Autistic Improvement Thread

The left side at least looks interesting, 2016 is about as generic '10s cartoon as you can get

>>2768574
would you rather be shit or generic?

>>2768574
>The left side at least looks interesting

It's not interesting at all! It's just fucking disgusting

>>2768580
Well, they are both shit, it's just 2016 also happens to be generic

>>2768582
Oh it's ugly, but still interesting.

this is my nightmare. how can you not improve at all in that much time?

>>2771384
Not practicing enough or learning the fundamentals.

>>2771384
always drawing the same things without ever inching out of your comfort zone, and no instruction whatosever

>>2771384
You remember that first time you posted your art to /ic/ and you got your ass ripped to shreds, even though you worked SO hard on whatever you posted? Then you decided to git gud? This guy missed that step.

>>2771384
If you stay in your comfort zone and don't try to improve you don't improve.

>>2771399
Bullshit. Post a link. I can't believe someone would be impressed by this.

>>2769086
>>2771384
To be fair to this guy, he's really just having fun drawing. I don't think he actually think he's good or anything. I know this is a foreign concept to /ic/, but it's probably true.

>>2771399
Did they draw once every two years?

>>2771384

Gotta agree with it >>2771511. It's a nightmare for you because you want to git gud, that person is just posting scribbles of their favorite animu and doesn't give a fuck for anything else.

These aren't really cringe because of that. People, especially teens, who are posting art for the sake of fandom or just expression without a desire to ever move forward to a career are hardly worth laughing at when their skills are bad, they aren't aiming for anything.

Inflated egos who call themselves professionals while putting out terrible art and, in some cases, charging for it, are free reign.

Fresh OC, don't know her but it was on my instagram suggestions.

She's apparently half con, half retarded improvement. Brief googling showed she claims she did a fine arts course, now she literally "teaches" art and shows at galleries for a hefty sum.

This. If you -need- the eyebrows to convey the emotion you really need to do some gesture and figure drawing.

>>2773322
I think that if he didn't care about improvement, he wouldn't have made the picture to show his.

On the other hand, I can understand people who don't care about improving, but if you really enjoy art, improvement is necessary to be able to fully express yourself.

While I think it's okay to destroy the pieces that softly whisper "please kill me" while you sleep, I also believe it's good to save a bunch for future reference on how bad we were.

Like Zandra Rhodes (famous fashion pattern/graphic artist) says, "if you make a mistake you have to live with it". She's one of my art inspos because besides her graphic work, she forces herself to draw at least one decent pic a day and she has kept them all for over 30 years.

For inspo and pic related, a particular piece she made, I love the palette and shapes. She's a quirky old lady but her patterns are drawn by hand and in one big piece (they're as big as a dining table before sewing).

whether you did or didn't, i think you should work on making a few darker lines not just on the outline of the body. maybe some on the inside of the arm, for example.

Here's the picture I used for reference.

I usually don't add an outline to my drawings but since the sketch didn't have any color or shadows it was kinda hard to see it in contrast to the background, but yeah I think my lines are too light, I need to add more line weight to my drawings.

I think it's important not to tear someone apart to the point of telling them to quit or give up but....yeah. These people are not helping them by patting them on the ass for a total lack of improvement. Even when the artist steps in to criticize herself they just ass pat her more.

>>2783140

Dunno if this means anything but a few years ago my favorite illustrator got caught tracing, her career was absolutely destroyed by this and although her style still resonates with me this hit me pretty hard, it went from me thinking tracing was something people got away with to something that would end any success and recognition you've achieved.

Yeah, most of the stuff people were accusing her for were just reference, but the few pieces like pic related are obviously traces.

>nobody among her fanbase cares
A lot of people did care though, there were countless blogposts about it from the Japanese community, I'm not denying part of the reason why her career was destroyed was because of Japanese culture but still, seeing her go through all that scrutiny and nastiness left a mark in me.

>>2783923
She had no "career" going on whatsoever, she was literally a random pixiv artist, which is the equivalent of a random DA artist in the West.
>Japanese culture
Top kek. Actual professional japanese artists (serialized mangakas etc.) get caught tracing every fucking day. The fanbase doesn't give a shit, their editors and publisher don't give a shit and most definitely they don't give a shit either.
For a famous example, the Ikkitousen artist blatantly traced stuff from Tenjou Tenge (which is a manga with the same themes, so the readers overlaps a lot) among other sources. Said manga has now been adapted into multiple anime series, has an endless amount of figurine made every year, gets cosplayed to no end etc.. So much for "tracing ends your career".
The lesson you should have learned is: if you trace, don't be a pussy and do it with extreme impunity.

>>2783893
her art was shit regardless. soulless anime

>She had no "career" going on whatsoever, she was literally a random pixiv artist
She published several art books, did many album covers, did art for radio dramas and was commissioned for several MVs. I wouldn't say she was as big as I probably thought she was but within the niche vocaloid fanbase she was well-known.

>if you trace, don't be a pussy and do it with extreme impunity.
I suppose... but I'm sure a lot of people have made it without tracing.

>>2783933
I hated her style the first time I saw it because it was the first time I had ever seen Josei, but I started to see the appeal and now it's almost exclusively the kind of manga I read.

I always loved the way she did the photobashing even if it seemed lazy, her attention to detail was really nice too.

yes there's lots of SJW cringe on tumblr, but that's really only a subsection of it. Just ignore that shit. A lot of artists actually use it as a decent platform to blog their stuff. I find it useful as a place to archive some of your work and gain exposure if you don't do any other social media site.

That'/ actually pretty decent for three months of essentially starting from nothing if this was just a casual artist.
You see they attempted to gesture the face, but still doesn't understand anything. They probably only learned the lines on the circle trick casually browsing about. Still a start.

>fujoshi artist goes full shamefur display, commits honorable internet sudoku because FEMALES BRAIN

I think it is indeed a shame to fully copy a reference.

If you aren't capable of drawing something on your own and you use references as a straight copy source, you're basically admiting you're a shitty artist.

Funniest part is I know this 20 something girl who is legitimately mentally challenged (just relatively low IQ but she can still function in very simple jobs) who doodles cartoon characters for years on end with no teacher and she has a good basic grasp of construction, animation, good line-art, etc. She's probably better than most of /ic/.

I find her very inspiring for that reason.

I wouldn't be so negative.
That is significantly better art thats being posted in this thread.
I do have to say I like something about the May 2016 drawing more than the newer one for some reason.
They're both pretty good but I think I just like the older one's style better.
I will say for both as well that there's something off about their forms, the dinosaur looks kinda wonky in both of them due to the shape.
I'm no pro but I'm not terrible at art so you can choose how to take this reply!

Don't treat it like it's something impressive. 3 years is a lot of time and yet he's still a subpar artist. Especially considering he did only pornshit, he didn't even manage to master anatomy

Dude, I don't want to be rude but your progress is almost inexistent. It's even worse considering you had 3 years. You should start being more serious about art if you want to achieve something. Read the sticky

>>2807519
oink oink

>>2807618
Thank you for the honesty. I really just draw when I feel like it as opposed to actually pushing myself to learn, as you could see I guess. I post in /beg/ and rarely ever get responses.

I've read the sticky and done some Loomis but I always start shit and never finish it so yeah, I guess the product shows.

All of those are studies from photos, my imagination progress would probably make you vomit.

>>2807636
Yeah the nose is fucked, went way too hard on my measurement lines. My dumbass fault for using a pen.

>>2807665
Don't directly jump into Loomis, start with keys to drawing. A basilar thing when drawing from reference photos is measuring and constructing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzDGO0LssEM this video gives you an idea of what I'm talking about

>>2807519
>>2807665

You kind of need to know what you're doing before you do it with pen, so I'd hold off on that for a while. You're having some basic problems with edges and values that really need to be solved if you don't want your stuff to look like basic beginner work. Just try to make an effort to do some real studies, maybe avoid human subjects for a bit, work through keys to drawing by Bert Dodson, and just do a ton of still life value studies. Work in masses of tone and avoid hard lines around the edges of things unless those actually exist in the subject. Keep lines to very light measurements for your lay-in. Be really patient with your lay-in to make sure you're drawing things exactly as they are, and that you're not cutting corners in favour of a symbol that kind of looks like what you're drawing but isn't really the real shape. If you need to spend hours and hours on something to get it right, put the time in. A lot of those 4-12+ hour efforts I made earlier on were the ones where the real progress was made, it's all attention to detail and patience. Just try that for a few months and I think you'll really start to 'get' some fundamental things that you're missing.

You don't want to carry on the way you've been going because you'll be spinning your wheels. Just keep your enthusiasm up and buckle down.

Doxxy looks like Jon Tron iirc.

"She "sure has a manly as fuck voice then

>>2809844
In the earlier videos couple years ago you can tell it's a female voice that was manually lowered in Audacity. It wasn't a natural male voice. Doxy probably went on HRT because the voice changed and he sounds better now, and it doesn't take too long for testosterone to kick in (going from male to female is much harder).

Not that it makes him less of an artist, but your friend wasn't completely off when he said his favorite female artist was doxy.

Mate considering no one else wants to say it, you are fucking shit at art. You've wasted a year an a half of your time if you were ever really trying during that time. What you need to do if you want to get good at this is relearn nearly everything. Your perspective is shit, you draw symbolically and you have no sense of light or value.

I'm not going to pussyfoot like those other anons patting you on the back for a job well done when you've clearly haven't payed attention to what ever you've been using to learn.

Do you want to see improvement or do you want your e-dick sucked off? Do yourself a favor and pick up a book, compare your current skills to active artists and strive to become one of them or fuck off to DA.

No one has patted me on the back for sure, so thanks, I would rather not be talked down to like a child getting his crayon scribbles put on the fridge.

I haven't dedicated time to actually learning and have just been fucking around I guess, I'm not very driven. Not an excuse, just the truth, and I know I'll never make it unless I rip my ass into routine. Thanks again.
