>The point is to work at improving your line work and eventually get to a point where you don't have to think about making confident marks
yeah but the line work I've been working on has been about trying to turn chicken scratching and chaotic hatching into it's own aesthetic. Not an issue of "confidence" necessarily. Just impulsiveness and not erasing.
>It's about excelling in the basics
hatching and scratching is kind of a basic tho.
>Except a lot of what you posted reads really flat and that does scream a lack of confidence
yeah but that's a thing to think about regardless of technique. If you're shading gradients and blending and using single lines that's still something you deal with. Like on >>3763011 a lot of the face looks flat because I got bored and never bothered scratching up some shade on the left side of her face. Spent all muh better effort on the tiddies. feel like >>3767092 looks flat because I phoned in the shirt and chest, but the seperation between the chin and neck was ok. >>3778095 would need like 30 more minutes of detailing and shadowing and stuff and and it'd look much more 3d and constructed. It's always just a matter of work.

>Go ahead and disregard everything
I literally never do that.
>trying to act quirky and cool
we're talking about goofy sketches for fun. Why so serious?
>and building muscle memory to make better marks and knowing where to place them is only gonna making things unnecessarily tougher for you when it really doesn't need to be and hampers your work in the eyes of your audience.
I mean the whole reason I'd say people should embrace trying scratch hatching is that you're training your muscle memory what it feels like when you every kind of line. Good and bad. Practically learn why not to do things by getting burned by doing them. Like if you tell a kid not to eat hotsauce and they don't, they'll just take it for granted. If they eat it tho, they learn a lesson.

yeah but hear me out: maybe dont?

Not that I don't really think about muh lines. I just think about doing lots of them with blunted mechanical pencils and schtufts.

And the point of posting the selfie protrate was to to >impluy that it's kinda supposed to look like it was made by a psycho.

Cry more up you zero-sum cracker. I listen to literally every dang (You) I get.

>yes you are dude.
I mean you can keep saying it it doesn't make it more accurate. You don't really get schizophrenia without it being unavoidably obvious at some point in your late teens/early 20s.
>i know what it is.
I don't think that you do. Can you explain your understanding of what schizophrenia is?
>you're a clear cut example.
I mean we can look at the diagnostic criteria in the DSM or whatever if you want. By what measurable standard are you making this "clear cut" diagnosis?
>and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I never said there was. My point is that with something like schizophrenia, it's not really like a spectrum disorder or a behavioral disorder where there's a lot of ambiguity about what it means to have something versus sometimes demonstrating criteria that would suggest you have it. You can look at a schizophrenic person's brain you can generally identify specific abnormal structures that effect neural connectivity in ways that effect how their mind interprets and encodes and recalls sensory information and stuff. Like there is a spectrum of severity among people with schizophrenia, but you kind of either have it or you don't.

And I guess my bigger point is that schizophrenia isn't the only psychological diagnosis for people that act "crazy." And there's a difference between "psychosis" and schizophrenia. You can have bipolar or OCD or most of the personality disorders or PTSD or any other thing that could lead to psychosis or abnormal behavior.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being schizophrenic. People can't help it. It's a condition they're essentially always born with. But there IS something wrong with baselessly misdiagnosing strangers publicly with a mental illness label because they act annoying to you or whatever. What you're doing is actually pretty "wrong" from a moralfag pov tbphwyf.

and that was apparently the first sketch I made in a decade, back in summer o 17.

the idea that I septn 40 minuets on that is pretty goofy. no idea who it's supposed to be either.

> or do you selectively decide when to let people know who you are?
I mean I do the same format of draw this draw this >draw this when I start a draw this thread for one thing. For another how am I going to include a meme painting in an op of an image?

I like that style. How you do the hair frizz is neat. Has a confidence to the outlining and junk that most people don't have.

i like lines

>talent
its called aptitude

did a ~90 minute freehand sketch for practice. feels ok. smoked to much pot tho and got obsessed with hatching.

>>3579887
