by the best art that history has to offer, you're not studying the nude figure, and most importantly:
your audience doesn't give a single flying fuck. you think little old ladies and youth pastors even know the art sucks? these are, excuse the pun, total philistines. moreover, they don't even care if it's that good in the end, they still sing their hearts out every sunday knowing good and well they can't even carry a beat, but it doesn't matter. ideologically, it's about praising god, and the art is an offering to the lord. So if you tried your best or thought nice things about jesus while you made it, that's enough.
>>3107980
i think it goes against the concept of not worshipping false idols in their beliefs. So no evangelical church would pay an artist to depict bible scenes and stuff.
>>3108006
Not true. Megachurches are the worst for prominently displaying this kind of art all over the place.
