@Birthday Cat actually, as an artist, my advice is this-
Find something that you love, like autistically, fixatedly love, and work until you're a pro.
Then move on to what you're worst at, and try to somewhat combine them. I spent 4 gruelling years in college just cranking out dragons. If I zone out to draw it will 100% become a dragon.
I suck at people, but I'm excellent at animals, so I anthropomorphise it until I can start doing humans on their own.

If you suck at scapes, hide your interested subject in one, and try to make it fit.
A lot of art is quite literally brute forcing it, and you will fail. You'll fail more than you ever succeed and it's likely you'll only love a couple of your pieces and be 100% content with them in your lifetime.
You need to work on feeling okay with what you make, and working through blocks. If you wait for inspiration, you'll never draw.

Eta: personally I collect the fuck out of art books; however, I mix parts a lot. I.e. I might take a body design from one, a clothing or texture from another, a face from another book, limbs from another, fine details from something else, etc etc.
When I can't think of something to draw I can have up to 12 books open to use as inspiration/planning. I don't trace any of it, but I use the designs. Books are a tool, though I agree relying too much is a crutch. Same with irl, if you only focus on still life, it's all you can draw. You need to find small things, things most wouldn't notice. Maybe that leaf's shadow looks like a weird seahorse, draw it.
Maybe that flower looks like a persons face, draw it. Oh that plan looks like a dog riding a dinosaur, draw it!

100% agree, fall in love with the process of making art. Learn as you go. If you keep enjoying the process and learn to improve regularly you cannot fail.
 
I'll be a powerlevelling faggot and give my early inspiration because, as I tend to say, I'm very passionate. I will straight up drop the trolling to teach numpty even when ai know it's pointless because I'm that in love with it.
I mentioned having brain damage. That brain damage meant I couldn't speak for a while, it was like a thread from my brain to my throat was severed. You know stage fright? Imagine that empty headedness EVERY time you tried to talk about anything, even your own name. That isn't an exaggeration.
I also didn't understand my emotions, I didn't know what I felt, just overwhelmed. So I drew to talk. I drew answers on tests and even had teachers change entire tests for me so I could do that, and it really helped. Like a lot. I don't have a lot of my old pieces saved, I burned a lot that hurt to look at and I regret it, but I have a few. Maybe you'll see the emotion, maybe you won't.

Aaaaand pieces from early to late college 6 years ago during a very... rough, period. One recent.

Believe it or not I was actually in a fantastic mood for this one, lmao.

This was one of the corners of my final show, I basically had the whole room for myself.

>"Oh no, they don't believe my very obvious lies. Time to put everyone on ignore and draw as fast as I can while pretending I managed to shut them up."
This thread will never die and that is so funny to me.
Also, has she really gone 24 hours straight trying to repeat the same arguments in this thread? You're very angwy Downy Emmy.
 
View attachment 6691973 Full coloring, sketching, drawing process with NO refrence to Lamby on screen , proving it comes from MY mind not Lamby's.
I think maybe I see a second monitor off to the side, or possibly a piece of paper taped to the screen. To prove it for sure you're going to have to livestream, fully blindfolded, and draw all 72 sigils from the grimoire Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis. I can guarantee Lamby hasn't done that.
 
Enough of the troll bullshit, I'm not an art thief.
If you were able to replicate the quality of the traced drawing the second attempt, there would've been only a 50% chance you were not an art thief.
Said odds plummeted to 20% at the 5th attempt, 10% at the 10th and so on so forth, but you didn't and you didn't stopped, you tried and failed over and over again, losing more and more faith of people that would've been supportive of your bullshit.
The moment you drew and failed your 20th attempt at replicating the quality of the traced drawing is the moment you completely lost the fight, as it became statistically insignificant the possibility that you wouldn't have traced it.

This is, of course, unless you can prove you lost your edge and something has happened that caused your artistic skill to drop in quality; an event such as Salvador Dali's losing his drawing skills due to palsy.

Her and Colton are made for one another. It's like I'm still getting the exact same high.
 
all this drama over someone just learning digital art
Its all because this someone learning digital art can't stop trying to save their long gone reputation by posting on a website that'll never be unable to give you a good response.
If you wanna end the discussion, then you should be the first one to leave, instead of going MATI.
 
I have drawn the same centaur in real life as well which you all avoid.
my PC is OFF when I am doing this and you see my phone.

sorry but Lamby's the thief, I also am holding the paper in the air so I cannot be tracing. Unlike Lamby, I have real life videos too. If you watch the full thing, you can see me turn my PC screen off. my phone is on my monitor stand.

sorry not sorry but that centaur is MINE.
