/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Well, you could aim for improving your craft, polishing your art style and further improving on fundies, or you could try and appease to a specific niche/community of your liking and further increase your followers/clients. You could also try and find your muse, that one character you autistically obsess with that becomes the protagonist of 90% of your draws.

...Or you could just focus on drawing for the fun of it until something hits you and you go back to the grinding.

Aim for becoming at least as good as your inspirations. Your drawing tells me you're still an early beginner. You have lots of room to grow. Become so good that people would choose to commission you over those you look up to.

>>6913816
>Aim for becoming at least as good as your inspirations
This is solid. Often we lose sight of our original motivations and just drift.

>>6913801
>Now I don't know what to aim for
Make art that will stand the test of time.

>>6913801
Try making something good.
How did you manage to settle for this shit?

>>6913809
is finding a muse something you can actively do?

>>6913801
>This shit gets 1k followers and many commissions
This is why I roll my eyes every time some faggot denies nsfw being easy mode

>>6913801
you aimed too low, youre overestimating how hard is to draw. sounds like youre kinda of a pussy at life anon

>>6913801
What is up with that dog snout face? And why is her eye the width of a palm? Is she an alien?
Or did you get that from those chinese amene or whatever its called..?
Learn to draw a proper face.

>>6914157
>my stylization is better than your stylization

>>6914157

>>6914165
quite literally

OP don't listen to that other boomer asshole! I think he is just trying to mock you and be racist or something.

In fact, I think you are doing great! Go for that style and push it even more! Push those forms!
GMI anon!!!

>>6914157
>>6914189
Both of you shut the fuck up. You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. What it needs is RENDERING. He didn't render his image properly, thus it has no proper 3D FORMS. The anime style is fine. It just needs 3D forms and lighting.

>>6914157
>>6914189
>>6914220
what causes this type of response to some posts, but not others? is it OP’s hubris?

Don't listen to the others trying to crab you, it's your colors that could be improved.
Remember, high saturation in focal point (face)

Ugly westoid crap from a dysgenic subhuman ZOG mutt.

ooof.

>>6913801
If you already know how to draw well, aim to draw faster

>>6913809
Well I kinda do have my muse with the rigth character on the Pic, but I could always go further beyond with her, that is true
And honestly I do have fun drawing, I just don't like to be aimless, this does sound like solid advice too, thank you!

>>6913816
A quite the tall order to achieve there, I think that's good forma long term goal
Thank you

>>6913842
Now that sounds like something that will take me years, sounds fun!

>>6913864
I make like that pokemon that doesn't notice the enemy pokemon buffing itself, just ignore that paralyzing fear

>>6914157

>>6914157
i love /ic/

>>6914927
>just ignore that paralyzing fear
Wise words. Too bad it conquered me long ago.

>>6914157
>tranny face
This is bait.

>>6914157
This is genuinely good, but you gotta know your audience. People who find OP's work sexy are NOT gonna like a stylized depiction from your work.

>>6914157
>LEFT
average obvious stylized face
>RIGHT
ITS A FUCKING MAN

>>6914157
>>6914189

I fucking hate /ic/ so much. You're all a bunch faggots who don't know what you're talking about. OP what you need is GESTURE. Observe and take notes.

>>6914157

>>6914157
LMAO

>>6913801
Dream bigger

>>6914157
ok, you made me laugh, good post Anon

>>6915370
Kek

>>6913801
>this guy gets commisions
jesus christ I should start doing some too, I get the requests but im always worried I wont be good enough but if this quality is good enough for people im well past that

>>6916154
I'm pretty sure that he either:
a) lies on the internet
or b) does "commissions" for his family and close friends who hire him out of pity
or c) he's pretending to be a girl

>>6914923
Don't forget to get started on educating yourself about art history. It's necessary.

>>6913801
the least you could do is remove the scribbly lines and start shading bro

>>6914157
Lmao, I can hear the Yoooo sounds effect from this
Thank you, i was doubtful when I got recommended this place for art critique but I'm having a great time shogun

>>6914123
I don't know if sfw it's easier or not, I think if you have the same issues in both sizes nomone will follow you either way

>>6914124
Bitch I might be!

>>6914189
Thank you I will!

>>6914220
Well it's a flat color sketch, but excuses are for losers...and I also need to improve my rendering too

>>6914244
This ismactually good advice once I process it, thanks!

>>6914667
Honestly I'm pretty confident in my speed too, but thenfact I could be better makes me eager to draw, thank you!

>>6915114
I dunno, I heard this was pretty popular from Edo to Heyian period

>>6915303
What I understood is I gotta break some spines, thank you!

>>6915990
Ima need more then that chief

>>6916154
Honestly empty your mind and just do it, worse case scenario you get scammed/return the money/ learn from faceplanting
At the end kfnthe day you tend to regret what you don't do more then what you do in stuff like this

>>6916176
OK 4 things:
1. I'm not lying (source; trust me dog)
2. I can't make comms for my family,mi only do nsfw and I would end my self if they found out, and no friend knows either
3. Isn't this what nyanrcha did with his/her selfsona?
4. I like turtles

>>6916250
Any place you recommend starting? Cause honestly I always saw cavemen were into some dope shit

>>6916353
I mean I could but I didn't want to to be honest
I had better works in my oc but this was this was first in the queue

>>6916842
Honestly, you should start by covering your base with something as simple as https://www.youtube.com/@GreatArtExplained
Familiarize yourself with art movements, find stuff you like, discover more artists, do some studies, find your own style etc.

>>6916854
Honestly I do have a number of artist I admire a lot, but as Uncle Iroh said, knowledge you get from only one source gets stale
And now I can brag I know about something aside from hentai and manga art (I mean as soon as i watch some of the videos) thanks my dude!

>>6916898
OK it looks pretty dope but why did you toast the rigth one's skin? She kinda looks like Starfire now and that is pretty hot but still
Either way nice work! Your style has a lot of personality! If I ever get to redraw the sketch I'll use this as reference! Thank you!

>Now I don't know what to aim for
Drawing something that is actually good instead of the crap you posted?
Sorry for breaking it up to you, but this is what is actual hard mode, not something as trivial as getting commissioned for drawing porn kek.

>>6920144
What the heck are you on? I'm still doing porn I just asked for what to aim now in the same area

Get that weak ass bait somewhere else

>>6916909
shut up, castizas are godtier

>>6914157
I genuinely don't know how anybody could find the left appealing. Like, do people not know how a face looks like?

>>6913801
Set a new goal. More followers or whatever, blah blah blah
Even better, try coming up with a project to work towards - making an artbook, a videogame, a comic, an illustrated story, so on and so forth.

>>6914220

>>6914189
ffs anon
sure the Akebi anime could be much better with the faces, but everything else was quite decent, ok?

Don't die on me thread!

>>6923129
You're still looking for goals? Here's some
>Improve speed while maintaining quality
>Develop your crosshatch shading
>Develop dynamic poses
>Develop your cell shading
>Line variation
