i love it when people post imperfect wips. the more imperfect the better. i cannot tell you how many times i have given up on stuff because it looked ugly at a stage it was MEANT to look ugly. it WASN'T FINISHED. and it serves as a great reminder that it's normal and just part of how art is made
Yeah I used to be super self conscious of my WIPs and would delete them after a day or two. It's a breath of fresh air that people here actively want to see them, so I ended up making a feed for just my WIPs! ^^
Same. It takes a lot to remind me that work-in-progress means exactly what it says on the tin: imperfections and downright wrongness galore. My biggest help has always been seeing others’ mess before cleanup, or getting to watch messy time lapses.
Turns out that it’s supposed to be like that.
yes absolutely! i think sometimes it's easy to lose sight, forget it's a process, and fall into the trap that it has to be perfect from the get go. i love seeing other people's wips for that reason, it's such a good reminder
mfw i realized that every single piece of my modeling art was gonna hit the "i have just glued sticks and paper and garbage together i am a loser" stage
but that primer stage where it becomes a cohesive thing, a coalescing form, and you see your vision past your own details and worry
oh yeah
I used to avoid posting WIPs for this reason! Having a highly rendered style with no lineart or even lined sketches a lot of the time makes early steps awkward, but that's part of what makes the process so cool. I like showing what complete work is made from. 💙
