This board is near dead, more and more artists concede and silence their inner calling. Empty buildings everywhere without art, cities ugly without statues, models lifeless and screensavers generic.
And you come here full of fear, doubt and self-torture and totemize books and tutorials and meme about crabs when what is really needed is a hard, cold, healthy dose of JUST DRAW from life or memory. Just do it, and you will be a better artist tomorrow. Be a just-draw Chad. For extra points post works on /ic and endure the criticism. As a sumi e (japanese ink painting) teacher once said: Every next work will be better than the last. Thats all that counts.
They will take our pencils only from our cold, dead hands.
