wow I regret posting this; I honestly like this graphic because it was a cool scale of abstraction but all the comments on this are just shaming people who draw beyond 5 or people who draw beyond 5 ~ironically~ or futiley and are trying to “improve” to reach 1 and 2 and sorry maybe this is immature of me to get angry about but some really mean comments are showing up on my dash now as in “I only draw 6 or 7 when I’m lazy or if I’m making fun of anime style” I mean FucK oFF!! why haven’t we gotten past the fact that there is no such thing as a style hierarchy, especially when it comes to faces god I am so tired of everyone’s fixation on FACES. Just because someone doesn’t want to draw lips or nostrils doesn’t mean they are lazy or because they can’t!!

like I don’t even see what’s so terribly wrong with 9?? I know a ton of artists that draw close to that point that are great?? JESUS

lol thank you

does it not occur to people that the more representative you try to draw the more glaring any mistake you make is? not to mention more symbolic representation means it’s easier for the viewer to project onto the figure, making it more relatable? 

i’ve said this before… not that one is strictly better than the other but this post-deviantart pressure to cover up the anime influence makes shit look so fucking muddy and goopy and badly constructed 96% of the time

if you want your shit to be less anime then stop letting online artist communities (who draw the same exact way you do) be your only goddamn influence, get off the internet and go to the library or something
