/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Lmao, is this like the black pill of art or something ? OP the shit you posted in the thread isn't even that bad. You just look like a stiff noob. You're focusing too much on like pure technical skill. Drawing is FUN. I'm decent at drawing from life, and I'm trying to use more references, but idk I just love sitting around painting and experimenting with different textures and mediums and abstraction. I'm not trying to endlessly grind to the top of the technical ladder. and guess what, my art is better for that. obviously theres a flip side to this, I'm not sayin abandon all study, because that's very necessary.

Try new things. When you make a mistake, try to work within it. Try throwing down random shapes or ink blots and make it into something. Maybe draw a comic instead of just a figure study.

You should enjoy grinding to the top. Do you actually like to draw?
