I don't wanna be rated again. Maybe next month.

>>7651869
Yeah. Don't feel ready for it neither. Other begs can have fun.

Don't have much. I've barely drawn these past few months

>>7651859 (OP)
nah, I had my fill of being called low /int/ for a while

high /beg/ mentality:
>>7651946

I'm high /int/ but you're too scared to call me that

>>7651952

>>7651859 (OP)
i feel like pl threads should have a thread challenge to be judged upon

>>7651859 (OP)
I'm low /beg/ and hating every second of this torturous existence. I've only begun recently and I know it'll take a long time crawling through the muck to get this shit down. Currently just working to understand how to critique my own scribbles in a way that'll direct me towards better understanding my fundamentals.

>>7651960
this is a good idea. I also feel like there should be multiple things everyone has to provide. it could be different, but for instance, a figure drawing, a portrait drawing, and a landscape or architectural drawing; mediums can vary.

Reminder:
skill level

appeal

Don't take this thread too seriously. Draw, have fun, work on your specific goals.

I unfortunately don’t have a lot of my older work anymore but here’s stuff from the past 2 weeks plus an old one I found, most of it was drawn for art fight.
Sorry about the crappy quality as well I usually draw on a big canvas so has to scale them down so the file size was small enough

blogposting about your insecurities and hardships is a /beg/ trait btw

why am i so lazy?

I posted last time right as the thread was going to die. I havent drawn in like a month, but started sketching again last night to get back into the swing of it.

>>7651946
thats a good rating though? Executing drawings with success and proficiency in fundamentals is good? I only consider myself to be like mid to high beg, so maybe im just not understanding the ratings.

>>7651988
Last thread they said I was too soft, so for legal purposes :

>>7651942
low int and very appealing

>>7651982
low int. Cant rate animation cuz I know shit about it, gj anyways.

tentative low int, but you've not really shown much other than figure sketches.

>>7651995
the technical drawing is low to high beg, but is saved by rendering. You need to focus on your solid drawing skills. In particular, the hips and legs are not attached to the body, and the proportions overall are weird. Especially the hand size and face is really small. I do love the effort ngl. You are going to make it.

>>7651982
My instinct is low int. I'm not keen on your rendering on the top right. There is not much variety in subject matter, as it's mostly girl in the void drawings.

>>7651971
I'd place you high beg personally. I absolutely love your clown girl on 11/7/2025, and the face on 16/7. I think you failed on the face angle on 8/7, but you put in a lot of effort so i think you will make it too

High beg, I think you should work on forms and perspective

>>7652391
You're getting there but your proportions need a lot of work. For example, you're making hands massive. The arms on the bottom image are weirdly exaggerated. I'd also agree with the other anon to work on form. The leg on the right image that the cloth wraps around isnt done well.

Thing I just got done with. where do I sit?

>>7653154
high /int/. the rendering could use a little more work, and in parts (around the face, say) the line weight seems random, but overall your understanding of construction, anatomy, and value is very good.

>>7653155
A bit sad replying to yourself, no? Let's hope people get the joke this time huh?

>>7653158

Trying to claw myself out of pre/beg/ hell. Couldn't find a ref for the pose on the right so I tried to fold her myself

Wtf you niggers didn't even crit my pose

>>7652928
Giving >>7652406 low beg, just confirmed that nobodys opinion here is of any value at all
Thanks

>>7652864
high /beg/. the airbrushing feels a bit tacked on due to the lack of hard edged shadows
>>7652955
high /beg/. feels ambitious but there are a few errors in the perspective that makes it feel flat—bed legs, sandman's belt, etc
could also use some wrinkles on his clothes on the lifted arm
>>7653148
high /beg/. the shadows lack contrast I think, they're too light compared to the background. it's also lacking cast shadows (from the tits and thigh plates mostly), you only painted the form shadows. face could be more mecha-like as well
>>7653394
it's still very /beg/ I'm afraid. you need more mileage
>>7653399
i'd say mid /beg/. feels like you know what to omit from the reference in order to achieve a more appealing drawing but at the same time there's a lot of symbol drawing

>>7653661
high /beg/. Good lineart but looks a bit flat.

Last couple of drawings, trying to make an OC

>>7653663
He might be from /lsg/ but he's better than that.

I have this one with me.

Pilotredsun vibes

>>7653661
interesting. so if I hadn't done the background, where would that put me? I kinda smashed the city background in at th last moment, so not suprised it doesn't fit well.

What about this other picture I did awhile back? I put way more effort into this and built the background in from the get-go.

>>7653663
How is it flat?

Watch yo neck around the glocktopus

>>7654364
Who are you this is amazing

>>7654364
erm... le why wouldn't those two webbed portions towards the bottom, which turn away from the light, be in shadow?

>>7653668
low /int/ - Not really enough to go on, I'd be inclinded to say mid or high /int/ if your colours and backgrounds are on the same level as this

>>7653756
Mid /int/ - Some parts of this piece are amazing while others are quite bad, it's clear that painting is your main focus but imo there's not enough depth and contrast in certain points and I'd love to see a bigger hue shift in the shadows just to bump that contrast up further. I also think your facial anatomy is lacking especially where the jaw lines up to the ears on the two figures facing the viewer. I really enjoy how you've done the background.

>>7654364
High /beg/ - Another one where I'm not sure if there's enough to give a correct score. The shadows are amazing on this but certain points make it clear you're not as confident in other aspects, your lineart is quite shaky at some points, in the knot of bandana and in the longer curves of the tentacles. The perspective on the eyes is also quite off and they dont match at all. The guns also feel quite rudementary when compared to the rest of the piece but overall this is very appealing its just a matter of having more line confidence and to better study your references.

I guess /ic/ liked me better when I was insecure, these are from last year

Sorry for not resizing

>>7654402
Lol thanks but it's not that good I'm noone
>>7654430
Mistakes were made
>>7654448
Octopus guy here. Thanks for the feedback, this is why I post on /ic/. Any advice on how to improve lineart and line confidence? I am a bit lacking in that regard and I don't really know which resources to turn to.

>>7654485
nta but what have you drawn recently, like this year?

>>7654488
Not much, but I've been meaning to get back into it. This one is the most recent, apart from really quick 10min doodles.

>>7654485
To improve the lineart just start by drawing loads of straight lines then curved lines, circles and squares, its not the most fun practice but it'll help loads. Its a matter of building up stabilisating and muscle memory. It may also help to study technical drawings and start copying them, arcitectural and furniture construction drawings things like tables and building with lots of clear lines.

You can also look up tattoo line tutorials, since the whole art form is rooted in lines there is a lot of resources that focus on improving line quality that can be adapted to traditional art.

im too blind to rate other people

Show us one of your completed works

>>7654695
nta, but what's the longest you've worked on an individual drawing? that would, hypothetically, be more indicative of your full capabilities than a handful of quick(er) sketches.

>>7654821
>nta
why?

>>7655023
why am I not that anon? or are you asking in reference to the rest of my reply? I would assume the latter, but you only quoted "nta".

>>7655027
"nta" is a phrease used by retarded newfags who don't know that it's retarded to say that on an anonymous forum. Just say what you have to say

>>7655033
I don't care whether you personally think it's retarded

>>7654647
Do you have finished work? Or have you spent one year just doing studies?

I spent three months drawing my oneshot instead of grinding fundies, technically two months since I got sick and had to take a month off :c

I think I got better at making comics overall.

>>7655035
it's also retarded from an objective standpoint, but you'll ignore that or poohpooh it for some reason

>>7655044
>it's also retarded from an objective standpoint

>>7655065
>if you're going to pretend like there's no argument in there then you've conceded to my argument
an assertion is not an argument, and your assertion is your own fee fees
>Either that or you're a genuine idiot
ironic coming from you

>>7655067
you're clearly desperate to use "nta" on an anonymous imageboard, which is senseless since there is no proof that you are who you say you are in the first place. Go on and be wrong. Continue to post like a retard and see only what you want to see

>>7655069
DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

>>7655069
>which is senseless since there is no proof that you are who you say you are in the first place
no one said you could prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, but if it aids in its intended goal - having the other anon assume that you are in fact a different anon - it served its purpose.

Post your work and stop bickering!

>>7652864
You play on the VM servers?

>>7655072
also, by your own logic, every qualifier which was founded on a person's internal state would be "senseless" because you can't "prove" that they're being genuine. like someone saying they are a different anon, someone - online or even irl - saying something like "I don't mean to be rude" is "senseless" because whether or not you believe them is ultimately an assumption, regardless of how confident you are given the evidence. obviously these things are heuristics, but that doesn't mean they can't have general efficacy.

Thanks, haven't heard about him for a long time. He has really nice covers on the songs he produces
>>7654448
Thank you for confirming what I had feared, and giving praise where it was due. I've yet to master the color wheel but I am trying hard, also now that you mention it, the contrast is lacking in some areas. I'll start working on my facial anatomy too. Hope to see you in the next thread or the one after that, I'll resubmit the illustration when I correct the mistakes.
This one I recently started so I can study metal and contrast, it uses around a third of the color wheel (warm tones) + a few cold values

low /int/ because it would be able to get you low paying art jobs back in the early 2000s but nowadays you have a lot to go before getting to that point.

>>7655041

>>7656622
kill yourself

>>7651859 (OP)
my art often gets ignored, I usually assume because it looks too much like AI or I just lack general appeal

>>7656878
I think you're talented, but it's just so boring. It evokes no emotion.

>>7656899
Would doing interactions between characters help in that? Or maybe better composition with more emotive faces

>>7657010
no, it's that the characters are barely stylized. Of course they look like characters, but their composition says "There's this character I want to draw, here it is" rather than "this is what I think about the character". It's great that you're good enough to develop a cogent style, but you need to develop it. What you have right now is boring

>>7656878
High /beg/ - you're rendering process is very nice, its appealing for sure but you seem to ignore it once it comes to the face. Because of this the pieces in the top row work much better because the viewer has a clearer idea of the facial plains. I think the other main issue is how you approach necks, you're mostly drawing muscly women but their necks are too small to work with the style you're doing. You also need to work on the perspective around the collar bone to the shoulder facing away from the camera (i wish I could give clearer critique here but thats something I also struggle with I can just see that youre making similar mistakes to me). The top left and middle pieces are definitely the most advanced and on there own id be inclined to give an /int/ rating instead. You can polish but some of your fundamentals just aren't there yet making your work look unbalanced. Try and compare the top left and middle to the bottom middle and right and maybe you'll get a clearer idea of what's working and what's not within your process.

Low /beg/ probably. I still draw with a mouse.

>>7657110
Nah more like midbeg. Also it's appealing, you'd probably do well on social media.

>>7656584
i dont know how to rate furries but she looks very nice
>>7656878
again i dont know how to rate furry shit but for the humans i agree with the other posters for the most part, you draw appealing faces with acceptable anatomy (besides the necks), but its just not very interesting. try backgroundmaxxing and make characters actually do something instead of whitevoiding.
>>7657110
it has appeal, its hard to make out whats going on in the more colorful stuff though. i would like to see your power with a tablet, are you going to get one? for now i'd say midbeg because you have an idea of anatomy, colors, and a little perspective, but its hard to rate it any higher

i'd rate myself mid/high beg, still lots of shit to work on, but curious to see if you guys disagree with me or not

7656704
I don't think I will, friend.

>>7656389
Most of my comic files are too big to put here, but that was just one page out of the entire comic. I'm a bit rusty on anatomy/rendering due to how much time I spent drawing in black and white.

>>7656384
You need to be able to do more than studies in order to be marketable.

>>7656384
The only really good stuff he has are studies. The other stuff is mediocre at best. You need to be able to do more than that in order to be marketable.

Last time I posted on one of these threads, I was told I was mid beg, have I improved or nah?

>>7651859 (OP)
You'll be surprised how many pros are there who have the technical skills of a low /int/.

Art as a career doesn't really require much. You just need to not be retarded. Don't make this an excuse to neglect your fucking art skills though because your co-workers are going to hate you for being a shitter.

>>7657421
>>7656384
Feedback appreciated.
Where should I start to focus now? Doing more studies and I'm starting to also study the work of artists I really like.

>>7657592
My suggestion for people that have trouble drawing from imagination (I feel that's the case for you, but it's hard to tell by looking just at a few drawings) is to focus on perspective and gesture studies.
By internalizing perspective it becomes intuitive to construct figures and other objects in your head in any position you want (of course you also need to have a good grasp on anatomical proportions for that), while doing gesture/croquis studies will improve your line confidence.
You are already very good at drawing from observation, you should use that at your advantage when doing gesture studies.
You're on the right path, I think you just need to improve your confidence. This comes with mileage.

You're very good anon. Do you consider this finished, or do you do more?

>>7657592
I don't have perfect advice as I'm probably a lower level than you are. I think you have good skill and potential.

Maybe try to get out of your comfort zone and use perspective next. Try using blender or pose apps for help. Good old fashioned perspective grids will do nice too. There was some old program by the name of Carapace v1.0 that I found from Incase. But if you use procreate that's good too.

other than that I guess just keep going. Your art is clear (for the most part, the tyler is hard to see from a distance. try squinting or zooming out on your own art and see if it still reads.)

Oh and don't get bogged down by brushes. Try to swap brushes around and get used to working with your tools rather than overworking and trying to make your brush work for you.

>>7657781
My only complaint is that you spend too much time on one piece.

>>7657820
thank you! and yes i considered it finished, i'll gladly take any crit for any parts that seem lacking though

thanks but the intention wasn't to pull my punches, that drawing was just the last thing I had drawn then. maybe it's worth pushing it further and throw some colors at it after all
here's something a little more elaborate meanwhile
>>7654222
yeah those shadows are much better imo. probably because the reflected light is dim enough to keep the shadows dark
I feel your rendering is overall quite nice but the faces are holding your drawings back. I still think a more mecha-like face with no mouth would go hard

>>7663221
did you learn faces/heads from anyone specific?

Great line work and mostly good all around, but the wonky perspective flattens the image, especially the face.

>>7663231
thanks. that's a fairly common critique anons give me too. I have no idea how to fix that problem though as it's seemingly present in about everything I draw

>>7663245
you drew it all in a front perspective but the face is somehow in the perspective as if youre looking from down, the guitar as well
looks weird

>>7663245

the line work is not great, you need to do more observation.

thoughtless lines.

this is my issue with /ic/ people miss the point of fundies. its meant to get results on finished work.
ocd fixing and "correcting" as you go is not a way to get interesting or compelling result.


THINK

WHY are these contour lines at the leg bolder than everywhere else?

WHY HAVE YOU DETAILED THE BANDAID??

think about every line im not joking

people make fun of my abstract art because its childish, but I think through every line.

pro doent mean exceptional.

Im a pro artist. My art is on someone's wall and they fought to have it there.

thats crazy to me. my stuff is really not that good relative to the high level artists I follow.

I will return in a month or so for the next schizo rant, hopefully a little better, little sharper
