For permabegs, how many hours of drawing did it take you to realize you were a permabeg?
>>7896192I don't understand what is this perma/beg/ thingcan anyone give me some examples?

>>7896196It's almost as if theres some form of hate or malevolent force seeping through his art. Most of it kinda sucks but some of it is interesting and honestly... good? I liked the snake one at least, could easily see that being in someones videogame. Is he just really bad at accurately copying or something? Whats his story?
>>7896224I agree with this guy. His art is not necessarily "bad" per se, it just feels like this guy has a 24/7 shitstorm going on and it reflects on his stuff.
>>7896224I can feel it
>>7896252What do you mean by shitstorm?
>>7896196>this>permabegI honestly feel bad for the poor people who take the opinions on this board seriously
>>7896521He isn’t called a permabeg because of the quality of his work necessarily, but because of the relationship between the work that he was doing and his improvement as an artist. Looking at his page, there’s not much of a point that you can identify where the hard work has paid off because there isn’t ever a tremendous increase in quality. Take these figs near the top of the page for example. They look good no doubt but after so many anatomy, form, and proportion studies as shown earlier in his journey, you would rightfully expect much more. It’s like he’s drawing but struggled to apply what he learned from his previous works to his future works, preventing significant growth and progress after such long term work. That’s where the stagnation lies
>>7896528its more like permaint, retard. the amount of work at that stage is near endless.
>>7896192You can't be permabeg, that's just meme /ic/ terminology.I got stuck doing gesture/figure drawing and didn't improve after literally thousands of drawings. It's not because I was permabeg but because I was jumping ahead way too early. Gesture/Figure Drawing is for people who are already pretty decent at drawing not for beginners like me. Much more so for Anatomy. I wasted hundreds of hours of learning those things and I did not improve at all.What I'm doing currently is just drawing simpler things that I like. I did feet before and now I'm drawing vaginas. I notice a clear improvement upon the first iteration to the last iteration. The point is that there is actual improvement because the subjects are simpler and they're stuff I actually want to draw. I won't be as good as most professional artists but that doesn't really matter to me personally. I just want it to be good enough to mog /ic/ because isn't that what we all want at the end of the day? :)>>7896196>>7896224>>7896252>>7896516Looks like someone who practices Witchcraft. If you look further down, you'll see that he drew Black Magic Wicca symbols. He's trying to use his art to transfer demons to it's viewers. This is common in Heavy Metal music when artists sing lyrics that appear nonsensical but are actually spells. I remember watching a YouTube video of a former Heavy Metal artist admitting exactly this but I can't seem to find it.
>>7896552other turbo/beg/ here. I've been told the ultimate gmi signal is enjoying the process and naturally seeking to refine/develop in areas as you do it more. >good enough to mog /ic/unfathomably based goal
when I started flipping my art and my faces look like deformed monstrosities. then I flip them back to normal and they look fine. I literally cannot see symmetry, I was born without that ability.
>calling pawell /int/lmfao
Fortunately I track everything. I achieved permaprebeg status after 151 hours, 18 minutes, and 32 seconds of drawing.
>>7896758draw more
>>7896196I'll never understand the hate this guy gets. I remember how he'd get like a bunch of replies in those /beg/ + /int/ threads calling him shit. Felt more personal rather than art based since his stuff does look pretty good>picrel
>>7896831>Felt more personal rather than art based since his stuff does look pretty goodBecause that’s exactly what it was. Just a bunch of pissy nodraw crabs venting frustration at one of their betters.
>>7896192Oxymoron.Permabegs are unable of realizing stuff.
>>7896528Those figures are studies of Chinese figure gesture drawings from Pinterest.
>>7896528>they look goodit all looks shithe has absolutely zero sense of 3D
>>7897023Okay, and? >>78970313D isn’t necessarily a requirement for a drawing to look good. By this logic, most cartoon art styles suck because they don’t look 3D
>>7896194When you hit a plateau you can't overcome for years
>>7896521I feel like 99% of the terminology used on this board was made from the anger and frustration people on this board have of each other and some were definetly made to make themselves feel better.I can see someone who just started and went on this board for advice then getting shafted with nonstop insults making the "nodraw" terminology after being so frustrated with the people here. I feel sorry for the people who make these terms.
