99% of /ic/ can't draw a floating loomis head, so they cope by insisting rendering is totally easy anyway but also gay so they won't do it although they definitely could if they tried, which they won't because it's beneath them
/ic/ is literally:
80% howies or /beg/s.
19% social media whores shilling their derivative animu/moe blob style and stagnating digital fags
1% actual good artists (who are all trad)

most of us simply don't have the skills to do it
but once you learn how it's made, you probably won't want to spend 100s of hours rendering anyways

Ruan Jia would spend several months on a single study, back in the day
The average anon invests that kind of time in shitposting instead
It's a digital drawing. Just turd-polish it for days until you have the result you want. Abuse texture brushes. Color sliders. Liquify. Layer modes.
I'd be impressed by it if it was painted on a real canvas. This is just a waste of time.

I slathered my cock on the display tablet, as I came it made a perfect, white silhouette of the image. Thank you for telling me how to render like that man. Also as a side effect I've also became the best MGE player and now I'm ass-fucking medic twinks in real life.

not enough learning resources, it doesn't help that the term "rendering" makes searching for it impossible because of 3D, I also curse the retards who attached that term to "cutting a character out of some background".

the technique of course, the brush strokes and the layering.
some artists can do a fairly good render with minimum brush strokes, while others rely on boring grids, the later technique is effective but very stale, it's no different than painting pixel by pixel.

Hyperrrealism always seemed too boring and tedious to me. It's cool that some artists paint like this, but it's not my goal to do this. I always just wanted to draw manga and do some nice simple illustrations. Not spend hours on every pixel of the image.
