>upload drawings to social media>git gud after a year or two drawing WHAT YOU WANT>gain a bunch of followers who are the most loyal onesTHEEEEEEN>finally whore yourself out by drawing fanart and porn>followers reach astronomical levels>go back to drawing what you wantSo many people here just do it backwards. If you start drawing fanart right away, youll gain 500 - 1000 followers over night. but doing it my way, youll get 5000 - 10000; sakimichan level. muhahaha
>>3228567>500 - 1000 followers over nightvs>5000 - 10000 followers after 2 years
>>3228646>>3228649You seem to have a fundamental misconception about how the world works Your Skill=/= Your PaySakimi supplies a product that people demand, people absolutely adore her fanart. They like the characters and style so much that they want to be able to paint just like her, so sakimi supplies them with her insights and processes through PSD files, voice overs, and other such tutorials.Most of her patreons are not just random people who want to look at fan art porn, they are people who wish to paint like her. Whether that product is good or not is irrelevant, because it is good enough.Take McDonalds as an example, McDonalds burgers are really not all that good...in fact I would much rather have a burger from the burger shack run by Joe down the street, it is a superior burger. So than why does Joe not have a multibillion dollar franchise?Sakimichan hits the right buttons stylistically and delivery wise.It does not matter how good your product is, if you don't deliver it than no one gives a shit. Look at KJG, he was a nobody until he did ONE youtube video of him drawing. Sakimi should be an important lesson to all artists. It is not enough to just toss your work out there on twitter, you have to provide something that others don't.
>>3228604comparing her shit with actual decent stuff, that's the joke anon
>>3228645ugh.. she a genius for having a retarded virgin audience that throws money at her? That's a new one
>>3228672>kjg>sakimichan>what links them is the IDEA of drawing like them>one in the style>the other in the techniqueeven another artist which I like atm or the ones which got me into drawing, now that i think about, I like(d) them because of the desire of drawing like them, and not necessarily because I found their art as the most awesome one in the worldhow we found the truth anons?
Loomis is for fucking retards, you will never draw like Murata with your shity loomis method fuck tards
>>3222507Oh man, I had this book as a kid. Talk about nostalgia. Not groundbreaking by a stretch but the comics in it were pretty cute.
what was the point of loomis fun with pencil. i have it and do like it but is it going to teach me to draw cartoons or some shit
>>3230559Draw With a Pencil is designed for absolute beginners. It'll teach you how to think about heads and the like within space.
>>3230570just that?
>>3230335hownew.rumerc_wip is a literal meme. a joke. kill yourself
It's that time of the day againmake yourselves presentable and post your self portrait!
>>3229696im wearing a really nice sweater with a thin black hoodie, i just drew what im wearing right now lol
>>3229696fixed that weird circle i drew by my eye for no reason.
>>3229739that definitely made the drawing much better

thanks for the thread retard
flex
>>3230399how can you go through an art block? If you had the skill to animate, why not use that to create a movie or something. Wtf is an artblock
OK, this threat will be about random art tips that everyone should know, just random tips that you know and made your life easier.>Yes, you can ask for tips the nice people that are here, and that will always help you when you struggle with art.>and write as much as art tips as you can, this may help the /beg/ kiddos that just pass by (It is recommended to use pictures, but you don't have to). I HOPE PEOPLE CAN LEARN SOMETHING NEW THAT WILL HELP THEM IMPROVE THEIR ART!>have a nice day :)
Anything from your first few months of serious art practice.Let us laugh at our past failures!
>>3226656illustrat?
>>3220861As of yesterday.
Oldest art I've got documented on my hard drive from when I was 14-15
>>3222231the oldest I have from 2016
this is what happens when you learn to render before you learn to draw
Be honest now anon, are you using a illegal photoshop copy
>>3225164>Poor people can't access the internetYou should stop posting about things you have little knowledge about. Some people are able to get by solely because of their access to the internet for ways to save more money in their lives.
It only costs $9.99 a month to use that shit (the price of 2 coffees at starbucks).How fucking poor can you guys be?And yes photoshop is superior to all the other free stuff out there.
>>3226369How is gimp for drawing and painting?
>>3228582>renting software>not owning itAnyway, there is always free software. Even with their limitation, you can do good thing with it. Like David Revoy.
>>3224667hell yeah! wonder why it is a industry standard everywhere! everyone is so foolish!
I got a $16k a year scholarship for SAIC (not including FAFSA financial aid). Should I go?
>>3230376It's believable. My major has 15 people in the senior class.
>>3230345>>3230375 In my anecdotal experience, which includes several hundred friends I have on facebook as well as many of their friends whom I'm familiar with, I only know 3 others that draw, and none of them have even attempted to make it a career. It's more of a "draw a little something once every three months" kind of thing.For all you know, of those already completely hypothetical "100 self-taught artists" outside of the schools maybe 1 or 2 of them actually intend on pursuing art professionally. This is all conjecture either way, that statistic is imperfect, but it's the best input we currently have until something better comes along. I have had more people mention to me they wanted to go to art school or had gone to art school while watching me draw at work than I know in my own life who even draw as a hobby. In both the US and Europe the fact is if you're that serious about seeking work in a certain field you're most likely going to pursue an education in that field. I'm one of the very few people I know that hasn't had some kind of formal education in general, and I can't help but assume that this experience is relatively common for people of my generation.
>>3230376Doesn't sound 'intimate' to me. Probably just watching them on social media. If they never post anything art related you can probably assume they've quit.I had 30 people in my illustration class. I'd say 5 are working at least part time, the other 25 are either failing or have quit. I know this, but I'm only friends with 2 of my former classmates. I guess some of them might be working under a pseudonym or NDA, or secretly... but you can sort of tell bcus the ones working were the ones who made the best work during school anyways.
>>3230367Post work?
>>3230380>watch this>total tuition is almost $6,000 cheaper than OP
Do you use a multi monitor setup? How useful is it to have the drawing app on one screen and reference or other stuff on the second screen?
>>3225405It's dope.I'll often have art on one and ref + distraction on another. Or like 4 different writing docs, or whatever, more space is good.Problem is, unless you have identical screens, it may be hard to match colours between them. My laptop screen is way dimmer and cooler than my secondary and I can't really fix it with screen sdjustments.
i had a second (third when my tablet is plugged in) monitor for a while but it kinda died recently :cit was nice to be able to organize that much space to references and maybe a chat window or youtube video and the such, now i'm more often ending up having to spend time moving stuff around to switch between what i'm doing.>>3225565i'm much like this but weirdly enough i'm having more moments where i work in dead silence without realizing it cause somehow i still managed to fall into the flow
Its nice because I can have netflix up one 1 screen, references/poses/whatever on another, and draw on the last one so i don't get bored.
>>3225405It's really nice but half and half just werks if you only have one monitor
>>32254052 monitors + ipadIf I only had 1 monitor I'd make that work, but today I pretty much need 1 or 2 extra monitors.But then, I also like to watch a show on one monitor.
Nsio kun.... this is Mark Crilley tierWHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO NSIO!? Why did he peak so early? I really wish he became some /ic/ meme whose on par with Kim Jung Gi or something, but this looks like some fetish piece done by a /beg/ painting animu girls for the first time.
He's a teacher, so it's fine.
He's a hobbyist.What did you expect?
>>3229736But mark crilley is good now
>>3229736NSIO was always shit. Always made those retarded bulbous kneecaps and sausage like anatomy. You were just a beg shitter who thought anything remotely cute in a .jpg tutorial was good.
>>3229736Nsio keeps putting all of his skillpoints in technique. This is a hard pill for many artists to swallow - that technique is merely a means to an end and can't generate good art in itself. All the souless generic Feng Zhu shit is no better
This is the painting we could have seen being painted from scratch if the crowd at IAMAG wasnt literally retarded. Nice.
>>3229902I'll bite. So how was the IAMAG crowd retarded?
>>3229920Do the beginner crabs now pretend edge control is a bad thing or something?
>>3230053craig mullins asked if they wanted some shitty paintover or this piece from the groundup. And audience cheered for the paintover.
>>3229993>>3229932this is the ideal make body. you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
>>3230018wow he was hot
Got a confession that's art related or affects your art? Need to get something off your chest and maybe get advice on it? Post here. This thread is being made to give advice and keep blogposts contained.
>>3230194Oh I also dont know how to into anatomicsany good approach to this?
>>3230226First learn perspective and the other basics. Learn how to draw what you see etc etc. Then you get into anatomy. Without the fundamentals your stuff will be inherently flawed and you will have to relearn everything from scratch. I learned this from experience.Art is based on a series of building blocks that need a good foundation otherwise it all falls apart.You can't go into calculus without knowing what addition is.
>>3213034I miss that feeling from when I began, where I was more carefree and oblivious to mistakes.Now i'm overly critical and grind s much its lost it's charm. JFMSUfam3.14159
>>3230058Why would you close it?Just go MIA and come back if you feel like it.
>>3230521I actually hadn't considered this option, but I think this might be the best one. Thank you anon, I think I'll do that!
