Whats in your comfort zones /ic/ ?
>>2315072
Floating heads, usually dudes. Futa. Lineart, no rendering or color. That's the shit I doodle when I'm not feeling up to pushing myself.
>>2315072
anatomy, perspective, poses, i'm like the complete opposite of tumblrs, but I can't render for shit so all my stuff looks bad/incomplete.
LOLI SKETCHES

Copying mechs with pen and paper

endless foto studies, not actually finishing anything

Starting to draw and then playing Dark Souls instead.

>Whats in your comfort zones /ic/ ?
Drawing all kinds of crazy characters.
Yes:
Drawing is awesome/character designer.
NO:
Its painful to draw/imagine backgrounds. Also every time i need to draw logo or game menus (after i will design characters) i feel like im an autist with no skills.
I can draw over 9000 characters in 1 day. But i will spend a whole week for drawing 1 logo or background.
>>2315072
Dicks. Used to fill whole sketchbooks with different ones.
>>2315229
show me...
>>2315072
half-finished paintings of dickgirls and space marines.
>>2315072
hands
>>2315072
exaggerated faces, chubby girls, and flat colours
>>2315072
Anything that I can stare at for an extended period of time
Browsing /ic/
3/4 heads to the left
I really need to practice other angles.
>>2315072
Well-endowed female figures with same face, though I force myself to use references, sketches, linearts, renders
>>2315072
Not drawing at all.
I want to learn but it's hard and I try to do different things to keep myself away from draw studies. I need to ask myself few serious question what I want to do in life, I guess.
Drawing my favorite xeno race girls naked and their head is always in the same 3/4 angle :^)
>>2315072
I'm really solid when it comes to linework and cel shading, especially in a stylized manner. But I'm garbage when it comes to rendering things in a realistic manner digitally
Photostudies

Isn't comfort zones actually despair zones? In comfort zones, you basically do the same thing over and over. As a result, your creativity and skills stay stagnant, and you are going nowhere. Eventually, you will be stuck as someone who is mediocre, or worse.
>>2315150
I'm the opossite of that. My rendering is ok but my anatomy and poses look stiff as hell when I try traditional. I recomend you Scott robertson how to render videos for the best introduction for this foundation you can find, what do you recommend for lines and anatomy, friend?
>>2315418
Oh wow, you are that creepy guy who should kill himself
>>2315460
I doubt you know who I am as I rarely post here but happy to creep you out anyways.
>>2315425
Rothko did paintings like this 800 times. This one sold for $86 million dollars
>>2315472
thats shit and i dont care what it sold for or what ppl say
>>2315465
>I doubt you know who I am

>>2315474
I didn't make that OP though
>>2315425
Not really. It's the opposite actually. People who develop a comfort zone get good at something and are having fun with certain subjects. They are the ones who will be hired to work on projects.
Most big clients don't want allrounders who are average at everything, they want experts who are great at their thing. The typical /ic/ philosophy of studying absolutely everything and never dedicating time to really getting good at one or two particular things will leave you mediocre at everything, never good enough to find proper work.

I don't think it's a good idea to make sweeping generalizations like that. There are two competing theories--specialization and generalization of skillsets. As long as you are at a professional level you will get work with either approach. Studio positions often will prefer it if you have more generalized skills, especially for smaller or mid-sized studios. Freelance will often hire based more on specialty. But either approach can get work both freelance and studio, as long as you are skilled and work quickly and can follow instructions.

Of course, but even that way you will still have developed a comfort zone. Comfort zone just means something you are good at and that you enjoy drawing. Every in-house artist who is tasked with drawing a great variety of stuff will dislike certain tasks and feel much more comfortable with others. Having a comfort zone doesn't mean you can't draw anything but one thing.
Fucking faces. I can render a face from imagination but give me an arm and im completely fucked.
If backgrounds than interiors.
>>2315452
I really like george bridgman's way of separating the forms( i use his drawing from life book), i know some figure drawing from vilpuu and anatomy from stephen roger's Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist
>>2315072
misshapen humans standing or sitting at a 3/4ths angle.
>>2315072
Army dudes in heavy clothing to cover anatomical mistakes, cars, and bikes.
Not doing anything
Every time I do something I try to challenge myself
>>2315202
This. I love to draw a bunch of characters doing normal stuff but if you ask me to place them in a background where they are realistically occupying the space and start to draw squiggly not-confident-at-all lines that shows minimal info about the space they're in.
faces, constantly. always gesture drawings, i kind of hate that it's all i draw. sometimes hands
Definitely not gouache.
FUCK gouache.
Holy shit.
'It's just opaque watercolour'.
IT'S SATAN'S JIZZ, FUCK IT.
>>2316265
Its a bitchy medium thats for sure.
But it is a good teacher, so let it teach you to mix colors
>>2316265
What gouache did you use? If your problem is how layers re-active with water, then you could try acrylic gouache which makes this problem much easier to deal with.
>>2315472
Gotta be a joke I'm not in on.
>>2316265
I bought a student grade set from easons
and the burnt umber came out of the tube translucent, like clear jelly with bits of brown. It was anything but opaque
>>2315291
are you me? post your art please
>>2315072
To prefix this all, I never go past the sketch stage of anything
>simple mannikins of figures
>thin, young, big bootied women

>shitty boobs
>photo copies
>no lower legs
>no value work
>copies from art books
>never any original work
Basically just slightly above that kid in class that always doodles in the sketchbook but never goes farther. I need fucking help /ic/. What do I do?

I should've expected this.
>>2317936
git gud
>>2315072
everything is in my comfort zone
it's gotta be
>>2317936
i was like this for a period of time
I still stay in the sketching phase, i want to paint but the whole "learn to draw before you paint" thing holds me back. What threshold need i pass before painting becomes viable to me?
Comfort zone. Water color, pencil, pen, charcoal, acrylic, color pencils, crayons, chalk, pixels, wood carving, clay modeling.
Out of the zone, oil paint, carving stones, and rest of the art mediums that i have not tried or attempt. Like to try dry point and etching for printmaking, someday.
>>2318703
What about the subjects?
Line art, line art, line art
>>2315072
Faces
Cartoony character designs
...ponies
>>2315079
Man, really?
I usually find linework really stressful
Rendering happens to be the best part for me too
>>2318117
just go for it man, if you wanna get your sketches at a Da Vinci level before you do anything else you might die without paintig and that's sad
>>2315072

Show us.
>>2315072
I can draw all sorts of monsters, dragons and the likes. It's very easy to me. I used to do those all the time as a kid so I suppose I still have that skill. I could probably make some sort of monster book if I'd give it a serious try, but I doubt I'd feel very satisfied in the end.
The thing is while it's fun and easy it's really not what I want to do nowadays. If I could trade that skill for some others I'd probably do it.
