Depends on the course. What were you thinking on attending?
And of course it depends on how hard you work.

>Can anyone recommend a decent program to get started with digital art. Preferably
Art Rage if you're looking to emulate traditional media, Gimp if you're looking for free, photoshop if you don't have a budget.

>Also are there any new guides or reference resources I should know about?
That is a very broad question depends entirely what you're looking for. I would recommend looking at some basic introductory tutorials to whatever program you choose.

I was more asking how long does it usually take people to reach their old skill level as opposed to starting from scratch. Sorry I know it's kind of a stupid question but it's a bit depressing when in your head you think you can draw something but then when you try it just doesn't come out like you expect.

By doing the same thing everyone should be doing. Fundamentals to get better, creating new imagery to explore style/ideas.

Its quite creative and asking for critique on that kind of stuff on this board is like paying a 5 year old to kick you in the nuts.
-its gonna feel like a five year old kicking you in the nuts.

I like the way you painted, but not the object itself. It looks shapeless and meaningless to me.

It's not about diversity, it's about cultural Maoism.

>>2399324
it's sorta the opposite of what you said: people look for diversity because they think it's interesting to have change. It's not about "This author is racist because there's no blacks," it's more about "Wow this other author including several different races, all with unique traits. It just seems more random and human to have diversity.

Because they're retards.

>>2392214
No, it's not. Not really

>>2392245
I agree.

yeah right your friend

You dont even need to draw to be an amazing artist of art.
You can use clay, photogtaphs, film, wood, collage i dont care as long as you are creative.
Dont look at the things you can't do, look at the things you can and dont be a sad sack of shit because you cant move a pencil as well as others.

>>2399757
The key to getting over making bad art is to not think, just go and draw. You have to stop thinking honestly. I think everyone feels this way a lot of the time, but if you put more time into drawing and being ok with making stuff that won't be good at first, then you're on the right track to actually getting good.

If you get hung up on not wanting to make bad drawings that it cripples you from actually drawing, then I promise you you will never make any improvements.

Just draw, simple as that.

>>2399757
This is literally why most people fail. You have to be willing to make shit for a sold 2-5 years.

All the time you spend complaining about it, wishing you were better, you could be drawing more shit.

>I'm too old to not have a body of work
No your not. You don't deserve to have a body of work... you haven't actually done the work.

nice thread OP

it'd be a shame if something happened to it.

It would actually be pretty nice to see the other side of the dunning kruger effect on here from time to time.

it exists, i wouldnt say its that big of an effect.

Nobody is going to agree because people can't agree on a definition.

I think people who argue that natural aptitude doesn't exist at all are delusional. It feels to me like this "talent is a myth" idea stemmed from people losing patience with unskilled people saying "I'm not talented and that's why I'm bad at art."
Lack of talent is no excuse, you can always accomodate for not being 'a natural'. That doesn't mean talent doesn't exist. Some people just find shit more intuitive than others. Maybe art in...

Yeah, good job setting that kid up for future failure.

that OP got no talent and should be banned from /ic/

The cunt is a programmer he has no say in the art side of things.

Any professional artist will tell you otherwise, and those are the people who've actually made it.

Also another thing i'm not understanding is how the pelvis works when you're in the air, I know when you're grounded the weight bearing leg makes the pelvis tilt in a certain way, but when you're falling/jumping I don't know how leg positioning affects the pelvic tilt

btw this pic right here is what I was talking about in the op, crazy perspective and pose

Your first mistake is studying league splash art. Riot cares more about flare then proper anatomy. That's not to say their art is bad mind you.

I'm definitely aware that some of the artists anatomy isn't the greatest at times, but they're still awesome to learn from since the poses are usually very dynamic.

btw all the new poppy splashes that came with the rework are amazing.

>>2399065
why tho

What exactly do you not understand?

Just look at hot models on Google, see how the men and women are like, exaggerate some features (smaller waist, wider hips on females, prominent adonis belt on males, bulge and breasts, etc)
