/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

This thread is made too often

>tfw remember the first two getting posted
proud of you anon

>>4183344
hours per day?
Good progress between July and October, I say.

>>4183429
Thanks!

>>4183440
I only drew between mid February - mid May and stopped till ~2 weeks ago. I used to do like 5h+ of assignments given by a friend, trying to get back at it now.

The left is Day 1 and the right is after working for like 7 months.

>>4183363
This.
I don't understand... I can't even believe all the previous 3 or 4 progress thread I saw this month have reached full capacity and died. Or did they simply die because no posts? If so, why do they keep coming back?

STOP

>>4183471
They're dying because there is no progress on /ic/

>>4183363
Soul vs Soulless

>>4183455
Are you making lineart with fucking pen tool?

are anons actually interested to see the progress of fellow anons?

>>4183534
I pretty much only use pen + bucket atm lol
Trying to figure lasso, my friend told me to leave painting for later.

>>4183551
your friend is a fucking idiot

>>4183537
yes

>>4183555
seconded

>>4183557
w-w-would you like to see mine?

>>4183569
yes, anon-kun, show me

>>4183555
Why, isn't it better to spend more time drawing instead of painting as a rule of thumb?

>>4183551
Unless you literally only have a mouse you have no excuse for this. And if you do only have a mouse and no tablet then just draw on pencil and paper. Get a #2 pencil and printer paper if you're that poor, it's miles better than the fucking pen and bucket tools.
Also stop being friends with that person.

>>4183581
b-be gentle

>>4183590
I'll think I'll pass for now desu, why not post your work?

>>4183596
lol.
You can waste your time if you want, I don't really care, I was just trying to help you out is all.

>>4183592
Do you have some other drawings/sketches from 2019?
I would work on edge control when you paint

>>4183589
That’s not what they’re saying I think. I think they’re saying you should be doing both. Groom both skills at the same time. Draw a reference then attempt to paint it. The reference helps you see values and colors. You’ll progress in both.
Or that pen bucket is a dumb method to draw. I agree you either should get a better medium. Pen and paper is perfectly fine.

>>4183606
yeah, let me draw a pageful

>>4183551
Dude, if you want to do some lazy and quick lineart, grab SAI and use the pen tool. Finish the linework, then adjust the pressure and width of the strokes. You will have a way better result than this.

>>4183619
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out rn.

>>4183613
Idk, maybe, doubt being harsh ever helps getting the message accross though. Will do some Bargue plates this week.

>>4183599
Cute crab.

>>4183628
>it's now crab advice to tell someone not to draw with the pen and bucket
This board is done for

>>4183636
There's telling me about pen pressure which is useful and then there's rambling about printer paper and my friend which is totally useless, unless I'm missing something?

>>4183646
Yeah, holy shit, don't draw with a fucking mouse. That's all he's trying to say. Consider this: No professional draws with a fucking mouse. NONE. Plenty of professionals draw with a screenless tablet, a screen tablet, paper, pencils, pens, markers, iPads, literally EVERYTHING but a fucking mouse.
Think about pro fighting game players, if you want to be a pro at fighting games, you don't NEED an arcade stick because plenty of pros have won EVO with a fucking default ass PS3 controller-- but NO pro at art has drawn with a mouse.
He is saying if you are drawing with a mouse, you are better off drawing on paper with a pencil than you are trying to use a mouse.
Why are you on a fucking board dedicated to art and becoming better at art, yet aren't listening to fucking advice you're given? Especially when that advice isn't difficult. He's not telling you to buy hundreds of dollars of books or perfectly draw a skeleton from every single fucking angle, he is literally telling you to get a default ass fucking pencil and a default ass piece of paper and fucking draw on it.
Re

>>4183666
Actually, you can draw half assedly with a mouse if you are using a vector pen, like I said here >>4183619 . But you are completely right about drawing freehand with a mouse, thats completely and utterly retarded and no one with a sane mind does that.

You can draw with mouses?

I just use(d) a tablet for lineart + rest & the pen with same pressure for heavy and light lol

>>4183461
nice. i like the lineart character

>>4183676
It's possible, I've been drawing with a mouse since I started drawfagging

I got a big boy job, neglected art, went backwards, decided my New Year's Resolution for 2019 would be to improve to get to where I was, did that, and now it's time for the hard part. Art will be the death of me.

Man, this shit is going to hurt. I think I started to draw/practice in january or december, I had nearly no experience before. I don't see much progress myself, and I've stopped drawing many times, sometimes more than a month. Anyway, here's most of the stuff I've done since I've set feet on /beg/

>>4183701
My poses, construction and perspective are horrid. I feel like I'm turd polishing and stylizing most stuff I do.
I don't know what the fuck I need to practice to improve.

>>4183698
>>4183701
nice
Now i feel bad that I don't finish my work and most time I do sketches and WIPs

>>4183702
Baphomet is the last thing I've finished this year.

>>4183701
>>4183702

Wait, what? You started in January this year?

>>4183560
Something tells me that's not your best 2017, seems terribly rushed and more of an experiment.

>>4183705
I'm really fucking shitty with hands and feet, so two days ago I started to use one of those pose sites on sticky to train.
And this is all I've got, I guess. Now go ahead and bash me as much as you guys want. Please advice me what to do.

Only thing Ive redrew lately. Dumbass joke i made way back in high school.

>>4183707
He didn't mean this January, otherwise he's blatantly lying unless he drew 16 hours a day.

>>4183730
No, I really started just a year ago, maybe around december, january or october. I dont really remember. I already had some experience with photoshop and graphic programs.Before it, I would draw or doodle something once every 5 months or so, sometimes just once in a year.
I turd polish A LOT and sometimes I take days to finish something. Currently I'm trying to become faster at drawing and learn feets and hands, but I have no idea if im on the right way or progressing.
I'm a 32 yo neet, I've wasted most of my life studying and searching for work and all of this just made me miserable. Drawing in one of the things that I always wished to do. Maybe I'm to late for it, but I've made up my mind and for the past two months I've been drawing everyday and following the /beg/ sticky.

Things from april-october. Sketch on the right is from today.

>>4183746
You bitch, if I grew the pace you are I wouldn't have to worry about a motherfucking thing, fuck you. Better being old and getting better fast than being young and never moving.

>>4183758
I dunno how old you are, but you can easily get better than me if you make up your mind. I feel pressured and depressive everyday, I just got a shitty job job where I need to walk 5-7 hours a day mapping street adresses with a notebook and a pen, which makes me even more tired and depressive. My future is bleak as fuck, I'm graduate at two different universities but never managed to get a decent job because I lost my way.
You have no pressure like I do, make up your mind and fucking draw, dude.It's going to look like I'm memeing, but jordan peterson stuff was what motivated me to draw. More specifically, this video right here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwGDnSWmqhM
Take aim and you will have a better future and skills than me.

>>4183766
See? You even had a soul crushing job experience and still fucking draws, I am literally a neet that can't do shit.

Bro, listen, you have to appreciate what you have, just fucking keep up. Don't try pulling people out of their holes, just do your job. That's life.

Mostly learning to render and refining anatomy. Haven't done much with my improvements because uni is draining my life and energy away every day.
>>4183702
Your monster girls have really nice designs. Either you're humblebragging or you're better than you think.
>>4183754
Pink hair and running mascara looks great, hopefully you keep working on that style.
>>4183698
Really comfy paintings, I think you're going towards a good direction. I especially like the yuru camp and LWA ones.

>>4183698
Oh, I hope I'm not bothering you, but can you tell me how you learned to draw those beautiful backgrounds and landscapes? Which books and tutorials you used?

>>4183746
>>4183766
>but I've made up my mind and for the past two months I've been drawing everyday
Godspeed anon
won't be today
not tomorrow
but I feel like you're gonna make it

>>4183772
I've been mirin' and studying Peder Mork Monsted's work. I've also been watching painting time lapses and watching different people's processes.
https://www.youtube.com/user/MichaelJamesSmithArt https://www.youtube.com/user/AndrewTischlerArt

>>4183537
yes

>>4183771
>Pink hair and running mascara looks great, hopefully you keep working on that style.
Thanks. I dont really have a style and it's bothering me a bit.

Had one from a bit ago, so I might as well post it. Ironically, I finally feel like I'm making some progress (not pictured).

>>4183537
Yes

>>4183800
>started drawing literally this year
>already better at anime than most of the board
step your game up /ic/

>>4183800
>>4183746

You’re pretty inspirational, only a few years younger than you and want to jump back into drawing after not for a decade

>>4183592
Got my first tablet in March, left one is one of my first drawings, right is from yesterday, they both took almost the same amount of time

You can almost feel the soul getting out of his body

>>4183895
That's kind cool anon. Keep it up

>>4183895
what in the world is this anon.

>>4183899
They're like mushrooms but have eyes with caratacts and pileus protuberances that look like hair

>>4183895
Were you doing trad beforehand or is this fresh out the gate?

>>4183800
How did you start out?
Which books did you read?
Blog?

>>4183902
I see. pretty fucking neat anon. nice work

>>4183800
And here i am just barely reaching the top right girl heiling hitler

2018-2019

>>4183903
oh, I meant first drawings as in first digital drawings, I've been drawing and painting for like 3 years and I think I've only been practicing seriously for the last year and a half

Made this a year ago, thought it would be a good example since it's trad and it's the same character/species

>>4183904

Not him, but he's dare from the /dad/ threads.

>>4183344

>>4183800
>starts off with insanely good skull for someone that's never drawn before
what
the
fuck
I swear there are /beg/s that take months to even draw a skull from reference properly let alone render it decently

>>4183914
these are great anon! i kinda like them more as lines w/ flats or maybe washes. they end up kind of creepy if you render too much. maybe that's the intent though

>been drawing daily since the end of June
>basically no progress until a tiny bit at the start of this month
feels like I have a legitimate learning disability compared to the people in this thread

>>4183916
Is there some way to look up his stuff in a more organized way?

>>4183921
adore your stuff kevin
keep going!!

https://dad.gallery/users/1284
Unfortunately most people on that website don't link a proper blog to follow so you'll have to ask him here for that.

>>4183698
Lovely stuff

I'm also glad that you're one of those people who actually waste their time drawing memeshit. People like you are what make 4chan great. The Mugino one is my fav.

>>4183904
>How did you start out?
I started because I got a tablet for free. I was already ok at copying pictures because of high school assignments but not much beyond that. First thing I did was follow ctrl+paint lessons to understand digital, but never completed it. Did a bit of fun with a pencil for about a week then skipped straight to hampton.
>Which books did you read?
From the very instant I started I was worried about how much I was learning so I was always experimenting with different ways of studying. I found out books weren't helping me much early on. What really helped me to make things click was copying (analyzing, getting a feel for, etc) other artist's studies, but it helped only if the artists had a similar way of thinking to me. I found that only studying with intent was fruitful. You need to pick a single aspect to study and focus on it.
I only recently found a good way get a lot out of a studying a single drawing. It seems really obvious to me now but all I have to do is just instantly apply whatever I studied. For every referenced drawing I do, I do at least another one from imagination. It seems to be really helping when it comes to remembering details.
>Blog
I have one but I keep nuking it because I'm dissatisfied with myself.

>>4183929
If it makes you feel better it took about 3 days. I wonder if anyone remembers when I posted a wip of that in /beg/.

>>4183947
is this a joke?

>>4183947
This is why you shouldn't do drugs.

>>4183674
tfw did 16 pages of a comic in 2006 with a mouse in macromedia flash 5.

>>4183947
Looks like you've found what you love.

>>4183947
I like your posts and think you're one of the artists of /ic/ with greatest potential for interesting experimental art but you're limited by your technical skill. Practice more perspective and anatomy imo

>>4183939
Thanks

>>4183944
Thanks for the answer.
>but it helped only if the artists had a similar way of thinking to me
Which ones, for example? Just out of curiosity.

>>4183969
It was mainly this person, alongside some other dad users. https://mmrgl.tumblr.com/

>>4183947
Sad!

>>4184074

art is art anon

Where do you guys make these?

>>4183746
>Maybe I'm to late for it

The only thing that you too late is the professional sports. The rest is fine. And yes I'm serious, this is not just a lame motivational speech.

It's clear that he had experience before june he just doesn't have anything to showcase.

>>4183534
W... Wait, am I not supposed to? Not him, but OH FUCKING SHIT I USE NOTHING BUT PEN FOR LINE ART

OH SHIT OH CHRIST HELP ME WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HOW DO I FIX IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>4183709
i went through my files from 2017 and I swear they all look like that. i would spend 1 minute on the initial sketch, throw some weird colors in and call it a day. I still struggle with finishing my artwork but thankfully I'm nowhere near as lazy as I used to be.

>>4183746
im happy to see someone over 25 here that is genuinely commited to drawing and getting better instead of complaining that they're too old.

>>4184311
i'm definitely not the ic's definition of "made it", but i neglected drawing for years, got an engineering diploma, finally decided to fuck it all and went to art college when i was 23. I'm getting small commissions (illustrations and portraits) even though I'm practically nonexistent in social media. I really dont feel like age matters anything these days, everyone has access to the internet and clients dont care whether you're 16 or 50, they just want their commission done.

>>4184311
Van Gogh started at 27-28

I think it's ok for 3 year improvement. I'm still bad when it comes to drawing from imagination tho

>>4184511
Didn't know he's been browsing /ic/ recently

>>4184311
me, I started at 30

>>4184577
me too

>>4183947
based and coompilled

This year has been good for me art wise, next year im just gonna make a new improvement image tho too much stuff.

>>4184350
Whats this suppose to mean? Is it a bad start?

>>4184641
>>4183947
How do you guys make these? I used some shit collage maker online.

>>4184644
dude just create a new document in photoshop paste your artworks and move them around. or use sai or whatever software you like.

>>4184644
i just used mspaint

>>4184642
It means you haven't even started yet you doofus. It's like posting a weight loss pic after 24 hours

>>4183932
I've been trying to make these mushroom guys look creepy but at the same time inoffensive and harmless so I think I'm good for now (because they can always look better than they do now)
I think they need a little redesign tho

>>4183363
i see what youre going for. youve just got to polish your style a bit and youll be there! keep going anon

>>4183947

the only thing missing from this thread is giantess-loli anon. where have you gone, senpai?

>>4183944
which way would you recommend writing notes?

was 31 in 2018, 32 in 2019

>>4185042

you got better anon :3

>>4183698
Blog? I recall seeing your artwork on the /a/ booru and the 2019 girl on a draw this thread. I've always admired your rendering skills.

>>4185248
If I ever make one, I'll go with "Ritter" or "Ritterbruder"

>>4185233
Is that Justin Kuritzkes?

>>4185249
Thanks, just one question, what's your process for painting and what programs do you use?

>>4185270
>what's your process for painting
I don't know how to describe my process more elaborately and it's different for every piece, you're gonna have to be more specific
>what programs do you use?
Krita and MS Paint(2019, because my PC is dying)

>>4185270
>what's your process for painting
I don't know how to generally describe my process and it's different for every piece, you're gonna have to be more specific
>what programs do you use?

10 outta 10 spooky thing to hear on Halloween.

Im on a couple of the discords, and i had a shitty tumblr, maybe ya saw me from there?

>>4185295
I'm talking about workflows, stuff like "sketch to lineart then coloring" and etc.

>>4185393
I'm really having a hard time trying to describe it but I start out with blobs of color to see how well they go together. When I'm satisfied with the colors and composition, I move on to "sculpting" the forms, making adjustments until I'm satisfied(I don't do construction so I just go by feel). Then polishing which takes the most amount of time--this is where I add the textures. I also take multiple days off between work sessions and I'm easily distracted so it usually takes me weeks to finish a project, not a very good workflow. I'm still trying to figure out how I can improve in this aspect but maybe it's just because of my inexperience.

I suppose it's not too bad considering I never "studied" art. At least, that's what I tell myself to cope.

>>4185468
Was supposed to be inktober redraws but I never finished the rest.

i still got a lot to learn :^)

>>4186331
i never got how CWC drew for almost two decades and never improved

>>4183344
>this much progress within one year

thanks to some tutorials I got better... still trashy but I'm learning uwuuuuuuu

>>4186557
Stop drawing degenerate subject matter and it would be progress.

>>4186421
what do you like drawing?
just look tutorials for the things you like, and ask for help if you feel like it, a friend helped me to color a drawing and I learned in the process

A hard round brush, but an anti-aliased round brush. With tablet pressure bound to size if you have a tablet.
Yes, this means that you can't use bucket fill for coloring, but that's fine, since bucket fill is a terrible tool for coloring. There are better ways.

>>4184378
>people in this thread getting their minds blown that digital PAINTING is supposed to involve actual PAINTING and not just clicking buttons
This is just sad.

because that anon touched my little heart with his depressed pepe post and I felt like giving him 1-2 self-improvement tips or smth

Overall I'm not a fan of all those whiny /ic/ ppl but such is life lol

>>4190068
hey mum big fan!
What did you do when it came to supporting yourself while studying? Did you go to college during that time, work a normal job, etc?
I'm fine spending time studying but my family would much prefer I do something else. Just curious if you had any advice or insight for a 19 year old working full time that really doesn't want to go to college

>>4190068
I recognize that pose

>>4186769
What did you learn?

I know people say to think of breasts as water balloons for how they fall, but they arent actually filled with water.

>>4194885
the face looks way better constructed and the posture is kind of more natural, also, nice values for a sketch, well done

>>4194539
But isn't this painting REALLY famous? and has been parodied lots of times by porn artists

everyone here talks about their art progressing but what about regressing? has anyone been on a long leave from art to come back to find they can't draw as they used to?

>>4196150
Yeah I took a break for about a year (only drawing on and off) and I stagnated.

It took me a whole year to get enough momentum back to match my prime

>>4196174
how long have you been drawing for? I've started like 5 months ago and now I have to go to the military for like a year so I fear the worst

>>4196205
maybe 6yrs, I had a good rhythm for the first 3 yrs, then I just drew on and off for the back 3

5 months isn't that long, the good gains are usually in the first year, and then they kind of stick - like riding a bike.

You should be more concerned that you won't want to draw at all when you get back after a year.

>>4196215
yea I'm still very much a beg but I always have ideas I want to draw so I hope I don't lose interest. thanks for answering my pleb questions

>>4194539

So fucking sad seeing /ic/ turn from a place where everyone wanted to be good painters and draftsmen into being a hangout place for shitty coomers.

>>4196330
when was this mythical era when there wasn't anime tiddy drawings and penis mania?

Someone just slapped the coomer name on it recently

>>4196332
Just ignore everyone that uses that stupid word seriously. They're not worth anyone's time.

I don't know when or how exactly it happened but suddenly all the draw threads, all the self promo threads, alt threads and the majority of new threads created were filled with coomers.
Same has happened with the LAS discord server I feel, used to be a bunch of really good artists there trying their best to become better artists but now it's mainly coomers there too.
Where the fuck do you go for a serious /ic/ related community now a days?

I recommend looking at the hand as a 3D for. Proko and Bridgeman go into great details about it.

>>4183698
How long have you been drawing?

>>4197459
~2.5 years

>>4183363
soul vs soulless

>>4183344
You have always been shit, are still shit, and always will BE shit.

literally nothing changed what the fuck

im trying

>>4190286
This is the first one i've seen that's focusing on a style and making it more appealing rather than just making it more realistic or learning color theory

>>4186417
Literally autism. A lot of artists who draw for a decade plus with no change have autism

>>4200740
Incredible shape design
If you don't mind me saying, you are held back by a couple things;
Composition and storytelling (more details does not make an image more impactful or compelling)
Sense of depth and 3D
Values

Focus on those and become a fucking God, you have the fire

>>4200753
Is that a bad thing?

>>4200854
To elaborate, let me ask you the following questions:

What is he doing
What's he looking at
What time of day is it
How big is the room he's in
How far away is the statue behind him
What's he about to do
How does he feel
Is he a statue, or does he have movement and life?
What's off frame?

The armour and sword have so much drama in their design alone, which makes me think you have incredible potential, but without those elements, the figure has little more impact or charisma than the 2010 one (if you don't believe me, draw them both wearing the same outfit or nude)

/beg/ 5 months.

>>4194843
You shouldn't expect much progress from just 2 months. But I like your stuff. It's comfy

>>4196150
I took a 6-7 month break and found that I actually improved a little

>>4200905
anon this shouldn't be your source for studying

>>4183800
>>4183853
Are we looking at the same picture my nigga?
This guy says he never drawn anything, then immediately shits a perfectly accurate human skull and then makes the same badly drawn anime girls for the rest of the year with no progress whatsoever

Huwat is happenin on this timeline

>>4202268
Let's see your anime girls.

going through the thread and its pretty cool! Day 1 with a Huion drawing tablet and its super fun, have always been discouraged from drawing but loving it so far! Just some sketches testing everything out

>>4190286
From "getting roasted on /ic/" to "getting rimmed on /ic/'s Discord". Great job (no sarcasm).

>>4200856
No, you're doing the right thing.

>>4183592
anon is caveman confirmed

>>4183895
He looks like a fun guy.

A man of culture, I see.

Bump

>>4204318
Why every person who call themself "man of culture" has shit taste?

>>4183363

I like it, and you can say it's just your style, but you're technically cheating with that foot there. Give her individual toes.

I have a big box of drawings all the way from when i was 5 years old and im waiting to get better so that one day i can post them all in a massive progress image only to have some 17 year old drooling weaboo type ">LUL 20 YEARS LMAOO GAINS GOBLIN"

>>4183363
want to be my internet girlfriend

i like your big nose

>>4183800
LOOK AT THIS SHIT.
How can anyone look at this and come to the conclusion that drawing is a skill that can simply be "learned" and not a dormant talent in a small percentage of the population.

>>4207063
Nobody ever said that there's no such thing as "talent" you fucking nimwit. But there is such a thing as learning a skill... talent certainly gives you a boost, but for the remaining 99% you have to work hard at it and you can still get good at it.

Also, why would you believe anything anyone says on the internet? There's no way that person hasn't been drawing since forever. They just started taking it seriously in the "before" pictures.

2016

2019

>>4207063
he did say it took him 3 days to do the skull

>>4183800
>>4207063
If this is truly without much prior experience then this is one of the most discouraging pictures I have ever come across and absolute proof that talent is ridiculously important.
I honestly cannot believe that this is true, maybe I just don't want to believe it, but if I did, I might drop art alltogether.
Also I feel like the skull is the least impressive thing on there unless it's from imagination.

>>4207151
>>4207063
are you people retarded obviously the artist hadaprevious drawing experience but just didnt have them or find them good enough to include in the image. and all of the drawaings there are /beg/ level figure studies you must be genuinely terrible or underage to not see this

>>4183344
Few hours a day at work. Still working hard at it. If anyone has a recommendation on more fundamentals to focus on I'd appreciate it. I'm teaching myself shading at the moment and still figuring out perspective.

>>4207161
I am genuinly terrible and how am I supposed to know whether people have prior experience or not? I only have my own experience to go by and can't tell if what I go through is "normal".

>>4207211
in that case fucking relax buddy, you're going to be okay. everyone starts somewhere and learning isnt a linear process

>>4183712
Honestly, if my hands and feet were this good, I wouldn't be so inclined to scrap pictures just because I fucked them up.

>>4200721
it actually got worse

Anon, I...

>>4191099
Ok boomer

>>4191099
Why?

>>4191099
Care to elaborate anon? You can't just dump your opinion out like that. Give reasons.

>>4208109
The pun is not that bad.
Have a kitkat.

just under a year progress

>>4183914
>>4183895

All these people giving you compliments but not a single one asks for your blog. Blog?

>>4208684
p.s the thick of it is a great show. pretty much anything ianucci is involved in has a kind of double-edged misanthropy about it. something against the public and something against politicians, like in yes prime minister.
i think you learnt some great economy and the temperatures of the face in the recent one! going well

>>4208684
12th doctor? see you are a man of culture.

How is progress measured?

>>4210267
Change over time

>>4210297
You draw like a pre-teen, get out of here before /ic/ destroys your social life.

>>4190068
Link just looks like that in BOTW. Sidon is also pretty huge.

>>4191644
Scott Eaton, James Gurney, Scott Robertson, Loomis and such are pretty good. A lot of people say "Just draw" but don't elaborate on it. You need to draw with a purpose of improving something specific. Like perspective or figures.
>>4192155
Go ahead and overlay them anon, should be easy in your art program.

>>4192192
You have to really love drawing. I love it and it still frustrates me sometimes. You need to be dedicated and put forward a good work ethic. At first I did have a part time job and drew. I built a following on commissions and soon enough my commissions supported me better than my part time. Once I gained enough traction I created a Patreon, which was slow at first, but marketing is really key.

>people progressing so fast
this makes me feel like a failure to myself

>>4210746
post your progress

>>4186417
just like u lol

Half year ago

>>4210746

Which ones? Everyone here seems to be progressing slowly to normally

Can you post the piece on the upper left of 2016?

Phoneposting so can't combine pics
August last year

>>4211103
November this year

>>4210748
ok, tho i have had prior drawing experience i never tried to actually get better until September of this year.

can someone tell me where i stand between beg and int?

started the right side over a month ago and just went over it in darker pencil. wip, been on hiatus for years.

>>4183698
I remember giving you shit on that DkSII 2017 piece, feels good to see people making progress

>that guy who posts 1 day / week / month progress

>that guy who shitposts with frogs

>>4210773
Ok, now draw faces.

>>4211666
Three months ago

2 FUCKING YEARS

AHHHHHHHHHHHH i will be 50 by the time i can draw like the zoomers of jap

>>4211809
Hey anon, I wanted to ask, do you practice only using anime styles? If not can you post some studies?

>>4211827
this is the closest thing to a study i used to do, i never used references or gesture what i did was study each part of the body individually but that was just this year

i think i have never done a proper study i just drew whatever until i could understand it and that was it .

my progress is really embarrassing.. i don't really have many pieces to show because i tend to never complete anything and just sketch, so that's why its so scarce.

it was only this year i pushed myself to do more creative work than just shitty studies. i still think my art is boring as shit but i think im getting somewhere. or maybe i'm just being optimistic. i just dont like how samey it looks.

Forgot image

I'm not yet where I want to be, but I'm seeing slow, steady progress.

>>4200721
It's literally worse what the fuck HOW. Usually at such a low level, improvement is easy because there's so much to improve on, but you somehow regressed as a beginner.
My suggestions for you: a) do gestures and references of people, b) draw hands and arms for fuck sake, do not cover them up like a coward.

>>4211710
You're still covering up half the face.

>>4212838
):

>>4211809
What country are you from anon?

One week of cat studies
I think I saw pretty substantial improvement (´ω`)

Can't blame anyone but myself.

>>4213894
you stopped drawing between those years?

>>4212007
i like your stuff, blog?

>>4213905
I don't like to post it publicly on /ic/. If you want to contact me some other way, feel free to leave something here.

>>4214182
forgot to add: thank you very much! means alot

>>4183455
why draw her with a fucking pussy slit? cumbrains are so fucking wierd it boggles my mind.

>>4186493
whats wrong with her legs

>>4199002
how old

Haha fuck

I came here to laugh at all the people who are stuck because they only draw anime without any photo reference

>>4214529
How's that going for you? Maybe you should do some drawing instead of procrastinating on 4chan.

>>4214532
Same could be said for you, salty anon

>>4214226
>t. mad roastie

It's been a year already.

>>4214870
Good progress

you better make one anon
i'm waiting

>>4214539
>>4190068
This is my work. Post yours.
You should focus on your own studies rather than making fun of someone. It's in poor taste.

>>4214828
The pussy is poorly drawn is what he's saying.

>>4215019
Ugh, gross.
You're the one talking about poor taste?

>>4215107
No work means your opinion goes in the trash.

>>4215019

>>4215150
kek

I never do these but it feels good

>>4215273
soulless

>>4215150
lmao you're the idiot gives "critiques" in /asg/. You're an embarrassment.

>>4215150
Nice try. That's an older piece of his art and he always writes a paragraph along with his posts.

>>4200740
Very impressive, do you have somewhere you post your art?
