level 1: not knowing you're a hack / thinking you're good
level 2: knowing you're a hack
level 3: knowing everyone else is a hack, too
level 4: enlightenment: even though we are all hacking it that doesn't preclude the fact that we can be good (at hacking), and constant improvement is a possibility no matter what

It's really tricky finding that balance, anon.

It's always best to work up to anything, rather than taking on complex things from the get-go.

Not spending too much time in your comfort zone, but also not doing something that you're just not ready for, yeah, that's hard. I'd recommend biting the bullet for this one project, and trying your best to learn from it. Yeah, it's probably going to suck, but the experience will help you on the long run.

you will learn more from failing at these than you will doing anything else.

seeking specific answers for questions that arise from failure will make the pdfs a lot more useful,
but ultimately it's learning from failure itself that will make you better.

improvement is a marathon, not a race. being discouraged is equivalent to slowing down, not stopping.

you don't know what art is

I just judged your spelling.

I've done quite a bit of painting on the ipad with procreate this summer with a cheap five dollar stylus with no pressure sensitivity. It has been a real eye opener and really makes you think before making a mark.

I also sometimes draw without pressure sensitivty in photoshop when doing gestural stuff and laying in a figure. It can be more direct that way.

>>2661948
I used to use pressure sensitivity religiously, but in the last year I've re learned the value of turning it off every now and then. I usually have transfer on (which uses pressure to determine how opaque the stroke is) but it's absolutely not necessary to have shape dynamics pressure sensitivity on all the time.

>>2661948
i pretty much only use pressure for size/flow jitter now, much easier on the wrist.

it definitely forces you to be more decisive with your brush strokes

Youtube is your friend

Rhode Island School of Design

Only worth it if you are retired. As a young man looking for money it's dogshit tier. At best, 1/20 students will be able to sell some of their work for money and it WON'T be because they were more skilled than their peers.

>>2662716
This basically.
Yale
etc.

Whatever has the most prestigious name, pretty much all big league MFA (and even BFA) programs these days are all about post-modern/installation/performance/non-objective art. If you're serious about it just look at the work of current students and professors on school websites.

Also if you want to make modern art you're like 75 years too late.

How about giving us a link to some?

anonymous snappy comments from people who probaly dont know shit themselve

>>2662431
You started learning without an objective?

>>2662431
You're either lying or you have some kind of mental disability.

Increase your general knowledge not just drawing knowledge. If you want to design a cool outfit for example it helps if you know about the history of fashion, why people wear certain types of clothes for situations, how clothes are made etc.

>>2661319
There is a difference between something that is glaringly wrong and the intentional portrayal of odd features. We can always tell.

>>2661319
It's very easy to tell when an artist intentionally choses weird or unusual anatomical features and proportions or when he just didn't know how to draw it properly and just uses this argument as excuse for his lack of skill and knowledge.

Like, when you drew a character that people told you has arms that look broken, you never consciously decided "I'm gonna draw this girl that has double-jointed arms, which can look broken at times because that's an important aspect of her character design.", You only decided to look for excuses for her broken looking arms AFTER it has been pointed out to you.

Yeah right, there's a world of difference between anatomy books and real life where people don't stand about like stiffs in a coffin, that's why life drawing is so important (though something rarely done by most d/icks/).

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

not good
just keep at it though and work on your fundamentals

This guy can help you out

>>2660663
u cereal?

Yes.

Gumroad, and Gnomon, and a couple others are great. I think Concept Art has a place where they advertize these. Also, check out Cubebrush, a few pros post lessons there.

>>2662413
Thanks. Already checked out Gnomon, but it looks like their courses cost a shit ton of diamonds.

Just torrent them nigger

Good thinking. Alternatives I can think of: sending stages of the file (sketch, inking, colouring, ...) and getting paid a slice for each stage; sending a resized (small) version of the file; sending it as .jpeg (or with obvious artifacts; and just finding more trustworthy clientele.

>>2662233
I just send small jpgs, but I've only worked with companies and not individuals so I always have a contract and they always pay (though sometimes late). When working with companies you often need to wait a while before you get paid, like it often is set up so you get paid 30 or 60 days after approval of finals, rarely it is even longer than that. So you have to give them the full files before you see any money but you have it in writing as a legal document so it's pretty safe.

Sending a photo of a screen comes across as kind of retarded imo. Just sent a small jpg, or if you are worried you can put a big "WIP" written overtop it as a giant watermark or something, but that's really tacky.

Degrees are useless. Portfolios are invaluable.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, cares about your art degree. You will NEVER be asked to show your degree.

Do you have a good portfolio? If so then yes. If not then no.

>>2662193
>Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, cares about your art degree. You will NEVER be asked to show your degree.
For freelance this is true. But for full-time positions sometimes they need them, especially if it is a teaching position or requires you moving and getting a visa. Source: I once didn't get a position in another country because I couldn't get the work visa without a degree, and I didn't have enough years experience at that point to act in lieu of one.

>>2661947
All I see is whining about how slow you're improving when you have a full time job and study. You're most likely not going to improve at the same rate as someone's who's NEET starting to learn how to draw at the same time as you. Until you free up your time this is an inevitability, but not necessarily a reason to drop it (unless you're weak).
