>>1039515Have you considered making alternative account, or even go by different pen name for your "serious" art?
I'd say keep your comic account for quick dopamine and shitposting for fun. While you're also allowed to take time off from it to develop your art style on the serious art account, then serious audiences will discover you there instead.
source: I do this all the time.
Though this also reminds me of

nonny. i've drawn shitposts for fandoms that get more notes than any other "serious" art i make. if you're worried that people will not follow you anymore for posting art that makes you happy then forget them. you should make art that makes you happy
i think this is an issue with posting art on social media nowadays as people want something funny, and to look at and not think beyond that.
btw anyone know of a site or some service one can use for weekly figure drawing sessions? i'm not talking about the usual online resource sites for poses i mean like a stream or something that shows off models. i still don't feel safe going out to my local figure drawing sessions and was wondering if there was a good online alternative to use until this pandemic is over.

This image couldn't even work in a character design workshop as an example of bad design because it's too obvious. Just take it all in for a moment. She has oni horns, cat ear head phones, AND actual fox ears. That's 3 layers of pointy head accessories. Can't forget the pornsick hentai womb tattoo, weird button up shirt that is uneven for no reason, and I don't think I need to get into the mismatched trans programmer thigh highs. How many troon giveaways can you stack? It's like when you hit the randomize button a piccrew. There is a bunch of drama on this tweet right now calling OP a transphobe because, if it wasn't already clear, the model was designed by a newly come-out transbian. As if that wasn't already extremely obvious considering pornsickness and colorblindness are predominantly male disabilities.

i have a small confession. i recently started a twitter account to draw a very niche, small fandom that's rarely touched upon by the mainstream and I am honestly feeling good about drawing for once.
i have a professional account, but it has been making me dreaded over the amount of audiences it brought over the years, which caused me not looking forward to post drawings ever (but still have to, since it's my job).
occasionally here and then i'd have to make secret, alternative account where i could post doodles, i tried to evade popular tagging and only follow accounts that are least likely to engage with their followers. Usually those temporary account doesn't last for long, I'd have my "hobby" art gets circulated to unwanted crowd, and then delete my account out of anxiety.
i don't know, cross fingers for me this time dear anons, i really want an outlet to post art and interact with like-minded people again.

No. 1041122
>>1041010I think it depends. When I work with OC people they'd have their toyhouse links locked, required a special key for commission artists and RP friends to access. The arts are heavily watermarked too to prevent art thefts.
If you look into adoptables community it's a hot bed of plagiarism drama that got people really strict in sharing arts, writings, world-building etc.
Then theres also this case happened.
>>1040583I'm the same as you though, I still like to post my OCs and ideas since I enjoy doing it. If I'm anything, it motivates me to create without restrictions. Not all my ideas are cutting edge either, so I can shrug it off easily if I happen to find other artists or mainstream media share similar concepts with mine.
The idea of someone copying me to the T does scare me to think about tbh, hopefully I can at least not run into my copycat (if there is ever any).
No. 1041450
>>1041010>>1041122If it helps any, how you write and portray a character matters a lot too and people can't copy that to a T unless you're writing stories while posting art of them.
Also, I recommend screenshotting dates you posted in case it ever does happen, that's usually good proof to me.
No. 1041592
>>1041010Honestly, it really depends on how comfortable you are with the idea of your works being stolen or plagiarized. I've seen a lot of theft over the years, ranging from companies stealing artwork and character designs, to just artists harmlessly copying each other. What
>>1041122 mentioned is true, but the adoptable community is kind of a joke imho, it's just artists getting mad at other artists for taking inspiration.
If you post your IP online, the sad truth is that it's going to get stolen at some point. Either by a dumb T-shirt factory, by a design team that trawls the web for ideas, or by randos on pinterest that save your character and then start getting art of it themselves. The best defense about this is just having enough of a following that people can trace the original back to.
Personally if you have an original IP that you might want to pitch/publish someday, I would hold off on casually posting about it, because someone with a lot of money or connections really could steal it and there's nothing you could do about it. Otherwise if it's just your OCs without context or even just fanart then it really doesn't matter.

She dropped her story like a hot potato, changed a new account and artist name, and now won't touch that niche with a seven foot pole. 100 followers is nothing going up against 100k.
TL;DR, never post about your story concepts unless you mean for other people to steal them, not even Instagram stories is safe.

>>1042510I do commissions as a currently alongside my full-time job. It's useful for building my savings as well as extra cash. It honestly depends on several factors, but you should consider first of all if you can handle it to begin with. It's rather easy to get stressed out if you're in dire need of money or can't account for the amount of requests coming in because it's a rather unstable market. If you can't make a consistent schedule to help tackle these issues, you may want to rethink doing them. People are generally understanding, but only to a fault so it's important you're able to get things done on a timely/orderly manner. I'd recommend a public queue/free organizer like Trello/Google Docs or something to help at least organize things a bit.
Next, don't worry if things are slow at first. That's probably the best way to start before diving head-in to avoid being overwhelmed. Limiting yourself and then determining what you can handle in terms of workflow a great skill to develop. Sometimes you just aren't ready yet, but that doesn't mean it's particularly hopeless. The more you focus on improving your art, the more people will notice, and eventually, they'll choose to commission you if they'd like. Just keep in mind that getting art commissions aren't a necessity so you'll have your more busy/slower periods. All you have to do is account for that when it happens.
You really don't need "perfect" art to start commissions. You just need to develop a niche you enjoy working with or a small following. Because after all, they'll be the ones paying. As mentioned earlier, I use them to help develop my savings and as extra cash to help with other necessities like gas and such. Typically, if I'm investing in something important to my commission work (a functioning tablet, computer, etc.) I make sure to save that money first in case of any emergencies. That way you won't necessarily be in a bind if something happens.

Underpricing + taking too much orders is the reason why youre burnt out, and cannot meet monthly quota.

>>1043823Maybe increase your prices by a few dollars, say to $35-55 each, and have a set number of slots to fill. When you're done working on those, take a break, even if it's just one day off, and then open commissions again. After a month or so increase your prices by $5-10, and keep upping your prices slowly until you can see the money coming in without you burning yourself out. You're going to lose customers, sure, but you're going to do less work for more money, so you're coming out on top. NEVER decrease your prices, if you need quick cash do simple commissions for cheap, like simple rough sketches for $15-25. If you decrease your prices for your usual work people will wait for the price to lower to commission you and you'll fuck yourself over.

You can also pander to furries with them, look at artists like sun_envoy on fA. I don't know too much about the furry side but I do know it's a little more saturated.
Adopts used to be much bigger, but after deviantart (the main hub for them) became a crapfest most people left, so the communities for them can be now hard to find. If you want to sell them, I suggest using buzzly, toyhouse, or DA if you can stand it. Picrel is kitkaloid's most recent auction which sold for 1600 USD.

But it dosint have to be this way though its not wrriten in stone that its genshin way or the high way, i see people making art solely about thire ocs or comic ship no one really knows the lore for unless they read specific things and they open commissions and merch and thire slots sold out.
I think you need to open your horizon more anon,and get creative in what you can make from things you already love to do, i know its little too perfect to get job that pay well and you love at the same time but you can make it just like other people who never even heard of ginshin are making it.

>>1044577You need to cut out anything that you can. Minimal shading, minimal details, focus on color so it pops but don't spend hours on a single piece (in fact, for that price, don't spend more than one and a half hours on a single piece, tops). When you're doing simple illustrations, line weight, color and composition make a big difference to how polished the piece looks, so focus on those. It might be a good idea to have a reference pages with compositions you like and color palettes you use a lot to save time.
Also, start looking for new people who can commission you. Put your art on more platforms, interact with more people, use different hashtags, post at different times. It's slow, sure, but eventually people will pay higher prices for your stuff and you'll have a smaller, better customer base.
>>1046266Trace it with pencil and flip the tracing paper over onto the card stock. Trace over it again with a pencil. Soft pencils are easier to transfer. You'll be left with a very light outline and might need to clean up some parts if your hand slips while tracing. Don't trace too hard onto the card stock or you'll be left with weird indentations.
It's a good idea to keep practicing the drawing, you'll get better at drawing smooth lines and your hand will get steadier every time, but since Valentine's Day is coming up, just trace it.
Also, if you're painting it, do a few rough sketches of the card on a separate piece of card stock and paint those first to see if the colors you want to use will look good together or if any accents and details you want to add will work with the design. If you're inking it, practice making smooth lines and experiment with different line weights.

I was a small account about 500 followers, had a very unique looking character that I posted consistently (all the art I posted was based on stories I was writing). An account got recommended to me about a year after I started posting and when I checked it I saw they had a 'uwu original oc do not steal' that was a total copy paste of mine. Same haircut, skin hair and eye color, fashion sense and accessories, same hobbies, same GUNS? They copied my gun 'designs' which is just a whole new level. My guns aren't even good haha. They were a much larger account and I never felt it was worth doing anything about, I sent my gf the links like 'hey this is x, I'm not crazy right?' and that was the extent of it.
I don't post anymore for unrelated reasons but copying in the art community is prevalent and unstoppable. I'd feel dumb getting into slap fights about it but it does make me mad. It's not hard to come up with your own shit, I wouldn't even mind being derivative, but copying is lame.

No. 1048104
>>1047254>>1047308I’ve seen artists use 3D models for more complicated pieces, like ones that include backgrounds or multiple characters in perspective, and I’m fine with that, but a headshot that isn’t even at a weird angle? Nah lol. I get that faces can become uncanny if the proportions are off, but a lot of artists unconsciously compensate for that because headshots are their comfort zone, so they end up getting good at it anyway. Also, by using these anime-esque models and tracing them so closely, the artist is stuck to drawing these exact proportions with no wiggle room. If you’re going to have same face syndrome at least draw the faces yourself. Plus, the pink-haired girl shows that the artist uses tracing as a crutch. Look at the arm holding up a peace sign. The forearm, wrist, and hand are like a beginner’s attempt at foreshortening.
Honestly I don’t get the point of tracing for hobbyists. I understand if you have a deadline or are working on a comic, but this just feels like skipping the learning stage in order to farm likes. If you don’t have a deadline then you can take the time to do studies or watch tutorials.
No. 1048129
>>1048104Hobbyists want to draw with the same skill as a professional artist, but skip all of the learning processes. They want shortcuts, tutorials, anything that can give them their results fast and without effort. Sure, not all hobbyists are like this, but a good portion of them are.
And what happens if you tell them to to studies, to stop leaning too much on crutches, to actually learn? "Art is just my hobby!! I wanna draw for fun!!". If you DARE to give them an actual good advice but that doesn't allign with their comfort zone, you get a situation similar to Manga Materials on Twitter.

Why are you guys even complaining about tracing? That's something that even big artists do. Rotoscoping is the same as well. Just take your own photos or models. You can trace and still have great work.
No. 1048211
>>1048203wow good job on not reading anything in the discussion.
we're discussing about hobbyist artists pretty much saying that tracing is better than learning. of COURSE big artists trace because most of the time big artists have deadlines and it's perfectly acceptable to trace photos and stuff if you're tight on time. rotoscopy is a thing because guess what, it buys time- on a PROFESSIONAL environment. hobbyists are not tight on time and can afford to learn but they're lazy as fuck and don't like to admit that they can't draw an eye without having to trace.
tracing as a hobbyist artist is pretty pathetic. tracing as a professional artist is pretty much necessary at times.
No. 1048482
Honestly, I don't really care what type of tools people use to help create their art as long as they aren't hurting anyone in the process or claiming another person's work as their own. I'd rather people admit they use these resources than pretending that they TOTALLY did everything by themselves with no help whatsoever when that's truly not the case.
The issue is not the tools themselves because art as a medium is ever-changing. The tools we use now could potentially evolve within the next 10 years. I don't think it's safe to say that the 3D models that people use now will be the same as the ones created in the near future as that technology is improving.
That being said, 3D models have been around for awhile now to…mixed results to say the least. I remember some comics from the 90's/00's definitely using them entirely, but as many people already mentioned, most will recognize that it looks uncanny valley without any adjustments. Of course, if you don't know what you're doing, your work will look mediocre at best and freaky at worst. However, it can't be denied that these tools have definitely helped people get a better understanding of forming a 3D space. People who may have trouble trying to visualize these elements in their mind can use 3D to create a house to understand how it works and incorporate elements into their own art.
I dunno, I can't entirely dismiss 3D models just on the basis of "laziness" alone because I understand a new generation of people are growing up with these resources and will have to discover how to use them in a way that's not weird-looking. I think that's part of the process of creating art. Figuring out how stuff works and learning to execute it well. Many people will discover whether or not tracing 3D models will help them. If it does, it does. If it doesn't, they'll move onto better resources or different materials to study from. Therefore, I don't think it's that much of a big deal.

>>1048482
>they'll move onto better resources or different materials to study from. That's the catch though. This new generation of artists doesn't give two shits about learning and improving, they want likes, attention clout. It's why most anons (or at least that's what I assume) here are talking about those artists being lazy, because they want to pump out art fast and be seen as professional for the sake of likes and attention, and then try to sell off this whole idea to others because it's so much easier to get likes by tracing a 3D model than to actually learn.
Some are in for the learning, for improving themselves. Those are fine.
The problem is the ones in for the clout, because they keep sharing those "art tips" around. I tell you, if I were a 12 year old artist nowadays I wouldn't have sat down in my desk and practiced anatomy off staring at photos for days likeI did, I would've traced 3D models to hell and back, because it's easier to do that than to learn. The only reason I didn't do that at the time was because there were no resources like that at the time. 90% of the time, young artists do art for attention only. It has always been like this. The difference is that before they had no option but to learn, but now they can fool themselves into thinking they're DA BEST by just tracing. Who needs to learn how to draw if you can copy everything from a photo or model?
TL;DR young artists draw for attention. most of them don't want to learn because kids are immediatists and they want the clout. tracing is easier than learning. the end.

Why trace over models when you can learn to sculpt your own and paint over it like picrel
No. 1048514
>>1048482I couldn't care less if someone traces a 3D model; the problem is that it goes beyond 3D models when the person in question lacks the fundamentals to produce a single drawing of their own without a crutch.
One of the people responding to the original tweet even stated they traced an official model another artist created and then passed it off as their own art. That's the crux of the issue for me. Because they don't have any skills whatsoever to produce art, they end up tracing
everything and think it's justified.

I always think artists creating their own resources through various skillsets is pretty cool. Are there any other artists who do stuff like this? I'm curious.
>>1048514If they're tracing someone else's art that's obviously an issue (as mentioned beforehand), but if someone is failing due to their own negligence, that's their own problem in my opinion.
The lack of fundamentals WILL show. That's why I'm not going to personally freak out if I see some beginner artist tracing over a 3D base. If they don't learn, they're only doing themselves a disservice. People either fail and learn from their mistakes, or they continue to stay in their rut. It is what it is.
The artwork will speak for themselves. Most people aren't super familiar with the artistic process, but they can tell when something looks "off" due to lack of flow, stiff posing, bland coloring, etc
You have many MANY cases of weeb artists who never want to venture outside of the typical safe animu stuff and remain stagnant. I'd treat people not learning from using 3D models the same way as ultimately their ego is what's truly holding them back. It's going to bite them back in the ass later anyways, so I say, just let them. They'll get it eventually…or not. lol

You don't need a big following on your social media to work with creative agencies or companies. And this is where the money is. I can make 200 bucks for drawing a single character, with reference pics included. I don't get to chose what I draw tho. If you want to make it apply for internships since you're still a student, and you will meet people and get opportunities this way. Don't fall for the social media following meme, bored teens don't have money.

I think something you should keep in mind is both of these sites were not designed with artists in mind. Twitter, for example, rewards users who post daily which is something I believe a lot of artists cannot maintain unless they're shitposting, retweeting or reposting old work (I have heard that they shadowbanned people retweeting their stuff in the past but idk if they have changed that).

If I like any of those before I schedule them out instead of dumping them all at once. It'll look like you post frequently.
Also I'll try to find it again but there was a tweet saying that there was a way to see when your followers are most active and you can try posting around that time to try to get engagement. But typically I'd go for around the afternoon.
But also as people said before, social media doesn't really matter when applying for jobs. I've been able to find freelance work fine. However, I don't think you should completely neglect it because sometimes someone cool will find your work and want to hire you.

I'm not a fan of Vivzie's work but I get why she and others are deciding to make and fund shorts and cartoons themselves instead of trying to pitch it to a studio and have the image or meaning changed dramatically.
Like I get that it's cheaper and faster blah blah blah but I hate seeing cartoons look and be carbon copies of each other. There has to be a way to at least compromise on something but it seems like studios don't want to do that.

sorry for the oncoming sperg but im so sick of this normalized entitled as fuck and defeatist/complainer attitude that is so prominent with online artists nowadays, especially in terms of anything related to social media for artists or the "instagram algorithm".
if i see one more artist cry and whine on their stories or posts about low engagement or how the algorithm hates artists or guilttripping their followers to boost their posts I'm going to lose my mind, because it is these same terminal-whiners who in the same breath they bitch about apps like Instagram and Twitter "hurting artists", they refuse to do jack-shit to adapt, improvise, or overcome
take for example the countless amount of artists with their panties in a bunch online upset over the rise of TikTok and Instagram Reels, who would rather post dozens of story rants or posts whining or fearmongering about the algorithm and how it'll hurt their art, or about how "making reels is so hard, im an artist, not a video maker!", when they could instead be using that time to figure out how to make these features and the algorithm actually work for them.
if they put nearly as much effort into actually trying to turn their artwork into consumable content people actually interact with or the apps actually boost, maybe they'd get what they bitch so much about not having. but it is way easier for artists to just sit on stories crying about low engagement and likes on their posts rather than work to improve their art or actually attempt to turn one of those automatic procreate timelapses into some quick reel to just try. at least make an attempt.
anybody who is worth their salt and knows basic shit about social media and where trends are headed right now will say it: short form video content is here to stay, and is only getting bigger. refusing to learn something new or try or adapt just because "tiktok stupid" or "I'm an artist, not ___" is just setting yourself up for failure. these people are supposed to be creatives, right? think out of the fucking box for once.

>>1051346I don't think there's any definite proof of nepotism regarding HGS but it's right there on the screen clear as day. It's a show nobody asked for, produced by a company supposedly catering towards the deeper weeb audiences than those who are satisfied with the selection on Netflix and thus very critical of "western" shows, by a creator without anything under her belt and a script riddled with problems regarding pacing, character development, storyboarding and above all the plot that went all over the place.
Of course it could've simply been a diversity hire sort of deal since they centered the marketing around their "super diverse cast" but seeing how Raye is a complete no-name prior to HGS someone at Crunchyroll had to know her and pulled a couple of strings to get her middle school fantasy webcomic animated. You don't just walk to the Crunchyroll HQ and ask them to spend a pretty penny on your vanity project.

https://twitter.com/dinoraye/status/1483551613503426565?s=20&t=DGe8qCkSfLgiHELMxoUgrwit was posted a while ago but it does come off as an attempt to downplay the show's shortcomings. Yes the show had a short budget but it stll doesn't excuse every other issue the show had… mainly that it had a mature content warning yet the characters swore like they were just learning how for the first time and that was about the most "mature" thing about the show.
what would have been an okay netflix kid's show is a horrible weeb bait "anime" for mature audiances.
No. 1051532
>>1051523Their justification for the show's results being "low budget" is just fucking hilariously ridiculous. Look no further than Vivzie's Helluva Boss. You don't have to like it or like her but it's LEAGUES better than HGS while being pretty much an indie or near indie show. Budget isn't a problem if you know how to execute something well.
The problem with HGS to me stems back from when the announcement trailer came out. The team talked on and on about how the show had "so much heart in it" and how "unique" it was and that it would be telling stories that "no other show ever told". They were lifting the show up so so much but failed to do the most basic thing: tell us the premise. HGS ended up being an unholy fusion of the new She-ra with Steven universe and a bootlegged Little Witch Academia, and that's not a budget problem. HGS' biggest problem is its atrocious writing.
tldr, the team on HGS were so busy thinking about their sjw bullcrap that they forgot how to write an actually good show.
No. 1051545
>>1051523No amount of money could've saved that shit writing, blaming the budget is an age-old excuse to evade responsibility. You could make a compelling story with stick figures if the premise and execution were good. The problem with HGS wasn't even a rushed story, but the priorities the staff making decisions had. It was an endless amount of characters dropping exposure instead of doing or showing things, character motivations being nonsensical and of course the notorious identity discourse without a lick of subtlety that wouldn't break the immersion. I know this has been beaten to death but if you really wanted a trans character arc there are so many other, more elegant ways to handle it in a fantasy world than older self-insert teacher grooming a young boy into trooning out by a fucking transitioning magic spell just because his dad wanted him to man up. Even if you agree with trans shit that was probably the most unironically
problematic way to write representation.
>>1051532And it's not even the preachy "SJW shit" that really ruined it, it was because during those scenes none of the characters were likable to the point you would have felt sympathetic towards them and every exchange sounded unnatural and phoned in, breaking the flow of the story every time it happened. I think the main problem with the creators was ultimately their own hubris and combined with that, their lack of perspective. They just wanted to make a bunch of scenes from the masturbatory ideas they had without constructing a coherent story out of them.

>>1051523>>1051532I know she says not to compare it to anime because HGS is a cartoon but anime is literally cartoon in Japanese so I'm gonna ignore that complaint.
There are quite a few examples of shows with low budgets that are still remembered and loved to this day like utena, kill la kill(back when the studio was pretty new), sailor moon, and I think Panty and Stocking if I'm not wrong.
There are ways to make budgeted animation look cool and intriguing with even still shots alone.
I can't talk much about writing since I'm nor completely sure how you'd navigate that on a budget(they were given less time to correct the script and develop things) but In Utena and Kill la Kill there were moment where it was a still shot with just the characters talking and I still had a good time watching it.
Long story short; I think High Guardian Spice is just shit and it's hard to believe the excuses made for it.

No. 1052207
>>1051532I can list at least 10 different anime that does part or all of what HGS does and better. If you have to talk about how "so much heart was put into it" (implying other shows don't have that) or how "unique" (implying other shows can't be unique in their own right) it is, it is probably neither of those things.
The fact that Crunchyroll is an
anime website should have been the first warning that the writing team was in for an uphill battle especially considering the show looks more like steven universe or she-ra than having an anime aesthetic at least.
The only "good" men on the show are either effeminate or trans (The Professor and Snapdragon) while every other "masculine" guy reads like they're plucked from a mgtow or incel subreddit and even then it isn't convincing it's like the writing team has never spoken to a guy that wasn't trans or effeminate in their life, the "bullying" Amarillys does to Sage is low-tier at best, the professor (who is very clearly a self-insert) explains that he is trans in the most elementary school way possible not once, but twice and the first time to a character that information isn't even relevant to (the explanation should have just been to snapdragon), the show's plot is rushed yet too slow at the same time, the voice acting is atrocious, the argument for new magic vs old magic is only said but we're never explained why new magic is actually bad or dangerous, and the most glaring thing of all is that they say the show is made for "mature audiances" yet it is written with the same level of writing as She-Ra or Steven Universe.
It would have been an okay netflix kids show or even an okay children's anime that was taking it's shot on crunchyroll, but overall it was just awful. The only people who actually enjoyed the show are SJWs who watch literally nothing but children's media. Budget could have helped some of these issues, but overall there was no saving grace or silver lining to the story.
RWBY at its start was pretty low budget (you could literally tell the main character from a background character because background characters are shadow people low budget) and the writing was stale or bad at times in the first two seasons and episodes were only 10 - 15 minutes each. The show made up for its low budget by managing to hook an audience with good character design, the launch trailer was an actual trailer (or series of them rather) that focused on the main four characters, actually appealing to the anime market and leaning into common anime tropes, and above all just having characters people just enjoyed watching. It was low budget but had enough of a silver lining that people wanted more of it. HGS? No one wants more of it.
>>1052154This. The reality is that it is a grind and that a lot of people actually don't succeed until they're in their 30s - 50s. It's better to acknowledge that being 20 with 100k followers and a book is a rarity than pretending it is an obtainable goal for everyone and that if you haven't made it by that point then you're just doing something wrong. Too many artists have unrealistic goals and expectations when it comes to followers and engagement and a lot of your followers will lurk or not always engage with your content for different reasons. If you have 200k followers you will not get 200k likes every time you post something or even 100k, you may get closer to 20k or 10k per post if that.
but if you stop creating because you don't get the engagement you either need to re-align your priorities in why you want to create or acknowledge that you just aren't going to make it and give some excuse about how it is the algorithm and not the fact that you barely created because you never got the validation you wanted and complained and guilt-tripped what followers you did have and blamed them for your lack of success

it IS dumb, nobody cares about your art when you're a nobody, and that's just how it works on social media and irl. putting watermarks looks retarded af, you literally look like picrel when you do so. just post your art, try to become relevant, continue. if someone traces? good, you're becoming relevant. someone steals? well i hope you're making more of your own art than a stealer can. like c'mon grow up a bit
No. 1052612
>>1052543Watermarks are tricky because if it's too invasive it CAN ultimately be disruptive to the artwork itself. This is a problem many newbie artists have with digital art in general. They fear more about the art being stolen itself rather than how they can protect their artwork while still having a cohesive watermark. Not saying it's not unnecessary as the current art market is oversaturated to hell and back, but that it can definitely be worked into the artwork much more organically.
>>1052596That's usually my queue for knowing I'm a bit burnt out and need to try something different. I'd suggest doing a study you never tried before or browsing speedpaints/videos of artists that inspire you. It can really help bring your motivation back.
No. 1052619
>>1052279The way to not get too atached to your art is by just making more art, including smaller stuff like doodles and quick sketches, comcempt thumbnails of anything that comes to your head, that way art becomes more of a common activity for you and doesn't feel like a "rarity that must be protected at all costs". If someone steals your art you just know you can just not care and keep making more of it.

>I know NFTs suck ass in many aspects but i’m kind of dumb and don’t really understand how crypto works but don’t artists actually lose money on NFTs? To mint an artwork to turn it into an NFT you need to pay, and it's not guaranteed that you'll get that money back. It's similar to gambling in this aspect, or entering a pyramid scheme. For a person to buy your NFT you either need to have some crazy good networking, be rich, be famous/established in the market, or all three.
AKA average people have more chances of losing money trying to enter in the NFT game than actually winning anything. Like manay have said here before, NFTs are playground for the rich and famous only.

>>1055436I think most people would fall between those two categories anon. Based on my observation, majority of people have their story ideas ready and basic plotlines laid out, and most of those people also plan out the major events and dialogue of their comic, but more spontaneous type is common as well.
Hosting site depends on what you're looking for in a readership base.
Self-hosting on your own website costs money, not ideal if you don't intend to dedicate yourself fully. All marketing needs to be done yourself, otherwise nobody knows your comic exists and nobody will read it. However, you have full creative control and can customize your site to display your comic in the best way possible.
Hosting on Tumblr is an option if you don't have the money for your own site. There's not as much struggle to find an audience compared to your own site, as Tumblr already has a(n albeit-inactive) userbase, but there's still a lot of self-advertising needed.
Hosting on both your own site or Tumblr makes you eligible to be nominated for awards such as the Eisner Award, if you're lucky enough to be seen.
Comicfury is webcomic hosting site with relatively established userbase, with a lot of creative control given to you and the ability to customize your webcomic page.
Webtoons and Tapastic both have decent userbases, Webtoons more so than Tapastic. Vertical scroll webtoon format is more favourable on those two sites, and the size will be scaled down for easy mobile viewing.
Webtoons has a larger but younger audience. Higher visibility, but stricter censors and higher probability of a more immature readership. Participating in the creator events often gets your comic seen by the Canvas (self-publishing) team, who will often promote series on their social media.
Tapastic has a smaller userbase compared to Webtoons, but has more creator-friendly features. Userbase on Tapastic is more mature and understanding, but you have a lower chance of being promoted or finding success on Tapastic. Community is more tight-knit and mutually supportive.
Best of luck anon.

Huge sprawling stories are usually infeasible with the rate most webcomic artists work at, I’m doing a drama with most of the storyline pre-plotted out so I don’t get sidetracked. I use webtoons and tapastic as hosts, even despite my comic not being formatted for scrolling layouts. Personal websites won’t get you nearly as much exposure as using a major comic hosting site. I used to have my own site but I stopped paying for it since most of my readership came from elsewhere and the site only felt like a vanity thing.

>>1055229I think learning to draw/paint traditionally first is worth it even if it makes the switch to digital harder later. It’s not as easy to fix your mistakes so it forces you to think more about what you’re doing. Ink is most brutal of all but useful for improving, and sometimes I’ll sketch in ink only because when I draw with pencil I’ll waste time fixing stupid little details instead of moving on or starting over. However, I do like digital because I don’t have to bother dealing with getting ink or graphite smudged on my hands, or having to clean up paint. And yeah, being able to undo or move stuff around is nice.

No. 1055819
>>1055163I think it comes in handy for artists who don't show their faces. Some only use drawn pfps and if you're looking for an artist who takes commissions, knowing how to address them might be good instead of using their name instead for every pronoun used in a sentence. The other side is them referring to you as they/them instead because they won't know what to call you when typing replies and that seems like something that would set a lot of you off even more.
Makes sense imo. Especially because online I think it's safer to use drawn pfp and never post yourself. Some people have penguins as a personification of the artist. Things like that are hard to guage gender.
No. 1056305
>>1055683you aren't wrong in that you get people who seriously try to kill someone's reputation over pronoun discourse, but on the other end, I can see how they're useful just so people know what to call them no different than putting an age.
acting like people who do it are inherently obnoxious twitterfags is just as cringe as twitterfags who call someone out over it. And every time it is brought up it is generally the same answer of "do what you want" vs "don't appease trannies" vs "it's not that bad" and the so-called discussion always ends the same way.
gender specialness (along with, literally every other fucked thing) is prevalent online because it gives people some measure of power they lack in real life. This season it's just gender specialness but last season it was self dxing with autism or bpd. it'll eventually change to some other thing. outside of genderspheres most people are actually just like, normal.

>>1055819This tbh. She/her in profile because it annoyed me that people kept defaulting to anything BUT female pronouns.
>>1056554Try to push yourself to do half of your work as studies and the other half as stuff from your imagination. It will probably suck at first because you're out of practice, but remember that your fundamentals sucked at first too. Drawing from imagination is a skill, and like any skill it can be trained and it can get rusty if it's not practiced enough, so it's better to get in the habit of practicing it alongside more formal studies so that it doesn't stagnate. The more skills you practice in tandem, the better they'll mesh in your work as well.

>>1057061I’m a former freelance graphic designer who has friends who still work in multiple different design fields. I would say the job is creative to a certain extent but not as fun as it sounds like it could be. A lot of people are under the impression that if you are a professional artist, you just get to draw/design whatever you want all day. In reality, you’re just delivering what your client wants and adhering to their (usually very unrealistic tbh) deadlines and expectations. There will also be times when you spend a ton of time working on a design that your client approved of and they’ll still be like “we changed our mind and want something different.” (You can bill them for the extra time you spend on revisions but it’s still annoying as hell) If you do freelance, you’re also under the pressure of having to constantly look for clients yourself because you don’t have a company or agency to rely on.
It
is still a creative career but you should be realistic about your expectations for your path as a graphic designer/illustrator instead of thinking that it’ll all just be fun and games and it’s purely creative with no other work involved.
No. 1057135
>>1057061Graphic design can be very fun and seeing the final result is really gratifying, but it's really not as "artistic" as I thought it would be when I stepped into the field. In the end you're always working for others, you have to draw/create what others want (many times you'll be working with clients that don't even know what THEY want), regardless if you like it or not. The deadlines can be pretty gruesome at times but I'd say it kind of depends on the agency you worth with (advertisement agencies tend to be brutal in this aspect from my and my friends' experience). I haven't worked as a freelancer so I can't comment much on it.
In my personal opinion, I think it's a bit of a mistake to look at graphic design and most design careers as "creative" or "artistic". Not because they aren't- but mostly because it can fool you into expecting it to be just sitting around in a hipster studio and drawing/creating all day. Design is creating solutions for others, many times urging you to disregard your personal preferences. Back in college, many people in my class said that they only chose design as their major because "they wanted to be artists but an arts degree doesn't get you much money." Wrong! If you want to be an artist, then design is not exactly in your alley. They're different things and can lead to completely different worlds.

I could not have any follow me, but some might use my work as porn for some reason or just like the art itself without nefarious reasons.
It just comes down to if you aren't taking their interactions as bad just because you cal tell they are coomers. From my experience, lolicons/shotacon coomers almost always like the cute aestetic in art as is too without pedo or gross intentions the same way a lot of women like gore to juxtapose their kawaii interests or their versions of what is NSFW. Sometimes I feel people read far into likes without taking is "Maybe they just like the art objectively" or maybe they like the fandom, art comp, liking it for reference of style too.

Just cause you don't "pander" to them doesn't mean that they can't just aesthetically like the art you make for one reason or another. Like I enjoy WLOP and BBCChan for different reasons and there isn't anything weird or nefarious going on.
>>1057375This. If you take the interactions as bad then no shit you're going to just get bad intentions or feel gross even if all they do is just like and RT your stuff. Though a lot of bad and gross shit gets talked about here, the reality is that a majority of people are actually just normal and like different aesthetics for different reasons and just respectfully like, RT and comment as opposed to trying to slide into DMs and if a coomer likes a picture you drew and your immediate thought is "Gross wtf why are they jacking off to this?" or something similar that is a you problem.

Buzzly devs and mods should have had the backbone to say "Curate your own content." but virtue signalers who need a "safe space" believe that any and all content is specifically meant for them and if it isn't then it needs to be banned and removed. People are blaming "proshippers" for the mods being afraid to ban it, but they only cave because people kicked up a stink about content they didn't like being allowed on the website and were too afraid of risking the audiance of the website as opposed to just having a backbone.
>>1058886This is why I primarily follow NSFW artists and stick to my NSFW feed. Even though I follow hundreds of artists on my SFW Twitter and NSFW one, my NSFW feed has significantly less drama despite using block/mute similarly on both accounts.

I think brave was the last good 3d movie disney has been associated with for its rich range of character design and color schemes that were fairly mature with enough pops of color to keep young audiences engaged the main character didnt have fake falsies and huge bug eyes everything else after is too ugly

>>1060804I agree 100% about newer Disney movies having shit character models.
I think every studio who does CGI animated films tries waaaaaay too hard to apply realism on their characters' faces (and other things like cloth textures and hair, while making the characters' bodies and skin unrealistic on purpose). It's super uncanny seeing those ultra realistic traits and cartoony traits at the same time, like that stupid ass eye shape with the unnaturally prominent sclera that aren't realistic in any way but the iris and (on women) eyelashes always super fucking detailed for some reason. It makes me cringe, as well as the dumb exaggerated faces the characters make. If it were 2D this style would definitely work, but not in 3D, it's too close to reality but not enough to be convincing, so it ends up being cringeworthy. It's like this style is trapped in a limbo between cartoon and realism, it's a random mix of both.

>>1061319I agree with you and I came to the conclusion that it’s sort of impossible to draw unconventionally looking people without people saying your anatomy is fucked up or that “ewww why are you drawing hideous/creepy cool things?? you’re not allowed it still always has to be beautiful no matter what even if it’s a horror art piece!” that thought is so fucking annoying and I see it all the time in the bad art thread. It might’ve art you may not politically agree with but what is wrong with the people in their art being ugly?

>>1061468There's nothing wrong with drawing "ugly" things and tbh boring is relative. If everyone drew average-looking people, it would be considered boring. If everyone drew ugly people, it would be considered boring.
simply put, some people just like to draw pretty girls like samdoesart and rossdraws. It's just what they
enjoy doing so to them, it doesn't get boring. If you enjoy it, then the chances of it getting boring are slim as opposed to if you dislike it.

either way I don't get the logic of "wasting" skills by doing something "boring" or "tasteless" instead of something "interesting" because all of those things are relative to the artist and viewer. The only way you can waste a skill is to either not do anything with it or to do things you hate with it.

I'm taking a studio figure drawing class where I've been getting away with pencil but it's clear that charcoal is the ideal medium and is being strongly suggested to me. Specifically the compressed sticks (opposed to charcoal pencils). I really have a 'tism about the texture and mess of charcoal. I love how it looks but I hate how it gets on everything it touches, especially your hands. My professors hands are all black by the end of the class and it freaks me out, I see myself strongly disliking the feeling. Is there anyway to lower the mess factor? Also for people who use charcoal, where do you store it? Does it get on your clothes?

Many of her fans didn't believe Yueko was so retarded anyway so this will just confirm what they thought if she doesn't show actual proof and they find out kek.
FND's site states "NFTs minted on Foundation receive a 10% royalty in perpetuity, anytime a piece is resold. The royalty will be sent directly to the wallet that minted the NFT." so i wonder if yueko will donate those royalties as well

>>1062527It gets boring when you don't like it or just get tired of it.
Fortunately, most people don't. If literally the only person you followed was samdoesart, then it probably would get boring. But if you actually curate your feed to have a list of things you like that you can just pick and choose from depending on what you're in the mood for, it is significantly less boring.
As again, boring art is relative. There are plenty of people that have the same food for lunch but something different for breakfast. Or have the same food but different variations and it doesn't get "boring" for them.
>>1062520If you expect everyone's art to basically he exprtimental to not be "boring" You're going to be in for a sore surprise that not a lot of artists care to experiment. Or rather they do but it doesn't get posted to social media. Take the pretentiousness elsewhere. You are not more artistically inclined or having stronger tastes because you "value experimentation"
>>1062571Just say you don't like the art and go. You don't have to find reasons for or justify it because no matter how an artist draws pretty girls, people like you always go for "they aren't pretty they look 12" even though ages in art are subjective unless you're going do realism. If anything the girls strike me for being in their early to mid twenties. The pedo implication just makes you look cringe.
>>1062607"average people are relatable and cozy" except when artists draw relatable or cozy stuff they still manage the get shat on because "its boring" or it manages to get called sexualized and fetishistic.
Anyways back on the topic of Sam, even though he does draw pretty girls his background and composition skills are what keeps his art interesting. Scrolling through his feed, it's hardly the same image or compositions over and over again.
And he does tell stories with his art, average stories that an average person would be doing. Pretty girls are just the subject matter. Study sessions, school, going on vacation, sitting at a campfire eating marshmallows, etc. They are not very "great" stories, but theyre simplistic and for lack of better words, what an average person would do.
There is no way to really escape getting your art called boring. No matter the artist that gets brought up, there are nonnas who think they can objectively criticize art and use the same pretentious buzzwords over and over again. Most artists have a subject matter they enjoy, whether it is pretty girls, landscapes, pinups or anything else. Valuing "expertimentation" and "being more artistically inclined" are subjective values and trying to treat them like they are objective measures of criticism makes you sound like a washed up high school art teacher or a snobby pretentious art fag that buys a black square for millions because its "so experimental"

Big eyes and "toddler faces" are not populase people are trying to pedo bait. It's because large eyes are considered cute. Kawaii culture took off at least 30 years ago as a counter culture to the idea that women could not be "cute" and still considered women.
When it comes to animation, large eyes took off because it is considered expressive and cute. With "eyes being the windows to the soul" and animation being a visual medium, there is a lot of emotion than be read through a characters eyes and facial expressions. Even old cartoons like the 50s and 60s like loony toons or an old black and white anime like Astro Boy had "large eyes".
Put down the crack pipe. Stylized art tends to exaggerate features. Large eyes are exaggerated in the same way that cheek bones or facial structure may be.
>>1062676I just used Sam because he was the one mentioned. But the idea that someone's art is boring is applied to almost every artist that gets posted here unless they are considered niche. It practically doesn't matter whose art it is unless the person is niche or unheard of.

I called the anon a crackhead not because they found his art boring, but because they said the girls look 12 because they have big eyes and implied some other pedo shit. That is what I called crackhead. That is also what "just say you don't like the art and go" was in reference to as well, just say you don't like the art you don't have to reach for pedophilia.

I said the whole washed up art teacher in reference to people saying it is boring to people who are "more artistically inclined" as well as the whole experimentation in art and that the pretentiousness comes from when people– not just find a particular artist boring– but when they act like they have "much better tastes" or ignore certain aspects of someone's art just to call it boring because it has a certain subject matter or thinking that it is "a waste" to not draw what random anon 214 thinks is good art.
Like the anon who posted examples of art they like by starting with not one, but two artistically generic examples whole calling Sam's art bland as if their own art tastes weren't just differently bland.

>>1062704I said this was as generic as this.
>>1062767 just because they dropped a historical piece at the end doesn't mean the first two examples were not generic. Assuming it's the same anon at least.
>>1062830The thing I think is had for the thread is when people use the "its for salt" to just down a thing they consider "defending" even if all you're doing is sharing your opinion or pointing out flawed logic and I think it's because for whatever reason the "and discussion" got removed so now you get anons who think any kind of discussion is derailing when it doesn't suit their level of saltiness.
>>1062833On that specific one they might have a point but saying a character looks 12 because big eyes, that cute/kawaii is "toddler face" is still crackhead in my opinion. I actually pointed out why large eyes and cutesy things have become more popular but anons ignored that in favor of just focusing on my "defending" of Sam because it was easy to ignore context and be mad.
>>1062834In all honesty, I don't think I have artistic inclination. I was pretty open with the fact that I like generic pixiv and anime stuff over what Sam does. I just think it is pretentious to act like this art is boring and generic while liking something that is just differently boring and generic.

I used to dislike illustrator too because it's not as intuitive as just drawing in Photoshop (and if this is what you intend to do, you're ok using Clip Paint Studio as well, though Photoshop is industry standard and if you plan to have a studio job you really should know it). When it comes to vector, AI really is best there is, and not so awful as it may seem in the beginning - just go through some tutorials, get REALLY accustomed with how exactly the tools work and you'll see it's really comfortable, PS vectors are much more limited. I've heard good things about Affinity Designer but never used it myself - you can look into it though.
I remember going through some really nice courses with good exercises covering foundations of AI on skillshare, I think you can still get 2 weeks of free use there so you totally should give it a go; I remember Hayden Aube has some super nice super basic things that are also very short, but there's more too.

They're still relatively affordable where I live (for the colors I want, at least).

>>1063518I think that sometimes the edits look nice but yeah, they forget that to make them look really good, you have to abide by the original art style or else it'll look off. Like if all the characters in the anime use one line to indicate the nose and mouth, you actually don't need to add more to indicate features found in different ethnicities. For example, you can tell Nessa and Raihan and I'd say the Pokémon art style is pretty simple.
This is besides the point but while I do like edits, I wish we could see some effort into finding or creating more characters who are black or any ethnicity really. Like when destinytomoon started that whole miku monday thing, I couldn't help but think "I wish she'd talk about Merli and brought some attention to her". I think I'd be called a coon at that point though lmao.

In the case of picrel, European features are blond hair, blue eyes and big noses. To Japanese mind, Europeans look like they have big noses and very big round eyes.
When Japanese person is supposed to be an outsider, they always have black hair color, and, if male, skin slightly darker than usual.

>>1064045>>1063933okay racial sperg aside, I actually have a little more information about the topic
Its worth nothing that manga and anime has been always influenced by Western design since its inception. Osamu Tezuka, one of the founding fathers of Japanese manga, has openly expressed that his inspiration for characters, in particular, the big-eyes-small face combo, comes from Disney comics. Japanese also don’t see small noses or white skin as only ‘’Western’’ traits, as white skin has been the beauty trend long before the Japanese had their first contact with Europeans. The hair color is also a stylistic choice
however the reason many Anime characters look "white" is mostly cause of one series, one series that changed everything, The Rose of Versailles
The series is probably the most impactful Shoujo series of all time, the many tropes of Shoujo series were established in RoV and one big selling point the series was that it was set in pre-Revlntary France
the characters were Europeans and thus differently stylized then other Japanese Shujo series characters, this led to other manga creators copying this aesthetic but with characters who were not even European, just for the sales
this continued till the current Aracial Japanese people trend we see in Manga and Anime today

Yes white toddlers have small noses and rounded / short faces. So does pretty much every race as children, and also many asians as adults, which is where the similarity comes from with anime. The only difference is the huge eyes but having big eyes is not a caucasian exclusive trait, it's not even found in all caucasian people. Most cartoons from any country feature enlarged eyes.

>>1064646Touche anon, anyone can photoshop and get surgery. They dont look like that candidly. And once again, i’m not saying it was purposeful, like, mangakas were like “LETS DRAW SOME WHITE KIDDOS”, they just drew what they though made the characters appealing and they happen to look like white kids with small shart protruding noses, large eyes, small midfaces and sharp small jaws. Although Disney characters who were the OG inspiration were based on neotenous features of kids, specifically white ones because Walt was from a majority white country and was white himself.
Anyway, reality and photos(uneditef ones of kids who dont have plastic surgery) speak for themselves.

>>1064653I mean, your proof is how modern anime is largely influenced by the Death in Venice kid who was a young teenager or preteen at the time the Japanese became so enamored by him it inspired an entire genre to be created.
>After the release of Death in Venice, Andrésen spent an extended period of time in Japan and appeared in a number of television commercials and also recorded several pop songs. It is said that his appearance as Tadzio in the film influenced many Japanese anime artists (known for their depictions of young, effeminate men known as "Bishōnen"), especially Keiko Takemiya. Andrésen has had a strong liking for Japan since then and has visited the country again over the years.[6] Björn Andrésen's arrival in Tokyo has been described as being similar to the Beatles landing in the U.S. The young actor was met with mass hysteria and received an enormous amount of female attention.[7] No. 1064663

The anime industry is not "drawing children", they're making characters that appeal to kawaii and cute. Every decade or so there is a new anime style and most every style aligns with what is considered "cute" or kawaii for the generation, especially when it comes to shoujo, isekai, etc. and anime that relies on you feeling attached to the characters. It's nothing nefarious please go outside and touch grass.

If all anime is pedophilic for making teen/adult characters look like kids then so are Disney movies. I can’t deny that pedoshit exists in anime but that doesn’t mean every cute anime character is meant to appeal to pedos. It’s a general art thing, eyes are expressive so they’re exaggerated, and cute characters appeal to the masses. The combination of these two things result in big eyed characters. It just so happens that the features that endear us to Disney and anime characters also endear us to children, but that doesn’t mean it’s all a pedo conspiracy, more like a societal love for cuteness in both adults and kids. Liking cute adults =/= being a pedophile.

Sometimes I’ll say shit in passing something like; “remember what
place or thing looked like?” And this person usually responds with some variant of “UMMMMM NO??? I have APHENTASIA!” I can’t visualize shit either but everyone has the ability to remember something they’ve seen. You’re not disabled.
