>>2454374

>>2454416
the old one looks better
you're not ready for background work

dont mind me,
im going to inch on this illustration

>>2454451

>>2454416
> disclaimer: no offense to this anon, you're better than i am.

Do I have to go through this sort of stage of shit art? Lifeless tryhard monotone etc? Or if I stick with the fundamentals long enough can I
just have work that is less complicated but more "correct" i.e. looks better?

I see so many pieces of work like this and I'd rather produce the right thing done badly before I get to the stage where I'm collouring/adding a background to a piece of shit.

>>2454495
What are you even saying

>>2454513
git gud

>>2454495
In most cases, you have to trudge through shit to get good.
It's particularly bad if you're not suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect. Drawing shit when you know it's shit is an awful feeling. I know, because I did it for the better part of a decade, and even at that point, I wasn't even particularly good, just getting to a point of being half-decent.

Some of us are slow learners, and it's exacerbated by not sticking to the fundamentals, which I never did, and still don't do.

>>2454513

just like can you go from shit to good without making drawings that make you look like a tryhard nigger suffering from Dunning-Kruger.

thanks

The fuck is this dunning kruger meme. Art is a skill that dont last forever, many artists that drew good shit when they were young suddenly become shit scribblers when theyre old

man dead thread indeed

>>2455057
art isn't something which last, or doesn't, it isn't a potion which you take and last a while

your learn to draw good or not, but you never unlearn to draw bad, which means you can always fluctuate on the dunning kruger ladder, and forgetting stuff helps you to go down

alzheimer, amnesia etc.= involution in mental skills (drawing, sculpting, cooking etc.)

>>2454660
You spent too much time on this anon.

>>2455205
its a slow doodle
i made it to bump the thread
feel free to add in anything and correct my mistakes

its a never ending illustration that will never be completed because it'll never be perfect

>>2455228
Just doodled on it for fun. Just was wondering why you were doing it so slow. Keep doing what you're doing man, thread is on its last legs anyway.

>>2455230
its a slow slow process that never dies
its one layer on photoshop and saved on jpg

>>2455294
I'll bite and draw something to bump this dead thread. live long and prosper weeabro.

>>2455294

I suppose this is the most appropriate thread.
Thoughts? Critique?

what is the secret of getting gud like pic related

>>2455416
Avoid doing random "shadows" hatching like the ones on the left arm, it doesn't works.

I talk from experience, be careful with hatching in general. Most people uses them as cheap details to hide other stuffs.

>>2455569
Thanks anon. I'm pretty new to inking and hatching.
I was trying to give the arm more "roundness" if you get what I mean.

God damnit just go to >>2454339 and let this one die

>>2455503

draw 8-10 hours a day for 3-5 years closely studying line work, rendering and anatomy while also doing master studies of every example you can possibly find of pic related. Also, when you do your studies repeat them until they are perfect copies and think deeply before you sleep and when you wake up in the morning, when you are shitting or eating or fucking about what it is that the artist has done to achieve the marks you are copying. gl.

>>2455576
this one was made earlier.
go there if you want to discuss autism

how do you establish atmosphere in your draws like pic related?

>>2455575
You're giving exactly the opposite effect by drawing hatching made of straight lines.

My bullshit animu stuff, not even close to done but felt like asking for any suggestions.

>>2455710
Shit, can I still do it without ruining it or should I leave it as it is?

>>2455819
You already inked it, just move on and do better next time.

>>2455755
Chickenscratch.

Use a thinner, harder brush.

Mmm, be my LAVA, be my friend
Show me how this day will end

what happened to mikufag?

>>2455755

Study loomis's book about drawing heads and hands.

Not even joking. "Animu" heads are just normal skulls distorted into a baby/alien shape.

Suggestions?
