you’re doing it wrong

>>5217534
You do realize chicken scratching is not a catchall for messy sketching?

>>5217596
It is though

>>5217541
This is another reminder why you shouldn't take /ic/ seriously. Only come here for books and memes.

No it isn't you absolute retard, chicken scratching refers to specifically when you draw a line defining an edge of a plane with multiple shorter strokes instead of one stroke that goes the full length of the edge. You can be messy, you can draw a stroke multiple times over each other, but unless it actually takes multiple strokes to define an edge of a plane, it's not chicken scratching.

>Why do people shit on chicken stratch?
Because:
-hard to work with this
-poorly shape
-looking dirty
etc

>pic
Shading and coloring save it from a bad sketch lines.

Look at my pic: really ugly it is.

>>5217534
first of all this is a westerner

secondly there is no such thing as "chicken scratching" when it comes to actual artists, if it's there it's there on purpose


you faggots are applying begs not knowing how to draw to confident lines to literally anyone

>>5218050
>first of all this is a westerner
where did op claim otherwise?

>>5217534
That term has been parroted so much it has lost whatever meaning it once had, if any. Originally it referred to a very specific kind of stroke done by certain beginners. I would produce an example but I don't save that kind of shit

>>5218014

It's ugly because of your lack of talent not the chicken scratch.

>>5218088
First it's my old work, but who cares.
Secondly, I'm don't need a this shitty meme as you call a talent. Study and work only.
Thirdly, sure you understand more. So, post your work to help me with my style. Don't be shy.

>>5217534
If it looks good it’s not chicken scratch. Simple as that.
Chicken scratch is a general term for when people get bad results due to excessively messy or unconfident lines.

no way you're that retarded

>he thinks triple parenthesis is the same as quotation marks

Can you post examples what is scratching and what isn't?

>>5218014
Dont use black like that

>>5217541
haha look at this fucking idiot

>>5217541
retard

>>5218197
Okay

>>5217534
chicken scratch is 100% unintentional

>>5218053
he probably implied it with the weeb drawing

>>5217534

>>5218191
B-but scratching always was a drawing technique, not a design feature. If you drawing scratchely it's always scratch regardless of the result!

>>5217534
U should fkin know what "chicken scratching" is first stupid beg.

>>5217534
that isn't chicken scratch you absolute retard

>>5217534
going over a confident line with another stroke to define it better is not chicken scratch, chicken scratch is building one long line through multiple disjointed lines that end up making it look "hairy"

chicken scratch is many lines drawn over multiple times to cover up the lack of knowlege of where exactly it should be. the directions are all over the place and form is ambiguous at best. which looks like chicken scratch
sketchy art style is many lines drawn over multiple times to create an atmosphere. there is clear knowledge and direction
compare

with

does that help?

>>5219548
seriously how hard is it to make begs understand this

>>5219548
which is this?

>>5219620

Thanks anon.

Can you link the videos with scratching and non-scratching drawing process? Is this scratching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PX3mN4Wgs4 ?

In order to save this whole fucking thread:

What separates messy yet appealing sketchy line art from chicken scratch is that usually there's points where the lines are solid and clean.

The dynamic use of clean lines mixed with messy lines gives a certain amount of focus in very much the same way that different line depths can imply shape and form of something.

Your eyes are subconsciously drawn to the thicker and cleaner lines first where as the messier lines have less emphasis. It implies forms and shadows.

If the whole sketch is covered in messy lines it comes off as chicken scratch and unappealing because there's no rhyme or reason to the messiness. Your eyes can't 'rest" anywhere and it's become hard to look at feel the implied shapes and forms.

In that Ram artwork, you can see how there's messy lines but there's also thick clean lines that help shape her silhouette. Most of the "messy" lines are implying the chaotic volume of her hair.

drawing with a pencil is scratching its tip on the paper to make marks

Can we just make this the banner on top of the board?

chicken scratch is nice at a minimal level. There's nothing I hate more than that ultra-anime smooth lineart made with stabilizers, it's so soulless. I think what you're really looking for op is textured lineart, it makes art more lively and detailed and doesn't look unconfident.

The average smooth lineart enjoyer probably works on their art zoomed waaaay too close in. art is meant to be viewed at a distance, a little sketchiness isn't that big of a deal

>ultra-anime smooth lineart made with stabilizers
Can I see an example? Can't differ a stabilized line from natural if there is no scratches or discontinues.

Another lazy artist who wants to excuse himself by saying: bUt x ArTSIt uSeS this durr hurr I hate loomis hurr durr
Just give the fuck up and go back to watching anime or videogames.

its been 3 fucking days why are people still responding to my shitty bait tread? its not even good bait
