god, one mild problem of asking friends who don't draw a lot for criticism is that They Don't See Shit. I'm obviously going to be Extra Critical of my own art and that's why I ask for their advise, but they just tell me it's pretty without warning me that one arm had a very fucked up anatomy or the chair I had straight up forgotten to draw for a good while.

I told them the thing was done (I meant a fucking table I had procrastinated to draw for eons and was a blue sketch in all those wip updates) while all the characters were still just colored sketches and the chair was missing and they just didn't see it; they rolled with the drawing as is.

They're wonderful people, but they are definitely not the people to go to for actual art advise and it's a bit annoying tbh

#morningtalks #because The Thing is that I don't want to post this drawing online because these are Real People I Know I'm drawing there and don't want to #post THEM online. there's a limit to what I feel is okay to do and that goes way over it #so it's all forced to stay within my circle of irl people and there it's obviously going to be Very Limited because I know like 4 people we #one of them cannot see the wips because I'm drawing her (with her approval) and want to surprise her with the finished piece #(let's ignore the fact I had mutiple moments of pure frustration about drawing her; it's part of the art process at this point)#so I have 3 people I can easily show the wips to and They Don't Draw/Don't Look Critically at the drawings I make #The Drawing Is Good and that's it #technically I can also go to my mother but she's a bit chaotic bout these things #and has a habit of kinda just criticizing my style itself instead of things truly wrong with the piece itself #like an anatomically fucked up arm #so I'm stuck just trying to catch obvious mistakes myself #and when you realize in lineart stage that The Arm's Fucked it's so much fun #it isn't hard to fix but it's a bit frustrating still
