Stupid Art Confessions

but anti-fouling gloves are useful anon.

my hand gets sweaty and sticks to my tablet.

God damn, I am currently wearing one while drawing with huion h610

I use it because it allows for smoother movement on top of the tablet, also now my hand won't wear down the tablet or grease it up.

it's actually very useful

>>2960259
>>2960257
same

also, I confess to buying more art supplies than I plan on using. I have literal suitcase full of acrylic paint bottles(I got from a flea market) and a bunch of brushes but I don't know if I'll ever get around to using them since I'm just sticking to pen and paper for now.

>>2960271
Ah yep, art supply hoarding.

I have a few canvases and a bunch of acrylics, but I never touch them because I want to get "just a little better" before committing a significant amount of resources to one piece. Also my apartment is tiny and I don't really have a good spot to paint in.

I was trying to buy cintiq wacom without know how to draw

>>2960290
nothing bad about that
Then you'll have the best equipment and a reason to start getting good.

>>2960251
When I draw in public I love it when people say I'm good at drawing.
I know they only say it because it would be impolite otherwise, but fuck it.

>>2960294
but the real question is... are you actually good at drawing?
If you know you're utter shit then it's something you should get mad about if people praise you.

>>2960296
I guess I am okay-ish. Only because they say I'm good I don't see it myself to be good enough like most deviantartfaggots because of that.
It's also a nice challenge to one day become actually awesome so that people mean it when they say "you're talented, anon".

>>2960294
People give you compliments because they want to talk to you to be interested in them back. They don't give a shit about what you're drawing. Do you have a problem with social interactions by any chance?

I fall in love with every girls that draw. Should I kill myself?

my hands sweat a lot, so I've considered getting these, but it feels like it'd make them sweat more. I just use a piece of tissue

>>2960487
nah, just keep staring the while drawing, when she looks at you make an approval head nod then leave

>>2960483
>family wants me to be interested in them more than normally
>random dudes from my platoon want me to be interested in them when there is 10 more guys in the same room

If it was random people I would kinda understand your point of view, but I don't think that really applies that much here.

But yeah i do have a problem with understanding indirect messages and sarcasm. Which I usually tell people when they are sarcastic and I realise it.

art confession: i wore that glove with my thumb in the pinky slot for about a year

I draw a ton of porn for commissions while not being turned on by 2D whatsoever

I bought some black cloth gloves from a Halloween store during October that were 5 or 7 dollars a pack and cut one in half like that but left the other one whole, so i could switch between the two when ever I wanted. Sometimes I don't wear them when I'm using my Wacom tablet monitor after a few times of that i have to get some windex

>>2960494
Oh I can make friends with them but I'm 26 and 110 lbs. I've been told twice I was just too frail looking to be sexually attractive. I want love man, not friendship. I'm going to get to a point in my life where it's going to be too late to start a family just because I'm ugly and that's depressing as fuck. My only purpose is to draw shit for other people. I fucking hate working for video game studios. These places are filled with feminists now also.

Protip: they're gay and they want the d
Proprotip: you are gay and you want the d too

>>2960599
don't want to be friends? so just stop being all nice to them, they're are just people with boobs/ass, be kind but also mean, they're not delicate flowers who needs to be treated tenderly. At least you can start conversations with people and that's a fucking lot. I wish i could give better advices but i'm the social awkward kind fucktard

>>2960251
itc: retards who does things that doesn't make them good or useful.

>>2960251
I bought some cheap wool gloves for my Cintiq, cut them down like that.

Made no difference at all.

>>2960271
If you are afraid that you will waste them by making shitty art, you should do it anyway since they are waste anyway just sitting there. At least with the shitty art it will have a use in practice and experience.

Seriously just take them out and paint or draw something stupid and use them all up. Once they are gone they will be a load off your mind.

>>2960599
Start working out, gain some weight and muscle

>>2960251
but we don't. People assume we have a michael jackson complex until they see the tablet.

>>2960291
Don't troll the noobs, this isn't /b.

>>2960290
I have a cintiq 24 and a cintiq companion 2.
I don't know how to draw, I'm literally just starting with perspective made easy.

>>2960999
Nice trips

>>2960251
i do this too

>>2960271
same but for me its just way to many pencils

got ones form h to 8b but I only use my mechanical ones

>>2961177
I still don't know which pencils to use when.

>>2960251
They look pretty dumb to be desu.

>>2960257
>my hand gets sweaty and sticks to my tablet.
ew

>>2960702
I understand but what exactly do you practice painting on besides those pricey canvases? I mean for charcoal drawing I got plenty of 100 page newspaper thin sketchpads but what exactly am I looking for to practice a lot paintings at a decent price?

>>2961228
a canvas pad

For quite a while I thought that storyboard artists make crappy chalkboard drawings in front of cafes
Would always get pissed when good artists told that it's their dream job, why would you want to waste your fucking talent on that

>>2961238
oh ok, never heard of these before. I'm looking them up I'm just seeing 10 page pads for 6-12 bucks, is that normal? it feels like I would need more for just practicing. Can I paint over one sheet continuously for practicing brush strokes to save on paper?

>>2960251
its only useful if you draw w/ charcaol
most tablet surfaces don't have problems with sweat

>>2960290
I was gifted a cintiq for my birthday 3 years ago and have only used it once

s-sorry alex

>>2963846
What the fuck why? What are you even doing in /ic/ if you're not drawing? and if you're drawing traditionally why the fuck aren't you trying?

>>2963847
I'm too used to my tablet-tablet. Cintiq is too bulky for me.

Watercolor paper booklet. Made to hold wet media and you can get around 60 pages for a reasonable price.
