damn /ic/ is not smart.

There is no way he did that when he was 12-13, the fact he had to mention it makes him sound like a faggot even if it is true.

Also even if he did do it then, his art now is shit. Clearly his fundamentals didnt teach him to make good art

No fucking way, that hatching on the skirt and in the background looks horrendous as hell, no way he got that worst in 6 years.

I don't mind believing he was that good at this age, but literally nothing today and with this older drawing shows that's true.

He studied in Surikov institute. Architecture.
Is in US art education really so weak? This is >>2355854 average entry exams for shitty college. People should draw like this in 15-16 yo. In my school there was art circle where 10 -14 yers old kids study art and draw sekkou boys from life. Jesus, I need time machine.

It makes no sense to lose all your ability in line confidence and cross hatching. This skill does not vanish over time. I know kids can be that good at rendering at a young age if forced into it (see pic), but this person has not been

>>2356012
wish my parents forced me to do shit like that

>>2355854
12-13 isn't impressive. should start when you're 4-6 years old. by the time you're 16, you've already practiced for a decade.

>>2355925
We need to consider that many artists can make nice reproductions with references, but can't do shit without them.

>>2355925
Drawing from life is easy. Drawing from imagination is hard. Ateliers and fine art schools are full of kids who can do pretty impressive still lifes but couldn't draw any decent figure from imagination. Much like /ic/ actually.

>>2356025
>Drawing from life is easy

Post your work.

>>2356012
>It makes no sense to lose all your ability in line confidence and cross hatching.

Fine artists learn to copy what's in front of them. There are thousands of artists who can do a nice pencil rendering from reference who can't draw shit from imagination. Not to mention that drawing digitally is much harder than drawing with pencil on paper when it comes to hatching and line confidence. So obviously his pencil drawings from observation look much better than his early digital work from imagination.

Seriously, how new to art are you? Most people can do decent looking studies within the first 6 or so months of picking up art, but are completely terrible for several years when it comes to drawing from imagination. Some never get good at it at all and stick to copying what they see.

>>2356037
see
>>2355911
hatching is clearly done with a pencil and it's beginner tier

I'm shit when it comes to drawing from imagination but at least I learned something about crosshatching after drawing still life with a teacher

>>2356025
>>2356033
It's not easy, not at all, but it sure requires a completely different set of skills.

Yes, you can learn while drawing from life, it's one of the best ways to learn indeed, but only if you try to understand the forms you're drawing instead of simply copying.

>>2356023
>>2356037
>>2356056
Exactly that.

>>2356049
You're comparing a quick, shitty doodle of his to a several hour long, finished still life. I don't see any amazing hatching skills in his still lifes either to be honest. They are just decent, finished renderings. The skill difference between his life drawings and his work from imagination is pretty much what I would expect from most fine art students who spend 99% of their time copying what's in front of them.

Have you watched Proko's christmas special a year or 2 ago where he painted a reindeer from imagination? Yeah, that's the skill level of fine artists who never exercise drawing from imagination. The difference between their pencil work from life and their work from imagination is like night and day. There are hundreds of thousands of these type of artists. Why do you think all art directors explicitly say they don't want to see life drawings and studies in portfolios?

I really feel like a lot of these are totally okay artistically.. like the one of Hermione, Rachael (Blade Runner), the girl in the grey sweater and the cosplay ref... But I guess part of the problem is that he sold most of these as prints, which would conflict with some copyrights.

As much as I would hate to see you dig your grave deeper I will personally say that Krons work does look good and at least he adds more facial features and a painterly style to his art.
The problem I have is him being a hypocrite calling others out when he does the same.

Why /ic/ decides to roast on him and Sakimichi when they could be drawing is beyond me, these threads are just as bad as the E-clebs on /v/

>>2356139
Except he was selling them and called them that after he was called out for it.

You can't be that retarded. The lines aside from the sameface are exactly the same shit, and even the shading have lots of parts like the tits that are pretty much the same shit.

Artist from way centuries ago, did they copy other artist works as well? If they did we would have a lot of Mona Lisas from diff. artist calling it a work of art.
The reason Anons here roast Sakimichi, IIya, and others is that they are great artist painting/drawing but they spend time recreating other peoples IP characters. On top of it selling those "fanworks" or whatever they call them for profit. They may be able to get away with it since they probably aren't in the U.S..
While aspiring artist or other struggling artist are advised to be original and to not infringe or break any IP copyright laws.
No matter what artistic industry or field an Artist is in, Anons here express that artist should always strife for originality.
But artist like Sakimichi, IIya, and others from the evidence and research provided in these types of threads they lack originality.

P.S. Does anyone know what kron looks like? doesn't seem he wants to be taken a picture of? I wonder why?

Don't try to tell artist what they need to draw, shitter. And fan art industry lives in Japan perfectly fine. Anons here roast Sakimichi, IIya because of envy and dunning kruger effect. And most people here are 20 yo kids. So enjoy fanposting and relax. It's relieves stress after drawing.

If you think this is good you're decades away from making it, it's kids art and not particularily gifted kids, just average high-school art level outside the US.
It really isn't strange at all, he's just another drone that had to reprogram himself to be able to draw the chinese cartoons he wanted to draw after years of being told "just Loomis man, everything is possible with Loomis" and then realizing he didn't know shit about design.
Instead of learning design through study he traced, got caught, apologized, made even more fans, and is now living confy drawing his chinese cartoons and comic covers.

The only thing not average about this story is how much money he makes, and how much /ic/ shitposts about him which may have to do with how much money he makes.

there was a kid at ringling that had studied art in schools like that his entire life.

He could render like a mother fucker. But he just had absolutely no creativity at all. All of his illustrations looked amazing but were completely lacking any originality or soul. It was the saddest thing I had ever seen.

>>2357057

Start building that visual library. Drawing what you see and committing that to memory in order to serve as a tool for your own problem solving are two different things. It's like, what would help you learn more: copying down answers given to you just so you can say you wrote them down, or looking for answers to the questions you have so that you better understand your subject of study?

>>2357077
He even draws the same thing over and over again.

don't you have something unique or interesting in your brain that you want to draw? if you can make something without having resort to staring at pre existant things then that would be a good start

>>2357117

Interesting to me yes, but I don't know where to draw 'unique' things from. I find it really difficult to form a finished piece or to know how to construct an environment or anything, I end up just staring at a blank page and doing bargue plates or drawing from a reference.

I'm trying to do this now. Feels like a lost cause though

>credit

lmao no. The whole point is stealing so good no one can tell you did it.

What about sakimichan? Does she trace too? Is there an image like >>2356072 of her art, or what's the problem?

>>2357249
Nah, Sakimichan doesn't trace or copy.

Oh the first picture is from imagination and the 2nd is a photocopy. How does that show any progression at all? Show 2 photocopies or 2 from imagination. Anyone on this board can get the same progression in a day if they wanted to. Just do a quick 15 minute sketch from imagination and spend the rest of the day grinding on a B&W photo. BOOM INSTANT PROGRESSION. So skilled! Amazing artist!!

it barely qualifies as tracing, hands and background are just filtered
