They focus too much on rendering without learning the fundamentals.
You can see a ton of portfolios on ArtStation that are perfectly polished and have great style. But when you subject it to scrutiny, it crumbles. They are not even near the 700s. This is the mistake I have also made.
I will give you an example.
look at this image created by Maciej Laszkiewicz.
How much it would score. It is not rendered great. It looks weird at the first glance. If you have an untrained eye, you will easily dismiss it.
Let's get the score
Line — 915
Shape — 905
Form — 920
Value — 910
Color — 925
Texture — 900
Space — 930
Composition — 925
Total — 916 / 1000
An artwork above 900 is very rare. He sits roughly in the 93rd percentile.
But this is a solid work.
Most people who do art on social media are not passing the 900 mark except for Loish and Stan Prokopenko.
PewDiePie scores roughly around 600. Well, you can say he was an amateur. But he is drawing better than most artists in the media who say they are artists, though.
Trust me, most artists who have a great social media following on YouTube are not passing the 900 threshold.
Now you know the difference.
So if you want to improve on your art. Learn the fundamentals.
Learn it with the score in your mind. Learn 8 fundamentals. Dissect it and learn it.
You will improve.
