What separates scrubs from actual artists is your view on dynamism. Dynamic shapes are visual slop, predictable, literal, easily digestible. This is why properties sporting these visuals are primarily marketed towards children, coomers and the mentally stunted.
An actual artist would aspire to seek nuance and ambiguity in their work. Develop a deliberate shape language rather than shitting out some minute variation of the lowest common denominator.
Always cracks me up seeing some self-important NPC going on about "their" "style" and it's the most bland, generic slop imaginable. Thinking they're hot shit because they impress autists and children.

ok now let's see OPs style

If dynamism were easy, Proko wouldn't have fucked up his comic so badly.
>>
>>7723411
Ideally dynamism is something your learn, then discard as you mature as an artist.
I don't see how anyone could arrive at the OP pic and then decide that yeah, this is it. This is what I wanna do for the rest of my life.
There's some sort of deficiency at play.

Artists who specialize in this make money. Fine artists seldom do. I think artists wanting to make money instead of not make money is an understandable phenomenon.
>>
>>7723422
If money is your first priority you're just another wageslave, not an artist. Might as well ship you straight to korea to assemble the next ep of family guy.
>>
>>7723426
How are you meant to make money and do art at the same time if you don't make marketable art? People have families to feed. Maybe you're a NEET or a trust fund person or something, in which case good for you, but in the real world people have to make ends meet and trying to fit art between wageslave jobs and taking care of a family is really hard.

Life's unfair, what else is new? The starving artist is a popular motif for a reason.
I just don't see the point of doing art at all if all you're ever gonna do is slop. Why not learn a trade instead at that point, better pay more demand.
>>
>>7723438
Because trades kinda suck and most people will take a pay hit to do what they enjoy. Also, you can make okay money drawing if you have a fast drawing style and a solid niche.
>>
>>7723446
And there we go, you enjoy creating slop. You will settle for mediocrity because you're deficient as an artist.

The reason is that the majority of artists never take a business class in their life, they'd rather learn more about art theory.
>I just don't see the point of doing art at all if all you're ever gonna do is slop
Just do both fine art and commercial art like most artists worth shit, you know you can do both, right? You're so smart OP.
>>
>>7723470
And who is this fag? Some pop culture commentary cunt who has never created anything of his own.
I'm not contesting that slop sells. Otherwise it wouldn't exist. It's just interesting to me how all of /ic/ idealize the artistic equivalent of flipping McDonalds burgers.
>>
>>7723457
It's time to post your work, nodraw.
>>
slop is still infinitely more valuable than no drawings
>>
>>7723470
People only want slop so might as well use AI if money's the goal. Typical neoliberal brainrot

Artists who care about what artists think more than what consumers think end up as cashiers rather than pros.

Can a mountain or a tree not be both dynamic and striking in its silhouette but also full of intricate nuances you would only notice up close? What about these two qualities (dynamism and subtlety) are mutually exclusive in any way? Lol fuck off you dilettante.
