/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Twitter is dying.
Tumblr is dead.
DeviantArt just committed seppuku.
Mastodon will never take off.
Newgrounds is full of retarded zoomers.

This is it. /ic/ is the only remaining art community on the internet that truly carries the torch from the old CA days.

How do we capitalize off of this?
How do we convince the internet that this is the best place to be for any artist looking to improve themselves?

>why can't I get followers bros?? It's so unfair for me to work this hard and not get noticed at all!!!

I don't know what made you spoiled twats think that drawing loomis heads for 6 months and opening up a twitter account would get you thousands of followers and a patreon making 1500$ a month.

Do you realize how privileged you are to even get 5 followers, or even a single commission for your dogshit scribbles?

Apprentice artists in the renaissance had to work for SIX YEARS to a DECADE for their masters before they can even start publishing works under their own name, let alone open up a workshop by themselves. Six years of hard work, grinding every single day, doing your master's dirty work and getting no recognition for it.
Have you worked for six years anon? Have you put in even a hundredth of the effort that the artists of the past have?
No one sympathizes with you, everyone knows you're a shitter who asks for what they didn't earn. So SHUT THE FUCK UP for the NEXT SIX YEARS and get to work.

Some ground rules to start this thread and the next /beg/ threads off:

>if you are /beg/
Don't ever give advice.
You can relate and share your hardships with other /beg/s, but never give them advice.
If you MUST give advice, start the reply off with "I'm beg, but what worked for me is..."

>Before you post your work
1. Every person giving advice here expects for you to have at least read some of the sticky, and that you already know what you should be doing to improve.
In that light, replies such as "grind more fundamentals" are perfectly viable advice.
We expect you to know what the general fundamentals are (gesture, anatomy, perspective, drapery, etc.), and we expect you to know where you can find resources to practice these subjects.
Sometimes literally the only good advice to give is to practice more and improve your technique.

2. DO NOT post your 5 minute sketches that you didn't put much thought into. If you do post them then make sure to ask for SPECIFIC advice on a specific subject.
If you post a doodle and ask "where did i go wrong" or "how should I continue from here", expect to get meme replies such as "Loomis".

Follow these simple rules and the generals will become much more productive for both the /beg/s and the people giving advice
