If that really is your opinion then you haven't looked at enough drawings. A pencil can do everything it does but better.

What is the best type of pencils for drawing?
Also why some people are saying what mechanical pencils are bad for drawing?

zyzz coined the term in the context of getting visible abs and having chicks sneak pics at your sweet body.
Here, the term is pretty subjective, and similar to "git gud".
For me, it's either pic related, or >>2501306

I really don't understand why so many people seem to be so impressed by artists in their teenage years who are "good for their age" when there are so many artists in their early 20s who are good, period. Not for their age, but compared to even seasoned professionals. Like, look at the stuff a young Whit Brachna or Jaime Jones were doing. Or to a lesser extent guys like Janaschi, Miles, Rapoza, Algenpfleger etc. Some of them didn't even draw when they were 15 and improved more in like 2 years than those "child prodigies" have in their entire life.

That shit is impressive to me. When you are a young artist and you are competitively good compared to even the best in the industry. Not when you are good only when compared to shit tier hobbyists who don't even care about drawing, like most 15 year old kids.

Not the guy you replied to, but you sound like an incredible noob. Obviously amateur shit like the drawing you posted is easy, but that's hardly an example of good pencil rendering. Are you really that bad at art that this genuinely looks like skillful pencil rendering to you?

Pic related, this is what good pencil rendering looks like and I guarantee you neither you nor your favorite deviantart highschool kids with their celebrity drawings can do anything close to that.
