>this is the fate of all who are obsessed with coomMan, i am not shocked.Aren't you jewish btw?
>>7147864>this is the fate of all who are obsessed with coom>Man, i am not shocked.I would say pic related is more the fate. Worship and "perversion" of the ideal. Worship of Perversion.>Aren't you jewish btw?Yeah. Well yes and no, my mother is not. My father is. I'm not considered Jewish by the Chosen people for this reason. I'm not terribly bitter about it, but this kid was full jewish and was legitimately a good friend of man and considered full blooded jewish because he had a Bar mitzvah. I respect Judiasm and even tried to fuck with converting to Orthodox Christianity, I have faith, I just don't believe there is a god so >>7147781 it would all feel too phony.
>>7147798>>7147784You mean, what a lack of fear of hell does to a motherfucker? >Quick Russian Lesson : (pic related) I don't believe a mortal can totally perceive the One without going insane.Don't go moral high grounding me. I've read revelations and some of the new testament. In fact, I consider the following passages to be the earliest form of recorded reiki: 25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”It's power is lost in the english translation but in russian I felt it. дyх бeз вид и cлyх виды из мeня дyх...SPIRIT...бeз...WITHOUT.. вид...SIGHT...и...AND...cлyх...SOUND...виды...EXIT...из...OUT...мeня...ME Chills. Definitely the fact that the very words of Christ means he single-handley binded all his schizophrenia induced by the (3 years in the desert) He curses the fig tree because he probably survived off them in the desert, and once attaining (what he percieved as) union with the Almighty, Avatar in human form, he could essentially command and bind white magicka to his very speech, hence the WORD is the LORD and the WORD is GOD. To see a full grown, affable, jewish carpenter figuring out how to heal lepresy with primitive weed oils, isnt genius, its fucking history documentated, and must have rocked everyone socially at the time.That's the Jesus I aspire to, to heal the /ic/, bring me your schizos, and say, I shall heal them.

>>7147745if you collect a thousand pictures for refs, and then start a project, you will constantly look for the perfect refs, and get frustrated for not finding it. Instead, when you dont have a project to work on, use your refs, if you collect them, to redraw then.Some parts from the ref will remain in your brain, and you will be able to pull them when you need on a current project. Like an AI which used a thousand pictures to learn, and when its time to draw it mashes them up into something new,>go out of your comfort zone, draw cars, flowers, architectures, statues, furniture, trees, rocks. Everything will teach you something new, and when you will return to your comfort zone, what you learned will help you pass any current stagnations.>any line you draw from your ref, imagine going towards infinite, both ends. It will help you see easier the angle, see if its aligned with anything, and you will be able to use that something to put it into space, and, by making the line longer than it actually is, it will come more beautiful, straight, have better line weight>box in inside a box anything you are drawing, The upper, lower, rightest, and leftest parts of it will show the size of the box. Use the box for seeing negatives spaces, see where your infinite lines connect to the box, and use those 2 techniques in combination to correctly construct your ref>use the box and infinite lines techniques for breaking down all your refs, after a while, when drawing from imagination, you will be able to use those same techniques to make something on your own. If you dont have an idea to start from, draw a box and divide it with infinite lines a few times, and the go from there. An horizontal lines on the upper part of the square can be the horizontal line from somebody looking down, an inclined line can be the center line of a figure in motion, and depending where you place it on the square, you can have different effects
>>7147948Lovely pixelwork!
>>7148287Beyond great advice, thank you I will take your advice to heart, the infinite line thing is amazing.
>>7147745>Start drawing fake pokemon cards and trading them with other people.Do kids do this anymore? We had a whole elementary school group doing this c.2000-2005. The "good drawers" as they were called, were gods. In high school, mostly doodled, too tired to do anything more creative, same in college. Have only started studying as full fledged adult. I blame poor art education but a late start is still a start.>NEVER HAVE TO DRAW NSFW AGAINi find it to be good practice but it's hard to motivate yourself to do a finished piece that you can't show most people without hiding behind six proxies; nudes or pinups you have more flexibility but even those you're not telling a story unless the story is that you're horny. Great practice for feeling the form of course... I would like to do a one-shot ero manga at some point as a kind of exit level in smut, and then do more clean comics. I think doing something like that could be purgative, and I assume from your output I've seen around here you have some familiarity with "eastern thought"—Tibetan monks have all these thangka paintings of subdued demons copulating despite being chaste themselves, the paintings are meant as meditations on desire and death, sexy but also unsexy, fap with the mind's eye as it were.
>>7150217You seem like such a cool person. Wow. Also great advice lol I adore depictions of avalokitesvara, mahakala, citipati, mahakala, and kali. just so fucking raw. I would love to make art like that one day. I'm going to utilize AI of prompt "sitatapatra tibetan buddhist goddess meditating on a lotus and turning golden wheel of dharma and holding white parasol " She is the true protector from black magic and hexes so nyan nyan 4chan
wow your 2008-2010 was peak if you can somehow revert back it would be great.
