most casual conversation now revolve around people sharing funny meme pictures you don't have to respond if you're the one showing the pictures.

those just make it easier to differentiate between colors, not totally correct it.
>>3570276
There are a few colorblind artist that make it into news interest pieces every now and then. You could also work with a limited palette and just go by the name on the tube and color theory. Just make sure you have a high enough light/dark contrast. The most you have to worry about is muddiness, especially if you're red/green color blind.

take inspiration from weird shit, like religions, weapons, numerical patterns and history. there is a lot to work with, and a lot of that you can make your own. id recommend going to >>>/tg/ and reading through some of the ideas threads, you might be able to find something that inspires you.

>I am always compelled to do it

It feels like a bad relationship that has gone on for decades between two people who don't really like each other but couldn't really live without each other. I just can't shake the habit of looking at something and wanting to draw it, or having an idea and needing to put it down on paper. When I travel, even for weeks at a time, my suitcase contains one or two changes of clothes and is otherwise packed with art supplies and Loomis, because I'd rather be smelly and gross than not have access to artistic release.

It sucks, because I'm not obsessed enough to have the drive to get really good. I'm only obsessed enough to be disappointed with how shit I am. I banked my entire life on making a career of it and failed because I'm driven enough to care but lack the character to do anything about it. Now I'm facing thirty and having to basically pick up where I should have left off at 18. And despite all of this bitterness I still have to draw.

Something along those lines. Creating a balance between refined and rough drawing and doing this in a sort of painterly fashion. It feels less "digital" and gives you that "hand-painted" feeling.

Hey, as someone who's worked retail, call-centers, and other normal jobs, even the boring miserable art jobs are a step up from dealing with the general public.

So don't feel too bad.

At least when you're doing a shitty art job, you're improving your skills. There's nothing like feeling you need to get better and practice, and having no time for it because you're trying to pay bills all day.

In photoshop you can add the brush resize command to one of the stylus keys and then drag to resize while holding that key. Saves lot of time. Depends on how much time you wanna spend on doing macros and shortcuts it can really streamline your process

My curse:
>Do 3d course, was literally only taught modelling aka havent found any jobs that'll take me in.
>Even worse couldn't focus on 2d drawings for the past 3 years so am medicore and can only draw 3/4 angled girl heads.
>Knowing a degree is worthless and going in just to grind a portfolio was worthless since no job experience and was told to look up shit online 99% of the time.
>Learning that art > fun, drawing becomes less of a fun hobby into something that will determine if you'll have food on your table and straight up hell if you dont grind out good work fast and accurate to what is tasked and you in your own time have to research, ref and put things together to do so and often working even if out of the job hours to make it through schedule. Art becomes a business.
>I absolutely cannot for the life of me socially interact and make connections, maybe online, but that's an even larger competition.
>Procrastination/never gonna make it thoughts that creep up.
>Buying legal copies of softwares even if i know i could torrent because i want to be a good boy but knowing ithat it's a scam (especially yearly/monthly ones)
>Knowing that because everyone artist and their grandmas make character and knowing that environmental art is therefore superior due to the ratio and still having 0 idea how to draw enviros and do lighting, perspective and textures.
>Wanting to make an art blog but knowing im also my biggest enemy by not doing what's right and drawing everyday to make progress and improve also wanting art blog friends to make it together.
>Knowing despite me having uni and all my life problems i could've still had time improving all these years but didn't and it's my fault and i should be drawing right now and nothing's stopping me but me.

lel just let the isolation strengthen you. Gain skills. Eventually, people will follow you and approach you. Filter out the ones you don't like, only let the ones you like in. If you have the fame and skills, you don't need to go to people to befriend them like it's some job application, they come to you.

I HAVE NO FUCKING PATIENCE. I panic and start rushing. I don't know why. I lowkey feel intimidated by polishing/finishing process.
Also, everytime I draw something for more than 20 minutes it ends up looking worse than it would if I just left it as a sketch.
