Do you also get upset when you don't hear anything about one of your fav artist in a long time. Artist that just stopped posting years ago and you dont know why they stopped or of they are ok what if hes dead what if he fell into depression and quit art bit maybe he got a job at a major studio and he had to delete all his old stuff. Do you know some artists who just stopped ?

let them live their own life fuck off
life just gets in the way and often times it takes a negative turn to your creativity which then you make rash decisions
Yes, my cousin committed suicide and her deviantart/tumblr is still up like she's alive. I disappeared 7 months ago due to serious illness and may never return. I didn't let anyone know, because no one asked and I don't want employers to know.
Otoh I did know someone who returned after years and was fine. Just got busy and lost interest.
Do you know any artists that were born in poverty but made it? If so, do they have their history documented in any way? I need to motivate myself because I was born from miserable retards and I want to know that I can make it too.

Nigga, his childhood consisted of having his soft baby dick sucked by tanned latinas with enough silicone to choke a horse in their lips alone.

HOW THE FUCK DO I DRAW HANDS AND FEET
>Find way to abstract them with simple shapes and learn their proportions compared to the rest of the body
>Apply what you know from perspective to draw them in different angles, foreshortened, etc
>Learn how they are structure and work (range of movement, anatomy, etc)
Shit's simple, is that too hard for you?
I know what you mean. I always have trouble cramming all the fingers in and getting them all the right length. The hand is almost like a body unto itself
Why does it seem like its easier to draw a whole body than one hand?
What does 'making it' mean to you?

this might be the most /ic/ poll i've ever seen.
lists his idea of career success from top to bottom. highest honor an artist can have is "Being a professional in the industry". No choices for fine arts or design.
Yup, checks out. Illustration is the pinnacle of art, and shooting any higher is impossible and pretentious.

Hey so this official artwork was released, drawn by an artist known as Toyotarou. Thing is, I don't think the anatomy, namely on the torso is really correct here... any suggestions on how one might fix it?
the left pec is too small

Bad foreshortening. Same case with Frost right above him.

Describe your fav artist with a spongebob pic

This is where 5 years of drawing gets you, drawing is a worthless skill to pick up.
Sometimes my drawings turn up great, other times I cant draw a circle
Fuck this shit
>>3106419
it's because you're not getting the direction you need and unfortunately you're not going to get them here. You should try and find someone with a proven background to give you tips, critiques, and guidelines for you to follow.
>>3106419
Your statement is illogical. Your contention is that drawing is a useless skill but your supporting premises imply that it's useless because you're shit at it. That doesn't make sense.

...WELL I AM
she cute, finish it.
I'm trying to get into digital art as a hobby. Besides the sticky and lurking /ic/, I got a wacom and was wondering if pic related is a good book to get started with the medium. I prefer not to use adobe products (or anything non-free) so I hear krita is where it's at.
you should start looking for youtube tutorials or finding the manual of your software. The big problem with the digital tools that you need to learn the software at the same time you learn how to draw, this is why many people will tell you that it's better start using pencil.
If you are a hobbist, the software that you will use will no matter that much, but many people prefer photoshop (it's the industry standar) because it's has a lot of documentation. so the only thing that I can say you it's try many programs until you find the one you like it.
Is not a good book it teaches you how to use krita but it doesn't teach you how to paint
What is a good way to promote my father who is an artist? Pic related
I made a decent website for him and now I don't know what else...
>>3105915
Tell him to do fan art commissions.
>>3105915
Make him enter local and web art galleries
Aye. I'd post this in /beg/ but I've been doing art my whole life. Don't feel like it tho
Just looking for critique so don't give me any shit.
Please be hardcore as I'm trying to self improve.
I'd also like to hear what you think my kind of "theme" I'm going for.
Thanks guys
>>3105836
it looks uncanny. also is it Laci Green?
>>3105836
I think you're going for the middle christian art style. In that case maybe the colors are too saturated, make the edges more refined so they stand out and not merge with the background.
the face seems small for the head, so I'd make that bigger next time. Her head orientation is towards the bottom right but the nose is facing towards me.

My reference was not her
So, I've been drawing for like a year now like 4 hours a day and recently I wanted to test the 12 hour meme to see if it really worked. In the end, I was able to draw for 12 hours but it resulted in carpal tunnel. Mind you I was taking frequent breaks(every 30 min-hour) but it still didn't matter. I suddenly felt this extreme pain in my ring finger and when I went to the doctor, they diagnosed me with carpal tunnel. This is a warning for any beginner who wants to attempt anything this risky. Don't do it.
