sorry if this has been asked already (I’ve looked through the old threads and haven’t found much) but are there brushes nonas would recommend for this kind of painterly style in procreate? I adore the rendering style of picrel but I have had trouble getting the hang of it on procreate. I use a hand-me-down iPad and don’t really have the spare money to buy a drawing tablet, so I’d like to work with what I have— but all the artists I admire use sai and that’s not available for iPad (unless there’s some trick I’m unaware of). I’ve imported some custom brushes but haven’t yet found anything that can recreate this nice smooth painterly effect. The painting tutorials I’ve seen for procreate don’t produce the look I want.

>>2314259disclaimer I'm relatively new to digital painting myself, and couldn't find a high enough res image to really pixel peep, this was the highest res file:
https://64.media.tumblr.com/72b64f8e6a29f159eddd806e1ceaa521/14ba220858d15f5a-8a/s1280x1920/8954981a87ffe14defd02d630d968888ab4e3f0c.jpg, but…
I don't really think any particular brush is going to get you the look you want. if you look closely at the linked file around the characters' feet and compare the grass and clothing textures, you'll notice there are least 4 or 5 different brushes being used. the trick is that everything is layered and nothing is a totally flat opaque texture, there's gaps and opacity allowing the other layers to show through (like traditional oil painting), and because the artist is rotating between so many different brushes it helps stop it from looking too digital with perfect uniformity, there's some "randomness".
Secondly, use several different hues of a similar value, even within parts of the picture that should be the same color. Look at any little section of one of the dresses where there is no shading, and notice that it's not just blue, but green and grey and brown and blue and purple, all of similar value and layered over each other. Try using a small zoomed in section as a reference layer on your own drawing and play with the color picker, going pixel by pixel adding all the different colors to your palette.
picrel is the only part where I found a non standard brush texture, where you could try making your own custom brush to recreate

>>2316556>>2316591I also feel this way. This is what was my biggest insecurity for years. I'd draw a lot and despite having dozens of drawings at any given time I'd really have nothing to show for it. It has pushed me to start trying to make more "serious" pieces recently. I haven't stopped drawing my ocs nor do I think I ever will, but I now try to make art that portrays them more interestingly than "guy just standing there on blank background" either by trying more interesting poses or compositions.
It's still lesser in the eyes of irl normies and trad artists who expect me to paint landscapes and realistic portraits but it's helped me get over not even having anything of value to show people when they ask me what I draw. Something like picrel is simple in appearance and not conceptually complex but has enough appeal that it's not a public humiliation ritual to show around. Personally if I'm not rendermaxxing a piece and keep it lightly cell shaded I add a bunch of texture overlays and it makes it looks more interesting to the eye. You don't have to stop drawing your ocs for people to take you more seriously, even if you enjoy slice of life, silly, casual kind of art. I do those too sometimes and what I realized helped its appeal was to portray it as candid shots of the situations you draw like you'd see in photography. Two friends just sharing food or something can be a very nice image if posed and composed nicely.
I do understand though that it all mostly depends on your art style, and people often don't take more cartoony work or work stylized in certain ways seriously at all, but as tired as it is to bring it up once you grind your fundies you can get over that hurdle. I'll use brujoari as an example here because anons are familiar with her work. She has cartoony art that isn't really anything that would be too hard to execute with some practice but it seems to have enough appeal to people that it got its own show, despite her just drawing silly situations of her ocs doing dumb shit as you put it.
I hope I didn't come off preachy, it is not my intention to be some arbiter of new groundbreaking knowledge because god knows I'm not some art savant either, but this is what helped me become more confident and to improve without really changing my subject matters all that much. Good luck anons!
No. 2317069
>>2316556In terms of technical skill, sometimes, but not so much subject matter. I've had thoughts that I'm uncreative because I don't care about OCs and only draw fanart, but fanart of my favorite characters is meaningful to me. There's no reason character-focused art can't be "meaningful", even if not everyone will understand that. But I also draw mainly character interactions, and I draw environments all the time, as well as trying more abstract ideas. I'm allergic to drawing characters just standing around with no interesting poses, props, or set-pieces, unless it's just practicing their design. Even if I'm not familiar with the characters, I find myself drawn to art where they're interacting with each other in an environment or has some interesting visual symbolism.

>>2317451>>2317140Illustration is all about communicating an idea, anon would not be a good illustrator if all their drawings are bland with weak concepts. My advise to anon would be to do master copies of illustrations you love, and analyze what you like about them. Pick out themes, motifs, colors, characters, poses, etc. you enjoy looking at. Analyze yourself, what movies and genres do you like, there's a reason, find out why media excites you instead of passively consuming content. Anon is correct that focusing on art fundies doesn't make you a great artist, generating ideas and executing good visuals is the hardest part about art. And learning every muscle in an anatomy book or how to paint shiny hair will not teach you how to generate good ideas.

Im glad Genice proved her right on one thing and its her P.R control because Juby has been seething left and right that she remained unaffected by her public sperging and is threatening on doing a "public callout" (acting as if she hadn't already done so on her multiple livestreams and multiple social media accounts)

Sage for not being huge drama or anything but do any other nonnies have artists who you used to love for years, only to slowly start disliking them later on?
Picrel is Little Thunder's ig page, top from 2019-ish bottom from 2024. I used to adore her early artwork, I'd been following her since she used to only post her art on Flickr (lol), but lately I find her work so dull. If it isn't a gijinka of her cats, it's the same Asian-looking anime pinup (usually in tight or revealing clothing) doing a boring pose against a boring background. Tbf she's always had a thing/gimmick of drawing the same face and focusing on beautiful women, but it just feels especially prevalent with her work nowadays.
I hate to call female artists coomery, but I can't help but feel disappointed. Even with that random screenshot I took from 2019, you can tell the art has a nicer color palette, more variety of perspective, etc… it's not just some full-body pinup against a background. Anyone with a similar experience?

>>2318555I used to really love Loputyn's art around the early 2010's, particularly her comic Les Trois Roses. It looked very beautiful and charming even if the anatomy looked a little off sometimes, the settings and outfits were super detailed and her subjects had more variety (she also used to draw more bishie men, which I particularly liked).
Then around 2015-16 Loputyn started to shift her focus and her pieces started to get a lot more sexual in tone. Young girls (I'm not saying she's a pedo or anything but it's clear she prefers drawing petite, young-looking girls) nude, in lingerie, getting fondled or pretty much haxing sex or in other intimate situations. Sure it's artistic and all and it didn't particularly offend me that much but I quickly grew bored at it. I'm glad she seems to be doing well but I was more intrigued by her older art. I get it, soft girl getting intimate something something naked something something contrast between purity and innocence and carnal desires etc etc, but if it's all she does now it's just fairly boring.

>>2318561same, i followed loputyn's works religiously. i remember it was one of my main objectives to one day draw like her because i was obsessed with the way she drew dresses. i remember it was when drawings like pic related started to get a lot of attention and popular that she started to lean more into adding suggestive themes to her art, which then evolved into her drawing essentially softcore porn. her art is still very beautiful but like you said i'm a bit bored by the constant loop about the same themes in the same styles and the same visual metaphors and so on. she also doesn't draw complex backgrounds or outfits anymore, at least not as often as she did around 2014 and 2016, which is a pity.

>she doesn't have any trauma, she has loving parents and "never went through anything in her life">her biggest trauma in life is when she worked for trigger and they didn't let her "sit at the big boy's table>at the same time she was credited as the art director for some ending animation but they never invited her to any of the meetings, juby says she "should have asked why" and that genice "leaves out information that makes her look bad" and "probably did something to warrant that">another animator got hired a year later and genice thought she was being treated better than her just because she was assertive, she got invited to those aforementioned meetings genice didn't >genice confides in juby about being jealous of the other girl, and hurt by the situation>juby says that she "frames everything as if she's the victim", says she is "spiteful" and demonizes her for having been jealous of the other girl, says she only steals because she's jealous>"feeling jealousy is not a pleasant emotion but that doesn't mean you were hurt" this is now an injoke with her husband, "hurt by jealousy">juby says that "as far as we know she could be lying about all that too because if you can steal you can lie" >calls genice a narcissist nonstop, talks about her being a psychopath and her psychopathy>juby called genice "delusional" and "self deluded" and on a call genice told her she was hurt by those comments and juby says she "won't take it back because it's true">continues to underline that she only told her that because it's the truth, and that it's not that bad and genice overreacted>genice in response called her controlling >juby knows her parents and says "they should be ashamed to have a daughter like genice">says that genice goes to therapy but "probably doesn't do any work" and "only goes there to get buttpats and validation" >genice is insecure because she has little life experience as opposed to our brave and stunning traumatized jubyIt's all like this. She sounds completely nuts. Someone should archive these streams before she wakes up and DFEs them. This woman must be an autist to have such a low level of empathy, it's the only explanation.

>>2316498i discovered some juicy gossip kek, apparently juby and genicecream on twitter had a fallout. i'm currently listening to a past broadcast of her stream, which is from three days ago during the time this is posted:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2332990367?filter=archives&sort=timei'm just around 30 minutes in and she talked about how genicecream stole from her art, to make fan merch? so this is why genice posted this..interesting
she probably halted her shop because her new merch had the things that she stole from juby.
juby complains a lot on twitter and i saw the recent marvel tracing drama, so out of curiosity i checked her twitch broadcasts because i know she vents a lot there and just found this out. i wonder how long this genice drama happened, the second newest broadcast was 11 days ago so maybe she talks about it more there or in past broadcasts too

>>2317355 but it's hard to accuse someone of stealing your concepts, especially if they're incredibly generic (like most anime flavored stories are imo) All of this sounds like pure jealousy for personal unsaid reasons, and awful for someone older to direct towards a younger person you've been friends with since before she was 18. Juby is supposedly Christian, so she should practice some grace and forgiveness.

But simultaneously, if I squint my eyes, kind of based? Like, she obsesses over these characters who are female??? Even if the female one is a TIF I think it’s ironic that all of her art is depicting females in some sort of way but then is like these are my he/him boiz.
It’s extra funny that these characters amalgamated from her yaoi art, which even then, her kakyoin was female and was the center of the jotaros affection (?). She drew kak the most and always depicted her as super pretty and adored by the other yaoi dude. Almost like the jotaro was her avatar to unabashedly glaze the female kakyoin OC. Idk. There’s something based there but I’m too retard to put it into words. Or maybe I’m just schizophrenic

Youtube artists who go "child pornography bad" over and over until they get an audience are eventually going to be eaten alive by it the second they step out of line. This person in particular clearly has the maturity to give nuanced takes but seems to backpedal hard instantly, even if the subject they're discussing is a 16 year old grooming and/or rape victim who is displaying clear signs of traumatized behavior. Mfer acting like Emily Youcis in present day is more sympathetic than literal teens trying to make sense of the world and torment they were put through.

I feel like I have studied anatomy, posing, and colors good enough where I feel like I can start making more dynamic art pieces like picrel. But I feel like this amount of studying has effectively trapped myself into staying safe and sticking to only doing studies, when I really want to be pursuing more advanced illustrations. Is there anyone here with advice on how to escape this? I also feel like art has felt a lot less fun because of this.

This is one of the few female artists I've seen online in the wild that has had such a blatant disregard for gendie etiquette, though it's also probably because this artist is Russian. I find the roundabout reasoning for not having pronouns in bio and 'I don't identify as female, I am' stuff pretty funny and also inspiring since she's not ignoring people but directly responding (though her comment section is pretty supportive). Have you nonnies seen any other female artists act this way on social media?

No. 2324320
>>2324206Start with Drawabox exercises to get your mind in the right place to think about the planes of the vehicle. Break it down into simple shapes, if you can, do lots of studies, experiment with different shading techniques to get the volume and texture across more accurately.
Watching videos on how they work could help, it helped me a lot when I was drawing motorbikes and it might help you if you want to draw something like your picrel since it'd give you a better idea of the components and how they fit together, how much space it'd take up, etc.
>>2323989It sounds like you're afraid of disappointing yourself when you don't meet your own high standards. You could take a break from doing finished pieces and stick to simple exercises that you know won't look good but will still help you improve. If you work digitally, definitely stick to traditional art for a while, just so you're not tempted to undo your work constantly. Get a sketchbook and copy something without looking at the page, or without lifting your pencil, or cut paper into simple shapes like squares and circles and glue them into your sketchbook to copy paintings you like. You'll improve your brain/hand coordination and learn to simplify shapes without getting lost in the details. Once you've become more comfortable with actually doing art, you'll start to enjoy it again.

How do you deal with frustration while working on a project you know you dont have the art skills for? I am making a game, and it makes me frustrated to know i can't reach my vision because of my lack of skill. I know its all a matter of keeping practicing, but the lingering fear of never improving is terrifying. I try to take inspiration from Zun, One, Ryukishi and Yuzhong but not gonna lie, i feel like i cant get over the art not being good enough and feeling like it diminishes my overall efforts to make a good game.

>>2325487Try focusing on drawing comics instead of just regular art, people will pay more attention to your ocs, even if it's just small short comics. In fact, that might be better as it's easier to digest to most people. I can get several thousand likes on a picture of my oc acting stupid and relatable but sub 1k on just a static image.
>>2325451Just be upfront about what type of audience you're creating content for, a lot of creators who got into shit for drawing dark fiction got an audience first by making art that seemed innocent and cutesy. While I do have a cutesy art style, my characters are always talking about shit like self harm and suicide and engaging in constant violence and things like rape and abuse are a consistent theme. I draw these things because I've faced a lot of abuse and mental health issues in my own life but teenagers online think they have a phd and have come to the conclusion that making fiction isn't a
valid way to come to terms with your trauma. Now I wouldn't say I have a fandom since I'm still pretty early into creating this content, but I have many many thousands of followers and I get some people wondering if they can make OCs in my setting, so maybe I'll get there someday, but I digress. I do occasionally receive comments trying to label me a "
problematic" creator but I just delete them and don't engage. I do, however, interact with people who are enjoying what I create as I feel extremely thankful that my work could reach other people, as it's extremely personal to me and comes from the heart. People will always be assholes, don't let them scare you out of self expression, as the majority of people will engage with your work positively unless you're literally creating ragebait.

As for actual resources here's my favourites;

>>2326994Pick artists you like who have a strong internet presence and who draw the same things you'd like to draw (excluding those who have been active for >5 years) look at what they do and how they interact with others; How often do they post, what's their following/follower ratio, do they share other artists, partecipate in challenges, etc? Take these as a baseline, then put your own spin on it (your own personality, that is to say)
It helps also to choose artists who are on your same skill level, as of course extremely skilled artists will use platforms differently from ones who aren't as skilled, but have fun ideas and a close connection to their community.

>>2323630Yes; it's good to cycle out and take breaks from digital to trad. Ideally, even if you do predominantly digital, it helps to exercise in trad. One of the nonnas mentioned as much earlier.
I'm going deep into trad this year and expanding on my pixel art as far as digital goes. No digital rendering. Was never a huge fan of it, honestly. I still do tradigital for the sake of color tests or aesthetic goals.
Really, the point is not to deny your art moods. Lean into them. You probably need the break/challenge. It'll encourage you to look at digital more as another medium instead of an entire choice to adhere to.

I'm new and might've fucked up and posted this somewhere where it shouldn'tve been before, so apologies in advance. I know this thread complains about BrujoAri every three seconds but I can't stand all her clones either. Near identical daria-esque artstyle, same "omg so retro 2000s XD" aesthetics. It even feels like this artist is trying to recreate the "I can't believe they used to be JoJos characters!" appeal with how their OCs look like berserk characters given alt makeovers, even the comments are pointing out the similarities. I get that "y2k" shit is big right now but at least try to recreate a different artstyle from the era instead of copying Brujo and the million other fags trying to skinwalk her.

>>2329326Yep that was her kek. They only lasted a few months (not very long) and things didn't work out (my guess is that it was the long distance since Holly lives in Texas and TD lives in California). They didn't give any specifics on what happened but during the relationship, Holly "found herself" and realized that she's actually a man and is now on T. I can't help but feel that this "discovery" is just the influence from Michie and her retarded ass gendie group since only like one person in their little friend group doesn't label themselves any kind of troon or enby. And it was shortly after Michie had her emotional breakdown of realizing she's enby kek.
>>2329386 >>2329406Thanks kek I know she's a drop in the bucket compared to a lot of other artspergs but I have so much to work with from time to time because of her streams and the stupid shit she says in them. I guess I feel a little restless with it because none of her friends call her out when she's saying something retarded but even when she does realize she's saying something stupid, she will just default to "TEEHEE It's the 'tism". I swear ever since she got her diagnosis for her autism (which shouldn't have been surprising to her because of how she acts), she's been on steroids with the excuses for not having common sense and blaming it on autism.
Like I mentioned in a previous thread, once upon a time she used to not be that bad but even since she got on Twitch and made friends with retarded gendie zoomers and got obsessed with Vtubing, I feel like she really has regressed. And her art well… Anatomy fundamentals, even if she's going for a cartoony style, it still looks wonky and needs refining, not more emphasis on shading.

>>2329215It's a little complicated. Scenekids main style of music that defined their scene was crunkcore (which started on MySpace) and crunkcore sounds nothing like punk. On the other hand, pop punk was also popular with the scene and that could kinda be a nod to punk but punk was never meant to be corporate or about being popular which is why during the 2000s, a lot of traditional punk rockers hated pop punk. But like other anons pointed out, DIY was also popular with scenekids what with buying their clothes from thrift stores to give that sorta of retro vibe to it with some DIY touch ups.
>>2329236I dunno anon, I was a teen during the 2000s and I was kinda in the middle and at my school, the punk kids didn't really like the scene kids. I grew up in California though so maybe location can play into this? I just remember the punk kids at my school would call scene guys "fags".
>>2329277Pretty much this. I think that the problem with these zoomers is that they "try" to get into these subcultures in an inorganic way. They hangout in places like TikTok and Pinterest and copy what they see there while not truly immersing themselves in the music. That's why a lot of the time it feels like when you see these zoomer scene/emo/goths, it feels like they're wearing a costume or playing up a character. I find that the zoomers who do feel authentic to these scenes don't tend to dress over the top and they actually display the music from these respective genres that they like and it just ends up feeling much more natural.

She hasn't been on her streams in quite some time though and Michie mentions in the video posted that she had a really bad fallout with a close friend and I'm wondering if that person was Holly.
Anyway With all the mental health issues Holly has, it's no wonder why being around Michie and the others have only exacerbated it because as I said in the other post, their group enables retardation. Does Holly still live with her mother and sister? I wonder if they've been actively trying to help her. Not that it's their obligation since Holly is an adult but it seemed like they had a good relationship so they'd more than likely be helping her keep up on herself.

>>2329817I like watercolour, it is very finicky and only looks good on certain types of paper and it's better for larger paintings (at least >A4, ime 1x1m was the sweet spot) where it won't run as much or muddy details.
As for mediums I hate, I loathe acrylics and pastels, for acrylic I just hate the way the paint feels to use and I don't particularly like how I'm painting with plastic, pastels just fucking get everywhere and look bad.

On the other hand, OCs that serve to tell a real story, carry a theme, or just look cool/ show off their technical skill make me follow the artist.

>>2329700> so maybe location can play into this? Imo that's my experience of being a terminally online teenager who moved around and straddled a lot of alternative scenes.
The younger people online trying to replicate these past youth trends can't get it spot on because they're coming from an American flanderized Pinterest soup whereas the actual movements weren't that clean cut and globally universal, and not everything was online, and not everything that ended up online stayed online. Blanket statements like "punks hate scene kids" can't work because there was no singular spokesperson for those movements, it just depended whether or not your local area had enough alternative teenagers around to start hating each others factions, or whether they had to band together. It's weird how the younger artists decide they understand everything because they watch a TikTok video.
I imagine scene kids being called fags was a universal truth, but also they said it so much themselves about others kek

It really fucking doesn't.

If she made a callout post it might get a few thousand likes (if the first part is clickbaity enough) but callouts have never mattered. A big one might lead to a person losing like 2% of their following but people just don't care about someone's personal issues as long as they can continue to see the slop they signed up for. It only starts to impact an artist if they pay attention to it publically. If you start sperging about drama all day you'll lose followers because that's not what people care to see.

Also, if Juby ever goes anywhere with her project, it may be notable to pay attention to the part where her self-insert "suffers endless abuse from friends and foes alike".

I’m pretty outnumbered by the other jurors in my skepticism of her. She also regularly tries to sow distrust for the other community artists, my guess is because she feels threatened by competition. She gossips about them with TOs and constantly tweets that she’s being persecuted by other artists. There is no excuse to be publicly tweeting this unprofessionally about your coworkers.

Idk if anybody here remembers shunao but she is down that path imo. Just a few months ago she falsely accused somebody of sexually victimizing her as part of a bandwagon (the accused has since been proven innocent). Unlike shunao, everybody just let her get away with it for some reason. The tweets are even still up even though its been widely agreed upon that this person got hunted for basically no reason.

>>2334328There are many ways to go about it and I’ve often felt the same. But the more you study, your more your anxiety will fade.
My personal method is focusing on whatever I ‘need’ at a given time. For example, I was doing an illustration and I realized I hated the way I was doing hands, and I was struggling so hard. I then set a goal for myself: spend 20 hours drawing hands. While practicing hands, I also felt like the rest of my anatomy needed brushing up, so I set similar study goals.
I was doing some background painting for a film project, and I felt like I hated how I was doing it. I spent 30 hours doing speed paints, and it helped me a lot. While doing those speed paints, I also realized I wasn’t confident on my building/perspective skills, so I worked in that. I’m really happy with where my regular studying got me now.
It can seem so overwhelming, but you’ve got your whole life to improve! What matters is working on things one at a time, and not giving up. Focus on one specific thing you are most insecure about first, and then reapply the method for the rest. Ganbatte Nonna-san!

>>2335062>She seems concerned about having 'the right opinion'Exactly what I feel. She does that thing I notice quite a few female commentary channels (not just art related) do where they'll feel the need to force a billion unnecessary disclaimers across the video. Hypothetical example, if she made a video about art tropes she doesn't like and one of those was pure black shading she would spend at least three whole minutes going on like "usually it's advised to not use pure black shading, but now, I'm not saying nobody should ever use it. Some people like using it in their style, and that's super
valid. This is up to personal taste, and it's possible to make it work. I would never tell you not to use it, because people that judge others' style are
toxic assholes and I would never want to be like that. You're so
valid and I support you and your pure black shading". I mostly only watch her "[x] art tropes I hate", and they're particularly bad in that because she always feels the need to go on a tangent about how it's ok if you like these things because cringe culture is bad at least two or three times per video. Her specific opinions don't even matter to me, it's the redundantly eggshelly way of talking that annoys me.
Completely OT but she reminds of a video from a female commentary channel I once saw going over a shock/gore content iceberg, where she not only gave a full disclaimer at the beginning (understandable) but then on almost every single topic she kept going on weirdly sanctimonious diatribes/disclaimers, eg: if a cartel video was mentioned she would just spend five minutes telling the viewer that she doesn't wanna talk about it because cartels are bad and killing people is bad and cartel members are bad people because they kill people, which is bad, as if the viewer was a 5yo.>>2334800>>2334858If I didn't know her, that "nigganese" would make me assume this is a troll pretending to be her.

I deep down always thought this but I also thought her work was cute in a way but that view has since went away and now I just can't look at it. It's definitely unique in the sense that you when you see it, you know it's a LavenderTowne piece but is it good? Eh… Debatable.
I think the reason why she was so successful was because she was one of the first who really took the speedpaint commentary style and uploaded frequently with lots of stories to share, she was great to put on for background noise and at the time, there weren't a ton of a speedpaint commentary artists who were uploading at such a frequency like she was. So I think her success was justifiably earned even if her style isn't the most appealing.

So then you have people like JuniDrwz who say the shit that you mentioned like how minors drawing porn of other minors is CSEM when it just isn't and all it is is inappropriate and more than likely a response to our porn saturated culture that has minors finding it on social media like Twitter (and before then Tumblr) and how it's so easily accessible for kids these days than it was for a lot of us who grew up in the late 90s and 2000s.
I think it's because she's like 18 or 19 and wants to feel self-righteous in calling stuff out but doesn't realize that this is not one of them.
No. 2335980
>>2334409I sometimes watch her content and I've been aware of her since her earlier days as well.The topics she comes up with are a bit sophomore to me but I think that's because I'm also a lot older than her and some of the topics she talks about are some I've already engaged with in the past and the few times I tried to give a listen to her on topics I'm already familiar with, I just didn't get any useful or frankly interesting insight from her so I stopped watching them. Her art style leaves a lot to be desired but it probably doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of traditional full-on anime styles and hers just looks super generic and bland, nothing really stands out so her videos at the time were mostly just background noise. I agree with
>>2335062 with how it seems like she tries to say the right opinion and it comes off as insecure and disingenuous which probably explains why sometimes when she's commentating, she sounds like she's on the verge of crying, she has a very strange quality to her voice that always made me feel like she was holding back tears or something.
Overall she's an inoffensive channel at best but not one I'm all that into.

Like girl just shut up, it's okay to have things you don't like and you don't need to go on a 3 minute tangent trying to soften up those who may not agree with you, that is what the comments are for. When in the middle of a video, no one wants to sit around and hear you try to weasel your way out of potential counter feedback with pointless fluff and it just makes you look like you lack a backbone with your own opinions.
This is not to say you have to be a jerk when sharing why you don't like something but for the love of god, stop with the redundant sanctimonious filler.

Have nonnas here ever been "cancelled", even on a small scale of one person screeching at you? If so, how did you handle it? I think ignoring/blocking is the effective solution, but I'm not exactly sure on how much the landscape has changed compared to ~2014 and it seems more intimidating than before if I'm being honest.
My biggest fear is if I get unlucky and a schizo fakes screenshots and tries to ruin my life or something like that.

I feel like the biggest difference between online styles between eastern and western artists is how a lot of eastern artists prefer portraying idealized subjects and many western artists are taught to portray less idealized subjects. I also feel like this has impacted how a lot of retards act online, like how many weebs can't stomach anything less than bishies in their games or movies and how western fandoms think it's a form of activism to always draw a minority as some ugly animal. I just think it's neat to notice.

>>2336592Now that you mention, people who love drawing fictional characters as extremely ugly only do it to women too. If it's men, they draw them super handsome, at most they'll draw old men yaoi. Maybe it's in protest to beauty standards for women, but these fuckers ALWAYS draw these characters as so much uglier than any of these women irl actually are. They'll go "and why do you think these features are ugly, hmmmm?" when it's literally that they're depicting them ugly on purpose. The women they're trying to give "representation to" are actually just fat with a plain face but they make them look like goblins and call it "
POC features".

This indie cartoon mentioned in previous threads is nearing completion of its pilot apparently. It has 52 kingdoms (including names like Fabrication, Particle and Intuition lmao) and each kingdom represents a specific culture. I feel like this sort of "diversitymaxxing" behaviour is common among artists these days, which I guess has its pros and cons. But honestly can you even consider it representation if said character shows up for 10 seconds because there are 100 other characters to compete with for screen time? Imo I feel like less is more so you can explore each culture in depth. Maybe this sort of stuff will actually help boost the cartoon's popularity once it comes out, judging by the comments full of kids begging for their own countries' rep
Also the character designs are shit and don't do a good job representing different countries imo

The last time I checked in on her she was making weird scrotey porn of Aztec chiefs and blonde white missionary women under the name popthesnowman (which she seems to have wiped from the internet since) and whining about how ugly modern Western infrastructure is compared to muh Roman Empire. I thought she was a lesbian for the longest time, but the idea that she came under the influence of a moid makes sense looking at what she's been up to in recent years.

>>2338228>I don’t know how old you are but I assume older than 18, and you’re not good already? Girl I’m sorry but you’re cooked.Oh shush, you talk like someone born in 2004-2007. Being able to make art is a technical skill at its core, all you have to do is train it efficiently. Same for the theory side of things, you just need to read about and look at art. You don't lose all your neuroplasticity and get dementia the instant you turn 18. All the amazing young artists either have enough time on their hands to put the work into it, come from a well off arty family, or have been emotionally and sometimes even physically abused (corporeal punishment) to make art better than you (aka Russian and Chinese art school students). The similarity between all of these is time and effort, being a child has nothing to do with it and so many of these young artists end up plateauing or even degrading over time.

>>2340470>the only good webtoon is the queens don't cry memeWtf. There are many actual fine artists who went into commercial art and are creating comics, but because Korea only exports the scroll format, the good creators that put effort into their comics are forced into a box and made to pull all-nighters to keep up with deadlines every week, literally eroding their health to the point where one artist had a miscarriage, and another artist announced she had to stop her comic before it ended because the nerves in her shoulder were so damaged the doctors said if she didn't retire now they'd have to amputate her arm. But of course the only webtoons that get mainstream attention are those with the shittiest art just for people to laugh at all those silly webtoons with overuse of 3d assets.

>>2340710>>2340745I'm not even arguing that most of them suck, but there are some pretty good ones and I think considering they're decades behind the manga industry we shouldn't be so hard on them by discrediting every single one made. Yes the 3d and brush asset abuse is horrible (manga artists also do this but whatever I suppose), yes they're ugly as fuck a lot of the time because of the colouring or stylisation but that doesn't take away from the fact that some look great and have really interesting stories to tell. They're not all in the same style either, that criticism is like if I brought up picrel everytime you wanted to talk about manga.
>>2340727True, but anons are obviosly talking about manhwa and manhua and not western webtoons.

Is this not weight gain fetish art?? The artist only drew skinny/muscular people before this, so this may genuinely just be practice.
But it’s interesting how a slight rewording of intention can change everything. It’s not weight gain/tf fetish art, it’s body type practice art, and now everyone loves it instead of being creeped out(That’s still sort of my reaction though, it’s hard not to divorce this kind of imagery from fetish artists)

So about using poses, it's not stealing if the poses are meant to be copied? Surely it's better to get into the habit of changing something about the pose or practice anatomy or making up our own. I'm worried someone will call me out for using a free-to-use pose with my art
No. 2341638
>>2341530NTA but I remember there was some retarded fallout where someone accused another of copying their pose of one of those cookie run characters. I think it did turn out that the copy cat did use their art as inspo (no tracing but did the same subject doing similar poses iirc) but it also turned out that official art of the same character also used that pose so people made fun of them for getting mad over something they also did. The whole thing was really fucking dumb.
I could’ve sworn “pose theft” was a huge thing on DA when it was alive lol.

>>2341401If you're learning it's not an issue. Copy and rip off to your heart's content.
It's only an issue when you're doing a piece and EVERYONE is using the same reference for the same pose with the same perspective. It's a bit uncanny.
When you're studying via figure drawing, even though there's no right or wrong way to do figure art, you're generally encouraged to try and exaggerate or do something kind of different.

>>2341776I feel like i saw characters with a pose similar to this so many times.
Again nothing wrong with it and anyone trying to cancel you or all you out is a no life loser.
It's just for creativity's sake, a bit weird.
But don't worry about it if you're learning, that's part of the process.

Does anyone here have figures they use as reference? i am looking for an anatomically correct skeleton and wonder if anyone knows of any brand that especializes on mannequins for drawing. I would also like one that has all the muscles. 3D models dont hit the same.

>>2341996I don't know, I'm usually just unsure and don't hold any negative or positive view towards it. My main concern is just because as a client I don't know if what I'm paying is more inflated compared to another client.
For more information, I haven't actually purchased art before but have sometimes thought about it but have seen sometimes artists saying commissions are open but I see no details about the general pricing.

>>2342181If you're going to make a evil cannibalistic deer monster, that's not a actual wendigo (they're more skinwalker-esque humanoid giants) so you're fine on the cultural appropriation front, just don't call it wendigo because it's not. The idea of a cannibalistic/cannibalism inducing spirit isn't something unique to Native American culture either (jè-rogues come to mind immediately for example).

>>2341969Tbh I actually think that art style theft is a thing. Some artists really do have distinct enough art styles to immediately tell when someone is copying their style. Is there something wrong with it? Well it’s a morally gray area, I can understand why people would take issue of others mimicking their style.
For example, Chinese artist ASK (askziye) is probably the artist whose style I’ve seen copied the most, at least in anime circles. Then there’s mgong520 and that random slav artist who is obviously copying her style kek, it even promoted mgong to make a tweet about it

>>2342288Yeah in some rare cases it is real if the artist is big enough (like the grifters skin walking brujoari), but like 9 times out of 10 it's some random sperg complaining about a (usually younger) artist using a completely generic style. Like that dumbass angomango who claimed she owned that more animu style of drawing the sonic characters (even tho sonic x came out like a decade before her).
