I watched three of Sycra pointy chins videos in a row. Is that the way people should approach drawing? cuz it's seems to me like he's over complicating everything and not getting any good result whatsoever.

yeah he later said this was not healthy for him, he ended up dreading drawing for a while

id say definely dont try to force it so much

Absolutely, people should be watching his pointy chins series and then do the complete opposite of what Sycra does, learning from an actual teacher instead would be better though

>> No.4746227

why is sycra considered a legitimate learning resource again? I’ve literally never seen a single piece of art he’s made that impressed me. yeah yeah crab bucket pyw but still: makes you think

this, and he's also been drawing for what 30+ years now? He's nearly 40. How does someone even stagnate so hard?

Some people find value in his videos but honestly Sycra is fucking retarded and more of a cautionary tale than a legitimate teacher.

>> No.4746628

His videos and his art depress me. It always looks like he forces himself to draw a certain way and have certain tastes which he doesnt even like himself. Does he even do anything with art nowdays?

should have written an outline and given the thing a clear structure before he started producing chapters desu. it's not bad visually, but the narrative is a big mess that doesn't seem to go anywhere.
it's still the most promising project Sycra has done, though. he'll figure out the format if he just keeps at it.

At least Sycra is asking the right questions. The fact that he's failing miserably and doesn't have the answers is unfortunate, but he's miles ahead of the entertainment/unboxing/list of 10
things youtubers that use art as a shallow aesthetic to wrap around generic algorithm-friendly content.

well he at least tried to make actual teaching videos, unlike faggots like Ethan Becker or Rossdraws that are nothing but a joke.

dont you dare put name of actual teachers in same sentence as fucking jazza

not every resource will click with everyone ou just gotta find whats right for you, but all guys like you do is draw the same fucking muh style shit thinking mindless grind will make you good

loomis, vilppu, hampton or whateever else is there, take it or leave it, now dont spread bullshit like anything of it wont help you

there are people that want to get better and not end up as an autistic NEET shitposting and venting his pent up angst on 4chin

It's insane to me that people here(and only here) shitpost that ross guy. his finished works are like very high tier. I understand hating him, his youtuber zoomer personality is pure cringe but let's be honest his skill is solid as fuck and his style strong, he is a brand at this point
