It’s weird, his work always has a janky line wonkiness, lack of depth or planes and off proportions that makes me think he’s /beg/, but there’s always top tier appeal, comp and great design going on. I love this guy!

What kind of paper are you using? Depending on the paper, it can be almost impossible to get a flat wash or smooth gradation.

I have two moleskine sketchbooks and both have different paper, and one of them is very much not suited to washes. I'm pretty sure neither is, but I've only tried on one.

I mean I can kinda see what he means by janky line wonkiness but I wouldn't categorize it as a detriment more than a cross hatch style. No idea what he's on about with lack of depth or off proportions though

>>5188271
Thanks for turning me onto this guys art. He's very creative.

>>5194366
Basically. How creative and appealing is the idea/style/aesthetic of image is far more important than having perfect skill. A random example of this is Timothy von Rueden (vonnart, picrelated).

If you analyzed his art you'd find that most of the drawings have no real value structure, no strong separation/grouping of light and dark values, no definite light source. Its like he uses values more for aesthetic effect than creating a sense of form catching light and casting shadow, and it doesn't matter because the style and the designs are really appealing to people. 300k+ followers.

I also find it interesting that looking at Andrew Mar's instagram, his ink drawings like OP posted get way more of a response from his followers than his fully rendered paintings that he does professionally for Wizards. Partly because people often prefer drawings vs paintings, partly because its sexy coom fantasy characters.

With hatching it isn't always shading, it also shows spots of texture. If he had left that blank and white it would have looked like she had giant fat sausages for legs even worse than the thick legs she has going on.

[Anonymous No.5194612]

>>5194600
Believe it or not, it takes a lot of skill to make something breathraking with minimal lines on paper to work with. No rendering to hide mistakes behind. Just ink. The human eye likes imperfections because it makes it more impressive how it almost tricks the eye but doesn't completely so we can tell it isn't real.

[Anonymous No.5194632]

It’s a thing. People like Peter Han are popular just by doing ink drawings, and he doesn’t really draw sexy characters either. People like both full blown paintings as well as cool drawings, with little to no color even, so I don’t think you have to become a master painter to become popular. I used to think that but its not really true

[Anonymous No.5194867]

>>5194832
Yeah I think that's part of it. Plus it may be more likely to get taken down if you emphasize the nips and fully render them vs just subtly suggesting them like you would in a sketch

She also draws shit that borders on bestiality too so that may be part of it.

I like JAW Cooper a lot but I dont get how she's so good at drawing animals but her human characters are so gross and unappealing. They're all lanky and nearly anorexic.
