I don't have any skills or productive hobbies so no

I regret not dropping out of school to spend the time playing video games instead.

>wanting to be productive in a measly 100 year lifespan

user...

no, because I probably spend just about the same amount of time playing vidya as I do my other hobby

No. If I had wanted to do something productive I would have done it.

what is even the point of being productive

playing video games make more sense

why does she have a Bro Team Pill sticker on her gun

>implying drawing 2d girls is productive

I had fun and have a stable well paying job so who cares.

No because I draw better than this.

No, it happened for a reason

Not even in the slightest chief. I work, I smoke, I play vidya. Honestly it would be handy to learn how to draw hentai so I can jerk off to it whenever but we can't have everything in life so foda se.

I don't play videogames, instead I've been refining my shitposting on Yea Forums. Don't regret it at all.

That hack Ilya has a worse same-everything problem than your most generic weeb artist.

No, critical thinking is a far more important skill than any specific hard skill unless I'm a master at it.

Soft skills have multiplier effects that most hard skills don't.

i.e public speaking and communication, critical thinking, fine motor skills, vs
Telemarketing, data entry, playing piano

No, because I wasn't playing video games that much.
Rather, I regret not dealing with my mental health, which would have allowed me to be more productive in general.

I'd probably be more inclined to better myself if I had anyone who cared if I did. It'd be nice if there was someone to occasionally ask how I'm doing and who would want to see if I've improved at all.

I never cared for drawing. Instead I started learning how to cook and while I won't blow my own ego, I'm at least capable of impressing at an amateur level.
Same with baking and gardening, since vidya with fresh snacks surrounded by homegrown crops and nice flowers makes the entire experience significantly more enjoyable.

hubpages.com/art/how-to-draw-learn

Draw every single fucking day for at least an hour at first, then continue until you're doing it multiple hours a day. Read fun with a pencil. Go through drawabox.com

Dont let people tell you that you're too old or don't have "talent". Talent isn't fucking real.

The problem is mostly that you're spending too much time drawing autistic porn on /trash/ and not enough time actually studying.
Spend more time on /ic/ than on /trash/ and focus on improving more than getting praise from anons with no standards.

And yet he gets over 2,000 bucks a week from his patreon drawing what he loves while you sit there poor, talentless and useless :)

Yes. Younger me loved to draw and consistently got better at it, but I traded that hobby for the piss-easy dopamine rush from vidya

God made video games for us to play them. I was born enjoying video games. Therefore it is my holy duty to play and enjoy video games.

i rarely ever even want to play anymore

And I don't draw at all for the validation of others and I don't want to draw porn. I drew both of those pictures because I thought they could test my skills.

Attached: unknown-36.png (557x463, 137K)

I'm aware. I don't like myself enough to improve just for me though. Dumb frogposter.

I'm just speaking in general, if you aren't improving you aren't doing everything you're saying you are either.
Try going outside of your comfort zone and drawing things you find particularly hard. Your perspective needs some work for example, and you should study from life a bit more so that you can more accurately translate it the human body to different styles.
I personally recommend reading through "Drawing on the right side of the brain"

Had the same problem. Find some small community of amateur artists where you could share your works. The fact that someone's seeing my shitty art and getting horny was my kickstart for drawing consistently for last 4 months.

Thanks user, means a lot.

So are there any other skills people can learn by themselves at no real cost that aren't drawing?

Story of my life, user.

It's awful but I believe you can improve if you keep trying

This is fucking great user

Papercraft, pixelart or maybe small games development?

I can't into art at all, whenever I try I just feel lost and like I'm not making any progress. It doesn't help that digital and paper are two wildly different things and properly doing digital is a huge pain in the cock.

>Just draw circles lol

Naaaaaahhh that's so fucking boring

kronprinz? yeah, looked real convincing to me

Yes, but it's too late for me.

It's probably the most cost effective one.

the draw is good user but for the love of god don't use that noise filter. i know what you're trying to acomplish but there's other ways

>drawing
>productive
I wanted to draw to work from home doing commissions for total degenerates if I got good enough. I've tried to start learning several times, always give up after a few weeks though. Same for learning Japanese. Consuming media is all I'm meant to do, at least it's a relatively inexpensive life.

I would highly advise you to go to /IC/ board and the Alternative Art/Stylization thread. Judging by your art you would absolutely be perfect fit there. Also as for criticisms it does look a tiny bit too grainy but if it's the intention it is solid. The arm can be a little bit more 3D looking.

I understand the idea but I really don't want to draw a bunch of Popeye clones.

Who's that your boyfriend?

I just released an album 2 weeks ago and just started recording another with another band, I'd say I manage my time well enough.

Definitely mess around with that noise filter.. at the moment it's really distracting. probably needs more subtle colours. Awesome stuff though.

yikes bro

but as an artist myself i can see that he doesn't lack any rendering skill. he just is too scared to make something appealing himself. He is lost in the shadow of his giants

That deviant art post is on the money lol. He's talking about himself

noice

fame no but money yeah.

yeah but you wont post it

No but I regret wasting time on Yea Forums

I unironically see a potential. Not a joke. Just start drawing more, read/watch tutorial stuff and the most important thing: >draw for fun. Draw autistic caricatures, funny and absurd shit. The guy who made One Punch Man and Mob Psycho100 didn't know how to draw, but got successful through creativity and good imagination.
It's never too late to start and it can be very satisfying and fulfilling. I myself used to draw when I was younger, but dropped the hobby after starting to attend art school. Haven't touched a pencil for six years and regret it. But I got back into drawing recently and having an amazing time. Wish I did sooner.

This is what makes me quit every time. I can't draw what I want to draw and see it slowly improve if I learn "properly", I have to spend 6 years practicing anatomy by drawing boring shit and then maybe I'll draw at the same level as a random twitter artist. Maybe. If I had that amount of dedication I'd put it towards pursuing something that made me tons of money instead.

Thanks, I've had people tell me that if I could get more involved I could further myself, but at the moment I want to get my degree finished and maybe focus on something that isn't just vidya all the time.

I always enjoyed drawing, but I think I could go further.

It's nice to draw for a small community, even if said community is dying at an alarming rate.

first you gotta believe in yourself

art's so gay hes fucking drawing anime shit how is that any better than vidya it aint art its drawing shit

Join a small community, genuinely it doesn't have to just be artists. Even if your drawing is complete crap, there can be people out there to still tell you to keep it up. Learning is a growing thing, something YOU have to improve and having some people to cheer you along helps the way.

I'm 26.
I used to draw a lot in school, but I pretty much stopped as soon as I hit 18. I was never good at realistic art, mostly did cartoons.

Is it too late for me?

yes. i have been there. its insanely terrifying. a lot of artists start to win back their place in society out of shame of living with their own weaknesses and shortcomings. but guess what, becoming a true artist you have to use your own weaknesses and shortcomings. it takes a different kind of person or at least a more mature one to be capable of that, and in the end it doesn't always happen while you're still interested in drawing/painting/digital/anything art related.

life's hard and reroutes people willly nilly

How big is your tablet? If you got one of the smaller sizes the disconnect from what you draw to what actually appears will fuck you up hard at first.

Because it's the best type of cartoon art.

Pretty sure the saying is 10,000 hours to master something.

when mmo's were huge everyone wanted porn of their own character, it's too bad really.

>tfw I got a copy of keys to drawing over a year ago and still haven't started yet

Of course not, cartoons are awesome too. Just keep improving in what you like to do and don't give up.

What people see as productive from others, is likely something they enjoy doing. Its lazy for them, but they are lucky enough to make money, or something out of it.

Is that the loli from The Professional?

No. If I could I'd create clones of myself to perform all of the different tasks of interest and upload them to a collective, shared mind of mine.

Life's already structured in such a way that you ALWAYS miss out on something. Whether it's games, movies, music, skills... You just can't do everything. It'd help if nature wasn't such a STUPID BITCH that removes gained skill over time if not constantly practiced one could move on from one field to another. Additionally it'd help to not start completely oblivious and incompetent into a life.

The only thing I really regret is all the ongoing manipulation in the world and that the lowest of lows seems to become a standard because of the ignorant masses invading into habits and hobbies of others and ruining these with their mediocrity and ignorance.

/ic/ are such fucking snobs. The only comfy places on that swamp are the meme threads and Alt art

This is something I end up having. I get caught up in my paranoia but I have learned to just say "fuck it" and get it done. Honestly it's all about giving an hour of your time a day.

I only regret about a few hundreds of hours spent on League of Legends. All the other I've played vidiya deserve time spent on them because it gave me inspiration which boosted my art gains.

The ending is kinda stupid.

Its false equivalency.
Practice will make you great. If you're great at it, you'll get a huge gig.

While that may be true, but if the artist is stupid in their politics(social skills) and can't work with anyone, or no one wants to support them, or the bad luck of the draw and actually meeting shity people. You wont get an orchestra.

There are a million of variables to take into account.

But if you take the clear cut goal of 10k hours of practice will get you this arbitraey level of skill in your profession. Sure.

The thing about the chess players difference. The fuck was that? What else was there to their teachings? Did the guy take 26 years to reach an understanding of a move, that the 2 year practitioner was luck to find in one? Did the 26 year old forget something in the heat of the moment of competitions? Is that his error? Did he learn it?

To know this. Both men would have to lay out all their cards of what lesson they learned and at what time they mastered it.

So many variables

Learning how to draw takes too much time

is there a version of this image with better resolution?

Could someone please explain to me how I use art programs? I have to zoom it in to have enough room on the canvas to draw properly, but at that level of zoom everything goes to pixelshit. I had this issue in Clip Studio Paint and wound up just having to do retardedly massive resolutions, is that the idea?

Look at the amount of detail put in on everything but the actual body. The wrinkles on clothes, the gun, hilts, sheathes, belts and hair. The face is the foundation of any character or person, but it's, as usual, not seen as if it even matters. So much so, it's less than even an after thought.

This thread says how to get better but how do I start.

How does one git gud at hands. I've improved a bit since I started trying, but that was a while ago

listen, when it comes to full effort studying, most people only get on average, 15-20 minutes of true focus. So take breaks, and realistically expect that starting out you'll only be able to really gain something from the first 40 to 60 minutes of study, anything else afterwards is actually just tires spinning. At that point you just wanna draw whatever you feel like drawing.

you don't

Draw your left hand as it's sitting right now. Right now.

Look for an explanation on how the wrist and forearm rotate as well.

For the basic steps, literally just draw shit. Draw a cube and try to make the sides straight and even. Trace a line and try not to make it a squiggle. Draw a large circle with your eyes closed and make it look like a circle and not an utter failure. People who arent used to their drawing medium couldn't make decent art if they tried because even if they can think of an image perfectly in their head, putting it down on paper (or whatever) every line and angle is off by 15% or more because they can't even move the pencil (or whatever) the way they want it to.

After you can draw a circle and make it a circle, then you should bother with shit like getting an artbook.

>How dare people want approval from other people. What are you a social creature?

It's always the shitty artists who say they don't need anyone and treat people like the movie Whiplash. You never hear the actual succesful people going alone and doing everything by themselves. They've all cried in their moms arms when they didn't get a part at some point. People need support from other people.

Success is a ladder and very few people want to work their way down.

Expand your tastes, helps you find out what you like in art and apply it to your own. “Fun with a Pencil” by Andrew Loomis is a good springboard to introduce you to a lot of concepts useful for drawing.

Learning anatomy will teach you proportions, muscles and bone structure etc. This stuff is invaluable when stylizing art because it determines whether or not it’s pleasing to look at.

I learned my lesson in trying to make a living off of a hobby I enjoy. Not trying that with art.

You have to draw anime girl with something, that something require visual library.

in the beginning it literally doesn't matter what you draw as long as you're drawing all of the time. carry a pad and pen with you in your car, draw on napkins at restaurants or on lunch break. Draw for big breasted anime girls or whatever fun and study academic proportions for practice.

I still have my how to draw anime books from the early to mid 2000s.
One of them actually was on proper human anatomy and helped a lot.
But the major thing that helped was tons of practice drawing random shit from different perspectives.
It's easy to draw a front or side profile but hard when it is not so direct.

You have to just be really good, there are a lot of artists who plateau everyone does. Believe it or not you can't just exponentially get better at something.

Some people are born with the innate ability to progress further and faster than other people.

Drawing is really easy. As long as you take the effort to just copy shit, watch videos on how to draw in full value.

Making new designs with proper color and shading is where it actually gets hard.

>drawing for the attention and judgement of others

that's the problem, if it looks bad then am I really having fun? no

this dude's art is the epitome of soulless. How many googly eyed waifs can someone draw before they want to kill themselves?

How old are you?

without any creative outlet life boils down to watching youtube videos and chasing pussy (if you're a chad) and working all the way to the grave. Making things gives life meaning and reaffirms your own existence.

Why bother learning how to draw when you could commission an artist for less than an hour's pay?

Ironic

Your perspective is way off, the cockpit is like a straight on side view while the rest of the jet is tilted

6 years and still a shit artist.

I tried to get good at art once, but I have the shaky parkinsons meme hands. No matter how hard I tried, I could never improve that.
Having unsteady hands really does suck, you're shit locked out of jobs that require precision work with your hands/fingers too. Can't be a surgeon if you're 100x more likely to fucking slip and stab your patient in the heart oops sorry my hands are shaky

you almost certainly won't need to pay more than $200 unless you're commissioning furry porn or some niche shit like that

Ok so the cockpit area is the only one that looks off so far? Gotcha

And that's perfectly fine.

From scratch or you had a bit of practice before?

I mean. Figure drawing get buried on your head.

What's your favorite dish?

/ic/ is too fucking autistic. They'll cling to their books like a bible and if you try to have fun and draw anything other than naked people in dramatic lighting they just won't give you advice and instead tell you to learn how to draw the fucking naked people in dramatic lighting.

any dish that has pork belly because its the tastiest but very unhealthy

After Halo 2 came out I was so horribly disappointed that I gave up video games entirely for years. Got into movies, music and all kinds of pretentious shit.

First game I played since my hiatus was Persona 4 on the PS2, and that was it.

Walking a line between super faggot secret weeb and pretentious hipster trash is hard

Not bad actually. I don't see too many tris except for maybe on top of the spheres. I was afraid you just boolean'd the holes on the side but they look fairly decent from what I can see. You could definitely stand to reduce the polys on the buttons and maybe the balltop, though I don't know what your plan is for this model.

Doesn't look all that high poly to me, are you going to reduce it even further for the final model? Good job regardless though. Did you hand cut those UV seams? That's always my least favorite part of modeling shit.

>From scratch or you had a bit of practice before?
bit of practice but so little its a joke. why?

>I mean. Figure drawing get buried on your head.

what do you mean?

I bet you break your pasta too faggot. Don't ever let me catch you here ever again.

I know that feel.
We're all gonna make it.

>Not bad actually
Thanks, and there is no tris. This was my first real attempt at making something on my own without watching or reading tutorials.

>tfw will never understand the memes of smaller boards that keep to themselves

Thats not a bad skill user. Invest your skill points on it.

My bad, I mean symbol drawing.

Sauce on this Maldraw dude?

Thanks, now I feel like shit.

>want to get good at art so I can draw character portraits and locations for my D&D campaigns instead of stealing stuff from the internet
>haven't improved at all since I started and practicing eats into my campaign prep

Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

No user. It's not possible for everyone to make it, some of us will fail, you might fail. Some of us won't make it, you might never make it.
Don't shy away from this truth, cast your eyes upon it and accept it. An assured victory is worthless, it's only because you risked failure that it can be considered a triumph. To say otherwise is to delude yourself into complacency and doom yourself forever.
With all this said, I do truly hope you can do it.
