Artist improvement patterns

>2 year-ish
Every single fucking time.

I don't mean to offend, but 2 years-ish of drawing isn't long at all and you probably haven't even gone through your "breakthrough", but you won't realize this until you actually go through it.

I think people start to make it when they finally grasp the concept of form or find their style (not in the muh style way). But even decent artists are constantly changing up their aesthetic.

This interview of Steve Hutson was very eye-opening.

Thanks for the reply, I'll pay more attention to this breakthrough thing

You may take it as bullshit, but i've always been invovled with art since a child, specially drawing and writing, the reason why I said 2 year ish is because that's more or less the time that I stopped seeing drawing as a secondary activity, I guess

Anyway, thanks for the understanding :^]

>all that narcissism
well she sure likes drawing herself.

In the end we are the person and potential model we most end up seeing during our lifetime.

>implying I don't avoid the mirror as much as possible

>>3131539
btw making a self portrait is nice way to keep track of improvements, I guess

All she does is drawings of pretty girls + self portraits.
Lame.

>>3131539

must be nice to be a pretty girl and not have to draw this monster every day

>>3131576
I like this, do you post your artwork somewhere online too?

>>3131576
Kek. That's precisely why I don't do self portraits. I used to look at the mirror when learning how to draw faces from imagination and all my people started looking like down syndrome retards.

>>3131576
Just draw your mom, Brian, don't you live with her?

>>3131620
She's got a job that takes up most of her time. I've painted her a few times though. She knows it takes time now and she prefers spending time not sitting in one place. That's usually how it goes. People are excited to sit for that first painting but quickly realize how hard it is

>making a living from art after 2 years
Please post work, not meming. I wanna see what it looks like. Also post your progress if you can. That's breddy damn good if true.

hope she avoids the tumblr nose

>>3131633

Sorry anon, I was sleep deprived and english is not my first language

What I wanted to say was "And only recently decided I'd try to make a living out of illustration"

I've done some things to get some bucks here and there but they're terrible and not worthy of being posted here.

>>3131628
Make her watch tv or read a book.

>>3131615
Down's syndrome AND retarded?! The double whammy!

>>3131474
>that i've been drawing for a while (2 year-ish)
Ah, the classic /ic/ bait thread.

>>3131576
the true face of autism

>>3131576
I feel like you were born to be a circa 1970's terrorist, you have the perfect face for it. This sketch would be perfect for some newspaper expose about your life titled "A glimpse at madness" or some shit. You were born too late Brian.

>>3131924
Brian is Italian, his family was probably part of the Mafiaso on the 70s.

>>3131474
I like loish's style from 2009-2011. There a stage where the skill has obviously gone up but appeal has disappeared.

>>3131474
Was she the one who started the red nose trend? She is already doing it in 2007 and 2009 and even in 2011. That was a hell of a long time ago though, even before tumblr if I'm correct.
