How would you rate your art abilities out of 10?

Maybe… 5? I’m not satisfied with myself.

I keep forgetting I post here. Kinda makes me want to try art, but I don’t think pen/paper is my medium.

My skill in art, is looking at art; so 11.

@Agent Luna  
Samples?
 
Edit:wait I see what you did there.

Highest score in a pic / 100 of 10.
 
So it should be a 3.6 of 10. Still improvable. <3

@bluemeganium  
if I use your formula: 0.85/10
 
How accurate.

I would say like 4 with ponies now.  
Tottal 0 for backgrounds. So it’s 2/10. Well…

Picasso/10

using the formula: 5/10 as of today.

@bluemeganium  
Doesn’t that just say how popular you are? Doesn’t really say much about your ability.

@Wiinajamizzi  
Agreed. I’d say my drawing skills were a little above average myself, although there’s far better artists here. However, my highest scoring image has 160 upvotes.

Traditional art always scores lower than equivalent CG artwork here.

@40kponyguy  
Awwww! That’s such a cute picture! Her gaze is so precious.
 
My highest scoring image has 65 upvotes  

Well, now that we are talking about this… My higher score of an artwork of mine (that it’s not a vector from the show) is this:
 
393 of score.
 

 
Quite simplistic, it’s only a vector drawing that I did of Marble, but people liked it.

@40kponyguy  
@Wiinajamizzi  
Mine’s got 79 upvotes, 76 score. It’s a spoilered image joke.

@Wiimeiser  
Haha, that’s pretty funny actually.

@TheAnonShy  
Everything that is suggestive and higher have better scores than tottaly safe art. 1 of mine go 450 only because it’s explicit. It’s just a decent drawing.  
Your poni is cute and has socks. Insta upvote :)

My second highest scoring image here got 148 upvotes.
 

 
Did well, so I drew another, which didn’t do anywhere near as well, although I am thinking of doing another with those three.

@Wiinajamizzi  
I do jokes too occasionally.

if everyone talking…
 
my highest score image get 93u  
 
who need fancy-shmancy art programs, when you get ms Paint?
 
_{collab does counts, right?}

@Wiinajamizzi  
Not always. You can even throw in a high-scored marvellous pic without being noticed before. These are the very rare moments where you are actually judged by your talents and skills and not by how many follower you have on tumblr.

@bluemeganium  
exactly. Its rare. an anomaly. I don’t think getting your highest upvote artwork and using your formula is a good indication of ability. Even then, how do you know the motivation of all those votes? They could be voting because its their favourite pony, or the subject might align with preconcieved biases. It’s human nature.
 
The question is “How would you rate your ability out of 10”. Not “How much acclaim do you have on Derpibooru”.

@Wiinajamizzi  
I’d say a test of art skill is to look at the stuff the artist draws. Is it always in a similar position? If it is, then they probably can only draw in that pose.  
Any backgrounds?  
Again, this may mean the artist lacks skill in that field.  
And on humanized, hands. Hands are a PAIN to draw right. Less skilled artists may pick a pose that hides them.

@40kponyguy
 
1/10 then.

@40kponyguy  
Yes its really complicated. There are so many variables…
 
Anatomy, Composition, Perspective, Lighting, Concept, Brushwork/ Mark Making, Style, Likeness… Those are just some broad areas. Some of these categories might not even be relevant to a particular work. Some people might not even consider one of these categories to be noteworthy enough compared to others. It’s pretty difficult to quantify ability in a number with all these variables.

@Wiinajamizzi  
Yeah, my highest voted thing has a score of like 430 but tbh its one my more shoddy peices anatomy and shading wise. Though the composition is allright I guess. Something that’s trash on a technical level probably won’t get many up votes, but I’d say a lot of more volatile and immeasurable variables play just as much if not a greater role.

@TheAnonShy  
Hehe…  
If we use that “Biggest score/100” thing…
 
TAS is 12/10
