--I just mean, "oh wouldn't it be cool if the armor was this shape instead of that shape on that guy". Not "wow this movie sucks, lets binge watch them on netflix"

--You're right, I don't just mean blindly watch a movie with your brain turned off.
09 Nov 10:38
--a lot of us already have a lifetime full of movies and whatnot already solidified in our memory.

--For example, the zoo here is free on Mondays. I don't go every Monday, but I try to go at least once a month.

--You're right, but I think there is a fine line between finding inspiration and procrastinating.

--Studying anatomy is one part of it, but studying design could be done in a million different ways. Going to a park and looking at the scenery, take a few photos. Hell even watching movies increases your design skill when you have the chance to watch tv

--and if you spend 90% of your time on art you will certainly get a job one day

--Don't get it twisted, the more you work the faster you will get better. The people who say there are "diminishing returns" are making excuses imo. As long as you don't injure or kill yourself of course.

--Going to cons would be considered both marketing, and income, but could also be time to meet new people or enjoy yourself during the off hours.

--Some people do a normal 9-5. Some do 12-17hours. It's all up to you how long you wanna spend, and how often you can do things you want to do.

--You don't just improve as an artist by studying all the time. You gotta get out and do stuff
09 Nov 09:34
--How do artists handle life if 90% of our time is taken up trying to improve just to get a job!
09 Nov 09:08
--Aaah, it's funny how many of us brush off when our art seniors tell us to "take breaks". It's only when shit happens to us that we're like "lol guys, take breaks cuz injuries suck arse". Sucks to hear, Kurt. That looks nasty on all kinds of pain levels. Now, I hope people learn ONCE AND FOR ALL to take goddamned breaks--!!!!

--postage stamp sized wacom is why my right arm is crippled.. like, it' honestly feels like I've broken something inside my arm it hurts that much, so seriously, get a bigger working surface if you are going to do a lot of digital, set your pressure settings to super sensitive so you are not exerting to much pressure while drawing, and take LOTS of breaks... learning to write, draw, brush your teeth, eat etc all over again with your off hand isn't fun

--sometimes. but i think this mostly stems from my lack of a good drawing angle. leaving my wrist extended for long periods of time. also using a small tablet doesn't help at all.
09 Nov 03:45
--Man that sucks. Do you draw with your wrist mostly, or your fingers and elbow?
