To post their work is to expose their weaknesses, and to get something that attaches you to your posts. While you don't post your work you can pretend to have any kind of skill level, and have full anonymity.

Because nobody actively desires to be told that they are shit. It's like you would actively be asking to get punched in the face. Sure some morbidly curious people might fnid it amusing to try it out but most normal people do not want that.

Because /ic/ is a bubble filled with retards. And "pyw" is a meme word that's supposed to make you win an argument, regardless if the subject being argued is even relevant.
>pyw

>hahahaha you suck, I win
Or
>post your favorite artworks
>okay this is my favori-
>hahahahaha your favorite art/artist sucks, I win
So why would I? The asker most likely isn't even asking genuinely, and just wants ammo for ad hominem.

TL;DR: most of /ic/ posters are trash and make it not worth posting on this board.

It's never actually worth it. Even artists who are actually good get crabbed on around here, it's pointless trying to impress anyone on /ic/. Trying to argue or have a serious discussion here is an even worse idea.

One, because it's 4chan. There are some deeply trouble and autistic and worse anons running around here, why would i risk connecting my real world with this den of the scum of humanity?
Second, I try to critique in a way that seeing my art wouldn't change anything. If you're drawing something wrong, I don't need credentials to say that - and "post your work" is a retreat to the attack on authority and cowardly. I'm either right in my critique, or I'm wrong. It's a subjective thing. Granted, I can back my words up with a degree and career, but none of that matters for beginning level advice.
I think your need to have people post their work has more to do with things not about art, than about art.

Usually when you get asked to post your work you can only lose. Whether it's good or not isn't that important, people will shit on you and your whole life if you dare to post your work (as an answer to a request at least). Posting in dedicated threads is a different thing.

>Nah, bro, your analogy doesn't work. Because a boxer SHOULD be actively asking to get punched in the face while training, just as an artist should be posting their work for critique.
You have already changing the context of my analogy, I said "MOST NORMAL PEOPLE" I did not say "A BOXER." You created a completely new analogy by changing the subject someone who is specifically in the business of getting punched instead of someone who is normally would not be. Besides a boxer can dodge or block the punches, you cannot dodge written comments you can either ignore them which defeats the original purpose of receiving them or try to argue with them which again defeats the purpose.

>just as an artist should be posting their work for critique.
This holds truth but "critique" at /ic/ is usually short, generalized and unspecific opinions posts like "Loomis" or "learn anatomy" or "read a book" or alternatively "you are shit" or "kys" or posting reaction images or smug lolis or pepes and other assorted memes. None of those are specifically helpful in the field of art.

It's an interesting dillema. 4chan encourages a fully anonymous userbase and actively shuns identifying users like namefags/tripfags/avatarfags. Yet, for a board like /ic/, posting identifying artworks are also valid to prove you have the skill to back up your bullshit. So, ultimately, it just turns into an endless n-no u cycle, excluding the times obvious newfags OR (maybe excessively) confident anons actually respond with work.

I'm not coming at you, fren. Don't wanna argue.

I change the context of your analogy because the context was different in scenario A and scenario B. An artist isn't "most normal people". He's in the business of art. So to compare him to someone to make an analogy, you should also compare him to a person who's in the business of getting punches.

See what I mean? That's all.

As for your second statement,
> None of those are specifically helpful in the field of art.
Nothing I disagree with there. You get 3 crabby comments and maybe 1 decent one, here. But I think you should still share your work because it teaches you to "take the punches" and because it's worth it for that one time someone leaves a decent response (I literally save constructive critiques of my work and the folder is pretty damn empty).

He is partially right, though. As my first semester illustration teacher said, "If you can't defend your work, don't bother." Critiques in college were brutal - but not personal. It's an important distinction. We couldn't say "You suck, faggot", but we could say "Your work sucks - here's why." And we had to defend it. Later, at the end of the semester, the same teacher told us that he did it on purpose, to scare off the flakes, because the program was too crowded, and that we'd get worse as pros. And, he was right - 95% of my experiences professionally have been poilite, but I've run into some raging assholes. And I defended my work, every time.
Most "critique" here is just name calling and childish bullshit, but it's 4chan, it's expected. Which is why I try to give real critiques, and can be blunt. Not rude, but honest.

[Anonymous No.4337985]

I personally don't because I dont want to have my style or art being recognized and have my name/brand tainted by being associated with 4chan, like it or not the art community is mostly ppl who are into cancel culture. I have thought about making separate art just to post in here but I'm under a lot of stress from commissions.

Maybe that is why people are not bothering to post their work? Cause defending stuff like this on 4chan is both useless and a monumental waste of time.

It's really not. A writer at I think Bioware got fired for a forum post he made about immigration. Famous people are getting in trouble all the time now for tweets they made years ago. It's a real thing. Although that just means that you shouldn't post any work on 4chan that is also associated with your professional persona somewhere else. There's no problem with posting quick doodles on 4chan unless you have a very well known and recognizable style (which is probably no one here).
