Why do they all wanna make online courses or tuts

[Anonymous No.4042812]

imagine paying thousand of dollars for a art degree just to become a youtuber or begging people to checkout your gumroad. Why aren't you making million in the industry.
Some of em aren't even gud, i guess that's why they are trying to be teachers

Has anyone actually checked out his gumroad?

[Anonymous No.4042822]

Some gumroads are fucking good, nobody gets you at gunpoint to buy one, stop bitching about everything and let people be.

It's called passive income, also not putting all your eggs in one basket. You create content that people will always be interested in, put it online, and enjoy the extra income it brings.

Put one paid tutorial online and you'll make $100/month, put 10 of them online and you're making $1000/month, all by literally doing nothing (besides making the content in the first place obviously).

Not only that, but putting educational content out there is a great way to portray yourself as an expert in your field, and if the content is decent people will advertise your name for you (I've lost count of how many times I've recommended James Gurney's books or Marco Bucci's videos to people).

There's a reason why so many popular artists have online classes, tutorials, books, brushes, YouTube channels, etc., it'd be stupid not to do it.

Damn annon that hit hard. I've been grinding antomy for a while and wondering why instagram artists who've bever touched an art book in their life somehow make better art than me. I should try it learn from them shouldn't I

Don’t stop learning anatomy, but I suggest you also spend a little time drawing what you like without worrying about technique and fundamentals

[Anonymous No.4043161]

If you can't draw figures from observation at least decently then you don't need to be learning anatomy in depth just yet. You will have not much idea how to apply it to your drawings aesthetically. Aside from basic knowledge of the major surface muscles it is really an advanced topic to study after you get to a certain level of figure drawing, this is what Steve Huston recommends to do in his NMA videos.

Learning rendering and painting was much more efficient for me than learning all of those pointless anatomy

>muh fundiementals needs to be a priority but everytime I get through a course midway I stop and quit for a couple of months
>repeating the same fundies over and over for years, never advancing and improving at a snails pace at which could have been a mere 2 years
>after several years of doing the same thing over and over I begin to notice all the /begs/ that came before and after me are super good
>"heh...must be talent" I say to myself
>soon I begin to feel for suicide

B/C nobody is getting paid two shits, no matter how good they are, without turning into a brand, a youtube following, teacher mentor packages to sell etc, its a joke.

>focus on getting better but keep soul as #1 priority
>make art that is unique and heartfelt
>but it's not technically 10/10 so people don't give a shit about it
>it's not trendy/relevant so people don't give a shit about it
>it's not porn so people don't give a shit about it
These are the only things that sell, technically exceptional art so people want to learn from you, memes so they can retweet you on social media, and porn so they can fap to it.
I've seen many teaching artists try to make a comic or some kind of art project only to see it bomb. People aren't interested in art anymore, they are interested in learning resources so they can be artists themselves. This is why production value is so important today.

Check the people that follow you on social media (if you don't draw porn). They're almost all artists or aspiring artists.

I checked it out and the ratio of artists to non artist is usally 3:2. I just went to a few accounts and checked the profiles of their top ten recent followers.
