>tfw you put in work over the course of years and are now making professional work
>tfw you still feel empty inside
>tfw your skill level brings no happiness or fulfillment

Watch Alan Watts vids on YouTube. You have to let go and stop striving and just be. Trying to be something is like trying to calm a pool with a rake, i.e., it doesn't work. You are destined to an unfulfilled life if you can't learn to just be. Good luck, brah. We're all gonna make it.

>>2549256
Hey thanks for the suggestion, only saw it now or I would have responded sooner. Which vids of his do you recommend? Seems there are a lot of talks he gave on different topics and a lot of them are quite long.

Oh my god- is that a genuine Boopsy?

I'm reading Fun With a Pencil right now.
It hasn't helped me at all, I still can't draw worth shit.

depends on you.

i really enjoy drawing people, so studying technical advice on posing and anatomy is interesting for me.

i have no interest in drawing buildings and vehicles, so studying technical advice on architecture and assembly makes me feel like i'm dying. i still DO it, but i'm way better at people because i get more out of it and i do it more.

if you start learning to draw, you're going to find some subjects more fun than others.

Keep doing it until your images look like the ones in the book, and you understand more

depends on what kind of art you make, really.
But mostly Behance.

These are from my sticky notes:
Posting work - pixiv
Devintart nah
Behance
Artstation
Instegram maybe
Artwanted perhaps
Artician

I'm considering to have an acc on Artstation.
DA is good for highlighting your work in groups, but it's full of kids.
Tumblr is good for sharing your work, so as facebook - you get followers.

But your work might end up into some fucked up Visual Novel or worse, Specially if you're a enviro - interior artist. Just put your watermarks and hope for the best.

Yes, I lose my shit also. What if someone can monetize my work selling t-shirts and I've never seen monetization potential at all in what I do.

looks like a clapping potato with no eyes saying wow over and over

I love potatoes. Thanks for your criticism I will try to improve.

finally fix the sticky we were trying to fix months ago, and replace the piece of shit that's currently being stickied

>All of us complain about how slow this board is compared to other boards, how bad and toxic this board is compared to other boards (apparently including /b/ which surprised me) and how unproductive this board is compared to EVERWHERE ELSE ON AND OFF THE FUCKING INTERNET.
In all my entire stay, I have never heard a thing like this.

Is this some weird bait?

>>2546246
It's always been a toxic board and has always been slow. It's faster now than it has been in the past few years though.

As long as it isn't being overwhelmed with spam posts like a ton of sakimi threads or whatever then the board is about the same as it always has been except there is a shift towards more anime and porn now than before. All the pros who contributed here have either been chased off entirely or have given up on putting any effort into improving the board, but again, this has been the case for a while now.

Do whatever you want to do!

I want to improve tough. What would the hodges do?

I feel like that book is too pseudo-science bullshit to be of any significant help. Just read the loomis books.

>no remarkable scenery or people

I call that bullshit, you lack curiosity. Why should it be remarkable? Life isn't remarkable by any means.
I dont know where you live, but even the smallest and dullest places have interesting things happening. Go outside and leave your car behind. Forget mountains or monumental buildings, go talk to that old butcher or something.

>>2543494

This.
I must admit that i used to be like OP.
And sooner or later you find what stands behind the word "curiosity".

And that curiosity implies in EVERY aspect of live, every field, not just art.

>>2550365 (OP)

DROGA means drug ofc

Terrible lines. Learn to draw before doing cartoons.

>>2550375

Just because your parents are paying doesn't mean it's free. Save it until you're 22 at the earliest.

>let me teach you how to make "art"

Never understood the people that can't learn to draw by themselves, it's fucking trial and error

>Oh my lines are shit

>I will draw a human
