/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

this is totally achievable progress. Very normal

>>4689895
Post your work.

>>4689890
I don’t think that’s how art progression works.

>>4689895
>>4689927
lmao

>>4689890
Guys let's be honest the pic on the right is not that much of a Banger

>>4689890
>>4690051
here's an actual juicer

>>4689890
Is this progress possible in traditional pen and ink? Andrew Loomis is hard bros

>>4689890

>>4689890
Talent

>>4690197
Utter lack of talent

>>4689890
Looks normal to me ... 4 years starting from literally nothing to ok-ish anatomy/posing/face construction/background.

This artist still has a ton of weak spots, probably needs another 4-5 to flesh out their art to actual commercial level.

This is the standard 8-10 year journey from absolute beg to polished pro art.

>>4689890
How do we know that's actually real?

>>4690468
It is a very reasonable amount of time to improve that much. In fact, it's pretty tame compared to the utter psychopaths that came out of conceptart.org during it's heyday.

>>4689890
What if I just do like the Chinese and draw 16 hours a day for a year while grinding fundies? Will that work?

>>4690367
Pyw beg

>>4689890
Why are her tits so fucked up

>>4689895
It’s just loomis right dude? Grind those boxes and feel le form, until you can create masterpieces from imagination

>>4690051
it's cracked

>>4690197
>updooted

Why dont these tranny jannies delete garbage threads like this

>>4690214
post your art

>>4690555
Mmmmmmmm k.

>>4690055
How is this possible?
Do you just no-life it?

>>4690808
Damn, crabs btfo

>>4690051
>>4690055
am i the only person who doesn't care about lens flare, chromatic abberation, bloom and DoF and other annoying post processing effects? it doesn't look good. I want to see the lineart.

I feel like tons of digital artists get to a passable anatomy level then grind rendering. because once you get some rendering tricks down you can turn middling anatomy and line art into something flashy

>>4690808
blog?

>>4690831
instagram.com/alarios711/ not much material. Just got back into it after a break.

>>4690842
Don't worry, I don't have that much material either. Thanks for the blog anonpai

>>4690197
Pain.

>>4690808
seeing art like this reminds me how I still need to move to photoshit so I can use some nice textured brushes

The pose looks wack, but it's otherwise really good btw

>>4690808
based, crabs btfo. how long have you been drawing?

>>4690878
I m using the most basic cookie cutter chalk brush that is on every painting software known to man (and a granulated airbrush). I m sure there's a version of it for your favorite soft.

For the pose, i don't know, maybe you are right and it's gonna jump at me at some point.

>>4690907
5 years ago i was beyond beg, like bad floating manga head beg.

>>4690808
>>4690922
How many hours a day, master?

>>4690937
yeas very important question. If 5 years for less that 2 hours a day. No doubt it's TALENT

>>4690492
Ok, i get that and i think it's true, but still, how do we know that first picture was made by him/her?

>>4690937
Like 4-5h a day for studies and projects, got a job as 2D prop artist year 2 lost said job (start-up went and keeled over) at year 3. Got grinding on rendering the 2 following years, we are at year 5.

>>4691024
Thanks. I will increase my grind time.

>>4690808
>5 years, 4-5 hours a day
Is digital that hard? Doesn't even look compelling,

>>4689890
Anime is so easy, if you can't get to that level in 2 years you might be unironically retarded. I can draw wonky anime but i struggle with drawing potraits.

>>4690055
wow
spent 4 years learning to draw everything except faces

>>4689890
Give me 3 and a half more years
I'll achieve it
Just you watch

>>4689904
Y-you first.

>>4689890
Improvement thread I guess?
Am I going to make it anons?

>>4691347
This is just the exact same picture but with color.

>>4691347
The coloring is nice, but the anatomy is still bad

>>4691347
You're actually drawing and improving instead of the others, so definitely. Keep it up anon, looks like a nice mermaid illustration straight from a fantasy book. I can your improvements in anatomy, and ofc colour

>>4689890
From soul to soulless anime shit

>>4691347
You definitely improved anon, but you're just a hobbyist, right? I'd expect more from someone aspiring to be professional.

>>4691420
Well, I drew again the whole thing and slighty changed some things, isn't that what these type of "redraw this old drawing" challenges are about?

>>4691563
>>4691568
Thanks, it seems that improving on the anatomy and faces is the usual critique I get, what parts aside from the shoulders are done poorly?

>>4691575
Thanks, I'm actually studying Multimedia Engineer which is basically a weird combination between Software Engineer, illustration, and Animation so I do require a good amount of artistic skills, hope I'm able to improve more until I graduate, the only problem is that I don't usually have much time to draw and I take too long doing everything.

>>4690808
Delicious. I love seeing retared crabs get shit on. Also nobody besides beg posts their work so nice to see ic still has some skill left on this shitposting board.

>>4691668
There are artist better than the one that btfo the crabs, but most of em are coomer artist.

>>4690827
Yeah, but this is just how it works.
A piece with any amount of colour will always get more engagement on social media than one without it. Non-artist can't detect mediocre anatomy either, especially when it's hidden behind lense flares and decent rendering skills.

>>4689895
Let's see yours then

>>4691234
t. sameface

>>4692043
at least they look good unlike your dogshit

>>4692045
>animu style
>looking good
you got suckered by the nips, anon. Grow up and draw real human beings

>>4692050
This is WHY nobody likes you and your mom has given up.

>>4692052
exactly the type of "rebuttal" I'd expect from the manchildren who watch shitty oriental cartoons

>>4692054
at least I'm not you

>>4689927

I feel so defeated, won multiple art competitions, yet, still beg

>>4689890

>>4692054
>Unironically saying manchildren
I see you're one of those T*mblr coom refugees, absolutely abhorrent

>>4692054
>t. Calarts cunt

>>4692902
Is this supposed to be progress or finding a different style?

>>4692962
There's absolutely improvement here with shading and appeal as well as finding a certain style he likes.

>>4692983

>>4692962
>>4692902
Honestly I think people that post progress pics, especially to /ic/, are going to try way harder in the "after" image, and they typically pick a "before" image which was something they didn't put much effort into

>>4691347
You definetly improve at drawing hands, congratulations anon, that's a thougt one.

>>4693014
I always pick my best vs my best. Sorry I used to be super shitty I guess

>>4693014
projecting this hard

>>4690827
I bet she envisioned it with a chink lens knockoff

Last drawing I did before my tablet broke v The drawing I started on the new tablet I just bought

I thought I hadn't really improved much but guess I was wrong, it's nice to to do digital art again after not touching it for 3 years, maybe I'll actually figure out to how colour in properly this time round

>>4692637
Jesus anon, what sort of art competition you do?

First time poster nut here is roughly a years worth of change.

>>4693300
Not bad anon! I like your lines. Please stop shading with black and grey, though.

>>4690055
100% believable. Drawing skill hasn't even improved much. Biggest improvement is the hands

>>4693304
the shade and highlight colours are the coulours slightly darker and lighter on the Clip Studio Paint colour section, i think this ones a little grey/ black cause of the darker colours.
thank you very much though!

>>4693323
>the shade and highlight colours are the coulours slightly darker and lighter on the Clip Studio Paint colour section
I see! That creates the same result as shading with a low opacity black layer set on multiply.
When you're picking a darker color to shade with, try increasing the saturation too, and not just darkness for a more pleasing result.

>>4693387
Oh right, I'll bare that in mind! The saturation does make it look a lot nicer!

>>4693258
local high school competitions, usually companies used them to look good and act like a community

>>4693444
>local high school
You must be 18 or over to post on this website.

>>4693446
I just graduate and am 18

>>4693448
*graduated

>>4692637
I was at this level at 4th grade when I joined my elementary school art competition. I finished 6th out of 8. I quit drawing since then.

>>4693319
>Drawing skill hasn't even improved much
wut

>>4693584
What he means is that the recent drawing has almost no technical hurdle to overcome. 2 hands and that's it.

Doing these kinds of progress comparisons is meaningless with super low technical shit like flat frontal angle headshots. Actual progress is going from a flat portrait to plotting an actual scene using perspective, action poses, background and props, and still retaining good aesthetic.
