Rekt op

I didn't mean to make it seem like that I wanted you guys to do all the work. I just want some feedback on what I should be doing with this.

last bump, can anyone help?

Have solid fundamentals, then copy his drawings. Ic/'s stuck on the first one.

>>2719931

Copying their drawings is step one but that's a pretty simplistic answer, anon, especially when you pair it with a cynical jab at everyone else.
It's not that useful unless you try to apply it.

You copy to understand it, deconstruct the elements and choices that make that style that style, but the key is applying the style to new subjects. IE taking a photo and drawing it "in that style", or doing drawings from imagination "in that style". If you're not thinking critically you're just copying lines.

>>2719935

What do you mean by 'thinking critically'?
I mean, what do you look for when you think about a style?

I'm starting Patreon porn, and I know from the get go it's temporary cash. But it's the cash I needed to fund something more profitable.

>>2714953
If you're throwing all your eggs into one basket (porn) you're already fucking up. Porn is a phase. Nothing wrong with it, but it should never be your endgame.

Problem with porn artists is the same as with pornstars - they don't realize that after a while they will be doing extreme stuff to just get a little bit of past money and attention and then eventually they will be forgotten like countless before them.

Solution: never make yourself a whore

No, you'll just be able to draw with your left hand.

>>2719661
Oh.

Will it take twice as long learning how to draw with both hands?

>>2719668
probably not. A lot (not all) of drawing is done with the head, not the hands. So once you know what to do, and only need your dexterity to match that, it should go faster

>First off, the pressure feature seems kind of fiddly. Is it a bad idea to just turn it off and ignore it this early on?
Most people use pen pressure for opacity. You can leave it off for size change. Painting without opacity is possible and some people do it, but it would likely make things harder for you as a beginner. Leave opacity set to 100% and have it set for pen pressure just to get used to painting, then later you can modify things slightly.

> Is this kind of wear unavoidable?
I've had my tablet 7ish years and it's worn the surface a bit but it's just superficial. There's no deep gouges or anything and it feels smooth to the touch so it doesn't matter.

>Lastly, how long does a wacom pen nib last?
It seems to vary from person to person depending how heavy handed you are. I've only changed it once in 7 years, but I've heard of other people needing to change it every few months because I guess they grind the nib into the surface really hard. Just so you know, the stylus holder thing that came with it you can unscrew it and there's replacement nibs in there.

7 years for 2 nibs? That's more than reasonable. I'll try not to go hulk on it.

2 years until you're decent, 5 until you're gud, and from what i've seen you can become hireable after about 3 if you work your fucking ass off.

>>2719655
It depends really on their natural aptitude and if they'd already studied anything that lends itself to the subject such as anatomy. Some people will pick it up right away some people will never really get there.

The common answer is 10 000 hours of concentrated regular training. So a few years.

Obviously depends on the individuals visual perception, retention, direction and pattern recognition. 10 000 hours of idle cartooning will not net the same results as 10 000 hours as working from refs and accomplished artists.

There are no bad questions, but this is all in the sticky.

you're gonna injure yourself for leaning like that so much.

Giano shill please.

It's all sham and mirrors and how you market yourself, always put the doubt away. Also rotate and resize your photos asshole, who do you think you are? Can't you postprocess it? Where is your sense of aesthetics? Fucking poser.

Yo, that picture is better than anything ive ever done.
Also, just tell her what you just explained there. If she's teaching a class about it, I doubt you'll be the first one to have told her that. Everyone has tried to emulate their favorite drawing style, and im sure she realizes that. Just give your best effort in class to learn what she's trying to teach and she'll give you the same respect as any other student. If she doesn't, that's a flaw in her character, not yours.

>>2719733
Second this.

some pointers for that skull if ur still working on it. Firstly the jaw is a little narrow, you need more contrast in your lights and darks, make sure when shading you're also establishing shape so it looks 3d, other than that i dont see too many problems with it. also are u working from a real skull or images. also i advise that you feel your own face for bone structure etc, not for solid reference but it can guide you in the right direction and i find it can help.

what a coincidence op, I, too, wish learn more about color.

Reproduce pictures and note how color behaves. That's about it.

Ideally, you'd want to read your resources to get the theory down so you know what to look for, but most of your studying should be happening on the canvas. So go ahead and study other people's work. Go ahead and paint still lives, scenery, models, and such while noting how the color in each scenario behaves. Note the lighting conditions, the relationship between each color and how their placement allows you, and subsequently the viewer, to discern contours, detail, texture, volume, and so on. Then apply what you figure out until it works.

There are some rules of thumb regarding color, such as darks tending to be cool and lights tending to be warm, but this isn't much of an absolute, and adhering to them will end up limiting you.

OP here
I've already seen it.
I love how he's 30, and his art isn't even close to where it should be.

It's a great mistake to learn from.
