Progress thread?

I was cleaning out my facebook pictures and came across some art i done a few years back, decided to put it together in a mega progress sheet, to see how I've done, thought I'd share it with you guys, would love feed back on my progress! Am I progressing quick enough? Or does it not really work like that?

Yeah, you got a little better at drawing terrible derivative juvenile garbage. The only thing that's missing are stoner abstract doodles. Did you actually decide to start learning how to draw this month? Good, keep at it, and maybe you'll make some progress by the time you're old enough to browse this board.

I was trying to put my portfolio towards a tattoo apprenticeship from mid 2011 which is currently still going, which actually got me a apprenticeship along with the newer things the past few months, cos y'know other people have different taste in art that traditionalism.

Since august ive been in college doing an art based course that has a drawing segment in it and since the start of October I stopped coming on here as much.... Wonder if they're related.

If you find the center of the sphere you may divide it much easier it's one of the techniques found on fun with a pencil. Not only that but it also helps you with perspective.in this case the ellipse is seen below the horizon line.

From the filename I think he's trying to show, that the four points at which the two dividing lines on the sphere intersect the contour will always be at 90 degree angles to each other. Meaning you can basically draw a cross on top of a circle then eyeball some curves between the points where the cross and circle meet, giving you an accurately divided sphere.

Handy for placing the terminator when dealing with lighting spherical forms too.

I recall you in the draw thread. That unfinished image of that woman at the left, eight images to the right, is damned near photo-esque.

I don't mean you've not "progressed", I just mean you've already such a high skill level, and these are so scattered, it's just really hard to tell.

Because the main point of each drawing isn't improvement. It's getting that particular drawing done, for whatever reason.
Improvement is something I strive for, but I find it difficult to draw something just for the sake of getting better, rather than for its own sake. I really need to try and work around that.

You should. Because improvement is fun and very rewarding. It's not 'work' if you really like drawing. Picrelated is my progress over two weeks when I started to learn seriously. And no, the second one, while drawn from a photo, is not just an outline. I did all the anatomy, construction and thought of the skull and muscles. It's not so hard. Just study and read. You can learn all the basics of the head in a few evenings, and then spend a lifetime perfecting it.

You want honest feedback? I like them less and less. You're earlier works are really pretty good.

Great progress man! Can you give a bit of insight into what you did to improve (mostly painting without ref? you have no studies there really)? You seem to suddenly have gotten much better at colour and brushwork at some point during your progress. What do you attribute this to?

Anyways, keep it up, I look forward to seeing how your progress further. Any website or anything btw?

My family is made of "artists" in various domains, even tho I haven't got a heartbreaking talent I still think I could have some interesting ideas in visual arts in general. I go there to see what the "upper main artists" think and what their work look like. I draw, I do 3D and I code but I don't consider myself good at one of these 3 at all. I just want to see some interesting ideas on this forum to get inspired for the future.

You couldn't tell from the level of art in the Draw Threads? Anyways, this thread is mostly filled with fairly beginner people because they can see more improvement from one month to another than a pro will. Also not a lot of people wanna bother going through their artwork and making one of these charts.

>>1588732
That defeats the whole purpose of an anonymous board. The fact that there are no names is good--it means everyone's voice gets equally heard, and people are more willing to say the blunt truth instead of dancing around it and asspatting.

>>1588734
No. A good critique is a good critique, regardless of the level of the person giving it. I find that I get good feedback from both amateurs and pros alike, the critiques often just focus on different things. And it is pretty obvious when I get a bad crit...I just say thank you and then choose to ignore it. Not a big deal.

that's bullshit bub, comments like that are part of the reason art communities are so shit.

protip, just, examine their wording. Stop caring about how well they draw. read what they are seeing. if something is off in their post, kindly ignore it and move on. That should be infinitely more revealing than "let me see YOUR art" "i draw better than him, fuck what he says"

How does it help you, if someone draws better or worse than you? You can easily discern the bare minimum of cuntyness, bullshit and legit critique from a post.

EZEKIELLLL

>>1589086
>>1589199

hah my goodness, let's say it was a long nap, then.

Going off >>1588207, I mean there's the obvious stuff like do lots of studies, sketches, and always be looking for ways that you can improve how you study. Spend half as much time as you do studying remembering what you did study - and another half after that being critical of how you study in the first place. Always try to catch yourself when you feel like you're just copying, or mindlessly painting. Never mindlessly push paint around, you're almost always making your painting worse if you do. The brushwork came with confidence, and the color with numerous studies, as well as - and this might sound strange - a large amount of value studies. A lot of difficulty with color at intermediate levels comes from poor values underlying it all.

However, I don't believe in earnest that any of that advice will truly help you, so I'll give you the best bit of general insight that I know; If you want to improve, find out why you paint, where your true interests lie, and pursue them with diligence. Make your artwork a vehicle for your interests, an extension of them, and make it a natural part of pursuing a greater goal. Find out what keeps your motivation up, why it does, and how you can best take advantage of that. Find out why you admire the artists you do and learn everything that you can from their work; they've already paved the way for you, you just have to look hard enough.

>>1589409

Never do a study or a painting that doesn't have a purpose, and never do any work that's besides the point; if you're studying value relationships then who care's about accurate drawing, or color? You're trying to learn about value, don't worry about anything else. Don't be afraid to see yourself put out unaesthetic work, it's your first steps to improvement no matter which aspect of painting you're beginning to approach; but never put out poor work - thoughtless, mindless, or purposeless work.

Be mindful of things you avoid because they're difficult and things you avoid because you simply don't care, a lot of people seem to be able to confuse the two for the sake of convenience. Also, don't worry about style, or how loosely you paint - those come with time and confidence and you cannot fake it without harming your development.

Lastly, just don't give up. If doors are closed to you right now it means that you just have to practice more - and that's just about dedication, which you have complete control over.

There's a whole bunch more, but I'll be typing all night and should probably try to get some rest for tomorrow. If I covered anything too vaguely or just said something irredeemably stupid then ask me about it on tumblr, or something, and I'll see if I can't respond as soon as I can.

Happy painting :]

you have improved but your excuses are lame dear,
just because you don't like traditionalism does not mean you should bottleneck you skills into vapid concepts like celebrities, sexxxxy women portraits, and overdone tattoo requests

I just think if you keep that mindset forever you'll continue polishing turds and sure, land a job as a tattoo artist, but you will hit a plateau then stay mediocre forever -- assuming the work you posted in original jpg is full of "completed" works, anyways.

Something that really makes me cringe is an old, worn out tattoo artist whose gallery looks like a 15-year old's. Don't be that chick. Keep practicing forever and go outside of your comfort zone (i.e. traditionalism or whatever isn't your "taste").

well, your first line of drawings are all really interesting and look nice and solid and then over time it seems like your subject matter just took a turn for the worse.
you go from drawing some really cool shit to like a shirtless gay man and some under-defined organs and just some generic looking shit

the early stuff looks fantastic though, maybe get back closer to your roots or something?

Could you expand on that? I'm far from good but I think it would be an stretch to consider my former works as better than my recent ones.

>>1589936
Thanks and as for the patience, well besides not having enough time for drawing I only "finish" a piece until I'm really satisfied with it.

Speaking of which I just noticed that I used older versions for Rin and bazooka girl :/

I have a question about how much drawing in odd or cartoony styles like My Little Pony would affect your overall art style and what ever?

Well would it? From what I have seen some people draw solely from MLP and get good at that but I don't see anything else from them, but their art is good none the less.

Decided to keep mine short to avoid boring you all.

You won't actually learn anything so it won't affect anything.
At best you'll be able to draw the flat symbol of the character from memory, but unless you actually start studying you won't be able to turn them around and articulate them like the show's animators and illustrators do.
Or at least I assume they do, I haven't seen the show so I don't know if the animation is actually any good or not

I know how you feel, man. I hate drawing from photos, especially if they're just on screen
I've found that most of the community-centre type classes tend to be hard to find out about. They usually don't advertise online because most of the people who go are bored middle aged ladies, but if that's all you can get then you're better off going.
If you live somewhere big enough to have a mall then there will probably be one somewhere.
Don't expect to be taught anything though. Just read the books and try to apply what you've read about when you get there.

Also I've found that at those sorts of classes, the poses are always super long, and I run out of things to do after about half an hour

Not >>1593210, but I tried life drawing sessions(10 min sketches) too. The result was worse than from photos at home. I got lost into details or just did very fast Vilppu-style gestures. Maybe I should drop this business? Also, at the end of session the instuctor gives some small critiques, but, of course, I would like to hear more useful things and advice. So, what questions would be wise to ask?

plus there's such a huge disparity between stuff i doodle out in 15 minutes and stuff i work on for weeks. some of my "old" work looks alot better than some of my most recent... would lead to quite a bit of confusion i think. or i could cherry pick and make my progress look mindblowing... equally silly.
