Over there, they're a lot more nicer. Even when I spoke in English and drew there, they were nicer than the people here.

If I understood Japanese more, I'd just draw over there all the time and leave this board.

Then learn it and gtfo. Especially if you're the OP...seriously it holds no weight, since he didn't draw the damn thing himself. Besides the best way to get better is to draw tons and tons of crappy things without worrying too much about how it comes out.

"The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the "quantity" group: fifty pound of pots rated an "A", forty pounds a "B", and so on. Those being graded on "quality", however, needed to produce only one pot -albeit a perfect one - to get an "A". Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the "quantity" group was busily churning out piles of work - and learning from their mistakes - the "quality" group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."

this isn't a typical place for posting any type of drawing regardless of its quality and style, thats why this place is much dead and nobody gives a fuck about what the level of artists exist in the world today, they don't like artist here cuz they don't have the skill and jeolousy is the one thig that makes them troll around here

I think there are plenty of good artists on /i/, if people shooping da whoop scares them off, they need to grow thicker skins. I generally only shoop good pictures because I like them. If I would get off my ass and buy a battery for my tablet stylus, maybe I'd draw something decent, I don't know. Fuck off if you don't have a sense of humor.

>> Rickz0r
Maybe if people gave support to newcomers and amatures there would be more learning, thus creating new quality but none of that goes on here really besides people who draw really good and get all the spotlight. That shit happens in america because artistic styles are more diverse in other countries than a oekaki community on 2chan completely made of Japanese artists.

Quality and Perfection do not exist in the world of art, some people find appeal in odd places, not just anime girls and big robots. Just to beat someone to the comment "But Rick, you are just a jealous no talent-namefag because you suck and invader zim style, etc, etc."

Your image of a kinder, gentler /i/ pleases me(I could certainly use advice and support), but it's not likely to happen. Unsolicited advice is usually not received kindly, and solicited advice goes in /ic/.

The Japanese oekaki boards have better art because the Japanese eat anyone who does not fulfil their standards of perfection alive.

Its pretty simple. Cuz thats how failure come from, typical people who don't give much value to their skills end up being useless to the world we live in, people like this vanishes in existance to the world cuz he's a nobody, If I where you I'd think twice of what I'm currently doin and rather try to do the best to pursue something better, this board is full of real losers and useless people who want to sit in front of the computer and waste time flaming or trolling around in these boards, its just up to you if you want to join them

I love /i just the way it is. Sure there's faggotry of all colors but this is not a critique board either, this is a place to fuck around and being 4chan that it is also home to trolling and flames so live with it. This is primarily a place to hone all aspects of artistic skillz, (that includes growing a thick skin when tripfag/anonyshits dis your work [or lackof it] ). This is a place where artists of real integrity and character can really be tested. If they can survive and deal with the scorn of 4chan's /i they can pin the label of "artiste" into their chest with pride. /i, I salute you!

So fuck off with your "Why can't you be like 2chan" bullshit. Oh yeah, sage for shitty picture that OP didn't even draw, faggot!

well thats how talent develops, at first its just seemingly just some ugly, unproportion, and shitty quality of drawing that you may produce, not even I can't do anime drawing as well cuz I don't have the talent to draw

but.................

If you give it lots of attention, focus, hard work, and perserverance at it, in a matter of months, weeks or even days, you'll noticed that you almost draw just like the pros do, Its just the proper love, an lots of patience you'll need just to get there, and the benifits of it? well you can make your own comic/manga novel where your own characters play different roles on it

its better that to hopelessly rot in the internet.

if you don't make the right choice then.......ok, live your precious life as it is

hay guys, maybe 2chan has higher quality artists because their userbase dwarfs 4chan's by several hundred times? also lol hikikomori

Don't forget that /i/ used to be divided into /ib/ and /ip/, for random and professional oekaki, respectedly. (Nearly) all the decent artists ended up on /ib/, because /ip/ was slow-moving and full of pretentious fags. I for one prefer a board where anyone can draw, whether they have talent or not. It's not like lame mouseart has never inspired a legendary thread before, you know?

The only thing I'd change about the current /i/ is to give it a longer retaining threshold, like /ib/ had before its pagecount was capped at 10. That way there'd be less whining about the overall quality of posts. Other than that, /i/ is pretty radical in my book.
