>Can't actually write about any of the things I want to because they'd all suit a visual medium better.

I wish I got into drawing instead of writing. I want to create vivid visual worlds. I find that most written worlds are incredibly boring and uninteresting, but now I'm stuck because I'm only good at writing instead of drawing.

What do I do?

Think of a girl you wanted to have sex with but external forces prevented you from being able to make that dream into reality.

Just grind drawing bro. Draw a lot every day. Draw for fun. Draw things you enjoy. Study fundamentals. Do drawing exercises. But never let it become tedious. Listen to music while drawing and get into a flow state. Let it become a meditative time for you.

How do I do more than just one shitty line art drawing a week? I've been trying to get faster. I want to make hundreds of drawings fast. Everything about the comic making process also looks really complicated and impossible for me to figure out and exhausting.

A lot of times I can barely get myself to start. I've only done a few loomis heads at most.

>I suck at this art form that I really want to do
>Instead of working on that, I’ll focus my time and energy onto a different art form I also suck at and don’t even like as much
How long will you run in circles before you start doing something you enjoy

I was writing and roleplaying for nearly 12 years before this. Am I just not interested in anything by your logic then?

>>24661936
Not OP but I have very poor small motor control as a result of a seizure when I was young. I know a great deal about visual art, but I cant paint or draw for the life of me because I cant manipulate the instruments to conjure what's in my mind. This isnt about practice, it's about aptitude. I'm not some lobster clawed retard, if it was mandatory I could conceptually create something reasonable enough even with my limited abilities, but I will never be able to achieve even rudimentary technical skills.

So, I learned to write. I spent 15 years practicing. I developed a style and a voice, and now I'm able to do what OP cant. Helps that I have an eidetic memory, but goddamn does it suck mega ass to be able to recall extreme detail at a glance that I cant manifest in a visual medium.

>roleplaying
Stop playing roles and be yourself.

What the fuck does this even mean and how is it going to help me learn how to draw?

>>24661972
Roleplay as someone who can draw well. You’re already delusional so you may as well leverage that to some kind of advantage.

How about give actual advice instead of these smart-ass comments?

>>24661986
Drawing advice on the lit board? I would recommend you start reading a book and then imagine each character as your mother. Once you account for all the added weight and density, sketch a drawing of each character. Ideally you will be drawing variations of the same obese image, which will train you to read literature and draw at the same time. I recommend sharpies and larger pens to account for your mother’s stately figure. She is widely considered.

I have two published games on steam that haven't made me much money, I have a partially written novel, have some art I've made, some music I produced, I literally don't know what the fuck to do

>>24661669 (OP)

How do I learn how to draw well fast? I want to make hundreds of these drawings over and over, and I want to be able to do more than one shitty figure per drawing session. I'm fucking tired of only being able to do a single one of these a week at most, and all of them looking like a retarded twelve year old did them.

At this rate it's going to take me a fucking decade to draw anything remotely passable. And that's not even mentioning the fact that I want to draw entire comics, and I want to make stories in a visual medium. What the fuck do I do? Is there anything that can be done about this?

> What do I do?
Draw Bridgman twice. We’ve been over this.

How do I learn "how do I learn" type-postings? How do I write "how do I draw that which I cannot write" type-thinkings ? And moreso, how do I draw "how do I write that which cannot be seen" type-writings ? And from where did the first photon arise, that now colours my world type-sight ? And if I was never ordained into sickness of sign and semantic, how would I write "how do I write that which cannot be read" type-postings ?

Have you tried photography?

>>24661669 (OP)
Do not respond to Howie threads

i like your drawings so much! i think you try :)

I can draw very well, but writing is hard as fuck. Writing actually requires creativity.

Just learn blender to make scenes and model characters, then trace over in krita. Bam don't need to care about perspective.
