What step are you on, /ic/?

9 anon.

>>2677457
5 I think, 4 maybe

>>2677457
1-5 are like exactly the same

>>2677457
nice blog post, thanks

>>2677457
1, I don't want to overestimate myself.

>>2677457

8-10 but the image is stupid OP. You can understand value and form without understanding gesture and you can understand gesture without grasping value and form. Plus 1~4 are all the same.

I'm already at 58, fuck this shitty drawings chart.

>>2677489
this

and I am not going to say at what lv I am since the image is too small and can't judge the drawings

5-10 are just different stages of construction and rendering god fucking damn

i see it as
1-scribbles, no thought
2-some idea of anatomy
3-better anatomy, but stiff
4-grasping basics
5-decent basics and dynamic
6-decent basics, dynamic with form
7-decent foundations all around
8-pretty good, fair knowledge of anatomy
9-technically sound, intimite knowlegde of foundations
10-technically sound, beautifully rendered

that being said, i think im at a 6

>>2677506
can someone explain this meme to me?

>>2677457
According to /ic/, step 1.

>>2681000
When an autist tells you to post your work you post that image.

>>2677457

6-7 how can I improve?

According to original source, the 10 steps are actually

>You can hold a pencil and make marks with it.
>You can draw simple geometrical shapes, but you don't control them—they turn out or they don't. You can also trace lines from another picture.
>You can draw simple geometrical shapes intentionally.
>You can copy what you see precisely, both in terms of outlines and shading.
>You gather visual references in your mind, so you can draw something without seeing it at the time.
>You perform analysis of the real world, so you can create something new out of chunks of reality (e.g. a human in a pose you've never seen).
>You don't use outlines only, but utilize a whole range of techniques; you can shade realistically and give an illusion of depth and texture without a reference.
>You can draw things that don't look realistic, but they're recognizable as "true" by everyone.
>Your drawings drawn from imagination are indistinguishable from photos and/or they have a style even better than reality. You create new worlds and dimensions with your own mind and pencil, and you do it incredibly fast.
>You can draw everything, and you make unrealistic things feel more real than real ones. There's nothing else you could learn.

currently 9, probably could be a 10 if I wasn't a lazy fuck, but i'm content with where I am right now;

>>2677457
Step 0.

>>2681099
Which is still bullshit, as the gap between "I can make shapes nicely" and "I can draw perfectly using reference" is kilometrical. When I was 15, I was THE kid who could draw perfect triangles without a ruler and not fucking it up, yet to get to Lvl-4 it took me fucking years, I might not even be past it.

It makes sense if you read the original source.

> "[...] As I said before, the distance between levels grows exponentially, which means that with every level it takes more and more time to "upgrade". It also means that the very beginning is easier to handle than later levels, and that surely there are more beginners (1-2) and proficient beginners (3-4) than drawing specialists (5-7). Obviously, there are very few drawing gurus (8-9), and there's no single perfect artist (10), though the "gurus" may hopelessly pursue that level to the end of their lives [...]"

I did read it, it was posted in the "absolute /beg/" memethread. My point is, you can't leave such a gap on a spectrum, it would be like having the pH spectrum go from highly alkaline, to neutral and highly acid acid, skipping everything in between.
/autism.

5-7ish
maybe

9 or 10, but it's a bit of a stupid image and being at 10 isn't indicative of any expertise at art, it just means you can construct and render. You'd probably go through the stages from 5 to 10 on any given drawing even as an intermediate.
