>Am I retarded by any chance?
Probably, since from what you described you just watched tutorials instead of actually practicing.

>>2735340
I practiced too but even after all of this I still cant do jack shit

>>2735343
How often did you practice? What did you practice? I had. This issue where I thought I new some of the basics and ended up practicing something that was too advanced for me for like 3 months. I ended up seeing more progress in 2 weeks after practicing basic perspective then I did in those 3 months even though I was drawing the same amount. Maybe your tackling something too advanced without having a good enough base?

Post work and you'll get more specific advice.

Get a set of different sized (but probably fairly small) brushes and a bottle of india ink. Copy out some images you like to get an idea of how to control the line weight, then try it on your own.

It's caused more me both more good and more harm than any other single thing in my life.

Made me depressed at the fact that I draw something only to realize it looks like shit. Study fundies and continue to draw, looks okay, next day looks like utter crap and wonder how that was passable in my eyes yesterday. I get frustrated more easily now, and feel like going nowhere in general cause I hate going to university as well.

I've learned how terrible other people are because they don't care about you if you pursue art. If it was STEM, oh boy, you must be amazing!

i believe i made this when I was 19

Why not both?

>>2734014

Do both. Color studies are important and unfortunately neglected.

Also some concepts are more visible without and some with color (contrast, highlights, light affecting things etc.)

>>2734014

It depends on how much of a beginner you are

If you can't make basic shapes from various angles, stick to B&W

If you have some measure of spatial ability, B&W value practicing is a spook and you should work in full color

You learn very quickly to recognize values when working in color and you need all the full color practice you can get your hands on

There's this doc on netflix about him, I think it's called "The kingdom of dreams and madness" and I really enjoyed it. It was cool to see what he was really like, dude was pretty chill but intense at the same time, has mad work ethic and is way more nihilistic (I think that's the word) than I thought he'd be. It kinda chronicles the creation of "The wind rises" but that's more of a background thing, the main focus just became Miyazaki and his outlook on life/work I think. Definitely give it a watch.

I have already watched, though it didn't satisfied me. He don't speak much about his opinions and his life in general.
For example, one thing i am really curious about is his relationship with his son Goro. He looks very cold and absent and i find that dissonant with his work. I am also interested in his thoughts about art, it's purpose and why he thinks some people shouldn't pursue it.

>>2733011
It's pretty well known that Goro and Hayao don't exactly get along, and for a while Goro resented him.

There are also stories of him bullying people that work under him. I remember hearing a story of an intern who wasn't doing to well, and instead of just firing her, he would simply approach her and ask her "What are you still doing here?" under his breath.

>Honestly speaking, what percentage of people who come to this board, read the sticky and consistently practice actually "make it"?
Probably less than 1%, though it's hard to estimate exactly, and maybe a greater percentage will make it if you give them another 5 or 10 years, but they're not there yet.

As far as I know the only pros who come here already were pros beforehand, so didn't learn from the sticky.

>Does it also depend on their chosen field/practice?
It would depend on how much time they have available to practice and whether they are interested in art as a hobby or as a career.

most people here have already made it. it's a lot of fun for pros to be little others who know less.

im not one of them even though ive been here for a year

your idea of good art is drawing people. their idea of art is more and less boring. both are creative self expressions so it counts as art.

>>2734810
it can be an excuse for people who suck at art, but some of it requires a lot of skill. some of it. not all of it.

Photoshop probably. The softwares that specifically try to emulate traditional brush strokes usually end up producing rather fake and artificial looking end results.

The best digital results that I've seen are usually done in photoshop where the artist emulates the media through his understanding of edge control and brushwork and doesn't rely on gimmicky brush engines. Obviously you'd want some decent custom brushes though.

I drew this.

>>2734400
I used to paint constantly for around 3-6 hours straight

Now Ive become more patient and paint 2 hours a day. I work with oils so I now only do certain parts and wait for it to dry etc etc

Right? That putty reaction kills me. Took me a while to realize my body just wanted a break. That's when I also realized my body isn't me, but another entity.

looks like total garbage

>the drawings in the cover look like crap
>Would you recommend it?
no.

>>2734394
Just pirate "Drawing realistic textures in pencil" and learn how to use grids.
