principally you are doing a partially physical activity, so in a sense you are "lifting weights", even if they're just pencil weight and you're making other motions then you do when lifting weights

I have a similar thought on people who call their near finished work "doodles". I used to be one of those people, but seeing other people do it made me realize something - they're all ashamed of judgement being passed on their work, they change up the phrasing because it's easier to handle.
Even if it only took 30 minutes for you to render and noodle around, own up to it. Art, science, and language are very closely intertwined - and in all three, we make declarative statements that can be falsified. If we do not, we can never be wrong, and we can never build.

>autism
Im going to call them warmups because thats what they are. Are you going to be okay?

>>2923130

That's not similar at all, are you in the right thread?

I call my sessions sets and my quicksketches reps, whatcha gonna do about it, m8? I have a tub of creatine that I use as hand chalk for a better pencil grip.

Fight me irl, faggot, se what happens.

>fully rendered illustration that took 6 hours to make
"here's a sketch XD"

>>2922769
people use the term "warmup" for all sorts of non-sports activities, you autistic fuck.

>>2922769
That's what they're called, though. Musicians call their day's beginning exercises warm-ups too.

>>2923164
In calling something what it clearly isn't to evade criticism? I'd say it's pretty similar.

Should just make a general bitching thread tb h f am

>>2923130
Why though? If something took 30 minutes, had no initial planning stages or goal, and you don't intend on revisiting or improving it, why call it an illustration and not a sketch? Bells and whistles or parts of it looking good doesn't suddenly make it not a sketch.

nah it's to impress normies, that's why nobody ever shows reference and all art streamers start off with a finished line drawing

>>2923269
you clearly haven't seen enough different art streamers, some have reference open on their screen and show the process from scratch
the ones you're talking about are probably some trash tier artists that trace a pose from a photo before painting it

>>2923269
>nah it's to impress normies
Maybe if the artist's entire body of work is called a sketch. Never seen that though. Most of the time there is a distinct difference in planning, polish, intent, and overall execution between something that's a sketch and something that isn't.

>that's why nobody ever shows reference
Unless a piece is slavishly copied from an existing source, it's pointless to list off everything used as a reference. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if an artist drew a horse well, that they consulted reference and/or learned what a horse looked like now or sometime in the past.

>all art streamers start off with a finished line drawing
Don't know who you're watching then, but I haven't seen that.

>>2923248
>why call it an illustration and not a sketch?
Because what a lot of people mean by call something a "sketch" or a "doodle", you're saying "I didn't put much effort into this". You're implying that this is not your full effort and that this piece is disposable.
I don't care about your half effort, I want to see your full effort. If you could do that in "30 minutes", I want to see you do more than that.
I'm not necessarily referring to actual sketches when I say this, but the terminological roadblocks that beginners and intermediates place infront of themselves to avoid confronting their limitations is a large proponent of what holds them back.

You're not impressing anyone. If you're trying to impress me with what you did in "30 minutes", I am going to tell your get back to work. There is no such thing as a "doodle" anymore.

>>2922821
Yes you are you stupid faggot. Drawing is a physical SKILL, a large part of it is muscle memory. When you warm up, you are warming up your muscle memory.

Stop fucking your sister for two seconds and read a book.

>>2923694
Are you triggered that someone drew something in 30 minutes that would take you 7 months? I'm sorry it takes you 17 hours to finish a sketch.

>>2923694
I can see your point if someone literally only posts sketches, but that's pretty rare. If you're only referring to beginners then you should have stayed that clearly from the getgo.

In situations where people showing their art actually matters (i.e. they're not a beginner) then the distinction between sketch and illustration is important, especially for the viewer who might provide critique, or a prospective client. A sketch says that the artist invested only a fraction of the work and planning time (if any) towards a piece, and that it isn't representative of their full skill set

>>2922769
Lol you dumb fuck, fingers have muscles in it.
Good thing we had /fitlit/

>>2923694

There's no wrong way to do art. Like speech or writing, you can do it briefly, enormously, informal, or formal. If you're unironically offended by the limited amount of time that they spent into doing a piece, then that's your problem. Not anyone else.

>>2922769
You're right bro. I hate that.

I'll comment more l8tr but I've been grinding all evening and now ima do a cool-down sketch...
