Should I continue or just give up art for good ? I get depressed everytime I see other people sketchbooks, I can't get that good at all.
>>2598074
It would look good as a tattoo
Stop being a pussy, yes you can. Do studies, watch tutorials and read books, work your underpandered-to ass off, and you'll get good. Don't give up if you've gotten that far; imagine all the fucking ink you'd have wasted
>>2598080
I'll try to, any good books that would help ?
More stuff from my sketchbook
May I use pic related as an album cover?
Pls
>>2598104
Seriously ?
>>2598110
Yeah
I like it
It fits my music
>>2598113
Go ahead then, I'd like to hear your music
Got a link ?
>>2598120
Thanks!
I'm not at home right now, will send you a link when I'm at home if I remember
On the verge of getting good.
Quits
>>2598094
this looks like utter garbage. The rest is neat though. Keep going family!
>>2598074
You should be doing art because you want to, if you get frustrated or depressed that easily, then it's not worth it. Also everyone learns at a different pace, and you will have no clue the level of skill behind some of those sketchbook z
>>2598083
Depends on what you want. Michael Hampton's books are good; study drapery too
>>2598074
All of these paintings, these morbid, gothic songs on the canvas that you sang into with paints.
I would buy and hang in my room to freak out the neighbors. Seriously. Keep painting, keep drawing. You just need time and patience if you wish to advance.
some are good, some are awful
you need practice
I think you should continue doing this
STUDIES !
What I thought of when seeing that first picture was this,from an old movie called the Seventh Seal. Stark and iconic. And your others show you have a style together,which is ultimately the goal of the artist:to be definitively You,to interpret the world through your own twisted eye. Advising you beyond Keep Doing What Your Doing is difficult, but I can safely say totally ignore everyone who wants you to bend to some "master's" interpretation of Good. But for Fun,and the accidental education it will provide,you may want to give a spin to designing an album cover or two. And by that I mean find some small band you know of and respect,and find their head shots so you can make a portrait of them with your own stamp on them. Maybe blur their torsos into blackness so some other graphics can be laid over them like the band's name and album cover. Then find random people from the net to practice making portraits of. Be the Al Hirschfeld of goth!

>>2598074
Don't be a fag and just draw, faggot.
>>2598755
hey dont call artists name like fag and all
u know they are sensetive people maybe he will get hurt okay ?
Cool stuff op
>>2598723
I feel that way too.
OP people here seem to have a conception of art that is very academic and stiff. You have a style to yourself, and soul to what you draw, both things I haven't seen very often around here. You don't have to be perfect at anatomy to consider yourself an artist, as long as what you do conveys something meaningful to you and to others. Your work gets to me, and it seemingly touches others as well. That's what art is about.
>>2598790
Bullshit
>>2598775
bait or actual fag ?
>>2598723
More like pic related
>>2598878
explain
>>2598074
Looks like you kinda just don't give a shit about studying and worked for a "style" once you figured out how to fake the form of a front facing head without effort
>>2598881
His art isn't really that impressive and he needs to get studying because it all looks lazy
Anyone knows what's this style called ?
>>2598907
being lazy ?
>>2598886
I don't really feel you.
>>2598113
curious to hear your "music"
>>2598074
I enjoy this picture. It's nice, almost a little Schiele-like.
If there is one thing that we can learn from this thread, it is that art is subjective. I really like OP's art. Others, thinking that every piece needs several hours put into it, don't like it.

I like your stuff OP and your busy lines. Keep going.
Also don't use hitler book >>2598264 , Hogarth and his life was a meme.
I can't really tell if this is true for everyone, but we all feel like this from time to time.
Everything's unfair but find a way to keep going.
>>2599796
>be me
>goes to /b/
>hitler book
>Hogarth and his life was a meme
>wait this isn't b
>>2599922
Fuck off.
Holy shit OP I love your style! Some advice I would give you is try not to compare your art to others. That used to be a problem I had often, and still do since it is an artists' curse, so I stopped seeking it out and just focused on improving my art to something I would like to hang up or talk about. Just focus on moving towards what you like and if you want to compare yourself, do it more constructively then just degrade yourself.
>>2598074
Very nice. I like the way it looks. Keep it up.
While we're being honest, can someone tell me if this looks 3D?
>>2600304
I think whether that looks 3d or not is the least of your worries, anon.
>>2600307
Just answer the god damned question.
>>2600304
Bait ?
because it looks like shit
go the the fucking beginner thread you attention-whoring faggot
>>2601040
calm yo tits bitch u jelly ?
>>2598587
This some of the best advice ever given on /ic/, Fuck.
it takes time to get good, it is an inseparable piece in the recipe of being a good artist.
no amount of crying or whining or anger or frustration or depression will ever remove such an essential piece to success
you just have to draw every single day as much as you can and keep going and learning. eventually youll have amassed enough time to finish the recipe, but until then, you work.
dont even consider giving up an option. if whatever you do makes you feel something then continue with it and put your heart into it. Failure is just a way to help you to get where you want to be. Just have that mentality and youll make great art. and remember to applaud yourself when you feel you have achieved something even if other people dont think so
Kill the thread already

think about the children
Not being a good artist would be the dumbest reason to give up art. Every artist you like was exactly as terrible as you are now at one point.

stfu
This style is cool af want a picture i have done like this
Your art reminds me of my brother's. He has an "art job" (not completely sure what it is he does) so he gets paid for it. Sometimes a certain style even if it is "bad" can be well received.
