Draw whatever you want and once you're done with a piece, figure out what looks off about it and keep it in mind for when you practice

Rinse and repeat and you'll be able to have fun and improve at the same time

If you want to have fun, draw crazy shit for fun, but if you want to get better, grind them fundies. Simple, mate.

by buying bots.

delete thread please.

because they're hyper normies with 600+ friends. They write some inane inspirational, and 2deep4me shit every time they post their work on facebook and all the other retards just gobble it up like the drones that they are.

You're probably a different kind of bad. There's technically bad art with appeal and then there's technically bad art with nothing else.

Put in the work. Godspeed anon.

I haven't drawn in two days, should I just give up?

>>3109175
fuck off for one thing

>>3109150
no

that's a penis isn't it

elaborate I've never heard of this before

better than nothing fampai. work with it til it tones itself down. always be aware of what composition your internalized perspective comes to suggest and ask yourself if its what you need right now. and then correct accordingly.

ever rifle needs to miss the first couple shots to be zeroed on the target.

>>3109017
How can you internalize perspective without knowing how to not make it exaggerated?

I think OP means he can finally turn an object from being flat to looking three-dimensional, but in the process, he sucks at checking his proportions so it's better in a way but at the same time it's got another issue to it.

>>3108983
fuck off, this looks great. The only thing that could be improved is maybe the shape of the pectoralis, its a big round where it could be edging more twoards its insertion points.

>>3108983
Sorry to say this so late in the game, but I really think the pose could be more dynamic, have you heard of the Line of Action? Research it, practice it, and incorporate it into your next piece.

>>3108983
first off, great job

second, i think you are insisting on too much of his torso being exposed. you could hide a lot of it behind the knee that comes forward

i am just saying this because i know ive seen spiderman fly around sort of hunched over.

What I do, if you play multiplayer games, claim to everyone no matter what that you will win. Yes you'll get comments that you're being toxic or w/e but it dispels failure in my mind. Even if I lose I get a good laugh out of it.

And it translates to drawing similar for me but because drawing is a long haul it's harder to think in that way. So I substitute it by talking shit to anons here that I don't like that one day I'll be better than everyone. It works. I might have a child mentality though.

That's using /ic/ as a scapegoat to funnel your negative emotions into though. It's not really addressing the problem.

I don't have the luxury of such time.

>>3107712

It's just another tool. You can do that like half the people do on here subconsciously anyway or you can watch a cheesy youtube video about "make many drawings and one day you'll be a star :-)" for the 10th time. Your pick.

Refs for you bois

i am the art god who can draw any form, in any light scheme in any style from memory or without having ever seen anything like it.

What do you really want with art, OP?

>>3107232
Post work

While your outlook is in the right place, there are just those that stick with the same shit over not wanting to step outside the comfort zone or haven't put much practice into other areas, yet they can excel in the spesific they do.
Not every ones process is the same either, nor desire.

If you're asking that variation is as important as fundamentals, isn't fundamentals in itself variation?

this one is cool, but lose the cringe as hell title faggotry.

>maybe tomorrow
disgusting.

I'm a fan, OP

What about the title os cringey, sempai?

Just go out and do it. The first few times will be awkward and you will hate any time people talk to you, but you will get used to it and any future conversations will be okay. You can also put on headphones which is kind of a universal "do not bother me" sign.

>are any of you plein air painters, and do you ever have to deal with people walking up to you?
yes and no. the idea that you have to be outside to finish the painting is mostly myth, and the practice should've died with the impressionists.

The best thing to do if you want to work plein air is to do drawings, as detailed and with as many notes on color as you want, and finish the painting in a studio or wherever you paint indoors.

Everything you can learn from plein air paintings you can learn from painting indoor with still lifes. Then take that knowledge and apply it to drawings you've done outdoors. Light is light.

I see all these "plein air artists" who literally go outside for an hour, block in a landscape on a tiny canvas on their little portable easel, and instagram their way to victory. That is NOT good practice. You will learn more by drawing than painting anyways, and painting outdoors is so distracting and difficult that honestly it's not worth it.

You only have to be outside painting and have your easel blow over, or your painting smack into the dirt, or it to start raining, to realize that your romantic idea of "being in nature" isn't actually suited to making good paintings.

>Bierstadt executed this painting in his studio, three years after going there

Yeah I get people who walk up to me whether I'm drawing or painting outdoors. Mostly older couples, some teenage girls, Asians, weird Australian aboriginals that chat my head off, and rich grande dames who want to make their connoisseurship known, but thankfully children tend to leave me alone. You shouldn't be so antisocial... just carry a taser in your pocket!

Get some canvas clips and a portfolio bag. I use 18x24" canvases. A foldable easel can go over top of it. Keep paint tubes in a backpack.

You are not trying to get into the industry by posting work on deviantart, that's ridiculous.

what's the first one suppose to be?

Buy a Cintiq. Listen to a lot of Brian Eno records. Realize the tuning fork in your loins is receiving vibrations from the insect overlords whose primordial call compels us all to be and do. Draw from the shoulder at a drafting table. Stop picking at your dry cuticles.

How do I stop picking at my dry cuticles? Man this is a never ending rabbit hole! I will never be able to draw a circle.
