I've improved since age 3, at the very least.

>>1896483
>tfw I can't tell if this is an insult or not.

>>1896596
Getting pretty good by the end of 2012.

>>1896343
I was so jelly until I scrolled down and realized she hadn't improved that much. Oh well, she was practically professional level at 14.

>>1896733
What you don't see is all her work getting up to that point.
>Asians don't like to show failure.

>>1896565
Pretty fucking interesting work man

How did you do the ones at age 15?

>>1896735
She's Chinese and has said that in China you have to have some skill from a young age threat you develop over time and it becomes your "thing" and her parents chose art for her.

>>1896859
That's pixel art I made in MS Paint (switched to a better program several years later). My drawings from that time are gone but the digital work survives.

>>1896347

Cool, that's mine! :)

Here an updated version with a few more works.

>>1896878
Are you
>>1894918

>>1896889
yep. lol

>>1896948
is this you? you have more um, work?

>>1897012
>taking this pic seriously

so much new on /ic/ lately

>>1897012
woah this gotta be the most motivational thing I have ever seen ;w;

>>1896343
i may do a proper one later

>thinking he is using it unironically
Guess who's even newer

Wow, I don't know any of these people. I haven't been here in a while.
What happened to the upon, dot, deathelm, parsakoira, tehmeh, gonzoman and the rest? They still around?

>thinking my post wasn't meant to be ironic

Guess who's even newer

there's a ton of things i've done for work that i want to post but can't because of NDA oh well.

>>1897030
Tehmeh went pro

>>1897033
Link to a gallery with Kuroko please!

>>1897030
Parsakoira still posts sometimes, nowdays uses the name kjkallio or kjk, the rest I don't know, prolly just went pro and left

>>1897030
I also wonder where kekeke went.

>>1897037
I promise /ic/ I will not leave if I ever get pro +_+

I'm having a hard time thinking of other people from oldschool /ic/, who went pro

>>1897045
>deathelm
He burnt bridges and couldn't find work apparently.

What about Guy! I'm sure him and his men pouches are doing well somewhere.

>>1897045
oh and lefty kun, he should be pro by now!

>>1897043
You will never go pro if you stay on this shithole.
Hell, you will, never be decent if you visit any of the shitpost boards like /a/ and /v/.

>>1896948
what the hell did you do for all these years

>>1897049
was deathelm ever good to begin with?
can you post some of his work? from what i remember, he sucked and he was a total faggot

>>1897055
Yeah but he was fun faggot

>>1897032
No your post wasn't mean to be ironic. If it was it would be 100% shitpost

>>1897060
Your post is 100% percent shitposting

>>1897012

this is what happens when you inject too much exogenous loomis.

>>1897033
shit, that purple/red forest one at the bottom left is beautiful. can you post it pls?

one-vox hasn't been around in ages as well

>>1897033
Lol the ref you used for the red forest pic is my desktop background. It's embarrassing how long it took me to figure out why it looked familiar.

>>1897242
marko is german?

>>1897242
>he was 13 when he did that

It's not super amazing renaissance master art prodigy tier, but it's neat to see how he was already really aware of anatomy.

When I was 13 I drew shitty DBZ fan art and stickmen.

>>1897283
he probabbly had the how to draw marvel / dc shit already at that age, maybe even had a close realitve or good jr high teacher giving him some direction.

maybe he just had a good eye for it though.

Maybe he even straight up traced it from somewhere, like most kids do. I mean look at that background, obvious quality disparity.

>>1897268
I think his family is from Ukraine but he was raised in Germany and currently lives in Berlin.

>>1897377
All the pics look very generic and they get more unimpressive every year, but I must admit that the first row is stunningly impressive considering the age, even if it was traced.

osm thread, here's mine.
I have a ton of stuff from school this semester that's still WIP but I'll prolly update this once the year is up.

I realized I never really did a good go through of fundamental studying. When I'm done with school (this May) i'm gonna just study my donk off and see how it goes. School is killing my soul at the moment

>>1897373
No he had only got Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy book at the age of 12 as a gift from someone. That's all the help he ever had. Later after/during the Massive Black shit he took a small course of /gd/

>>1897581
hey, I remember seeing that 2013 one with the hill and the dwarf here while you were working on it! Man, I was hella impressed then and your new work's even better. You got mad gains bruh

>>1897581
Damn dude, could we get a history of how you got from where you started to where you are now? Was it all just studying random elements and messing around? I have no set path of study right now, so I'm really hoping I can achieve something similar even with all the jumping around from subject to subject that I've been trying to do.

marko is overrated as fuck to be completely honest.

>>1897846

>>1897846

>>1897012
Okay, this looks great and all, but does his left leg look weird to anyone else? This is genuinely bothering me.

>>1896343

I like to consume, i just can't draw. But i'm good at other stuff

>>1898009
Come on son, you're 14, you shouldn't even be here.

Do yourself a favor and read the sticky.

>>1898009
Stop namefagging and come back in four years

>>1897867
Is the right one the bad looking to my eyes

>>1897867
Perspective

>>1897033
ur already better than Genzoman, now stop placing char in the mid, make interesting compositions. Like the red forest one!

>>1896343
>no progress at all

seriously faggot, they guy is way better then me when I was 13 and ı'm pretty sure can draw better than him now if these are his best works. anime's ruin all the art.

ohh boy... updated mine aswell. After looking at it I actually feel like I have accomplished something.

>>1898496
cringe-worthy until 2013, and 2014 actually becomes interesting. keep on truckin

Need help and tips

>>1898496

So out of curiosity what changed for you from 2013 to 2014? Did it something click all of a sudden?

Duper noob reporting

>>1897380
Nah, they're from Serbia. Got nothing to do with Ukraine.

>>1898579
looks like he started using reference.

>>1898579

I think my eyes just got better at seeing values and color. I did alot of watercolor paintings in 2013-2014 (like 50 or so a2 format) and I also sketch ALOT (I fill a skechbook within a month or two and I already have boxes full of them) its really good if you have a stress free medium since I usually never post my traditional stuff I have like a haven where whatever I do is right.

Also master studies are like practise on steroids! Its insane how much you learn when you really try to paint like them and I dont mean just mindlessly copy the image. but to really zoom in and look at the brushwork.

So yeah I think its just me working smarter.

ps. im not even sorry for my bad english.

>>1898608

Thank you, I am inspired by your progress.

>>1898628
>>1898608


Bookmarked your Tumblr btw

not sure if really good to post like this because I started taking art seriously in april this year but oh well

>>1898496
makes me feel bad about my little improvement..

>>1896865
my parents chose lonlines and isolation for me so I am now a master shitposter on 4chan.

>>1897581
Very cool stuff! Things just aligned in your head between 2012-2013? The difference is like day and night

just a yearly one. only worth posting because I recreated the same painting twice. slightly different approaches to both of them.

Improvement is a weird word because they are different paintings but there is definately a better technique to how i handled the textures on the table and floor, and general approach to painting the leaves and chandelier.

Theres still an ambitiousness to the first one that i like

>>1898496
>bluejayland in space
lol

>>1897845
That's almost exactly what I did. Lots of experimenting and I'd pretty much just get a picture in my head and try and execute it as best I could. I'd get references and basically study as I was doing the pieces. I'm finally realizing the importance of fundamentals and after I'm done with school I plan on going on a studying binge and just trying to be able to get the figure down and be able to do crazy stuff from imagination.

>>1898825
Here's something sort of in between. The summer of 2013 was one of the biggest skill jumps I've ever had, I drew a shit ton though. I have yet to be as productive as then. I think what helped a lot was doodling a ton in my gen-ed classes.

http://frrruuussstraation.deviantart.com/art/Biggest-Dump-Eva-Part-3-303451510

hope that helps. I still stress about getting good, but I've realized that as long as you're drawing at least every day and consuming art, you're gonna get better no matter what. That's been a sort of catharsis for me. I've almost burnt myself out stressing about getting to a certain standard by a certain time and feeling like I need to be drawing 8 hours a day, but it's just not worth it.

A couple years ago is when I noticed it the most, but there would be periods where I got better in between drawings just from looking at good art, and being super observant.

Yeah.

>>1898817

You really need to stop drawing so much MLP man, it looks so flat and bad compared to your other work =/

>>1896343
what the fuck, how did you do that shit when you were 13 (y)

>>1898984
I'm burnt out by the continuous stress to improve and I haven't made progress in a year by working on it daily, either by analyzing or by drawing/painting myself. It just completely crushed me in the end when I noticed the lack of progress. Trying to regain the enthusiasm to just do art for the fun of it and more relaxed and hope it just clicks for me some day.

Thanks for the reply.

>>1898984

how old are you anon? if you are young(ish) i think it's worth stressing and grinding and riding dangerously close to burnout.

Zero progress.
Watts method is shit. Less lines my ass

>>1899073
dosent really matter how yo do your gestures as long as you get the movement you want. You seem to have a decent grip on it already.

>>1899073
You're progressing fine. You're just expecting results too soon. Improvement accelerates over time. In the beginning it's bit slow b/c you're grasping the basic concepts now.

>>1897867
You're not the only one, the part where the left knee goes over into the calf looks oddly thin to me.

>>1899073

You are drawing with more confidence whereas before it seems like you were unsure of your lines.

>>1899084
True, but you also want your shit to be readable so you can finish the figure.
Plus if you were doing that traditionally you'd have a crap ton of lines with gesture, then you'd go over it to add the details (maybe with a different color pencil) and that's more lines. If you decide to do a final clean image based on that image you'd slowly see that there's a little information missing from it due to all the lines...
It's all a matter of planning really

But he's doing it digital so he's fine.
>>1899073
Do you have a certain goal involving gestures? Doing something just to "git gud" could leave you lost going around in circles. You make nice stylized legs.

>>1899073
>expecting significant results in a matter of months

I took me like a year to truly grasp gesture to the point where I was confidently employing it without constantly struggling.

Stop being a fagit.

I'm gonna redraw this again this month.
The first image hurts me everytime lol

>>1899433
It's definitely possible, especially as a beginner, if you fucking grind a subject every day (2-3hr)

>>1898575
no, you dont need anything this is just perfect as it is!

>>1899516
wow, that's some really nice improvement anon, can't wait to see what the new one is going to look like.

>>1899009
this is about how I feel right now.
I want to take my art professionally, but I can't seem to decide on a solid yes or no as to whether I'm really willing to learn. Drawing was the most fun for me when I was just banging out doodles all day listening to teachers talk in school. I've gotten to a level that people around me consider good, but I haven't convinced myself.

>>1899531
>(2-3)hr
FZD students are some of the few people that make significant progress in a matter of months and they have to do minimum 14 hours a day and that's with the guidance and instruction of industry professionals.

>>1898826
Man that's awesome. Got a tumblr or DA?

>>1899588
Breakfast, lunch, bathroom breaks, snacks, dinner, travel time, lost time, study time, theory and learning time, then you have doing time. It all depends what you do with your time. You can spend 2-3 hours very efficiently if you're smart enough. You can likewise spend 14 hours a day and forget all of it because of all the grey noise and over stimulation of the brain. You gotta train efficiently and let that stuff stew in your mind for a while. Let it soak in. Then you will find your path quickly.

>>1899555
It's nothing special. Just move your fuckin ass and draw atleast 2 hours per day.

Go ahead. Make me cry.

>>1902243

were you actively trying to improve at any point in this timeline?

>>1900085
http://serkerart.tumblr.com/

>>1902245
Nah. Now that I see it better I regret that. Sometimes I really would like to get rid of anime style.

>tfw thinking about where I'd be now if I found Loomis before starting uni

Offtopic but does anyone have the grid to put artist that inspire us?

>>1896565
you're the nazi that hates gradients and posts about rules in ever pixel thread?

>>1902939
Nope, I'm fine with gradients and "hybrid" pixel art. I also don't mention rules because art has no rules, though I will occasionally discuss technique.

>>1902243
>11 years later still drawing anime
the fuck dude...

>>1902942
Cheers mate. I really appreciate that opinion , especially in such a nostalgic form as pixel art.

>>1896963
>says lefty on the bottom
>"is this you?"

Lefty is a tripfag who used to frequent these boards... idk why he left(y) but he had to have more work than that. He was /ic/'s pet project, like miku-fag

>>1896343
Am i gonna make it?

>>1902315
third one from 2011 looks pretty cool. maybe do more stuff like that.

M-maybe one day i wont suck

>>1905454
It's really interesting to watch your progress in this one, I can almost read the different discoveries you made every year, which is awesome.

2012, you learned a lot about color and started learning about describing volume. 2013 your anatomy takes a jump and you become more confident in the human form. 2014 you become much more refined and your work starts taking on more polish.

I'm excited for your 2015.

>>1905467
Thank you, that means a lot! I still suck and i should start making stuff outside my qt girls confort zone. Still its nice to read that someone notices the improvement!

>>1905217
Yes. The only way to not make it is stop drawing.

>>1905463
>Same stiff pose
>Same composition
>Same pinup style

But hey at least he learned how to trace 3d models and photobash textures

>U-updated my progress sheet a little

water colour progress

>>1905532
You’re improving, but I think you could be improving faster. The newest stuff still has really awkward anatomy, and your brushstrokes are choppy. The zeppelin and the spider web chick are probably my favorites.
A few crits for the most recent: the archer girl has a very “fly-swatted” pose, it’s extremely awkward. You seem to be having problems thinking about the figures in 3-dimensional space. On the piece below, the angel’s far leg disappears, the hand is tiny, torso oddly shaped (especially where it meets lower body), wings are inaccurate, and the creature lacks any real anatomy, though maybe that’s intentional. Keep working on backgrounds.

>>1905532
also stop that stutter shit it makes you seem autistic

>>1905518
I wish people who gave out this kind of criticism would post examples of something they think is correct.

>>1899555
Red noses and bitching cartoons.

>>1899568
this. I'm sad that I can't participate in this thread because I've been learning to draw since I was like 16, but I've always been the kind of person to throw old things away, so of course I threw out my old work. Wiped hard drives. Don't even remember some of the stuff I did. I just remember starting them and then getting angry and quitting.

now I keep my old stuff, though, but from when I was 24. I'm 27 now. sad.

updated mine, i feel like i can do better so im gonna have to do a new sp soon

>>1905595
Fuck, I'm jelly

>>1905595
damn dat improvement

>>1902939
no, he's the guy from the pixel art tutorial that everyone posts! I recognize some of the work!!

>>1905584
I do see the tumblr style in there but I don't see red noses. I see pale characters with peachy elements to their skin tone. Usually red nose is when the character looks drunk or they have a cold even though they're clearly fine and the artist didn't intend to make them look that way but did it to be "cute"

>>1896343
those portraits have improved a lot, really diggin' those two from summer '14

>>1905599
>>1905604
thx guys !
>>1905617
if you are talking to me thx :3

>>1905518
>jelly amateur shitter

Keep deluding yourself thinking there is even one aspect of art that you are better at than that guy, but really, there isn't.

>>1905595
Ay Gabu-chan, I updated mine too.

>>1905463
actually have another one from this guy, a little more extensive

>>1905550
Right now not rendering / finishing stuff, so I get more time to do more works and practise other aspects, hence the choppy brushstrokes. Focusing on trying to make subjects more interesting / less static and also started making (shitty) enviroments. Thx for crit, maybe Ill do some anatomy sketching / studys aswell.

>>1896349
does anyone know where I can find more of this guys stuff/a website?

fucking generic ass name...

C-c-combo breaker.

Time to post some OTHER craft, after all it's not only drawfags that improve.

My stuff over the last months. # are first-to-last made.

thanks anon

>>1905595
You seriously look like someone that is in one of my classes

>>1898529
agreed

here's mine

the left is before I discovered the /ic/ sticky and right is my current skill level now; 1.5 months of studying and practicing
am I going at the right direction
it doesn't feel like it for me, it's eerily similar to my old shit
I'm really worried now

>>1908856
>am i going at the right direction

No. Actually read the sticky instead of glancing over it.

>>1907968
post his pic

>>1908856
At the very least it looks a lot more appealing.

>>1908963
I'm tryin but I can't get through the boring parts
I dunno maybe I'll do it tomorrow

>>1908856
your lines are much cleaner, so that's something

but seriously, most people don't improve a whole lot in 1.5 months
keep practicing, draw a lot (mileage!) and have a bit more patience
maybe try some different exercises if you feel like the ones your currently doing don't help much

>>1899516
>I'm gonna redraw this again this month.

Noo, the second version looks like tumblr shit...oh wait, I just noticed it in the corner.

You're giving up character for gobble gobble one of us.

>>1908856
Your jaws/chins don't skew forwards anymore.
Your faces don't look like flat stickers on a flat neck as much anymore.

Your lines are more confident and clean.
Appeal has improved.

You're going into the right direction.

Mine, lacking this year's stuff. Sorry for poor resolution

>>1909283
Holy shit you're awesome. I dropped out of two colleges already as well because of the same reasons as you. I'm no even close to being as good as you, but I still get some gigs here and there. You need to apply to more jobs, dude, you could definitely get a great job.

>>1905454
All these sad women... Improvement also comes from stepping outside your comfort zone.
>sad women are also my favourite subject, I know the problem

>>1909150
Oh I forgot to cut out the url, my bad.
I have never on this board been accused of tumblr style before though, what a funny coincidence.

i didnt draw until a year ago but i feel i went through very different stages so i still did this. i live in france thats why i use the word "prep school", it's actually classe préparatoire and its basically one-year long art studies that are supposed to prepare you for real art school

oh man it made me feel depressed

>>1905595
i like it

>>1898496
the improvement from 2013 to 2014 is clearly visible, keep up the good work
i love your scenery

>>1909283

Fuck this shit, I'm gonna get back to drawing more digitally. Thanks thread for the motivation.

>>1909409
design isn't exactly a concept that is unique to digital art. If you can't design for shit then your traditional drawings must be pretty much shit as well, unless all you do is copy photos or something.

>>1897581

Hah, that 2012-2013. I'd like to imagine everything came together over a cup of coffee or something.

>>1898496

Keep experimenting with your work, it's starting to look great.

>>1902243

More to the question of if you're happy with yourself, though, isn't it?

>>1905543

Watercolor is terrifying, keep going.

>>1905656

no oviraptors/10.

>>1909283

Still lovely to look at, though.

>>1909490
Your humans could use a bit of work, but your environments are really nice. Lovely stuff.

>>1909490

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKkkkk

i remember seeing alot of those images on here, and/or da. you got good really fast man, congrats on that. also we started out around the same time. very inspiring progress.

also you know me. i don't know if you'd consider me an art bro but you know me.

tipping my hat to you sir.

>>1909490
Can I have access to your brushes? I know the brushes don't make the painting, but sometimes I feel like I don't have the right tools.

>>1905708
Give me a name plz.

>>1898993
I don't think the problem was as much about the subject as it was about the execution, I've seen people do interesting works of furry and MLP art before.
Nonetheless, it's important to keep doing studies from real life .

>>1898817
You're showing a lot of potential

I wish I could post in this thread, but I spent something like six years too depressed to draw. I'm pretty much still in beginner tier. This thread just reminds me of all those wasted years.

>>1909548
Same here. Also because my small tablet gives me arthritis

>>1905608
post the tutorial plz

>>1909490

i don't know how you make so many jumps, like your work doesn't improve serially it just stays the same then everything jumps at the same time and it happens about five times in your work.

do you study differently than everyone else or something? like what are you doing?

>>1909737
that's the normal way it happens

>>1909749

i know that, but it's different here. i've been trying to improve my own work so i love looking at these threads, and i look through them a lot so i can get better keys to improving myself. it's just different how it jumps in his/her work than most other people. does that make sense?

maybe it's just different influences though.

14 years old to 18 years old.

>>1897033
What method of colouring do you do?
Im new to drawing and and love your stuff

>>1905950
Whoa! That looks amazing!

Anyone else think these threads are brutally depressing?

>>1909842

as a beginner of only a month I find them inspiring

>>1909852

As someone who has drawn all their life and only started doing serious study in their mid 20s I find it to be a very painful reminder of how much time I wasted.

>>1905595
In the july 2014 you like Ratman from the Portal 2 comic. I love it.

>>1909865

same

also this is all i have just off hand

>>1909865
not even mid 20s but so fucking this.

When I look at my art from 2012 though... oh boy. So fucking ashamed but you gotta start somewhere.

>I left out the worst of the worst

>>1909842

The type of people who would genuinely make big improvements don't stick around /ic/, or at the very least they'd come here, pick up some new places for references and study techniques, and get the fuck out before coming back weeks/months later

>>1909842

Fuck no, it just means it's definitely possible and there are people who post here who you can actually TALK to about it. How is that not the coolest shit EVER? I also agree with >>1910223, >>1909490 this faggot only posts every few months, even.

jk doe sprias lol luv u :)

Guys, i just, i don't know how to explain how this whole thread made me feel, just looking at how those people improved so much over the years, i just couldn't handle it, and broke down to fucking tears like a little faggot, i have been lying to myself all this fucking time, i haven't draw like i used to, my goal is to be someone, is to be a fucking legend, maybe it sounds foolish, but at least that's my dream, and i've been avoiding it for so many stupid shit, im saying somethings that don't belong in this thread but fuck it, this is it, nobody cares about me and nobody knows me, yet. I'm Fucking Done, im going to fucking keep up with my dream, thank you op, you were not a faggot with this thread, this shit made me change, thank you, and you guys fucking bet that you'll know my name someday, esli, you faggots

>>1899516
You need to get a style that isn't just tumblr-style

>>1910451

There isn't that much that screams "Tumblr style" to me, other than the brush style he used. When I think tumblr style, I think of some mashup of Scott Pilgrim/Adventure Time with "thick" girls, edgy haircuts, and red noses.

>>1910461

thats one of the tumblr styles

but that person's style is the style of all those people who draw superwholock shit, swear to god every one of em

>>1910461
As the other guy said, it's *one* of them. kinda like the, 'trying to not be anime but also stylized' shit with the manfaces.

>>1910462
>>1910463

Ah, I didn't realize there was more than one, especially considering I try my damn hardest to stay away from the crazy fanbases (homestuck comes to mind) and sjw nonsense (i'm a self admitted bleeding heart and even i find their shit to be fucking mind numbing and downright retarded, i can only imagine how painful it is for a centrist or someone conservative leaning)

>>1910462

literally all they do is gay shipping. literally. all. they. do.

>>1910438
I care about you and I believe in you. I used to be the same way, then I saw how much other people were improving and got my shit together. Glad to see that this is happening to someone else. Go forth and do great things anon.

>>1896878
Shit, your great.

>>1896347
dude, that turtle near the end looks totally bitchn

>>1910463
>trying to not be anime but also stylized' shit with the manfaces
so like, western animation? like most of what the /co/ fags draw? that's what you're describing when you try to describe tumblr styles. because that's what they're mimicking.
do you watch cartoons and go "ew tumblr style" you fucking retarded autistic faggot

>>1909865
I just went through my old DA accounts.
fuck I wasted a bunch of time not learning anatomy.

>>1905595
Good job anon, really good progress for a year

>>1909904
they still horrible

Sorry for huge image
In my slight defense, I only started to actually care around the middle of 2013, and took an actual figure drawing class in 2014. Put in pone only because I've recently started digital and it was the only half-descent thing.
By all means, please tear me a new one.

>>1908800
>valhalla rising
yes

>>1911179
God, you went miles from where you started. You still have a long way to go, but at least it's no longer cringe worthy

>>1911179
All that time and you never learned to hold your pencil correctly. You could've been making strides if you learned to use your supplies the right way.

Minus 100 pts. for ponies.

>>1902270
All of these look great, but the top right style is super cute.

>>1911010
Thanks, I guess. It's a character for a series of illustrations that I'm planning but never start.

>>1910438
I was like that too. A true advice? If you're used to play games everyday or every other day for hours... Just stop, put this thing in some cabinet and forget it. Games are drugs for procrastinators. Also stop spending so much time with TV series if you're the type that spend an entire weekend watching it.

Put a skechbook and a pen in the place you spend most of your time. That may be useful to start you drawing in the day.

>>1896378
Finish your work anon.
It's a fucking skill.
That being said, you've improved considerably.
But finish your fucking work.

>>1897054
I imagine he was recovering from CP.

>>1910468
>>1911280
Thank you anons, ill keep the games away, you are right in that, that shit makes me lazy.
I'm glad than i'm not the only one that went through the same shit.

>>1896343

i didn't improve.

>>1911394
what the fuck happened to that guy?

>>1911402
Alzheimer's

>>1911402
The same thing that will happen to all of us

the concept of the drawign was too retarded in the first place

>>1911394
You can see the progression of his balding

>>1911450
I like how you've done the shadowing. The shapes still need work though

>>1899516
odd, the first picture had potential to improve into nice unique simple lineart, but the second picture just looks so generic.

2 years ago

1? year ago

Last week

>>1911450
2010 was an unattractive style, but objectively better.

>>1911482

That thumbnail looks really nice. Take it to the next level and refine those scribble marks that mess with the values.

>>1911496
Sorry, can you be more specific?

>>1911503

It's refining your pencil marks to the point where lines won't skew the value or appear blotchy. Basically, smoothing out what you already have. Your values are really great and subtle. I just think the image would be even better with a smoother look.

>>1911537
Ahh, I agree

>>1909434
Nah, I meant I can't use the digital pad as well, everything comes out wonky and I can't colour for shit anymore.

Sorry if I messed up what I meant, but I should of reworded it better to get a clearer understanding.

>>1911467
Yeah I must admit that I was too lazy to ever finish the second one, I never made it past the sketch stage.
The first one looks downright horrible though and I honestly don't understand what kind of potential you're seeing there

This thread fills me with the burning fire of motivation.
I haven't been improving as fast as I should have, time to learn Loomis.

>>1909319
Lets cry together
Im so aware of that im 100% guilty

>>1912274
bottom left 2014 and your water rendering is great. other stuff is ehh but you're getting there. didnt realize that all that stuff was by the same person.

>>1909659

seconding this

>>1910465
I always thought this is what /ic/ means when talking about tumblr-style.

>>1912635
god i hate those noses they draw, they're so goddamn unappealing
that's just me though

I don't have a timeline but here's something from 2007.

>>1912701

>>1912337
>>1912345

thx

>didnt realize that all that stuff was by the same person.

god there's so much more. i'm hesitant to post sometimes because i don't want to annoy the fuck out of people.

>>1912677
But it's not just you.

>>1896343
Can't compile a longer timeline at the moment so heres this

Here goes nothing.

>>1912905
im curious as to where you found the inspiration for the dueling crosses

>>1913072
>I'll draw anything for money era

This resonates within me

>>1913072
Oh hey, I loved your stuff in /ksg/

>>1896343
Just my figure illustration class I had once a week.
I think my gestures improved the most, but my figures got pretty good too.

>>1914187
I'm going to speak for him and say that it war probably Aesthethica by Liturgy
