100% convinced that you may learn more by polishing a turd as opposed to being stuck on a rut doing nothing but unfinished sketches for years on end and never leaving outside of your bubble.

>>4567283
This is true.

>>4567306
>>4567277
Also, soul.

>>4567283
I think the key is understanding that you’re polishing a turd so don’t fall down the rabbit hole of trying to fix fundamental problems with more polish

Here's one more.

>>4567283
You'll learn more about rendering at least. If you want to get good rendering, then render a lot.

Here is a video by cubebrush that can help with polished turd. His angle is saving time but it's also a very good way of progressing without creating too much abominations along the way.

>>4567277
how about you go draw and improve instead

>>4567394
I recently started watching those. That's how I've been noticing what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

>>4567283
Stop insulting my floating loomis heads you degenerate digital libtard

>>4567283
Ouch that hit too close.

I'm a Polish turd

>>4567283
in my experience you learn a lot when trying to find out what makes the drawing a turd and actually correcting it. covering parts that feel off is a great way of doing this

>>4567283
Yeah this
Notice you usually see "then and now" images of art progress from artists who improved a lot, both images usually are rendered beyond sketch

At least he's making finished work. When's the last time you finished something, loser? I bet you just have a folder of 50+ untitled wips

>>4567994
Tfw you have hundreds of thumbnail ideas and concept art for your characters and environments but can’t muster the strength to actually make finish artwork because the fear of failure and not up to your expectations.
This is something hard to break through but every artist must.

>>4567277
i unironically like everything in the op image except for the character, maybe i'm just fucked in the head but that background is pure soul

>>4568002
This was clearly made tracing a DAZ3D reference. You can tell by how souless it is.

>>4567277
Posting the classic.

>>4568072
this is what happens when you just draw

>>4567277
>>4567391
>>4568002
>>4568072
This is what soul looks like, not that any of you faggots will understand this.

Tfw Polished turd are more marketable than your eternally unfinished art

this, desu. /ic/ is by and large incapable of seeing a piece through to completion. The social media thread is full of blogs that have nothing to show but half-assed sketches, low effort studies and work-in-progress drawings that never follow through.

I'd take a polished turd over some low-effort "study" any day of the week.

>>4568002
That's Suzanne Helmigh ... She has done a fuckton of professional work for WotC (RIOT, Guerilla, Valve, etc ...). I have seen her do physical card alters live and looked at one up close (a prominent magic player i have as a friend got one).

Her skill is uber legit. Including in trad. This one looks a bit wonky but the rest of her catalog is mostly rock solid.

>>4568142
I don't think this is a turd.

>>4568142
You can't really "polish a turd" working with pencils, and even if this was done digital I still wouldn't call it polished turd. Sure ciri looks like a feet taller than geralt and the characters look a bit pasted on but few mistakes don't automatically make it a turd.

>>4567926
fuck off asukafag

>>4568072
Who actually drew this? I hope no one from /ic/ because goddamn thats really sad.

>>4567277
>>4567391
Is that really 'polished turd' or more like 'decent art with bad coloring'?

>>4569945
Polished turd.

>>4568138
You tell em anon

>>4569945
wonky arms and short legs

>>4569508
I heard some questionable gossip it was actually a janny from here lmoa

>>4571807
HAHAHAHAHA
I WANT THAT TO BE TRUE SO BAD

my art circa 2014

>>4571918
the vibe is nice

>>4571935
that's what she said

Op here. Just another. This was a quickie.

>>4568072
I find this is so bad that it's already good again. Would be an interesting style if he could consistently paint like this.

me art

I see that a lot of you mention facing the fear of failure as a merit of finishing work.

For me tho, finishing work, especially digitally, take a disproportionate amount of time compare to the rest. Cleaning up my sketch is like 4 or 5 times the time that I spend conceptualizing it and sketching it. So because it feels so much like a grind and inefficient, despite that I'm usually happy with my finished work, I don't do it too often. And I mostly sketch stuff that I want to be able to draw but that I have problems with, for now it's anatomy, at standard and varying perspective

does finishing work get faster as you do more of it? Maybe my workflow is bad too, I should probably at least do another pass over my sketch before inking

>>4568072

>>4573700
Absolutely horrendous

>>4575451
pyw?

>>4570047
now THIS is what i'm here for. thumbnail looks fantastic, full is very rough - this person will probably be good one day.

>>4567277
Just go to my insta page its full of shiny turds

>>4568142
most of her art looks like polished turd

My last work kinda lmao

>>4573694
I thought she had a big machine dick at first

>>4568142
is there any art made with coloured pencil that isn't trash?

>>4567277
Yeah you're right they shouldnt have tried at all... no wait, you're wrong.

>>4575206
