It seems this board leans more into digital painting, what with the masters and professionals they always cite and post as examples. I hardly ever see any sort of inking or line art illustrators. There are a lot of posts of people's study sketches that would suggest they want to learn to draw well, but because line art is hardly referenced, it seems more like sketching is just a means to an end to learning the fundamentals to then paint digitally.

The reason I ask is that I see a lot of people arguing over which method of learning is superior to another, but it really depends on what your end goal is, what field you want to be in, if any. Some goals are more creative than others, some require more knowledge of anatomy. Which I also find interesting, this place only cares about drawing people. I don't see as many backgrounds, vehicles, animals, etc. I think if there was more understanding that some avenues require more knowledge in one area than another, fewer people would be so religious about one method over another.

Most people here are not actually learning. They are hoarding sources of knowledge in a vain attempt to improve through accumulation of sources. Infantile as all fuck. Also, even though they barely do the excersises they fear that they may hoard invalid sources, so that's why they are so anal about the teachers, books or products. It's very common behaviour and not only in art.

>>4492462
right but hoarding for what?

>> No.4492481

>>4492476
It's psychologically easier to hoard than to look at one source, understand it and study it thoroughly. Besides most people by the time they are reading one thing they have a gnawing phobia that they are wasting their time and should collect more stuff. And the cycle ever repeats until they person quits because they claim they had shit genetics and were not built for art.

I am a /beg/, but one particular short term goal which is to get good enough to red-line for others regularly and give good tips.

I draw because I enjoy drawing but I am not aiming to make a career in this area. I would like to draw portraits of attractive girls from imagination, but its not a particular end goal.

Um, to buy a nice house in a neighborhood with low crime and start a family? I suppose that is a lot of money for a Forever Alone, but having a house with a family and being able to put your kids through college without huge debt is a satisfying thing.

My end goal is to be able to draw something like this.

I want to be able to listen to music that I like and create something fantastical in my mind, and translate it to paper. I don't really care if it's rough or sketchy, I'd like to just be able to create little doodles to make myself proud of myself, and maybe show them to my gf or friends to allow them to see what I think is cool
