HI there, I literally am the only person who can not improve from art. I've tried for years and I can't improve. I'm the rare person who can't ever get better at art no matter how much I practice.
Is there hope for me? I've tried and tried, but to no avail has anything worked.
You're not either not practicing right, or not practicing hard enough. Don't mindlessly copy, try to apply lessons to personal work, read the sticky.

If you keep doing the same mistakes over and over again you'll keep doing the same mistakes over and over again.
Can you make a living as an illustrator while keeping your personal life out of it? It seems like internet is filled with weird nerds who like to invade people's personal lives the moment they do or say something they don't like.
I'd like to make some cash on the side with my illustration, but I don't want people going after my facebook or my friends or knowing who I am.
>>2299171
LOL no. your work only has as much value as you manage to inflate it into by self promoting and become an e-celebrity.
>>2299171
Create a fake persona that almost anybody can like.
>>2299171
Simply operate under a pseudonym. It's been working for me so far. Just be careful not to have any connections to your rl information whatsoever. Don't put your real name on invoices and be careful not to give out TOO specific information and bam. I draw porn, so I don't want this coming back to me at all. I'm so paranoid, people aren't sure if im male or female-- which suits me just fine.
im looking for interesting shape languages to study

You're not supposed to symbol draw.
artist of the generation?
>>2299018
I am triggered by that shoulder
he has impressive turd-polishing skills though, can't deny that
>>2299022
nah it looks good
Basically, if you keep doing the same thing, you become good at one single thing. No more.
I'd call him "100 sameface portraits painter of the generation" easily.
I have read tons of Loomis but I still don't get how you are supposed to draw figures in extreme perspective angles. There was something about arcs of movement, but even there it was said that you should try to draw them until they "feel right".
It it really the case that you first memorize anatomy and then based on that knowledge try to imagine how it would look like in perspective and keep drawing and fixing until you will gradually learn to draw it right?
>>2298888
To clarify I meant drawing from imagination, not real life where drawing what you see is enough so long as you can get in the flow.
>>2298890
Also I know about perspective already and that figures should face the vanishing points/eye level etc.

I'm not really in a position to comment considering I've only just started with figure drawing, but it seems like thats the case. You figure out box/spherical/cylindrical forms and how they look at any angle and pair that with an understanding of proportion...

Have you been thinking about stopping the whole thing? Like, we will die, all of us. Why should we go for that suffering and go through all that hard ass shit. If you really want to enjoy life, just draw mediocre but enjoyable art. There is no reason to force that pain upon yourself, as I said, you will die eventually, what's the point of improving your skills?
Expressing the suffering in the pointlessness maybe even giving the tools needed to rise above the suffering of the mundane.
Art isn't about getting good, is that why you play games?
>>2298453
because other artists are thinking the same thing
>>2298453
Whats the point of learning anything then? Pretty dumb thread.
Just did this. looking for some feedback.
boring
maybe a good still panel in a comic
Well done.
>>2298313
face looks bad imo as well, too uncanny and theres some sort of angle or perspective error that im not gonna spend time figuring out
It's this good enough for an indie fighter?
>>2298301
good? no.
good enough? probably.
Study some pixel art tutorials as well as anatomy. A dedicated pixel art forum like pixeljoint would be best for you.
>>2298301
depends on how it's animated
if you animated dog shit well you could have a decent fg character
>>2298383
Right now I quit on the idea of even animating this, is too much effort.
Right now I just want to download spriter and see what I can do.
I'm not even a pro artist and I'm hoping some coder will help me.
What are good masters to study portraits from? I only know Sargent.
>>2298238
It really depends what style you like and what qualities in art you value. Personally I like people such as Van Dyck, Velazquez, Kramskoi, Serov, Repin, Franz Hals, Boldini, Rembrandt, and Freud. Do some research and see what artists you like and what time period they are from--usually there are other artists from the same school or country that have similar styles.
>>2298238
van gogh. he was the greatest portraitist who ever lived :( he's also the hardest to study.
>>2298260
I like asian school ruanjia, weifeng, hgj
Anyone have good tutorial on how to make something like this ?
>>2297894

>>2297894

>>2297894
Here is a short tutorial:
1. Transfer $100 to my paypal
2. The finished image will materalize itself into your inbox after a few days, as if by magic
How do I fix perspective here without changing it too much

/ic/, is there any market at all for non-sexual character based commissions?
I'm in a bit of a deadlock right now because there is nowhere in town I can get a job (you can't get a job without experience but can't get experience without a job) and am thinking of starting to do commissions. Problem is I'm still living with my parents, who are rather prudish, abd they monitor my bank account, and sexy (not always porn) art seems to be the only thing that sells. If I draw "hot" women I'm sexist, if I draw "hot" men I'm gay,...

Yes there is, especially for no-talent writers on Tumblr, but you should be open to tasteful nudes. Write up a commission sheet that specifies your dos and donts, as well as prices, and shop it around.
>>2297447
I think they'd be concerned that people would be jerking it even to "tasteful" nudes. I'm worried they'll think I'm a failure if I "resorted" to drawing teh secks.
>>2297445
if i was living at home i would be saving 500€ rent a month. holy fuck would i filthy rich.
fucking jelly mate.
Does anyone know how backgrounds like this are made? Photobashing or something else?
>>2297256
18 hours work days and minimum wage
>>2297259
that takes 3-4 hours tho. maybe even less.
>>2297256
Filters, CGI. The background is pretty simple. A lot of it is done in AE.
Hi /ic/ don't you think modern art is about to die?
>>2296944
art never dies, only changes
>>2296955
But War, War never changes.
>>2297154
NO
