I'm personally best when i'm tracing things and warping it into a different image, because my mind's eye doesn't translate mental images into art very well. My pictures were either traced from some source or were methodically drawn with rulers or symmetrical, rather than just being free-handed or anything. You should try that, because it usually looks really good in the end, and it's good for beginners. I can't draw things without a crutch or cool tools, and i can't add color well which is why my best stuff is sketches, and that's the reason i gave up on art.</span>

<span class="quote">>>871>In seriousness though, I would like to draw but I can't make the effort to do so and reduce the perfect ideas in my mind to the utter failure of my ability to realise them with my hands.That's how you get good at it. That's how learning works. If you can't see the flaws with what you're drawing you get stuck drawing like Chris Chan or Tim Buckley forever. You're supposed to be able to find flaws with what you draw, so that the next drawing you can focus on that aspect and do better next time. It's a slow process. You can't really take shortcuts with it.Each time you draw something find something, usually something that really sticks out, and try to do better with that next time. Look up other people's techniques or advice if you have to. If you get stuck on a certain thing take a break from that for a while and go back with fresher eyes. Review your progress on improving certain things to see how you've improved and how you haven't. And of course show other people, because they'll notice flaws you don't.</span>

Bad news. Apparently my drunkard mom and stepdad stole military decorations of my ancestors for WW2 (picrelated one of them) and sold them behind my back for pennies. The whole set was worth at the very least $1500 but it seems those retards sold them for pennies instead. The medals alone were worth $450 but they sold the medals for $120…
I spent the last month barely touching the pen due to that. It's a very big loss to me, when my first love told me to wait for her and later cucked me, I didn't draw for a year and a half, doing nothing but sitting in my room and playing games to distract myself from pain. When my second girl left me, I stopped drawing for 3 months. Those awards were more important than any human to me, more important than anything else but I recover quicker. It's true that with time the pain becomes duller and you grow accustomed to life being a dissappointing pile of steaming shit. When my family hit the new low in 2014, mother lost job and we got into debts due to her stupidity and her boyfriend scamming her, I asked God for a sign that not all is lost, that it's not that bad. A month later I discovered those awards and the story behind them and they brought me joy whenever I thought of them. It's was extremely shameful for me to ask any supernatural forces at my low point because I am agnostic and not supernatural, yet I always remembered how I found them in one of the hardest moments of my life when I contemplated suicide a lot. I can't believe they are gone and I dream of beating my parents. Remember the stepdad's mother to which I brought gifts for the money I earned from commissions? When I told her that her son stole and sold valuable family relics worth $1500, she faked that she cared. After that she pretended that she is not at home and refused to open the door or even talk to me, she tried to hide at home and make me think nobody is there. When I refused to go home, she threatened to call the police. I feel empty now. I have more commissinos than I can handle but I barely have any will to draw. I see those awards in my dreams, whenever I wake up I remember that I lost them.
My grandmother was afraid my mom will sell them. I didn't believe that my mom would do this, and here I am now, a year didn't pass since grandma's death and my mother managed to steal them out of my room and sell them. I will have to break someone's teath and fingers. I regret that I let my mother and her useless husband move in my grandmother's apartments. My stepdad brought to the household less than $500 for the past 8 months, and my mother spent the last 7 years being unemployed. I was feeding them for 3 months out of my salary and I forgave them when they stole my collection of coins and sold it. This is how they repaid my generosity.
I will try to sell my apartments and move out of this shitty country. Stepdad's brother is a useless unemployed 49yo drunkard leeching off his 72yo mom and stealing money from her to buy himself booze. He is still living with his mom. I once said that I don't have Ukrainian and Russian friends because I don't like "our people". The faggot asked me why. Those subhumans just keep dissappointing me.
My neighbour borrowed 25$ for a week, then he "forgot" that he borrowed them at all and I had to incite scandals with him as well just to get my shit back. Everyone is trying to fuck me over. The government is corrupt, the neighbours are trying to steal from you and now I have to deal with rats in my house, the same rats I have been feeding myself despite being poor as hell, I spent money on them and what did I get? My parents sold family relics and stepdad's mom threatened me after all the gifts I bought her from my salary. Her own children and grandchild bought her less than I did but I guess blood means a lot more than your actions. It's okay to steal if the thief is your son, in the end she chose to ignore me completely. Several weeks passed since the event, I am not burning with hatred but I understood why vengeance is better served cold. I will redirect whatever income and strength I have at making those people's lives worse, if need be I will hire goons to break them. I desperately wanted to help the poor despite being one, but as the time went by I started hating the poor more and more. Now I see that many of the poor are simply too retarded and have no foresight, that's why they are poor. My parents didn't even have enough brains to sell the medals for half of their real price, fuck.

No.52
>>51I'm sorry to hear my friend, did you confront the mom and stepdad over the medals? Not that they would be sympathetic but it would probably firm your resolve to move out, no? Also beating the shit out of anyone would feel good but probably wouldn't be a good idea - imagine having all your life's problems plus a criminal record or even jail time, not to mention the social repercussions of beating your parents. You'd just be punching into a bucket of shit, no need to get yourself dirty. As I said (and as you probably already know) aiming to put some distance between you and them might be the best course of action. Then you would have more independence to help them out or let them rot.
No.53
>>52I did. It's a long story, way lnoger than what I wrote. Mother admitted her guilt but stepdad denies everything, I threatened to make him a cripple and I hate empty threats. Some people understand only violence, some people are born to be ruled, they are natural born slaves. I gave my parents full freedom and they poisoned their own lives and mine as well. My stepdad liked to brag how he put into hospital a dude that scammed his neighbours, so I will give him the taste of his own medicine.
>a criminal recordIt's easy to rob or hurt or kill somebody and get out of the country before this person even goes to the police. I can get out of Ukraine within 2 days, quick enough to avoid getting caught. I don't need to hurt them immediately, nice vengeance requires planning and time. People get killed for less than $1500, people get killed for lesser betrayals and for lesser insults, especially in 3rd world pisspoor countries like Ukraine, which is poorer than Turkey, Iran, China or Morocco. A couple of broken teeth is a lottery ticket in my view. If they stole $1500 from mafioso, they would be dead already. I had weeks to plan my vengeance, I can't love any woman even half as strongly as I loved the first one, and I don't experience strong attachment to anything but to the things I collect and the awards I inherited. Taking those things from me is worse than rape or stealing all my money and the apartment, they chose to spit in my face and take whatever dignity and self-esteem I had. I didn't draw because of some love for art, I was drawing to earn money. What for do I need money now if I love no one and I have nothing to cherish? There's only bitter taste of betrayal and hate.
>the social repercussions of beating your parentsI am beyond those things. I told my mother I will sell her out if she ever commits a crime when I was less than 10. Punishment is only just in my view, but she will get none because legally there's no paper proving that those awards belonged exclusively to me and no proof that she stole them. There is no one to hurt them but me and I have nothing else valuable left. I don't need money or women but I needed those decorations. And I was denied even them, denied by the very people I fed and helped. It's not matter of money now, nothing can quench this thirst.

I was a bit busy starving. My mom is a lying drunkard, I had no internet for 25 days, no food for 14 and soon I may lose an apartment because the drunkards pawned it half a year ago. The retards tried to open bar, loaned money and used the only apartment we have as collateral. Everything was done behind my back. I spent 3 weeks without Internet and 2 weeks starving because my mother lied about paying for Internet, lied about bringing money for birthday and I couldn't ask the money for artwork because I had no Internet. The morning after my birthday a loan shark entered apartment while I was sleeping.

I wanted to forget for a brief moment what mom did and go to jurist together with her to avoid paying the debt but the morning I had this idea the loanshark boss let me listen his last audiotaped convo with mom. My mother promised me to give all the money we get minus debt after sale of apartment. Behind my back I heard how she asked the boss not to tell me the real value of the apartment + let her have "her" share. The boss offered to give me the rest of money and leave nothing to mom, he hates her because she was avoiding paying debt before and lied regularly. How the fuck am I supposed to dig myself out of this hole when the loansharks AND parents work against me? I just need some money from the apartment and then I leave the country. I can't even leave or sell shit because I need papers proving I am not draft dodger, we have forced coscription and the Russian war destroyed hopes for volunteer army.

Also, 720 x 4 = $2880, that's big money no matter the country, even in Switzerland average wage is about $5000 a month. I seriously doubt you need that much for survival.

I drew lots of forbidden stuff and handle is my real surname, nothing happen to me so far. I know lots of greats that did some dirty stuff and nothing happened to them either. Miura was most likely a pedophile, he didn't have a girlfriend, he spent years playing and watching Idol Master and he defended lolicon hentai in public.
Frank Frazzetta drew porn with a negro raping a white woman.
Ilya Kuvshinov aka Kronprinz was very uncreative with some of his works, picrelated. /ic/ tried to cancel him for years. He went on to become a lead character designer for Ghost in the Shell the Netflix adaptation and self-insert in the series as the main villain in the first episodes. The show was critically panned but Netflix announced 2nd season anyway. /ic/ tried to cancel him for years and they failed miserably. No one cares about this shit and no one will care about you.

>>2034All porn is profitable but the more depraved you are, the better. And no one,
no one' can beat the furry porn income. You better draw what you enjoy though because if you try to cash in, you might burn out. I tried to draw furry porn initially and it just destroyed my soul, I do not enjoy it. I do not enjoy humanoid porn either but this stuff is still miles ahead of NSFW furries.
>>2036There are serious people but they rarely reveal themselves. I have very professional looking acquaintances from /ic/, unfortunately it's hard to establish true friendship with people from there, I tried hard and I failed to befriend people around my skill level or higher. Maybe I would have more success if I had a hole between my legs.
Among the prominent /ic/ artists that post regularly there are Ortamaw and Pantsuripper. Not gonna lie, I am jealous as hell of Pantsu, he got 60 000 followers on Twitter while I am still stuck at 320 despite all the art gains I made. I earn more $ off commissions each month than I have total followers currently, I am seriously considering just finding some semi-prominent artists and pay them to retweet my ass. My last "Nice dick bro" gif received 2000 likes on Reddit but I got only 4 retweets and 15 damn followers on Twitter, this shit is driving me insane.

Some tips I heard:
1. Connections with famous artists - they share your art.
2. Posting frequently.
maybe someday i'll escape /beg/ hell and we will be hentai e-frens lol No.2041
>>2038I don't think it's simply due to lack of artists, the rich furries meme is well known and there's a shit ton of artists drawing this stuff. There's just one big gold rush and unlimited supply of new artists trying to profit off the trend, yet it doesn't push furry prices down by much. I think there's something with mentality of furries, they commission stuff way more often than the usual humanoid customers + their standards are low. I struggle to gain people on Hentai Foundry but every time I posted something on FurAffinity I gained a new follower
>>2040I am still small and the stuff I say may end up like with blind leading the blind. I do not recommend to count on connections to famous artists, probably a quarter of all my followers on Twitter are artists. Most of them are small, but there's 4 guys with more than 20 000 followers each one + a dozen of artists in range between 1000-19 999 followers. This stuff didn't help me much. When you are a noname, it doesn't make much sense for famous artists to promote you unless you are extremely close. You are their competition + you can't offer anything back because you don't have audience yourself. At least I have some money to offer, so I will try to bribe several artists and see how this stuff works out.
In the long run, I believe that bribing is 100% way more beneficial that advertising naturally. If my parents weren't total fuck ups, I would use their wealth to bribe myself into reaching 10 000 followers. Bribes + posting frequently is the way to go, you will make up the losses via Patreon later. Long term, it absolutely makes sense. Let's say, you pay "only" $30 per retweet from somebody with 10 000 followers. For $30 (a day/two days of commissioned work for me) you will get way more exposure than you could get by simply publishing your works into the void. I fucking wish I had a thousand of dollars to spare on this stuff. right now I do have a thousand $ in reserve, which is triple the monthly Ukrainian wage, but I need those money for new laptop + investments in stocks (I am no gambler, I have help from my British friend with a degree in finance and I have been successfully testing myself playing Investopedia stocks simulator where I managed to earn the double of S&P500 so far)
No.2042
>>2041Well I assumed mutual promotion would always be good, even if you recognize an artist is underrated and will blow up someday. Though even by principle, wouldn't it make sense to not share any trade secrets since every person is your "competition" by that logic? (you on an art forum)
From what I bothered with stock gambling back then I realized you actually need a decent amount of capital to make good returns otherwise it doesn't really account for much, unless you luck out on some crypto windfalls. Good luck to you though.
No.2043
>>2042I have an inherent advantage thanks to my skill, so I can afford giving some tips, though not absolutely everything I know. To be my direct competition you need to draw the same things I draw + do this at comparable skill level. Plus cooperation is more useful than competition, because, say, if all the artists from /ic/ teamed up against all the other artists on Twitter, they would achieve more because the number of artists from /ic/ is way smaller than the total number of Twitter artists, thus allowing to capture "the pond" by pushing the native fish out and still have enough audience to feed off, it makes sense financially to create cliques and push the others out, Jews are infamous for their nepotism and sticking to their people, now look how much Jews achieved with that. You gain more by advancing those who will pay you back later (the best bang for the buck is when you advance artists with good skill but no audience). But artists are incapable of thinking long term, they try to undercut each other even when cooperation benefits them. For example, lots of top artists with 100 000 followers charge only 200-70$ per artwork because they are incapable of understanding the rules of supply and demand, that their name became a luxury brand and they can charge premium for it, like Apple. By charging little they harm their own income and force competing artists to charge less, too. But as a rule of thumb artists are not the sharpest tools in the shed, so this kind of self-harming practice is widespread.
>decent amount of capitalI will have around $20000 by the end of the year, in the worst case I will get 10% annual return from SP500, which means I can count on $2000 a year. In the best case, I can pick stocks with my friend and keep growing twice faster than SP500, meaning I will have $4000 a year. Even $2000 a year is insane rate-of-return for a country where average monthly salary is $350 and the banks offer to deposit your $ at less than 0,01% a year. You read it damn right, Ukrainian banks offer you 0,01% annual return for deposit in dollars, so ANYTHING bringing me % above 0,01% a year is a bargain.

>>2049Ancient 11 years old laptop with I5-2410M CPU wth 2 cores, 4gb memory and GeForce 540M. I am surprised this laptop is still alive, I was using it for 24/7 for years because I don't have real life and at times I didn't leave apartment at all for half a year or even more. I intended to buy new laptop at first but I will feel better if I can buy stocks, reading articles on investment and analysis of companies is funnier than drawing.
To these people owning stocks right now,
buy ZIM. This Israeli shipping company is pure gold, me and my British friend are losing our minds over how damn good the company's data is. Ultra-wonderful divident yield, high price-to-earnings ratio, no substantial debts and lots of other good stuff, too. ZIM is severely undervalued right now, it's pure value stock and it will give you the easiest 5% a month return in your life. I am giving you this advice at my expense andI did not share it with anybody else, I do not long it yet due to lack of funds but I intend to and I advice you to keep the company for 4-7 months and then sell it depending on circumstances
I use Clip Studio Paint for drawing and hand drawn animation, Premier Pro for mp4 with music like the fresh video I attached and Live2D for mesh/puppet animation. Adobe After Effects is better by far for mesh/puppet animation but it has the highest requirements I have ever seen for an art related program, it's about as demanding as Witcher 3. Live2D is a castrated AE that won't kill your PC if it's as old as mine.

It may be different for you because graphic design is in much greater demand than the SFW art I make.

Spread awareness of the war and war crimes, this war may end up very bloody. Ukraine is a place with almost 40 million inhabitants, when Iran and Iraq were fighting each other in 1980 hundreds of thousands of people died
This is going to be way worse than Afghanistan and Chechnya
The quickest way to end it is for the entire population of Ukraine to surrender (impossible) or to sanction the Russian government and oligarchs and make them leave. Address your national deputies asking to support Ukraine and send at least humanitarian aid to the country
