so i had a question, i am making a comic, but i decided the art isnt looking very good, should i try hard to meet my self imposed deadline or should i take a break and learn a bit more (its mainly anatomy not looking the way i want it to and other things.) in either case im still drawing with all of my free time regardless . but which path should i do?
Post an example
If this is your first comic, finish it under the deadline. Learning to keep deadlines and timing your workload are far more important skills for you at this stage. Think of it as a learning experience or a stepping stone for future projects, and no doubt your skill will improve over time as well so don't worry if the anatomy is off right now.

Get the comic done. Your first comic will be shit anyways, but going through the motions is important. You can always go back and fix things or redo them if they are bad, but at least this way you will have a finished product. Delaying making it until you are better will just put things on indefinite hold.
What age are you now, and how good are you at drawing vs when you started drawing?
Do you think you have what it takes?

Seeing as I'm already jealous of this person I've never seen before, I probably have what it takes.
I'm 19 and have been drawing for 2 years i see no improvement. I know it's because I don't draw as much as i should. I can't find the motivation to keep drawing.

Hey /ic/, I need your advice on this.
I am doing a few illustrations for a online comic that will also be printed in a small number. For style of the art we chose collages/photobashed images.
I basically photoshop a collage out of various photos I find online. I build scenes with it. Then I draw over photos to give it a somewhat painted look. So if I go and "steal" an image of a house, it ends up stretched, drawn over and in a different context.
Its not like I only make minor changes. I modify it strongly. That should be ok right?
Or could someone...

this is why i got into art. I always wanted to rip images off of google search and pull them together like a kindergartner.
How do you guys find the discipline and determination to finish a practice piece?
I've heard two schools of thought on this, some people say if you're not enjoying a drawing you should abandon it, others say you should power through.
I find it hard to keep going with something the moment I see a (big) mistake and almost all of my work is unfinished because of it.
Make everything with the intention of widely sharing it on social media.
The idea of sharing an incomplete piece of shit is often enough to power through to something somewhat acceptable. Plus you're posting online, which is always a good thing.
If its your personal work:
> if you're not enjoying a drawing you should abandon it
If its commision or any other payed work
>you should power through

That means you use outer motivation (in your case social media) instead inner (selfmotivation) which basicaly means you are pushing your work for the sake of others.
Enjoy your quiting art moment when it comes.

How does /ic/ organize their art folders?
I have just under 20 thousand pictures saved on to my computer by various artists, and am completely overwhelmed at the idea of sorting them.
I would like to organize them into some kind of reference library, sorted by what it is I want the image for. That alone is daunting enough, but of course many of the images have multiple things i saved them for, ie, line work, general anatomy, maybe just the way an eye or hand was drawn.
How do you guys keep accumulated images sorted?
Stop being a little shit and just organize them in folders. I have one folder named "art shit" then in there I have 5 different folders. "Works in progress" "Scraps" "Completed Works" "References" "More Random Art Shit". It's not fucking hard.
