aren't there guys that went from 0 never drawn before in their entire lives to pro on conceptart.org?

>>3876692
in like a year*

>>3876689
If you asked for something I have personally witnessed, then I've seen ONE improve a lot with his manga series but I'm sure there are people that have made more progress in less time. Also your pic related. Araki progressed a lot if you compare his older work to his new stuff.

Even though I'm not too fond of his stuff, I enjoyed reading about how guys progress too:

>>3876692

I've seen a lot of these where theres some slow build up for a while and then they just git gud.

>>3876704

The only one where "It's muh style" legitimately applies.

>>3876968
>The only one
Yes I'm sure out of billions of artists in human history Sattou is the only one who ever thought of making meme drawings for fun

Araki's progress iis also over a good 30~ year period. His biggest jump in quality was definitely in P4 though.

photo bombing / tracing

>>3878810
That would explain the same face

>>3876838
anyone else find these ultra glossy images really soulless? i'd rather an mspaint drawing with some soul than this robotically generated garbage

>>3878824
Yup, I never understood the appeal

I think is totally traced, though. What do you think?

>>3878824
I like it as long as theres more to it or theres something happening in the picture. Shale's portraits are boring, though. I'll give you that.

>>3878834
They're tracing in both, at least the basic pose. You can see the same rendering in the clothing on the old one, just the face is the biggest gap in skill, so I'd think they're maybe colorpicking and heavily referencing someone elses art for the face, and it seems like the face in the first isn't their top level of skill, based on the smart places where they placed the minimal rendering on the shirt. But they probably used ref/trace for the pose in both, since the posing and body proportion is a bit too naturalistic for a beginner to have stumbled on as just an early style. Unless they're tracing another artist who also uses ref like that.

sometimes iam shocked by what makes me laugh these days.

I used to draw on dA and for some reason (don't remember how, since we weren't really even drawing the same things) happened to befriend a dude who was around the same level as me. He was super nice and friendly too. Then at one point he obviously got serious and started improving like fuck and I stagnated and eventually stopped and we fell out of contant. He ended up becoming really damn good in the end and I doubt he even remembers me anymore, but I can't help wondering where I could be now if I got off my lazy ass back then and started practicing with him.

>>3879718
how long did it take him?

>>3879721
Honestly I don't remember, it's been like a decade since then so the timeframe is not very clear in my mind. I just remember the point where he clearly started putting in effort and every new pic was significantly better than the last.

>>3876689
My own, cause I appreciate what I can do with my own power more.

People are gonna hate me for this, but shadman.

>my essay

>>3879732
I don't hate you(how dramatic), but I don't see it.

>>3878834
seriously looks really shitty to be traced but i could be wrong. the 2 pictures look almost exactly the same in skill level except the one on the right looks like they copied the face from a photo

>>3876702
probably became a professional and distanced himself from hentai shit.
usually the case when hent artists randomly awol

>>3879718
god i remember when dA was good

>>3876689
myself when drawings i did years ago look way better than my shit now :')

>>3876838
cute art by a cute artist
the crabs who've never seen her process vids can keep coping harder

Stop watching other guys and get some ball to make mistakes.

>>3879768
He went from drawing bimbo shit to gay shit

>>3876838
can't get any more soulless than this one

>>3876689
Hajime Isayama came a long way over the years

>>3882686

One more

>>3882686
Damn

>>3882697
how does that trash even gets published? all hail japan.

Oshimi Shuuzou.
He starter in stereotypical animus style and in the span od one series he went to film on realism

>>3876889
There's a time where everything just clicks together all at once and you ascend to godhood.

>>3876692
so literally every pro?

>>3885012

>almost every single example is the artist just switching from lineart to shitty glossy rendering

amazing how that guy convinced any editor to be published

>>3887625
retard

>>3887671
sup, Hajime Isayama

>>3887683
I doubt you know the first thing about manga. If you did, you'd clarify why you believe Isayama's work wasn't worthy of getting published.
