I'm confused about the person in the last thread saying they dislike ocs. Every fictional character is technically an oc. Do you prefer art of established ips? I like ocs that are appealing to my tastes, like beautiful or interesting, or have a story attached to them.

Yeah, I thought that was a bit confusing too, but from some of the other comments, I wonder if they were more thinking of RP OCs, rather than artists just… making original characters and content? Maybe they've just not encountered someone's art yet that's telling a story or idea that hooks them? Or just a strong, consistent aesthetic? Mystery.

That has always been the definition of OC. OCs are self indulgent characters artists make to appeal to their personal tastes. It's why they are so divisive, and why most people who aren't into the culture of art-trading, like art fight, dont find them appealing. Unlike Goku or Harry Potter, that are tailored to be attractive to a wider demographic, ocs dont go through a process of ''i want this character to be relatable for most people''. It's why mgong cries that no one likes her fat tif oc.

Kek, anon. But people do make widely relatable ocs, they just get called self-inserting. I don't understand why character conceptualization it's so black and white for you.

Honestly it’s a shame how many women artists are scared of looking cringe over harmless stuff when there are tons of moids out there being absolutely shamelessly degenerate (or drawing the most derivative basic waifu slop) and praised for it. I also have fear of my art being cringe, but I’m trying to get over it because I need to express myself somehow.

And yeah I hate how bad and low effort a lot of ‘diverse art’ is, just feels like diversity for easy clout and praise.
Really it just motivates me to draw my own shit even more because I hate these disingenuous artists who treat non-white women like gimmicks or marketing/social media points, or write them like stereotypes(or shallowly written total opposites of the stereotypes) instead of as people.
I’ve been drawing ‘diverse’ art since I was a kid, even before I knew there was a push for it. I just grew up in a diverse area and drew girls like me and the ones I knew. So if anyone makes fun of my art for that I just think it’s silly. The only ‘forced’ aspect is all the lesbians because I’m usually the only one among my friends, but kek I need to dream too.

I do get attention for my ocs, people like the designs/style and personalities I convey, and I got followed by japanese professional artists I admire who I wouldn’t expect to be into my art lol. Plus I get messages from women online and irl, who love my characters and appreciate how varied/original they are and how much effort was clearly put into them. So if you are genuine about your work I feel it’ll reach people.

I get occasional rude comments from moids but it’s typical troll shit so I just block.
Honestly the rudest shit I’ve received have been from other LGBTQ+ types because a lot of the ones online are mentally stunted adults with no social skills, so they’ll basically insult me or make some strange assumption about me. Even saying some backhanded shit, like how they didn’t care about my art until they found out a character might be a lesbian. Lame but they’re not my audience anyway so I block/ignore.

i think the main problem is pose. The first one has a realistic pose while the second one seems confused and the anatomy doesnt quite make sense. Realistically no one sits how you have drawn which makes it seem lifeless imo.
>>1897528
do you draw the head first and then draw the body? I think a healthy exercise is either doing the rough body before detail or even start from feet first and then work your way up. I had the same problem when I started drawing which in your standing pose makes the upper body straight but lower body is leaning, meaning she would fall over if that was a real pose. I also think that explains your weird sitting pose because you dont really have a plan in mind leading to weak gestures

She's the artist that made me realize how much ocs suck, imo. Like i used to think i loved her ocs in her old art, but once she switched to her new style i stopped caring about her art and stopped following her. I just like the art, not the ocs. I genuinely have no idea what her ocs personalities are either, her art doesnt tell much about them. Also funny you use her as example becaus eher ocs are the definition of self indulgent. Her old ocs were just carbon copies of her fat hellsing husbando and her new oc is also a fat tiffie because she's a fatfag kek.

Kek wtf, ever since I checked out brujo ari’s art, instagram has been constantly recommending me her copycats. I think I’ve seen at least 12 different ones so far. I know they’re common with any popular artist, but it got so annoying (and cringy) seeing subpar copycats one after another I just hid them all.

The way I see it, maybe it's tied to the idea that an oc isn't tied to a story that's avaliable to the audience where the character was introduced. Most ocs are seen in the context of the art pieces made of them not in a story. Some do have writings about them but it's not permanent until the creator makes a version and gives it to the masses.
Maybe it's the exclusivity? You can't read/watch the context this character has in the story because the author is the only one who has the full context and they might just change it before ever giving it to an audience.

Anyway, doll illustrations are a fascinating rabbit hole because sometimes they don't have any artist credited and it's kinda sad that they only place their artwork was showcased was on packaging that got ripped up for the toy inside or an advertisement in a magazine.

I don't see ocs as every "original character" an artist has made. I see them as those self indulgent characters that artists make shitty memes of, which is why I recoil at the mention of ocs. I technically have ocs, but I dont consider them that way, they are characters I've made to fulfill a story idea I have, and their importance is tied to the story and world I built for them.
Meanwhile all the term "oc" makes me think of is people making shitty tiktok memes inserting their characters like a ych.

Fat tifs.

I think there's a spectrum when it comes to ocs, one side they're designs, not characters, basically just pretty (or really unintentionally ugly) paper dolls, on the other end you get Randal Ivory, Salad Fingers, Angel Dust etc. who for all intents and purposes fall under "self indulgent" but are also fairly effective characters (even if one of the examples is unbearably annoying). Most oc artists fall somewhere in the middle, leaning a bit to eiher side.

I hate it even more when those people do it to existing characters, especially ones that don’t have active fandoms anymore. They always infantilize them to the point of no recognition (accompanied by ass drawings) just because the character goes through some trauma, even worse when they don’t. I know they’re obviously projecting their own mental illness but it’s awful when that mindset is shared amongst the only active supporters of those fandoms. Triple times worse when that character is responsible for their transition.

You didn't get worse, though I agree there was not much improvement. It takes time to get better. Do studies on your favorite artists and look at photos for posing references. For reference, my gesture drawing teacher said he used to do a lot of gesture drawings, then go home and redraw the poses over and over until they looked better, for hours, beyond the time he had already spent in the class. It takes time and dedication to master things. Pick a form of study that makes you draw a lot, as you improve you can target specific things as you need it.

I feel like I'm getting excluded by some artists just because I don't have the same large following, especially on instagram where the groups are more tight knit. I used to talk with this person and we liked each other art and I thought omg maybe we bonded and then suddenly they stopped engaging with my art and pretended I don't exist even though I kept liking their stuff. And this happened a few times and it always makes me feel weird, why show interest in my art, I do the same with their art and then suddenly leave me out to suck up to other bigger artists? It makes me feel insecure like is my art getting uglier, why pretend you give a shit about helping smaller artists and then leave me in the dust….

There is an artist I follow who makes like two posts a month just whining about trolls who make moronic comments on her art. It's very obviously an attention grab, yet her brainless followers always take the bait and shower her with compliments.

I'm assuming you mean dollieguts (picrel; top is 2017 bottom is 2023/4), she's no longer a gender special, and is on the right medication so is publically less unhinged. She also booted out Bavid thank god, so she seems generally alright. Artwise, it's not great for how many years she was drawing but she can draw forms a lot better and is well past her horrible 2020-2021 sudden art degradation.

As for the first part, your comment about art critic youtubers reminds me of when Spoctor and Solar Sands and that whole group used to do Deviantart cringe and critique videos- while being barely able to draw in ms paint kek. So many young artists were impacted by that whole phase.

Sometimes the art itself transcends the need of a story, sometimes it's just better to infer one than to outright say it.

I find it stupid and reductive to call every single character created an oc. Not only does it make it lose it's original meaning, but it also means that generic cute girl that was only used for this piece alone has the same amount of value as something that actually took a bit more effort to design. As much as I personally dont like OCs, I think calling every single character an OC is counterproductive and honestly devalues actual OCs. Anyone denying that OCs arent are self indulgent is lying, otherwise artfight wouldn't be a thing.

No. 1898407

I think what you're forgetting is that art is objectively self indulgent in general, so to me this point falls flat. I hate most ocs but the term has been watered down from its original meaning and like I said is now an umbrella of varying quality. You have actually constructed characters and basically dress up dolls in the same space (and dress up doll characters are sometimes fine, if what they are being used for is to get across a concept that is new or at least interesting)- both types of characters having been used in art for hundreds of years, with the quality and the wording is the only major change.
All this over someone saying they like drawing ocs, goodness. Have a good night or afternoon nona.

It hasn't been watered down though. I don't know why you insist OC has a completly different meaning than it does. If an artists that draws random girls doing things joined an OC discord they would feel really alien there, because whatever you like it or not OCs meet a certain criteria, they arent just ''any character that doesnt belong to an established IP''.

Instagram doesn't show all posts all the time and sometimes people don't have the time to scroll through their entire feed. They probably don't check who exactly liked their art if they are popular and get a lot of likes, so try commenting on a post or message them about something unrelated and see if it makes them remember about you. But don't engage with them if you were only hoping for clout kek someone liking your art and talking to you isn't "helping a small artist" they just saw your art and happened to like it, they aren't thinking about getting you more followers.

It's fine to dislike the ones that are designs without a story behind it. It's baffling that you insist that it stops being an original character (which is what OC stands for) of the creator once the thing the character is in gets published. It's a very broad term that doesn't only cover kids' sparkledogs. It's as if you said you don't like painting in general because you dislike abstract paintings and consider anything realistic something entirely different from a painting.

Your anatomy is a lot better, like, notably better. I really like the improvement there, I think the two biggest things that pop out to me is maybe that the anatomy is so well-drawn yet the face are lacking the same detail, or seem far more rushed. If you crop out the face on both, I think the improvement is far more visible.

Did the first post's art take you 5 minutes, or meant to be a figure study? If not, I'd recommend spending more time on the finer details of the face, however, it suppose it would just be personal preference. I'm an artist who loves to draw the body but oftentimes skimps out on the face because I don't care as much and I feel that it makes my art less impactful because the average art consumer is more drawn to the face as opposed to the careful way you've drawn the knee cap. Lol.

However, it may be a part of your art style to draw in this way, so I'd probably recommend either simplifying either the anatomy or adding to the face. I think the biggest reason why your old work looks "better" is that there lacks a clear skill discrepancy between the face and body - it all works very cohesively together. I'd also recommend trying a thinner brush as that may help make your faces less cartoony - but YMMV.

It kind of feels like online artists have run goth/alt/emo designs into the ground to the point I’m getting bored seeing them. On rare occasions I see interesting stuff with them, but most of the time it feels like I’m seeing the same uninspired characters over and over.
I also roll my eyes when I see yet another artist with a cast of ocs including the obligatory goth/alt girl and blonde prep girl.

I’m way too nervous to sketch really people yet. So I’ve been practicing drawing YouTubers and scenes from live action shows/movies and some game shows instead of sketching people in person. If you pause you can draw something more detailed, but if you draw as it changes you can practice your speed. A good combo is setting a timer on a paused screen and drawing that. I’ve found photos tend to be too posed for this sketchy style. Cooking shows/videos are good for food and travel blogs/travel shows are good for new locations. Houses and exteriors are fine to do with photos though.

Imagine hating a character that isn't yours, isn't from a show, has no public story (or if there is it tends to be niched) and has as a result almost zero public relevancy other than the fact that you chose to follow the person who created said character. Kek just unfollow those oc artists anon it's not that hard. If you're coming across so many it means you're following a bunch of people who are into it. Clean up your follow list and move on to draw some fanart or whatever. That sparkledog marysue with three different nationalities and at least seven genders and sexualities with a generic traumacore backstory created by some 14 year old weeb on toyhou.se won't hurt you.

Girl mgong was one of my biggest artist disappointments. I've been a fan of her stuff for so long, I've always tried to support her even by commenting on some of her art (obviously using a translator because I can't speak chinese), but recently she took the full plunge into literal cow territory and it makes me so sad. Her art is still amazing (though I liked her old style a lot more, it felt more fluid and had more personality to me but that's just my opinion) but it's hard to keep up when most of her posts are either her fat cuntboy oc or tweet after tweet about being angry at her followers, at her success, at people allegedly trying to copy her, about her oc and so on. I miss when she would just post a bunch of art and show her storytelling through her own pieces instead of going full autismo and tweeting about it. Her old ocs pretty much had no readable story that I could find but the art she made of them was so visually interesting that I was more interested in them than in her current ocs even though now she actually tries to explain the characters and story through comic pages and tweets.

NTA but mgong's problem is that she seems to be dense as a fucking brick at best and retarded at worst. She always had that habit of deleting her art and purging accounts, usually because of her constant "I don't want to be famous" sperging, but then she goes on to not only make a new account but repost some of her older works on it essentially making her extremely easy to track. It's why I don't buy her whole suffering from fame bs, if she was truly suffering from it she'd be putting way more effort in becoming harder and harder to track primarily by not posting older work that can make it easier for the public to associate the post to her new persona.

I have no idea what caused her to become so unhinged to the point all she does nowadays is obsess over her fat tranny character and tweet like a schizo, but a lot of her behavior has been constant for some years now.

Gonna preface this with saying I'm not an artist, but my guess is artists whose art style regressed with time probably don't practice properly, don't draw everyday, don't go back to the basics when they need them, and follow the art trends to get attention, which influences their art style and abilities to a point of no return.

I'm definitely a part of the problem but there's just less enthusiasm and unified passion for creation in my circles.

Not really related nor an answer but I feel you on trying to find art communities. With discord servers there's issues like hustle culture i.e. retards who only use the community to promote themselves and nothing else, hugbox culture, and the fact that most artists are autistic nerds who can't socialize in the first place. And there's little personal worth if the server's average skill is low, which is going to be true for basically any public server, since good artists usually already have their own circles whether by professional/irl networking or careful curating, because they don't gain anything from interacting with less skilled artists (unless they're the kind who get money for mentorships and shit kek).
I used to be part of some ic offshoot servers but those split off into smaller cliques because the women didn't want to deal with 4chan moids' shit. Anyway to this day I still haven't felt like I've ever belonged in an art community or friend group lol. Choosing beggars and whatever but I believe you can exercise pickier discretion over who to be friends with when it comes to online. I feel like most people my age already have their own close-knit circles and aren't that publicly active online anyway, and I don't want to become online friends with 17yo children.

I 100% feel you anon. I guess I do have offshoot professional servers I joined but I don't wanna post anime adjacent art in those kek. It's so especially hard for women. Before troon/moid peaking, I just looked the other way whenever someone makes suspicious drawn loli/ryona bestiality porn. Then the more accepting spaces get overrun by troons, both tims, tifs and misogynist male "feminists". No offence to the casual servers in friendfinder either but it was more casual and too male focus for my liking kek, and I'm too paranoid to be outed as a terf to post in friendfinder myself. I just miss the last decade when everyone just drew for fun and weren't weird about whatever subject matter you draw I literally just draw het oc, fan art femporn and shipshit that makes moids weird around you.

The whole thing regarding art servers being too dominated by male moids is so fucking true it pains me. One day I found an art server that seemed to have some pretty skilled people in it, and the users mostly just chilled in muted VC streaming their own art or shared some insights and art tips in the gen chat. It literally looked perfect, until I saw the channel where users posted/linked their finished works.

Coom. Coom everywhere. There was no NSFW because the server had a rule against it but that didn't stop 99% of the art in it to be coomer anatomy anime girls with revealing clothes ("she's dressed okay! No nipples out! She's dressed!"). It was so fucking depressing, I thought I had finally found a oasis in a desert of shit but in reality it was just another moid coom paradise.

The only non-youtuber art server I was ever in had a mostly TIF userbase (this was pre-peaking and when I was a teen) and the art was awful and people were asking to be hand held through the process of drawing a fucking hat or similar. The resident TIM's was unsuprisingly the worst, and he would get upset if his shitty literal mspaint scrawl wouldn't get praise within 30 minutes of it being posted and would suibait, leave and then rejoin for attention. Towards the end of me being there, there were 15-17 year olds drawing porn and sending uncensored gore images to each other and talking about their nercophila fetishes in the media channel. Suffice to say, that really soured the idea of joing any servers that weren't attached to a public figure in the art community, and even those tended to be overly filled with gendies or scrotes and no one would really interact with each other except the main group of mods and their friends.
In the end I just forced myself to learn Russian and now I hang out with artists on VK and Telegram.

I'm in a certan ic server with high female populatio. We rally artist together to do occasional art events a few times a year. Critique aren't often (most people don't ask for it). You can call it clique as the focus shifted to being art friends who support eachother more than a strict art server like tried to be in the earlydays. It's by no means perfect but at the end of the day it's the only server I bothered investing in time into because I can actually be myself there without worrying about being canceled for my opinions or getting into unnecessary drama that spits back onto 4chan as they're really strict about gatekeeping these days as we once had bad actors join just to dramafag about things and people they dislike on /ic/.

I agree with >>1900901 , I don't think this is true for LT. Her "hard ceiling" is just that she's extremelly focused on muh style. She probably draws studies in "her artstyle" as well, and absorbs way less fundies as a result. I remember she once did a video that was something like "if popular animes were cartoons" but then the drawings were literally just her regular style, which shows how unflexible she is. Forcing yourself that hard into a stylization template will absolutely stagnate you, but I really think it's something you could very easily just… willingly choose not to do.

I want to create drawings of boys in peace. My apologies to any gay nonnas, but I'm not interested in drawing girls unless it's for self-insert reasons. By drawing men, I can take into account other aspects such as muscle anatomy, which has held me back when drawing women. It's not women can't be muscular, Lord knows the amount of buff women I drew in youth, but I'm like, tried? I'm tired of all these pretty girls shitting up my timeline. I'm tired of the expectation that women must be cute to be worth something. I'm tired of the weird rationale of doing the same crap everyday cuz muh views. Happiness should come first. If you're ultimately unhappy, then what's the point of art? Social media has to be the worst mistake of the 20th century as every artist I know has long gone offline or only draws for paypigs now. I hate it here.

I've never wanted to develop my artstyle before but I'm coming back to art after a long break and I suddenly hate my style now. It looks immature and strangely instagram-y, like the lines are too thick and the anatomy is off and the faces are really "original character"-looking. My older art from before my art block doesn't give me this feeling but now all of a sudden there's this weird quality to it that I really don't like. I'm not drawing any differently on purpose, I guess it's just me being rusty. But lately it's been making me want to change things up, just to get rid of this feeling.

I’ve noticed that nonnies here and anons on /ic/ call a lot of fantasy art generic and not not, makes sense not everything can be above average. I didn’t understand the sentiment until I started going into fantasy art. Stuff I would have thought was impressive 5 years ago feels dull and samey now. I feel so bad for art professors and teachers.

Minor sperg but anything that can be classified into a defined category is generic by literal definition. To not be "generic" you must break the boundaries of the classification and become something else. However that's not even remotely helpful, so more to answer your question, I think you're on the right track. Mix elements not usually considered under the fantasy umbrella. Like you've suggested, take visual design cues from lesser represented cultures. Or if you want to retain the medieval European elements, try applying them to a different type of society or genre, a different time, or a different species.

I've been trying to piece things together for a while now but I'm at a loss.

Then she claims people are trying to copy her Salvatore OC (the fat tranny nun) which…I highly doubt. She used to complain about getting too many followers, then stopped and complained that she wanted more comments, then stopped and now complains that she doesn't want any bookmarks…

Either something went down with her IRL that seriously messed up her mental stability or perhaps she's getting some shit or plagiarized in a chinese platform like Weibo and is just using Twitter to vent about it. I don't know, her tirades feel entirely random and the way she words her tweets literally make her look like she's some schizophrenic having a crisis.

My 3D work is my job so I do a variety of styles but my illustration style veers more realistic and experimental. If you need a good tutorial and program I'd recommend doing the Blender Donut. It's a really detailed way to teach you the basics of both Blender as a program and modelling in general. It's a very stereotypical project but it's a really good learning tool, and Blender is and will always be free so it's a great program to do most of your work on. Only problem I have is that it can get pretty glitchy so I'd recommend saving your projects often as it always seems to crash on me kek.

Literally the color mixing option is on. For clip studio, the closest to a vanilla raster hard round brush are the G-Pen series (make sure theres no textures or whatever). I'm an artist who started with photoshop so I had to adjust my CSP workpace to be closer to photoshop's. I also unbinded the shortcuts for pencil and pen/ink and put them all in brush. Tools can be dragged into another and will be a subtool which is a lot closer to photoshop.

I’ve created a collage of what I like to call the “female coombait pick-me artist that’s dating a YouTuber” phenotype. I.e., secretnarcissist, Veronica and Jelly, LexUpDog, and Squizzy/Hyojin. All of them have pretty mid art, and usually climb the social ladder via being the current; or former girlfriend of a famous YouTuber. Though, I realize most of them have broken up with the YouTuber that made them famous in question now. Although, Veronica has now started dating another YouTuber, this time being LSMark instead of OneyNG. The one I find most annoying is SecretNarc, her art is so mid for someone well into their 20’s, and she draws coombait art of her self insert “uwu pervy anime waifu” persona. Although, Hyojin is up there too with the “one of the boys” personality kind of thing she has going on. I will admit, it is sad that most of these women have to use a male YouTuber in order to ever climb the social latter and be recognized.

I couldn't hold myself and from time to time was joking about triggers, osd/odd things, writing how I was lucky not having dysphorias, anas, how feminine I was and having chest is nice they were too easy to provoke and I had my name in too many fights but I never was kicked because iniatially mods were excited to have me in their server and till my leaving they liked my art and even starboarded it. While it was fun, it's also just wasn't worth the time and ruining relationships with people who didn't do any harm to me, they're were just superficial and way too into cartoons and memes and gossip about other half of fandom, no meaningful discussions, demanding call them characters names and treat them like different people, if I could go back in time, I'll just post some art and leave quietly weeks later.

How would you go about finding references for the decoration on the sleeves or way the top is layered, most of it can't just be copied from somewhere. To get better at designing such detailed outfits you need to look at similarly detailed art, check out trendy fashion or whatever style you're aiming for and also random objects that you could reshape to function as accessories. Anyone can draw a basic black suit, but it's difficult to design something new to add to it when you don't have much experience.

Lots of factors plays into this such as internet and fandom spaces becoming corporate and infinite scrolls. But asian artists always had weird rules of who could and who couldn't interact with their art. Even before all anglos on the internet became sjws and would leave rude comments and qrt, some asian artists would block you for being foreigner though can't say I blame them for not wanting comments written in a language they can't read but blocking still feels extreme in this case. Asian artists have also always been drama llamas, even before the anglos became sjw. They would nuke their internet presence for getting too much attention or not getting the exact kind of attention they expected. While I don't think this is a big factor in why people don't comment anymore, I do think it has subconsciously affected how people interact with artist.
Some cowish parts of the anglo net also have subconsciously affacted this. Niche communities on tumblr used to have rules of what posts could and couldn't be interacted with. They treated the public web as a private groupchat and would have a meltdown if a non-mutual interacted with them. Or they would treat the public web as a diary and get mad if strangers read the their public blogs. At the same time these people would beg for attention and crytype if they didn't get it and it was hard to keep up with what was and what wasn't allowed. It was the same people who invented dni lists.
So basically too many internet communities with their own confusing rules on how to interact merged and now there are too many rules to keep up with so why even bother

I think the western art community has also affected this. My personal tin foil is that shit like "reeeeeeeee you can't compliment my art by using the word talented, you're doing subliminal 5D chess to imply I'm lazy" and other things like that have caused people online to subconsciously feel like they have to walk on eggshells to even compliment artists, so they'd rather not bother communicating at all.

This part of the design baffles me so much. His slutty pants thing connect all the way down to his big toenails which match the colors. What material are the pants supposed to even be and are his toenails made out of the same material? Are the pants things growing out of his toenails? Or are they only connecting to his cuticles? How does a professional artist come up with something so genius?

The newest trendy way to learn art is basically just how to render your art nice enough that it’s impressive to normies and beginners. Take away that and their Pinterest references and it’s not that impressive anymore. I fear it’s stagnating so many younger artists progress now.

I've only tried out two anatomy books, so I'm not the most knowledgable on this genre, one being Anatomy for the Artist by Sarah Simblet and Stonehouse. Anatomy for the Artist goes into shallow depth about anatomy imo, however has some decent study material with it's use of original photographs, classical art and some of Simblet's Renaissance-inspired artwork, as well as discussion about art history- Stonehouse is the exact oppisite, incredibly indepth (some might say too indepth) anatomy, but the included material outside of anatomy discussion is mostly anime art which ranges from more than decent to retarded, especially all the stupid jokes he tries to shove in. I think these two books balance each other out, personally- I do like both books for contrasting reasons, but it really depends on your purpose. I also have a couple Dorland's but since those are actually for med students I don't think they'd count.

Thanks nonny. I only read Morpho and Michael Hampton's book, both very good but they lack real references.

The artist's older work is heavily referencing artists like Suehiro Maruo and she's merely symbol drawing some of the features f the face and doesn't really know her forms well- this is apparent in the arms, the weird flatness of the clothing and especially those sleeves. Her newer art suffers from the same, except has a more Tumblr/SJWy wanime inspiration behind it. Nothing more than a classic case of stagnation, just in a less appealing style.

Bad advice imo, you should learn from structured learning by studying the foundations of art, not from drawing random still life shit everyday. If you are learning any skill you have to study it continuously and structurally, not throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. You have to read documentation to learn to code, you have to follow a recipe to learn how to cook etc. Doing what he's saying will not only lead to stagnation but also burn out and a false sense of accomplishment that he seems to have. Isn't the quantitative measure of improvement in art supposed to be success with master studies? If you can do decent master studies on unanimously good art you've improved your art.

>>1907527
Brutal how his art never really improved past a certain point. This was a bit doomer to watch.

My head always active with visuals I want to note or I'll forget it. It's the primary reason why I started to draw and draw still in daily/every other day/twice a week basis, depending. Downside is I never finish them as I need to note specific new sketch + I don't know how to color and shade, every time I watch tutorials I have strong urge to sketch.

Dear nonas do you think it's possible to start over completely? I'm really unhappy with how my art looks and the process just isn't fun anymore. At first i thought it's a temporary feeling but it's been this way for over a year now. Do you think it would work to try and start over again relearning art basics from different sources than i did when i initialy started drawing? I just feel like i'm not as versatile as an artist as others who can easily switch styles

Honestly, most decent artists keep studying foundation topics over and over. They might not do the same exercises as beginners, but they are always studying the same subjects. What people think are art basics, are more like foundations. Nobody masters them in one go, you need to go back to it time and time again.

Like other anons said here and in the other thread, you need to work on construction. When you draw from reference you're not supposed to draw only what you see but also what you know.

This might be a stupid take, but it makes me sad when I see animators redesign/simplifying for animation and it all ends up stripped from personality and looking more "bean mouth" because it's quicker to animate that way.

insta zoomers choose copying styles over fundamentals and it shows in their work. the jelly artist isn’t really that good at drawing. her colouring is great, but once you squint some parts look very wrong, like the neck and shoulders in picrel. this is sad because these artists could be unstoppable if they went out of their comfort zone. i don’t understand why younger artists focus so much on styles when it’s something that should come naturally to you by taking bits and pieces of what you observe. they always copy one style and move onto the next hot thing too kek now they’re copying brujo ari.

Saged because this isn't milk, just me being sad and frustrated+kinda salty. I just wanted a chance to finally talk one of my old inspo sources.

There was this kne artist who I absolutely IDOLIZED in my DeviantArt days when I was still a teenaged beginner in digital art. Her username was WhiteMantisArt and she was pretty much a furry, but her work was tasteful and technically extremely impressive. Her anatomy was amazing, lineart thin and clean, clothes and accessories and background extremely well rendered and detailed. She wasn't perfect, but her art was and still is pretty amazing and she's definitely a truly skilled artist. She had a Tumblr where she'd post her art and doodles as well as a Patreon.

But then out of the blue she started to laywall her art more and more, to the point that now it's nearly impossible to have access to her newer art without paying. Her old stuff is in boorus and such but her new art? Paywall. The other disappointment to me came in the form of her characters. She had some OCs that were furries but they were well designed and expressive. Nowadays she pretty much only draws the same two OCs, two humans with draconic features who are twins but that she draws incest porn and scenarios of them over and over obsessively. Her technical skill is still there but I can't help but feel like a downgrade happened in her character art. The faces look off, flat and samey now. When she was a fucking furry her art and character designs were leagues more interesting than now.

I think her current username is AmadenchArt or something.

I just wanted to talk about her because she used to be such a huge influence to my art in the past only for her to entirely paywall her very presence and enter a spiral where all she wants to draw is incestuous content with her twin human-dragon OCs resulting in a lot of her current art (the few pieces she bothers to post outside of SubscribeStar) pretty samey and boring over time. Idk I'm being autistically retarded over this but it makes me a bit sad.

I forgot who said it but there was a Twitter thread that mentioned it. It's mainly the process that's caused the transition from 2D to 3D. Your animation company can't really be Agile when attempting to use 2D vs 3D animation. So 3D becomes more cost effective due to time investment. It's easier to go back and edit a scene in a 3D film vs trying to edit a 2D film. If the director wants different lighting or wants a scene shot from a different perspective or even contain different actions altogether, that's not to big of a problem in a 3D animation. In 2D however, you basically have to draw a completely new scene from scratch.

If your problem is drawing 3d forms then consider doing DAB or dynamic sketching
If your problem is replicating what's in front of you draw on a grid or learn how to measure.
I have the same issue, drawing what's in front of me is a challenge and I prefer drawing from imagination, gesture was fun until I had to move onto figure drawing and all of a sudden those "exaggerate the pose!!!' advice was working against me. If you're anything like me your "drawing from imagination" isn't actually that good but you're able to get away with it the same way "it's my style!!!" people get away with bad anatomy.

It's literally just the rendering that makes it look good and even then because most use soft brushes and air brushes their drawings look hazy/blurry.

I can just ignore them but I also see this happen with young girls online who just draw yuri for fun and then get flocked to by a bunch of gross coomers, and it's just accepted as an inevitable aspect of drawing women online and it makes me so sad. 2D male focus is usually a good way to filter out most moids (except you do get left with those gigacoomers who claim to be bi to be included but are really just so internet pornbrained they'll coom to anything) a la cgsg discord but unfortunately I don't personally have enough interest in 2D men to join a server dedicated to them. Maybe I should start posting yaoi to filter my following.

Generic anime isn't a momentary fad though anon. I mean shit like the Tumblr art style (i don't feel like finding an example so just have this pic. You all know what I mean anyway) just as a recent example. Every few years there's a new tacky art style that becomes trendy and then looks fugly and dated once everyone is over it. Following the trend doesn't mean they're screwed, they just have to learn new skills and techniques but changing is just what comes with being an artist.

You shouldn't give up drawing yuri just because trannies are interacting with it. Yaoi content drowns out/outnumbers yuri content greatly… if you draw 18+ art you can always emphasize the female attributes and how attracted they are to pussy (this usually repels them ime)

Anon, there’s nothing with using references. It’s completely fucking normal, and it’s not copying without understanding unless you can ONLY draw using reference or if you’re photocopying.

Using references is a waste of time if you can develop an adequate understanding of anatomy imo, because you have to find things to reference in order to help achieve the image you desire. Does that make sense? I'm not trying to never look at a reference again, but I do want to be good enough to not need it to draw accurate looking people.
>it's a lifelong process
I guess so. It feels bad that there will never be a moment where I can say "this is good, I've done enough." I guess I'm also in a position of feeling like I'm not improving or getting worse at drawing even, so I wanted some reassurance that it will pay off eventually. I never see any "before and after" of people drawing after studying these types of books.

NTA but there's a reason why Renaissance artists kept doing anatomy studies even if they were already extremely skilled artists. Yes, you do need to learn how to draw proper anatomy without reference, but you do have to do the occasional anatomy study so your perception of anatomy doesn't get distorted and to keep that information cemented in your brain (and let's be real, you're not going to remember how every muscle and tendon interacts)

Not really. References can work as visual libraries, not necessarily as visual guides. Do you want to draw someone in a certain pose? You don't need to find an exact picture of it, but looking at people in similar poses can help you see details and forms you missed. You need to understand that our brains are limited. We are constantly simplifying what we see. Otherwise, it would take too much brainpower to just look at things. Our brains filter out details or mesh up things together. That's why we fall into optical illusions. Our eyes aren't cameras. Back to references, if you purely draw from your mind, even if you are really good, your visual memory will still be limited. You'll end up simplifying or changing things. References help us to check details and forms we might have missed and make the art more interesting.

I have a soft spot for her because she's kind of living my dream, art-wise.

Being able to paywall SFW art too and actually have people pay to see it goes against a lot of the "artist advice" I saw online (aka that people are only really willing to pay for NSFW things) if you're good enough, and clearly passionate enough, you can get people to pay for drawings of your oc's.

Yes, I work in a creative art field and nearly everyone is a normie, even if they're into anime or some other nerdy topic. You just don't see/hear them because they're not clowning around online like the cows posted here. The exception is art school, in my experience a ton of weirdo kids who love attention go there thinking they can breeze through using "muh art style" and then land a stellar art job without any actual skills. In a class there's only at most a handful of serious people who make it, the others become twitter activists for whatever the current social justice cause is. Those kids typically get filtered out by the real working world, but still even then you'll occasionally find a cluster of weirdos who all somehow made it and they all stick to each other (nobody else wants them as they're annoying and difficult to work with) who also end up becoming a cow herd online for us to milk. But they're still rare in the "real" world.

TA. To be the devil's advocate against my point people seem to just use the website than the discord (note that las and dad discord are moderated by different people, there are those who migrated to dad, use both or neither.) If you keep to yourself and just want a daily art counter with some community, and even ignore the permabeg in the threads. You'll be fine. Though I agree about the subject matter being cringe kek. Someone will draw a cute cat picture and the next submission will be a porn referenced study then the same person with technical skill who rendered a sculpture will draw a balloontits anime girl.

thanks nonny, sadly they dont fill the ''fun artist that makes me want to pick up drawing'' niche for me. I think it made me realize why fisher is so fun, he draws tons of subjects with different styles, he never sticks to just drawing animu or just drawing furries or just drawing 'realism', and he also has a very nice rendering style that makes his figures 'pop'. The artists you posted only draw humans, but fisher draws stuff like animals, mechas, monsters, landscapes, etc. He makes me want to draw because he loves drawing and his love for drawing is contagious, if that makes sense. If nonnies want another fun artist that inspires you to draw, I recommend Yoh Yoshinari's sketchbook.

Nta and sorry to beat a dead horse but I've been in the server in the since the beginning and I can't recall what you are talking about? The only times I remember people being removed for be outright weirdos were either pedophiles, or trolls who never made out of the nodraw channel,or the girl that came was invited in from the friend finder and was deemed too autistic to be in the server and removed over a year ago. Male anons in general were always psudo lurkers who would post work and talk every now and then which is why noone in the server really minds having them there and they're only about 4 of them that stayed.

>And then the megaman moid posting low effort shit and the sperg about not being invited.

That guy was kicked for being a pedophile. He posted shota sucking dick and talked about liking little boy penis in the server and was kicked that very day for it. You would know this if you were apart of the server and not reading through thread archives to piece together stale milk from a year and a half ago.

>I'm fascinated that your response is thinking it's dramaposting and shallow compared to the greentext one of you in that server posted.

I just think it's shallow because of one (1) anon being a literal maga faggot in a 4chan server isn't milk.
I suspect that the only reason he's being namedropped so much because sometime happened and DAD/LAS at somepoint and it's being used a cudgel to whack another server over the head with. The thing is it's not /cgsg/s problem yet it's be painted as if it should. So what happened? What's the ulterior motive here because there’s more interest in one user than anything that's been mentionded about the server itself.

Lastly I find the choosey beggars shit hilarious, /lc/ even can't even make it's own discord but you bitch and moan non stop about the only one nice enough to give the nonnies a far shake? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Thoughts on Robot Dreams/Mon Ami Robot? Gomen if it's been brought up before, but I didn't want to post this in the Western Animation /snow/ thread because it's actually good and not bogged down by creator drama or ideology. I really liked it, and I'm pleased to see that it got nominated for an Oscar (though it's not going to win because normies hate 2D.) There are a handful of parts where I felt it was overly reliant on digital shortcuts for lack of a better word (like puppetry, bones, etc) but it looks nice on the whole, and it does a good job of adding more detail while still staying somewhat true to the art style of the source material. I thought it had a really insightful take on relationships, and I lot how it portrays loneliness and the deterioration of a relationship without any spite or malice between the characters. There were several parts that almost made me tear up. The scene with the snowman was kind of weird and pointless, but I thought it used its time effectively. Definitely recommend if you're into 2D or no-dialogue films.

Others have and time will speak for itself if it's a schizoden or a good community. Noone putting a gun to anyone's head here. I only gave my POV as someone that been there for a over a year and a half and I'm being honest when I say that the rumors are grossly exaggerated. The userbased is just bunch of chill people that care about drawing, and a nice community is being slandered because people feel some kind of way about individuals in it.

Are you referring to picrel? You'd apply the same principles as shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFoKmX0LfCs but manually mix each color and put it down in the correct value structure. Specifically in the case of gouache, you'd leave some of the previous color on the brush when mixing to retain some of the color harmony along with whatever's already on the palette. Plus it's built up over many layers and not done in one pass or anything like that.

Pic rel is a random set of fandoms, not ones I'm in. Unsure whether to post this here or in the consoomer thread but I don't think the market needs so much enamel pin of a single title or character. Prints and stickers are cheaper, disposable and easier to keep. While I can't imagine having to get a pin every con or so. While every big artist who can afford it will produce tons of it anyway. I might just be jaded now that I'm older but fan merch culture is just indie sourced consoomerism/capitalism at this point.

Emanel pins are my favorite kind of fan merch along with acrylic stands kek I guess it depends for what you're going to use the merch, prints and stickers are great for decorating while emanel pins, chamrs and can badges are better if you want an ita bag or something.
For me, I just don't have space to hang prints onto, can badges feel cheap and stickers fade and are single-use. Good emanel pins look better, are more sturdy, and it's easy to put them anywhere. I don't mind them being more pricey since isn't like I buy one every week, $15 every other month isn't much.

I think pin collections are cute. What i don't get is artists who try to sell merch they wouldn't even buy themselves. Why are you investing money on buying 100 keychains, pins and stickers with your mediocre "western anime" art when you KNOW it's not the best and that you'll be competing with artists who are more skilled than you and are also making the exact same characters but better? None of them have a unique style or take on it, it's just a basic (often chibi) drawing. If I've bought 1 nice zelda pin I'm just not going to buy 6 more that look less good, in fact I'm good with my 1 pin and would rather buy a different character if I'm getting more pins. I see these people complain about their own art all the time, they don't seem delusional about their skill level but they still for some reason think THEIR mediocre zelda pin will be the one to sell like hotcakes.

Even funnier when they have the same artwork, but with a tiny variation (background color or holding a flag or item) each with a different pride flag. Like my sister in christ do you really think every person here is going to be some kind of a he/they/xe lesbian demiromantic transmasc enby and that they will all want one of your pins to prove it to the world? Why would you willingly spend that much money just to make sure your target audience is this super teeny tiny minority and that no one else will want to buy it?

You describe it better than I could lol. A minority will have designs that actually look good even without the fandom standpoint. But the rest are haphazardly designed like the artist thought a full illustration but flats and thick lines will be a good enamel pin design.
>Like my sister in christ do you really think every person here is going to be some kind of a he/they/xe lesbian demiromantic transmasc enby and that they will all want one of your pins to prove it to the world?
This is why I think they're just weeb retail therapy enablers, they actually do think that. TQ+ identity is built on hyper-consumerism. How else are people gonna know you're actually a demi-gender pansexual poly if you don't dress like it and buy all the flags that say you are???

Then the problem is not the product itself, you just prefer spending money on other things. You can say the same about stickers etc.
I agree with you in how ugly some pins are though, but again that has to do with the artist' skills than the product itself. US artists just seem to jump into the new shiny thing without researching on how to make it work.

I think some of those pins are actually pretty cute, but even if I was a gendertrender of some flavor and I wanted to buy one I'd think "oh I like the cute fluffy cat and bat- wait I'm NOT a lesbian or omnisexual so I can't get those… too bad" and then i'd move on to someone other seller with neutral pins. It also gives me the ick that a little kid might just think the colors look cute and will then accidentally wear "abrosexual" or "polyamorous" flags and pins not knowing the sexual signals it sends.

Not really. Every artist friend I know is just doing it for a quick buck because it's low effort and even if it's not going to sell like hotcakes someone's going to buy it and it's good portfolio filler. It's like how people cranked out endless amounts of Genshin fanart in 2022, nobody gave a shit about the game and had even barely touched it but they just wanted an easy sell peddling chibi acrylic charms.

I'm in private artist groups so I see where they discuss buying pins from, they're typically spending $150-300 just on buying the pins. These are the same people who "boycott twitter for Palestine" so they avoid cheap sweatshops.

I'd say for colors like this, it's best to blend manually using a combination of soft and hard brushes and picking the colors yourself, that way you can ensure the colors aren't muddy! Generally i found that blend brushes only worm if you're working on the same color or extremely similar shades.

Mgong seems to have gotten past shotacon content momentarily and is now drawing some boring fat tif x generic adult girl content. I mean, at least its not pedo shit.

Though I will say something I might get shit for. I feel like Mgong's art has been decreasing in quality very rapidly. It looks kind of sloppy at times, the colors look rabdomly placed and uninteresting because now it's always that same pinkish-hue "iridescent" rendering but it looks so boring to look at. The compositions also look more simple. It just feels like her art quality degraded.

Sorry for venting but I'm in some convention artist groups as I'm interested in selling there myself but haven't gotten around to it, but dear god is it impossible to get these people to say how much they earn. Some new people asked the others what they roughly make at the convention and if they break even and none of the answers are helpful at all. I hate this sort of "you should just do it for fun uwu" mentality, and these people wonder why artists aren't taken seriously? Not one of them is willing to talk about it as an actual job or that they sell hoping to make money.
And they give the most vague answers like "well depends on what art you make…some people earn money, some don't" well yeah obviously?! But how much did YOU sell and what did YOU earn/lose so people can assess the situation correctly like jfc why is it so hard. I'm sure they're all like 16 and think they're being so fucking helpful.

Doing artist alleys as a job is madness, nobody wants to do that. You make just enough to break even and then some, but nothing substantial to support you between conventions.

The blueish iridescent thing is objectively well-done and it would be appealing to look at if it was used sporadically, but since she uses it in literally every single illustration it gets tiring fast.

Ofcourse, i draw everyday and try to use my time wisely to get there faster, but man it makes things harder sometimes.

Aoki Ume didn't do loli work, her doujinshis were SFW. You might be getting her confused with Studio Shaft and the director of Meguka, who did loli works like Popotan, Tsukuyomi and Monogatari. At this point I don't understand why people support animu. Anime culture is strongly tied to loli and no westerner paying 5 usd for crunchyshit is going to change that.

I feel like there has to be some though. A lot of mangaka start off by drawing doujins then stop once they become established. It could be the same thing. A lot of zoomers were shocked anout Kenya Suzuki (Galko creator) being arrested for CP despite his work being extremely “sfw” fetishy.

The closest I can think of are shonen authors deleting hentai fanwork when they get the job.
Iirc Act-Age's artist (not the author) drew World Trigger yuri loli and deleted it all when she got work.
That being said, some authors go back to doing porn anyway, like the author of Muhyo and Roji.
Iirc the thing with Galko is more that they were surprised because he was known for drawing giant fat chicks which they thought was the opposite of loli.

Meguka has always been an anime for otaku pedo moids, made by an studio that focuses on anime for otaku pedo moids. Westerners trying to held meguka as a wonderful, deep, saphic love story instead of seeing what it really is, otaku waifubait for moids who like to see little girls suffer, are incredibly retarded.

Not the anon you were asking but while I don't think western comic artists are any less degenerate their works at least don't contain blatant loli shit like a majority of anime and Manga. And frankly there is a difference on that point when comparing the west and Japan. Pedophilia is socially frowned upon but still is practiced, pedos just know to keep out of the limelight. While in Japan Pedophilia is on full display and you're almost seen as the problem if you try to advocate against it, especially in media. Anime is terrible for the western world bc of that as its just normalizing Pedophilia to the general public so that Pedophiles have slowly started to become more brazen in what they are.

The thing is that I agree that western media is shit like most anime, my argument was that it is in different ways.
But you can't have meaningful discussion with an idiot who sees red when they read your comment, and instead of responding with actual criticism, they post some snarky up their ass reply and then mock you for getting angry at it.
I stand behind my point about Japan. Pedophilia is more socially accepted there than in the west, and because of this there's tons of media that will include these themes. I don't even think all anime is Pedoshit. I agree the men who make western comics are just as degenerate as Japanese ones. The only difference is that they won't cram loli characters and tropes into their works without a certain pushback. And yes anime is further eroding what little social distaste we had towards Pedophilia.
But you anime caping retards see red, and have to bring unrelated shit to devalue my argument.Maybe if the "globally popular" male would have actually gave criticism and not a snide dick stroking reply I wouldn't have posted my comment.

Nonnas struggling with anatomy and studies. I was browsing Twitter and saw picrel, and it reminded me how I used to study years ago. I struggled studying anatomy from pictures. Just looking at them and trying to recreate in a blank canvas was too hard for me at the time. So, what I did was I would get a photo and draw the structure above it. I would follow the loomis method and break down the face in the basic shapes and forms. Later, I started drawing the skeletons like picrel. At some point, I didn't need to do this on top of the photo anymore and could do normal studies. It helped me to understand objects as pieces of building blocks. The point isn't tracing the image, but finding its structure through simples forms that you can recreate later. I hope this helps someone out there, picrel isn't the best example out there, but it illustrates the idea well enough.

Posting here cause we debated if this deserves its own thread or not but figured not enought milk but still worthy of discussion. So heres the summary I originally made intended for a new thread.

SillyPoo is a group of 3 women who make animations openly mocking troons and men with references to LC. Revealed at least one has a past of being pickme racist who made anti SJW comics for /pol/ tards back in the day. The main two being Silly (Formerly known as HeHeSilly), Poo, and someone who goes by drippydreich claims to help with the animations.

I enjoy their style and I will watch their future works but their moid pandering and their obsession with weight (fat or skinny it doesn't matter) is off-putting. Also outside of their Women's Day vids and other minor examples their stuff is annoyingly nihilistic. Tbh, it's not a deal breaker but it's still a shame we can't have edgy anti-troon content by women without it having moidy trappings all over.

I had a hunch they'd be like this because they accept way too many coomer fanart of their cute characters.
The old comics by HeHeSilly are also absolutely rancid and worthy of the tradthot pickme thread. Terribly cringe and worthy of mockery, but I wonder if they're really ashamed of it.

Why does it matter what they done in the past? No seriously what does it actually matter? They made something cool for the girlish and got completely shat on in some weird ass purity spiral because of it. I look at this and all i see is this why lc can't have jack fucking shit at the end of the day. You all continually bites any hand that offers a helping hand over some petty assumptions and past trangressions then lamenting about not you having anything of your own.

I might be the unpopular opinion here but I don't like their artytle. It's something a kid who just got into art high school thinks it's cool and edgy. I'm over it. I was over this shit since i was 16. It's not original.. been seeing this exact crap in 2011. The animation is trying too hard to be retarded and it's just not funny. It's boring.

i'm not one of the anons shitting on them, but wtf are you talking about? helping hand? they're only attracting even more moids here. besides why would anybody pander to this place, ever? there's not many active posters, there are tons of self hating women, the userbase hates the mod team and it's highly unlikely lolcow could raise money if they needed it. i don't even think they're trying to attract farmers, they're pandering to kiwi moids who fantasize about having nlog lolcow imageboard dwelling gf

Yeah, I read that post.

But I don't feel pity for women who decided to side with that kind of ilk.

>i personally don't really care about her incest oc art but it's a bummer that she paywalled all of her stuff and also gave up entirely on her webcomic.

I agree about the paywall thing, but she didn't give up on her webcomic just because. Entitled fans never learn that artists are humans with feelings and health, they just think they're machines to make comics. No wonder she got tired of her webcomic if people complained she didn't post it on time.

I'll forgive if they make a comic about scrotes being insecure for whining about anime games with pretty boys needing "proper manly men" - something that is actually a real phenomenon since sexualization isn't harmful to scrotes and it's immediately obvious upon seeing what they consider "manly men" that they actually just mean older, uglier, and unintimidating to their egos. I desperately need this kind of women who's so convinced that other women are just so stuck up and can't handle jokes or fun to actually look closely and see that when anything even slightly similar or equivalent happens to men, they have far bigger hissy fit reactions. Alt-right ass-kissing women will sit there while their moids make fun of soyboys and cucks without the self awareness to realize that they're the exact same kind of loser, but genderswapped

There was a time when the worst of it stayed on /pol/, now popular right wing moids are repeating the same popular shit and awful memes from /pol/ 6-7 years ago. It has a effect and at least Silly has contributed greatly to it. They have to do a lot more than make a handful of edgy videos making fun on men. Which btw they didn't even go half as hard on as Silly did to other women. HeHeSilly is literally a mod on their youtube channel.

I'm kinda getting the feeling that SillyPoo a few years ago came across lolcow and realized their are groups of women that reject sex work and troons but don't have to degrade themselves for moids attention amd approval. She probably really was into the community, but SillyPoo still was created with knowledge from her scrote fans that she was apart of HeHeSilly. It was probably something she was totally fine with originally but as she made more LC humor stuff she started getting mixed reactions from scrotes. Scrotes love to dish it out but can't take it. At the end of the day shes just a attention whore. Maybe a part of her wishes she didn't have to pander to moids anymore, but that's the only way to have any kind of success online.

How old was she when she drew those comics and was friends with people like stonetoss? IMO if she was older than her early twenties at the very least then it’s not as excusable as just her changing and it being old art she can’t be “cancelled” for like some anons think. Hehesilly was so deep into /pol/ she was drawing the amerimutt meme, being friends with stonetoss and making the joke of a comic just be non-white woman from an impoverished country is not used to good plumbing. Her tradthot racist shit was genuinely awful and I think if she actually became a true TERF (plenty clearly what they’re going for and there’s even suffragette colored outfits in the latest video) misandrist she’d drop the username completely and not associate with her old scrote audience at all.

Being an alt-right woman is sort of inherently paradoxical since it’s such a male heavy movement. Associating with it as a woman is more or less gender non conforming in itself which of course counters what you’re supposed to be advocating.

Grab a bunch of random backgrounds from google and put them in the background to see what type of scene looks nice and then sketch out your own version or even rough trace since referencing is fine and then you fill in the details of what you actually want.

I had a tinfoil that sillypoo was this lolcow I remembered from ~5 years ago who was an animator that disappeared due to being "canceled", suicide bated, but I think that animator was Korean. They lived in LA too and had the squiggly MS-Paint, meme making art style, with long pauses and unique sound effects. I remember they made a Pokemon animation that got popular on Twitter and their icon was a chihuahua I think. The way sillypoo draws dogs makes me think of that lolcow. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I think her name was like squizy or something.

for what it's worth as an ex-canceled artist I think all creators deserve a chance to rebrand themselves, and it's noble to be putting out your art at all in spite of the criticism - and perhaps that is the point of art. And her cybergurlz video brought joy to my life.

He’s Texan, there’s a very high chance he’s 1/2 or at least 1/4 Latino.

I liked Rose O'Neill, basically any of the art before post-modernism took hold in the art movement.

this thread actually doxxes RedPanels and claims that RedPanels is StoneToss based on these audio recordings. Listen for yourself:

i love it when cocky moids take the L. Kiwifag scrotes have been coping and seething that their beloved ''lib destroyer aryan chad'' is actually a fat ugly goblino that looks like he jacks off to loli and is on the verge of coming out as a trans catgirl

What are the best watercolors for beginners? Or should I just start with the cheap ones?

higher quality watercolours have more pigment and less filler. i use the cheaper watercolours myself since i'm still a beginner.

Dunno if this is the right place to ask, but nonnas where and how do I even start with learning anatomy and proportions? It seems so daunting.
Actually, where do I start with learning art in general? All I know to do is draw odd-looking anime characters with deformed hands, with a few basics and learned techniques up my sleeve and nothing else (line of action is my top skill)
I have a few books on their way but I also want to learn from the internet.
I want to get good quick, so efficient methods of learning art would be awesome. It's hard getting out of my comfort zone but I'm trying to get motivated.
