>>66891not bad, if it were painted cleaner and more consistently

>>66895yeah, the execution can be improved
some things no matter how many times you paint it, it's going to suck. it just has no bones. to say the execution needs improved means if you paint it enough, eventually it will look good, meaning it has bones already
that is quite the compliment honestly
No.66899
>>66898maybe a better way to put it is the style is no consistent or the artist has not solidified a style of their own yet. but once they have, with that touch, the same painting would appear better

>>66324Truth. Art for art's sake should be the only motivator. Anything else is cringe and will eat away your soul unless you're extremely fucking lucky and find yourself in the right place/time, which is basically <0.1% of the population
No.67158
>>67118>Art for art's sake should be the only motivator.I disagree.
There is art as a form of communication and art done for utility/function. Such art isn't "cring". It's legitimately useful and valuable. It's in my opinion far better then art done as a form of mental masterbation as you seem to advocate for.
Art that has both function and form is art that has amended to something more.

>>67158Please understand where you are. Art as communication? Who are wizards going to wish to communicate with? "Useful and valuable" to who, the normalfiends?
>It's in my opinion far better then art done as a form of mental masterbationIf you see more value in pleasing others than you see in pleasing yourself, perhaps your power level is very low… Wizards "masturbate" in every area of life; the art we create ought to please only ourselves. One can make a game or job out of commanding approval from normalgroids, but to rely on their opinions for the drive to continue to create art makes you no better than them.

>>67228not bad here is what i see immediately
-shoulders not wide enough
-arms should be longer. wrist (red) should be long enough to reach the bottom of their vagina area (also marked red) in general. people have different arm lengths but that's more normal
-knees are too inward

>>67228looks like her jaw could crush diamonds. Very good otherwise.
No.67366
>>67364sounds viable if you do it every day. i doubt most people practicing art have the patience to do it long enough and consistently
all skills have a brief period where you can gain incredible proficiency in little time and then you plateau and it takes exponential more effort to improve
3 months sounds about right for a skill. at my last job i replaced a 70 year old woodworker who had worked all his life, and i was only trained for 3ish months. most military boot camps are under 3 months off the top of my head also
did not watch the video

>>67364After so much pushing I finally decided to watch the video and was not really impressed. It doesn't help that he is just copying anime succubi faces. Betty Edwards five days course has more dramatic results.

I haven't posted in a long time but I still check /hob/ for you and
