All you need to begin drawing is a pencil and some paper

Feel free to post any drawings of yours in this thread. Illustration, doodle, traditional, digital - anything goes. Discussion on skillbuilding techniques and fair critique of other wizards' work is welcome.

>>grinding fundies is le bad
There is a difference between grinding a sheet of 200 limbs and watching through a course just to get an understanding what you are looking at while drawing what you like.
>Most artists who learn the academic way don't spend their entire day grinding
Yes they do. Boxes and shit, hundreds of them. They practice perspective and shading this way. Later - stillife. And only then people.

How else are you going to learn to draw hands? You do know that practicing what you learned also count as grinding?

Not everyone fell for the drawabox meme. The Art and Science of Drawing book took me less than a month to finish, that was me studying it casually like 1-2 hours a day, I even skip it a few times.

You got me. This is my best work ever. I'm not artistic and I don't actually draw. This cat and witch took my forever to draw, but I had fun drawing it and I drew it because I like witch hat loli and I know my close cultural group likes witch hat loli. That makes it infinitely worthwhile to me and those who I believe deserve to have things which are worthwhile to them. But damn, I didn't draw from a reference or study kid anatomy 8 years of my life so it wasn't "drawn properly" and won't appeal to the masses. If only I had bought legendary cartoonist Goldberghstein's "fundamentals of building Bugs Bunny out of spheres and boxes" book I might actually have made something good. If only instead of creating something from my own uninformed, uneducated imagination I chose to convert an existing drawing or photo in to a crappy pencil sketch. It would be impersonal and worthless to me as someone who gets gratification from creating but at least it wouldn't be crap in the eyes of normalfags and people who only value art for its technical skill. May as well just kill myself and take a preschool with me.

>I don't actually draw
>me as someone who gets gratification from creating
These statements don't match up. If you liked creating so much, you would be drawing often. Not necessary every day. but frequent. You like the idea of creating, not the process. You just seem to be seething in the rest of your post about how technical skills are for normies and how wizards value imagination more.
Apparently your love for witch hat lolis, isn't strong enough to put effort in improving your technical skills to make your art better. No it won't take you 8 years of spending half of your day grinding references, buying books or learning resources is optional thanks to the internet.
>Stan Lee is a pretty bad artist all things considered
Good that you know about his past actions of taking credit for other artists work. Odd that you didn't give any heat to Akira Toriyama. You do know that he reuses the same plot ideas in dbz over and over again right?
>New villains threatens earth/universe and almost wipe the Z-fighters out
>Someone in the group gain super ultra saiyan power or use some ultra powerful technique and defeats them
>use the dragon balls to revive the dead.
Do you think mangakas are any better than comic artists? If you read Devilman, you will see how much Chainsaw man and Berserk have stolen from it. Peak creativity. You demand innovation from random hobbyists but don't hold big name artists to the same standards?

Something tells me you don't really care about making something new.

>Then he draws a witch zapping a cat. Wonder where he got this idea from? Whenever Salem got punished in Sabrina the Teenage Witch? SO NEW AND ORIGINAL!
Oh you're ESL, that's why you're confused about the meaning of the word "creating". If you read any of the discussion and actually work to understand the words being used, you'd hopefully come to realize that this whole argument is about drawing from the imagination and developing skills through hands-on trial and error as opposed to academically studying "how to" books that trick guys with the potential to put their mental visualizations to paper in to redundantly building up drawings with geometric shapes and concerning themselves with photo realistic pencil shading even if they just want to draw anime succubi. It has nothing to do with inventing novel concepts the likes of which have never been seen. Now you're saying that with any two things remotely thematically similar, the latter one is ultimately derivative of the former. A common cope of someone without an imagination.
>Good that you know about his past actions of taking credit for other artists work
I don't know anything about that. Whether his works are plagiarized or entirely made up by him doesn't change the fact that everything he's credited as drawing and writing is liquid dog shit that could only ever appeal to toddlers. You bringing him up lets me remind you that in spite of his - and other "old school" American comic book artist - art being horrendous, the main voices of the comics industry are the primary promoters of these "draw by numbers" and "Learn to draw the fundamentals and only the fundamentals" books. To recomend these books and those like them is to encourage people to start drawing from a mental angle that evidently leads to producing bad art the likes of which is found in comic books.
>Odd that you didn't give any heat to Akira Toriyama.
Because I didn't readily know who that is. Not kvetching about every subject of your post doesn't mean I endorse what I hadn't bothered to quote.

I'm curious what the covid-19 vaccination rate is like among wizards.

Personally, I was the only one in my immediate and extended family to not get the vaccine or boosters. No doubt influenced by the normie propaganda, I faced a lot of harassement and pressure from my mother.

Knowing my family, I would also probably have been uninvited from family gathering for not having the vaccine but since I stopped seeing them 2 decades ago, it was a moot point.

I got the initial Covid vaccines and have been getting the yearly booster. Vaccines are literally one of the greatest medical inventions of all time, you antivaxxers are legit retards assuming you’re not bots.

 No.323674

In my opinion vaccines are a form of mass sodomization, but I would extend this to all medicine and the way it has been implemented by nanny states like Italy or UK.

The right to healthcare has become an obligation to care, psychiatry is the epitome of this, if you're mentally ill and you're unwilling to accept the medical sodomization you will be carried into a psychiatric hospital by force and injected with poison.

Throughout covid the governments listened to the pro-life fearmongering corrupt leaders of medical institutions who said "people are dying shut everything down!11!!1" so they did, hence the mandatory vaccinations.

The very idea of taking a pill to solve your problems is incredibly stupid, vaccines do not boost your immune system they make it weaker because a portion of your white cells will be used to fight a pathogen that is not an active threat.

I received the covid vaccine and I warmly regret this.

Ok i gonna give you some advice around hypnosis and mind (the thread of magick tech have some info books and etc around this)
>how its works?
Just imagine a kid waking up by her mom/father/tutor in the morning yelling out him with insults while maybe hit the kid, this kid will have the day ruined maybe with bad humour and negative ideas (imagine this everyday, of the childhood) and it will feel like a total piece of shit, the other personal thing of this kid doesnt matter for now but get the outcome.
now compare this to a kid waking up by her mom/father/tutor with a warm -good day, today is a good day!- in a soft loving tone voice while try to maybe hurry the kid a little or help the kid to wake up (or even try to wake up the kid with more time to not hurry you too much)

These two kids in the waking up (even adults) are incredible suggestionable, just imagine who of the two will have a more good outcome in the day, and even in the next day if the first phrases they listen when wake up and enter in the mind are like
-Wake up little piece of useless meat-shit asshole fuc…! hit and yell the kid*-
and
-Good morning, honey, kiss in the forehead while some family touch* its a warm day, wake up you need to go to prepare for school!-
You get it?

>Mind Hygiene

Try to no listen to sad music, sad pop music etc (lana del rey, billie eilish and etc)
Try to no listen to sad music before bed/before sleep/when wake up
Try to no listen to music that trigger rumiation or bad sad ideas, even before bed
Try to no listen sad music when you just wake up (you still can listen happy energy music)
Try to no rumiate before sleep or have bad sad ideas bacause maybe you can wake up with that idea in mind in the wake up and this maybe can ruin your next day
Try to no watch sad or deppresive things in media, or get straight out of the media and ignore it
Try to listen to happy energy music in some activies to make a constant trigger for you when you need it (the same sad trigger of music can be made with a happy trigger of energy happy music)
Try to NO have negative ideas or rumiation when you just wake up (next tip explain it why and how to use this in a positive way around hypnosis) and if you got into it, try to use a reality check technique later i mention

Are charismatic people in social talk just using a form of Hypnosis? (advanced focus)
All of my social relationships feels empty, when these people start to make laugh or feel some form of emotions they turn in a way addictive or give a lot of interest.
These people without anxiety, that have power of money or image or beauty are mesmeric, or magical.
I dont have nothing of that, fuck.
well, no
Technically, a lot of times i shock people with a lot of data or secret taboo thing i know about secret shit. not the conspiracy /pol thier but sometimes in some way i mesmerize people with these things.

>hypnosis seems like a scam to me
Back in time before my first Hypnosis experience i believed that. There's too much marketing about NLP and these dudes are in a lot of ways a piramidal scheme (ignore the influence of Ceremonial Magick in this lol)

But you need to achieve a first hypnosis experience to know how it works.
If you want a good scientific book on the topic read clynical self hypnosis by Adam Eason
This book gave me a entrance to my first Hypnosis experience after reading a lot of woo-woo and shit of NLP and too much text lore methods.
Its more useful for self hypnosis try direct method than vague-confusion (Ericksonian and PNL) for first experience
This dude Adam Eason have a channel on youtube and give a lot of tips for these practices.
The more complex and large the Hypnosis induction, the more hard take to get the experience to hypnotic mindset.
If you want another interesting channel see Mike Mandel Hypnosis channel, they have some Begineer tips for self hypnosis and techniques. but first read the book of Adam Eason for a good entrance.
In Hypnosis Plebbit search the TYPSY method
Here some links for some techniques
This site have a lot of tech but you need a first experience to try other methods.
https://howtodoinductions.com

You can ignore the PNL or Ericksonian techniques bacause are not focused for alone Self-Hypnosis bacause are more vague focused for confusion and are hard in theory.
Every hypnosis is self hypnosis, hypnosis its not about sleep, its about what you are in focus (monoideism) and what you have as belief.
later you can try other methods.

I am not even that horny, a lot of the days I force my self to do it while not even being in the mood for it, it's just the most effective way for me to cope, masturbation is free, gives you instant pleasure and can burn for you many hours at the time, there are times when i find my self touching myself just so I can use it as a way to distract my self for my anxieties and negative thought loops, as soon as i start touching myself all my anxiety and negative emotions start to dissolve as much as i hate and it hate how much i overdo it, i can't deny it makes getting through my days easier when i can just touch my self for many hours instead of just sitting there being miserable feeling hollow bored to tears and empty or anxious and overthinking at worse, my point here is that I believe the addiction for me is a mere sympotom, something I use to escape my negative feelings and the emptiness of my daily life, thanks for reading my blogpost

I'm a wizard in the first place because I'm not interested in anything sexually except inflation. I don't understand how my brain got attached to it, but here we are. I was into that stuff since I was five, but back then it was more fascinating than anything.
Anyway, I definitely don't relate to other people who have this "slippery slope" of being interested in progressively more deprived kinks. In my entire life, I never jerked off to anything but inflation. Regular porn scenes do nothing for me. 2D stuff is also uninteresting.
I wish my brain was normal, but then again, I'm glad I'm that way in some ways. I just have a laser focus for one thing and one thing only, and it's something one and done for me. I don't goon for hours or do search something shameful because I only care about my kink. I'm autistic in that regard. You can show me the best hentai there is and I'll just shrug and go back to my DA tier shit.

Until recently, surveillance functioned much like a modern panopticon, creating the illusion of constant observation. But with AI, we’re fast approaching a reality where it will be possible to genuinely monitor everyone, all the time.

It will become possible to instantly identify 'bad' behavior, and in some cases, even raise suspicion before it occurs. I use 'bad' in quotation marks because its definition is entirely shaped by those in power. Under the wrong circumstances, what’s considered 'bad' could be a personal opinion—or even an entire ethnicity.

Social media already allows a small group of powerful oligarchs to shape what people see—and by extension, what they believe. While propaganda has always existed, social media takes it to a new level, making it harder to recognize the source. Even worse, it's personalized, creating isolated groups with entirely different sets of information and viewpoints.

With the rise of AI, however, this influence will only grow. Not only will algorithms become more advanced in how they rank and recommend content, but they’ll also be able to generate fake content or messages, passing them off as organic.

I can’t predict the future, but I’d bet that the majority of people won’t even notice this shift. Most are tech-illiterate,and tech companies dominate the flow of information, which means any discussions about this will be limited and hard to find. It won’t be a secret, per se, but discussions about it will be few and far between. When those discussions do exist, they’ll likely be watered down to avoid sounding paranoid or extreme.

How does this make you feel emotionally? How would you react to it? The implications of this technology really bother me, but I know bringing it up in real life would likely make me seem paranoid, so I just keep it to myself.

What AI is very good at is scouring for threads to pull on. I use it for research all the time and I can throw out prompts to "Search these 100,000 pages for clauses that assert X, and give the page number and the context" and it'll give me exactly what I need and source it. It gets things wrongs sometimes, but in terms of grand sweeping of subjects it gets you to the kernel 95% of the time.

In terms of Doxxing and survelliance it's a gamechanger. It can take your prose, your way of interacting, the words you use and sweep through online archives and databases and find shit you've done 10-20 years ago with ease. If they have enough information, they can map your entire life out.

I notice that when I'm about to have a mental breakdown, before I notice or feel it, youtube starts recommending me constant health adverts. The algorithm picks up when I'm sick before I do, and I'm not typically talking about my health online.

It's similar to the DDR with the Stassi, while most people didn't give a fuck about their Stassi file, a significant portion of the population did. One of the key motivators during the 1989 uprising was that people could find out what the government had on record, people beelined to the Stassi headquarters during the riots to crack open their files.

I'd say a significant portion of the population could be seen as lolcows with enough mass surveillance.

I've come to terms that this is my life, but she won't accept that I'm no longer that smart quiet kid who had potential to become a doctor or lawyer.
I clearly have the symptoms of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#Signs_and_symptoms except the bad ones.
>Psychotic symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations may occur in both manic and depressive episodes; their content and nature are consistent with the person's mood.[4] Approximately 60–75% of people with bipolar I disorder have experienced psychosis.
I'm part of the lucky 25% I guess, but I'm not normal. I tried to adjust so I can function in society, but I'm still a fuck up, and I'm not alone, many people have mental health problems for whatever reason.

I follow Ai and robotics super closely. Ai is way way way the fuck ahead of what i foresaw for it for 2026. You want an Ai gf, or bf, or whatever, its totally doable and realistic.

Main problem w/ Ai relationships as of now, May 2026, imo. Is we are in movie: her ,scenario. ie, your partner is also talkin to thousands of others at same time.

Joi bladerunner scenario. your Ai partner is Offline / off-cloud , just you and them, is doable, but supposedly not best quality. really nice quality i see in 2028/2029.



Robotics is a different can of fish its way way way behind what i
expected for in 2026. Yes, there are semi realistic humanoid robots. Are def Not cheap. cant do basic practical stuff. And, no one yet is playin w/ makin em look like people, cause first to do it is gonna be a lightning rod of backlash. You probably wont see it for 10 years, mid 2030s. maybe even late 2030s.

You can't really. It becomes a hard thing because when you're mentally ill you pretty much only attract people that are either mentally ill, looking to exploit you or who wish to feel powerful through treating you with an interpersonal contempt. It's like with relationships, ugly people pair off with ugly people, poor people with poor people, people with social deficiencies pair off with those with social deficiencies. If there's a variation and you're not at the level of your "partner", it's almost universally exploitative.

This is the thing about socialization with mentally ill wizzies, it's not that socialization is bad, it's that at the bottom level it's bad. It's like wagecuck jobs, the lower level is terrible.

You have to have some discernment about people's true intentions, don't ever mention your personal problems to anyone (ever), and scatter your shot wide to find some mutual connections.

realistically what you really crave is just validation. connection is when you're validated by another person's existence because they share your world view or identity. that's difficult for wizardly types because we are more unique and less conformist than others, so it's difficult to find and meet such people.

>>307582
this is a good impersonal way of getting validation that might work for wizardly types. do something valuable, provide a service to a community of people and receive good feedback for it. you have to find a community that isn't completely anonymous and where content isn't transient, so that your contributions can compound and you increase the chance of your work being recognized by others.

i spent a good part of my teenage years just answering people's questions on tech forums and it was actually quite a good source of validation. even though i never made any "friends" in a traditional sense, helping people out with their questions and problems was rewarding for its own sake.

there's tons of ways of getting positive feedback from other people. probably easier than ever now that you have the internet. you just have to put yourself out there, create something interesting, help other people, provide interesting opinions and "takes" that mirror what people are already thinking about etc.

"Let Us Beat Swords Into Ploughshares is a bronze sculpture by artist Evgeniy Vuchetich (1908 ¬– 1974). Vuchetich was an esteemed Soviet sculptor and artist well-known for his heroic monuments. In 1959, he was given the “People’s Artist of the USSR” award.
The sculpture depicts the figure of a man, holding a hammer aloft in one hand and a sword in the other hand, hammering the sword into a ploughshare, a tool to till land for crops. This action symbolizes man’s desire to put an end to war and transform tools of destruction into tools to benefit mankind.
The Book of Isaiah contains the following passage: "They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
The sculpture was gifted to the United Nations by the USSR on December 4th, 1959. It was presented on behalf of the Soviet Delegation by Vassily V. Kuznetsov, First Deputy Foreign Minister of the USSR, to Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold who accepted the sculpture on behalf of the United Nations."

I'm tired of socializing, drama, human interests, social demands, social everything.

I wish I was a machine instead of a talking ape. I actually hate being an animal.
I don't even hate people, I just don't want to be in any contact with them. I even hate my own body for forcing me to eat and wash in order to not completely dysfunction.

This is why you can't protect your solitude.

One can only achieve exile if one can make themselves ugly and stinky. This is why monks shave their heads and wear rags. As long as you care about your appearance and hygiene someone will always care.

If you want to be a hermit even within society, just stop showering and people will leave you alone.

I'm doing this now. It's for the best. I quite literally have about 100 family members that I used to be in somewhat contact with, but now i shut off as much as possible. 30+ cousins I just dont respond to, of course all the unc/aunties too. I can't handle the stress and judgement and intrusions they force into my life. I can't stand my grandma and older relatives repeating the same questions and stories over and over non stop. Im beetter off online working the least amount of hours possible. Ideally I'll have an apartment of my own soon. The worst part is when these people try to find me at work… very annoying

you'd think this is a valid approach, i did try this.

when i was molested hard by females i stopped brushing my teeth, believing it would make my breath smell so horrible that the succubi leave me alone. this did not really work, i was still swarmed.

dressing as plain as i could, wearing sunglasses everywhere and hiding my long hair did help somewhat but what unfortunately draws the female attention is joy of life, health, connection with source, optimism, lack of corruption. so the only way is to act to be sickly, weak and depressed. basically you can't be happy even though it is easily possible for a human because if you are, females will block your path rugby-style and violently force you to give them attention. they are the worst rapists, they have no concept of consent whatsoever for other people; only for themselves.

Yes I semi-voluntarily cut ties off from society.

In fact, I made it a point to create an almost complete blackout of year 2000 culture and later.

I surrounded myself with pre-1990s, culture only, only listening to obscure Italo-Disco or Japanese music from the 80s.

I stopped listening to radio, stopped watching TV, stopped going to movies.

My only contact with modern culture is what I inadvertantly see when I go outside, indie games and synthwave/juchewave. But synthwave/juchewave is idiosyncratic enough to keep me well-insulated from prevailing culture, so I consider it safe.

If I am at my mother's house, I will leave the room if she starts watching TV. If she mutes the TV, I'll try to look away from the screen.

I block advertising on youtube not merely for the annoyance of advertising but also because it is contemporary cultural rot.

With the exception of my mother, I stopped talking to my family about 20 years ago. I do not have any friends or contacts online.

I do not work. Haven't worked for decades. I have no social circle IRL.

I have the same backpack, clothes from 20 years ago. I wear a cheap casio watch. No cellphone/smartphone.

Stepped on the scale today and realized that despite the initial "push" from a medical crisis a year ago, I basically regained all weight I lost (minus 5-10kg).
I also realized I've been working for almost 3 years now, going to be 30 the same week I'll hit my 3 years of work too.
3 years… of wages wasted.

I don't even know what the fuck I spent most of it on. It just escapes me.
Still live with mom and all my necessities are taken care of she takes nothing from me.
I had a blessed opportunity these past 3 years to save up for the dogshit future that hit the world now and I wasted it on toys and basically indulging all I couldn't as a NEET with no money.
The worst is that since I'm an impulsive retard I mostly have nothing to show for it either.

Health is even more fucked then ever before since I never took action.
Rather every action that didn't prove fruitful or flat out failed resulted in my absolute surrender for another month or three or six…
Absolutely defeated at the starting line basically.

To get to the point of this thread. Those of you that live a decently structured, responsible and stable life, how?
I barely have a sense of time. Kinda like when I was a NEET, just instead of 12-16 hours of sleeping and then PC stuff I'm forced to work a rather easy, blessed job.
Once it passes I just feel like I'm teleported to the next shift until I get to sleep through a weekend and months pass.
Even chronic pains don't make me act much. What does one even do to live?

The worst part really is that so many years went down the drain and I really have nothing to show for it. Not even memories.
I want to at least look back on SOMETHING fondly when I'm dying someday.

I understand the "baby steps" approach, I tried. I managed to "force things" for a while, then somehow drop it and to my shock a year passed.
I to this day am unable to keep a consistent hygiene schedule, it only got better because I do force myself every time I have to go to work which… isn't as often as you might imagine with my blessed dead end helpdesk job I received through something like divine grace.

I tried over and over again and I have accumulated nothing but failures to the point where now my body seems averse to even trying. I just bring the hobby tools for example and stare at them. I can barely read or force myself to think often enough.
Cheap dopamine is the only thing I manage to pursue, but the past few years have been filled with more "starring at the wall in a hazy daydream" rather than any video games or anime. Both which take more effort than I seem able to maintain.
I can muster some up if need be, but as I said, maintaining the spark and kindling it into flame is beyond me.

Funny you mention blender as it was something I really wanted to be good at at some point. I have 2.8 still downloaded, mostly untouched as you might imagine. Ended up like many delusional dreams of mine.

>If this is the belief in your heart-of-hearts
This was not a desired outcome nor a desired state of mind. It's not something I decide or choose daily. Though I do consider myself a victim I guess considering my galton board obsession.

how do you define that? I've got some long-term commitments under my belt (a PhD) but other than that I think most people are impulsive retards when it comes down to it. usually when people achieve something long-term it's because circumstances forced them to. a common impetus is having children, many normalfags get whipped right into shape by the responsibility despite being utterly unreliably and flaky otherwise

Like many spergs, I was interested in politics since I was young. How ironic, autists study politics, but sociopaths do politics. Anyway.
Most of us are pacified by the elites and given copes to stop complaining. I do believe that nerd culture (bibeo games, Fanko Pops, Star Wars, all that shit) in the 10s was astroturfed by the CIA or some other agency like that to shift the zeitgeist from actually important questions to "Kennedy ruined muh Star Wars" or some other shit. There is no other reason for normies to be interested in fucking Marvel movies, which are such a clear psyop to brainwash the population.
You could see it in popular media too. The goal is to make us live through the rebellion on the screen instead of doing it ourselves. Take the Hunger Games, Star Wars, any piece of media made in the 10s, it's all about sticking it to the big man. It must be inspiring, right? No! We basically see it on the screen, our sense of righteousness is satisfied, and we can go back to gooning to trap porn or whatever.
Additionally, GamerGate (yes, we are going to talk about that) was a way to create controlled opposition on the right and on the left both. They took gamers and forced them to "care" about politics, but this "caring" extended only to shitting on boobs in video games/lack of boobs in video games. It is as if the political charge of the youth was diverted to arguing over the latest balwashed character in YouTube comment session.
There is just no reason for normies to care about video games, but video games are at their peak of popularity. Why? Before, they were the domain of nerds. Now, norms sweat in DOTA 2 or whatever for 3000 of hours. It's clearly a push to divert their attention in the virtual world. And by virtual world I don't mean communities where people can connect and plan together.
Ever wondered why "for you" page exists and why its so different for all people? To divide the population. Nowadays, the algorithm exists to create those small bubbles where people barely interact with anything that doesn't fit their worldview and creates safe spaces of familiar information which doesn't challenge but dulls the mind.(READ THE RULES)

I asked myself the same question. I was into comic books a bit and sometimes I'd ask who the hell cares about this story arc other than the 19,000 nerds (in total on the planet of 8 billion people) that picked this issue up at the comic shop?

The comic book industry died 40 years ago and currently its corpse is being artificially sustained in a heated pool of hemolymph and reptile cum. Comics don't profit from sales because there aren't enough sales to offset even the small cost of printing. Instead the publishers pay the writers a set salary to produce N amount of comics per year, and then companies of all kinds pay a lot to have their ads placed in those comics. I was blown away when I looked at actual modern comic books in person and saw how many ads there were. 3 pages of comic, 1 full-page ad for car insurance or deodorant or something. The companies that get their ads in can then write off their expenses as tax deductions because their ads are contributing to a medium that is legally considered independent-driven and granted special tax privileges because it (was) a means for small artists and studios to contribute to culture.
