People need to stop that dumb argument. Just because you can draw that well or better, doesn't mean you can suddenly come up with interesting/funny characters, story, scenes, writing for years.

OPM (webcomic) is a self-published webcomic though.
That said you're right because Mob Psycho WAS published and that didn't look that much better. There's no high bar of entry in the ajpaense comics industry. I should know, even I've managed to get published and it's not like my art is anything outstanding.

The webcomic still has better paneling than most manga out there.
Just because you can draw better doesn't mean you can suddenly drwa interesting panels or pages or anything that people care about.

No? Look at the neck and shoulders. Far side of her shoulders and neck is wider than the close side and ht neck is misplaced. Looking at it now you'd have to shift in the far side inwards a bit for it to be symmetrical

Yup, if you're trying to be a concept artist, freelance guy, someone who is hired purely for skill of course, grind those fundies and study hard. But if you're trying to make a webcomic, webshow, or something like that good raw drawing skills doesn't mean shit when compared to art direction, aesthetics, character design, worldbuilding, and above all else fucking writing. It's a whole other kind of process and requires loads of creativity and forethought, something even more rare to find in people than good drawing skills.

Horrible changes. You gave leftmost girl a snout and completely flattened the face on the right. Fucked her body up as well, should have just made the back shoulder less visible but you ignored that completely. Unfortunate.

No matter how good I feel about my art compared to One, I do not even come close to holding a candle to his composition and story telling abilities. He is successful for good reason and it's higher quality than anything I've ever made.

Importantly, ONE actually made a product and put it on the internet, something that 99% of /ic/ is too busy grinding loomis heads for the 300th day straight to actually do.

The moral of the story is that if you're waiting to "get good" before you start your project, you're probably never going to start.
Also that knowing how to tell a story and actually having good ideas is 10 times more important than rote mechanical skill.

he got published because murata had an existential crisis because he thought he was dying and pulled strings to secure a publisher IF he redrew it

Here's a page from who I'd consider to be the best artist currently actively published in the same magazine.
When I said "not outstanding", really what I meant was "not the best". I'd say my work is middle of the pack, maybe slightly better than the magazine's average. It's nowhere near as good as the best artists, but there's definitely worse.
But then again it's not like anybody is the best judge of their own work. I look at it and just see all the flaws.

Anyway I really just wanted to say that 4chan in general has a much higher standard for what's consider to be "professional artwork" than magazine editors, AKA the people who make the decision of who's good enough to publish.

Yea, I think you have to master the slower line strokes for this. The ones where you really notice the shaky hands. The fast lines are relatively easy to draw clean, but the slower, longer lines are hard. But you just need them in order to maintain precision and linewidth.
