>>2287100
Kind of, I've been slowing down since last year with drawing. Almost to a halt since my iguana died earlier this year. I don't practice enough or take the time to learn how to properly draw hands or eyes. I'd like to break into doing comics or animation, but that's been looking like it'll remain a dream for me. It's almost like there's no point to it anymore.

No anon that is POST ANIME. Anime with cartoon influences means you are not a weeaboo fag anymore instead you are enlightened to new refined anime that looks almost exactly the same.
>>2287278
Your value statement should be pretty balanced early on. Sure you may make some subtle shifts in value at hour 25, but you should have it still be 95% balanced in the first few hours. Rendering is mostly detail and edges.

>>2287365
Watch the proko video tutorials and then go back to fun with pencil. Proko uses similar methods to Loomis anyway but he summarizes it nicely.
I also think Fun With Pencil is shit compared to other Loomis books but I guess it's the most accessible.
>>2287371

>Post anime
>Anime with cartoon influences means you are not a weeaboo fag anymore
No, it's western cartoons coming full circle in the WORST form. Rather than take inspiration from older cartoons (which would make their work look better), they take inspiration from what the Japanese morphed western cartooning into ie anime. It's still weeaboo faggotry.
>>2287458
I wouldn't sweat it, people have some retarded standards for progress on this board and they seem to assume everyone's putting in a 40 hour week studying art.
They look at exceptional examples and pretend that's the average.

Drawing is more fundamental and important than painting. If you want to use a dumb food metaphor drawing is baking a cake and painting is putting icing on it.
>>2287769
being shit as in people getting more commissions from pony OCs and vore, or cause so many good artists, a dime a dozen isn't that big of an exaggeration?
>>2287503
Being a pro artist has nothing to do with circlejerking with a group of borderline autistic mfers online. It's actually the amateur hobbyists pretending they are pros because they have a small fanbase who circlejerk online.

Thx bro
>>2287865
Loomis is just a meme that's been endlessly parrotted to the point that newfags unironically believe in it. Sitting down and trying to draw with a Loomis book is setting yourself up for boredom and frustration.

This part. The impossibility of breaking in because apparently the industry is oversaturated with decent artists willing and able to work for peanuts.
>>2287883
I think he meant that when comparing himself to Loomis his stuff looked like shit.
>>2286934
I want to help the people in my class who are struggling by sending them a bunch of links to Loomis, Scott Robertson and CA.
would that be rude?
>>2287899
Why don't you just post your work already and that'll tell us if Loomis is just a meme or not.
>>2287899
the Loomis 'meme' was just people recommending him and no alternatives.
His books are great introductions to fundamental skills, but they are not encyclopaedias on everything to do with art and figures.
>>2286990
>They don't know my le funny 4chan memz le newfags XDDDD
>>2287925
This. That and there is no "one-size fits all" method of learning drawing. It's best to learn from a wide variety of sources.
Loomis methods work for a lot of artists but obviously not everybody.

>>2287974
this feel...i know this
>>2287974
instead of saying you "draw" just say you are studying art, or say nothing at all. It's like if someone told you they play guitar instead of practice guitar. You naturally assume they have some skill in it since they thought it was worth mentioning.
>>2287974
I'm the opposite I avoid telling anyone that I draw
>mfw nobody knows I am learning to draw vanilla loli

A meme as in it's said a lot? Ok, but there's a valid reason for saying it.

I feel kinda bad regardless if a piece is good or not. But if I had fun doing something I have no problem showing them. Most folks understand you cant be awesome at it straight away.

Nigga, art takes years. count in terms of years and six months that's where you'll find progress.
>>2287899
>Loomis is a meme and no one enjoys drawing it.
Thats because no one goes through the fucking books or actually grinds out studies. They take a look at Fun With a Pencil and think the head exercises are retard and either won't bother with the rest or get frustrated because they skimmed over most of the book and aren't ready for the other exercises.
Then they come to /ic/ and shit post about how it's a bad resource when they're actually just too lazy to put effort in.
It's not supposed to be super fun, its supposed to teach you how to construct basic human forms and think better in 3-D you fucking retard.
Most art classes or similar books follow a method that's usually based on or inspired by Loomis anyway.
Stop symbol drawing, learn proportions, use spheres to figure out forms, basic anatomy and drawing. That's what it's teaching.
Stop pushing beginners away from the sticky, its more than helpful.
People should use around 3 different resources when learning construction/anatomy and Loomis is one perfectly viable option.
If it's too difficult they should go back to Drawing on the Right side of the brain and practice drawing what they see from life.
>>2287132
No no you want them to see how shit you are. They'll look at your username and think "wow that guy's so bad" and everytime you post something they'll keep thinking "ugh god why does he try" and they'll remember who you are. Then some years later, you're gonna post art again and it's gonna be fucking beautiful and they're gonna look at it, and look at your username, and think "damn, they made it"
Alternatively, you moron, they're not going to give a shit because there are crappy artists everywhere and nobody worries about them.
>>2287458
its shit because it's pretty obvious that you spend a majority of your time rendering and coloring your drawings and very little time actually drawing them. Don't color until you learn how to actually draw. Your perspective and other basic fundamentals are insanely lacking.

Better to spend more time on a drawing and have it come out better than to rush it and have it come out garbage. Quality over quantity. Just draw more often and your speed will increase gradually.

it's because of sleep. while we are sleeping, the brain reorganize everything from that day, temporary memory, in a longer lasting memory, while freeing the temp. mem. for new shit
that's way one which drew 14 hours in a day, but just that one day of the week, is gonna be shittier than one which drew 2 hours everyday, it's dividing the information into more sleeping periods. at this apply to everything, not just drawing

Angles of straight lines, more specifically. I wear really strong prescription lenses and it fucks up my perception, especially from drawing from life.
When I draw vertical lines and flip the canvas, they're veering to the side. And when I'm looking at say, a sexagon shaped fountain, it's extremely difficult to recognize and draw the subtle shifts in planes.
I hope actually studying perspective will remedy this. Or switching to contacts.

I experience something similar but its always on the left side of my brain in two spots and makes me wanna vomit. It happens when studying a weird foreshortening or perspective.

How can I impress this qt with my art skilz.
She's a fucking goddess pls help.

By not making promises you can't make? Just play it cool and show her some "normal" stuff. I.e. not your 1xxxxth study on naked girls/guys, but just casual city scenes or something.
>>2289527
show her something cool, and then tell her that you can make a painting on her bedroom wall if she wants to. worked for me.
>>2289527
Cut off your ear and gift it to her.
>>2286917
ayyyy. I love that guy.
I don't draw, but watching people draw in real life or on the internet is extremely relaxing and therapeutic for me.
>>2289527
Make a portrait of her, my crush still has her portrait I made her 6 years ago, hanged on her bedroom wall...
Along with my broken heart...
>>2289756
My crush still has a drawing i made of a pokemon on her bedroom wall too, anon. It's been 8 years and i still can't stop loving her overall adorableness and personality.
I fugged up so hard.
>been drawing for the last 12 hours with 2 20 minute breaks to eat
>want to keep going but too tired because I've been up for 20 hours
JUST
>>2289508
That isn't how humans work, senpai.
You work for 25-30 minutes then take a 5 minute break if you want to operate at max or near max capacity. Just do this over and over.
>>2287020
This happens to me too. I figure it's from drawing so many self portraits in highschool and college.
>"are you an art major?"
"No"
Feels somewhat good when people ask that.
>>2289527
>i really like tattoos
dropped, find yourself a better lady m8
>>2289778
It's ok man, just move on like I did. There is another girl waiting for your pokemon drawing!
>tfw you haven't had a real job in years
I might have to starve and hustle my ass off sometimes but its worth it.

That's what I pay my instructors for.
>On pixelovely doing 60 second nude female model gestures
>Customer walks in
>Greet the customer, and begin work
>Boss comes out of nowhere
>Totally forget I left the pixelovely page on my laptop
>Become white as a sheep
>He see's my laptop while he gets something from the desk
>I walk on over and act like nothing's happening
>Thankfully I left photoshop ontop of the webpage with the gesture drawing instead of the nudes

>>2287078
Friendly reminder that everyone who does not start out with copying and working realism does not make it ever, because they're brain is fucked and they can't process and work in a good way, I hope I spared some of you the time.
>>2287467
>tfw when I was pulling 3 months of 40 hour weeks already and now I have my pre finals and have to basically resort to 10 hours for 2 weeks.
I feel like shit because I know this will set me back a lot more than just 30 hours.

This is true, Loomis is not meant for beginners, altough it light get promoted that way, but really he is rather for people who have already put in at least 200-300 hours of drawing.
>>2287881
I was the same, Bridgman has so much more action and feel to him than Loomis, Loomis just seems pretty mediocre really, which he was actually. His drawings that aren't small heads or those classic plain example pictures are referenced anyway, so I don't see a point in him trying to make you draw from imagination.
>>2290193
If I recall correctly Loomis admits to being an unexceptional artist, and that none of his better contemporaries had written any books in such a way so he stepped up.
>>2289179
He is home

>>2290189
If you can't into Loomis you have to be like 5 years-old what the fuck are you saying.
>downloaded a shit ton of books and Vilppu videos

well opening one of those files might help

Read the books.
Watch the videos.
Do the exercises.
Focus on whatever you're the worst at.
You're welcome.
>>2290231
I'm you except I know that I need to be doing the exercises in the books
But I don't. We're not gonna make it unless we fucking do something, that's really all there is to it. Like that stupid Shia Lebouf meme.

>>2290481
I know this feel.
>painting with watercolor

>>2290292
What the fuck is a conic perspective?

Maybe you should stop drawing furry porn, anon.

If you worked as hard as him maybe you would be a good artist.

Bridgman's books are rather poor for learning from. You kind of already need to know what your doing to understand his books, they're just notes from his classes.

story behind this?

1940s Anglicisation.

Romanization, not Anglicisation
