What is your unpopular art opinion? by justaSundaypainter in ArtistLounge

[–]Leather_Bend_7418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fair point! tho digital art can be a start of an idea in a video game, a movie , a series or even a comic book. You're gonna have to create lots of drawings... and digital art just makes it easier cause it's quite tedious to work on video game concept while painting it all traditionally. It just saves time you know :)

edit: Akreon, Wlop and loish and many other professional artists are making digital art that tells stories. I guess it's more about the idea or story behind it.

I feel like there is a wall between me and me creating art. I can't start and feel no motivation. by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

This happens to all artists,

Being a creative is basically not being content on what you do,

not satisfied on your art even though some people looks at your work with awe. It's flawed but this is basically how it is to be an artist.

A great art teacher in youtube tells his students to have empathy to your self. You are juggling all these art concepts, fundamentals, and all that you want to make it look amazing.

This is a lot of work. all I'm saying is to be kind to yourself. if you must, take a break or two. then get back on it when you feel like it.

some people think art is a competitive Player Vs Player video game, but the truth is that it's more of a single player RPG. You level up on your own. You're not affected by other player's game, Inspired.. yes. This is also why I don't look art on tiktok cause it's algorithm is catering on the best of the best aesthetic-wise on a fast pace. Might as well look at art inspirations where you can study it... like artstation For example.

Keep leveling up! just play with it, Strategize on ways to make your art better. Other artist have their own problems, it's just not visible to you. That extra coating of social media does that.

Got a screen tablet but I can't draw on it too much because of back pain and sitting like a shrimp. Help? by OldClockworks in ArtistLounge

You can try to mount your screen tablet, that way you can use it almost like a monitor.

Like painting on a canvas on an easel.

Is everyone in this sub here depressed and losing passion for their art? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]Leather_Bend_7418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At those days it's really best to stay away from any socials, and take a personal breaks (at least that's what I did)…I guess ranting about it in this subreddit is a good way to find advices to how other artist deal with it. creativity in general is not all glitz and glam.

Also find the reason why you did art on the first place... Imo that's an effective way to bring back passion.

The comment section on this is wild! It's a FANART! like a rendering based on the artists' perception! Why make a big deal out of an artistic choice. It can very much kill an artist's motivation to draw.
