I started coming to /i/ earlier this year and I saw a few threads that had previous pics done in /i/ and they were pretty good quality, so I was wondering, did this place used to be of way higher quality than what it is now?
Here have some crudely drawn chick in exchange for answers.

I haven't been on /i/ as long as most people, but I think it breaks down to about this:

50% - Can't really draw for shit, don't really care.
40% - Have potential, need practice
10% - People who have practiced for a long time and can make serious quality oekaki material.

I've only been on /i/ for the past week and a half, but I have to agree with those numbers.

I've been on /i/ for a long long time, and I say it's more like: 70% 25% 5%

Yeah. That's sadly... a lot more accurate.

Well that's a shame. I've been trying to get better myself lately, and I have been, but not by much.

More people drawing = more people with less practice/talent

Either that, or you have nostalgia. In that case, nostalgia thread go.

You have people like Mac, Rick or Kina that rock at artz. Then you have people like us... then you have the Plankton.

I'd like to think I'm in this category, just too lazy to do the practicin'.

I'd like to think I'm in that category as well. I've been practicing a lot more lately, but I wonder how long I can keep up this pace.

To be honest. I like OpenCanvas more than Oekaki. 300x300 is a bit too small for me. 2000x2000 is just fine. I do real media stuff too, but I still have a bit of anatomy problems
>> happyfaceanon
>>99809
Hmm, interesting. Yeah I have some anatomy issues as well. I also have some issues with light source, faces, perspective and a lot of things really. But I'm working on all that.

And I also like to work in a different program. It's not really the size that's an issue, it's more that I don't know how to do anything in shi-painter. I should look up a tutorial.

People who draw well are few in numbers and also draw less. I'd say about now there are a relatively kinda high population of people who can draw, but output is lower than it once was, of course.

I've been on /i/ since it was created (after /ip/ and /ib/ or whatever they were was collapsed), so everything I say must be true.

As for me, I draw rarely and on a whim, and I don't even enjoy drawing, so I don't know why I do it. Thus, I don't improve. I think I've gotten a lot worse, actually.
Oekaki is my preferred shit because usually I am on here when I am on a whim.

Um.. you know you can just write in any size you like, right?

It's all about the details and workspace. I "choke " on small space. I go pixel hunting then and I always "Can't make the image right" (from my viewpoint). With larger canvases I can make some mistakes that will be less visible when you scale it down to say... 1000x1000 (or less). It's just how I work. Some people do amazing stuff on 300x300 canvas. I don't.

Well, technically, you could have a 1000x1000 workspace here too, but yeah, it isn't really the same thing as in PS. You can zoom in for detail work though...

baww /ib/ and /ip/ sucked! And I don't really remember who was there, but I do remember there was shit in /ip/ and /ib/ had better shit.

Was /ip/ the random one and /ib/ the "good" one, or the other way around?

>>99924
/ib/ was a circle jerk and /ip/ was trolled constantly

I WONDER WHY /ib/ WASN'T FULL OF SHIT AND /ip/ HAD ALMOST NO ONE POSTING IN IT

FUCK YOU
