My niggas

I got serious a couple weeks ago, hit that point where I just needed to do something.
Picked up Scott Robertson's book and made a little routine which is working out pretty well.
You may consider starting one too,
got to keep yourself in check since no one else is going to do that for you,
they don't care to and have their own thing to work on anyway.

Plan out your whole day, something like
>Get up when it's time
>Breakfast
>News/go through artbooks/whatever
>Workout
>Hygiene ( shower / shave / brush teeth / etc. )
>Tidy up your work space, lay out whatever you're going to need today
>Get to work ( x amount of pages / drawings ) keep at it until an hour or two from bedtime
>Do what you'd like and go to bed when it's time

While you're working, make sure you get up once in a while, it's not good to just sit the whole time
and establishing a quota is really important cause you will get distracted out of habit and this way you can properly evaluate how much work you're doing.

Keep your routine going errday and break one day a week, just unload, get drunk and play vidya, whatever you want to do.
It's nice to relax and doing it this way is much more satisfying.

I think this is pretty straight forward but you may still find it tough to get going
best I can say is you just have to make that decision to take responsibility for your own artistic progression
cause like I said, no one else is going to or even really can make you do this, you're the only one who can take charge of your life like this.

What I realized now, that even though i don't have motivation, I can draw. The difference is, that i wont like what i draw, but i can. you always can. at times like these i am practicing lines, circles, gestures, perspectives. eventually my motivation will come as well.

think of a situation of important work: you got a friend that will arrive soon, he said so. but you can start the work without him, no sweat.
eventually you finish the work, and your friend calls - sorry today isn't good.
now, if you didn't start the work, you wouldn't have finished it by the end of the day. that friend is called motivation.

That was apparently only three years ago.

It's fairly common that beginners produce more creative work than intermediate artists, because of their complete lack of knowledge, they paint fearlessly without worrying about doing something wrong. In the intermediate stage, you have a much better understanding of the fundamentals, but as a result of not having mastered them yet, you fear of making mistakes and subconsciously your work becomes much more timid and less imaginative.

just practice; using pencil you just build up values slowly. use any H for light values (or use HB but press lightly) and B for darker tones.

Eh I don't really agree. Yes to slow building of values, no to eraser and other pencils. Just get good with the HB, it can give a pretty full range of value, and it saves you switching between pencils. Plus you learn more subtle control with your hand when it is all done with the single pencil.

[Anonymous No.1765288]

>>1765283
yeah you can also scan and darken areas in PS, but on paper your value range is only going to be as good as >>1761985 (OP) OP, if you only use HB.
eraser is good, don't needlessly limit yourself.

[Anonymous No.1765293]

>>1765288
It depends on the paper you use how dark it can go. I find like it doesn't go as dark on moleskin for example. But if you push hard you can go fairly black. Not that you really need a ton of black anyways.

As for the eraser, it just makes you dependent on it, better to put things down lightly to start then when you put more pressure it will be done with confidence and look good. Especially with a bit of rendering hte early lines disappear without hte need for an eraser.

[Anonymous No.1765294]

You also can't lighten it after that. Which is why people use multiple pencils.

[Anonymous No.1765301]

>>1765293
well, if the paper is thick enough and you're not afraid to break your pencil, then yes, use HB. I know what you mean about the eraser, i don't use it often myself either, but sometimes it comes in handy as it's the only way to brighten (or fix mistakes).

[Anonymous No.1765304]

>>1765294
That doesn't even make sense. Why would a different pencil type change anything?

Because when you push hard on the paper it makes the marks a lot more permanent.

Well either way you should onyl put the darkest darks down near the end and once you know it is in the right place, so it won't need to be erased.

Don't worry, you'll get to a point where you'll NEED Loomis (and by Loomis I mean fundamentals) to keep improving. And if not, you'll just get stuck. You can try to keep drawing animu plus some tries at realistic stuff and studies, you won't notice but you'll gradually increase the amount of less-animeish stuff you want to draw. You'll have fun drawing a guy with weird facial features, but you'll get better at drawing animu too. It's like, I don't know, being teached something at school versus learning it from a random book you found when you were a child. Studying sounds boring, anime sounds fun, but if you discover and try to learn something you might enjoy it, you might have fun with it while learning, and after a while you'll be able to say "I already kinda know how to draw this because I practiced, and I had a lot of fun with it. Fags." and remember you'll need to figure out the fundamentals to draw better animu. Or at least that's how it happened with me. Good luck.

Never set in stone something which is based on a single word currently seemingly fitting your sexuality best or anyone else's.

I think that's a specific issue among a lot of people, that saying "this is what I am and what I will always be", such ingrained the longing to belong, to be defined by a single word, that all other possibilities are being flushed down the shitter.
Such is the lot of folks who define themselves using single words. Sad.

[Germany No.1776743]

>>1776740
I am perfectly aware of the seemingly dwindling numbers of straight people, but that, I believe, is also due to people in the past calling themselves straight because
a) the other variants have not been invented yet and
b) the social and psychological stigma both calling any deviation a mental illness.

If you would like to spend a few hours with the topic of sexuality from a rather different and interesting point of view, I would recommend getting your hands on the audiobook Evolution's Rainbow.
I have found it to be wonderfully calming in terms of what other people say they like and what that means, backed up by a bunch of easily verified examples and a fun writing style.

Maybe they have a more professional FB page or twitter feed you could follow, so you only have to go back to their tumblr for side stuff?

I know but one stylized and sane artist on tumblr, and she hands out her art like free candy so most of it never even gets uploaded. It was so surreal drawing with her at a con. She just made shit and gave it to the first person who complimented it.

>>1778596
I don't understand. Do you mean digital art by Photoshop stuff or something else? If you're complaining about traditional art being overshadowed by digital art, you're either in the wrong art communities or you just suck.

was that artists by any chance the one that re-designed Batgirl? I've seen her stuff, looks okay and all but it still gave me some bicurious vibe (some pin ups she drew) at least she also draws guys and such, unlike the grills that I've met that draw titties and such and giggle like fucktwad middle school boys...

I follow a ton of artists on tumblr as well, even a bunch of female artists. Never seen any of those types of posts before. Isn't it weird that the only exposure i have with "tumblr shit" "sjw" "femnazis" etc is from people on 4chan complaining about it?

I'm scared /ic/ hold me
I just want to be a proper professinal artist but sending emails like 'help I can't even hold onto the money you give me' isn't going to help at all. And I doubt they'll write a second cheque knowing the first is still floating out there.
