>KEEPS DRAWING>DOESN'T GET BETTER
>>7160588its ok pawel
>Keep drawing>raise standards>fail to meet themI'm becoming even worse
>doesn't draw>old art still getting soldit's fine i guess
>>7160588>keeps drawing>still having fun with it I'm on an ascended plane, beyond crabbing and doom postingI have won
To me,a Work is something that is the culmination of the dozens of drawings done in its development. When you doodle in a sketchbook,,every result need not be "good",immediately useful nor completely useful either. You learn through doing,so these sketches aren't for public consumption. You build a Work carefully, so the final drawing is spectacular.
>>7160588I know that feel
>>7160588>>KEEPS DRAWING>>DOESN'T GET BETTERI don't draw that much, like once per month, yet whenever I draw I get a lot better. My secret is that I study drawing theory a lot inbetween practice.
>>7160662>once per month1 day per month* and I spend hours drawing and trying to apply my art theory knowledge. It somehow works because my theory level is way higher than my practical skills so I'm teaching myself how to draw on the spot.
>>7160588How much do you draw and how long have you been doing it?For hours of actual drawing isn't the same than for hours of drawing while being distracted every 20 seconds by insta/tiktok memes.
>>7160588I had a problem with this. But then I started watching Bob Ross videos. He taught me everything I needed to know to become a great Mangaka.
>>7160588you have to draw a lot bro. jimmi hendrix annoyed his parents for years with shitty ass solos before he got good. the thing is he was enjoying it the whole time
>>7160588How many hours are you drawing?What are the exercises/studies you do?
>keeps drawing >gets better >keeps drawing more >get worse I don't understand
>>7160588i think it has to do with fatigue. dodson talks about it, and if you're tired of doing something, you won't operate on the same level as someone who doesn't mind putting in the work. i find myself doing it a lot, and it's a hump i need to get over if i am to ever improve as a beginner
>>7160663Top kek, lets see your work, bud.
>>7160629This is why I masturbate a lot.
I’ll never be Knox, no matter how much Koreanmaxxing I tryWhy live?
the day to day improvement is so non existent its hard to see the forest for the trees.
>>7161136so with this one the whole idea was "catch" like the timeless game that baseball players? I always looked up to Babe Ruth, and so did my uncle Jerry. Jerry and I used to play fetch in the backyard, and I drew this piece in honor of him. the leading edge of the hand is a visual cue to signal to viewers to look at the ball, making them similar to Jerry, who has also been asking to retrieve the ball. it establishes an emapthic connection beyond the frame of the canvas between man and his best friend, Jerry, and I hope you like it anon there's a lot of theory behind this one don't try to take it all in at once.
>>7160629>"Someone how works hard can never beat someone who enjoys himself."Why can't you do both at the same time? You know these two are not mutually exclusive.
>>7160588have you tried drawing more
>>7161212Yes, I got worse.
I realized I dont actually get better. I just find new ways to gaslight the viewer.
>>7161245I suggest drawing more then
>>7161256So I can get even worse than I already am? Thanks.
Is it normal to get angry at yourself for getting better? That just means you were wasting time doing something wrong before.
Do fish in a fish bowl become better fish?
why is there a rock on the table in this meme? i never understood it
>>7162423kneaded rubber.
>>7161335probably not drawing enough
>>7160629pyw
>>7162495I have no reason toLike I said, I've ascended beyond crabbing
>>7162423dude you don't have a lucky drawing rock?what the hell, how can you even draw without one?
>>7162519Or because everyone who says they "draw for fun" artwork always looks like shit
>>7160588You keep repeating the same mistake over and over again that's why you don't improve. You need to focus on improving your weaknesses thru deep practice.
>>7163122Guess you just have to imagine whatever, bucko.
I wish I had the vast reserves of mental energy I did when I was younger. Back then I was shit at drawing but I did it for hours every day.Now I'm better technically but I spend more time thinking about what to draw than actually drawing. I have to spend hours brainstorming and ideas and eliminating shitty ones. Some days I don't even draw because I have no idea worth turning the tablet on for.>just draw random things xD like a purple elephant wearing a bikini xDDDno. If you want to make music you don't smash the keys of the piano. If you want to cook you don't open random containers and put it all in a pot and cook it in the oven for 2 hours.
>>7162519>ascended>still has the need to post here kek
>>7163383Need? NoIt's fun, therefore I am here.Nice projection though
>>7160629I only have fun when I'm drawing stuff I want to draw.Then I post it, get told I gotta go through a bunch of books and the fun is lost.
>>7163388>t.subu
>>7163122What does it matter if it does?
>>7160588>draw what I want to>start to be unsatisfied>set a goal for the week like 100 gesture drawings with the occasional waifu in a void to not burn out on just grinding>apply what I learn and get minor progress
>>7160617The eternal state of becoming you are truly alive
>>7160629i don't have the fundamentals down enough to "draw for fun", that's the real hell
>>7165351The problem is not in the fundamentals, it's in the mindset. Yes, even at this point. If you can't draw for fun now, you won't be able to even if you do master the fundamentals.
>>7165497this sounds impressive but it isn't true
>>7160588>DON'T DRAW FOR YEARS>>STILL GOT BETTER
>>7165544>no argumentsI accept your concession.
>>7165789>le debate me broterminally online retard
>>7164708things that never happened
My best hasn't really improved in the past decade, but I can do it faster and much more consistently now, so I guess it's all good.
>>7165497NTA but my problem is I'm having zero fun trying to learn the fundamentals.Like I have fun drawing whatever I want, but the moment I'm required to draw something to learn all that happens is that I get anxious, frustrated etc.
>>7160588Why do you wanna draw? Why do you wanna get better? What's your goal here?
>keep drawing>improve
when I draw something, it takes an infinite amount of time to finish. I never finish anything, I just eventually give up trying to save it.
There is no such thing as "hitting the wall" in art, by which I mean you cannot get better anymore. There is always new improvement available for you.Pick an art study subject, and do something small every day to fix your problems with it: colour studies, anatomy studies, animal studies, imagination sketches. If you're scared of ruining nice sketchbooks and don't have a digital tablet, get a huge stack of printer paper and draw on it with cheap school pencils.JUST KEEP GOING! I promise, it gets easier later!
>>7162495post wrists
>>7160588Just keep drawing till you improve. Brute force it.
>>7160588just make AI art. you're instantly super talented
>>7160629I kneel
>>7167502Or use 3D models from Clip Studio, seriously, if you are still studying fundies and medical faggotry from the XVI century and are still ngmi you deserve it
>>7163376Have you heard of freestyle jazz and experimental cooking? You're too far up your own head
>>7167530Once you are out of your Dunning Krueger phase you'd understand that not everything has to be executed, silly little permaprebeg nigger
>>7167535At least I draw, but keep daydreaming about it
>>7167539But you draw shit, that makes you no better than a npc little shit void of virtues since you only "do" things, without any kind of impact or retribution.You suck
>>7167539Look at this guy, he has fun. Oh la di da Mr. Sunshine. Did you have "fun" today drawing your pretty little happy flowers? Fuck you. I don't want to have fun, I want to win. I had my fun, now I want fame/respect/attention.

>>7165246Gesture drawing is a begtrap, dumbass
>I think I'm not improvingI had this issue as well until I started organizing everything I draw by month and year. Progress isn't always a breakthrough but goes bit by bit so you don't even realize it sometimes. Going back and reviewing works from a couple months ago actually lets you see that jump.
>>7160588>DOESN'T DRAW>KEEPS GETTING BETTERPROVE ME WRONG (U CANT)
>>7161186>Autists expect quotes to account for edge cases
>study colors, anatomy, perspective, etc>everything looks fine >try applying it to an original piece>it looks like shit>spend all day trying to fix it>it still looks like shit
>>7167502this. anyone can be talented these days. now get prompting.
>>7167502>>7171006>has the ability to generate anything he wants by just typing words>just does the "soilent faggot doing art" prompt again and again and spams it every threadactually hilariousso glad all perma/beg/ schizos have one tag in common now (ai-generated) so you never have to see their art again
>>7168182You got a chuckle anon, good job.
Drawing badly takes more effort than drawing well. I work so hard polishing turds and pushing past my limits and my art just gets worse and worse. Meanwhile good artists just go by muscle memory without thinking and shit out masterpieces.
>>7167524This. Even professional comic book artists trade 3D models to make production faster. Just make sure the model is your own work if you want to publish your traced artwork.Remember that it's only illegal if you get caught.
>>7167241I can't find a single drawing-related subject that I understand well enough to attempt to put it into practice. If I had at least a vague understanding of what was involved in a functional drawing process, or understood how drawing worked in general, then improvement would be guaranteed. Without that, though, it's really hard to get anywhere.
>cant draw arms>practice arms>can draw armsholy shit!!
>keep drawing>doesnt get better>in fact it gets worse>feel no love for the craft anymore>look for ways to enjoy drawing again>realize the problem was my workflow being retarded>change workflow>keep drawing>speed gets better>art gets better>experimenting gets better>social media engagement get better>commission money gets better>everything gets betterI is going to make it, bois.
