To have decent realist art, you would have to be good. It takes years to get to that point. /ic/ isn't even ten years old yet.
>>
>>2758189
how about a figure drawing or portrait with decent proportions or shading?
even a realistic looking copy from a photo?
it's mostly people who don't like anything outside concept art...not so much defenders of classical realism,they don't have knowledge of that either, just haters of contemporary art..

How did you find those clients ? How long have you been posting drawing ?
I made a tumblr two weeks ago where I post frequently porn drawing but I feel like no one see it, when my skills are average and bad artists got a better popularity than me

Just read a great article by Greg Manchess on Muddy Colors.
What do you think about this?
So, you want to do it all. You want to be able to shift and change and not get cornered. You want to be able to do exactly what you want to do, without getting trapped in a “style.” You better hope to high heaven you even get that far, because in avoiding being trapped, in avoiding being typecast, you’re limiting yourself to the great unwashed bazillions that are thinking the same dang thing.
Sure, you’d like to get work from all over the industry. Comics, book covers, movie posters, children’s books, gaming, etc. First move: decide which one, maybe two, of these areas you really like the most. Do it now.
You already know down deep. C’mon. It’s burning a hole in your heart. And if you really can’t place it, you’d better take a long walk and get it figured out. Until you do, you’ll be all over the board. You’ll be scatter-brained. As will your work. As will any client that might want to use you. And this...this is BAD.
You cannot afford to confuse your potential client. They want to know exactly what they’ll get for using you. You must show them exactly what you do, and will do, for them.
Did you already choose your path or are you still trying to decide? And if you did, why?

very true and very sobering to read through that whole article because it made me realize that I've done shit all to actually work towards becoming employable as an artist. At some point, studying without a clear goal or direction becomes just procrastination.

I want to devote myself to art fully and make it a career but I'm too much of a pussy to try. I'm 25 and have nothing going for me and that drive to get some "real" job is always there. I tried learning web development but it's so fucking boring it's unreal.
My parents aren't pressuring me to leave but man... it feels like being here is just wrong. I don't even know if I'd want to be a studio artist or go freelance.

What experience do you have drawing? How much do you draw already? How good are you? These are things you should be asking yourself not a message board that says every pro artist is either a meme or trash.
>>
>>2759292
dude im 20 and i feel the same way. I plan on just getting a job and doing art on my free time.
my parents want me to get a job now, but im trying to get through a semester with good grades before heading back into the working world
whatever you decide to do, i wish you luck! life sucks and i pray a gentle femdom sugar momma will save us all
>>
>>2759297
I don't have much precisely because I can't make the push to study it.
I could probably devote about 5-7 hours a day on it. Is that enough to become a successful freelance artist if I study the right way?
>>2759305
Just wanna live a low-key life, man. I'm a nerd and wanna draw nerd things, and get paid for it enough to sustain me. I don't care for being rich or famous or any of that bullshit. Just want that comfy, quiet life.

It's.. not bad, but with all the resources we have in the sticky, the art book thread, the nma, Vandruff, Peter Han, Vilppu and Scott Robertson torrents, I'd call watching his vids a waste of time.

It would've been also nice if you answer my question

I want to get a tattoo but all the designs I see are ugly.
And I can't draw at all.
This is my idea:
>Want to get the dates of the concerts I will go and went in my life, the important ones.
>The design has to let space to add some more, already got two that will be there and maybe need space fot two more
Maybe could just get the name of the band and add th date on a side, with the name of the tour, but Idk if that is "doable".

At what age did you realize that you will never git gud at drawing unless you quit your job, and other responsibilities all so you can focus on improving? As a hobbyist you draw for fun, but there is always the desire to make your work look better than just mediocre.

Wow.
Did you just fell for the "going full-NEET mode to make your shit better" meme?
The main problem with this board is that everyone is an undisciplined faggot that wastes 99% of their "Study time" just to learn one thing.
You should instead make deliberate practice sessions that will not last more than 30 minutes.
If you are trying to learn something that needs more than three sessions, you're doing something too complex.
>>
Having no job is worse cause I can't get food which makes me depressed. Also can't afford art stuff.
What the other person said, deliberate 30 minutes or 1hr practice is better than "haha I'm gonna spend 10+ hours drawing" which never happens as a neet. Maybe your first week but it quickly vanishes and you're back to spending 5 hours shitposting.

You have done your first sketch. Good job. Now to become a mangaka, you'll have to do a ton more sketches. Read the sticky too, good stuff. If you got anymore questions, ask ahead.

Might wanna add a little detail on the wrist/the source of the blood since it kind of looks like a string of blood just stuck to the arm instead of coming out of it.
I like the Illuminati symbol, looks like it could be part of some art for a weird album cover.

why is 99.9% of everything on dA trash?
to find anything remotely good you have to search for it specifically, and god help you if you visit the front page
and even if it is good you rarely see an artist improve past their early stuff and/or it's furry/pony/d-rate weeaboo trash
I get everyone has to start somewhere, and I'm not exactly the next Miura, but goddamn it's like these people stagnate for 15 years
has anyone actually found good artists through the front page on there?

No barrier to entry.
