help me /ic/ I don't know what to do to improve. its been a year since I've started drawing but it feels like i am progressing too slowly.
I know people online say draw from life, but am I really suppose to hangout in a subway like a bum doing drawings too mediocre to show to people passing by?
Right now the only practice i do on a consistent basis is the requests I get from a thread I have on /i/. I never went to school for art or taken an art class. Most of my knowledge comes from things i remember off the show art attack when i was a kid, and also google "how to draw X".
any and all tips appreciated. please don't tell me to read loomis, I downloaded the pdf and got 30 pages in and the only "new" thing I got from it was, and im paraphrasing, "art is hard, don't be discouraged, just keep drawing". Please don't recommend books that have more words than pictures, reading books is torture to me.
If possible, can you tell me some of your favourite drawing excercises to do? I have difficulty putting lines over construction lines without it looking "rigid".
Here is drawing done with construction lines http://orangecast.tumblr.com/image/146215872523
here is drawing done without construction lines and just drew it straight from the get go http://orangecast.tumblr.com/image/147004420573
both drawings I heavily abused ctrl+z to get the lines I wanted but the one where I didn't use construction lines looks a little smoother.
Thanks in advance, I feel like i'm stuck in a rut and the only exercise I know to do is "draw". I use paint tool SAI and a bamboo tablet.

Dude i've been drawing since I was 13 and I'm 25 now, and I'm still learning. Remember that. You never stop learning or improving.
Also, people say read loomis but mostly they mean "Do the exercises in Loomis." So start there, do all of the exercises.
Also don't draw without construction lines. Get off digital drawing and use paper and pencil. Draw loosely,...

You can do it anon!
You can do anything you want and desire.
You dont have to believe in yourself, believe in the man who believed in you when nobody else did!

In about a few months I will be an intern in a social enterprise that’s located in a non-western country. The company crafts bikes that are made from bamboo, which they cultivate and harvest themselves. As an extra, I want to make a small documentary about this, the goal is to make it useful for the company’s marketing. Unfortunately, I’ve got no experience at all and a shitty 8 year old toshiba filmcamera.
Where should I look if I want to connect to film-making enthusiasts, who might even be open to help me with editing?
I still have questions like: What editing...

That's a ton of complicated questions OP, and this isn't the right board anyway. You can ask
>>>/tv/
but all they know how to do is post BANE?
>>2592683
/ic was my best guess, but got the impression that none of the boards are really suited for these questions, which is no problem of course. Thanks for responding bro.

/r/filmmakers off the top of my head
Now reeeeee get off my board and all that
did this at work to try to mix to image together what do you think of it.
Nice. But what is in the top left corner?
Anyone know of a program that'll assign me work and put me under pressure to complete it? Fundies level.

Hey /co/ I'm thinking of making a comic based off of /fit/'s culture. The main character is a dyel who wanders from gym to gym aimlessly (giving me a chance to make fun of planet fitness and cross fit gyms) until he meets Louie, who seems to be hardened and the biggest guy in the gym only for it to turn out that he's just a scary looking but very awkward yet mildly arrogant sperg. It starts simply at first with Louie looking to becoming the strongest power lifter in the world (already being able to squat 400 pounds at 17) and Danny being dragged into adventures...

What do you draw when you don't feel like drawing anything?
>>2589164
I play vidya
>>2589164
force myself with discipline. Its hard.
>>2589164
Have a schedule and stick to it.
Alternatively, read something about art, but really I think it's important to stick to it if you can.
Would you say to a client that you don't feel the spark today?
I need somebody to make some covers for my new album. It should be have somewhat of an Autechre touch or totally it's own. I dunno. Does anybody fancy helping me out?
>>2588822
For free I bet

Wrong board anon - you need a programmer artist or someone who likes patterns/math.
I'd help you out, yeah
give me an e-mail?
Post good tutorials and advice compilations.
What's the value of Dynamic Sketching if you can pay for it? What about CGMA as a whole the other workshops/classes out there? I'm a beginner who's looking for a structured course for learning the most about the basics of drawing in the shortest amount of time. My plans to study in study in LA didn't work out due to issues with travel and living expenses, so I need online alternatives. I have around $3000 in savings I'm willing to spend on art education.

look into the foundation patreon, it's a few concept art guys who were taught at art center and I think some taught there, the teach these sort of sketching techniques along with design, rendering and some other stuff, I'ts much more affordable than cgma and you can get feedback.
check out some john park gumroads. i'm not sure if he added sketches yet but he taught me to do basically what you posted.
