I'm an /int/ and a high /int/ on good days
I used to trace/closely copy a LOT. And still I like to gather images with interesting poses and when I draw I find myself copying them more than I should. I'm not tracing them anymore, but it feels like I'm cheating. Sometimes I borrow the shapes and forms the reference has. I no longer copy anything too closely, but I always wonder if someone out there will know the image I used as a reference. I wonder if it will get me into trouble...
I also used to be an art thief back in middle school and would also pretend I drew and wrote random manga but that's cringe in general... I think I've come to terms with it though and I don't think I would actually get in trouble for such actions anymore? After all, it was middle school. Most people are retarded in middle school... So maybe one day I'll at least confess to my past as an art thief publicly... Or I won't and it'll stay buried who knows
Another confession is I haven't actually bought an art book or lesson in a little under a decade... Not because I don't want to, but because I can't as a poorfag. I feel bad about it but there's nothing that I can really do until I actually have money. I wish I could support artists financially...
I've also told my friends I draw every day but I haven't done that in a long long time. instead I binge draw on days and pretend my drawings were done over the course of X amount of days instead of just one. I'm not really ashamed of this, but now it'd be awkward to say I don't draw every day with how much I hyped that up as part of the learning process... Which I still stand by, but eventually you just don't have to draw every single day. I mean it's still ideal but you get what I mean
>>5767797Same here I just make sure to stretch it a lot and take breaks and sometimes I draw with my forearm-elbow but not often enough... My wrist still hurts after I draw for 7+ hours straight though. I'm sure that's a sign to stop doing it but...
