/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

well you didn't learn anything so obviously there's no progress.

talent is an amalgamation of several factors. mindset, work ethic, even stuff like curiosity and the ability to critique yourself, among many many other things.
when i look at your image, i see that you haven't read many books, don't know many concepts, didn't study other artists art and technique. or if you did, you didn't internalize them in any way, shape or form.
and to be completely honest, i also see a lack of practice, despite you saying that you spend 4 years to get this far. it just looks like a failry basic and early attempt. it doesn't look like something you've tried and tested over and over again.

i'd honestly be shocked if it was.
because really, i don't think any of the hard concepts are "ungraspable" for the average human. they're hard to understand in the beginning, but you just have to butt heads with them over and over again.

i don't know what you were doing with your time, but you probably should've educated yourself more.
imagine going through school without textbooks or teachers, that's what you're doing.
