Noticeable improvement. Keep at it and don't give up. Don't neglect fundamentals just because you're happy with how a recent piece turned out. If you can improve this much in a year, just think how good you can be in three years if you keep practicing.

I know making fun of people is fun, but everyone deserves a little encouragement every now and then.

[Anonymous No.3513550]

>>3513533
Not him, but that is in no way an encouragement. You're doing exactly the opposite by enabling him to continue drawing animay when clearly he does not have the fundamentals necessary to pull it off.

Instead of "encouragement" how about telling him the way it is and directing him to the fucking sticky? You're only encouraging him to continue making the same mistake it is clear that he's been doing the same mistakes comparing it from his old drawing since absolutely nothing's changed. Moreover it is evident that this is not the first time he's been enabled by faggots like you who go around playing buttgrab with others to make you feel funny in the pants and get a couple of (you)'s in return. kys.

encouragement =/= blatant lies
I mean, even the guy posting the pics must have realized he did not improve noticeably in that year. Of course he never claimed he was trying his hardest to improve, but the fact is there. Is it really okay to encourage lazyness?

Yes, it literally is an encouragement

I mean the first one looks like he drew it with a mouse in MS paint lmao. Second one looks like he at least got a drawing tablet and learned how to use photoshop or sai or whatever, so technically that is an improvement... though I still wouldn't even rate it a 1 out of 10

>>3513556
yeah but you made it sound like he got way better when all he did was get smoother lines in the software and add some airbrush instead of hard brushes lol. I'm all for encouragement but you need to emphasize the part that tells people to keep practicing instead of inflating their ego

It's from about 18 years ago. I found it on the back of some notes from a class I was in. Isn't it funny how being bored while equipped with pencil and paper can lead to productivity?

I was working on a re-draw about three weeks ago, but never got any further than this pencil sketch.

>You know anon, not judging you or anything; but you could improve a lot in a very short time if you put some time and dedication to it.

I bet I could, but there's a lot going on in my life, and almost all of it - family, job, even house maintenance - is simply more important than improving my art. Thus, drawing is limited to a sort of "back burner" status while I tackle the bigger things on a daily basis.

Still trying to set aside at least 30 minutes a day for art, though.

[Anonymous No.3515603]

>>3515437
>30 minutes
Want to actually get good? I recommend getting up early. Like say you normally get up at 9? Get up at 6. Believe it or not, this works wonders. I find I'm somehow more focused and productive in the morning, and not only that, but when I get up early, I'm more productive throughout the day.
