/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Grinded proportions, learnt anatomy, figure drawing daily with basic forms grind.

Lazy saturday, look through art from a bunch of artists, from cartoon pinups to manga lewds.
See many obvious mistakes, anatomy-proportions-shading, these are the professionals wtf?

Look over my favorite artists art again to see how the best do it, see all the same mistakes... WTF!!?

I've been doing nothing but grinding and figure drawing so i have no finished pieces atm, but why are there soo many flaws in cartoon-anime-manga art.
Yes the art is enough to get the story across but to make soo many basic errors along the way and from people with allot of content out there it's crazy.

No one who grinded the fundamentals like I and many others on /ic/ would make such simple mistakes.

I'm having a mental breakdown, is the cake a lie!?
Did /ic/ lie to me causing me to grind for the last year and a half?
All these figure drawings and forms and no finished art to speak of, i thought i was on my way to being gud but if i could just wing it and make money i fucking would!

WTF is going on, is this whole board a fucking lie!!??
