Yo Jeph:

<< < (3/19) > >>

Lazer:
okay here I'll bump it down another notch:

Jeph if you are reading this, I'll give you art lessons and you can teach me how to be better at guitar because you're way awesome at that.

basically there is nothing specifically fixable about Jeph's art style. it just needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. much like my awful self taught guitar playing, which was formed out of bad habits and lack of someone giving me pointers.

coming from years of art experience (though I am by no means a master artist) I would say that Jeph only has a stylized notion of the human body and a slight grasp of using color theory in a efficient manor. those are some things to muse over.

LeeC:
okay am I the only one here who saw the title of the thread and thought about Xibits Dawg memes?

anywho yeah man let Jeph feel his art out.  Use tact.  It'll get anyone far in life. Yo dawg we put tact in your tact so you can be nice when your nice.  :wink:

You are making a big assumption here - that Jeph is trying to draw the way you'd like him to.  Perhaps he isn't...  Indeed, perhaps he's trying to enjoy himself and make a living, both of which he seems to be managing from the clues he lets out.

Which you've told us nothing of, yet (though your age is in your profile).

Aegir:
Haha, years of art experience at age 18. Yup, high school art class for a half-hour once a week really makes you seem like an expert compared to, oh, I don't know, one of the only self-sustaining full-time webcomic artists ever. You sure showed him, Lazer.

Surgoshan:
Come on, guys, leave the kid alone.  Just because he's 18 and, by definition, knows jack shit, that doesn't mean he's a bad person.  It just means that he'll be kind of a dumbass for the next 6 or 7 years. 

For example, he could have said something like "Hey, have you thought about using [insert thing here] for your color schemes?" or "Hey, have you read so-and-so's text on drawing the human body?" he said "Your art's bad and you should feel bad, you two-bit hack.  I know you've been making a living as an artist for years now, but I took a couple of classes on art and that makes me better than you." 

See?  Typical dumbass kid move.
