Do you like your own art?
>>7756325Eeeeeh one should focus on liking the subject matter more then the art itself, mostly cause if you really love your subject matter you would want to do it justice, and if you accomplish that the youll end up liking the art too
>>7756352The art is the subject silly
I look at my gallery on my phone like it’s pictures of my dog or something. I think I’m fully cooked.
>>7756325I stopped to thinking about killing myself after a while so i guess yeah
>ArtI don't even call it that, it's just a pile of poorly drawn pictures I did because I was bored.
I like it and am proud of it. I always do my best, and that's the best I can do. Of course there's always room to improve, but I'll get there when I'll get there.
>>7756325yeah. >>7756374kek, me too. I look at it and think, damn, i made that?
>>7756325no, i cant stand it
>>7756325sometimes i like my art sometimes i don't, it depends what mood i'm in at any giving day
>>7756325I beat to it occasionally, so uh... yeah?
>>7756325love it. better than anything else i see online
>>7756325Depends on the day. I like my stuff enough that I don't go about wiping the stuff I've drawn even when I feel like it is shit.
>>7756325Yes. Yes I do
>>7756325It objectively looks like shit but I'm still proud of the way it looks like now compared to a few years ago
>>7756325yeah. I'm at peace
It comes out looking how I imagined it, but I get bored with it after a while and then start to hate most of it. Right now I'm enjoying it again.
>>7756325i've gotten to the point where i like my own art, but still prefer the works of others better.
>>7756325Sometimes, yes.
>>7756325no, I hate it. but it doesn't matter, I still enjoy creating it.
>>7756325Not usually, but sometimes i make something that surprises me at how good it looks and it encourages me to keep creating crap. Been chasing that feeling for years.
>>7756325noi feel like i'm getting worse and understand less and less every day. advices i get and videos on artblock i watch don't help. i wonder if it's my flop era
>>7756325it's still very far from my own goalssometimes it comes out alright, which is enough to keep on grindin
>>7756325only when am drawing porn, otherwise I have no strong opinion one way or the other
sometimes yes, sometimes i wish i could do better
>>7756325It's either>Felt good about the process, looks like shit>Didn't try too hard, looks good>Thinks it looks like shit, looks good after finishingMy stuff doesn't look fully "standard" to me and I'm trying to evaluate if that's even good or not.But sometimes, I finish a piece and I think it looks 90% good. (pic related)
>>7756325yes i like my silly scribbles
Eh, sometimes. Most of the time no. But I try to use this disdain to improve to get something I'm satisfied with
>>7757150>>Thinks it looks like shit, looks good after finishingthis is a very interesting moment. the opposite sometimes happens as well, but less so recently. i think 60% of what i start comes out alright depending on the day. here's my latest>>7757212i like 'em too, monkey-chan. theyre very unique and endearing, even despite the perversions it feels pure. honest.
When I finish yes. but it does not last long, a few days later I tend to really dislike it. but really old art, like two or three years I can start to see the appeal again, depending on the work.
I liked my art more when I was “worse” at it. I look at what I drew almost a decade ago in college and what it lacked in technical skill it almost made up for in creativity. Shit, maybe it was just the metric fuckton of acid I was taking. But picrel is something I sketched in a boring 3-hour lecture and I couldn’t imagine coming up with that now. It’s like another person drew it.I’ve gotten back into drawing recently and it’s nice to make gains. I’ve been setting simple goals for myself and achieving them, so in that aspect, I like my art. But there’s something missing that I don’t think I’ll ever see again. I kinda just draw studies and women, and there’s no whimsy or joy in my work nowadays. It’s just compulsion.
>>7757602this is a good reason for keeping your old art. this type of dreamy creativity gets lost with age due to a number of random factors.
>>7756325I can't really judge my own art at all . It's like looking into an abyss of nothingness.
>>7756325Yeah. Though I am not that good at drawing from mind yet. But I am very decent at copying from reference; so I regularly just copy things from pinterest into my sketchbook and now the cool pic I saw is physically in my hand. Pretty awesome!
I can't really call it art yet
Thinking in my characters heads have led to interesting situations, each strip composed with a vague idea that dissipates once pen hits paper. Then its a juggle of letting the Art influence the Story, and the Story influencing the Art. A drawing comes out good, then I bend the narrative to include it. Even I never was quite sure how things come about, then whatever does come about is set in Canon stone. I posted the entire strip and more, just for the hell of it earlier this year, and even though I kept saying the point of the strip was NOT trying to sell it to the public, but as a demonstration of this story evolving, as inspiration to other storytellers. Getting stuff on paper is important, if only to the artist. I have 180+ pages of story, spanning a decade, and I followed it, curious about how things turn out.What you draw, can be redrawn.
>>7756325I like it, sharing it though...
>>7756325The best art I've made? I like it! The things I make now? Not so much. The problem is the way I made my best art, I labored over the reference, darkening it, getting the correct shadow shapes using threshold filters planning what I'll do where and then putting the pieces together didn't feel like drawing to me- it felt like putting together a puzzle. I still love how it came out. My art now on the other hand, there's time I draw like a teenager and then other times where I don't even know how I did what I did.
>>7756325No. It feels like I'm always getting there but never being there.>>7756583>slim body with tastefully huge breastsMy man.
To me a good metaphor is you'll never like your own voice, but you know when you're eloquent and when you're babbling like a retard.So be eloquent to the best of your abilities, whatever they are for now and move on to the next piece, it's all you can do.liking it is not your job, it's up to the viewer, so don't be so neurotic about it
>>7758822If you draw for yourself, then the artist and the viewer are one and the same.
i'm not where i want to be, but i'm skilled enough to make any piece look presentable and impressive to onlookers. i wish i could impress myself from time-to-time, though
>>7756325Yes, and very much so.Even when i fuck up or can't capture completely the pose, i try to restate and move on, drawing asses makes me happy.
>do I like my generic /beg/ mannequins floating in the voidGee anon, what do you think?
>>7759071post your generic /beg/ mannequin.
>>7756325No, my style is too sketchy and roughI want to draw tidily and clean but my hand is just too rough and heavy
>>7756325fuck no. for the love of *** I can't get the "soft, color" lineart style to work, all my colors look janky as shit and the lines look jagged the moment I color them. At this point I'm about to give up soft brushes
>>7759071I for one do like my /beg/ mannequins
I do
This is another spontaneously generated story that grew under my pen.
I'm not happy with my art. The lines, the style and the "poses", if I can even grace them with such a word are just all wrong.>>7756583Her radius/ulna shouldn't be twisting like that
>>7756325My inspiration is Frank Miller, so I like everything I make>>7759299LMFAO how do you even have the confidence to upload that
>>7759300>My inspiration is Frank Miller, so I like everything I make
My old art is better than my current art even though i am better at anatomy and perspective now
>>7759299You need to practice line confidence, and creating volume and shadow with lines. You'll get there
>>7756325rarely, i delete almost everything I do and save nothing
>>7756325Yeah. If anything I hate my stupid brain that learns things a bit slower than others
