I just want to express my appreciation for the games I love, but no matter how much time I put into practicing I still suck at drawing

Don't give up, you bitch.

maybe if you started drawing your own images instead of posting a wojak every time you'd actually improve.

This. Drawing isn't like playing an instrument where any retard can eventually build the skill to play things even if completely soullesslly. You're either born an artist or not. Sad but true.

It will take you 5-7 years to get to a professional level if you practice daily and study the craft. I went from a casual writer to a professional in that time

Drawing has never been easier. Now you can easily find any reference you could ever need, and even make use of 3D models to immediately visualize the obscurest of poses. And on top of all that, you have access to digital editors which make every aspect of drawing a fraction the effort it used to require. Yet still, it of course requires plenty of effort; it is no surprise lazybone Yea Forumsirgins would rather whinge and complain rather than put in some more time into getting gud. You will continue to fester in your own mediocrity, blaming everything but yourself.

post your work. a lot of what makes art good is actually technical, not emotional: Proportions and Perspective. If you don't get those right you shouldn't worry about putting feelings and emotion into the piece.

Who here has bought a drawing tablet and never used it? Be honest.

Me
XPen Artist 15.6 and they sent me a pro artist instead lol, used it like once

CUNNY!!!!1

Not as much as I would have wanted but got extremely busy in life right after. Sadly I know I won't be anything with it, I'm decent by a lifetime of trying to draw, but the talent amount isn't there. Good in art class but not in the space of the world.

Always drives me nuts though that everyone just says practice, its like no some have a head start and it matters. And we never apply this to art or intellect, yet its obvious with physical activity that DNA plays apart. Nobody 4ft6 is going to practice their way into the NBA, but anything else we just assume someone never tries.

draw with a pencil and paper first idiot

unless it's one of those super big, expensive Wacom tablets that have a screen on them to draw on and are already at the perfect angle, don't bother. small cheap tablets just suck and using them on a computer desk is not comfortable.

>software
Pen or pencil and paper is all you need. But of course if you want to actually make money computer programs are a must, at some point the drawing will have to go on a computer, atleast in the modern pipeline.

>TFW I can draw and paint relatively well
>Enough so that I get paid to do it
>Ostensibly, it should be the easiest thing to just do it, make shit, and make money.
>But the truth is that I actually don't find drawing that fun or enjoyable, at least enough so that if left on my own I'll never really do it at all.

It's a weird reality where I need to force myself to work in order to get better so I can make more money, but the only thing that motivates me to get any work done in the first place is being paid, so if I'm not being paid I just put off working.

Post your artwork

>good guides on how to learn the software
Nigga, what software? You have MSPaint, you have paper and pencil, you can get Photoshop and just hit the B key and you have a brush. There's nothing else to learn. You just make lines on the blank page with the tool.

No it's not, everyone in my family is a talented artist and i struggle drawing stickguys

>a lot of what makes art good is actually technical, not emotional: Proportions and Perspective.
That really depends on how you define "good". I know lots of artists that are extremely technically proficient to the point where they can over-render a painting to absurd levels. But no one really loves their work because they don't connect with it on any real level. In general, if your goal is appeal, people go head over heels for simple, basic stuff that has instant appeal rather than extreme technical acumen.

But again, the point is, what is "good" and who defines it? Who set the definition that "good" means solid proportions and perspective? That may be "good" in that sense, but that's just one criteria or metric to measure by.

you know there's more to it than that, you need to learn layers and go hunt for actual good brushes because the default brushes are trash and you then worry about whether your computer screen is showing the right colors and then you have to learn how to change the program settings to what you want/need. I like MSpaint but you can't even rotate shit on that.

>you know there's more to it than that
There is literally not "more to it" than taking a tool, any tool, and making marks on a blank page. That is the start and the end. Everything else is just fluff.

>and go hunt for actual good brushes because the default brushes are trash
I'm literally a professional illustrator, and 99% of everything I draw or paint uses one single brush, which is a Hard-Round brush with pressure opacity. That's it. Sometimes if I'm feeling saucy or want a little texture I'll use a Chalk brush with pressure opacity. I literally have hundreds of other brushes curated by top-tier artists loaded in my Photoshop, and I don't use any of them because I've never bothered to take the time to experiment with them to find out what they do or how they can be used. Very, very rarely if I happen to be doing something where I need to block in lots of grass or leaves I might use a brush for that, but that's it.

That's like saying you need to buy 100 different pencils and use all of them. Nah, bro. I draw in my sketchbook with cheap mechanical pencils I buy for a dollar a pack.

Also, I know for a 100% fact that my tablet screen is miscalibrated and has lowered saturation compared to the actual color of an image, because every time I paint something I have to adjust the saturation and tweak the colors a little bit on my monitor because it comes out dull. But that's literally a non-issue because...you just fix it. It's not hard.

Feel ya

Art can be either. One can do it with intuition, or do it carefully planned. Both are valid and can reach good results given enough effort.
>t. also drawer

Nigga just open a software and play around with the tools
You don't even need all the fancy tools to make something nice either. Take pic related for example, he works with one brush of varying hardness, uses one layer for the draft and another for everything else, yet he has some pretty good shit. Only problem is that almost all of it is fan art for some male idol gacha.

You don't get the entire set of genetics of your parents. You may be just a recessive mess. But some level of hand eye coordination, ability to visualize and imagine, are 100% genetic. Not every tall person is making it to the NBA either, but sure as fuck nobody short is. Visualization is an interesting one to me as well as its a spectrum, there are seriously people who can't think in pictures at all, there are people who can't recognize faces either. I can promise this will have an impact.

I'm decent at it, but I sunk a lot of hours into in my youth and hit a total wall. In that space having had artist friends I watched plenty of people fly past me on half the effort. I do it because I enjoy it though. Its just a weird thing in life be good at things you hate and modest at things you love and put time into.

come to /ic/

First, if you want to do digital you should start with digital. Starting with traditional is fine, but it's a meme to say you have to do it. The website Ctrl+paint is a good place to start. Check his vids on photoshop and digital sketching. Here's a place you can get the sketching vids for free:
online-courses.club/category/tutorials/ctrl-paint/

Brent Eviston – Art and science of drawing is another good video series that's on there. It's for traditional but you can apply it to digital too.

so no one is going to make it according to /ic/ great

>for actual good brushes
Not op
Any good free brushes for blender/Krita?

You know what every "talented" person has in common? They spend more time practicing than "non talented people".
Even out of /ic/ you can't escape the talent cope lazy fucks use to feel better about their shortcomings instead of addressing them.

Very based pic

Aren't you supposed to draw on paper first and then do the tablet drawings

me for some years

the best way to use /ic/ is for the insane amount of resources you can easily find there
anything else is probably a waste of time

"Talent" is not the inborn ability to just "be good", it's the ability to devote the time and energy necessary to reach that point. In other words, "talent" is discipline.

No. Discipline is discipline, talent is talent. If your definition was true you wouldn't be able to say someone has talent in one craft and not in another, it would all just be the same nebulous "talent" that can apply to anything and everything.

I’ll do my best to describe it, but have y’all got that feeling where your artwork looks terrible throughout the drawing process and suddenly everything clicks and it looks great? Again, it’s hard to describe, but I feel lots of beginner artists get stuck during this process and lose motivation like pic related.

No no, people recommend you go to /ic/'s sticky, not the threads

Lesson one, shape, draw the shape of an object,worry about the inner detail after, and to help you get in the right headspace, those lines you draw, those are just basic shading, that's why you only draw one line on one side when you draw a nose, that's the shadow, just basic af because cartoons tend to have varying degree of realism, so the get basicer and omit detail.

I have tried to get into drawing 3 times in my life. I gave up each time. I just can't do it. Shit's not fair.

>I gave up each time
yeah thats why you didn't get good dipshit. The core of getting good at anything is not stopping.

you've described a lot of if not most online communities centered around creative stuff.
nobody in them knows what theyre doing, theyre all n00bs that will end up dropping the craft sooner or later. just keep focusing on yourself and ignore places like that

learning the process is a whole other beast in itself. If you're a real beginner the final thing will always look worse than the beginning, cause you didn't catch a wrong proportion in the sketch phase or the pose wasn't very dynamic to begin with so it looks stiff and boring in the refined line phase. So if that's happening to you either you're not a beginner or you don't see mistakes that are still there.

Never, and i repeat, NEVER GO THE FURRY/PORN WAY, sure you will get a lot of money, BUT THE COST IS IMMENSE, you will end up searching in the darkest pits of hell for that specific fetish the guy wants YOU to draw, seriously please, i dont think anyone likes drawing realistic literal shit or stuff like that, and no "i will just draw anything" doesnt work, you HAVE to demonstrate what are you capable of first, BUT DO NOT AND PLEASE FOR FUCK SAKE DO NOT TAKE THAT WAY IN ART

I'm not expecting to draw the mona lisa after two years, but I expect at least some improvment. But no, still shit.

Me. felt like trying to draw on glass blind folded.

That's utterly false. Some people are innately better at doing things that others, but everyone has the same potential.

Do you guys recommend turning off pen sensitivity? My friend told me to turn off pressure and that tapering thing programs do. I'm also really shitty but I still end up being way too critical over my own drawings and I end up giving up a lot how did you guys deal with that?

I literally did that face today. I am 28 Yea Forums how the FUCK do I make it?

talent is literally how fast you grow/learn/obtain a skill, nobody ever starts out being great, but it takes someone with talent maybe a month to learn something an average person maybe needs three/ four months, maybe some need longer, by the time the average person learnt the thing, the talented person (if they persist, which they mostly do, cuz it's fun doing something you're good at) already has a serious advantage and prob learned new techniques while others are still on square one. it's all about the time/effort ratio, simply put in one word: efficiency. The more talented you are, just means that you get the hang of it faster and can progress further in a shorter period of time.

You're not wrong, but you can always just refuse commissions for shit you don't want to do
