I'm scared of drawing for 10 years and just get worse like in pic related. What are the steps I must do to avoid this fate?
>>
>>7974404
That’s insane that he just got noticeably worse, I wouldn’t have published that if I were him, I would have been too embarrassed
>>
>>7974422
>I wouldn’t have published that if I were him, I would have been too embarrassed
maybe it looked better in his eyes
>>
>>7974422
>>7974404
Three steps forward two steps back
>>
>>7974422
but you aren't him and you draw worse than the guy either way, so what's the point?
>>
>>7974404
I think right is better but the rendering is crisper and sharper on the left
>>
what 10 years of no perspective does to a mf
>>
>>7974446
>I think right is better
the faces are worse, whatever the girl in the background is doing makes no sense... the only thing I can see looks better is the pipe behind the crying girl and maybe the tree in the background
>>
>>7974404
First you need to actually get good at drawing in the first place, then you can worry about not getting worse
>>
>>7974442
>>7974455
projecting much?
>>
He completely fucked up the pose. The girl doesn't look like she's leaning in to kiss the guy anymore, she looks passed out.
>>
>>7974404
It doesn't matter whether it is better or worse. What matters that people click on it and discuss whether it is better or worse. And that's exactly what you're doing.
>>
Genuienly looks like he ai generated a reference for the second pic and drew over it, there are so many small details that don't make sense.
>Guy no longer has his arm wrapped around the girl, instead is just rubbing her hip
>Crying girl is no longer covering her chin with the crumpled note like she's trying to hide herself
>Note no longer has writing on it so we can't even tell that it's a love letter as opposed to just a tissue
>Wall texture looks like a flat png with to lightning
>The couple's lips aren't even close to lining up anymore
>Unnecessary shading on the girl in the back's collar bones
>Less vibrant colors in general
>The tree in the background is dying
>The guy no longer has a neck
>It's no longer clear that the crying girl's head is tilted down and that she's looking at the ground
>Skirt looks more two-dimensional than before
This guy needs to put the stylus down
>>
>>7974404
looks like he tried to make them older but didn't really want to
>>
>>7974404
The only improvements are that he simplified the cherry blossoms so they take up less attention and arguably the pantyhose rendering but it's way overdone and doesn't match the rest of the piece.
>>
>>7974456
Nah, that type of post just reeks of begness
>>
>>7974404
U will never reach either lol
>>
>>7974442
Why is this meme suddenly getting popular? It’s gotta just be one guy who’s been repeating it the past couple days, it’s pure retardation
>”I wanted a steak and you gave me a pile of shit”
>”oh yeah well you’re not a professional chef so why do you think you can criticize him huh???”
I could literally have never drawn a day in my life and it doesn’t matter, if it looks worse then it looks worse.
>>
>>7974626
well, if you saw someone reliably and successfully making fire, and you're caught on the outskirts with a bunch of retards constantly spewing vitriol about techniques or how that person is making fire wrong yet they have no fire to show for themselves, then I think it's pretty safe to say, they don't actually know how to or care to create fire.
>>
>>7974626
OP literally said he's scared of drawing for 10 years and getting worse like picrel, he's not talking as a mere critic but as an aspiring artist
>>
>>7974626
>suddenly
it's been the cop-out and deflection here since art has been invented

It's underage retards or autistic faggots thinking because it would work on them it will work on everyone else
or they just want to "ragebait" you which is just an excuse to insult people
you'll soon realize that these "people" don't even draw and are just here to farm
>>
well it's a good thing you don't have to worry about getting worse if you don't draw
>>
>>7974634
"aspiring artist"*, that became a meme now. Cause those type of faggots are filled with people that only shit post and never fucking draw.
>>7974626
>>7974640
I'm tired of faggots like you always trying to make some retarded hypotheticals about situations you will never be in to suit your narratives/agenda.
>>
>>7974459
and her skirt sucks balls, i am more bothered by the cucked girl, her gaze is up like she is looking for somebody's help of she is upset/angry at somebody or something, instead of it being down and completely overwhelmed
>>
>>7974477
good post
>>
>>7974477
>Genuienly looks like he ai generated a reference for the second pic and drew over it
I was about to say this but hoped someone else already did.
>>
>>7974404
I hate how anime just keeps on getting that soft digital art look.
>>
>>7974721
Anime peaked in the 90's - early 00's and internet art peaked in mid 00's - early 10's.
>>
>>7974742
you just sound old
>>
>>7974743
Its something I observed when I come across art and anime. But its okay, you're a no draw nigger.

The amount of permabegs trying to smugly shit on the artist to feel better with themselves is so pathetic. He fixed a lot of things that were wrong in the original. If you can't see why the right is better, you're not as good as you think you are. Dunning Krugers.

>>7974777
Do you not feel you are doing something similar?
>>
>>7974777
It's technically better but it will never be able to replicate the appeal of the original 100% since all of these are affected by tiny subtle details of the original
Redrawn my own stuff of 5-6 years ago and yeah it's technically better but it doesn't capture what the original one was.

I figured it was ai from the thumbnail because it has the same shitty rendering that all ai has; but your post makes it more clear.

Every single point you brought up can be explained as being lazy anon. Occam's razor.
>>
>>7974777
No, right is not better and you obviously can't put into words why you think it is, which is why you go for the catch all "the fact that you disagree with me proves that you're a permabeg crab pyw dunning kruger" non sequitur cope.
>>
>>7974777
Literally why are you sucking this guy off so much?
He redrew it and it got worse. It happens sometimes. That’s life. I’m sorry.
>>
>>7974477
I don't think it's ai, it's consistently mediocre. The old one was soulful at least, it had emotions. The redraw is like those videogame and movie remakes that miss the point of the originals.
>>
>>7974404
His old art is obviously better, but I think that's partly because he put less effort into this new version. For example, he couldn't even be bothered to draw the lines on the skirt.

The old image also has much better colors. It's more vibrant, while the new one looks dull and washed out. The positioning of the lovers is worse too, they're farther apart, which makes the scene feel less like they're actually kissing.

There are also several details that make the composition weaker. The ribbon doesn't flow in the same direction as the cherry blossom petals, which makes the wind effect feel inconsistent. The cherry blossoms themselves also look uglier and more worn out compared to the original.

The girl's expression is another downgrade. In the old version, she clearly looks like she's crying. In the new one, the tears are so transparent that it almost looks like she's sweating. Her head is also raised higher, and her shoulders are in a more relaxed position instead of being lifted, which makes her appear much less sad.

The guy also looks strange in the new version, almost as if he has no neck. The girl's waist looks oddly wide as well, making her proportions feel off.

The letter is another problem. It barely looks like a letter anymore, and because it's smaller, it isn't as visually important. In the original, your eyes first go to the girl and then to the letter, helping you understand why she's crying. In the new version, the focus is mainly on the couple, making the image feel less emotionally impactful.

The rendering quality may have improved, but if the artwork can't convey the same emotion as the original, I don't think that's much of a victory.

After going onto this guy's twitter page it seems like he struggles with three things the most, hands, full-body anatomy, and going outside his comfort zone
>>
>>7974404
She looks like she's sweating instead of crying.

Epic fail. Who's gives a shit about technical skill if you can't convey basic ideas like girl crying big tears
>>
>>7974404
they're both fine.
it's easy to nitpick drawings when you're being forced to find faults.

the results of practice are shown through a wide breadth of artworks; not just a redrawing with the same exact composition.
