>>1871Way to be a dick. People don't exactly start out as fucking Picasso, they grow and learn. Telling someone to "give up drawing" because they're not that great at it yet is fucking stupid. Plus, she mentioned that the first two drawing are her newest. She's improved a lot. She can definitely still improve but she shouldn't give up.
Polite sage. Sorry if you're not a girl, OP.
No.1873
>>1871what's wrong with you? why would you tell someone to give up drawing?
fuck off and curl yourself up in a wooden tub until you die.
nevermore: you are definitely improving! keep at it!
but make sure to experiment, practice different poses, and try your best to use reference and ask for help from someone you feel is a bit more skilled than you are. Having someone redline your work can be really helpful.
also, this may sound bad
but sometimes tracing can be really helpful to get you used to the feeling of drawing something. I don't mean trace and post the work as 100 percent yours. I only mean to do it as practice. trace an image, then try to draw it without tracing.
That has helped me improve in the past when ive had difficulty just eyeing my reference image.

Point out how the fruit was actually a psilocybin mushroom.
No.4324
>>4323Amanitas cannot into psilocybin silly.
'sides, that's more because some folks got high on amanitas, it blew their minds, and they were like "oh, this *MUST* be the forbidden fruit! it only makes sense!"
Fact is, descriptions and original translations link it closer to an apple or pomegranate. Apple stems from a clever pun; in latin the word for apple and evil are the same with slightly different accent (mălum vs mālum). Pomegranates stem from being used in Roman and Greek myths as being associated with knowledge of the underworld / hell.
No.4325
>>4324From my understanding, pomegranates were always associated with fertility, not the underworld. Where are you getting this from? Not being a dick or anything, genuinely curious.
No.4327
>>4324The King James Version–at least my Norton critical study edition–only refers to it as a fruit. Doesn't describe it in any detail or hint that it's an apple.
Interested in knowing which translations describe it as such. Especially since it always seemed pretty clear that the snake + fruit was more a reference/plagiarized from Gilgamesh (in particular the serpant who steals the fruit of eternal l ife)
No.4328
>>4327The text only describes it as a fruit. Specifically, the fruit of the tree of knowledge (עֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע in Hebrew)
Which fruit exactly it was… imo, it's metaphorical and thusly does not exist. Most Western branches of Christianity portray it as an apple, again most likely stemming from the "evil - apple" coincidence in Latin (the Latin word from apple was actually a Greek loanword). Catholicism further entrenches that notion, as their canon bible is the Vulgate, a Latin translation originating back in the 300s AD or so. Genesis 2:17 - "de ligno autem scientiae boni et mali ne comedas in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo morte morieris" "mali" in this case could be "bad" or "apple". Or maybe.. bad apple? ;3
>>4325Hades introduced Persephone to pomegranate in Greek mythology. This brought knowledge of pomegranates to the mortal realm, but because she had knowledge of fruit from the underworld, she was forced to spend time every year there as such knowledge was forbidden.
http://www.theoi.com/Khthonios/Persephone.html No.4329
All that stuff about pomegranates as a symbol of female fertility as well as death/the underworld are things I've already found and am exploring in my work. I the same with the Biblical ambiguities as to what the "fruit" actually is; it is something borne from a tree, rather than a vine, a bush, or within the earth…..
Anyway, could you stop debating theology on my art thread lmao….I'm just keeping it as a place where I can chronicle all of my art work for the time being…Thanks for the renewed interest, I guess?

Image 1: Quick sketch of my OCs Marigold "Mara" Milton (black hair) and Elspeth "Elsie" Corvus (blonde hair). They're girlfriends and they attend Catholic school and hunt demons with their friends Johnny Rowe and Elian St Martine.
Mara is half-Thai, has 3 older brothers, and used to train in ballet.
Elsie was raised by her older sister (who is actually her mom), is narcoleptic, and is the captain of the field hockey team.
Image 2: Johnny and Elian, the other half of Mara and Elsie's team.
Johnny is both the youngest (16, 4 months younger than Mara) and the tallest of the group. He's mixed race (black & latinx) and he lives with his grandmother Nancy. His prized possession is a leather jacket that used to belong to his grandfather, he wields a switchblade, and his hair is dreadlocked on top & tied back but shaved on the sides (it's been a while since he last had a haircut tho so it's growing out a little bit). He and Mara are childhood friends and she mothers the hell out of him. Also his parents work as a travel journalist (mom) and photographer (dad) so they're abroad a lot, hence why he lives with Nancy.
Elian is genderfluid (typically "they/their" pronouns) and the Oldest™ of the group. They're a senior and they work as a DJ on weekends. They really like theatrical makeup. They're also bilingual, since their mother is Dutch, and they know sign language also.

No.4590
>>4588Nah, it's fine, I understand! I've found that I can churn out lineless coloured art (like the most recent two) much quicker than when lining and colouring, so if I need to fire off some quick coloured drawings I tend to do them lineless. I don't really like the way it looks either (definitely uncanny valley in the face), and I prefer my stuff with heavier lines, but sometimes you just need to do something fast LOL
I typically think using heavier lineart stops my work from becoming too semi-realistic unless I push for that effect, but I'm not 100% sure so it's nice to hear an outside opinion.

I feel as though whenever I try to do something more stylised it always turns out…more garbage than the rest of my art, so I don't really like to stray much from semi-realism and kinda bland shading. I really should push myself out of my comfort zone more with stuff like that. I've tried to develop my own style a lot of times but nothing really sticks or looks good to me. Most of my style exercises/experiments are to do with fashion illustration stuff at the moment…I really like the way Walter Van Beirendonck does design illustrations but I always default to regular realistic anatomy with little detailing on the faces ;w;

I think my attitude to accepting criticism is kinda two-fold; I'm an art student so constructive criticism/critique is something that happens regularly and you start to see it as something to help improve your work, rather than attack to your ego or anything. Plus even though most of what I post here are the things I do for fun, not for a grade, it's still good to get an outside perspective on your work!! :)
>>4884Thank you for saying this LOL, it's really something I think I need to hear from time to time.

Yes, I can agree about this college thing. When I've begun studying I started dividing good criticism from bad. As a result, I take criticism more calmly. If it's bad and useless: you can always ignore it, and if it's good than you can improve your work a lot.
