Not to be rude or whatever, but how are you not at a professional level after that many years dedicated to the craft? Even if you weren't studying 10 hours a day, after that many years you should be pro or near pro, especially if you are online in art communities (which I assume you are if you are here).

No.696
>>566The issue is more that it's really hard to "make it" as an artist more than anything else. It's equal parts finding an audience and finding the style you like working in the most.
But of course, learning how to make highly-skilled, photorealistic pieces is of ultimate importance. If you can draw *anything* accurately, you'll learn how to simplify anything you want to a specific style.
This can take *years* of practice, regardless of the medium. It's why you don't see many "professionals" under the age of 30, either in the fine arts or in animation.
No.697
>>690Yes, i made a similar half-statue of Hanako in her casualwear (originally intented as a bust, so the head ended up oversized) almost a year ago.

I posted a better view of the Lilly figurine to both the KSGeneral thread in /vg/ and the OC thred in /ks/ some time ago if you're interested.
Of the WiP figurines, Rin is locked into the school uniform look, the others are early enough in the process to go either way.

>>566>after that many years you should be pro or near proYou'd be surprised.
What do you consider "professional"? I count it as having a job in the industry, not doing little commissions on my deviantART account.
"Professional level" art is also subjective. Jaime Jones doesn't do flat out photorealistic work, but he's an amazing professional artist. Photorealism doesn't make the drawing professional. You're just a great draftsman if you can manage that.

>>1618Hey is that some Adobe Illustrator work? It looks nice
No.1631
>>1629Thanks chief, it's all done in Photoshop though. I need to learn Illustrator but everytime I try and get to grips with it it kicks my ass. The trade off is that it's much harder to learn than PS, but it offers much greater control, non-destructive editing and vector output. If I'm gonna get paid for logos and stuff though then I genuinely need to get Illustrator down, not prepared to give a client non-scalable iconography, completely unprofessional of me.
That said I just made massive versions at my previous employer and scaled down. Quality drop is negligible so it did the task it needed to No.1809

I've been thinking about getting a trip and start posting all my art under it so that I could easier get help from you guys. Would that be okay or would it just be seen as attention whoring?
No.2493
>>2492>Would that be okay or would it just be seen as attention whoring?/art/ is dead there's nobody here to care
No.2494
>>2493>/art/ is deadI know more people have to be on this site, at the very least. Are there other boards similar to this one?
No.2496
>>2494It's not that there aren't people, it's that all the art boards have a big lack of interest among those people.
Here's some more boards, but they're all more or less dead.
>>1179 No.2497
>>2493So I can post under a trip?
>>2494There is >>/loomis/
But it too has a pretty small population (4 regular posters in comparison to /art/'s 9)
>>2496>a big lack of interest among those people.This is true and a big problem.
People simply don't post their art here and there aren't that many people commenting either.
No.2498
>there's like ten art boards each with their own snowflake differences
Why not unify and have a better, more active board.
No.2499
>>2498It would probably start fights about who is supposed to rule the board.
With 10 boards means that there are 10 people who wants to own an art related board.
Our best bet would simply be to support one another here and as our skill grows expand into more mainstream boards (start drawthreads on a featured board) and then advertise this place.
No.2500
>>2498Because everyone wants to be the owner of a board. Sometimes people make new boards even though there's no difference whatsoever to another board, it's one of the largest problems with 8chan IMO.
Also everyone shills their board in slightly different times/places so all of them end up having at least some kind of traffic at some point in time.
