I've been drawing for months now and although I'm constantly improving, I feel like every decent thing I draw is based on randomness and luck.
I can't draw what I have in my mind and I can't draw the same face, character or object twice. It's all just random or luck. I can't stay consistent with proportions or replicate.
I want to get to the point already where I'm able to draw the same characters in different poses and expressions, so I can just animate something, at least basic.

Why do you keep making threads like these and calling your drawings luck? You have a strange complex around drawing that keeps you from just practicing consistently. Think of drawing like a sport, bball for example. You can shoot the ball and every once in a while it will go in. You may call it luck, but your shooting average really comes down to how much practice, study, and repetition you’ve done. The reason why your consistency is crap is because you don’t have any foundation yet, and you’re just throwing the ball up hoping some natural athleticism will get it in. That only goes so far without real practice. If you want to draw things from imagination, you have to draw them many times from reference and learn to reconstruct them on your own partly through memory and through understanding. The same way you practice your jump shot and can learn to make it from anywhere on the court under different situations.

>any experience wth large tablets
I do, the image I posted earlier with the clipboard is my old set up, and it's a bit hard to see but, underneath that clipboard is an Intuos 5 Large. I have experience with a wide variety of tablets including those with screens and I cannot recommend a large tablet enough. I will freely admit that some of the finest artists I know on a personal level have Medium tablets, however this speaks 100% to their abilities and not to the tablet itself, which I consider the bare minimum of useability. Every artist I'd been able to convince to upgrade to a large tablet over the years has been very appreciative, but sometimes when someone is quite good already they feel that what they are using is "sufficient" and they're apprehensive about trying something new even though it's a substantial quality of life upgrade no matter the skill level.

Given the time proficiency in art requires we need to start expecting better than "sufficient" from our equipment, there's no reason to be stingy over a few hundred dollars when we're talking about many years of effort, and there's no reason to settle on something that "works" when there's something so much better so readily available. People with a Medium Pro currently for example could get a large tablet without the stylus (many of the stylus are cross compatible with older models but dyor for specifics) for well under $100, it's really such a negligible amount of money for such a significant increase in precision and comfort.

You're just childish and letting your ego get in the way. It's impossible to become successful without some people helping you along the way. Perhaps you don't think your art isn't good enough to get a bigger following yet?

because they copy and trace from their favourite artist but they construct when copying. They make their own atari first and start to draw. Just copying without thinking is just a waste of time. Also you need basic proportions. 1 head, 2 head for torax, and 4 or 5 heads for legs. Etc.

Why obsess over learning modern fundamentals to the point of complete sadness when you could just draw from imagination (with a pinch of real-life observation) and simply "have fun with a pencil"? To hell with proportions, perspectives and all that dispensable technicality, the reason cameras were invented in the first place. So take the Medieval-pill and be happy, anons. You won't regret it.

It is just me or there is literally almost no progress in 99% of the shit posted there? Not only the 2 to 4 years comparison post, there is a vibe of sadness to even comparisons longer than that. Are normogroids really that slow at learning in general or only intelligent people can get good at art?
