I think I found the artist who I want to be my mentor, and create new worlds with. I never felt this way before. Something about how he draws and the depth of his stories stir a very visceral reaction inside me, I feel like crying. His style, his stories, it's as if I would've written them myself. Yet we're also very different. His stories are gentle and organic, and mine hard edged and ultraviolent, and these contrasts would make a very powerful blend. Yet it's also the same animal underneath, somehow, which is why it would work. We share the same dreams and values, and I think I would make a great protege for him and supplement his legacy and continue the tradition.

He lives in a different country however, though he has deep respect for my kind. How are you supposed to even get in touch with him and actually succeed in establishing some connection? Should I hire him? I have money, but I want to get to a point where he will see me as someone he can groom to be his equal. I used to want to be Syd Mead's protege, but this guy though... I think I can forge something powerful with this guy. I actually want to give it a shot. I have a couple webcomics under my belt, a colorful history, a military resume, and and and

Has anyone done something like this before?

Cool story. Sounds kinda romantic. Why are you so insistent on not saying this artist's name, though?

I love teaching and take a lot of pride in being part of someone else's success and growth. I don't know if I am there yet as an artist though.

>>3082987

Just in case it actually becomes a thing and people begin recognizing me. But by then I probably will have bigger things to worry about than being recognized.

send him an email first, tell him some specific things you liked about his work. ask if he does schoolism or other paid online tutoring or anything like that. and that if he doesnt you'd be willing to pay him for a portfolio review(a lot of artists want money for this since it eats up time). please remember, some artists dont have the time, temperament or desire to mentor people especially ones considerably below their skill level, and don't get your hopes up

hey it's OP. I don't know if I want to go the "plz tutor me the arts!" part myself, not to mention that our styles are very different. I think I learn the technical drawing skill side pretty well on my own or with my own peers, and there's plenty of tutorials and other schools where I can learn how to draw.

I want to get to him at an angle that's not skill related, but try to pick his brain to see what makes him care and what drives him, and then tug at his heart (which is why I think telling him specific things I like about his work is a great idea, as you suggested). Try to draw him in at a visceral level, and then introduce the idea of collaborating the different things we have to offer. I've done this before, but not with an artist.

The biggest obstacle for me is the language barrier and that we don't have any mutual friends between us. Yeah I can throw money at him but if you want someone to be REALLY invested, you got to be able to offer more than that.

I don't have a portfolio in the traditional sense, except the things I've worked on so far, my website, my curriculum vitae, which I guess is my "portfolio".

Your choices in storytelling could either complement or create artistic differences between you two, just make sure to understand his side when giving an opinion about something of his you disagree with.

It's become so easy to tell mental illness/delusion just from how people write. This man doesn't even know you fucking exist, I'm doubtful he'll want to take some random autist from the other side of the globe on as a student. You're going to send an email or something sperging out, linking him to your shitty webcomics and begging for him to make you his pupil, and then either he or his agent are going to politely tell you that he's too busy with an actual career to take on students at the moment.

If you want to learn under someone find artists in your area that give private lessons, you're talking about something utterly unrealistic

ok, that's not what you said in the OP but it's probably more sensible and less intense to not offer money


a website is basically an online portfolio, that's fine

just do your art shit and git gud and send him a nice email saying you like his shit, follow him on twitter or something. and look up any and all interviews the guy has done, they usually talk about influences there. you might not actually have to ask him these things.

you can't make someone be friends with you, sad to say, especially if they're not looking out for it

>>3085607
i like you, anon. you can relax now

>find artists in your area that give private lessons

Teachers are easy to find and I have a good ones I've stuck with over the years. I am not asking this guy to teach me how to draw.

>>3086897

How is it not what I said?

>you can't make someone be friends with you, sad to say, especially if they're not looking out for it

Clearly. You can't make someone do anything, it's not like they owe it to you. But there's ways to go about it.
