>>6495442
Not really anything to work with here, so just low /beg/. Draw something to finished because there's not much to say about a quick sketch and lineart wise quite frankly there is no line art, just scratches.
>>6495457
Higher /beg/ I guess, i like the coloring choices but the figures really need more variation, its all very straight forward basically profile views and lacks anything interesting. Especially when you see the same face 4 times in 1 page it really makes it feel too bland even with the pretty interesting coloring.
>>6495589
more curve to the box, you just increased the side of his hips instead of bending his back more. Its no longer a box, its a trap.

If I had to guess I'd probably say high pro or even higher.

I am planning to reach the average skill level of the artists below (except maybe the middle bottom and bottom right ones, all of them mutuals and social media artists I follow) in 1 year maximum, since I feel like I can probably get at those levels quickly enough to start working on personal projects full time. My current skill level is above, how far do you think I am as of now? Doing this for myself since I want to start making small comics and world building projects fully in the near future and I need both competent enough art and decent writing.

I like these threads, it's been a while. I still dont like usint the whole "BegIntPro" rank system though...
>>6495391
I know it's a troll at this point, but I hate this draw so much and I dont know why. Needless to say, it's a very well detailed piece, albeit sketchy in some areas.
>>6495442
Not bad, but I'd try to reduce the symmetry as much as possible and give more detail and expression to the face, also I think you would rather post a finished work on this thread kek, there's nothing to concretely say from these.
>>6495457
Too scratchy and sketchy, but I can see the attention to detail and a good use of tools here, doesnt look all that finished to me desu, but it has it's charm as it is.
>>6495462
Way too polished for my taste... and by "polished" I mean literally, like you just polished with a tool or something lmao. Great details and rendering though, I like the far right one.

Too anime-ish, which is not a bad thing, looks good in some pieces but lackluster in others, You're off to a good start. Idk what your end goal is, but you should probably play more with art styles and not just anime stuff.

I miss old Keanu, his look from Matrix was kino. Nice draw too, great details and stylization, like those fancy cartoonist that make portaits of people.
>>6495679
This one has soul, ironically. I dont understand how people can use so scratchy and sketchy brushes on digital and still make it look so good.
>>6495698
You're improving, Gabe :) I still think you need to pay more attention to your body constructions, it works on some, but not on others

/low/ int Your values are great, but I'd be curious to see how you place figures in your environments.

>>6495831
mid /beg/ I can see you spent a lot of time on expressions but your figures are very stiff and understanding of anatomy is low, though it looks like you're tackling that area already. Keep it up!

>>6495851

I'm sorry but at your level you should be doing things that imagen can't do and should break the boundaries in what you're capable of. Extreme angles/distortion, exaggerated expressions, gesture and better contrast in composition are some things you can and should pull off. But I know these things don't generate as many social media points as le animu girl, so you do you I guess.

Hard to judge from just a sketch. why are her butt cheeks so far apart?

>>6495457
low /int/
I'd say the stylization pushes it into /int/. Some of coloring seems too random. He's missing the back and sides of his cranium.

>>6495462
high /beg/
some hard edges could easily push you into /int/. not to be too rude but it's lacking form. everything is really flat. it's symbol drawn, the horns are the most obvious example.

>>6495589

decent forms

needs better material rendering on the metal, fur, leather, cloth, grass and dirt. pose is a bit awkward, his proportions seem a bit off too. a lot of the colors are muddy. but it's a very good attempt at such a complex piece.

>>6495851
High int. The right hand is terrible. Also she looks malnourished and starved of food and water. Girls just dont have the rib cage super visible. Itd show thru the skin but not like that.

hmm it does look a bit worse cause its zoomed in like 35% beyond the irl physical size

but ur right i could make it less muddy in general ill try...

>>6497584
pretty good piece overall but that gradation of the sky is standing out annoyingly, maybe introduce some atmospheric distancing or whatever it's called where the farther the object, the less contrast with the sky it has

>>6497806
Great start. There’s a lot to convey in that image. The first guy is right. It needs way more definition. Try doing a two tone study if it’s not clicking. As far as colors go, add some more warm tones to highlight the form. Play with reds and oranges. Then just more detail once you have that. If this is oil paint I would just treat this like an under painting and work right on top of what you already have.

Drew Marisa recently. This one was for coloring.

posted before but didn't get much feedback

>>6496863
Damn, what makes it /beg/ tier?

>>6497951
kinda edgy but i like it

>>6497951
Stop abusing soft brushes. Really make this piece look worse than it should.

Everytime i post in these threads I get ignored until a guy calls me a /beg/, and then turns right around and calles a crayon drawing /high master/

Old but want it to be critiqued

>>6498045
Did you hatch this by yourself or you used a brush?

>>6498007
I usually get maybe one reply and it's okay. My stuff is mostly studies.

>>6497966
Line thickness is everywhere. There's no thought to it.
Anatomy needs massive improvement. Flug's abdomen has no depth to it. Just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it has no form. Heed's anatomy as well. The muscles/forms are slapped on without an idea how they actually are.
There's a lot of things that make it beg. And describing them all wouldn't help you.
But something new cartoonists forget is that they need to know anatomy and how that anatomy wraps around the form.
I say this since I draw fanart of this show a lot. Keep it up though.

I recommend grouping values to make things less muddy. It could help to start with bigger shapes and two values first (your main light and shadow) then go into the smaller details and more nuanced values later. Another way to clean it up would be paying more attention to your edge control. To me it seems as if you went first with a small brush, which would explain the white spaces, but you don't seem to have a clear image of what the final product would look like.

I agree with the guy that a two stone study would be good but I don't know if I would agree with treating your current progress as an underpainting because the layers look very rough and thick to me the more you add the more uneven it will become. This was my mistake with my first oil painting 4 years ago. Instead of knowing how to take away from the paint and be decisive with my actions, I kept adding more over my mistakes up only to end up with my layers, texture, surface, and brushstrokes all fucked up so I had to use my thinner to wipe layers of wasted paint and repaint over after destroying all the preexisting paint. Thinking you can just correct your mistakes by painting over like with digital is a common mistake for people painting for the first time.

I also don't know if I would agree with the comment on warm tones, because temperature is more advanced than values. If you don't know your light and shadows adding more varied temperature will most likely make things even more confusing (mistake I do a lot the time). I recommend a zorn palette for temperature work, but I myself am terrible at temperature so I really can't give any advice beyond the basics and beginner stuff.

VERY low beg

>>6498185
That’s not my drawing of Dem. I was just showing you what I meant by form. Notice how her face is depicted as a 3 dimensional shape. This is what your piece lacks.
Mimicking Alan’s style is actually really easy. If you want to get good at that you should collect shots from the show. Or use his artwork as a reference sheet. If yours looks off trace the reference to get proportions of the face then attempt to redraw it without tracing.
But you should definitely practice human anatomy by drawing poses from reference and studying the muscles.

>>6495388
From a series I’m doing on 2000’s web design.

>>6498217
Your style is cool. You should clean up your lines but if you used a traditional medium like ink then the material would create more natural lines without you having to worry about aliasing and jagged digital shit. You probably do more than just digital but the next step it to make physical works and have them framed. Maybe make a wood block stamp and do series or at least make a stamp for your signature since it would compliment the style.

>>6497584
Composition is mad good but the proportions of the cow in front left could be slightly better but that’s approaching master class shit when you do everything exactly right. Really good.

>>6495776
Compositionally this is pretty based and the values are good at creating depth. Although, as a unity, the image looks good, when I break it down into individual parts it folds pretty badly. Like the other anon’s post >>6498217
you’d benefit from creating using a traditional medium. The tool you used to make the background and some other elements look like they were printed just looks fucked up where two segments of dots meet. Additionally, the little line tool you used in some areas like in the bottom right should either be drawn in or clipped in but the round brush for that intention doesn’t work. Another thing I noticed is that you should have drawn the sun instead of using the airbrush, especially since you didn’t use a fully opaque brush and I can see the dot layer behind the sun. Good work, altogether.

>>6495388
let me guess perma/beg/ trash tier

>>6498986
Draw what inspires you, then work on your weaknesses. The face in the bottom right is good, but then the feet on the top left make me want to kill myself. Do you enjoy drawing women? You suck at it. Try drawing an orange or even just a ball. If you’re interested you should learn an older academic style that relies on lines rather than shading.

>>6498950
Thanks a lot anon (seriously) for the detailed answer. Like I said in the first post, I don't (almost ever) draw characters, rather just landscapes, and for that reason I barely get critiques in general. Relatively recently I made the jump to a graphic tablet and playing with textures like screentones and so, so I'll take into consideration all your points.
>especially since you didn’t use a fully opaque brush and I can see the dot layer behind the sun
Lmao I didn't notice that, I fucked up.

>>6499017
Keep working, you’re on the right path. If you ever want to get in touch with me feel free to hit me up on. I’ll attach a wallpaper to this post that has my watermark in the bottom right and I have a contact page on my website.

>>6498896
I use ink a lot. I’m not super patient though, so tend to get scribbley. I know when I practice drawing regularly my noodles get more appealing, but when I’m rusty (nowadays) I either end up too stiff or too chicken scratchy. Working on it.

>>6499643

>>6499643
Use brushes made for ink and let the materials work for you. Krink makes something called like the K40 or something which has an unusual applicator included with the ink. I recommend you play with some really high quality alcohol based inks and you’ll see what I mean about letting the medium work for you. Pens are honestly lame if you want to make loose artsy shit or anything that isn’t academically western. You can try water/charcoal base inks but I don’t have any experience with them but their properties are different than alcohol or xylene base inks.

>>6499664
I use fountain pens sometimes and like the texture I can get from them

>>6499668
>>6499668
Do you have anything more finished? This being the only example of your work that I have I would say you’re young or just beginning to draw. I’d say keep working and get loose like a goose when you’re being creative. Positioning of the body is good but the hands and feet need work. If you’re interested I can effort post about what I mean when I talk about getting loose when you’re creating. If you’re just starting don’t get discouraged my tone is critical by the nature of our dialogue but your work is good. Really work on your hands and feet if you plan on drawing lots of figures.

>>6499674
Sure. If you have any examples or some of your own studies I would love to see them. I really do enjoy art and seeing others works to improve my own, and try to always do as much as possible to keep expanding my visual library. Feel free to shoot away.

>>6499679
I posted my work earlier in the thread. I’m a professional artist and consultant for some of the world’s top galleries. You can see my current projects on my website that I laid the address of into the bottom right of a wallpaper I posted. I don’t do what you’re trying to accomplish really at all, but if you’d like I can direct you to some academically correct and impressive images for you to draw inspiration.

That wolf straight sucks but the bird woman is pretty cool

>>6499683
Have you had any income from your pieces? Your work is advanced compared to an untrained person, but there’s a level of mastery that’s missing from your work. Are you really inspired by your subjects? The application of chiaroscuro is bretty gud but you need more of a mid tone because the face looks smooshed.

>>6499686
>>6499687
>Have you had any income from your pieces?
Unfortunately no. Ive been trying to build a following but its been hard lol. I know drawing fanart is the way but I just like drawing personal stuff more.

>there's a level of mastery missing from your work
>the wolf sucks
Yeah, so I have really only been hardcore studying for about a year now, but started art in 2021 and have had an experienced artist guide me. We've mainly been working on anatomy and capturing likeness to reference, so it could be that I was just really feeling like doing more one day and decided to just jump into messing around with harsh light. It was fun, but obviously I fucked quite a couple things up on the painting lol. That missing mastery is also something ive noticed fundamentally as well. I want to say the main source of that feeling you're getting from my work is that ive been stalling what I call the "final phase" of practicing for a bit of time now. I absolutely agree that Im missing that ever so slight bit of edge to push my work to the level I one day wish to be at. I believe ill finally have an opening to begin building up my fundamentals again by next month and I cant wait :)

hi am i good?

>>6499697
It’s whatever then, bro. You’re killing it if you’re only a year into your grind. Keep working on your art and something will happen for you once you find your style. Sales are very much based on networking and building a presence over a few years at the very least. Don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself or break out of your mold if you ever find yourself in once. Play with lots of different tools both digital and physical.

Am I supposed to think a human being made this? If you want me to critique your collage then I’d say what can be said of almost all “ai” artworks, except the procedurally created stuff, is that it’s a poorly assembled imitation of a source image/input/s.

If you made this, I have bad news. The image has the impression of being created by some unthinking, unfeeling, uneducated program. It’s okay for something of its kind but compared to the work of a real person (an actual artist not you) it’s really amateurish. Are you Chinese?

>>6500999
yes

>>6500486
Glorious. Haven’t seen the original so I’m not sure how the shadows are, but the dark spots being a little flat is literally the only critique I have.

Posting this train wreck I finished a bit ago. Lots of technical issues but I enjoyed it. I have to maintain the impression that I’m not a complete degenerate so this is the closest to the light of day she will probably see.

>>6501045
This is like a weird uncanny valley thing where it looks almost like you made it really terrible on purpose.

>>6501045

>>6500866
Not him, but Idk how that pic is AI generated. Most of the stuff you pointed out are just armature artist mistakes. AI does not really blur stuff, it more commonly melts stuff. Though the boob shading looks very AIey, or at least the base NovelAI artstyle.

I'm just realizing how little illustration I've been doing recently. This last year I really ended up going down the more "designed" feeling path. This is some personal character stuff I did.

>>6504858
Sucks

>>6505087
Sucks

>>6498814
That helps a little bit more, thank you. What I still don't understand is what I did wrong with the anatomy. I can see it for Flug's stomach but for the rest I genuinely don't know how to improve it without sacrificing the simplicity I was going for. Is it the lack of definition? The placement of the musculature I *did* put on there? I'm truly at a loss.

>>6505463

NTA, but I would say you belong just along the edge of beg/int. Kind of in limbo between them.

You show decent enough anatomy in your work without breaking anything. The colors are decent, and the shading is nice. The boob is drawn nicely, though missing just a little more squish. The way the hands get sharp at their 3rd finger joint look wierd on the man, almost like theyre octopus fingers. I would have said you're comfortably int due to the mans grasping hand stylization, but as I look at it more I realize a few things. The truth is, the stylization disrupts certain things but what makes it obvious for me is the clothing. The clothing around them follows no perspective and is very all over the place from what should be just a standard look from above, aka birds eye view. The clothing flattens the image a lot due to its lack of following the depth of what should be the bed.

Again, on the anatomy front it looks nice, besides the hands. However the clothing and perspective definetily makes it far harder to place you int.

Blah blah beg this int that. Speaking normal human, its a nice drawing, just study up on perspective and for sure clothing a bit more to engrave that into your head when drawing, so oopsies like in that piece dont occur again, because once you see it you cant unsee it lol.

Looks like you mixed a wizard (like dark magician from yugioh?) with mech anime.
the filename summoner makes me think wizards and stuff.

>>6506268
I’d say high beg
The mech is cool but the anatomy on the girl is awful. The color theory needs a ton of work and your rendering of forms is awful. You clearly need to understand the forms you’re working with

>>6506409
just before I made a sketch with the wizard lady, I liked it so I made something along those lines.

>>6506437
Is really THAT bad to you? looking at it, the only thing that really dissatisfied me is the right arm, it looks kind of stiff. About the rendering stuff, I dont know what you mean, I used an articulated doll for light reference.

>>6506492
To be honest this character design is stupid. Definitely /beg/.

>>6506492
NTA. You dont see it now, but if you study hands, feet, and figures intensely, and really studying them (actively mentally engaging with it while also drawing from other master artists) for about 3 months and come back to this stuff, you will absolutely see what the other anon is talking about.

>>6506492
the shadows on her ass and legs are especially notable, but general anatomy all around like her arm proportions and whatever the fuck is going on with that entire right arm is really notable.

the mech also lacks symmetry, which for a mech is kinda a big deal.

its not complete trash or anything, but its also massively lacking in a lot of areas you definitely need to work on.
honestly what i hate the most is the color/value balance because especially looking at the thumbnail you almost can't even tell the girl is there, she just melts into the mech due to the identical colors and values.

>>6506437
>>6506518
>>6506512
I can see how the girl blends into the mech on the thumbnail.
I don't think the color scheme is necessarily a bad thing. Contrasting colors isn't always necessary. It really depends on what you are going for.

but im not good at drawing people so im probably not qualified enough to comment on the anatomy of the robot and chick.

>>6506539
You can keep the same colors but you'll still need to up the contrast with values or saturation or add in something to break up the 2 objects such as a billboard or something stupid.

>>6506268
>>6506539
>>6506542
Honestly I think just adding a bit of atmospheric perspective on the mech helps a lot with the two figures blending together, and it isn't a big change to how the image is colored.

>>6506492
Mid int at least
>>6506557
High int

>>6495388
Hello Beg, I feel you lot just need to be more confident on your art. I consider myself a mid to high level beg with a measureable amount of success. The problem is most of the time people dont have an interesting story to tell, everything is repetitive and bland and uninsteresting, you what I mean?

I am not saying I am a world class storyteller, of course not, but I have an audience(its bloody important to KNOW your audience) and although my art is not perfect, its engaging. My style is strongy influenced by manga and anime too.

So, if you are interested in some tips, here's a video offering some tips for begs I did a while ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC1YwpONTyg&ab_channel=Remeoshiofficial

Also if you are interested you can check out my books on amazon at:
https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Remeoshi-worlds-last-hope/dp/1916487629?

So just get out there and kill it, alright? Dont mind the haters.

kek, you had me in the first half of your post, saved for my /ic/ comedy folder

rate out of 10. Spent like an hour, no reference. Don't worry about her hands, im not retarded, she has 6 fingers by lore. The second picrel are my oc too, drew them for like two minutes each, no reference either why tf you would even need reference for such pose and simple characters

>>6506668
Lost one pic

>>6506668
>>6506669
>why tf you would even need reference for such pose and simple characters
Because without them, drawings end up looking like yours.

>>6506668
honestly the drawing reads weird, hard to understand wtf you're looking at, when it clicks it looks like 50 percent better but it's probably the hair that makes the perspective not read well straight away, it doesn't look at all like hair even for anime. Hair has a flow to it, this acts more like a bolt of lightning or something

>>6506668
>why tf you would even need reference for such pose and simple characters
kek

>>6505733
high pro

>>6496847
are you retarded, pyw

>>6506776
I wanted to give hair an unique messy look because her hair are way thicker then humans, and behave more like fur, but i didn't pay attention to them and didn't care how they look, more like just making a shape, so i didn't even colour them. It also looks blurry because i suck at lineart and i draw with pencil and on that picture the direct light of a table lamp is shining on grafite which reflect light and basically disappear partially

Is there anything i can study to become better? Im self taught and already studied anatomy and perspective so i pretty much just able to draw any poses from my imagination. But i cant find my own style and don't want to copy anyone else's, so my drawings don't look appealing while being technically correct. Also adhd doesn't let me draw too many details which matter

Or maybe im just a low int imbecile and all my guesses are dogshit and i just draw bad. But anyways help me with advice of to get better and find my own style

>>6506984
Solid beg, just grind ur fundies more. You bothered to color it so that automatically makes you more based than every lazy retard who posted wips in this thread expecting to be r8'd.
>>6507046
High beg. Did you trace that body? The face doesn't really seem to work for me
>>6507798
Solid int

Before people come foaming at the mouth I just want to explain why things got rated higher or lower than others.
>unfished work
If you're gonna post in a r8 thread, show us your best, not sketch#83738 you post and never finish. Even if you avoid coloring because you're bad, or you don't know shading, well then you know what you have to work on then, you don't need some anonymous retard spoon feeding advice
>lack of backgrounds
Some pieces had better poses than others, some had better rendering, but it's hard to rate anyone past Mid int if all you draw are characters on a blank canvas and nothing else. Draw the setting! Where are they? What are they doing? Tell a story with the background. I understand some don't for various reasons, from not being able/not knowing what to do for a background to a background sometimes not being necessary for a certain piece. I understand that, just don't get upset if you're rated lower than someone else you think you are better than because they had the balls to do a background
>styles and tastes
There were a couple of styles I rated highly for a simple reason. They work. They look good, they convey their character/tone/emotion well enough. Just because someone draws in a photo realistic style, doesn't mean his picture is automatically a tier above someone with a simple style. What works, works. Simple as that.

>>6507583
I'm not him actually.
Not sure about the nipples tho.
>>6508077
No, I don't trace.

>>6508062
Thanks for the rating. I only got one before thread kinda stopped doing them, so I appreciate it a lot

>>6508089
Looking at it again, I think the main issue is the lack of rendering. I understand the shading style you are going for, but just understand it's a hard shading style to get right. A few lines shy and the image feels flat. Looking at your anatomy, it doesn't exactly off, just more stiff than anything else. Especially around the upper chest to neck region, which might be where your anatomy falls a bit short of everything else. At first I thought her left arm was shorter than the right, but I realized it's just slightly further back than the rest. The reason why it feels this way though is your choice of shading. Line shading can look super cool but remember you're telling a story with the lines, they wrap around their forms. One of the only bits of advice from a Proko video I actually thought was decent was him explaining poses, and when to exaggerate. Tuck her arm back a bit more, have her lean more heavily on that sword. Arch hee back a bit, twist her hips. Even if it's subtle, it goes a long way. Your job as an artist is to convey a story without saying a word. I don't expect you to change her now at this stage in your drawing, but just try to keep it in mind when you start your next piece.
>>6508096
You're welcome! I'm up late at night and the board was moving slow, so why not right? Which one were you again?

>>6508111
This one lol >>6499544

>>6508111
Oh I didn't expect such a detailed analysis.
Yea hatching is pretty hard for me but hey as long as I study and draw I will improve(I hope haha). I always try to study artists who draw and render in a similar way like Miura and Takehiko Inoue.
Yea my understanding of anatomy ain't great either you're right. Currently reading Hogarth and an anatomy book to get better.
About exaggeration, maybe I'm afraid of breaking a body by doing that. The solution is probably study anatomy more and do more gestures, I think. But I still can't find a way of drawing gestural figures that can click with me, maybe I should just broteforce them, just grind grind and grind, that's what I did with heads.

>>6508111
Forgot to say thanks. I appreciate your reply, anon.

as the other anon said the drawing reads weird, might be the lack of shading or just general composure; linework anatomy etc. look very solid to me (could use more variation in line strength to make it easier to read) but the hand is very generic and flat, if a hand is the centerpiece of the whole drawing then imo it should be more varied and shapely, it is very symmetric and flat and as a result ends up looking kinda grotesque in such size
