Despite the somewhat confrontational tone and logical fallacy (no offense intended, Th4DwArfY1), I agree with the sentiment of this statement. I would appreciate an example (made by you or by someone else) of what you consider to be better or more
'badass'
There are too many masterworks out there and even if I would draw something for you then it wouldn't show in any relatively objective way why they are better or worse.
But I can try to explain! I'll try my best in english. First it's important to draw long unbroken lines. It's much easier and faster to catch the shape if the drawing person at least tries to learn this, especially for sketching, for obvious reasons. Second, stop thinking in lines, think in spots of shadows, that's how objects in real live are made visible (light gives spots of colors and shadows). Third, shade or hatch along the surface, it gives a better understanding for the shape and spatiality, especially while drawing. Fourth, don't try to avoid difficult shapes like hands and feet. Don't hide them! Even if it's a quick sketch. It's also a known assumption that you can see a drawers talent in the way hands were drawn. The whole topic goes much deeper, though.
Two things I can only subjectively tell from his drawings but things that are important as well: He should start drawing from real life more often, not from photographs or other drawings (they're already 2D). He should draw on much bigger paper too (a3 minimum). Study anatomy by drawing a person from real life over and over again.
All of the things I said are optional, though! There's no need to do any of that if you're just scribbling for fun
and I'm not judging him – I tried to answer your guys request. Peace!
I'd have reacted similarly tbh. I don't mind my art being called bad or not badass or not anything you can think of, after all, I presonally don't consider most of it any good. But saying that someone is worse off for considering it any good is kind of mean.
To me it felt weird and funny to read an overly super exaggerated kind comment like "some of the most badass art I've
ever seen [in my entire life]". Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude.
