Rating drawing skills from 1 to 10

[amymadison182]

How do you rate an artist's drawing skill levels on a scale from 1 to 10 in tiers, from low to high, how do you put it? Do not put the words ''amateur'' and ''professional'' as skill levels.

I judge comic art in the following ways.

1. Consistency. Drawing weird hands the same way each time simply means you draw weird hands.

2. Competence. You can draw your weird hands in the first place.

3. Aesthetics. I like the way your weird hands look.

This is equally as subjective as doing a 1-10 ranking, but I feel it addresses the problems comics artists have more accurately.

Two, of many, examples of artists I think nail all three criteria;

Alex Raymond

Akira Toriyama

If a person can't see why, they're blind.

As for what doesn't hit? Nah. That'll hurt feelings.

I don't think hands are drawn weird in comics, and hands aren't drawn weird in animation, either. Also, We're rating internet artists' drawing skills, not comic art.

Hands... hands are drawn in comics. And why are you looking to scale something that is super subjective.

I like @thepenmonster answer because it´s an objective way to approach the question
and it can be applied to all styles

Hands are drawn in comics, but they're not drawn weirdly.

Um, this is a comics site forum and your thread/post is in the Art/Comics category, just saying.
