No it's not.

I Cancelled my schoolism membership, sold my tablet, and threw away all of my sketchbooks.

Such a waste of time. And for what? It's completely unnecessary and serves no purpose.
Art is not needed, especially in today's society where the intellect, personality, and face reigns supreme.

To be honest, the "artistic lifestyle" seems almost like a childish endeavour at this point, and I don't mean any disrespect, but it seems like the most serious artists (asides from guys who are legit conceptartists/illustrators/porn artists but they represent a very low % of dedicated lifters) are also the people with nothing else going on in their lives.
I know this was true with me, I was biggest and most serious about drawing when I was still in uni, working only 15 hours a week, and pretty much just plucking around all the time, going out, with no real life.
To all you kids out there who are getting sucked into the comerical art , try to stop yourself.
So long as you have and maintain decent facial aesthetics, you'll be fine.
Art just not worth it.

Cheers.

>>2805307

this but learn to draw first. you need a good portfolio to even be considered. it's either that or buy a gun and do it to yourself

>>2805684
Sometimes, but most of mine are scenario based and would require multiple panels. I get too bored for drawing comics.

I paint nude portraits of girls I want to fug if that counts

Yeah, I can't go a single day without drawing a girl between 5'3" and 4'9" getting all her holes impossibly plugged and rammed by thick veiny cocks between 9" and 13"

The wife and I have had 2 Wacom 12WX tablets that still work fine, from 8 years ago or so. Plus one of those 21UX ones that also works just fine. Wife is using a 24HD that was bought when they were available and I'm using a 27QHD touch one, but the latest tablet would have to be a Surface Pro 4. Had a Surface 1 back when they were new but I didn't much like it for drawing. Works still, at least.

Three years and a half ago I bought a Huion 610 to replace my wacom bamboo.

Never had any pesky wrist problems since. Drawing on a excesively small surface really does a number on you. Plus, it still works like a charm.

Ordered a Ugee a while ago, read great things about it. I don't really see the need to go wacom at the minute, don't really want to pay 2 to 3 times the price when my chinese tablets offer me 80% of the experience already (but if everything goes well I may aim for the huge cintiq by the end of the year-- last christmas it was priced at 1500 euros in amazon)

Back in the web 1.0 days I bought a piece of shit chinktablet that barely worked, hated and returned it, and didn't pursue digital for a long time. More recently I got back into art and borrowed a friend's bamboo to try out digital. She doesn't use it often but does carry it around a lot and it's held up for like 5 years now. I bought a giano a month ago and still no surface wear unlike a lot of other tablets at this point.

Everyone I know trades up at some point before they wear out so the only ones I've seen crap out were ancient intuoses with cords that finally detached from the board or lost driver support and cintiqs that randomly shit the bed.

Take a look around you.
Chances are you're in a house.

Guess what someone designed your house. Someone designed your computer. Someone designed your clothes. You know that tablet? I'm sure there was a small team who designed the look of that.

ANYTHING that you see, touch, use has literally been someone elses design.

You know those cubicles that you're going to be stuck in for 40 years? Someone designed that too. Your favorite movie? A bunch of creative teams built that.

To say that art isn't important is to be completely ignorant to the world you exist within. Anything you interact with: the chair you sit in, the desktop UI, any game you can think of, product packages, clothes, shoes, cars, houses, weapons, utility items, utensils, your bed...Everything has been created by an artist.
Art is literally everywhere, and yet you choose to leave this world where your ideas are not only valued, but consumed by the public. Artists create trends, styles, and brands. While just developing pretty illustrations is totally fine, an artist can literally be the creator of anything. UX designers literally create experiences. It may not seem like art, but you are still creating the way someone interacts with something else.

I'm sorry you have to go, and you won't be missed. Sure artists arent going to cure cancer, nor are we going to mix chemicals together. But artists create experiences, and that alone is much more powerful in the long term.

Art is worth it, but it isn't for everyone. Peace man, go into business management or head towards med school. Art can be compared to these other professions because of the amount of training and influence it has on the world. Anything else and you'll be REALLY wasting your life.

Those lines are from the brush they're using, I highly doubt they did that line by line.
I'm not sure what program you use, but I'd recommended trying out the different default brushes and playing around with the settings.

It's too soon. Keep working on it and come back at 50% completion.

>>2808999
There's already a lot I want to redline in this. If you post in the draw thread I'll do it there.

You should work on the whole drawing at once instead of getting bogged down in one place. It'll help you spot errors and make adjustments without losing too much of your time.

There isn't much there yet, but it looks to me like you're picking from a photo. If that's the case, don't do that to yourself; don't become a slave to your reference.

Thank me later guys.

Steve's book is great too. Simplifies everything down to the essentials. I'd recommend it for newbies before Loomis or Hampton.

I like the way Aaron Blaise teaches anatomy in his video course, I found it a really good starting point. It's on cgpeers.

why the fuck would you want to be in a discord with a bunch of pissy, aggressive, insecure novices

because I'm lonely and have no friends IRL

well here's the bottom line.
