Is there anything i could add to my style of drawing characters to make it somehow better?
More detail or features is what I'm looking for but anything else is also accepted.

But first you need to learn arabic, japanese, chinese ... But arabic calligraphy is the most beautiful thing I've seen.
Heard arab artists are using this calligraphy to actually dodge some kind of islamic rule that prohibit drawings of living things.
Why do 9/10 digitally painted landscapes look like this? Everything is dark as shit. I see these landscape paintings all over artstation. And they all have these saturated green hills and black shadows. What the actual fuck. Do they ever go outside?

>Do they ever go outside?
Their entire knowledge of the outside comes from Feng Zhu tutorials.

there must be a massive flying city or something looming over beyond the image

What to do when you love complex paintings but you only feel good doing loose sketches?
>>2682043
you're lazy.
>>2682043
do lots of small sketches and compile them into a large painting
that's what a complex painting is
also
>feel good
it sucks and is very difficult
just push trough it until you're done
>>2682043

If you had any chance to meet with your 20 years old self, what would you tell?
>Masturbate AFTER drawing.
>Actually draw using references.
>Make tons of studies.
>Draw moar.
>Draw moar.
>Draw no matter what. Draw a fucking lot.
>Masturbate AFTER drawing.
aren't you supposed to masturbate before drawing so you can look at your own porn more objectively?
-Stop browsing imageboards
-Draw instead
That's all.

Let's talk about hosting websites like Redbubble, Etsy, Society6 and so on.
Has anyone here sold their art on these platforms? How were your experiences?
General opinions welcome too.
These aren't "hosting" sites - they are Print-On-Demand sites. I don't know why you included Etsy in this group, as it's a different thing entirely.
Used to pull in around $800/mo collectively from multiple PoD sites, doing basically nothing and making on-site sales. I've seen these sales have dropped every year, as the search algorithms change and the way artists are featured changes. I'm now pulling in around $350/mo if I'm lucky. Redbubble used to be the most noobie-friendly with how they featured new artists, but I don't think that happens very often.
The two ways to make money on these sites are to
1. Play the patience game and wait years until your work creeps its way onto the "popular" pages.
2. Develop a large and engaged audience for your work, and point them to your sites
Both ways are incredibly difficult. If you're going to go with #2, I recommend using a Threadless Artist Shop - they have the highest margins by far.
Where is everyone from? Draw your flag.
Nice US flag ripoff

What do I have to do to draw like kim jung gi? What should you prioritize first? Even if it'll never be at his level.
Shit loads of boxes? Millions of perspective exercises? Photographic memory?
yes boxes. learn the box , learn how to draw a cat , learn how to draw anatomy, and learn to visualize the boxes before you even draw and be able to break them down in your head.

draw everything interests you, from every interesting angle, but do so without looking back and fort at your refs, you want to train your memory too. Look one or twice, then draw it a few times, then look again at it and see what you did wrong, then draw it again a few times and so on
>>2677415
also learn the difference between gesture drawing and figure drawing
you want to do both to git gud
Felt like this numerous times..
he should diet, and exercise. not cry, and super size

A lot of the best artists are fat. It's a sedentary job it might happen to you too anon.
But this is /ic/ not /fit/ if you wanna be a faggot go to the latter.
>>2681500
who cares?
it's not your body, if he doesn't care about his health, that's his problem.
Why is being nice and polite here such a crime ?
>>2673550
because no one here deserves any lick of kindness
>>2673550
Because you are shit, OP.
Now go back reading the sticky.
