/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

the leg of the new one has different sizes :(
anyway, you have a good improve.

>>3597104
nice, you went from drawing your own backgrounds to pasting them instead, and adding useless textures just to cover up your inabilities to draw.

why would you be proud of sharing this crap?

4 year progression

>>3597984
Shit still looks like crap, Cameron Avery. ConceptArt.org still have you banned? So you come drop your pathetic attempts at painting here, you worthless sack of crap?

>>3597993
It’s my intended style. Sorry if you think all art should be the same and realistic. If I ever saw you irl I would beat your ass you incel piece of shit.

>>3598004
Fuck you Cameron, you couldn't beat your dick if your dad asked you to. :)

Or could you, hmm. That bit about ConceptArt.org piss you off, white boy?

>>3598007
I don’t care.

>>3598004
No wait, wait, let me take another stab at this shit. ConceptArt.org bans your dumb fuck ass and you spill over here, thinking that your majestic painting techniques are going to make you the next prodigy here, right? No precious, your ass is here because you have nowhere else to go, your failures on canvas on display for everyone to see, your shit expressionism the only saving grace while that revolver sits quietly in wait in that dresser door; one bullet in the chamber and it all goes away, Cameron.

Keep posting the same garbage again to make you feel better, now that mommy and daddy have hung their heads in shame to the pathetic lifestyle you've become, asking your friends and family to buy your paintings because you can even sell that shit at a discount at the art shows you go to. How many failures have to paid overpriced tables to, Cameron? Six during the summer, with little to show for it?

I know your kind, faggot. I pass by your table at art shows and watch you hunched over by the table, your fucking soul crushed because no one buys your shit.

Your dumb ass has been drawing since you were 15 and you're what, 24 now? Nine fucking years wasted. :)

It’s amazing how little you know about me.

>>3598012
Of course you don't care anymore, Cameron. No one else does.

>>3598027
There's the trust seeping in, Cameron. There's the truth about your life starting to sink in, that depressing feeling that you have to wake up and do it ALL over again tomorrow, that sorry existence only compounded by more paintings that like you, have lost all their appreciation.

Hell, I'd let you kick my ass so that you could at least say you accomplished something, instead of waking up again tomorrow with nothing in your hands but a broken dream. It's alright to cry Cameron, I know the truth hurts.

What's on the docket this week? More of the same from last week? Maybe even more from a month ago, now that you're banned from art shows, too? Where else do you have to go?

It's okay, when grandma was on the death bed you made a promise to be the best painter you could be. She's been gone now what, six years to the day?

She must be real proud of you. :)

>>3598034
People like this actually reduce the amount of shit posters in the world. Amen brother

>>3598027
So yeah faggot, I'd let you kick my ass, just because I feel sorry for you, a disappointment to your family, your friends no longer around you, your dreams shattered like pieces of glass on the floor.

You are of no value. Your paintings are of no value. So go ahead and kick my ass, Cameron.

Because life is doing a fantastic job of kicking your ass for me, and there's no escaping your life unless that luck clicks on that lucky chamber, doesn't it Cameron?

ConceptArt is still half a year away. What to do, what to do, desperation please, tell me what to do.

>>3598034
This nigga knows NOTHING about me. Both of my gmothers are alive. I just sold a painting yesterday. I am in all the major galleries in my city. My girl is the top tattoo artist in my city. My name is not Cameron. Lol. You are fucking pathetic.

>>3597993
>>3598007
>>3598021
>>3598034
goddamn lmao.

>>3598040
There you go Cameron, pretend to be black again so that you can feel something again, adopt that alter ego so that you feel invincible again, so that Cameron Avery doesn't have to suffer, tucked away safely in the recess of your mind ruined by the reality of your world.

Keep compounding the lies. Present that persona to the world again as your safety mechanism, because deep down inside you're fucking broken, inching closer to the edge, never a second thought about how your life has become this, diarrhea you can barely keep your head afloat of.

Keep pretending, Cameron. We'll pretend with you so that you don't feel alone. Come on, say nigga again like you really black, blood. We back in the hood, you aight, you aight.

Lol. I am pretty sure your life sucks more than mine. You an incel. At least I get pussy

>>3598055
Nigga boi pussy don't count, the fuck is wrong witchu?

>>3598055
Nigga you gay, too? The fuck is up with this shite?

What the fuck is going on in this thread

>>3598106

>>3598028
This is just cringeworthy

>>3597104
>using hard references

>perspective line between floor and wall is a curve
>dont even know how knees work
>left feet dislocated
>shading like a 9 yo edgelord kid
>dont know what a light source is
>using shitty textures to cover your poor anatomy

this isnt improvement, this is just worst, instead of "bulling" people and molesting children you should instead practice and stop being this retarded.

>>3597104
nice, keep up your hard work.

for me, i started learning to draw since last july. i recently started throwing colors on stuff. it's fun. my entire progress page is here:

>>3597984
more like degression

>>3597104
fuck

>>3597104
Looks quite the same, if something the 2018 is even more grotesque.

This is shit, no improvement at all, but at least you got better at molesting children, keep up the good work!

>>3598577

Sorry! It was directed at you, Red.

im not op i just had a bit too much coffee and i wanted to be a funnyman

>>3597104
I like the facial features more on the 2018 version
and I feel like it's more faithful to the character's design, It's rendering is also way better but also doesn't depend on it as much.

You've already posted this

>>3598034
such a powerful roast I can feel the heat as a bystander.

>>3598586
pretty cool honestly, i dont care if you are baiting, dont let fags shame you for drawing what you like by the chance you are serious
>>3598372
nice

>>3598607
has any of this information been proven?

>>3598278
visual stagnation

>>3598039
You're both cucks

>>3597104
>>3597984
>>3598372
>>3598555
literally zero improvement

>>3598650
What about you anon?

Threads like these really show you just how spiteful these crabs really are. Any real art threads just keep getting shot down by trolling.

>>3598586

>>3598372
Awesome improvement dude. Keep at it.

>>3598586
Noice

>>3598605
I'm surprised someone noticed

>>3598619
Not baiting, but cheers.

>>3599799
HOLY FUCK NIGGER

Every year or so I attempt a self-portrait to observe my technical improvements. These are about 1.5 years apart in time. First one does not even look remotely like me, second one is pretty spot on.

>>3599809
Those are from photo refs, right? Did you try a mirror ref one?

>>3599814

Yeah, I use photo references for self-portraits. I have no fucking clue how to draw super realistically without a reference lol.

Mirror ref? I'm assuming that involves drawing and using a mirror. Nah, I've never tried that, I imagine it would be hell.

>>3599799
bruh.......

>>3599814
OH I get what you're saying.

It's essentially the exact same photo, it's my face. Weight hasn't changed. The only thing that has changed is my haircut lmao

tear me to shreds if you so desire

>>3599820
I mean, there's an improvement but after 2 years you haven't decided to get a little more ambitious with how you draw things?

>>3599821
what do you mean? like perspectives and angles?
i've just been taking baby steps in progression, I guess
I don't think I have enough of a mastery of form itself yet to know how to do that stuff

>>3599822
I guess just adding more details as well. I suppose it depends on what you're going for. I typically tend to focus on more technical work.

>>3598639
>that filename
Anon, did you make this? I really hope not.

>>3599820
>>3599822
It looks like you haven't bothered to learn how anything works at all. Your pose is stiff, you have no idea how your forms work, how light works, how to do fabric or hair and worst of all you have no sense of appeal which is the main focus when stylizing anything. Get books and video tutorials in you ASAP or you'll just waste another 2 years doodling shit.

still need to work on lighting and making poses more expressive and fluid, but hey
sorry it looks like furshit
anyone remember drawn to life

>>3598021
>>3598034
absolutely savage

>>3597993
Why'd he get banned

>>3599861
yeah, I think you're pretty on the nose. The only thing I have a problem with is when you mentioned appeal -- isn't that kind of subjective? Is there a standard or something? And what of people who make unappealing drawings that are in all other matters technically sound?

>>3599909
Nice

>>3600059
Not OP but appeal might not necessarily mean you like it. I interpret appeal to be having a good enough handle on artistic skill that it shows in art; you ever look at something and know it's good, even if it's not your taste?

>>3598586
i mean ya got better.

>>3599820
You just need to grind fundies and weird angles to improve. There, that's my gift to you today.

I still have a lot of weaknesses to make into strength, but the journey has been fun so far so no regrets.

>>3598372
The movie stills are great, I've not abstracted a reference so much before.

>>3600517

>>3599819
I think he means that the camera lens can distort the picture.

>>3600742
he is right though... haw haw xD

>>3601131
what a dumb haircut for demonstrating lenses, might as well be a 2d drawing of a face half of them

I'm giving up on drawings better than I gave up before.

>>3601278
Nice waste of three years doing nothing but crosshatching. Can't wait for next year when you crosshatch the eyes, hack.

>>3601278
it just looks like you're learning to be patient lol

>>3601295
I thought the same thing when I was drawing it.

>>3601292
Thanks man, I knew I forgot something.

>>3599809
stop what you're doing and draw from life a lot more

about a year and a half difference.

>>3599799
>those fundies gains

>>3601472
bonus: one of my original drawings from 2013. weird. 5 years can seem long or short. it depends on how you lived it. seems like an eternity ago

>>3601472
looks like you just got lazier anon and messier anon.

>>3601476
i can not understand what im looking at to save my life

ehh

>>3598021
>>3598034
god damn, absolutely savage

>>3601741
you're half right. i don't always draw like this, but my patience with photorefs is zero. did this purely to contribute to the thread

>>3601292
Seriously now though, is it bad?

I feel like I've made progress. I mean, I can see places where my shadows made less sense, where I was drawing something that wasn't there, and which I corrected for now. And it's not obvious, because I only used it a little on the lips and nose here, but I'm finally starting to see things in places instead of outlines.

Is crosshatching a crutch or something?

see things planes*, not places

>>3597993
his real name is actually fucking pic related lmfao

>>3602032
>listening to 4chan trolls
oh anon. why would you post your art here if you cant handle them?

you want my opinion - i think youre doing fine. youre getting more accurate, feeling in more details. that is literally improvement. why do you think crosshatching is a crutch?

>>3602032
Work on your shapes buddy, even when hatching those are important.

>>3602032
No it is not bad the most recent one is alot better than the other two and you rendered it pretty well and captured alot of the detail and likeness of the person but from what i saw some parts felt off the biggest being the face was leaning forward too much and some parts could be shaded darker i would say just try to take it more slow and focus on the overall shape but know your making great progress just keep going!

>>3602169
>>3602032
Had to add a little more i looked through it again and as i was looking through at the rendering i feel what would help is to make your hatching not too messy it looks great from far away but when you look in some areas like on the suit and hair you see how messy it is like i feel the hair couldve had more form like the darker values in the image and had more control that would show the strands of hair but i know that doing all that detail would take alot of energy and time but i just wanted to add this so it might help you in some way but yeah just focus on the forms and shapes and keep doing your best your doing great buddy!

Sorry for the messing writing i dont really post much on here.

ignore the degeneracy in 2016 (traps aren't gay ok.....)

:'^)

>>3602074
I thought it was a joke, but I also figured I'd ask anyways.
This isn't the first time I've seen people complain about hatching, so I was starting to think there was something to it.

>>3602084
Will do!

>>3602169
Lol I really tilted his whole ass face. Thanks for pointing that out.
I think I'm going to work on drawing darker first, that's always been a problem for me. I suppose getting better at values overall will help me tackle the illusion of shapes without outlines next.


Thank you all, I appreciate the help.

>>3602188
And thank you too! Your messy writing is fine.

I'll study some strongly-lit hair, then.

>>3602194
How Did You Do That

The gap between December and August is because I took time off to work 3 jobs to save enough money to live without working for two years to dedicate myself fully to practicing. I'm waiting for my new tablet pen to come in so I'm doing pencil drawings right now lmao. Also the very last digital one is a WIP, I can't finish it without a new pen...

>>3601278
learn something else, you have already been replaced by a filter.

>>3602363
its not very good desu but it's cute and I hope you succeed anon. may god bless your little heart.

>>3602400
>>3602363

its me again, at a second glance I think you just need proper human figure proportions and some study of perspective anon.

>>3602403
Currently doing both actually, that's why I try to do backgrounds with every finished piece. I also do alot of traditional practice but I didn't bother throwing it in the chart because there's a lot and it's not very interesting desu.

Highly recommend Erik Olson's perspective course by the way, it's pretty great.

>>3599809
the virgin 2017 vs the chad 2018

>>3601320
fucking idiot, now go crosshatch the background lol

>>3602740
post your work coward

>>3602741
post yours first, pussy. Let's see if you have the balls to do it.

>you don't, you won't, you never will
:)

>>3599820
>>3600517
>>3602363
Give me your blogs

Here's a comparison of my own.

>>3602962
I like the aesthetic of the left

>>3601320
2016 looks the best though :/

>>3602975
Im glad! Thanks for the input I'll try to do a combination of both next time

>>3602998
This is a downgrade in many ways. You're losing your ambition and expressiveness that makes the one of the left one so much more appealing

>>3602998
U got cleaner but you pushed your values better on the left

>>3602836
I'm gonna make one soon, I promise.

one more, still couldnt figure out the elbow thing, and i guess values are a bit bleak, but i definetly feel more condfident with form

>>3601131
Here is another.

>>3603030
This is from reference right? Blog?

oh looks like this thread has gotten back on topic, that's good

here's my progress, I'm pretty proud of it but every time I look back on my old art I see it for how bad it really is, so if it's is actually still /beg/ tier please tell me

>>3602461

lmfao.

Right? hahaha

>>3603084
I think you just need to choose more interesting subject matter. Drawings on left a cool and homy. Rendering on top right is great, don't know what the middle right thing is at all though.

>>3603084
you realized that you need to get values right before colors

>>3603021
>>3603017
literally brainlets

>>3599820
Bunny ears were better.

>>3604677
>skipped

>>3604681
>butthurt

tried drawing my dog completely from imagination with no refs 3 years apart. first one was after a little more than 1 year including just paper/pencil stuff

>>3604672
You made some great gains in rendering, line quality and flow/gesture.
My advice would be to work on volumes. Some of your details feel like they're painted flat onto your basic forms. For example, all the details in the chest area of her outfit don't conform to the perspective of the shapes you'd expect there, but rather look like a drawn-on 2d template. The hair at the top and the masses that form the bangs have the same issue as well, which is reinforced by the shading/highlights simply describing the overall volume of the sphere of the cranium.

I've noticed this issue is common with people who get good at drawing mainly from imagination without doing many studies, as it's easy to internalize shortcuts to stylize certain forms instead of actually thinking about the way they're created. I dunno if you'd find it any help, but I think focused studies on forms and volumes could help. Pay attention to cross-contour lines, plane changes, and form-based rendering clearly depicting your planes.

Also, if you have a blog, I'd love to follow it.

>>3604737
Added to my cursed image collection.

>>3600917
Well if you can draw boxes in perspective you can draw ANYTHING. You just need to use small enough boxes.

>>3604924
>local anon draws the perfect circle after practicing only boxes for 4 years

>>3602755
but he already did?

pleb here from the frontpage, just wanna say that the one of the left looks really amaturish, but the one on the right is something I'd unironically use as a wallpaper

>undertale
Good progress though.

any of u lads know what that tattoo/logo is called? looks like the quak logo but it isnt that.

>>3604672
How did you improve so quickly senpai?

>>3605134
it's a hazmat logo you retard, nice of the tranny to mark himself as hazardous goods tho

>>3605198
>hazmat logo
No it isn't.

>>3605134
Yulia evil girls cam tranny or something

Been about a year since I first started digital

>>3605198
>>3605212
its the biohazard symbol

i think ive come a long way

>>3604833
what does cursed mean in this context?

>>3604741
thanks for the advice fampai, i'll try my best to keep it in mind in the future. I actually hadn't really paid much attention to how flat the details look on her blouse
my blog is at http://miruku-p.tumblr.com/

It might not be as much improvement as some people have gotten out of 2 years but it still feels good to finally be able to draw the stuff I visualize.

>>3605134
seems like a typical cow skull logo

>>3605221
that sep 2017 pic is doing things to me. how did you learn? how long you been at it?

>>3602980
i think you should do both. just improve on the first one, cause that is a nice style. the 2nd one is better in every other way, the first style is just more aesthetically pleasing.

>>3601458
Remember that eyes wrap around the head. Also ffs use a loomis head underneath to keep things structured.

>>3601278
2018 has too much mid-tone for the line style, 17 had a great vision.

>>3603030
What books did u study for that bootiful muscle anatomy? I mean, wow. Good job.

>>3601131
>>3603036
I wonder which ratio we view ourselves in when looking into a mirror.

>>3605781
* Hugs.

>>3606157
Thanks, I have been drawing since I was a kid but only got decent around 3 years ago during first year uni (pic related). I mostly draw from imagination (people and faces) but do plenty of figure drawing as well. I also speed skate so I have good knowledge on what appealing skating technique looks like.

>>3606264
so you're an example of a successful "just draw lol"? damn

>>3606266
I have no idea what that means, but there are certain lessons I have gathered about drawing over the past years.

Be consistent; with few exceptions, I have maintained around 1 hour or more of drawing time every day. Gains made from 4 or 5 hours of grinding over the course of a day easily evaporate if they are not consistently followed up with practice.

Be active; doing cardio/ staying in shape/ doing sports can be of great help to drawing because it keeps your brain active and healthy as well as instilling a sense of discipline often lacking in creative types.

Know the physical limits of your body; this is a bit more of a personal preference but I try to not beat myself up to draw when I'm really too tired to or when I'm feeling fatigued from too much drawing. Much like overtraining in sports I believe drawing / creative fatigue is a real thing and sometimes you have to condition your body instead of overcommitting yourself. Achieving the fine balance between discipline and relaxation is not easily described and is something that I am basically unable to do myself.

Drawing is easier when you draw the things you want to draw, a fact you can use to your advantage to log consistent drawing hours, but everyone should best try to step outside their comfort zone to get a better view if why it is that you do what you do artistically.

Lastly I would recommend maintaining a balance between drawing from imagination and reference, in order to grow your visual library and your skill in drawing from imagination, as well as a balance between studies and finished work.

>another year without any noticeable improvement still /beg/
>another whole year and god hasn't spared me the mercy of death in my sleep yet
It hurts so badly

>>3606295
That's some handy advice, cheers. I'm trying to improve a lot in my life right now, so I'm gonna wake up early before work and draw, to make sure I have no excuses for the rest of the day. In the next couple of months I'll get going to a gym and also do that in the morning. As for the rest, I hate drawing the things I want to draw because it leaves me frustrated with the fact that they look horrible, so I'm really just studying until I can draw an appealing human body in perspective. Maybe not the right way but I find it hard to enjoy drawing something I want to draw when really, I can't draw it.

>>3606298
Lighten up buddy, the guys who "make it" are the ones who push through! We'll all make it!

>>3606298
I'm only guessing but maybe you are not experimenting with your studies.
I have no idea what all of your 2017 art looks like but i can only assume that you moved to colors in 2018.
You should look at your small improvements than the bigger ones or else you'll end up scaring yourself out of art if you keep looking at it in a negative way.Make a list of things you want to improve and ask people whats the best way to study on these things.

>>3598034
And to think, I nearly didn't click on this thread....

As someone who keeps passing this thread by, is there anyone afraid or too ashamed to post their work in this thread? I've been at it for 3 years + and I am super uncomfortable with my own progress. I can't be the only one lurking who feels this way

>>3599909
>anyone remember drawn to life
haha you screwed up the spoilers lol git gud
[spoiler]i do remember, pic related is a pretty nice character from that vidya

Alright, do your worst /ic/

>>3606298
>the image on the right is drawn on october 2018
a-are you from the future anon??

>>3606370
Here's the quick rundown.
>cuter
That's a great thing, I want to hug your character.
No for the bad parts
>stiff
Very stiff, you need to practice gesture drawing and learn the concept of dynamic posing, as well as what makes a pose dynamic. Understanding and putting it to practice will help you greatly.
After you can lay down dynamic poses off your head, the next big thing would be figure drawing from life etc. After that it's up to you. Good luck

>>3606397
Thanks fren, I'll take that advice on board. Also very happy to hear that it got cuter as well.

>>3606249
thank you! hampton, steve huston
and i also look at artists that i love such as jeffrey jones and phil hale and try to do as they did

>>3606433

rounder softer shapes makes thing cuter, shouldn't have taken you 4 years to realize that

>>3605296
agreed, keep drawing and you'll eclipse all of us

>>3606433
god damn, look at that improvement. best ive seen on /ic/. good boy.

>>3597984
You got worse

>>3605781
This is nice!

Sorry super old but its the only b4/
after ive ever done. Constructed the faces myself but used mulitple references for shade, eye, hair, makup n things

2nd image composed of over 35 layers..Eyes alone had 7 dedicated ones.

>>3606306
I can only hope
>>3606313
>moved on to colors
No, my "knowledge" of colors has been the same for years and I never really color anything. I focused on construction and trying to "feel the form" this year. Though, thats basically every year.
>>3606371
I keep thinking it's October for some reason. Even in August I kept thinking October was coming up as though September had ceased to exist in my brain. Funny isn't it.

>>3606465
i understand that. i just appreciate the praise nonetheless

>anyone remember drawn to life
me
good vidya, now i want to play it again

>>3607094
Huh?

>>3607146
It just mean you learn slower or you weren't born with the talent. Some people can just grasp these art concepts better than others.

>>3606264
SHUT THE FUCK UP
I FUCJING WORKED AND STUDUED FOR YEARS YET I BARELY IMPROVED, BUT YOU COME HERE WITH "lolz i was drawing since I was in my mother's womb". FUCKING DIE, LOSE YOUR HANDS FUCK YOU AAAAAAAH

>>3605781
i love you

>>3606255
>>3606778
>>3607896

And here I was expecting /ic/ to find a way to shit on me for that piece

>>3599815
>Mirror ref? I'm assuming that involves drawing and using a mirror. Nah, I've never tried that, I imagine it would be hell.
yeah, for you it would be hell. anything that isn't flat and immobile is impossible for you to draw.

>>3608303
Aren't mirrors flat?

>>3603017
t. Illustrat

>>3610250
Not that anon but left's values with right's rendering is more where you want to be IMO. I don't like the textures so much but the values are pretty nice

>>3599815
You know what's hell?

I had an assignment where I had to use a mirror as a ref for an exact 1:1 scale drawing of myself, but was not allowed to use it while drawing.

So that meant running into the bathroom to look at the mirror then leaving and sketching what I could remember. Just going back and forth forever. THAT was hell.

And to top if off I have aphantasia (no visualization). So I was frantically measuring proportions and then repeating them to myself over and over on the way back to my drawing. Every time I forgot what I was doing it was time to go back to the mirror and measure again.

What a clusterfuck.

I happen to have these two illustrations of the same subject, i made these two for the /a/ Drawthreads, i notice a progress, but it's not the one i would like honestly. Feel free to critique.

I've been doing some meditation exercises so i can stay focused on my goals, i've had a lot days where i had more than 6 free hrs i could dedicate for practicing and i've done fuckall. it's been working so far, so i'm pretty optimistic about the future.

>>3610434
1st one is better in my opinion. Feels less generic and more authentic. Especially the face and hair.
Also congratulations on your life or whatever? Like, good luck doing your thing man.

>>3606796
and you've somehow managed to get worse.
Dude, art might not be for you.

>>3605112
>frontpage

Fuck off back to re.ddit

>>3610434
There's improvement but marginally. You've done fuck all with your time in terms of studying art and you know it.
If art is a hobby to you and you're actually some med student or some shit then that's totally fine, but if you're one of them dudes who acts like art is his main thing then know that you've totally fucked so far, and it's time to get your shit together.

>>3606796
So many layers for something that looks like it was all painted on the same one...

I mean at least the one on the right looks more human though. You need to do some more value studies, skull/anatomy, and learn how to render. Clean up your edges!! It makes everything look better. Also you need to learn about shadow and hard and soft edges bruh.

>>3606370
Form, gesture, proportions, and consistency are what you need to focus on. That's my two cents.

>>3605296
Can I get blog and just the right pic

>>3597104
FuCK im stagnant as shit

>>3611176
Maybe start painting? You can progress in various areas you know? You don't need to focus on one fundie, it is counter productive actually. Start to learn colors light and rendering and you'll see progress in form and line.

The second one is some months old, so I learned proper perspective since then. I'm going to do something for this thread later, but for now i'm full of work to do.

>>3611501
Lol, ignore the "2016", is a typo, is supposed to be 2018.

>>3610434
You should go out of your comfort zone more

help

Finally updated my satyr boy improvement timeline.

>>3611176
That's too small of a window, show something from at least a year ago.

>>3611501
I like it, you seem to be a very ambitious artist, and for that you will be rewarded heavily.

Do you draw without pressure sensitivity?

>>3612967
so in the end you turned it into a girl

Can someone tell me what in the FUCK are these moonruners talking about

>If you draw one eye by closing it
So only draw the eyes by closing one of your real life eyes?

I guess my biggest improvement is not drawing from reference and drawing speed, first digital piece took 8 hours while today it took 2 hours, I really need to learn drawing from other angles or perspective but youtube and reference aren't doing shit at me. Also fuck skirts

>>3613436
You should keep drawing from reference.

>>3613449
Fanart is better

>>3613406
yes

>>3598654

what about you? don't compare your progress to other people when you've stood still for an entire year you austistic fuck.

>>3613451

his bodies look deformed, don't use that fanart bullshit.

2015 vs some months ago, i know my anatomy is bad and i've been working on it lately but no fully rendered pieces to show for it so far

>>3613479
Hey thats pretty cute! You can crank out some good stuff now. keep it up anon

>>3613451
The hell does that have to do with using reference?

>>3613667
The fanart already has the reference EXP inside of it.

>>3606796
I've just started drawing in the last few days. If my art is as poor as yours after just three months, I will never draw again. Thanks for being my comparison for when I know I'm wasting my time.

>>3612967
Mad progress in the last year! And yay for girls!

>>3601476
This is awesome. I don’t know why a guy is sliced up in boxes but I dig it.

>>3612090

i hope i improved a bit

Pretty proud of myself

>>3614309
I would like for you to make me an Album Cover. That third pic is orgasmic. Could you draw this, in that majestic style you have? I'll pay you. just DM on twitter : @kaiyo_Gold

>>3605781
You are probably not in this thread anymore but I really need to tell you that is not how a fishing line works. At the end is a hook. Tied into the line above it, one or more little metal weights (sinkers) to help the hook stay down in the water and not float around. The white and red ball is called a bobber, because it bobs on the SURFACE of the water without sinking. It is not near the hook, there is line between them.

The bobber is how the fisherman knows a fish has grabbed the hook, because as the fish tries to swim away with the baited hook, it will pull the bobber under the surface, and the fisherman will know to yank on the line. Otherwise, the bobber never goes under the surface.

Please look at a picture when you're drawing something if you don't know how it works.

>isthisbait.jpeg

>>3617893

You're right that's how real fishing work, but its a Pokemon picture and the fishing rods in Pokemon don't work like real ones.

>>3607436
>>3607146
>>3605163
>>3607063
It's most likely how they studied and how much time they spent drawing and learning and analyzing their work.

>>3607140
literally who cares

>>3617947
Looks like the bobber is in the middle of the string, and the pokeball is the bait.

>>3598586

>>3597984
kek'd, good shit anon.

>>3613479
Looks good!
>>3613436
Cute
>>3612090
I like your style
>>3605781
This is my favorite picture anon do you have any more?

>>3602194
at least you actually made some visible progress, drink bleach giganigger for drawing that weeb trap shit though

>>3612967
interesting experimentation with styles, 2016 and 2018 are both good, 2017 SUCKS.

>>3618703
2018 is a fucking trap

>>3618705
it's also a sheep person? who cares

>>3598021
Fucking rekt

>>3598021
>>3598021
fucking destroyed. You get two you's for that

bump

>>3612967
i think you need to buckle down and actually start putting effort into improving mate, it feels like you're improvising while you draw. your style's changed, sure, but you haven't been gettin much better

>>3618300

I don't have any more art on that quality level... at least not that I'd share here. Been doing too much kink art lately.

Starting back up my SFW blog though and I intend to do a lot of Inktober stuff on it. You can look at my old awful art if you want.

A little under a year.

>>3622731
Next year spend at least some time practicing perspective

>>3622738
Ive been working on it but its kind of a grind.

>>3612090
way better proportions, good job matey.

>>3622744
Nice chrono cross anon

i've just registered an account on Twitter, I don't really know how it works but it seems that I can't DM you if you don't follow me.

>>3623170
Nice improvement. Color, proportions and lighting.

>>3613436
Blog?

>>3616118
What happened?

>>3599820
you havent even bothered to learn any anatomy at all have you?
It does look slightly better but it also makes it more obvious

>>3606295
great, a fucking /ic/chad.
I almost want to believe this is bait but it isnt
>just draw and play sports and beee yourself brah

Absolutely amazing. Do you have a twitter or something? I love your work.

>>3599820
cute

>>3597984
not to sound like a dick, but the old one looks better

havent really gotten where i should be after 2 years but ive still got lots of time so im not too perturbed
still a fag about color theory and finishing sketches though lmao

>>3610724
Not who you replied to but how would one study art to use it to improve their skills? Any tips? I like looking at art, and analysis is interesting too, but how can I apply it and improve myself?

It's safe to say I made gains between 2016-17.
>that 2015
I liked hiimdaisy.

>>3623851
Whoops, there should be a dividing line between the khezu drawing and the 2017 shit below it.

>>3623851
Cute cat girl in 2017.

>>3606251
I believe the human eye roughly translates to 55mm.

welp, it's been so long since I last drew for /a/ waifu drawthread
>dat stagnation

>>3624422
At least you’ve nailed down a cute and consistent style. Your art feels familiar too, what was your blog?

>>3624426
>nailed down a cute and consistent style
thanks, been drawing for quite some time but only recently do I get some traction for drawing im@s stuff, despite having drawn those for quite some time too

is there any fucking hope for me

Left is a year ago. Right is about a couple months ago. I need to draw more and I'd probably improve much faster. Thoughts?

>>3626293
Fuck I meant other way around

Work smart not hard. You gotta take care of your body and condition yourself to get stable long term growth. Better yet, work smart and hard

>>3618703
Cause 2017 is black

>>3598586
I never noticed Sans was left handed.

>>3622692
What do you mean by "improvising?"
I honestly do feel like I haven't made as much improvement in the last year as I would have liked to, though I swear to Christ it's not for a lack of trying. How would you suggest I further improve my artwork?

>>3625284
>>3616118

The Hazmat/Biohazard tatoo usually is a mark of someone having HIV. They get the tatoo as a warning to others.

>>3599799
hey mark do you still make drawing tutorials??

>>3601278
please squint more

>>3623170
Finish something, for the love of God.

I don't know if there is a ton of improvement considering I've been doing nothing but drawing and 3d modeling for 2 months straight but roast me. A lot of these are referenced from other pieces so don't scream copying. I wouldn't post these as my own.

Inktober 2016 versus 2018
I'd like to get better at this ink hatching though.
