is it truly possible for an artist to get worse? I see anons mention artist all the time who "devolved" but wouldn't that just mean their taste or your taste has just changed and they are still at the same skill level or even better than before?
Yes, your mental state influences the quality of your art.>shadmanDidn't he just get out of jail? That's probably why he degraded.
>>7847052he was never in jail-jail, he just got arrested
>>7847046Shadman is kinda a bad explample, dude destroyed his brain with heroin
>>7847046every artist gets lazy sooner or later and starts cutting corner in the rendering department mostly
Yes. lack of practice of certain things, forgetting how to do others. I think I lost a lot of my old perspective mojo that I had going on a few years back and I forgot how to do a few techniques I used all the time on photoshop when I stop using the software all the time.Practice should bring you back to what you were, tho. If you are talking about Shad I think he stop relying heavily on a lot of refs and that is affecting his style. good for him.
>>7847046there are many reasons ana rtist can devolve:not drawing for a whilechanging style/drawing something they're not used tonot knowing what you want to draw/how to draw ittrying less cause of burn outin shad's case it's giving me the vibe he both hasn't drawn for a while, and changing style... he used to do a more cartoonish/comic style relatively speaking, now it seems more fluid and realistic...
>>7847114this, everyone knows real artists do cocaine
>>7847046>>7847052>shadman's out of jailWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK YEAH
>>7847046Nisego/Niseworks he dropped the ball and got lazy
>>7847046that's probably the least degenerate artwork of his I've ever seen.
