Yeah, knowing what you actually want to draw instead of some vague "I wanna draw" goal yields results, who knew.

I don't necessarily like the direction he went, but it was clear he had a direction. This is a great demonstration of what you can accomplish when you set out with concrete objectives.Every artist should begin their journey by trying to figure out what they want to accomplish with their art and what steps are needed to do so. Everyone can make it.

It looks like he knew what he was doing but didn't know how to really use digital. He didn't even try to detail the one on the left and his hands are still small and shit. I wouldn't be surprised if he used a 3d model, hopefully he didn't

Right one looks boring because everyone did it using the same exact method of multiply layer, add/color dodge/softlight, erase stuff, blend using blending tools,

The one on the left already is a good drawing, but the artist didn't know how to utilize his skill. If you can't tell you're a beglet with an untrained eye.

i hate these because how do we know left isn't just the worst thing he had drawn in that time period and he was on average doing close to right?

Anon05/14/26, 02:09No.7940661
Do not treat this as a demotivator. He fell into the trap of focusing too much on rendering that he neglected draftmanship.The artwork on the left is far from ideal (he needs more work on perspective and forms) but has a noteworthy amount of passion and individuality. Decent composition and gesture.The example on the right feels emptier by comparison. Pretty on the outside but not much going on inside. Somehow it feels like it has less weight and gesture.

yeah Coronavirus lockdowns unironically produced several professional illustrators. I wonder which /ic/ poster became good since 2020 lockdowns

Anon05/14/26, 03:08No.7940691
The only thing marginally improved here is the rendering, which i checked the actual tweet and the the artist said he actually said he practiced 8-10 hours per day
Don't get me wrong there's still a notable improvement but rendering is only a single aspect of drawing you /beg/s are just easily enamoured by eye candy
Do you want it enough to practice 8-10 hours a day with no guaranteed results anon?

He really did improve a lot in those 10 months but you can clearly see where his focus went if you look at it for longer than 5 seconds

The funny thing is that the main flaw of the left (the stiffness from not drawing joints) remains unchanged. The illusion of progress

The reason you're all begs is that you spend all of your time obsessing over random artists

A good deal of improvement, but likely a result of model usage, better references/influences, ambition for polish, and familiarity with the software.
The most telling aspect, as it often is, are the hands. They have a traced feeling, but ironically have poorer sense of flow. The left hand especially seems to flail and has ambiguous intent. These are common traits of traced 3D model hands - even volume in the individual digits, but poor spacing between them.
The hair bun is distracting. I'm not a stickler for rendering, but in this case it's the disparity in quality that is jarring.
I'm not one to say silly things like "the left has SOuL!", but I think what people are noticing is that the left has a congruent style, every aspect is done with a consistent level of skill, and it possesses a certain kind of naive daring. That foreshortened hand says "I don't know what I'm doing, but that's what I want!" We can all appreciate that can-do spirit.
The right says "this is what people like. This is what I'm supposed to do." It's formal. It's formulaic.

This fucking narcissist probably chose one of the worst drawings from 2025.07 and one of the best drawings from 2026.05.
Picrel is also the newest drawing he posted, it looks like he still doesn’t understand the fundamentals and probably 80% of time only practices rendering because it takes less effort to learn and makes his "digital" art look better than it actually is.

anime is easy to draw and you are focused on a singular style. Western art has so many styles it's way harder to learn

Anon05/14/26, 14:48No.7941130
every single one of his drawings has the same cheap sunlight shading that makes his art look good
he doesn’t even try anymore he just keeps using the same trick to make his art look good

This thread makes certain particular people SEETHE not because of his improvement (he improved*) but because being a render monkey improved his art without improving other areas that need work. On the surface that’s fine, and perfectly okay for social media. But why does this thread sting these anons in particular? It’s because they put talent points in rendering, too, realizing anyone can be like OP image (and the seethers) if they skill up in rendering.

Been doing value studies and tried to do this one from imagination. Went to color and spent like an hour to realize I had no idea what I was doing. Am I at the point I could try to dabble in color or do I need to just keep grinding value
