I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but are there any resources for illustrators (newbie or advanced) that have helped you and you'd recommend to others? Like, books, courses, etc.

wish i had a good answer for you but no. my knowledge is pretty much entirely composed of just beating my head against shit until i memorize it or experimenting until i come up with a solution to a problem i didnt even know i had.

the best advice i can give you is look at the art/artists you look up to and try to reproduce that without watching streams or tutorials or anything. try and puzzle it out. whether you are able to fully reproduce what they did is unlikely but you're 100% going to walk away from the experience having learned something and that's the key

@NireBryce

not the anon, but maybe a helpful prompt: what's your tool stack?

I'm not interested in illustrating (at the moment at least), but often the hardest thing is all of time-saving and effort-saving stuff that's out there.

especially for digital things, but also just in general



WHY YOU WANT CHSH(1) FOR SHELL? IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AS PROCURED FROM UNIX OF BELL LABS? YOU THINK NEEDS IMPROVEMENT? THEN MAYBE YOU FIND JOB WITH COMPUTING MACHINERY ASSOCIATION! HAVE MANY DRINK WITH STEPHEN RICHARD STEVE BOURNE, TRADE STORY OF MANY PROGRAMS DESIGNED AND DETAILS OF SCHOOL FOR COMPUTING!

OR MAYBE YOU NOT DO THIS. PROBABLY IS BECAUSE YOU NEVER DESIGN SHELL IN WHOLE LIFE. YOU LOOK AT FINE NEW JERSEY SHELL. THINK IT NEED CRAZY SHIT STICK ON ALL SIDES OF PROMPT. YOU HAVE DISEASE OF AMERICAN CAPITALIST, CHANGE THING THAT IS FINE FOR NO REASON EXCEPT TO LOOK DIFFERENT FROM COMRADE. YOU PUT TAB COMPLETE WITH FUZZIEST OF FINDING MENU ON ONE SIDE. YOU PUT STATUS OF HUB OF GIT ON OTHER SIDE, YOU PUT AUTOCOMPLETE ON FRONT SO YOU ARE LIKE AMERICAN MOVIE GUY NEO. MAYBE YOU PUT PROMPT ON TOP LINE AS MEMORY FOR MAKING SHAMEFUL TRAVESTY OF SHELL OF BOURNE?

SHELL IS FINE. YOU FUCK IT, IT ONLY GET SLOW AND YOU STILL NO TAB LARGEST SIDE OF GLOB. GO TO CHROOT, PRACTICE WITH MANY LINES OF COMMAND. THEN YOU NOT NEED DUMB SHIT PUT ON ALL SIDE OF PROMPT.
