It is in the sense that people will immediately know if something is of pro level. You're not going to say. "That's expert level" or "That's master level" because that's a big ass claim.

You did this by copy so I can't offer suggestions but one big mistake is that you are drawing outlines for things such as the lips, that's actual symbol drawing. You should treat the thing you are copying as an abstract object, you don't draw "the lips", you draw shapes and values.

Sure, here's a still. I'm still picking up my drawing pieces after a small break but animation comes way easier to me.

>>3868666

Yeah, doing life studies is important for getting the shapes of animations to that good good finesse level. It's already improved how I draw them by a huge margin. A good bit of it is also grasping the "3D" space within which characters will inhabit and move around. It's improved my grasp of cartoon limbs especially, because faces are emotion vehicles, so you construct them as such.

>> No.3868673

>>3868660
oh anon, this is very stiff and lifeless. In terms of both design and pose.You're low beg and doing more studies you could get to mid beg quickly. If you're going to be an animator you should be aiming for gestures and more expression.Do figure drawings and also exaggerate the poses. If you're going for stiff then at least get an interesting character stance.

>> No.3868677

>>3868670
Yeah but you should do life studies by construction, not by copy. You should draw portraits by starting with a ball and cross and volumes, gesture lines for full bodies, and such. What is your resource for life drawing? I suggest Bridgman, he's really dynamic. Or at least watch Vilppu, his course was originally aimed at animators and he taught at Disney.

>> No.3868679

>>3868673

Yeah, I can see why you would say that. It is supposed to be a relatively underexpressed character, but I am definitely struggling with poses, although when the characters move, it's not as rough, although a lot of it is the laws of animation covering my ass.

I've improved since that still (about a month or two ago) in my posing, but yeah, posing is still an issue.

I say put animation aside for the time being. You're in a phase where you should jog 1 mile, not climb Mt Everest. Learn to draw basic volumes, draw cartoon animals from the Preston Blair book, those are very simple to draw. Learn basic perspective up to 2 point so you have an idea of how things work in space. Learn to cut a sphere with ellipses. Once you have a good grasp of that you start doing life drawing, by construction with a method like Brigdman. And you have to exaggerate the poses, "push" stuff. Once you learn how to draw a basic cartoon animal and you're comfortable with its volumes you will be much more at ease learning actual anatomy and stuff.

Mid tier intermediate. Some times low tier if i'm not felling but I end up drawing anyway and almost high tier if I put more then 4 hours in one drawing...I think, but I never do that so is the same as nothing.

I also think depends what i'm trying to do, I never land in one shit, i'm always changing the style, technique or color palette I'm using, but I really dont master most of then so it can look wonky as hell.

You really gotta tighten up your shapes, man. It might help you to try and narrow your value range to only white/grey/black or even just white/black so you're forced to think more about what the exact shapes of the values are. Right now your shapes are blurry and unclear, and you may be using it as a crutch instead of actually trying to examine and copy the shapes accurately.

You lie to yourself if you really believe that's intermediate. You're tricking your own mind into thinking that you're proficient in drawing because you can pull off drawings that don't look atrocious quickly, but there are countless wrong things in what you drew. Your understanding of drapery is terrible and it's insulting how you don't even put effort into actually making it look good to the best of your abilities. Also, you need more gesture studies.

They're appealing but they're weak from a fundamentals standpoint. Most of your drawings seem to be front shots of cute girls with intricately rendered dresses in unspecific lighting. My advice would be to implement perspective, interesting poses and more realistic lighting and drapery. The drawings will fall apart because you can't rely on symbols anymore, but it's better to do it now and just fix it instead of having a crisis later when you want to draw something new and realize you can't.

Low-mid tier intermediate, but I think you'll get into mid and even high tier pretty quickly.
You seem to understand edges pretty well, but kinda get sloppy with them.
Your color choices could also use some work.

Lost tier intermediate.
mid-high tier in certain areas, low tier in others.
Pretty easy to see the difference in confidence when it comes to your faces versus bodies.
It can be rough when you can do certain things on pure intuition and other areas are a complete mess.
Address your weaknesses, get your mileage up on bodies, make it a habit to use reference.
Start closing the gap before it gets any wider.

Your problem is that you're inconsistent, you do too much different stuff so your quality swings from high intermediate to high /beg/. And people will judge your portfolio by your worst work, so you end up looking like a /beg/ when you're clearly not.
You also shift way too much thematically which is also a problem of mine, you have monster girls, cartoony stuff, concept art, semi-abstract, landscapes in oil, too much stuff together. You should do that "brand" thing and focus on doing one thing done really well or at least have some vague common theme in your pictures. You can also experiment but do it in private, don't put your oil landscape in a portfolio it will make you look unfocused.

Thanks anon, I needed to hear this. My body shapes have less expression than my faces, and while I've never accidentally drawn 6 fingers, I do mess up on simple mistakes like drawing baby hands on adults (pic related).

I disagree that I'm in the intermediate tiers at all as there are still so much fundamentals to learn.. like the body itself.

>Address your weaknesses, get your mileage up on bodies, make it a habit to use reference.

I was thinking the same as >>3869650 because of the way you shaped the face and gave it a familiar facial expression of warmth that people can relate to - similar to how furries and disney animators give animals clear emotions to help their audience relate. It's a very good drawing and I'd also put you in the intermediate category. Maybe mid?

And while I suffer from the same problem I just wanted to say is on purpose and with an objective in mind,.I think the only thing holding me back right now from breaking through high tier interdimented is the incosistence in my work, finishing and some artstyles that i'm still studying and learning. I think if I focused in only one I could easily break through high tier somewhat soon but not with a price to pay.
Having a methodological process in your creations really is important since it allows you more reliable know what you are doing and have a easier time making everything more uniform and appelliang, but there is a catch.

Being to relying on your process can make you stagnated on your actual growth, since you never leave your comfort zone in the technical aspect and in the future being really hard to break through professional levels because you limited library of styles and visual keys, at least how I see it.
Imagine being the best at drawing cute girls, but only cute girls and the rest kinda sucking ass, being really noticeable the difference between those skills and really limiting what you can create.

I experiment a lot and do a lot of things because in the long game i think will allow me to have much more freedom in the creative process, probably will take me a little longer to finally achieve high tier intermediated but I hope I will have a easier time in the professional levels.

And I said since I think everything past low professional levels can be really subjective, the only objective way of knowing or showing how good you really are is with variety in your art and true control of all fundamentals.

Everyone says they're intermediate because people with Dunning Kruger don't want to admit they're /beg/, and people who are actually talented don't want to over estimate themselves and look like an asshole.
You're low intermediate imho, its hard to evaluate this because of how much the halftone style obscures everything.

That said, maybe people could put together lists of art here they consider to be representative of each tier, so people have a better idea of what each tier actually is.

I think it's just difficult to judge where intermediate begins and ends, too. What really separates high beg from low int and high int from low pro? I feel like the things that come to mind (fluidity of gesture, use of color) could vary wildly from picture to picture by a single artist.

Mid/High intermediate and already professional. I had literally saved that pic when you posted it and talked about it on some thread, saying it's a soft style I aim for. So your work is good enough to be the endgame of other people, that can be sold and praised already. Of course, I see it's nothing too complex by itself, but your appeal is maximum.

Anime isn't intrinsically bad but it's easy to tell when an anime artist can't even into form at all. If they draw by placing "mouth and eye" symbols onto a "head shape" with like 3 different perspectives in their belt, it's usually immediately obvious.

I used to be there, took a long time to stop taking "draw base shapes" memes to heart and start "drawing volumes"; Every line in a good anime illustration is representative of a form, they're not just body-like-shapes. Now I'm learning anatomy because my form drawing is intermediate.

Go back to fundamental construction and draw crazy difficult perspectives and poses. Especially very high and low angle shots with deep foreshortening. Maybe throw in some wide angle distortions.

About your anatomy, you make a coherent character I guess, but it doesn't seem like you know exactly where to place your (quite nice) tones; so you put them in generic positions. Kind of indicates you don't really construct a good mental volumescape, you're just toning how a body 'should be' given the scene. Shadows under limbs that are extended, shadows under shoulders, shadows under chin. I don't get the impression the head is actually occupying a three dimensional space.

One time though, a few months ago, I had no idea how to draw a tiger. Tried it from memory. Looked like shit. So I used reference. Looked bretty good. Did another the same night with no ref. ten times better than my first attempt. Drew some more last weekend, despite not seeing a ref since I started in January.
