I have no idea how to draw good humans. I can make good eyes. All of the lips I draw always look the same. The nose turns the whole thing into one of those realism arts or is too simple where it conflicts. Unless it's something simple like a hime cut, the hair looks very bad.

you're right. Even if this isn't directed at me specifically, it's something I worry about doing. Honestly, I'm very proud of my overall progress since I started, but I try to be realistic of how much more I have to learn still with my self-crits. Beating myself up over it doesn't help, though.

Had you ever gained inspiration from /dad/? Name the one thing that you learnt.
>>
>>7218968
Those are two very different questions, Anon.
I've gained inspiration from dad many times, mostly in the form of cool compositions, color palettes, design elements and poses that could be used for my own art. But I'm not sure if there's much learning to be done there - usually critiques I got there have lead to me to other places to learn from, like specific courses.

Offsite yearly event running for nearly 10ish years now I think. You pick one of two teams and draw the opposing teams' characters to gain points. You get more points based on what kind of drawing you submit, i.e., a fullbody colored illustration scores more points than an uncolored sketch of an oc would.

No it's the guy who does oil paintings, I think his name is Robbie or something I can't remember. I do remember he lit one of his paintings on fire though.

Honestly I don't know why, he seems earnest and isn't bad at painting but the trad/oil painting chads just go for his throat the second he shows his head.

Honestly, Anon I have no idea who you are because I haven't been here since 2019 but from just seeing the last few things you just posted I'd say you're really good. I really like your composition and character design. You kind of remind me of Don Bluth in a way.

The rules for the challenge don't specify that it has to be 15 unique pieces. In the spirit of the Coom Week challenges, you'll be fine if you just draw coom for 15 days. Like the other anons mentioned, you probably shouldn't be spending all 15 submissions on one piece though

anon, save yourself time and effort and just write an anonymous crit under their submission. Knowing someone cares enough to check out my work and offer advice is more uplifting than anything else because it shows someone out there cares, but seeing someone unprovoked do my piece better than I did right after I tried my very best on it would be kind of insulting and deflating. If you're worried about when to give crit, I would recommend doing it when someone asks for it or they acknowledge they're really struggling at something. Or, hell, have you tried simply asking if they're open to it before giving it?

(I'm referring to my penis)
(and by not needing support I mean that I'm NOT suffering from erectile dysfunction; it's perfectly healthy)

Females really should stay virgin until marriage and thus ensure that their husband (and later father of her children) is someone that isn't interested in just sex. White dress used to symbolize purity and we really need to come back to that beautiful tradition. Of course it's reasonable in this scenario that she would only date males that are virgins as well.

Does this feeling ever go away?

I found a bug.
I'm in houses. I tried to make a submission, but forgot to chose a file.
In this specific scenario dad.gallery tells me to join houses (see screenshot), even though I've already done that, so this is a bug.

It's not a big deal at all so no pressure. I just assume you guys would like to be aware of even those almost meaningless bugs.

I've felt the same way and as feedback, others have said that it's not something that completely goes away. There's always going to be something you think you can improve with each piece. You use that feeling to figure out what area you want to study next, not beat yourself up for not reaching unrealistic or too high of expectations. I think it's a matter of loving your work for what it is at your skill level and changing your perspective for the bigger picture.
