>>2739091
Same, I only started a year ago, have patience brother

>>2739097
post your work

THEN GO FUCKING PRACTICE.

>22 and still uses memes.

>>2739125
fug. What's the age cut off for using memes?

>>2739091
go look at algenpfleger's work. he started at 19 and at 22 was bretty good. so you're looking at 25 being the age where you'll feel it.

>>2739156
depends how slow you develop. Hopefully around 19, maybe 20 but that might be pushing it.

>>2739161
I started when I was 19. I'm 25 now and I'm fucking good at painting.

>in before post work

>>2739161

What's your skill level?
Mind sending me some of your work, how dedicated you are, and what age you are?

Not going creeper on you, just wondering what the time/effort scale go like. " in 9 hours

>>2739091
well at least it´s more mature to pick this shit up than say videogames. art & gym = godtier

>>2739091
I'm 22 and still a beginner

I'm 25 and literally started drawing two weeks ago

>>2739286
>he thinks I have an instgram
Do I look like a wannabe female model?

>>2739091
What a fucking coincidence buddy. I'm also 22 and I started getting serious with art 4 months ago.

>>2739091
Then keep drawing, soon you won't be

27, have been drawing for ten years and still not a full pro
end my misery, please

>>2739365
>ten years and still not a full pro
>full pro
Does this mean you are getting some work but not enough to fully support yourself?

>>2739365
post your progress

>>2739315
Skill level beginner. I'm 24 now. Started art as a hobby in late 2014 and in early 2016 I decided to persue art as a career. Since my job didn't gave me enough spare time to practice, I switched to working part time. I practice 4-6 hours on workdays and 8-12 hours on free days. I'm dedicated. Probably could do more, but I don't want to cut social activities or burn out.

I won't post work. This is /ic/.

But age really doesn't matter. If you want to do it, do it. Most art students are in their 20s, so don't worry about that. And even if you where 30 - it's not that unusual. Even if you start working by 40 you still have half a lifetime to make a living with art and become a master at your craft.

I'm seriously baka when I read people feel "too old to draw" in their early 20s. This is just an excuse for not trying.

>>2739378
>I'm seriously baka when I read people feel
God damn it, someone put people like this out of their misery. 24 year old and speaks like that.

>>2739378

>>2739091

>>2739823

>>2739091
I started when I was 21. I was scared of starting something new at that age because i thought i was too old, now all I want to do is get better, and the only way to do that is to just work your ass off. Age is just a number anon.

>>2739844
Blog? Are you living off art yet?

>>2739846
no blog. I was freelancing for a bit in 2014 but I felt that I couldnt work on projects and juggle studies at the same time so I stopped freelancing to focus fully on studying at the end of 2014. Right now I have some connections that will hopefully land me a studio position very soon.

>>2739844
It's actually a downgrade, unless you still do realism

>>2739852
The realism stuff in my early years were just studies, I still do realistic studies but thats all they are, studies. As for my later work, this is stuff ive done for clients and for myself to put in my portfolio. Stylization does not mean a design is necessarily bad

>>2739852
You're an idiot. His new work is way better than the old stuff.

>>2739862
stylization is for people who cant draw
>>2739865
you cant even compare those, you fucking cretin

>>2739866
>stylization is for people who cant draw
2/10, made me reply

>>2739844
You were 21 in 2011? You're ~26 now?

>>2739872
yah im old, we dont have any art schools where I live so i feel like if i did go to an actual school, id have a studio job by now

>>2739871
yeah, because you certainlyu have to know anatomy, perspective or anything like that to do stylized shit

fuck off to deviantart or whatever shithole you came from

>>2739874
Were you following books/youtube tuts and stuff when you started? When'd you come across /ic/ and did it affect how you learned? You should get a blog some time.

>>2739877
Books and youtube videos were the foundation of my education, Andrew loomis books are invaluable, James gurneys color and light, imaginitive realism. Scott robertson videos, countless gumroad videos. etc. Alot of the money I made freelancing went into books, my cintiq, stretch books, copic markers etc.

I came across /ic/ a while ago, always as a browser though. This is my first time ever posting in any thread, in terms of learning, it didnt really affect my learning in any substantial way.

>>2739875
You do if you want it to be decent

>>2739883
Nice, you gonna make it.

>>2739890
Thanks anon.

>>2739883

spoken like a true shitter
there's beginner drawing anime and not knowing how to stylize AND THEN there is professionals who stylize because they like it and know how to do it effectively
