Drawing on and off, mainly just endless exercises and studies.
I’ve done some sketches that were more finished than others but haven’t colored anything in a long time.
I have a more focused study plan now so I hope I can get back to finishing something this year.

Even if art's not your job (yet) surely theres a piece or two you guys really want to commit to unto completion? What exactly is stopping you?

I’m just garbage, and really slow, so any time I try to draw a completed piece it takes forever and looks like shit.
I’ve been specifically grinding studies to improve my speed so hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

>I’ve been specifically grinding studies to improve my speed so hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
There is, unironically.
I've noticed with speed practice (for sketches and even big projects like the OP) the main thing that impacts your speed (I'm sure you've had this issue too) is perfectionism.
>this line is too messy
>that colour isn't proper
>it's too scratchy looking
You genuinely have to learn to dismiss that nagging voice inside your head if this is one of the factors fucking with you bro.
Also deadlines can help tighten your focus, be it deadlines from others or self-imposed. Like pic related was my Christmas themed Pinup for this year and I got it done on Christmas morning despite all my other projects/comms/etc because the pressure of the holiday enabling me to focus harder.

>Woman
Not hyper-rendered revealing clothing yet somehow completely devoid of sexual energy (likely just drawing it for the easy patreon bux) so I really doubt it. Also not extremely gross tumblr tier fat and stretch marks and body hair, so probably not a lesbian either.
>Gay man
The most exaggerated hyper feminine bodies and faces, absolutely 0 detectable androgyny in any part of the illustrations; the better question would be why you would even ask something so silly?
To test a theory of mine - will you please confirm that you are a woman (probably 30+)?
It's like some sort of female instinct to put men down by calling them gay, even when it makes absolutely no sense. His work is teeming with virile energy, and the fact that you can't see that is a big tell.

>>7851474
Shitpost drawings are good practice and will get you to a point where you can shitpost with almost any of your drawings because you've drawn so much.
>>7851790
>Good on you for making finished pieces and actually posting them.
This is an artboard bro, I'm surprised more people don't post their work and even in my art's infancy I still posted it. It's probably all the criticism (just or unjust) that deters people from posting anything.
I will post what I draw regardless.

You're right, most straight men can tell when a woman or a gay man draw something aimed at them, the art always miss something like there's no sexual energy, no desire, it's just a generic naked woman looking at the camera, it's AI prompt / Sakimeme tier of boring slop.

There's a few artists that sign there work with an object/face but those guys are fuckhuge in their following to the point everyone knows its them (mainly through their artstyle).
Recommend you decide on a name cause that'll essentially be your brand and your foundation bro!

>He tends to focus on his males a lot tho
Nah I got an answer for that because a lot of people are usually surprised by how well I draw men.
Before the hentai I drew hypermasculine grimdark musclebound men in lots of armour in violent situations so my knowledge of male muscle anatomy was already there, then I started drawing women more seriously

I've started 22 pieces since January 1st and have completed 9 of them lol (which is not a great record - which is why my pile of unfinished work just never stops growing)
3 studies
4 paintings
1 colour illustration
1 sketch commission
pretty good so far.
Favourite piece was pic related (series of 3 sketches for DAD challenge - probably only getting one done for the deadline tho)

Thanks bros, I tell other young/struggling artists to always be drawing regardless of their current quality and to sign their works, including WIPs because that's how you learn/improve/excel.
For me the reason I draw so much is because it's both my literal job now AND I genuinely love drawing. I 've drawn so much the past 4 years ever since finally monetizing my art that I'm unironically immune to mental burnout and and physical carpal tunnel.
>ex. If I get bored of a specific piece I'll "take a break" from it by drawing something else, and once I'm good I'll go back to what I was working on.
I implore and assure you all that curbing your perfectionism (which all us artists have) and drawing regardless of what others say is the way forward.
And always sign your work, even sketches and WIPs!

my projects take months and i cycle through them depending on whatever my autistic special interest is at the time. i can't really think of the last project i've "finished" as i always inevitably go back into old projects to improve them when my skill level increases.
today, i finished the aft shield generators on deck 2. that's about it.
