Advice I would give to your current self:
>Reread Michael Hampton's and Vilppu drawing Manual.
>>
>>2711059
You should come back in a few years when you are actually good at this shit. Your ego is bigger than your skills and all of that advice is dumb.
>>
Draw for longer periods fagget
>>
>>2711059
Stop whining and draw.
>>
don't be afraid to post work because it's better than 99.31% of /ic/
>>
>Just drop out of school and focus on your art instead, you'll still fuck up despite worrying 24/7
>>
>>2711128
Post your work.
>>
>>2711128
Now you have to post it. Let's see it, hotshot.
>>
>>2711105
i thought this was some pretty solid advice. why do you say it's dumb?
>>2711114
this.
>>
if you want to make great art, your art must have purpose
>>
Smh lad you're going to be an artist baka 2bh, but you need direction because you still haven't decided your destiny. Look up Feng Zhu and start listening to level up when the series starts. You can be an artist without starving and you never end up starving. That grill you're interested in will just waste your time kek, ditch her and attack art from all sides, be relentless until you can do it. Believe in yourself, if you believe in yourself, no one else needs to. You're a bit of a rendering machine, learn basic forms and drill them each day then properly learn values. Things aren't as easy as you think they are, especially art, it's a mental struggle and you need to put in thousands of hours to get good, but you can do it. Your friends aren't real friends, they all wind up getting swallowed by drugs so stop being around them, they're trouble, never do drugs, ever. Your true friends are the people that have the same interest as you. You go about one week friendless then you make lots of amazing and talented artist friends, but you need to reach out first. Oh and it's okay to not like going out, this is normal for artists.

Draw from imagination - yes of course it looks worse you fucking faggot, it's because you never do it. What are you retarded? Fuck you. Fucking kill yourself, you piece of shit.

Oh and stop browsing /ic/.

>Not answering a simple question

Summer never ends on /ic/.
>>
Draw from your heart ^_^
>>
>>2711059
Fuck other people, you won't be seeing them anyways nor do they matter too much. Just draw even if the weirdos are the only ones doing it. It's worth it. You'll have made it and won't live a life of suffering because you aren't good at anything.

Although, I have to admit, it would be pretty farfetched even for noob me to find all the resources without /ic/.
>>
>>2711059
everyone had their own method. take what clicks for you and toss the rest.

>work zoomed out most of the time with a big brush when painting
>in case of doubt, simplify
>drawing from life/reference and drawing from imagination are separate skill sets, practice both
>two main approaches to life drawing - the visual atelier approach and the analytical Vilppu construction approach, study both
>you'll eventually learn that there is no conflict and all methods have overlap and reinforce each other
>use the pomodoro method to get your ADD ass in gear
>draw a lot, mileage is king
>>
>>2711059
obvious noob
