Adding on to that, if youre talking how its /ic/ related: Its not really, some guys over on /tg/ decided they need more free art to look at while they waste there lives away consuming content that gets generated slower then molasses. The person who made this thread is not an artist, its just some guy who wants free art and has been getting it for 64 threads.

>the person that made this thread is not an artist

I don't know about the current OP but you're at least half right about me. I try but I'm not a good artist-I haven't made it yet, might not ever. My progress has admittedly been dreadful if there's been any at all and I have only myself to blame for that, same as anyone else in my position.

I made this thread initially because I thought the designs were cute, there were a lot of them and because they were made by a fellow 4chan user. An evolution of the "draw your own wizard" mspaint roll thread. I thought having something to participate in would benefit myself and others, and I'd always stressed that the drawing could be more about the concept than their representation on the image.

Ultimately I ended up spending a lot of time critiquing almost all the pieces submitted, but very rarely participated myself, and the point in my maintaining the thread had become muddled as consequence. That went on for about three years, and after deciding it was time for the thread to evolve (I used my ability to insert OC characters into the image as a metric for my own progress) I became frustrated with my predictable stagnation and abandoned it, and to a large degree /ic/ as well. Though in fact, I had little reason to leave. Critiquing took little time, and one of my biggest problems remains the fact that I'm so gun shy about finishing anything and accepting the consequences for it. I could still find the value I'd originally sought in this thread if only I'd start using it as I'd intended from the beginning.

tl;dr - I'm sorry lads, I've failed you and I'd failed myself, but this thread is pure! Thank you for keeping it alive this whole time.

That's because you lack drive, it shows when you spend all your time generating content for someone else. I'm sure you didn't wake up one day as a kid and go "I'm going to get into drawing so I can get (you)s making CYOA fanart!", you need to tap into what ever motivated you to draw in the 1st place. If you never had any motivation to draw in the 1st place then you're NGMI until you find a purpose. Good luck anon I believe in you.

>you need to tap into what ever motivated you to draw in the 1st place

i wanted to draw at first because i wanted to be better than this girl in my middle school. she was the class "artist" even though all she drew was shit anime.

well i'm better than her now because she stopped drawing after high school, what now? i didn't want to be better than EVERYONE else, just her, because i had a crush on her and really wanted to impress her. but now she's way out of my life since it's been more than a decade since the end of my highschool life.

i think your first reason isn't really all that important.

I appreciate the advice, you're right.

I have a good idea about what I want to do but the road to get there has been a self-imposed slog and I tend to let my frustrations get the better of me, making the problems exponential in nature. To be honest this thread was/is the least of my problems if it even was one to begin with; critiquing stuff (without punching above my weight) helped me retain a lot of the information I'd read in books and helped inform my own work when I'd bother to make it.

However, in the end anything you read is just trivia until you start drawing, and that's where I'd been very "on and off" for many years. I know myself better than to say that "today is the day" that I completely change my behavior that'd I'd developed over many years (I'd said those words many times before), but maybe if I just take small steps in the right direction I can reverse course before my regrets pile up even higher.

Cute. At first I was given the impression by those wrapping lines and the cylindrical shape they create that the humeral portion of her arm was emerging from behind the contour of her body too low (almost like she had a third joint apart from her shoulder and elbow), but even after posing for myself in a camera I guess I'm not really sure, sorry!

There does appear to be a very slight discrepancy between the overall volume of her arms, with the arm on our right appearing slightly thicker and vice versa-and with perhaps the opposite being the case with the forearms.

The knuckles on her kunai hand are at an unaturally low angle; one thing that might help if you're using a windows laptop with a webcom is to hit the windows button, type in camera and hit enter to give yourself an immediate reference.

>>3513600
Sexy, I find the thickness of the lines appealing, but it has also led to a few line tangents between the ears, bangs of the hair and eyes. There is a bit of asymmetry between both ears and eyes as well and it's kind of hard to tell if it's a (very slight) mistake or if you're actually suggesting a subtle angle.

One thing that might help suggest a subtle tilt of an otherwise straight on head in this instance would be to show a bit more of the medial plane of her ear on the side she's supposedly turning towards.

Good stuff keep it up

>> No.3513785

>>3513601

Not that guy, I think it's fine to change your reason you're motivated to draw, but it should be a good reason. Tapping into the first reason often works but not always (like in your case). Generally I think having the motive be 'impress x person' or 'surpass x person' is a bad reason to pick up any skill, but to each their own.

Did you reevaluate the reasons you draw, or are you just stuck in the momentum you started in your quest to 1up a middleschooler?

>10 decades of art

When was this ever implied? Also you realize that if 10+ years have passed since you started drawing and you haven't improved at all its because youre not even motivated to draw. I garantee that you improved the most in rhe 2-3 of highschool when you had a clear goal that motivated you. Now out of high school 10 years later with no motivation you have done jack shit. You're not ngmi because you were incapable you're ngmi because the reason you started drawing in the first place was retarded and short lived .

>>3518178
The figure isn’t the most glaring problem through it’s the oversaturated colors, it just looks like a coloring book. The concept is interesting to me (slime girl coming from well) but the colors you chose for your environment are just the opposite of comfy. In something that brightly light she would also probably be reflecting a lot more of the environments colors on her “skin” and be more translucent.

My tip for drawing appealing girls is to practice drawing appealing girls from pictures

Yeah now that I look at it, I get what you mean about reflections - I'll try to keep it in mind next time.
As for the oversaturated colours - I was going for a cartoony, playful style; I was hoping to achieve something like on pic related.
But if you feel that "colors you chose (...) are just the opposite of comfy", then obviously I've overdid it.

>> No.3518275

>>3518270
I see what you mean yeah. saturated colors are hard to work with though its really easy to go garish instead of comfy cartoony. I think if you had a real light source in your piece it would help in taking away the "coloring book" feel. right now everything is flat and mostly colored with their local color vs the picture you posted which are saturated, but most of their saturation is defined by much more neutral colors in their shadows
