Any artists here sell at shows like Artist Alley know anything about credit card readers?
I'm trying to get a Square Up card reader but when registering, it asks for what type of business I do. There's nothing really related to doing art or illustration.
Anyone who's registered for a credit card reader, what kind of business did you put yourself down as??
These are the choices by the way
Illustration is a service. "Professional Service" is what it falls under.

Ok so I selected Professional Service, but now I have to select what type of business that falls under that.
These are the options.

Do you know anyone that draws for DC comics/Marvel?
How did they get there?
Go watch TheBoxOfficeArtist on youtube. He has some vids about how he made it, and he’s brutally honest about how hard it is. No "art is about having fun" bullshit with him
I know a couple, actually.
I got taught by one in my first year of university.
He's 24, I think.
It's all about contacts.

Nice,i'll check it out,thanks
Ok just a second...
that will be $164.6 million sir
>>2730569
That piece and artist are more innovative and have more character than you will ever have.
>>2730569
>$164.6 million
Money spend =/= quality of the piece anon.

I fucking love you man
I have trouble learning from books and I get easily bored etc.
What other methods would you recommend me for learning to draw?
Draw from life, practice being more patient, post questions in the question thread.
>>2735160
>from life
You mean like literally from life (sketching while being outside) or just photos with real stuff
>>2735157
There are tonnes pf video lectures out there, try them, especially if you're a visual learner.
Does this look like tracing?
Is tracing inherently bad?
>>2743003
It's a really generic pose.
And yes.
Why wouldn't she trace the skirt edge too if she did trace? The one she drew is a horrible flat mop.
This is referenced from the other picture, but not traced.
>>2743013
Same with the hands.
She could've made it look like she knew how to draw hands or skirts by tracking but didn't.
Why aren't we getting better just by looking at books, pictures and that shit
I fucking hate drawing, I'd rather just read a theory about it so I can get at it without all that unnecessary crap

whos choice was it
>>2740914
You chose this path. You knew where it would end. Suck it up.
>be artist
>be actually successful
>have lots of friends
>travel the world
>people come from everywhere to meet me and commission works from me
>never lonely unless suicidal or depressed
I don't know anon maybe you need to get better, do you think this painting by an artist depicting all his friends was made by a neet.
Is drawing porn (hentai and erotic comix) or fan-art the only way to success as a digital artist and make some of money?
>>2737374
It's actually a dead end that will prevent you from ever having any sort of career.
>>2737380
sounds bad...
It's the easiest way, sure.
Looking for more sketches with this style,please drop.also consider it a challenge to draw yourself with this style... currently I'm trying to make one.

Should I do Game Art at university? I'm not sure they teach anything you can't learn for free at home, but I'm feeling the pressure to "do something" with my life.
Anyone doing similar courses?
I want to major in something normal and minor in illustration or painting. I think there's a game dev club, too so I can get experience there. However, this is the most ideal since there are the obstacles of financial burden and my shitty time management. Other than that, that's my ideal.
>>2742778
The whole teach yourself at home meme doesn't include other costs such as what you give up by going to school. You give up the time to have a job. By having a job, you give up the time to learn. Just do it and stop holding yourself back for some stupid reason. The more time you put in, the better you'll be.

Giving an amatuer painting a tacky finish just makes it amatuer and tacky. Congrats? What, you want me to find meaning in her blank expression where there is none? Fuck off.
>>2740700
Oh so much hate in your tiny email!
What, you think labeling it as "amateurish" and "tacky" makes it amateurish and tacky?
Nope. It's a good painting, imo
