High beg is fair. You both know what you're supposed to be doing but the skill hasn't caught up yet.

>>6626797
maybe the first one but >>6626785 is a ways from high beg yet. Values look mostly uniform, internal contours on the left skulls ramus are totally off and the whole skull is laterally squished. mid/beg/

I think I’ve finally gotten over the hurdle and hit int.

sure

>>6626823
mid/int/

This one took me roughly a day and a half with the coloring. Nearly burned out toward the end. Fml I can’t work on a piece for longer than a few hours before my brain goes full adhd.

>>6626853
high/int/ skill wise but you can get some pro gigs for stylization

>>6626823
Definitely either High /int/ or /adv/

>>6626627
Its like it has beg parts and int parts. I like the lines and the face area, everything outside it seems low effort. Id say int though I really like those lines man. And the likeness of that chink person is probably pretty good too I can feel it.

>>6626785
Mid beg, if by chance you want to draw cartoons stay the fuck away from these diagram like, measured "studies". Better off doing more liberal sketches using your eye. I mean sure, maybe this is useful in the very beginning, just dont be surprised if your imagination stuff doesnt match up to this. Lines are also shaky but headed in a good direction.

>>6626823
Int, nice shapemaxxing, mirin lines. Some things I noticed were off: the hand to our left is drawn cheaply, and the perspective on the green neckplate thing is a bit too intense for this angle. It also creates a tangent with the bottom of the skull so it looks weird. The hand is bottlenecking your level the most, the rest are nitpick details.

>>6626853
Low int, you have enough to get your ideas across and grab attention. I dont have much to say, the style is throwing off my focus, it really allows mistakes to hide and Im generally not a fan of these types of styles.

>>6626859
No idea, its very arts and craftsy.Your skills are probably in the beg range even though this looks kind of decent from afar. The heart is what gives me beg vibes the most, seems like youre uncomfortable with forms, line confidence and hatching

>>6626861
Ill comment on the body. Beg but I think you have an eye for whats important in a female body so you might be making something passable not to far from now. If you didnt hide hands and arms and didnt troll with the face maybe youd score higher.

>>6626892
I heard you sell these and yeah they look marketable, good job. Solid int. I think everything does its job pretty well, I dont feel like I can give useful crit from my level.

>>6626569
>>6626599
it's nice to have your hardwork be acknowledged idk if thats dick comparing, also, it can provide a useful reality check.

now that I think about it, can you really ever stop comparing your art/skill? if your goal is to improve, I imagine somewhere along the way you will have to compare your stuff to the kind of stuff youd like to be making for direction.

It's also interesting to see what a stranger will say when they are anonymous, you dont see communities like that anywhere else these days, really, especially one as big and niche as ic.

Posting moar of my stuff

>>6626933
decent studies, prolly mid /beg/ in terms of skill but what you posted is low /beg/ cause it shows bad/underdeveloped taste in the palette and design

>>6626934
I understand and agree, untill now I have been drawing with only pencil and never colored anything so I have absolutely no experience with coloring stuff and color theory

My goal this year is to make 12 finished pieces, one for each month
So far I've done 8 (2 in this pic are from last year)

I'm looking forward to december to compile every finished picture and put it in a big progress pic à-la tableguy

This has been a great year so far
Very large file, btw

this was the last drawing I finished and I finished it a few months ago. I posted it when i finished it but I think it was in the /beg/ and /int/ thread

>>6626627

Almost all of my works are colored; this is just my most recent. Feel like something about the face is cursed but I'm not sure what.

>>6627404
Head's too small in general

>>6627404
Her hands are pretty big compared to her face and her face seems compressed. Too much definition in the nose for the style you're going for with the eyes.

>>6626921
Strong aesthetics, but not a lot of technical skill on display. mid /beg/

>>6627228

>>6627285
Confusing choice to get rated but at least some form and some trad knowledge lands you are mid /beg/

>>6627304
low /int/

>>6627344
mid /beg/ overall, but lineart is low /int/ and coloring is high /beg/, just dragged down by anatomy, and perspective

>>6627380
high /beg/ with less eyerapey colors

>>6627387
hard to tell, low /beg/

Inconsistent in style, proportion, and quality across various spots, obviously some technical ability is /int/ tier but not being able to bring it together keeps you high /beg/

Thanks for checking my art out, anons
What do I need to be considered, in your eyes, /adv/?

Anyone else is welcomed to comment or critique too, I'm >>6626892

I’m stuck at work.

>>6627228
I feel like more people should post their work like this, with more than just one picture so it's easier to asess their general skill level

>>6627627
/pro/

>>6627620
I personally think you are at the level where taking a deeper dive into your fundies will work wonders for you. Try out a perspective course or do a deep dive with anatomy, maybe even color and light. Go in with intention of applying what you learned very shortly afterward. If you aren't already, make sure you are figure drawing no less than 4 days a week. That's all on top of what you already do. Good luck on your journey man.

>>6627693
Thank you!
I'm actually entering art school next month and I got an interview regarding my portfolio (Pretty much what I already showed here, more or less)
They said

>Anon, you got a pretty defined style, we expect students to explore new horizons and try new styles on our class, you are ok with this, right?

Which is a polite way of asking me not to draw anime during the course, I guess, which is totally ok with me!
So, I'm using this experience to study fundies. I will try some courses while I'm at it, thank you for your suggestions, kind anon

>>6627699
y-you're not getting yourself $200k in debt, right?

>>6627277
Means I like your shapes.

>>6627620
Personal taste but maybe try a few different eye and nose styles out. What you've got going on feels westoid.

Originally a full body drawing but I could not make the lower half look good. So I gave up and cropped it. It's from months ago and I've never made anything as good as it so I might have plateaued.

>>6627892
That's really cool
do you have any other work you could show us?

>>6627892

Yeah what >>6628064 said I really like the colours and pose here

Work in progress for an illustration I am making.

>>6627228
you need to put more effort in rendering and backgrounds in general if you want to keep improving rather than "I just wanna """finish""" one piece of art each month"
ask yourself if your art could be the cover of a book, or a videogame. The truth is it's very lacking

>>6627871
I want it to be westoid

>>6627707
It's not a big course or anything, it's a birthday gift actually, 6 months of Editorial Illustration diploma. I used to work making some book covers, so this will come in handy

>>6628155
3 out of 4 of these are latinos, what's up with that? Same with comic book artists,

mid /int/ stop using black for shading and white for highlights, gives an uncanny feeling

>>6628413
>Ask yourself if your art could be the cover of a book or a videogame
Is that what you think I'm capable of? I'm extremely flattered anon, comments like this make me want to draw tonnes more
I initially set the goal of finishing one piece every month because prior to this all I made were unfinished sketches. In fact, that maid with a shield and lance was a sketch I made years ago but only now took a stab at coloring and finishing up

>>6628447
Thanks man, I appreciate your input. I only used black in some occlusion shadow and I did not use any white. Yours is high beg. You have good proportions and your anatomy is fine. The rendering seems unfinished and the color scheme is kinda dull.

High beg, quit using low satiration to avoid having to shade pussy

My "standard" average effort piece I can do in around 20-30 minutes looks like this (I still kinda suck with poses and my art isn't as detailed as I want it to be, but my sense of form and lines are decent enough). My goal for now is to reach mid-/int/ as the fastest rate I can and improve detail in my art alongside getting better at poses, intuitive perspective and general draftmanship alongside maybe a full switch to digital.

Every single other ranking in this thread is better

>>6626892
Low int because the forms (especially the miku) are oddly assymetrical amd wonky. You also do this annoying thing where you make the eyes huge and super close together like western retard instead of leaving an eye space between like you're supposed.

I actually like this, low saturation can work, you just have to use more dramatic hue shifts to compensate for the lack of value contrast. Maybe I shall do a paintover to show you what i mean....In the mean time, blog?

because you're going for faces with big eyes which is a thing from asian styles (and modern disney) and the distance between the eyes is an important factor
westerners tend to overlook that and end up with big eyes with western eye spacing (smaller eyes = shorter distance) which looks bad

these ratings are all over the place. Beg work rated as int, high int being rated as low. What kind of ganja you mongoloids smoking?

Do the thing

>>6628970
I think you are posting under the assumption that this are facts rather than opinions
Opinions from members of a board of people that Want to learn how to draw (Meaning they don't)

>>6628982
Have you been to /tgamm/ before? Cool to see you here.

>>6628993
Then this thread has no business existing, otherwise if it’s all just subjective then why have ratings with specific criteria that aren’t even being objectively applied?

>>6627228
How do I get to this skill level?

>>6629013
Did I just get recognized? This is so cool, thank you, and yeah that was me.

Might be a concept hard for you to grasp, anon, but materialistic and objective ideals are pretty much less than a half of what composes humanities interests

>high int.
There's no high int artwork itt.

>>6628968
Well on account of getting salty maybe ngmi, sure.

But no, I just meant you’re early on in the process. It’s a still life with a poorly realized value range, naive colors, and little sense of form.

It’s fine for an early attempt, just keep going and couple it with reading up on theory (value theory, light theory, perspective)

Thanks for the compliments Anons, I appreciate it. I've got a twitter I hardly use anymore but post onto sometime. It's OneWholeRaccoon for anyone interested. To answer why I come here; every online art community is rather similar to each other. Some draw more than others or they don't. The only time you'll get feedback worth your time is if the other person knows what they're talking about, which is a minority of people. I like ic despite all the doomposting and ai threads. I mostly come here to give some advice the odd time or two. It's not much harm done to me since I'm at the point where I think I can make improvements on my own by putting in some elbow grease.

>>6629247
high beg/low int. I think If you work on your making your shapes a bit more interesting in the background and work on making the values in your composition pop, you'll have something nice on your hands. Try studying some artist you like who's compositions you respond to at glance. for me it's Mead Schaeffer
>>6629279
low int/mid int. I can tell you have a good grasp of shapes and rhythm. The lighting looks good too. It's just a bit hard for me to assess something this rough. I think you can be a bit more decisive with the shapes in the lower and middle portions of the face. It'd be nice if you resolved the area with the feet. Overall everything but the hair feels appealing to look at.
>>6629460
high int/adv. The only real problem with this one is that the composition has a problem for me. Specifically I keep coming back to her belly button rather than her face or hands since it's the one of the higher contrast areas. It's rather distracting. I keep pausing at it when I go down the figure and I linger. Also her ankles and feet are a bit flat. Overall very good.

>>6629556
>>6629559
Really nigger?

>>6629556
I just did lol.

On the subject of improving learn to measure and observe. If there is an object that has a ratio of 2:1 in front of you and you record it on paper as 3:1, you can see how the drawing has already fallen apart right? observing visual proportions is critical in drawing well. You wouldn't be able to draw a sphere without understanding and seeing it is equal on all sides. The best thing to do is get a teacher or mentor If you want to improve at a faster rate. Ideally they'll give you the right set of knowledge and tools to understand things on your own. Again having the right knowledge makes things easier. If you try understanding reflected light too early but you don't understand how to separate light from shadow, you're only going to confuse yourself. Start simpler and make sure it is right, then add complexity onto to it. I couldn't paint this sphere for instance without some prerequisites of form and light. If I didn't understand and execute grayscale well the color would be obsolete.

>>6626569
I'm always late to these kind of threads, lol

>>6629570
That sounds like 2% of what is required to make art you posted. You telling me you dont study figures in a specific way or that you dont have some unique approach youd like to share? Get the fuck outta here. Less skilled people have shared more insight. But whatever, keep your secrets.

>>6629556
Also been drawing most of my life, but it didn't really mean anything only maybe the past 5 years have been relevant. Looking back in sketchbooks from high school I wasn't even capable of drawing decent circles until grade twelve and onward. I had no grasp of form, proportions or any of that let alone light.

>>6629583
I'm just not much of a typer, I'm more of a speaker. Of course figure drawing is important and rhythm as well as a bunch of still lifes. But not a lot of people know how to observe accurately, which is why there drawings come out the way they do. Even worse is when you're not actually looking at the subject you're drawing like I did throughout highschool. If you can't see an angle from the model and compare what you put down to paper, it doesn't matter how much you draw, you can't correct yourself because you can't see. Pic related is a simple exercise in proportion if you're interested. 1.00 is the reference point for every other measurement you make, in this case it's the height of the cube.

>>6629622
You have no idea how unimportant that is in this discussion lmao. You have the artistic autism that disables you from explaining how you do things. GMI, Im dead serious.

>>6629583
Most approaches also tend to be rooted in the exact same stuff. I mostly use a combination of shape turned into forms and use whatever tools I can to elaborate. When figure drawing I start with the head or rib cage and build from there. None of it matters if you don't learn how to see proportional relationships tho. I'd also advise taking time when figure drawing. If you can't do it in 2 minutes, you might need more time. Figure drawing isn't fast at first, like all things it's slow and methodical. You're analyzing the figure by filtering it through forms and rhythms, but those need to be supported by accurate observation. Again I never said that measuring was all that I was doing, I said it was critical. The way I study figures isn't much different from anybody else that's talked about the subject. I'd say much like the dedicated proportional exercise I ended up posting, you want to isolate your studies to one single concept. Keep it simple. Eventually you can juggle more.

>>6629630
how would being incapable of seeing accurately and learning that skill not be important in a discussion about improving? It's practically half the battle. What exactly do you want to improve? If you ask broadly I will answer just as broad. Can you be a bit more specific about a subject you'd like to improve on? That way there's a bit more of a focus on where to start a conversation centered around improving. Cause all I can do is provide exercise where we are now and detail there purpose

>>6629579
mid beg.

>>6628631
nigger, look at the ones that actually are supposed to be cute and/or are humans. Rapunzel's eyes are much better spaced than whatever you're doing so she looks super hot, Ghibli style eyes are even smaller and father placed apart than typical anime, and bambi is an animal with eyes more or less an eye and a half apart. Power puff girls and Sonic dont look horrendous because they extremely cartoony and not really rendered, unlike all the art you posted (cell shaded, but still following good color lighting logic).
Even if you decided to do ignore this (which you shouldn't because 90 percent of what normies like in cartoons is the face), you still have those fundamental problems in your figure drawings that you still haven't addressed. I remember when I gave you crit for the gesture one time, but you still make the same issues of your posing being awkward still

One thing I've been up to lately is drawing references from memory after studying them. found it to be great for improving visual library. The process for this went from breaking down how another artist separates the forms, to applying those forms to reference than recalling those forms in the same position. In order to know how much information you retained, you must recall the information. It's not much different from memorizing a speech or a fact. You read it, then without the paper you try to remember it. This is how I go about building a visual library for instance.

>>6629279
Forgot what I originally wanted to do for this desu.

>>6629669
this is what i was talking about, thanks.

>>6629622
Except the angle is off, even just looking at it from a distance I can tell the top plane of the cube is slightly different than what you drew. You somehow angled it more flatter (esp the top and bottom line of the top plane).

Its more realistic that he uses that type of exercise than absolute prebeg measure copy shit. It was kinda shady. Its not that I want to hear anything new, jsut what he does specifically.

>>6630255
you're right, but in the end i think you know it comes down to mileage. we're on /ic/, we've got all the resources, now we just need to actually execute them

>>6629640
>you want to isolate your studies to one single concept. Keep it simple.
I only realized this recently. I think internet courses force some people to take on too much at a time. Happened to me.
>Again I never said that measuring was all that I was doing, I said it was critical
Measuring seems to autistic to me, better to train the eye.

>>6629829
>Poor taste but good execution/int/ but draw other things than coom
drawing coom is the best way to practice. and also people wouldn't be interested in my regular artwork. having two accounts just shows how nonpopular my regular art was.

>>6626569
I think plainly 2 or 3.

>>6629092

>>6630752
And totsnium white because i am not spending on lead white for a university course

>>6629828
Yeah you're right. I ended up doing it in about 2 or so minutes and rushed the angles through. I mostly did it right then and there to make a point and hopefully show a useful exercise you only really need to do once to get an idea of what it is you're trying to see in your head when drawing. You can do it with fractions too or better yet use plumb lines. God plumb lines are great. It's mostly to get the point across that you need to approximate/estimate things and relate them to each other. Is this line smaller, bigger or the same to that one? Is this line horizontal or vertical, if not then how much do they deviate? Surprisingly I thought I didn't get that front most corner down far enough but I ended flubbing the first angle from the corner then started inventing the others.

>>6630255
For the most part it will apply to anything. Study and understand why the artist applies the things they do, apply thing from artist to reference, you can trace on top of it so you know that you're applying appropriately. I did this with legs since the knees are complicated. Apply again with reference without tracing. After finishing a reference that you've done without tracing, draw that from memory. Rinse and repeat. The last two parts are going to be the quantity practice portion of this. You've figured out how to do the thing you just need to become efficient and form those neural pathways. But you want to make sure that you're doing the analyzing correctly. So either you get someone to tell you before you do the quantity practice or you're fending for yourself.

>>6630343
I say do it once with plumb lines and angles, maybe at most all you need to do is say that what you're comparing to is whether it's bigger, smaller or even. I also suggest you make the decision before checking with your pencil, that way you correct the mistake and you see where you went wrong.

>>6630944
The link I posted is from lovelifedrawing and talks about Simon Luty's process to how he learned. It's effectively just talking about how to learn in general. He does good work.

>bunch of AI generated shit
>anons still think they are evaluating human art
unless provided with files or some proof of actual human effort, you guys should stop bothering with this AI-fags

Level 0.5

I get these spergy bursts to half draw something, hate where it’s going, give up and draw nothing for like a month, then try again and repeat the process. I bought Fun with a Pencil and How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, and… I don’t fucking know man, I can’t pull myself together on weekdays to do much but get ready for wagieshit, and I’ve got this pilgrimage in the fall I’m trying to get more walking in for and that takes up the weekends so

We just keep doing this cycle of
>I want to art
*runs into the slightest besmirch of ego despite understanding I haven’t the skills down*
>I’ll do art when I’m feeling better
*three weeks pass*
>I want to art
etc

I can’t just focus on it unless it’s massaging the autistic fics in my head, and then if it’s not matching what I picture it just hurts to work on, and I start hating myself more than the art.

I want to art, don’t I? I think I do but I can’t fucking get my shit together to focus and practice or even keep consistent, I just

Surf 4chan or dance around my apartment imagining the animations I never draw set to songs I like

>>6631137
Oh yeah I have ADHD too, that’s part of it too

Not like ‘ooh a tiktok made me self-diagnose’ I mean like I got that diagnosis in the 90s and then some fucking kike in high school convinced me meds were death and I proceeded to fuck up my college gpa over going cold turkey on all my meds

I mean I probably didn’t need four of them to juggle symptoms but the 5mgx2 methylphenidates I take make sure I eat food consistently so

It’s probably real.

>>6628447
Hey anon I really like your work. Tried to make some changes,feel free to take the ideas you like. Got a blog?

Don't you just love it when people just offhand tells you that you're a beginner when they don't even post their own art or actually give any actual criticism like why it was rated as such

I liked these ones

https://files.catbox.moe/nogx16.png

That's really cool, looks photograph-like

>>6634100
I did it while going through a break up and watching vids... it's pretty cringe so I don't think I shared it anywhere. looks nothing like the lady though

Not the best, but I'm hoping I can eventually improve.

Drew this while on long bus rides yesterday.
No idea which number am I, I just do art most of the time.
Still need to configure drawing while shaving.

>>6630024
Int, love the atmosphere and graphic style but it does flatten things. If you could get the values organized really clearly to give a sense of depth I think it'd help it pop.
>>6633042
Beg, this is really clean but there's some issues with proportions and how you're handling lighting. Close to the next level, though.
>>6634098
Int, your values and brushwork are kind of mushy, but this is still a fine portrait and actually the muddy tones of the face capture a lot of the subject's personality.
>>6634108
Beg, proportions aren't too bad, keep practicing your linework.
>>6634127
Int, but it's a little hard to tell from this piece. Inventive subject, be careful if you're rendering just by smudging stuff all over.

this was fun

didn't receive a lot of feedback on this one but it's still probably my best

post something you actually put full effort into, and the you can be rated accurately. Or are you scared people will rate you down? They will, because we're all bitter anonymous crabs

What we thinkin' bros

>>6643009
Mid int. Great shapes. Could maybe be closer to high int if there was a more polished and/or complete example of your work. That brush in particular doesn't lend itself well to flattering unpolished work in my opinion, but great work anon.

>>6641075
>low beg
nah

>>6643114
3 possibilities here:
>guy who posted art assmad about rating
>guy who rated him higher assmad because my rating might hurt his ego over how developed his artistic eye is (in which case, pyw)
>random assmad because he’s at a similar level and my rating hurts his ego
Third is the least likely.

Working on this one right now.

>>6647176
And this one I made a few days ago

It's not done, but I think its far enough along that you know my level from looking at it. Spent a lot of time on it so far. Easily 30+ hours. If you're going to rip me apart do it quick or gently.

>>6627427
Composition is there, color is there, I'd say forms and value need studying but yeah, this is getting there. high 3 or low 4

>>6627228
Values are clearly done the way I do them. A lot of airbrushing with not a ton of experience on where to put what. Can't say I have experience with this artstyle but it's clearly skilled in what you're going for. 4 or 5.

>>6627892

I have a question. Is there a minimum requirement of skill you need to get first before you judge people? I'm like beg-mid at most so I don't know if I can really criticize well because of my own lack of skills and knowledge.

I think the deactivated accounts get deleted after a certain time period, which I'm sure we are well beyond now. I will look into it. Also I did archive the stuff I did for that account, so I could possibly upload it elsewhere.

Side note, I'm happy to hear that you liked what I did. Thought I was just being annoying with the art spamming/schizoposting and whatnot. Thank you.

>>6652287
I like it, I love the way you handle the hair. I'd try to show more of the structural features, such as the cygomatic (the cheek bone), the different planes of the forehead, the ball of the chin. You could show the skin folds that go from the wings of the nose down to almost the mouth, and the skin folds that cut across the corners of the mouth. Also look into drawing a more realistic set of lips. But again, good work!

low /beg/
>>6651574
low /int/ but great drawing with a lot of thought and time put into it. Somehow it gives me anxiety, it looks like it was very long and stressful to make

>>6653942
it looks good, but there is a ton of anatomy errors,
The hand especially is fucked

And some of the perspective seems warms
>>6654263
Clear skill here, but looks really unappealing - things like drawing every tooth - and no idea what is happening to the hands and head + neck situation
The gun looks rad though

>>6654302
Colours and line work is really appealing even if I don't care for the subject matter
very SOULful
>>6652287

looks gross - nose too big, ear too big, no back of head etc.

looks like you are hiding imperfections behind style, but the style is cool and fun - bonus points for trad, I like it

>>6648968
/beg/ Looks like a kids drawing of what their dad is - muscle formations look terrible - but you tried and that counts for something

imperfections and squidward nose aside - not bad, keep working at it, but again bonus points for trad
>>6647579

as someone who does a lot of commission work I have to tell you that there are two areas in a picture that actually matter to the client: hands and eyes. Everything else can be turbo fucked but if you have good hands and eyes people will pay top dollar. Your hand needs serious work. The eyes are just meh. You have some nice inking, but tighten it up on the hands and eyes and you cuold make some money.

It's gonna take a few days to get everything up though.
