Why do people get mad at me for wanting help with art?
People hire personal trainers to get into shape physically. I feel that I could get somewhere in life if I had someone who cared. Even if said person was paid to care... I know it sounds pathetic, but I’ve been beaten so far down mentally that this is how I actually feel. My metaphorical self has become weak and flabby. If I could get stronger I could learn to walk proudly on my own. Is it really wrong to feel this way?
The biggest issue is that I have not been able to find any help, or the help I found was so abstract that I became frustrated and confused. So people think that I’ve not been looking or that I’m pigheaded, stupid, and lazy. >___< All I see online are group courses or people offering help with learning a specific art program. Not help with anatomy etc. It’s frustrating, like what do I do in this situation? I don’t want to just give up. I also don’t want to be bullied or teased by people who don’t understand my PoV. Such things only make me feel worse about myself. I’ve become so tired of it. So it all boiled down to this long rant. I had to say all of this and get it out of my system.
I'm always around to help if I can. Though it might be easier on Discord or something.
cool thanks you have discord link?
I don't have a server. You can add me if you want though. I'll PM you my username.
alright ill add you
Personally I've found Sycra Yasin's drawover critique and private mentorship on Patreon very helpful. His offers are often sold out on Patreon but catching a slot is really worth it as he is objective and friendly. He's been doing this for a while next to creating youtube tutorials, so he has a good sense of what might help someone to improve. www.patreon.com/Sycra
Other than that, Adam Duff/ Lucidpixul seems interesting to me as a tutor as well as I enjoy his youtube channel. His option costs more but I bet it's worth it as he is very capable: www.lucidpixul.com/
There are surely a lot of other artists who offer something like this, either on Patreon or own websites.
I've done Google searches. If there are they are hard to find. I usually avoid Patreon. I don't really like it. Maybe I got sick of Youtubers throwing it in my face.
From the look and style of arts you had is really great improvement, but you need to understand the situation too, for example you're asking to person or group that have (sorry to say this) low talent or slow improvement of drawing compare with your own arts and what thing you need to improve it, but the thing of your art already the best of them all. That's like.... looking down what they don't want to know. Maybe for another example : (A) person has highest score with 96 from his class and then asking to his friends (B, C, D, and E they got low score in class) about what (A) person need to do for reaching score 100 or perfect score. Obviously they will mad and hate the (A) person for not being the grateful one.
Sometimes we need to look the situation first and is it appropriate to ask or not, well my suggestion try to talk with the person with similar or higher art style you looking for or maybe try to give some instruction for those who's need help, so the person you're helping is confident with you and can ask some opinion to him.
That's not really what's happening. I didn't ask them to help me. I said that I wanted a tutor and they think that's unnecessary. They don't seem to understand that my confidence is low and it impacts my productivity a lot. Looking up tutorials might work for them, but I feel a bit lonely and abandoned. I feel like having another person to help me get through the hard time I have with art would help with my mental trauma as well.
I think the tutor you need is not an art tutor, but more into self confident tutor or maybe some kind of psychology tutor i guess ?
I tried going to therapy, but they always gave up on me after a while... So I don't know where else to turn.
I don't know how to practice properly/efficiently. I've had people tell me that I don't draw what I see. I'm legally blind so it's a real issue. I have trouble with accuracy when practicing. I'd like someone to sit with me and help me walk through it even if I have to like screen share or something. I've been looking to pay a tutor, but have not found any who want to teach anatomy, and poses and such. So I've become frustrated. People have bitched at me for being frustrated and not just looking up Youtube videos. I feel like I need the interaction with another person. Youtube and tutorials feels so cold and distant. I'm a lonely person. x___x
Sometimes Youtube is all anyone can do. There a lot of people here that have little time to teach someone face to face.
Most of the people I talk to online have nothing but free time with this virus situation going on. I feel like there has to be someone out there that would like to make a bit of money while helping me. Saying YouTube is my only option is really disheartening. I'd like to believe that someone exists.
They have time now but teaching one on one has rarely turned out great for at least one person. I've heard stories like someone not getting paid or someone not becoming a super artists so thinking they shouldn't pay. I'm not saying you'll do that but that's why we have skillshare, youtube and classes.
I wouldn't do that to someone. That's sort of like going out to eat and not paying your bill because you say the food was bad, but you ate it all anyway. That's a selfish and toxic person. I don't want to be someone like that.
I'm not saying you would do it. I'm just saying that might a reason why.
I'm looking to pay someone to help me improve my art. Like say I do a screen share on Discord. They could tell me what I am doing wrong when practicing. So I could work on doing it alone with a bit more confidence that I'll actually improve.
My biggest issues are anatomy, poses, and expressions. I also know nothing about perspective. I'm not sure if those things fall into the categories you mentioned.
Take a look at my gallery and determine it yourself
