Working part-time and studying a masters, I know there are people here that probably have even less time and draw more but when Sunday swings around I just run out of fucks. I keep trying to change that but the eliminations prove it's a worthless battle.
I love LAS and I'm getting really attached to the submissions of certain participants but I just lose every two weeks without fail.

>>2390733
Prove it to us then
>>
>>2390721
If your sunday really is fully occupied by some other project and every minute spent elsewhere could cost you, step back. Take a break from drawing. Get you're shit finished. We'll see you in 3 months when you can commit to drawing.

Now, if you could sacrifice a tv show or some video game time but don't want to, re-evaluate the role of art in your life.
>>
>>2390753
Draw more on saturday, split it up and submit half of it just as LAS rolls over into sunday. It's cheating the system, but it's a bad system so who gives a shit.

Why stay in the contest faking posts?

I can draw a lot in one day and skip one week or more. I can cheat the system but, I'll be cheating my progress. Why to stay in LAS this way?
>>
>>2390764
This, you can still watch the submissions and visit the threads if you enjoy the community part of it.
Why cheat.
>>
>>2390754
>We'll see you in 3 months when you can commit to drawing.
That's a nice idea and full of hope, that might just have to be the end result here. I hope LAS is still so strong in a few months time.

>>2390756
I'll try this for now, I guess.
>>
>>2390764
Not him, but it's not cheating if you draw every day going by the GMT time zone. 00:00 GMT is 7p here, so I'd be perfectly justified drawing Saturday from 6:30p to 7p, submitting that, then continuing for more time in order to join Team Forza at 7:30p. In theory I wouldn't have to draw again until Monday at 6:30p, skipping my Sunday entirely. The end result is still drawing for at least half an hour per 24 hour cycle (in GMT) even if the cycle isn't aligned with your local timezone or your personal sleep schedule.

Guys, when did drawing click for you? What made it click? When did you feel "oh damn I'm having fun here creating the stuff I wanted to do, it's all going smoothly wow I could draw all day"?

I keep studying and drawing but I still don't feel as comfortable as I'd like it to be. If I compare to when I'd draw as a kid, back then I had fun and it never felt stressful.

Was it a specific book, study program, etc? Or did you wake up one day with a new fresh and exciting outlook all of a sudden? I feel like, while fundamentals and all that stuff matter a lot, in the end my current perspective and outlook on art matter as much if not more.

I went to class one day and said "lemme draw a picture instead of learning about body part shapes " and I could actually sorta depict what I was trying to

If you're not finding it fun or whatever, try to apply what you've been studying in a picture or whatever you're aiming to use your art for. I think seeing your work in a complete or even semi complete manner will make you feel better or at least let you see what you're currently capable of. Also lets you grasp the bigger picture of what you're studying.
>>
>>2391004
If it makes you feel any better, I struggle with this everyday. I keep wondering why it seems like I'm forcing drawing so much, instead of having fun with it, like you say, like when I was a kid. The other day I managed to have a bit of fun drawing from imagination, i just got in bed with my sketchbook and drew stuff. The next morning I was back at the struggle. I have no idea why this happens, but it's the reason why drawing is so hard for me right now, if I could sit down and have fun drawing my ideas, I'm pretty sure I would be able to quit any other form of entertainment, make it professionally and use all the time I have on this earth to draw as much as I can, but alas, it doesn't seem to work that way for now. I don't know anon, just keep drawing, build a habit, try to draw from imagination everyday, hopefully it clicks for you and me aswell.

>Guys, when did drawing click for you? What made it click? When did you feel "oh damn I'm having fun here creating the stuff I wanted to do, it's all going smoothly wow I could draw all day"?
I've only just started feeling like this recently, and I started a year and a half ago. I wouldn't say that it all "clicks", but things really are starting to come together. I don't hate everything I draw anymore. It's an exciting feeling.

The main thing is that I don't feel lost anymore. I know how to learn now, and am more aware of what I need to improve on and what's necessary for me to do that. I can say that I'm now confident enough to draw pretty much anything.

>If I compare to when I'd draw as a kid, back then I had fun and it never felt stressful.
That's because you weren't seriously trying to git gud. Now it's more of a job. Also kids get inspired super easily.

>Was it a specific book, study program, etc? Or did you wake up one day with a new fresh and exciting outlook all of a sudden?
For me it was pretty much pure mileage improving my skill and building confidence over time. That and I'm now determined to become a comic artist so I'm working hard to reach that goal.

Make sure to just sketch shit for fun occasionally where you don't stress out about the quality. Come up with some characters and stories for fun. Remember why you love art in the first place. Look at work from your fave artists, watch movies, read books, listen to music, or go outside, whatever. Be inspired like you were as a kid.

If you've gotten eliminated or lost a token in the first month just give up now. You're not gonna make it.

this desu baka senpai

If you must know anon I lost my token for a very valid reason!

And I guess you won't make it for a very valid reason too.

jmgn how long does it take you to complete a picture? Looks like a lot of work for LAS.

>>2391264
like having a life, i bet

>>2391268
If art isn't your life then you might as well drop out now.
>>
>>2391272
I lost my token because I had to stay late at work. In 2 weeks I will be starting a new job that has a lot more down time and more regular hours so I can do way more drawing. I'm in it for the long haul
>>
>>2391283
wouldnt have happened if you were team forza
>>
>>2391267
oh its not 'for' LAS Its my normal job I just post it to LAS when im done. Probably takes 3 hours to render something.
>>
>>2391291
What's your normal job? Just commissions? are commissions enough for you to live off of?
>>
>>2390750
This gif gets me wet everytime.
>>
>>2391314
gabe's commissions are realistically priced and he gets a lot of buyers. at the rate he's able to pump them out, it's not hard to believe that he could live off of what he draws, though i'm not sure how much free time he has
>>
>>2391351
who the fuck is Gabe?

it's what the g in jmgn stands for.

How do you check tokens? I need to know how much this submission error bullshit has screwed me over.

Thank you. I needed to submit two yesterday which I did, but apparently only one of them made it through even though it said I was saved.

Now it's making me submit two again, and I'm still not quite sure what's going on here, but whatever I guess.

They've been posting in the alt. style and animation threads. Their sense of blocking and color is terrific.

It wasn't explicit or anything but, yikes.

I was thinking more along the lines of versatile. Does that word have different connotations among artists?

I like it, it spits in the face of Artists who are comfort zoning, like myself.

Hey Lava, TekkyJ here, where I try to submit my work for the day I get this weird error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12000 bytes) in /home/lavaflake/public_html/draw/includes/functions.php on line 95

>>2391599
I don't think it'll be ready for tomorrow. Between making that active challenge thing last night and spending all day drawing I'm behind schedule. I want to have it ready before Friday so the challenges are synced up so I'm pushing for that at the very worst

thanks family. i have been mentioned in these threads once before, and i had a nice conversation about sheep with someone afterwards. i'm sure all of your art is also wonderful!! also there are 8 zeroes.
>>
Lava, where can I find that thing you posted last thread with the squares on the days people have or haven't posted on? I've looked for it on the site and can't find it, idk if I'm being dumb or if it's not linked on the main page yet.

Thanks family

Also it might just be down to colourblindness but I find it a bit hard to see the difference between entries I've seen or haven't. Like how one is grey numbers the other is blue, I feel like making the difference more obvious would be cool.
>>
>>2391697
This is just a prototype so it'll some day look a lot better but I changed it to red, hope that helps
>>
>mmrgl lost a token
you bastard don't you die on me
>>
>>2390730
Yeah, sorry, initially i wanted it to be just a quick sketch (like poon and anon313 do), but it just dragged on and on. Yesterday i rendered the bow on the hat, changed the hind leg of the rat from rough brush stroke to a proper leg with reflected light and rendered the tree limb some more, adding glowing moss and color variety in shadows (saturated purples and blues).
Thanks for pointing out though, i'll do my best to be much faster with the next piece and not be distracted by small details.

>>2390721
Just wake up 30 minutes earlier and do some sketches and studies if you absolutely don't have the time throughout the day. You will even feel better for accomplishing something before the day even started.

>>2391000
Anon, you're gonna make it. I've increased my time form 30 minutes to 4 hours so far, without a job. Time to step my game up.

>>2391004
I feel like i'm on a verge of significant revelation in drawing, something to do with visualizing and thinking in 3d. Also, like other anons said, drawing everyday from imagination helps a ton (in my opinion it's a good idea to draw without any refs for ~1h, it's easier to see your weak points this way).
>>
Hmm, it looks like I'll have the topics ready for tomorrow but I won't have the challenges to go along with it. The site will provide a topic and you'll be able to vote for the next day's topic but it'll take a couple more days to get the new submission system working with the topic challenge.

So you'll be able to use and vote for new topics but they won't count towards anything, at least not right away. It'll take me a couple more days to get the new submission system rolled out. After that it's the tribunal and then the fun stuff like leaderboards, graphs for the challenges, stats on the user pages, etc
>>
>>2391768
I love to lose myself in details, which eats all my time and I end up with a trash piece with a little polished part somewhere where nobody will look at anyway
>>
>>2391785

Did you come up with a name for the topic challenges?
>>
Does anyone follow a study schedule? Trying to follow one due to working full time in a stressful job. I'm shit but been doing daily studies.

I think you should make the weekly challenges study based
Nobody's gonna improve if all they draw is photo realistic portraits all day

>>2391841
What falls under the gay category according to your standards?
>>
How many hours a day do you guys study? Also curious about your schedule Lava, you've been making some nice gains.

I thought being week 1 meant i'm masterrace..
>>
>>2391798
No not yet
>>2391888
I've been all over the place with anywhere from 30 minutes to 14 hour days. I've probably average around 5-6. I just changed my schedule the other day to a much heavier workload so I'll see how that goes
>>2392094
The only option that exists right now is to follow the people you like and split it so they're at the top, Maybe some day there'll be a way to block/ignore/hide people
>>
>>2392103
I don't think he means censoring, but more like a tag, much like nsfw that you can turn on/off
>>
>>2392178
A gay tag? lol.
>>
>>2392105

I thinks it's in order you regiestered, so you're the 100 something user
>>
>>2392094
This doesn't make sense. The only potentially "gay" artwork is what Jmgn and Saucy are doing, and they're using the nsfw thumbnails and if they don't you can report that. I can't imagine there's that much more implied gayness in any of the rest of the submissions that you need a tag to filter it out. If you're looking at people's anatomy studies and you find that gay then you have some issues.
>>
>>2392105
Only the last 10 people left in week 1 are masterrace
