Not a whole lot to elaborate on. I've been mentored by an established commercial artist and he put me in contact with a company that wanted an illustrator. I had kind of a bad feeling about this from the start but I didn't want to be ungrateful so I took on this project. It's been a lot of stress ever since.

First of all I've had a lot of pretty major stuff not related to the project happen in the last few months. Not going to get into it but it's all very high-priority and life altering stuff so I had a lot to juggle to start with.

Then there's the fact that I'm still pretty inexperienced and am embarrassingly slow at drawing. (seriously I'm like a sloth) So I've got that to work through. Which I guess will all get better with experience but right now it's hell and I'm really beating myself up over it. I feel like I wasn't prepared for the pressure.

Then there's the project itself and the guy I'm working with. He's obviously really new at all this too, which I can't and don't really hold against him, but it's also making my job harder. I don't know what his vision for this is, and I've not been told much of anything about the characters, or any of the worldbuilding.

I've basically been drawing them with personalities that I've given them which he hasn't seemed to mind. He hasn't really communicated what he wants exactly and there's been parts where he's ourtright contradicted it. I feel a little bit like I'm not only doing the art but writing the whole thing except it has to be in the confines of someone else's prompt.
Sorry for the longpost guys

It looks like magic. I figured out the last part, about not going out of lines, but I have no idea how he did all that other shit so fluidly, something I'd need multiple different brushes and a lot more key presses even with macros already set up. The drawing techniques he was using were really nothing incomprehensible, it's animu and its simple coloring after all, I just couldn't understand what he was doing with the tools themselves.

>Don't particularly like drawing
>Frustrated with my lack of progress
>Wish I could just give it up and forget about it
>Have a lot more fun playing guitar and writing

Despite this...

>I am always compelled to do it

It feels like a bad relationship that has gone on for decades between two people who don't really like each other but couldn't really live without each other. I just can't shake the habit of looking at something and wanting to draw it, or having an idea and needing to put it down on paper. When I travel, even for weeks at a time, my suitcase contains one or two changes of clothes and is otherwise packed with art supplies and Loomis, because I'd rather be smelly and gross than not have access to artistic release.

It sucks, because I'm not obsessed enough to have the drive to get really good. I'm only obsessed enough to be disappointed with how shit I am. I banked my entire life on making a career of it and failed because I'm driven enough to care but lack the character to do anything about it. Now I'm facing thirty and having to basically pick up where I should have left off at 18. And despite all of this bitterness I still have to draw.

Something along those lines. Creating a balance between refined and rough drawing and doing this in a sort of painterly fashion. It feels less "digital" and gives you that "hand-painted" feeling.

Hey, as someone who's worked retail, call-centers, and other normal jobs, even the boring miserable art jobs are a step up from dealing with the general public.

So don't feel too bad.

one of my favorite artists said, it's better to have a shit job moving boxes or waiting tables than to have a shit art job, because at least at the end of the shit normal job you can go home and draw

At least when you're doing a shitty art job, you're improving your skills. There's nothing like feeling you need to get better and practice, and having no time for it because you're trying to pay bills all day.

In photoshop you can add the brush resize command to one of the stylus keys and then drag to resize while holding that key. Saves lot of time. Depends on how much time you wanna spend on doing macros and shortcuts it can really streamline your process

Try to breathe deeply, relax and concentrate on one thing. That usually helps my shaking. Also ypur mindset going into drawing should be clear and without being too attached. Just...breathe :)

My curse:
>Do 3d course, was literally only taught modelling aka havent found any jobs that'll take me in.
>Even worse couldn't focus on 2d drawings for the past 3 years so am medicore and can only draw 3/4 angled girl heads.
>Knowing a degree is worthless and going in just to grind a portfolio was worthless since no job experience and was told to look up shit online 99% of the time.
>Learning that art > fun, drawing becomes less of a fun hobby into something that will determine if you'll have food on your table and straight up hell if you dont grind out good work fast and accurate to what is tasked and you in your own time have to research, ref and put things together to do so and often working even if out of the job hours to make it through schedule. Art becomes a business.
>I absolutely cannot for the life of me socially interact and make connections, maybe online, but that's an even larger competition.
>Procrastination/never gonna make it thoughts that creep up.
>Buying legal copies of softwares even if i know i could torrent because i want to be a good boy but knowing ithat it's a scam (especially yearly/monthly ones)
>Knowing that because everyone artist and their grandmas make character and knowing that environmental art is therefore superior due to the ratio and still having 0 idea how to draw enviros and do lighting, perspective and textures.
>Wanting to make an art blog but knowing im also my biggest enemy by not doing what's right and drawing everyday to make progress and improve also wanting art blog friends to make it together.
>Knowing despite me having uni and all my life problems i could've still had time improving all these years but didn't and it's my fault and i should be drawing right now and nothing's stopping me but me.

lel just let the isolation strengthen you. Gain skills. Eventually, people will follow you and approach you. Filter out the ones you don't like, only let the ones you like in. If you have the fame and skills, you don't need to go to people to befriend them like it's some job application, they come to you.

I always draw characters in boring poses, just standing, or just a bust, nothing actually dynamic...

Btw check my art http://icshdrn.tumblr.com

I never post on here this is an experiment

I HAVE NO FUCKING PATIENCE. I panic and start rushing. I don't know why. I lowkey feel intimidated by polishing/finishing process.
Also, everytime I draw something for more than 20 minutes it ends up looking worse than it would if I just left it as a sketch.

[Anonymous No.3585656]

>>3585543
well, just use that in your process, you can either concentrate on styliazation that incorporate the speed, or you can work 20 mins, take a break or work on something else, then hit another 20 min burst when you're ready.
