I don't know what happened, but for the past two or so years I really stayed away from drawing or painting figures. I can't explain it, but-it was like it was too intimate, and too personal, and everything else was more comfortable. Chairs? Cool. Plants? Great. Objects from imagination? Awesome. People? Eeugghh. People are too personal. Too easily objectify-able(nice study-LOOK A TIDDY. TIDDY!).
Has anyone else gotten this feeling? Or am I just being an idiot?
>>2684753
just you
>>2684753
You won't be able to draw people if you don't draw people.
if you can get yourself to draw good people, everything else in your art will get better, I promise.
Does anyone else feel artisically lost?
i know i need to get better, but i feel kinda numb with teh same old same old
I think i could use a routine but i wouldn't know where to start
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?
If that pic is yours, try loomis and pretty much everything in the sticky.

Proportion and perspective are not a 2D thing, it's a 3D thing

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

Are there any resources/websites for getting random movie stills? Something like pixelovely or sketchdaily, but rather than figures it's movie stills?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11530863/iPad-neck-Huge-rise-in-back-and-neck-pain-among-youth.html
>The number of young people seeking help for back or neck pain has risen 60 per cent in the past year, driven by sedentary lifestyles and the use of technology
http://comicsalliance.com/artists-drawing-injuries/
>Being a comic book artist is a physically taxing job. Long hours sitting at the literal drawing board (whether drawing on paper or digitally) can strain muscles in the back, neck, and shoulders; repetitive motions inflame tendons in the arms. Combine this demanding work with the life of a freelancer, which, in the United States, does not come with any form of health care, and you’ll realize that many comics artists are living one injury away from economic disaster. An injury will not only cost money to treat, it will also cost time as it heals — time that could be spent drawing — resulting in lost income.
>This is a reality I’ve heard from many comics artists of my acquaintance: Drawing hurts. From general soreness to serious repetitive stress injuries that cause permanent damage, pain always eventually accompanies art.
>“Chronic muscle pains, knots, tightness, in my back, shoulders, chest and neck.” This is the catalog of pains related by Jamie McKelvie that he attributes to drawing professionally. “For years my set-up was bad and my posture poor, and drawing comics require very long hours, so even though I’ve been taking measures to address it, it’s a very slow process to try to free myself from pain.”

I want to draw while being /fit/ as fuck like Steve Huston, what should my daily routine be?
ss+gomad+loomis and start with the greeks to finish the meme trilogy
>>2680766
Start drawing with weighted pencils

I also recommend using a bench and a cage as an easel, that way you can do a set of bench presses between each set of Gesture drawings, then maybe some squats between each complete figure drawing.

Bought it.
Everybody download and then upload to CGPeers.
Also, if you save the vimeo urls, do they become obsolete in time?
JD doesn't work, although they use Vimeo. FVD saves lower quality than youtube, any alternatives?
>>2668159
Yes, everybody download and take time out of your day to upload to CG peers like the good little twinky cuck boys you are. Make sure to spread the link around so that NMA gets that much closer to going out of business and your third world replacements get that much more free material to help them improve. Don't forget to donate to CG peers, too. They're the ones doing all of the hard work of moderating the forums and hosting those 3kb torrent files after all. Fuck Vilppu, Huston, Borenstein, Bustos and all those other faggots. If they wanted to get paid for what they do they shouldn't have gotten into art.
Holy shit is Hogarth based. Dynamic Anatomy is worth it just for the diss on post-impressionism alone.
>>2684564
>Dynamic Anatomy
Literally what
>>2684564
oh yeah, I've always wanted my drawings to look like inflated blobs of goo with arms moving independently of the torso. So dynamic.
