I'm all for digital, but going purely on a cost analysis it's a retarded argument. It would take fucking years for your 'pencil and paper' subscription to outcost an adequate tablet. And that's not including the potential of having to repair or replace your tablet / PC when one or the other breaks after a few years.

So let's say you get yourself an Intuos Draw for $80 and a budget PC for $300 (and that's assuming you don't want to upgrade either and get free software). And don't say "but you have a PC anyway!" because most people have paper and pencils anyway as well, and you're still going to need to replace that eventually. $380 will get you (at $23 for packs of 1500 sheets) over 41,700 sheets of paper. Or, alternatively, (at $15.99 for boxes of 144) over 3,400 pencils (you can probably get pens/markers for relatively competitive pricing). And that's just from me doing a quick amazon search, bet you could find a better deal with marginal effort. Let's just split both 50/50. That's over 20,000 pages of drawings. That's 52 pages on the dollar. You could pay less than a dollar a day on more pages than you'd probably fill. Even if we just cost the tablet that'd be over 4000 pages.

Digital has more utility, sure, but make that argument rather than the "being a cheap cunt who is stubbornly unwilling to invest even the most marginal amount of money into his craft" argument if you want it to be effective. Basic art supplies are -dirt- cheap. If you're so fucking cheap you can't spring for very basic traditional art supplies (but maintain the cognitive dissonance that buying a tablet doesn't count) you're ngmi.

This has never happened to me, because I don't save by closing the file or program. I always save first, then close, because I'm not an idiot who wants to lose a ton of progress by misclicking.

Photoshop will always recover the last session if it crashes, so it's almost impossible to lose more than a few minutes of progress. I recently started using CSP, but I don't know if does the same, as it hasn't crashed on me yet.

>>2907594
Are you retarded? Do you have any idea how much it would cost to get all the ink types, paper types, paint types, paint colors, brushes, pens, pencils, erasers, canvases and so on to emulate everything you can do on a PC?
And no, the price of a PC does not count, because everyone who doesn't live in a remote African village will have one.

Also, if you want to share your traditional art, you're still going to need a scanner, a PC and Photoshop to make it look half decent. If you want to share anything bigger than a standard A4 page, you're also going to have to invest in a very expensive, specialized scanner.

>>2907594
thats a shitty argument too. youre comparing an entire unit that can do anything to just paper and pencil???? what about the other shit? paint tubes, color pencils, markers ect not to mention the hazardous conditions traditional equipment can make. you have to maintain the shit out of everything and your artwork too if you want to keep the colors by varnishing. hello??? wake up fucking retard

My critique was that he was trying to suggest digital is cheaper. It isn't. If you're going to make arguments in favor of digital art, there are more valid arguments you can make than the cost analysis.

On the bright side, you're going to your dream school. You'll still get to hang out with your friends next year. You'll make a new set of friends in your year. It's an opportunity. You'll have an extra year of brain development and practice that'll probably help you do better with your work. One gap year doesn't mean you have no purpose. If you're depressed or lonely, you might try taking a workshop or joining some activity so that you get out of the house.

My coloring process is slow and inefficient.

I'll make a layer for the skin, fill it with a flat color, then make a layer above it and clip it, make it multiply, shade, but only with a hard edge brush, then another multiply layer for shading that I use a soft airbrush instead, then above all those layers I make a light for light spots that I set put on luminosity.

Then I repeat this process for every single color in a drawing. Sometimes I use fewer layers, but often I use more layers since I like putting hue in a different layer instead of changing the base flat color layer.

So if there are 80 things I need to color in a drawing, It'd require 240 layers. This way it's actually very easy to hit 256.

How do your drawings turn out?

I just want to discipline myself because i know once i start taking days off, everything is lost. Some people are actually really weirded out when i talk about drawing daily. They just can't seem to understand how is it so important to me to not miss a day.

>>2918250
how long do you even draw for. 2 hours, 3 maybe? theres absolutely no point to drawing longer than those hours.

Carrying a knife would most likely increase the chance of me being arrested for some bullshit so I'd rather not.

Anon, are you being frisked regularly enough that the possible chance that a police officer will find a knife in your pocket is a concern?

>>2918403

Well anon, you don't need to tell them they suck to offer some constructive advice. Just avoid doing it /ic/ style and being a cunt about it, and sugarcoat your critique a little.

>>2918406
I've never gotten frisked but let's just say that there are various variables that increase the chance of frisking and I have about half. And the variables for the increase of jail time is also about half. So I'd rather not carry anything that might be seen as dangerous.

>>2918412
Please tell me how to sugarcoat critque to someone who literally draws like Chris chan. I have no way to approach it in a nice way.

>tfw I've made legitimate and substantial improvement with my art in the past few years and I feel genuinely more capable of realizing my ideas and attaining my goals and feel more motivated than ever but a series of foolish decisions and an overall poor self image have given me the unshakable notion that I've condemned myself as a person which causes me to waste the skill I've developed by procrastinating and even though I can probably fake it for the time being and mentally put this shit on hold I always have this horrible feeling looming over me that even if I do make it and become successful and happy there's always the possibility that people will eventually see what a piece of shit loser I am and think less of my art for it

every fucking time

>>2913368
tap the brush off canvas 3 times before you actually start painting, that way even if you ctrl+z a little extra you'll still be on the right layer
there's a plug-in that fixes the issue, but Ive done the autistic clicking off canvas for so long now that I can't stop

are you the anon I talked to before about getting an ipad to help with your quality of life?
PLEASE send an email to the guy who was buying wishlist things, this is the new thread
>>2914979

they've bought things like a cintiq for people who needed help, I'm sure an ipad or something when you're stuck in bed and can't sit up too long and stuff would be perfect
their email is [email protected], if you tell them a little but about yourself and situation, and some pictures of your work, then you could get something that helps
really hope things go well for you anon

>>2919573
Yeah, same person. Thanks for before. I know about wishlist anon, but I had a feeling he was suicidal from the beginning, so I didn't ask him for anything. I hope he gets better. Thanks for the well wishes, anon.

Legitimately awful, to be honest. I'm very shitty as an artist.

>>2919828
Keep trying man. If your drawings look abstract, it's probably an issue with needing more defined forms and edges. Can try to give you better feedback if you post your work.

Those things are no joke. I don't have an autostop but those old beige and woodgrain Panasonic pencil sharpeners will sharpen you an atom splittingly sharp pencil in no time at all. And durable as all fuck too, mine is older than I am and works as well as it did 20 years ago.

Take a break. It helps me, when I have similar problems.

I carry a single-edged razor blade taped inside a book of matches in my wallet. Works fine for sharpening pencils and there's no chance of it being considered a weapon.

Update:

Staples cancelled my order because they didn't like my credit card and they won't let me reorder at the sale price so I have to order the scanner from Amazon for $30 more than I anticipated

Fuck life.
