I colored based on how I feel without reference for this one. May not be too accurate but I think I did it decently.

I know Kentaro Miura colored his rare and hard to find colored pages with a lot of oranges, reds, and yellows in the Black Swordsman era panels but I'm not Miura.

I will try to color some panels like he did. Looks like he used watercolor paints. The limited color palette adds a lot to the artwork, and sadly the deluxe editions don't include the colored panels when it's obvious a page was painted or colored.

Like my last few pfps it's based on the WIP from months ago posted by @NaggotFigger in his art thread


I also made both shots's individual frames into webps. They're not pro level and have a lot of small gaps or missed lines if you zoom in but it's neat to see them more clean like this.

I'd spend more time cleaning it up but I've got more pfp and project plans I'm running into the deadline for

it's a lot of fun but dealing with the technical side of things is just mind-numbing to me and I hate having to dig through forum posts and youtube videos to figure out why I just accidentally broke something and how to fix it
LLMs have been a godsend in that respect. A lot of digital tools I hated learning are now far more accessible when I can just ask the magic answer box how to unfuck or shortcut something.
 
I've genuinely looked through most of these and you're all so talented frens.
I used to love art as a kid and always thought it was gonna be my vocation, then I got this retarded idea in my head around 16-17 to not follow it because it wouldn't make money as a career. Fast forward a decade or two and I'm not in a career making money anyway. One of my biggest regrets, and it's too late to learn now.

I’m in my twenties it’s never to late to start drawing boxes
 
Never too late to start. As long as you make the time for it and practice consistently, you'll be able to make up for the lost time. Don't let your mind come up with excuses and just put some pencil to paper, you're not losing anything by trying.
I really don't think I could. I struggle with motivation at the best of times due to my meds and mental health issues. Where do I even begin?

Uhh draw a circle.

But seriously here's my best advice for getting started again: Typically when I get back into drawing I just start off with drawing what I like, then once I get back into the groove of things I'll start working on the fundamentals. Starting off with the fundamentals can be boring and offputting, so try to pick something that you're interested in drawing, and then learn the relevant skills required to draw that subject to improve from there. I recommend George Bridgman's books on anatomy as a good starting point, at least if drawing human(oid) figures is what interests you. Also Youtube is always available, just look up "How to draw X" and you'll find plenty of tutorials. Just don't overdose on Youtube tutorials, try finding one or two artists and learn from them, otherwise you'll get too much advice that sometimes contradicts each other.

As for finding motivation, that's something you'll have to find in yourself. If you have some free time, just try drawing something that interests you and see if you enjoy it. If you do, you'll want to do it on your own and you won't feel like you're forcing yourself. Right now it seems like you want to draw, but you're holding yourself back with excuses because you're afraid you won't be good enough. No one's ever good enough at first, just stick to it consistently for a long enough period of time and see where that gets you in a couple months or a couple years. You can always post your art here and get feedback, no one's going to shit on you for it, and if they do, fuck em'.

You know what, I've got an art pad. I'm gonna start doodling at least once a day. Let's see how it goes eh?
 
i also started in my 30s, doesn't matter at all. if anything we're at an advantage because our brains are developed and we're not in school all day and dealing with other child shit taking up our time. just draw every day. the most effective way to learn something is to do it daily. carry paper/pencil with you at all times. it will look like shit and you will probably hate the result, but all that matters is that you keep going every day because it will get better almost automatically. shit is magic. supplement with whatever you need as far as books/videos/etc, but the most important part is just getting that volume. you WILL learn from yesterday's mistakes, and you WILL be better tomorrow.
watch this shit nigga:

draw every day, use reference, the journey is the destination, etc. your imagination will grow like any other muscle, but you have to challenge yourself and all that. here are the unofficial thread mascots offering you some really good advice:
just draw.png
I like this post by @Elite Kipchak here because it really that simple, just draw, eventually you'll keep improving, and no such thing has starting to late, and I wouldn't use word talented, it mostly skill based thing, some thing are talent sure, but most everything you see can be learned, my advice is just draw anything and everything, doesn't matter if it sucks or not, you just keep going, most important thing is consistency, just build habit of drawing everyday, nothing perfect, hell even a 15 minute doodle on your lunch break is enough. Basically you wanna build it into atomic habit where you don't think, and making it really easy by setting things up with way less friction will be good idea since you said you have mental health issues.

Thread tax: very insecure about this piece I did, was unsure if I wanted to share it but don't have anything else at the moment.

Was using my gold powers to draw things from the media tab. Featuring my Kiwi plush from New Zealand. IMG_0705.jpeg
But then I got bored and started drawing monsters.
