>artist draws an amazing piece >go check their profile

everyone can have good ideas , just not all the time in most cases.

you can't always draw to the same quality/goals
not all people have the same taste

why the shit thread?

Because art is about evolution. That one amazing piece could not have happened without all those other shitty pieces.

Two kinds of people in this world.

OP.

You just gave it no thought.

It's because the artist is posting bad and mediocre art. You answered your own question. SOme artists just post everything they paint and draw, which is in most cases mediocre or bad. All those pro artists who make 25k a year only share the "good stuff". which makes them look so much better than they actually are,they paint shit art all the time, we just don't see it.

If you're talking about a difference in technical skill, often times an artist will have a break-through piece where things they studied previously finally fall into place and it will look much better than anything they've done prior to that.

If it's only ONE piece, that reaaaallly pops out from other pieces from same artist in quality, then you can call it "lucky strike" or he used a lot of references or he spend waaay more time on thst piece than other.

Anyway, there is ALWAYS reason behing inconsistency (probably spelled this wrong). And keep in mind that what clients are looking for is only quality in CONSISTANT work.
When you show them your portfolio, your skills will be judged by you worst work in it. You probably know that.

But like you said.. its in all art fields, not just drawing and painting.
Musician also hit that "lucky strike".
What lucky strike is good for is promotion.
I bet you know one or two good songs from one band and don't know other songs from them or don't like them.

Buuut for some reason, when person hits that lucky strike in drawing or painting, all the questions cumes up: "how could he draw that considering his skills?" Etc

If you draw 1000+ shitty drawings, you are bound to eventually draw something decent by mistake.

>>2707656
underrated post

>Why does this happen?

In my case it's because maybe 1 in 10 (probably a bit optimistic even) drawings I put full effort into and apply what I learned in the other 9 drawings.

Then I do a bunch more drawings that are experimental/half-assed/unfinished. Rinse and repeat.

The really consistently good artists have usually found their stride, but you'll notice that in most (but not all) cases their work has consistent quality due to a consistent subject matter/palette/style/etc. They've got that shit on lockdown, but consistency can stifle creativity at times.

Also there's no accounting for taste. Some of my favorite drawings flop on social media, then I'll post a shitty sketchdump and people will eat it up.

Hmm well i used to post daily for a year total garbage, deleted it all when i realised how bad it was, 6 month hiatus post some mediocre. 6 month hiatus post new stuff thats better. Boom theres your situation look at upload dates

>artist produces a wide range of work, extremely varied.
>some 4chan faggot finds one of their pieces that especially caters to his tastes
>Since artist is so varied, very few of his pieces fit this faggot anon's personal faggotry
>Anon goes online to bitch about how the artist is shit because not all of the artist's art caters specifically to the princess of 4chan

Some people are still trying to find their style and what works best for them.

>>2707749
This is true...

Infact many actually make less than minimum wage.

You only make minimum wage if you work for 100$ a painting. If you can't snag a 300$ job, you shouldn't be painting in the first place.

It's better to work at Walmart and do fundamental studies in your free time than to get shit in your eyes, mouth, and hair and never get better.

>>2707656
this

>>2709712
It depends on your skill and how you market yourself. It IS a competitive market you know? This is why the fundamentals are important. Sets you apart from the garbage unless you just draw fanart
