>>6959521
Here, posting more of my work so you can get a general idea. I've pretty much only drawn on and off for the last 3 years (despite telling myself to "I'll take it seriously now I swear" and then stopping after a week and getting back to old habits) and feel like I've built plenty of bad habits that are stuck within me.
In fact, I'd say disciple is the thing I lacked the most, especially back then when I was even more immature than I am now.

>>6959528
Other than that, I also realized that composition and energy is something I'm legitimately poor at as well.
I do know that my art could get pretty unique and interesting as soon as I keep evolving it and start study technical aspects often and everyday, but the amount of technical aspects I'll have to grind before getting a satisfying result to my eyes is not small at all.
Any other drawers sharing my pain?

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE!

>>6959527
Yeah, I want to actually have a serious discourse this time without ending up in memes and crabbing though.
Especially considering thst a few pros and advanced artists do lurk here and there.

>>6959534
let’s wait and see

>>6959521
>I'm not exactly a full blown beginner
Yes, you are and until you learn humility you are not going to improve.

>>6959521
I like you Gabe

>>6959534
Fuck off, Gabe. It's not a meme. We really want you gone forever.

>>6959521
Gabe stop being an attention-whore, it's not a good thing!

bitch ass Gabe the schlub

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE!

>>6959527
fuck off gabe

You will grow as an artist when you stop admiring soulless inbred Japanese artists! Observe reality, observe yourself. That's all you need.

Replicating 'parodic' traditions only delays your self-understanding. The true expression is holistic, there are no 'styles'...

>>6959521
>insecure

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE!

>>6959521
if something like peppa pig and dora the explorer could become popular, your current art skill is beyond overqualified to make a comic with. If the artist of whomp! could have some success with his art skill so can you if you can craft some funny stories, your skills looks a bit above his.

>>6960625
But MUH PERMABEG????

>>6960702
go and take a look at his comic yourself, can you say with a straight face that this looks professional?
https://www.whompcomic.com/comic/06152010

if this was enough for him to gain an audience, then your art is more then enough.

>>6960727
and muh NGMI????

>>6960772
Try you luck, make a Web comic and see how it goes.

>>6959534
>I want to actually have a serious discourse this time
>Especially considering thst a few pros and advanced artists do lurk here and there.
You ignore my advice every single time I give it. I'm not reading your fucking wall of tears yet again just because THIS time you want to have a "serious discourse". Maybe if you were making those threads just to ignore them and waste the time of the people genuinely trying to help you you should have said so in the OPs.
My advice remains the same. Go make your comic. Stop wasting your time here, stop scrolling twitter. Stop the desperate attention-seeking. Just make your fucking thing instead of whining about it.

>>6959527
Wait Gabe Newell is posting on IC!?!

>>6959521
Your linework is better than mine and I have 110k on twitter so far, you're gonna make it if you post almost everyday.

>>6959521
There are people who are really, really good and still very insecure about their work. I think if you ever, truly, get to place where you aren't insecure about your work, even in the slightest, then you are at risk for stagnating.

>>6959527
Fuck off Gabe

>>6959527
FUCK YOU GABE!!!

WHAT HE DO?

>>6959521
Did you rip the face style off that faggot who only draws one blond girl?

>>6963625
He smile in your face, always trying to take your place. The backstabbers

>>6963624
No he didn’t, oh my god.

Gabe The Lame.

>>6959528
have you even rendered yet

the schlub

>>6963624
You may say it as a joke, but putting a lot of effort on getting the face of a character as faithful to the source material is a good thing to do when it comes to fanarts because it allows you to get closer to the character's original vibe. And his attempt at it was quite solid here, not a full recreation, but quite faithful.
>that faggot who only draws one blond girl?
As if that was a bad thing.

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE!

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE

>>6959528
God I want to bury my face in that muscular horsepussy

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE!

>>6963721
Not really interested in mastering rendering. My first very long term goal is specifically getting significantly better at core drawing fundamentals like figures, motion and character designs and mostly producing B&W drawings with screentoned shadows.
One thing I particularly hate about my average piece is how simplistic and symbol like it is even if the lineart is competent. I'm craving form alongside a significantly added amount of line detailing and better shapes. Pic related.
>>6963624
I mean, it's a fan art of it's character so.

Posting doodles and sketches now, all from the last few days

Quick doodling

I also draw stuff like this in a few minutes on a small scale before going to sleep to keep my hand trained.

I got to give it to Gabe.
For as much as he is told to fuck off (which is quite a lot), he doesnt, he simply continues to be, that is a sign of high mental strength... or autism, one of the two.
I do agree you have to spend less time around here, it would be good for you, but by all means, continue to come by, dont give this faggots what they want, dont let them win over you.

NEVER FUCK OFF, GABE!

>>6959527
Fuck off Gabe

>OP comes back to the thread just to blatantly ignore the actual advice given already
Classic fucking Gabe.

(sage) Let this thread die with dignity. Reviving your own threads is pathetic...

Gabe I'm gonna give you some advice that's gonna improve your skills like mad.

Life drawing. Do it. Learn how to draw regular looking humans. I know you wanna draw anime girls, but get this: Anime is just a style! Eastern style, western style...these are all styles based off of realism!

If you can master realistic humans, you'll be infinitely better at anime girls!

>>6959527

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE!!!!

>>6963624
there was a thread where he showed his room, if anyone has it saved please post it

>>6968782
how long

>>6969694
Who? Gabe or the other guy mentioned?

>>6966509
>lineart is competent
it's not

>>6969711
the other guy, his room was very... interesting

>>6969713
how

>>6969694
>he showed his room
What was it like

Are you guys talking about that Mexican schizo that has a blonde cat eyed OC which he made a cardboard cut out of placed in the middle of his room with a bunch of other drawings taped onto the walls? He legit scares me.

>>6969713
Competent lineart alone doesn't equal to amount of detailing or looking competent im general though.
Just compare literally anything I've posted in this thread to this random piece from my twitter timeline to understand what I mean by "my art is too simplistic".

>>6959527
fuck off gabe

>>6969739
yup, tried to find the thread but I couldn't

>>6970004
What year did this happen?

>>6959527
FUCK OFF GABE!

>>6970004
I remember that thread, I think I may have saved the pictures he posted of his room somewhere. If it helps I may have posted a comment saying "God I wish that were me" or I wish that were my room, I wish I had that same devotion or mental illness or something along those lines.

>>6969694
>>6969739
>>6970004
>>6970212
is this it? >>/ic/thread/6134499#p6157970
someone else post the image I’m not saving it

>>6970266
Yeah same guy but I remember seeing that cardboard cutout in the middle of another room. He may have posted that other picture on a different board. Now where the hell did I see him?

>>6970266
yup same picture, I saw it here though
>>6392642

>>6959521

>>6970294
Is this how /ic/ picks up bussy?

>>6969804
You only draw in three values(Black, white, gray). Try bump it up to five values and add shadow. This may help
>>6970261

>>6970266
>>6970277
This motherfucker made a real-size cardboard cutout of her blondie, not only that, he carried it outside, placed it in the walkway and took a picture of it in the most photographically amateurish way possible.

This guy is an absolute madlad and I will never be able to articulate how much respect, pride and admiration I have for this man. One can only dream to be this BASED.

>>6970492
the pic in question

>>6970494
so he either repainted the face or he has multiple cardboard cutouts

>>6969694
>>6970266
>>6970494
Not the guy I meant. I meant the graphic designer guy who digitally only draws one blonde character. Her name is peach or soemthing.

>>6970494
ngl this pic could be a piece of art

>>6970544
You mean this guy >>6952397 right? I do believe he's a different dude from the scary room one unless i'm mistaken. They do both have a blonde girl for an OC I suppose.

>>6970603
There are at least three different guys who autistically draw their blonde OC so I understand the confusion

>>6970630
There's a third one?

>>6970634
Yeah the third guy’s blonde OC has blunt bangs and a ponytail. He also draws digitally.

>tfw there's at least three (3) blondie schizos posting on the very same board
What a time to be part of this cesspit of a board keeeeek

>>6970750
"Schizo" does not mean "recognizable poster", anon.

>>6970755
And who said it did? kek
If you want to be picky with words, I guess "autists" is more appropriate, all things considered.

>>6970766
Because I see nothing schizophrenic or autistic about any of these people. They post their drawings, that's pretty much it. One guy has a funny room setup. So what?

>>6959527
fuck off gabe

The schlub

>>6963721
this shit is so much fucking work. It takes me hours to figure out how to shade a cylinder, I can't immediately see where the shadows are supposed to go. I need to brute force it and keep trying and erasing over and over until it looks alright.

>>6970904
Standard colors for sodium street lighting and a cloudy day near dusk. When was the last time you touched grass, holy shit.

>>6973259
he’s a fucking schlub for real

>>6970750
Georgia? the scary room anon named their OC after a state?

>>6959521
You got nothing to be insecure about imo. I love your art!

Honestly it's rare that a piece of art gets 200+ likes if it isn't good. (Yeah it happens sometimes I really don't believe your art falls into that category)

>>6959527
>42 posters
>103 posts
Somebody's samefagging.

>>6959528
Nice. I feel like it'd really pop with some line weight.

>>6973820
I dont know what that is supposed to mean, or who you are talking to, but Im going to take it as a compliment kek.
>>6973824
Seems logical, these replies started feeling unnatural a while ago. It wouldnt be surprising that Gabe had a dedicated schizo (or several) hating on him for reasons beyond our comprehension (as in, retarded).
>>6973668
"Georgia" is a common name for women, it comes from greek, it's not exclusive to murica.
Also funny you're asking for the most common name of the three, not the one that is named over a dessert, or the one named over an art movement kek.

>>6973912
that is his art so yes id say it is a compliment

>>6970544
>>6970603
Something about this guys character, art, and how he talks just drives me up an absolute fucking wall. It has this bizarre infantile air to it that gives me the creeps on a physical visceral level.
At least other weirdos here that spam there shit everywhere I can sort of understand even if I don't like what they draw.

>>6973912
>Also funny you're asking for the most common name of the three, not the one that is named over a dessert, or the one named over an art movement kek.
I thought people gave their OC funny sounding names to make them stand out and be memorable. Not giving them name that is bland or generic, like naming your OC tom, bob, car, pot or bavaria.

>>6969708
What do you mean, "how long"? You just keep doing it! Consider it regular exercise for your art muscles! Work on your realism, and then draw some anime girls while applying what you've learned! Continue this cycle until the end of time and watch your skills skyrocket!

>>6973994
Not the only one for me. Theres been a lot of bad art getting posted thats almost purposefully the most infuriating shit youve ever seen. Beg thread too.

If I understand right, the Bal one is the original? Cause I remember this blondie and the one iteration with the big ass bow, I honestly adore her. Are you at least drawing Bal often? I'd hate to not see her around anymore desu.
>>6979857
If it annoys you that much, you can report it for not posting their own work. I already did.

>>6979879
yup

>>6959521

>>6966519
I like this. You are skilled, but the problem is that your art style doesn't have much appeal

>>6983225

wish he wasn't a pedo but c'est la vie

>>6959521
> release the first chapter of my attempt at a comic ...between 2025 and 2027
don't wait that long, you should start something now, even if its short simple, between 3-10 page of self contained stories.

There is a world of skills that you need to developed to draw comic and you don't actually know what you lack until you start.

>>6960164
>attention-whore, it's not a good thing!
I disagree, it is an survival instinct of an artist. While it is true that there are appropriate and inappropriate circumstances to try to self promote, it is a necessity to be able to proactively do it because artist trade in attention economy.

I have been a 4channer for a long time, and I understand that this is against the ethos of the prevailing culture, however, for the purpose of /ic/ and its focus on making it in the trade, most are being too shy about sharing their work. Nevertheless it is understandable that they have trouble doing so because its difficult to assess the credibility of often abrasive comments made towards an individual. Being identifiable really make you become the focal points for all sorts of vitriol sometimes and not everybody have an easy time navigating that, I know I don't.

>>6970750
this is really cute, I like it a lot.

>>6983429
He made VN about his OC? Did he post on itch.io?

Georgia is also a country in Europe in the Caucasus mountain region. But yes, it also happens to be a common name. There was a well known painter from early 20th century named Georgia O’Keeffe. She was mostly known for painting close ups of flowers, southwestern landscapes and/or cow skulls.
