Hello World! |

Hello!
I am so truly excited to be a part of this. My name is Josef and I am from Czech Republic. I am 20 now and trying my hardest to get to an art university. I first fell in love with illustration at the age of 14 when I saw a Blizzard art book at a local comic shop. I was immediately hooked, committed and never looked back. I honestly don't remember how discovered Dave, but his straightforward attitude really opened my eyes. Funny enough I never even tried to google the old forum he kept mentioning in his videos since I thought there is no way it still exists xD I tried it out of curiosity like a year later and to my complete amazement the forum was still very much alive.
So here I am, still can't believe I am now writing this. I have actually never used something like this before, so I don't even what I am doing. Also, English is my second language, so I don't really know what I am writing either. Already a promising start:)
Anyhow, I am here to get better. And I will. I will start posting as soon as I figure out how. I also look forward to helping others any way I can, although probably not many people here will need my advice. I looked around the forum a bit already and your work is pretty badass.
Many heroes of mine have come through here. I am honoured to have the opportunity to leave my mark i this little corner of the internet, surrounded by good people and artists of this caliber.
Take care everyone
Till later

Hey guys,
I have been a silent reader for quite a while.
Back then I was too shy to make a account.
The first time I actual heard about that forum was probably 6-8 years
a go when Dave Rapoza talked about it during an interview.
My plan is to finally "git gud" and switch my career.
I guess being forced to work fulltime in a "normal" job
( I dont mean this in a non respectul way ) really pushed me to take
illustration more seriously.
I have to figure out a smart way to study art that wont
burn me out on the long run.
Im looking forward to get to know you guys.

A total failure |

Hi, I'm new here, I'll drop one of my sloppy sketches to be part of this.
I'm not used to do this, but I'm completely desperate and don't know what else to do.
The thing is that I've been trying to get a revenue from my art since 2015, after several years of studying, and dedicating entire days and months creating pieces, all I've got so far it's just failure; my art is never sold, it has been stolen, damaged, vandalized, no art gallery is interested on it, I've been scammed, it couldn't be sold on internet because I never got any visits due to me being a total nobody, and never got anything from it far from suffering and pain.
After losing literally everything, getting psychiatric treatment, getting to the point of literally puking when looking myself in the mirror, several mental breakdowns, and being one step away from living as a homeless, art is the only thing that I have left and I don't want to leave it behind.
Is there any advice or help that you can give me to stop having such a catastrophic artist career?
I'm even willing to sell my art as NFTs if needed
By the way, I live in a third world country, and english is not my native language, so I apologize if I couldn't express myself in a correct way, hope I get at least some words from you
Thanks a lot for taking your time reading me

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all. I study art from the internet. I heard that critique is so important to improving on art, so I joined this forum. I wish I could make a lot of friends so I can get a lot of advice and have great discussion about art.
A little bit about myself I'm 19 years old and I actually go to art college, but my art college is suck, they don't teach anything. That's why I go to the internet to find a better way to learn art.

I am Artemis - real name Amy.
I'm a teenager(14), and I am still new to art, and to forums.
I have been drawing, doodling, sketching, etc. for a few years now, but I'm still not that good at it.
I usually draw random things, or copy images from the internet. I try different mediums, but the only one I don't suck in is probably graphite pencils, and maybe pen. I don't know why, but I've always been terrible at working with colors.
Nice to meet you all!

You ever had someone start a text convo with "Oh, hi"? Drives me nuts. Anyway...
My name is Nellie, and I'm more or less a self-taught artist. I've been drawing since before I could remember, so, much of my life. But I did get some formal training in college.
I'm new to forums, so this is weird for me. Lots of stuff to learn here. Etiquette things, exploring the community... etc. But I like what I see here so why not give it a go?
Recently I started working on a webcomic. It's taken up a good 95% of my time and energy outside of my full-time job. It's not a complaint; it's a project I am absurdly passionate about. But it has made me super aware of where I am lacking as an artist. Since starting the project, I haven't been able to properly allocate time to improve upon areas that seriously need work, which are mostly gestures, inking, anatomy, and foreshortening.
I'm looking to put aside more time to get better at full-body anatomy and gestures, but of course, the goal is always to improve overall.
That said, here's some art I've done over the years!
