I've been trying to draw seriously for about 2 years, but I feel like I haven't progressed much at all. If not even Loomis - Fun With Pencil could save me, does that mean I just have no talent?

Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make your mom proud.

AVOID asking unrelated questions, there is a question thread for that.

RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:

#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead (also images shouldn't come out accidentally sideways with this method)

#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller

#3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

There's a new sticky in town! You can see it at:

>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.

TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

I see many posts here about art school or college but most known artists these days dont seem to be established with a fanbase until 30's or 40's or even later, why should it matter?
Is this a cultural thing/brainwashing thing where we 'have to have it all' in our 20's??

Is it true what i read that there is no real 'age' limit on becoming a professional artist?
Personally I am 32, never went to art school etc, do all my own study and am self taught, sure I am not yet published or selling anything and I sometimes get paranoid about 'age/numbers', or if i see someone younger getting into the game before me.

Opinion?

Anybody feel like fulfilling a fairly simple draw request? Well, I say simple for you guys, not so much for me. I do realize that it is against the board rules to request 'free' art, so perhaps there is someway I can scratch your back in payment?

I want this for a t-shirt print that has significance for a friend of mine.

The concept is a bird (can be a simple bird of your choice but if the inspiration takes you, then an Eagle, but not a bald eagle, would be most preferable), flying away from a bird cage with its cage door swung open, and the bird has a 4 leaf clover in its mouth. The bird can have a neutral look on its face or a happy look, your choice.

If i'm asking too much and no one is keen then I guess the next step is finding someone who might do this for a commission. Keep in mind I have to buy a t-shirt and pay to get it printed and then pay for international postage to my friend so I want to keep costs low. If this isnt the right place for such a request, where do you recommend I take my request?

I've been doing traditional figure sculpting for about a year now and even though I'm not good enough yet, I've been thinking about where I could take this once I git gud. As far as I know, there's nobody doing this (successfully) on Patreon and I wonder if doing flavor of the month anime/video game characters can net me a following. The issue is that I don't see why would anyone give me money for it, and I can't really offer people anything besides pictures of the sculpts and making of/tutorial videos. It's not like 3d sculpting or illustrations where people can have their own copy of the work because traditional is not scale-able outside of actually selling copies of the sculpts.

I know there's this guy that seems to be doing pretty well but he's 3d https://www.patreon.com/leslyzerosix, and he also does some nsfw stuff, which is more work for traditional and I don't want to go out of my way to do it and have people calling me out for it.

Thoughts?

Ok, let's try and settle this once and for all:
What do you need to do to remain anonymous with paypal?

From what I gather from browsing their (and other) forums, the client will always be sent your name without a business account, even if you delete your name from the invoice.

What I'd like is for people with paypal experience to confirm this one way or the other.
I don't need conjecture and assumptions, does anyone actually KNOW how it works?

If the above is true, what are the requirements for operating a business account?
I've seen people saying you do/don't need a legit registered business, that your account will get permanently limited or worse if the name on your bank account is not the same as your business name, etc. etc.

I'm an artist that changes mediums alot, but one of things I'm very fond of doing is stencil work. I take alot of time and care to cut each layer and there's something I really like about the boldness, crispness and simplicity of a stencil on canvas piece. I know that most people see it as 'easy' but some of the muti-layered pieces (3-5 layers) take alot of planning, hours or days to cut and I do it all by hand. It's something that can be duplicated multiple times, but I make a point of never using a stencil the same way twice. I've cut tons of stencils and made dozens of canvas pieces, but I tend to pack them away when I'm done with them. Recently I've decided that I'd like to try to sell some of the work online, but have NO idea how to price my own work.
It would make me happy to know that I've made something that others like enough to put up on their walls to ad to the atmosphere of it's surroundings, but I don't want to oversell, preventing that from happening, or undersell and loose out on what I could be earning for my work.
Can anyone give some advice of how do decide on not only a fair price for myself as the creator, but to the customer as well?

Sorry if this thread is unnecessary, but I feel that my biggest weakness is my poor ass anatomy. I am totally inept at drawing males and it's a huge embarrassing point.

Post reference pics, studies, videos, photos to study from, discuss the proper way to study anatomy, etc etc.
