/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

>>2108928
I know OP said that pic was unrelated but that arm looks so painful. How do you not fix that after 2 years?

>>2108928
He just has more talent. The method is irrelevant.

>>2108928

does the samefagging self promo start again?

>>2108988

Self promotion from professional artists doesn't exist on /ic/. There is literally nothing this board has to offer in terms of self promotion. Go back to /v/ with your retarded viral paranoia.

>>2108928

If you're talking about the progression chart I'm sure somebody else will post it.

>>2108992

that's not true.

>>2108993

theeere we go!

>>2108993
That's the one, thanks.

>>2109002
>that's not true.

List one positive thing a professional can gain by self promoting himself on /ic/.

Can someone tell me the IRC?

Whats the IRC?

Nobody can git gud in a short amount of time without studying any information
Information has been studied and perfected over thousands of years to make it easier for the next generation to cope.
Without studying anatomy from books making it easy for you or figuring out how colours work without just reading about it it would take you hundreds of years to achieve what someone could do in 5 years. And even then without anyway to check if what you've learned is correct you could end up learning incorrect information and causing yourself to spend another couple hundred years to relearn it

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel

>>2109007

attention, facebook likes, followers, his name gets around, stays 'important' etc etc. obviously nobody will browse /ic/, see his samefag-selfpromo and hire him, but to play the freelancer game you have to stay relevant. stay popular. claim to be making mad freelance bucks etc etc.

you can tell it's samefagging by the fact that catbib (arguable the best poster of this board) rarely ever gets mentioned, nor do his posts get saved and posted over and over and over and over. why not? because people don't do that. and thus if catbib doesn't do it himself, it doesn't happen. that's how you know tehmeh is samefagging.

>>2108993
I think it really comes back to balance. And the correct balance is going to be a little different for everyone.

>>2109005
Well, time to delete the thread.

/thread

>>2109018
Perfected symbol drawing is actually a perfectly viable way to git gud fast despite what /ic/ tries to tell you.

>>2109021
Or it's because Catbib never actually drops any wisdom on us. He posts his WIPS in the draw thread and that's that. If Catbib made a post explaining some of his process and stuff like that I for one would definitely save it.

Also, how the fuck do you get facebook likes and followers by posting on /ic/? There are maybe a hundred unique posters here every day and almost everyone of us already knows who Tehmeh is. He's advertizing himself to a handful of people at a place where everyone knows him already? That's just stupid.

>>2109032
You don't seem to know what symbol drawing is. Please stop using words whose meaning you don't understand.

>>2109041

Chillout ollie it's alright. We understand.

>>2109047
Yeah, that's always the response retards like you have when they run out of an argument.

>>2109043

There needs to be a "what it actually means, what idiots think it means" image as a fast and easy way to clear up all the bullshit that gets spouted here.

>>2109032
you cannot be 'gud' if you are symbol drawing
symbol drawing is incorrect and polishing it up to look better does not make it anymore correct

>>2109070
And it would be wrong on both counts.

>>2108993
is there a before and after of tehmeh?

>>2109491

>>2109492
hmm...

its said, don't study for 12 hours a day youre giving yourself too much to remember.
study for like an hour, 10 minutes at a time then have a break to process what you've learnt.

but then the other argument is its muscle memory. and you need to put in thousands of hours to get gud.

>>2109492
holy shit what the fuck.. how do people get gains like that.. god damn it Im doing like 6-8h and Im getting gains like crazy but nothing even close to this what teh fuck 1year????????????

>>2109727
>gains
I've never heard that term used in reference to art, only lifting. That's what makes it hilarious.

>>2109729
I think Im the only person who uses it like that................

But it's gains isn't it? you're lifting (doing studies) and gettin gud. i.e gains...

>>2109743

not him, I just came across this thread.

I just wanted to say I like the word "gains" as a way of describing art improvement, it's cute

>>2109743
you really need to work on your portraits dude

>>2109497
>10 minutes at a time
What the fuck are you studying

>>2109492

>That moment when you where there when he posted that tablet picture
>that feel when you still suck

>>2109021
this happens all across 4chan. The site's way more popular than you think.

I'm sure there's intense shilling on reddit as well. Nothing wrong with it though. I'd do the same thing.

Lol so obvious olly

>>2109492
wtf? that picture of a table is definitely older than a year, i remember seeing it on some blog years ago

>>2110056
Its 6 years old actually, if you do the maths:
>2015
>2009
>2015-2009
>15-9
>6
That's 6 years ago

>>2109771
ive studied a lot of things actually, I meant more studying in general.
okay yea a drawing will take longer than that, but reading about it and studying information.

like don't try learn every muscle in the human body in a day cos you wont remember them, but leaning one muscle like a neck muscle, then implementing into your drawings would give you a greater improvement.

I think that's what hes saying.

>>2109492
I'm not familiar with this guy's work. but is there a reason the top 2 pics and bottom 2 pics in 2010 are such different skill levels? They look like they are by 2 different artists. I think there's been a huge jump in progression at least.

>>2110064

Oh olly

>>2110059
thank jibbers, for a second I thought I should quit art. 1 year to mega double pro from mega double shit? Fuck that.

>>2110059
then what does 2010 stands for

>>2110127
nvm im fucking retarded

>>2110310
Don't say that, you're perfect.

>>2110310
and now I am too..
1 year ?;/ gghhuuhuhuhggfhdfd I can go back to killing myself.

>>2110127
2010 was the year 5 years ago.

Friendly reminder that despite tehmeh's progress is still very impressive that picture is cherry picked to the max.

>>2111169
>cherry picked
its not even cherry picked, its a flat out lie. I mean yes its impressive, but those dates are false and imply a quicker rate of progression than is true.

>>2111169
>>2111192
every time tehmeh's progress has been posted since he left, it's more and more fantasized
>it must be cherry picked, because i can't get good that fast
>it must be impossible! he's lied! because i can't get good that fast

back then before everyone good left this was the norm

>>2111240
>hurrblergferg
no, we say its bullshit because the actual dates of the 2009 ones weren't from 2009.

>>2111262
how do you know that? were you aroud back then?

The older sketch was at least done in his own style without the line tool ;_;

>>2109492
he learned how light works + how to use the paint program

you can do this too

>>2111240
>it must be cherry picked, because i can't get good that fast

No, it must be cherrypicked because literally no one can make that kind of improvement, not even old masters who were under the personal guidance of other masters.
People like to cling onto this bullshit progression pic because it somehow instills a false hope that they can git gud fast, and that they can become a pro in a couple of months.

Going from deviant art tier scrub to that in a year is literally impossible.

>>2111297
>feel it meme
>getting that good is impossible
>projecting your art failures onto others
You are everything wrong with /ic/ these days.
Look back on conceptart.org and you will see his progress, among plenty who improved faster.. hell even catbib did and hes from here

But then maybe you're tehmeh, desperate to seperate himself from this place by making yourself look bad

>>2111240
tehmeh is a photobasher
