You need a user base first, you don't aquire the user base by having a patreon. So you'll need a few thousand followers atleast on other platforms before even thinking about Patreon. Source: guy with successful patreon that I asked

How?

>>2768496

That is something you largely need to figure out for yourself. If you need guidance, study and emulate the online social presence of successful artists you like.

Social media is a skill just like art & design, and it needs to be practiced like one. Do it, pay attention to what works and what doesn't, and build off your mistakes.

Lil bit racist but I think there's a growing market for that kind of stuff again

Additionally, I'm going through the Head and Hands again and want to approach it as effectively as possible, so I'm looking for some tips.

Why does nobody on this board know how to use books?

Draw whatever the fuck figures you want. Use the book as backup when you don't know what the fuck you're exactly doing.

This isn't your pre-algebra textbook where you're going through page by page and doing exercises.

Read text, draw the pictures accurately, clos book, draw pictures from memory, open book, fix your mistakes. Keep going.

fuaaark, leg routine?

>>2775028
do you want critique on the character design and/or technical aspects? Also what's the context? what was asked of you?

>>2775035
what?

Do what makes you happy. Money past supporting your expenses isn't going to make you any happier. If doing a trade and having art as a hobby would make you happy, do that. Or do art as a career. If you have the choice, you should put your own happiness first.

Not gonna make it.

>Money past supporting your expenses isn't going to make you any happier.

Not OP, but this is not true, at least for me and many others. Knowing that I have money in the bank in case of hard times, or having extra money for silly things like getting drinks or buying gifts and misc goods that you don't need but want help leaps and bounds with being happy. Having enough for your basic needs is first base.

Not a pastels experiment, honestly have yet to try them but want to. However, I watch a lot of people use them. Notice that Youtube artist tend to use a darker toned colored paper. One artist in particular that I follow uses this often.

Toned papers do work best, you want a mid-value that's not too light or too dark so both your highlights and darkest darks show through well, either a neutral tone or slightly warm or cool leaning, depending on what you're painting. Get some Canson Mi-Teintes. It's 60% cotton and has two different textured sides, a smoother one and a rougher side with a more pronounced mesh.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_management_theory

Terror management theory (TMT) proposes a basic psychological conflict that results from having a desire to live, but realizing that death is inevitable.

This conflict produces terror, and this terror is then managed by embracing cultural values, or symbolic systems that act to provide life with meaning and value.

Well fuck, strawpoll doesn't give you number of voters. There goes my analysis.

>>2774410
Yes

I tell myself that even if I fail, I'll still be in a better place than I was before.
I'm not quitting my day job, by the way.

>>2774258

Better than ungrateful artists who should be happy to have clients.

you don't need to visualise you dumb cunt, just construct it or use your intuition for line placement.

how long have you been at it?
You sound like you're being too precious with your throwaway work. Or else not being conscious enough of what you're doing. Practice will give you the mental catalogue that makes "visualization" possible.

This might not be true if you're autistic.

>>2775699 here
to clarify, i can visualise things in my head but i never use it drawing

>>2775383
>drawing at all
I mean, its cool to have a hobby but being serious about it is pretty autistic

Do a practice webcomic or something and continue improving on the side.
