Hey team/Friends.

It's been a long time and I'm so sorry for not posting. To my followers; I'm not very active here, nor do I entirely respect this place. The content  and enviroment here of course is..uh..not adult,professional, or artistic at times.

I'm in a Private University and rather wish you check these sites out if you deem your career more or less professional or intermediate.
I'll still be commenting and looking at art but posting is not a priority at this moment.
School is and I could care less about the the deviatations here. I need real senior game artists and directors to latch onto for advice and work ethic. 

Sites for you to advance with me:

www.artstation.com/
www.conceptart.org/forums/
www.zbrushcentral.com/
www.ctrlpaint.com/
www.fusroda.com/

(mine: www.artstation.com/artist/teaz…)

I'd link more but I want you guys to study and research your own things and tell me how you feel about your art whenever.

Looking forward to be alive here somewhere atleast.

Passing the Basics.

Did you know that not ALL knowledge and tutorials are godang dandy? Well, sure you don't need to learn or partake in them. But wouldn't YOUR rather have the best cleanest ride to art education.
Hi,
Billy mays here.

With this new free mothafuckin MASTERPOST I'm about to LAY down. Your art can get a good exercise and WOO is it fun refreshing and educational.

NOW, I was gonna start slow (Post seperate journals, seperate information and seperate types) BUt I don't want to clutter so this may come in two parts. Maybe! If you enjoy this.

What this is
  • Tips and tricks of my art education.
  •  How to know you are learning ,
  •  being able to teach other artist fetus, 
  • seeing whats good art  
  • What isn't making your art better.
  • What you would need to do.
What this isn't
  • Your art teacher
  • Your bossy Gaurdian parent.
  • Your law statements.
  • A guide on how to draw.
In BASICALLY in my 5-6+ years of drawing these are BASICS I'm about. 

"Tea what the frignuts no one learns like you do stop pushing your ideologies on us babies who want it for fun an hobby, no one takes art seriously like you , besides YOU'RE still learning."

:bademoticon:  YOU THINK WE JUST HIT PERFECTION? YOU THINK THAT WE CAN STOP LEARNING?  
Shut your butts and get prepared! This is what i recommend and what I now and learn and I will keep sharing my knowledge!

Good art to me is whatever music you put to that art piece, and it just fits no matter what song. And it's drawn in your head with THAT song. It's impossible to please everyone and everyone has a different specifc type of tastes but can relate to something , anything of what they deem good style for instance... An audience will adore something mainstream, not mainstream, humor, gorgous, fan art-y, or even concept. If that tune and song in their head harmonizes with YOUR art harmony the audience will want mroe of it. 

Depending on how you want to improve it takes different routes, time paces and views! But I'm not here how to each you what the people want and how to be the hot stuff just starting point of feeling your home in art.

What I wish someone told me beginning art.
  • Don't sweat pace. Never discourage your motivation.   Your pace is the most important thing. Although it may take hours to days to create and finish your master piece sometimes it doesn't come out the way you want but remember your audience doesn't see you hate your art only if you say and make them think it. What is ACTUALLY happening
  • Improvement takes YEARS. Maybe more maybe less. No matter WHAT though it's no one elses job to tell you what YOUR improvement should look like and be. Set your own bar.
  • KEEP YOUR OLD WORK. ALWAYS ALWAYS. Motivate yourself with your pace. Look back on YOUR own progress on not others and say "I'm doing good because I'M improving and not on anyone elses watch!" Ony of my mistakes was throwing away my work that I rarely made. I never got the chance to look into the past and keep learning from that instead I shyed away from it and only wanted future perfections and raised the bar WAY too high for myself at the time. 
  • Break your strides sometimes. One of the things I would have a habit of, as a young artist, saying "It's just a hobby" And I was never drawing until I knew I could think I could do it. I would read and read and read on how to draw a stupid leg but I wouldn't pick up a pencil for that leg drawing. We think feeding ourselves this education balances it allll, just not doing it. You could read about rock climbing experiences and how to survive it and peoples guides but unless you ACUALLY have hands on, and stop being afraid to take that leap from a rocky place, you will climb to improvement. Stop telling yourself "This is THE ONLY WAY." Because there is hundreds of techniques and styles and books. You just need to break into it all sometimes.
  • GET OUT OF THAT COMFORT ZONE. You've probably headr this a bunch of times. Stop drawing your style for one day ATLEAST and feel the motions and the creative mindset of drawing different. The best advice if I can remember back then on this was "If your bad at something start loving it." And don't be afraid to draw something new and scary. "I can't draw that! Thats above my skill level!" Try to draw it anyways. SIT DOWN and relax and MIMIC it on your paper. Know it will be bad and you will feel shame because it's not your pretty girl anime oc's? The entire point is to not put a level of value on your art but a level of GROWTH. THERE IS NO SUCH THING as limits. We make our own prison cells. And to free oneself from the cell comfort zone is to look beyond and know where we stand and know it DOESNT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. You can draw ANYTHING.
  • Stop punishing yourself. We are our own worst critiques. When you become proud of your art you sometimes "Don't want to hear it blah blah I finally like this ONE dont say anything if if its not nice for gosh sakes!" or "Just tell me it's crap already." We can't expect someones reactions to our art to cater to us so stop critiqueing yourself for yourself. Yes, it's good to know where you are at but if it's at a standpoint where you can't also see someones stance in a well known view you too, need work on yourself. All art like I said wont be in harmony with somone. And sometimes they wont care. And when the time comes that it doesn't show don't just put on a masking sheild. NEVER make an excuse. "Well yknow you can't say that because this represents my feelings and struggle". Know and educate yourself. Rather than that say;" I can ALWAYS learn from this. Even though this doesn't mean my art is bad or the best I, on my own paced skill, can keep going from this and/or because of this." Take EVERYTHING you can get sometimes. The harsh comments. The fangirl over reacting tears. Aslong as you don't SIT on it. NEVER decide someones words define you and your art. But ALWAYS be open to the public view.
  • MEDIUMS DON'T REALLY MATTER. "But I couldn't draw my SICK AS RAD OCS EFFECTS like I could on paper!" Your skill isnt on a tablet or photoshop or the HOTTEST DIGITAL SOFTWARE. You could download the nicest things have the nicest pencils. Have the nicest copics and the FANCIEST of inks hon hon. But in reality your patience and skill is all that matters. No matter what someone can do it on whatever you give them. 
  • Not every HOW TO tutorial is a god given gift.  To THIS day I have a greedy problem with this. I favorite ALL artists advice, tutorials, and sometimes go to their home page or twitter and hog what they offer. I CRAVE dat education. But I never stepped back and ask "What is this that I'm actually learning.." For instance I never COMPARED. I would look up 'HOW TO DRAW THE ANIMU EYES" and just fucking. eat. it . up. EVERYTHING WAS IMPRESSIVE SO :"THAT MEAZNS EVERYTHIN IS GOOD FOR MEE!!" Get to know what you want. Want to be semi realism. reasearch it up . Reasearch the best semi realistic artists. compare both and see what they offer, ask THEM what and how they learned and if that's hard and no use always keep looking into the subject of semi realism. Studying tutorials are and should be seen as TIPS and REFERENCEs and never HOW I WILL DRAW FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE SO LETS GET IT ALLLL IN. One of the worst cases I had teaching another stubborn artist was giving them links and all that I know and they put it into their little stash and said "wow thanks!"... and not ask a single fucking question. They didn't even ask for more or if it was too much or wonder if all I linked them was gifs of dogs and I could have done that because I might as well have, since their art stayed the same and I never once seen a new branching style or here any critiqueing response. They just saw "that looks fancy and good and valuable and now it's mine."
  • Talk to other better artists. Keep an open mind. I asked the concept artist once who once worked on the famous game "Conkers Bad Fur Day" on how he picked up and started drawing his current project. And He was working on MANY MANY projects and experienced the highest and lowest places of concept art. It's VERY INSIGHTFUL to ask on other views of their work forces and places and where to start. He was initially drawing mecha art at the time for his stream and I asked How could I get into the subject of such mecha's and although it was a simple questions and he wasn't endorsed on teaching mecha art he knew where he had begun himself. I actually got more answers watching him then getting my own answers, letting an artist branch into their subject and knowledge you will learn more than you initially could ever know from the start. Ask questions let others ask and letting him answer what wasn't even asked and was asked and just more. Having his experienced and one of a kind answer was fresh and new and always be glad and thankful to better artists. Because one day they may also be your boss. But also one day the teacher maybe the student. (P.S His answer was somewhat along the lines of look at robot anime and concept mecha type books and other mecha things and think out the mechanics and ways they move!) So Be VERY imaganitive, open minded and think think think on how to execute your illusion for the right feel.

My book collection and knowledge climbs with art. But Sometimes I FORGET EVERYTHING I learned originally and just google "how to paint a nice butt" and I went from learnging on anime butts well to how to paint picasoo butts better. This is what everyone REALLY wants and heck i'm excited to share but this is WHAT I USED and perhaps like to go back to learn in. This isn't how I DRAW NOW and i change from time totime with teachers and youtubers of art and styles and harmonies of what I like. Education at best matters but also know whats right for you.
Need help drawing anime bodies? Get to know a women and mans body in realism and dumb it down to your style or look at other peoples art and get the intitial idea of anatomy. It doesn't all have to branch from anime allt the time!
--

I was initially going to link all my books, links, art concept websites, how to websites, and just overall how i learned and where I got it and side inspirations that help with ideas to improve BUT I have other work to be busy busy busy on! AND I would like to know if you want to see it. What more do you want to see. How do wantto learn how to color or sketch or paint and next I will add that on the Masterpost Knowledge.

Thank you so much for reading this and if you do I will especially try to work with you hand in hand my experience, websites and tips.
