/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

>>3682140
I've done drawings and continue to do drawings in more academic styles, but since I started posting her years ago even my most academic realist work is neither academic nor realist enough for /ic/. I get the same critique regardless of the level of realism I have in mind for a drawing. I'm sure when I posted pic related three years ago it was savaged for being too loose and stylistic, with no recollection of the drawings I do that are meant to be stylistic and loose. /ic/ has the memory of a snail in that regards. They only recognize forward progress towards realism, and not progress in any other direction. Mastery in this forum is seen as a linear progression towards complete realism, and not a radial progression towards divergent styles. That said the people who talk like this are the most retarded like chun and illastrat, but I genuinely want mastery of all styles, including realism, but also including more alternative styles.
