Hey guys, I appreciate the advice (and especially the encouragement) as always so thanks.
Anyway here's a bit more:
I realize the shoe is kinda off in length and other things but I'm posting anyway to show I'm alright with doing different stuff.
Some eyes...I'll take some more pictures from 3/4 lengths I guess. And also let me save you some time, I realize I should spend more time on anatomy and not so much the face and details. Could you tell me what you think of this for what it is? Consider this a fun drawing or whatever.
And this isn't really that much either, but a friend kind of got me into the idea of "scrapaday" drawings and this is my first one. Just wondering if this quality is fine or whatever, cause I was thinking doing a few a day of just unstructured "drawn from life drawings" and I guess here you go.
My stomach really tightens up every time I come here. I'm actually a little dizzy lol, mainly because I've been checking out the other threads and just seeing the various mantras and stuff displayed or whatever. It's all a bit overwhelming.
I kinda wanted to ask...I realize that this place reveals the path to everlasting glory in the art world, I understand that. I realize everyone here, if they take the advice given to them, WILL
WITHOUT A DOUBT become a professional artist. But it made me wonder. What about all the guys who didn't come here and are professional artists? I asked around a bit and sent some emails. But before I got them back, I heard your voices in my head and thought "oh yeah, they just used all the advice Entervoid gives to me right now! That has to be it." and didn't think about asking more, since you guys already know what it takes (if I question this, I'm obviously being defensive.)
But I did manage to speak with various people who have been to art school, and some who get paid for drawings. I suppose you might say if they gave me advice that didn't match up with that of almighty Entervoid, chances are they don't REALLY know what art is. I, being an amateur and seeing their art, can't pass a judgement on what looks good or bad because I'm no good, haven't been to art school, ect ect. But they said strange things like "I had fun while learning" and "trying new things doesn't have to be hard" and it kind of made me feel weird. It was just contradictory advice to what I heard here, I mean everything I've been told seems to revolve around "working hard" and "doing what you need to do instead of having fun" and those things didn't come up with them.
I know they can't be as good as you guys though. they only have 21 and 40 years of sequential art practice under their belt, but I know you guys know the way to success so whatever they said I think I should dismiss them. They are pretty good though...But then again, my untrained eyes and hand probably can't make that sort of judgement.
Well, sorry if that was long. Looked at the forum rules and it said there's nothing against talking. Anyway, just something I was thinking about...Do you have any advice regarding the artists I spoke to?
