>tfw want to learn to draw but know I'm not dedicated enough at anything I try to ever become good at so what's the point.

That's probably my biggest block, but my second biggest block is that when I finish a crappy drawing I feel so much embarrassment looking at it even when there's no one to see.

Is there a manual for people who draw like a toddler?

How do you grow out of sameface syndrome when you have face-blindness

But level 0 is how ZUN draws

Are you a neet?

Step 1: Acquire wealth
Step 2: Pay someone more talented than you to draw for you
Step 3: There is no Step 3.

Draw. A lot of it will be shit, but keep grinding. Study Loomis, use the /ic/ sticky. Just keep going, it doesn't have to be every day, but if it is, alls the better. Don't be like the crabs on /ic/.

I'm 21 and my art is fucking shit
Is it too late for me?

This. It sucks in the beginning, and it sucks when everyone just tells you to draw without really saying anything else, but it's because it's the best thing you can do. It's a pretty great feeling when you like something really obscure and it has no art, and you draw it yourself and it satisfies you just a bit.

Loomis is such a fucking même holy shit

Nope, it's never too late as long as your drawing hand works. Just keep going.

Nah, don't listen to anyone who says it is. And try not to fall in the trap of comparing yourself to others. The bottom line is there's always gonna be someone younger and better than you. Just deal with it, and focus on yourself.

Yeah but he makes up for it by being possible the most covered musician in history

Do you mean people who draw only a circle with stick arms and legs? Because you're supposed to grow out of that phase naturally by you enter elementary school, if you don't there's something wrong with your cognitive development and sadly will never make it.

No I draw like this because I never drew before

Well this is normal so at least you're normal

George W. Bush is like 70 and he learned to paint. 21 is literally "just out of highschool babby", you've got decades to figure your shit out.

>things get easier from here
yeah right

This is the kind of stuff that makes me not want to draw at all
I don't think I get anything out of this image

Not just draw, but draw from life. Go to a park and sketch the landscape or the people and animals. Go to a zoo or a museum and draw something that catches your eye.

Draw one hundred hands, one hundred feet, one hundred poses and ten km running

Every single days

THR FUCK IS WITH THIS DRAW EITH YOUR SHOULDER MEME?THE SHIT COMES OUT TEN TIMES WORSE

It's faster. Especially if you want to be an animator/comic artist you need to master it.

It makes the lines smoother because you get more range of motion. You can also draw from the elbow. Drawing from the shoulder feels weird for most people at first, but it actually works.

Posting the tutorials from that artist who deleted their Twitter because snowflakes got mad because of this tip

They only deleted their English account, artist was actually Japanese and had a friend translate all of the text for her. English tutorials are still available behind a paywall, however.

What are some good artist step-by-step processes or tutorials or some sort of class I could find online?

I used to draw a lot as a kid but I stopped and only got back into it in the last year. Still rusty, but slowly getting better. I’ve been in a lull since I haven’t felt like drawing these past few months which I’m trying to get out of.

Loomis books

Depends what you wanna accomplish, but you don't actually need to be that good if you're trying to build an audience. Just make stuff regularly.

>drew all the time as a kid
>attempted to start drawing and practicing seriously dozens of times since then
>24 now and still can't draw
>but also don't have a blank canvas mentally to start right
>instead I only have dozens of bad habits, half-learned techniques, and incorrect ideas about drawing that would only further impede progress

You don't. It's more of a talent rather than a skill.

grab a pencil
draw something
repeat until your hand bleeds

This just telling you what to focus on.

If you've never drawn before, building. arm strength and muscle memory is the first step. Drawing basic shapes in 2d and 3d is the second. Everything becomes a little easier after that.

Got high off kumbacha and george carlin rants while drawing cartoon eyes. Then went to white board brain dead as fuck and made this.

I found Bridgman more helpful, but loomis is really not a bad place to start.

You will have to keep at way past the point where a reasonable person would give up.

Why the hell is everyone using sword comic dude to push this meme? Did he say some whack shit recently?

I find myself in the same situation. Used to draw some completely amateur porn long time ago and quit because I was completely stalling on progress. Then I started using beer as an excuse not to draw(want to draw but oh I bought beer so I can't do that drunk so better just party and play video games). Now I haven't even thought about drawing all that much but alcoholism stayed so lmao, fuck my life.

Sometimes when I order something online, I might also get some art supplies on the side as if to convince myself I might someday pick it up. All of them still in the closet unopened.

Friday, let's party my friends.

>If you've never drawn before, building. arm strength and muscle memory is the first step
And that's the one fucking thing they never teach.

Every fucking thread. Someone wants to learn to draw silly cartoons and a jackass points them them in the direction of meme anatomy drawing books.

My first drawing assignment at art school was to draw 200 straight lines on a canvas without using a ruler.

Best cartooning book ever: animationresources.org/instruction-preston-blairs-advanced-animation/
Aside from cartooning, a better first time book on general drawing is Drawing On The Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards since it will teach to observe more accurately and focus on proportions rather than symbolic guesses. But Loomis will teach how to construct drawings through 3D shapes and make them more believable, so even though it's a meme, it's a useful meme you should read if you haven't.

Displine I suppose

Why would you want to? Fast food janitors make more money and do a more dignified job.

Hey buddy I think you got the wrong door, /ic/ club is two blocks down

Why do people assume photorealism is harder than actual art?

>If you've never drawn before, building. arm strength and muscle memory is the first step.
So I should find my old dumbbells?

What if I told you they do

You gotta learn how to draw the real deal before you can abstract it, you dunce. Otherwise you end up with "but it's muh style" tier fuckups.

Or you can just not have a huge ego and actually progress.

You still gotta know the basics.
You draw an arm and don't know where the bones are, you get a floppy noodle or a t-rex stump.

The basics are at most a guideline. It's the artists job to makes sense out of an image so the audience can understand it. Quality will always very and there will never be a definitive answer to what makes art the best because at that point it would be bias. If you want popularity, go with something that's already familiar, but don't assume that art isn't abstract to begin with.

FUCK YOU

Who 3rd mastery bois

it's literally never too late
you just gotta have a lot of patience and discipline

LOOMIS
O I

SIMOOL

Why would you turn down having more knowledge? You may not want to draw in a realistic style, but having more knowledge of anatomy can only help your art's quality. You can choose how much of that knowledge to apply but its better than simply not knowing

ZOOWEEMAMA

Dude that sounds gay

If you don't have natural talent you can never learn. Just kill yourself instead.
