Frequently Asked Questions
>Where can I download brushes and CSP assets?Resources such as /dbag/ are easy to find online.
>How do I schedule my art?Professional artist's schedules are easy to find online, however these may be unsustainable long term and it might be better to use them for references for you to build your own rather than attempting to follow them to a T.
>Is drawing furry or porn profitable? Will it give me clout?It can be, but the market is incredibly saturated and coomers and furries already have artists they want to commission. You will be competing against thousands of people, consider what makes you stand out and if you really want to sink time and effort into something you may not enjoy even a little.
>Questions regarding AIBoth the AI thread in /m/ or the AI Debate thread might be more suitable.
>What is this style called/who is this artist?Use reverse image search (yandex, tineye, etc.) or the Help Me Find thread.

>>2503778>Purely out of curiosity though, how do you feel about the shift? Do you prefer professional over commissions?I love art so it's not like I mind either. They both have pros and cons. When you're a pro artist at a company like I was the deadlines are serious, so it's odd for me to not get one for commissions. It still shocks me seeing artists who take commissions that they might finish in 4 months, half a year, or maybe later, who knows! The worst ethics of some artists shock me.
The worst thing about working for a company is the art is more often than not their property now. I can't post it or share it. But it's also so highly customised to their brand that it doesn't necessarily feel like my own art anyway. It's cool to work on so many different projects! Seeing your art out in the wild at a real company is an amazing feeling!
Commissions are fun because I get to work directly with people who are passionate about their OC, or whatever they want me to draw. It feels more personal and I love the excited reactions from people. I've been lucky enough not to run into creeps or weirdos yet, but I imagine it's less fun having to deal with them myself rather than having my boss handle it for me.
I prefer doing both at the same time, which I did for a period and will aim for again in the future. You'd think I'd burn out but I have a workaholic personality when it comes to art so it doesn't tire me out.

>>2503961Nta but I agree with you regarding artists commission deadlines. There have been several artists that I've wanted to commission and planned to tip high (bc their prices were really low for the quality) but I chose not to when I got to the part where they basically might not ever finish my commission or could decide to drop it at any given time.
As an aside to the other anon, I love the kind of client who just loves your art and lets you go. My favorite client just told me to do whatever, draw her characters or don't just "show off" basically. She paid extremely well, tipped into the hundreds and never bothered me about anything. I felt like a Renaissance artist sponsored by the Medici family lol.

>>2504067Glad to inspire someone!
Honestly one of the best pieces of advice I can give is to simply stay professional/neutral online. I see sooo many artists who ruin their own reputations! Don't shitpost too much, please do not throw self-pity parties as it makes you look incredibly whiny and unable to handle normal stress. Don't post about how slow you are at drawing and that you're months behind on commissions (I see so much of this!). You can still be fun and quirky and have your own personality, but it's gonna look better if you drop anything that isn't "brand friendly" so to speak: don't post about doing drugs, don't post thirst traps, don't beg for money, don't post/repost sexual things, don't be too political.

One of the very first (and few) artists I commissioned as a wee 15 or so year old made a public post cancelling all current commissions without paying any money back. I woved then to never do that myself, and I'm still incredibly critical of people who don't finish the work they take on now. That artist is also the reason I was fairly distant and unknowing of the commission scene until I evetually started doing it myself.

>>2505646Prefacing this by saying I am not really keeping up with this chick. I think her new style is
alright. It's not as bad as the anons who have emotional connections to her old art claim it is. However. The absurdly pointy tits and the over abundance of piercings draws away from the appeal of the new design…? The old art
is charming though. I tried combining her old style with the new design to see what it would look like. Suffice to say, I'm not a fan. Something about the skinnier design is more appealing.
>>2505788holy shit kek
No. 2505817
>>2505797Yours is really cute but it doesn't resemble her art style at all it's too much of a departure. I don't get why she's changing her art style so much now that she is supposedly working on an animated project, she has the fans she does for her old art style not for her current experimentation. Her new art style is looking less distinct and more modern and generic. I believe the person who suggested she was making these changes to avoid being accused of giving teenage girls eating disorders might be correct.
>>2505660The red hair is too iconic a part of the design, she can't just change that.
No. 2505820
>>2505646imo the her older, more exaggerated styles have a stronger sense of appeal– not in a personal sense, but in that of the animation principle. I don't think that her new style is necessarily
bad, but I do think it feels like it's not quite there yet to be something that looks eye-catching or stylish when animated or used in a comic, and her newer art feels like it has less flow and energy than her older stuff (pretty normal for an artist trying to improve fundies to over-correct like that though or have their art turn more 'mundane' or stiff).
tbh I mostly just think it's odd that she'd choose
now to make a major stylistic shift in her work, but otherwise I don't have strong opinions on Brujo/her art.
No. 2505821
>>2505797Woah, so cute! Yours is definitely my favorite variation, and has the best anatomy.
>>2505817I think it looks great as a sweet spot between the two designs, but I can see why you would think it isn't distinctly brujo-esque, especially trying to imagine it in isolation. It would be interesting to try bringing back a little more from each side, like pushing it a little more towards the exaggerated skinny shoujo proportions in the old version, leaving a few more wrinkles and slight messiness like the newer one, and making her a touch more pointy over all.
No. 2505881
>>2505817That makes sense.
>but it doesn't resemble her art style at all it's too much of a departure.I was beginning to notice that too. It was fun to do though, and I think I have a bit of a better understanding what's missing in her new art style. Lowkey? I kinda recommend everyone who hates her new art style to do this too; it's pretty enlightening and might give everyone a better idea of what it is that they
miss about that style.

>>2505797I kind of really like the long legs, but that's just because I like spaghetti legs in general. There's an appeal to them that was what initially drew me to brujo's art. For better or for worse it's the kind of stylistic choice an artist has to make. Some anons here like realistic bodies, some like heavy stylized.
The triangle tits are terrible though. They only worked
because everything else was so heavily stylized. When she tried to make her art style more realistic features like long doll legs also stopped working or looked wonky.

>>2503946Nonnas how could I achieve this look in my sketches? I like the 2010s tumblr sketch style but mine lacks the fluidity. Whenever I go into a piece thinking I'll post it as a sketch, it ends up looking stiff with bad line weight. My sketches are too messy to clean up, and my finished art is too time consuming and neat to look loose. I use an outdated version of manga studio so my brushes are either too soft: airbrush, lighter pencil and watercolor, or the pen and oil brushes which are too sharp. Looking for a good brushpack but I know a bad artist blames her tools, so I want to practise technique first.

'where are her organs!!!' mfs. i like the new body type better but I also love when people stylize female bodies in cartoons (unless it's coomer shit). i have no strong feelings about her art but it does seem like her improvement has stagnated. the dull colours over a grey background are not helping.
haven't been keeping up with brujo as much as other nonnies so correct me if I am wrong - but kate is supposed to be a social outcast? i think that shows a but more clearly in her new design. she used to be just as skinny, pretty, and feminine as the popular girls but she was a nlog outcast for uhh. liking rock music and having dyed hair or something. i do not like the way she is smirking at me in picrel though lol. also seems like her new art has a lot of unnecessary extra lines.

>>2506091This is a take that is made after just waking up, but I think this is less to do with "2010s style" and more to do with that era of artist being more willing to upload any ans everything during that period. On Tumblr, everyone had less professionalism, and would upload their WIPs, tutorials, and resources openly.
That being said, the fluidity you seek is likely acheivable through brute force. My own sketches were really stiff for a time as well, but doing
daily, timed gesture drawings will loosen you up. The shorter the time period given to draw, the more you'll be forced to draw what you believe are the key parts of the subject. I know it sounds irrelevant, but once you build this warm up into your daily routine, it becomes a habit. The faster you draw, the more loose, and then you'll be doing the same thing in casual sketches.
May I ask what tablet model you use? I also recommend upping the sensitivity of your brushes (presuming Manga Studio is in fact Clip Studio Paint) so that the line weight is more openly reflected by your strokes.

>>2506466>My sketches are too messy to clean up I took a second glance of your post and only really answered two of your concerns kinda. The key to a clean sketch is to use fewer lines overall. The chicken-scratch method can end up
hurting more than helping, so learning to achieve things with fewer lines (i.e. two lines for the arms, one line for the neck, fewest strokes imaginable) should help too. I can post some examples in a bit when I get back to my computer.
>my finished art is too time consuming and neat to look loose. This one is curious. I wonder if you are hard-locking yourself into a specific way of rendering finished art products. May benefit you to experiment a bit, but I think that's where new brushes come into play. If you start using CSP, I can throw you my "graphite" brush that glides beautifully for screen-less tablets like the Intuos. Though, settings vary per person.
>I use an outdated version of manga studio so my brushes are either too soft: airbrush, lighter pencil and watercolor, or the pen and oil brushes which are too sharp.

triggered by this and was jealous that Genice was enjoying herself in Hawaii while she was stuck working under a deadline and suffering from a kidney infection. I found the clip for you. Later on in the stream, she basically blamed Genice for causing her kidney infection and making her sick

>>2507029>The language I used in that document is inappropriate outside of Christian contexts, and should have only been exchanged among trusted individuals, with consent from all parties.i wouldn’t say it’s appropriate within a ”christian context” either, trying to invoke jesus in a fight over donut steel OCs seems like blasphemy if anything kek.
she really shouldn’t have adressed the schizo manifesto at all, claiming juby gave her symptoms of psychosis makes genice sound ridiculous. she should’ve just ignored it or said she was trolling. i can’t wait to see how juby will sperg about this though.

No. 2507153
>>2507138To be fair, a lot of people said that Genice seemed like she was having a psychotic breakdown and criticized Juby for annotating the manifesto. She might have addressed the manifesto because of that. Definitely excited to see Juby's response. She often streams at this time so she's probably awake right now. I'd love to be a fly on the wall and listen to her reaction kek
>>2507142No problem! I'm actually not even sure Genice was at Kawaii Kon this year. I don't think she posted about it on social media, but I could be wrong. It'd be funny if Juby had that meltdown over nothing.
>i wonder if they gave sympathy to genice which is why juby sperged out about thatUnfortunately, I don't think we'll ever know. Juby did mention that a mutual told her Genice was defending herself, so she has at least one person keeping tabs on Genice
No. 2507244
>>2507027Noooo, it was so obvious that Juby was desperate for a reaction, I thought Genice was at least subconsciously aware of this and purposefully not giving her what she wanted. Juby is probably beaming inside right now.
To be fair, it seems Genice gets more professional work than Juby, so maybe she was more concerned about potential commissioners/employers finding Juby's callout post (average company is probably not gonna delegate a whole person to comb through all the docs and comments and quote tweets and go hunt for 6 months worth of twitch archives to verify that the billion page callout wasn't made by a semi-schizo BPDemon out for blood over a petty vendetta) and missing out on work opportunities, rather than just the internet shit flinging side of it. Juby did say she wanted to ruin Genice's career.
I can't completely call her a retard for responding, but I really hope she actually sticks to "not making further comments".
>>2507142The way Juby sperged about it, it sounded like the "lies" were just Genice saying something like "I did not copy her OCs on purpose as part of a machiavelian scheme to ruin Juby's life" and Juby getting mad that she couldn't convince their mutual friends that Genice is a literal demon. It was also obviously just an excuse to publically name Genice, so it's too dumb and meaningless to bother responding to at all.

This was no doubt about Genice nearly releasing her project before her, my sides.

No. 2508966
>>2506091>sketches too messyMy sketches also used to be
very messy, I 'fixed' this by adding some limitations when I drew– no erasing/using pens only, and starting the drawing again if I fucked something up rather than editing it. It's rough at first, but it teaches you to both get the line you
want to put down right first, and to also not be so precious about sketches (eg thinking that you've drawn the arm perfect and will never match it again, even though you fucked up the torso/perspective and then trying to edit into looking right. You drew it right once, you can draw it right again, and the practice will make you more likely to do so next time as well).
>general lack of fluidity/finished art not retaining sketch fluidityGoing off the above, try and get your sketch lines to be roughly your 'final' lines– keep them clean, using as few as possible, and make sure the information they convey is 'focused' (sketches can often appear to have more fluidity due to an abundance of lines, which allows your eye to sorta fill in blanks and see the best forms by averaging them out, which you can lose when you clean the sketch or do lineart. Having fewer, more confident and decisive lines in your sketch will help to avoid this). Try to incorporate more long and flowing/energetic lines/shapes while constructing your forms.
>picrelimo this sketch was likely done over the top of a rougher or construction drawing layer, and has had some clean up/line thickness added as well in key areas. Only bringing this up because a lot of 'sketch' art will not be the
literal first sketch and will instead have a couple of layers or rounds of editing behind it that you don't see, and that's good to keep in mind when setting goals for your art. Familiarity with a subject will also allow you to draw them much more cleanly and fluidly than if you're hopping from subject to subject, which can be particularly noticeable with fanart.
>brushesYour picrel looks like it's been done with a simple hard round brush with pressure based opacity and thickness. Imo, the best brushes to sketch with are the ones that 'feel' best to use, which sounds weird, I know, but you'll get it once you find one.
Lastly, the other anon is spot-on about regularly doing timed gesture studies, and I'll also suggest looking into resources/exercises for animation and breaking down a sketch with the kind of flow you like to figure out what's making it work as well. Hope any of this waffle was helpful, and good luck with your sketching anon!

>>2509817it depends on what you mean by "get good", but if you mean being able to draw a wide range of things well (regarding colour, composition, anatomy, poses, perspective), studying ancient artists is certainly one way you could do it. studying artists that are proficient (or artists that you like in general) is just as good. it's important to keep in mind what you intend to improve when doing these studies, which is why i personally divide my studying into categories (figure drawing one session, recreating the values of a painting i like the next, dicking around and seeing how i've improved the next next). plus, ancient artists didn't have loomis or anything and just studied from life a lot of the time. most importantly, have fun

Saw this tweet on my timeline. My first thought was if his sister could’ve possibly been trans but that was probably me being terminally online. I searched for mentions of sister on his account and well…
Side note, I remember this guy bitching about anime expo’s newest artist alley rules where they introduced a lottery system this year, and how veterans like him were getting fucked over because it was their livelihood. What did we think about the new lottery system, was it ever discussed here? Personally I think it was a nice change, I saw so many big entitled artists be upset at anime expo not inviting them again. Mind you these people have been getting invited to the largest anime con in America for consecutive years. At the same time, I saw many people get invited for the first time, so that’s nice

Thoughts on using AI-generated backgrounds with intent to blur the everloving fuck out of them to make as backgrounds for refsheets? I think it would beat using images scavenged from Google without credit, especially if done for a paying client that is focusing on the characters presented.
No. 2511292
>>2511273I am
relatively sure this specific artist just takes things from Google without crediting photographers, and then charges up the ass for it. You could also just use the airbrush, but using a free AI generator to make some mutated image with neat colors, plop it on the back in several seconds seems like it'd be convenient in my opinion. So, in essence, for convenience.

I know I'm being petty here. I am positive of it.
But whenever I see beginner level artists getting expensive set-ups, it is insane to me. All that money so that you can just fucking suck ass on expensive equipment. It's not for you, it's for assisting people who actually can fucking draw. I remember seeing an extremely expensive screen tablet go to some 15 year old coomer womb-tattoo artist and god I need to find the screen cap. Her art was atrocious and she refused to listen to the older members of the art server to stop posting sexualized coomslop.

No. 2511763
>>2511714No, you are not a furry for drawing anthropomorphic characters. Not even coomers who draw furry coom just sometimes are.
Being a furry means being part of the furry community. It means having a fursona, actively partecipating in furry communities and basically mostly getting into media that features furries. It's an alt lifestyle and a cringe-ass one at that, with many disgusting people that only the most autistic would be ok with associating with.
The whole "If you draw anthros it means you're a furry!!!" scare is a relic from the old internet where furries were bullied and they desperately needed material to clapback at trolls by showing them how even normal artists like Beatrix Potter were furries. It also is part of their cult-like behaviors where they scream ONE OF US! ONE OF US! at anyone who enjoys drawing furry-adjacent things ranging from anthros, cartoon animals, et cetera.
Then retards who hate furries also started calling everyone who draws anthros furries and they extended this idiocy to characters with animal ears, basically doing the work of furry fandom zealots for them.
Hell, if we want to make real life examples, have you ever seen VivziePop call herself a furry despite drawing the cringiest sparkledogs of all time? She even sexualizes them (ew).If she isn't a furry, neither are you.
It's all about your attitude, what you do, what you draw and how you live it.
tl;dr: no, draw your cute anthros in peace and don't give furfags attention.

also tbh I kinda hate the idea that you have to reach a certain arbitrary skill level to be 'worthy' of a piece of tech or type of art supply, but if it really bothers you so much, think of it instead as a potential opportunity– artists with little to no skills who rush to jump into the deep end of set ups tend to also be the type to get bored and eventually sell their otherwise fine tablets etc for cheap on the secondhand market.

>>251202i think most people on social media just want constant compliments on everything they do, and since they're so used to getting praise, at some point they just arent able to handle criticism and they also dont care since their art already gets them the attention they want so they act like any criticism (even when positive and somewhat obvious) is hate

>>2512526This artist was a pro storyboarder, when the animation industry went down the shitter she attempted to make and market her own original story, Enceladus V. She posted it to youtuber, twitter and notably, tiktok. It was made in a vertical format. Well, tiktok took down her video and banned her account because the automod thought she was reposting commercial content and she wasn't able to get it appealed. She had the most engagement on tiktok so losing her account was a big blow.
She's been really open about how time consuming and expensive indie animation is. Generally people only notice the ones that are successful, those that fail recede from memory and the creators fade away. I think she's been as vocal as she has because the success of things like Murder Drones have given a lot of people unrealistic expectations for the future of indie animation. Anna is frustrating to follow not because she's a cow but because she obviously feels negative about her experiences and because she's not bitching about nothing, she just keep getting L's. For her sanity I think she should delete all social media and pivot to a completely different industry.

I vaguely remember reading the /snow/ thread where she was discussed and it was screencaps of the characters standing close together so if that was fetish shit it was pretty mild and not something I was able to pick up on so I don't really care. I will agree I think her story pitch felt really generic and lacked the appeal to become popular. Would have worked better as prose but I'm still skeptical.

>The person behind ShortBox (Zainab Akhtar, who is a Muslim woman) told Thought Bubble that they weren't comfortable with Frank Miller being a guest due to his anti-Muslim work. Thought Bubble decided to keep Frank Miller as a speaker anyways so she announced that she would no longer be attending Thought Bubble, not wanting to give a platform to those who espouse hatred of any kind.>ShortBox is pretty notable and award-winning, so their absence is kind of a big deal. So, with ShortBox bowing out, Thought Bubble had the publicity to drop Frank Miller.and more info about shortbox itself: basically it might be the biggest online art-centered fair and it is highly competitive, the amount of applications it gets each year rises and this year it got +1.9k applications, but only around ~130 get accepted. mind you, zainab will often re-invite artists who got in for consecutive years, while countless artists will keep getting rejected kek.
so this event is pretty damn hard to get in, the indie comic scene is already a place that needs as much support and uplifting, so having her be a narcissist and gatekeep more ways of artists to spread their work is laughable.
there’s a 95% that the new event cartoonist coop announced last year is the reason for her melty in the previous reply, called “nib & ink festival”

The question is, would it help if I literally just traced over anime drawings I like until my brain/hand remembers how to copy it by default? Or is that just lazy and bad?

>>2514383Use the Japanese how to draw manga books. The ones with Japanese author names. You can find them on archive.org. they give a more authentic anime style than the how to draw books with western authors. The style is dated, but that's imo one of the positives about it. Each book has a different style. Also check out manga materials and naoki saito channels on YouTube. Live your anime dreams nonna.

>>2514389>>2514418This is untrue, the verbiage was just different (I was there and one of them….) If anything, you were butch first and then might not have words for it but you just "wanted to be a guy" and got irritated when you continued to be referred to as a girl. Some people grew out of it and some people didn't and grew up to be kind of middle aged looking but ultimately normal transmen. I just don't it's possible for any zoomer to imagine it because "being trans" was a secret, there was no flag and you were trying to pass or transition and go on with your life. Most women you'd call tifs these days were also not straight. Not relevant to me anymore as I got it figured out and am just a butch lesbian now kek.
To keep this on topic, I only know this artist from these threads but the way she repeats herself through drawings (ref sheets over and over, hasty redraws of older, better works) it's not about the anatomy or the style it just looks like someone burning out in real time. She could have fattened her old style up so to speak I think she just has no idea what to do with herself.

This man is over 30 years old and this is what he does with his time because somebody send him a quite polite bit of disagreement. It is an easy way to get absolutely nobody to disagree with you, nobody will dare to speak to him about anything and he will bask in his egoism until it gets too boring and he will start programming AI on your art unprovoked.

>>2506459If anything, the new style feels
more coomerish and exaggerated to me with the thicker busts and thighs. People like to say it's more realistic, but is it really? Every female character still has an idealised "thicc" figure with a small waist. And no, giving Kate some half-assed fat rolls in ugly porn pictures doesn't count. At least the old style's lanky proportions produced unique (and period accurate, cartoon-wise) silhouettes. Nowadays Brujo's style looks like every coomer artist except she tries to jigsaw the realistic anatomy together with sharp, stylised y2k art tropes, and in my opinion it just doesn't look good at all.

>>2515703>what is the plotVibes. It could be an episodic/semi-episodic comedy, but with this premise (picrel) it would require a lot of creativity and good comedic writing to come up with engaging episodes that don’t feel like a tired rehash of every other teenage comedy/drama/romance.
It would really help if Brujo fleshed out characters beyond just Kate and Alex, as well as developed those characters’ relationships with Kate/Alex. Because the best shows often have a well-established main cast and multiple compelling dynamics and personalities within that cast, which provides a lot of potential for episode ideas and fun interactions.
And frankly, Kate and Alex’s dynamic alone just isn’t that interesting, mainly because of Alex having the personality of sopping cardboard. There is potential if Brujo develops the dolls, that short chubby girl, and Kate’s friend group (idk if Brujo cares about them anymore, but it’d be fun having a gang of loser/outcast girls in the main cast. They could be a foil to the dolls and maybe even Kate, maybe she’s the only annoying nlog in their group kek). Alex’s friends could be interesting as side characters who appear occasionally and have their nerd/band shit going on as a subplot.

From those 9 people, only two professionals/industry people are following her from my list, manny_oe and Kat Tsai.
300 following is still a pretty low count for any platform nona so it’s not too surprising that no one you know is following her. But I’m also pretty terminally online and I’ve honestly never heard of brujo or even seen her art anywhere until I started visiting these threads.
Most popular artists with like 30k and above followers will usually have at least one or more people I follow following them, so it does make me puzzled when I see an artist with tens of thousands of followers having zero people I know following them.

If there is no more original media to consume they get into fanfiction and then just personal interests. At that point the characters will be almost unrecognizable but they don't let go of them because they fear losing followers or don't have any original ideas to replace them with.

>>2518214I think most people will just never know or care. I’ve posted a drawing on /ic/ even though im in several groups where i could be canceled for doing so.
I must emphasize that i have never, ever seen a callout of any kind that showed an artist posted to lolcow or 4chan, and im pretty terminally online. The only time ive seen people get “canceled” for posting on lolcow was the whole art fight debacle where some tumblr troon snitched on nonas to the mods because they were scary terfs.
So think of it this way; some might want to cancel you for posting on lolcow if it’s behind the guise of anonymity, like the tumblr snitch. And it was a group thing, not a singular user thing. But afaik no one who got suspended from AF was affected on their main social media accounts, probably because they didn’t post their socials on their profiles though. But even if they did, so what? Someone would have to make a callout post publicly and say “hey guys this person posts on a
terf website” which I’ve never seen happen before. Because it’s kinda hard to get people to care about that kind of stuff. If a lolcow callout post were to actually happen then your account still wouldn’t be affected tbh, because at most only a handful of people would actually care, and they’ll do what, just block you lol?
Honestly even “big” callouts that gain a lot of attention ultimately lead to nothing. Just look at the amount of infamous artists out there who’ve been canceled but are now posting normally with no harassment. People are quick to forget

>>2518543>creature designI think this is the one thing that the current tag blocking system is bad at, because artists who do creature design on FA tend to tag their art "feral" just because they aren't anthro and there's no distinguishing tag for people who do sexual art of ferals, at least one that's widely used afaik. I've had to settle for blocking the tag and only daring to click art (blocked art still displays, but it's blurred out unless you click on it) from artists I already follow and leave everything else by the wayside so I can enjoy the site. So I wouldn't recommend furaffinity for people who do creature design, unless you're okay with dealing with a non-zero number of zoophiles and your discoverability wrt non degen creature design enjoyers being handicapped by the current tag blocking system.

>>2518214Not at all. I've been a frequent poster on /ic/ and the only problems I ran into were on-board because of men who were angry that women had a space to post work. As far as I'm concerned, I do not care if some mentally ill man feels a type of way over women having a dedicated art space that doesn't revolve around them, and the whole "but what about the gendies" shit is just a bullshit excuse to further silence women and make sure we can't ever have our own communities, while men get to go wherever they want no matter how destructive they are. I want more women's art spaces and our threads on /ic/ can't exist without men and pedos coming out of the woodworks to try and shit it up time it starts to revive. If I can help cultivate another women's-only art space here then I double don't give a fuck if some permabeg shitheads wanna put me on the naughty list, especially when men on 4chan can openly act like women-hating pedophiles and never have to deal with any backlash for it, big accounts and all. I'd even go as far as to link my socials here if it didn't warrant a ban lol

I got into a couple of fandoms and favored a few characters. Over time, I realized their traits would be what I needed for my setting. Originally, I was going to make a fandom AU. But I decided it'd be a waste; I'd rather take the ideas for myself and keep going instead of doing some big AU project that disappears into the void that is fandom.

The thing is that these ratings are entirely personal, you can tell the difference between a good, a great or a bad piece of fiction in an objective sense but whether one enjoys it or finds resonance within it is entirely up to the person. You brought up Breaking Bad which is an objectively good show, can't argue with that. Still hated it personally though.

I found this style adorable and had been comissioned by a person who claims to "recreate an idealized childhood" through artwork.

it does makes sense, having good skills on traditional means it can easily be transferred on digital, but the reverse isn’t as accurate because digital drawings have a lot of crutches that artists rely on
No. 2519740
>>2519718>>2519735Traditional of course, but here's some reasons why. It teaches you to be intentional about each stroke and get things right the first time. You have to work with your tools in their imperfections rather than tweaking settings trying to find a shortcut (and in general it's not as easy for you to get distracted playing around with the program or switching to other stuff on the computer).
Though you can do traditional studies from a digital reference, life studies also help by training your eye to understand real things instead of copying photographs without no motion or real perspective. Since there isn't an objective digital version of the image, you have to interpret it yourself.
Also, most people's drawing tablets are pretty small, while with traditional work you can use a really big sketchbook or an easel, so it's easier to draw from the shoulder which is a very good habit. On that note, you can't zoom in on traditional work, so you'll always see the whole drawing in context, which helps you to maintain your proportions and to keep the finished piece in mind instead of getting bogged down by details.
No. 2519749
>>2519740Oh and traditional is also better for teaching you stuff like how pressure and pen angle affect your line, since you actually get physical feedback from using different tools and methods, and there's no software jank.
>>2519743Life studies are more effective. If you just use photos, your studies will not be as effective. However, you don't have to always aim for maximum efficiency all the time and trying to will just make you hate art and quit drawing. Keep these things in mind and draw traditionally from life when you can, but if a photo catches your eye and makes you want to draw it then do it and get the benefit of your passion. Sometimes you'll want to study specifically the composition of an image or someone's painterly technique and in that scenario of course you'll draw from the photo, or sometimes you'll want to draw something/someone you just won't ever see in real life and you've got to take what you can get. Also, you can improve the usefulness of digital references by using multiple photos of the same thing, or videos.

>>2519718I think this post needs to be broken down because there are some implications that smell awfully /ic/ to me that I think we should deflate immediately.
>which drawing style is better This answer can only be given based on your own preferences. Sure, most of us prefer one way or another, but art is purely a subjective field, not objective.
>studies and practicingIn my opinion, studies and practicing are two different things. Studies likely involves analyzing things like environments, still life, anatomy, composition, etc. You are learning a concept. Practicing means you are likely just analyzing the medium that you're working with, and trying to familiarize yourself with techniques.
>digital: can adjust anything, can undo strokes and flip canvas It smells like you're already walking into this with a bias, with a predisposition. Why ask if you already have it in your mind which has more benefits?
>traditional: every stroke is permanent, canvas is fixed The fuck are you smoking? Several mediums have erasable things or ways to correct mistakes. Working in ink? Sure, your strokes are more permanent. Pencil? Erasable ink?
Acrylic paint? Those are things you can correct. You have to be a bit more specific and honest with yourself if you're considering the two. Digital has multiple programs with various tools you can use to help you make pieces, but
traditional art has a nearly unlimited number of combinations and mediums. It's not just all oil paints and ink. Again, fucking pencils erase. If you think every stroke is permanent, you probably should be starting with value sketching to understand that some things may require a lighter touch instead of trying to caveman carve you way through a piece of paper.
>>2519735>is it because you’re forced to let the mistakes and errors stay? I am genuinely surprised nobody else is getting as riled up as I am with these remarks. Use an eraser!! Kneaded erasers, even!!!!
Now that I'm done seething over miner stuff kek, I think both are fine. I do gesture studies digitally when I'm at my computer, but I also carry around a sketchbook and doodle gesture drawings of passerbys.

To any nonas who are animal artists, do you have people telling you all the time you have to learn to draw humans as well?
I don't know why they even do that when I do art for a hobby on my free time and never plan to try making money or a comunity out of it, but ever since I started drawing as a kid I keep having people (both in real life and online) telling me that and it's getting tiring. It wouldn't be as annoying if they had the same energy towards artists who only draw people, but apparently only knowing how to draw humans is ok but animals are not.
I ignore them because I don't find people as fun to draw (and if I want to make myself some merch of my favorite characters, I can do chibis fine), but I don't understand why they don't accept some artists prefer to draw things like cute cats and random fictional critters.

In some posts calling her out, she quite literally cropped pieces of artwork (if I remember right, Bakugo's hair from an official artwork) and pasted it on her own drawing. She didn't even try to draw over it to cover it up, at most she blurred the edges a bit to hide the JPG-ness. In the end her fundies are actually pretty shit because she doesn't even seem to have a proper grasp on basic things such as lightning or shadows since she has been relying to much on just going with whatever the piece she's tracing has without actually thinking about why it is the way it is.
And then she has the gall to sell those artworks in cons and on her online shop (which she has deleted), and that's where the problem is.

I’m not sure if this is the appropriate thread but I can’t think of any others.
So my dad was a starving artist and he abandoned me and the family when I was very young to pursue an art career, he hasn’t made any contact since the day he left so he was a complete non-entity in my life. I recently found his information, including his art studio and gallery.
I don’t want to write him some long sobby letter begging for his attention and lamenting the loss of a life with him I never had. I wouldn’t want to make him feel important enough for that. I want to take his art and redline it, give him scathing critiques, and make him feel like shit. He dumped his family to chase his dream, just to be above-average with middling recognition and an upper middle class life. I want to make him suffer in a way I know will strike him where it actually hurts.
I know he doesn’t care about me more than his vision. I want to destroy it. I want to be the one to do it. I want him to know that I did it. I’m going to surpass him and the only legacy he will have is my passive remarks on how he’s a nobody. I want him to know he’s a washed up old man who already reached his unremarkable peak, and any recognition I get will be mine alone, if anyone asks about him or my upbringing I won’t have any positive thing to say. Not even that I admire his skills. Nothing.
Is this cringe? Should I do it? I know any attention I give him at all is attention he doesn’t deserve, but I still feel enough towards him to make me want to shit on his dream.

so yeah it doesnt make any sense.
If people loved the personality she put out on the internet, technically, they loved HER, this being the firt mistake and kind of a confusing thing in the comic because, did she do it for attention or for honesty? i think the former.
And since it goes both ways the hate also got to her,she got tired and realized it was retarded way of getting attention.
The comic has massive narcicistic vibes to me because, its either you or it isnt, you're the one drawing and posting, not some like-you entity. It's not like you're making a character loosely based on yourself if its "your way to communicate" thats personal.
Its not possible to have some alter ego/vessel/whatever and also be the same as you, idk why she needed a whole sappy comic to admit she wanted attention really bad

Not to mention that the crowd you need to latch yourself too will turn you pretentios and 3deep5you. I've seen it in professors and students. If your "dad" had the stupidity in him to leave for his art career I doubt he's any different. If he trully loved art, he could've done it while in your life.
If it helps, I have an art firend who has the same story as you more or less. Men have the potential to do soo much good but choose to be the scum of the earth most of the time.
Anyway, my point is. If you pursue art for the sake of revenge you'll end up hating it, and that would be work for nothing. Do it becaue you want to make pretty pictures or pretty pictures with meaning and don't let the hunger for fame/money cloud your vision if you still have the competitive drive to outmatch him.

>>2521976It is quite hard but I promise the workout will be worth the effort. If you're having trouble rotating the shapes or figures, you can try posing a 3D model like the reference, doing the exercise, and then checking your work with the 3D model. (note that depending on the field of view the model may warp slightly differently, so just look for general similarity not absolute perfection). If you do go that route always try and figure it out yourself first! Noticing where you went wrong and noting the corrections is the most effective way to lock in what you've learned.
Another exercise you can try - draw a box to contain your figure, and then split the box into different planes (drawing diagonals through the corners will find the center point). Try and figure out where the planes would intersect on the figure.
>>2521990You 100% need mileage on drawings. A few tips that helped me:
>1 point - the object is facing you and you are looking straight ahead. 2 point - the object has rotated and you are looking straight ahead. 3 point - the object has rotated and you have looked up/down.>If you can see the top of something, it is beneath the horizon line. If you can see the bottom of it, it is above the horizon line.>Unless in a fisheye(heavily distorted/unnatural) lens, you won't see more than 1 vanishing point on the page at a time*. You pretty much always have to roughly guess the general direction of the other two.*for objects facing the same direction - more on this later
>Try drawing rooms that you are actually in. >Try drawing a horizon line and box to contain whatever you're drawing. This alone will be surprisingly helpful in reminding you where your subject sits in 3D space and what parts of it you should/should not be able to see.More advanced stuff: Traditionally when you learn perspective, you draw a bunch of boxes that are all facing the same direction, but in reality, many objects are facing random directions. Each object that is facing a different direction will have its own vanishing points - but they will all share the same horizon line. When an object is perfectly facing you, it is flat. When it rotates to the left or right, the vanishing points also move to the left or right (in the opposite direction). Likewise, when it rotates up or down (not to be confused with moving/sliding up or down!), the vanishing points also move up and down (again, in the opposite direction) - yes, they go off the horizon line! It can be very confusing when you're using a photo to study and don't know this can happen.

It’s been a while since I used toyhouse so I don’t know if there’s an option to upload characters privately, or make your entire profile private, if there is, i recommend enabling those features so no one can bother you for whatever reason.
When I uploaded some OCs for the first time, I got some notifications from randos. Maybe my OCs showed up in some “newest characters” section and that’s how people found me, since I didn’t really share my user anywhere.
But anyway, if you somehow get added to these type of lists, what are they gonna do? I skimmed some of the thread and they’re just adding people without harassing them, sure it’s catty behavior in how they gossip about users in the thread but that’s the most they’ll do kek, most toyhouse users don’t know about that thread anyway.
Do you care because you want to be an active member in the toyhouse forums nona? If not, I really don’t see a reason to care. Finding art communities online that aren’t super sjw is kind of impossible so you’ll have to stick with anonymous boards like lc and 4chan, or find terfy groups yourself which is uncommon

>>2522175I downloaded a lot of artbooks commonly used in artschools and went through them one by one. I would take notes and create cheat sheets to use later. If they didn't have exercises, I would pretend I was a teacher and make up assignments myself. The list in OP is a good one. I would alternate the subject depending on my mood, although I've heard it's more effective to stick with one subject for a longer period of time.
The most valuable exercises for me involve the following steps:
>attempt to do something on my own>study>identify how my study is different/incorrect>try againFor example:
>try to draw a turtle>gather images of turtles and copy them>analyze how my copies are different from the photos and correct them>try to draw a turtleYou can apply this approach to anything.
Exercises I found valuable (I focus on the figure and costume design so please note that this advice is very limited in scope):
>daily timed figure sketches, with time allotment increasing. for example: start with 1-2 mins for 10 figures, then 3-5 min for 5 figures, and finally 10 min for 1 figure>drawing the outside/contour shape only - good skill for quickly checking measurements and defining the space a figure should fit inside>tracing anatomy onto nude photos>breaking figures down into simple geometric shapes and trying to reconstruct them at different angles>posing 3d models like reference photos and drawing them from a variety of angles>drawing + rotating lots of boxes in perspective>photo studies. humans, hands/feet, shoes, clothes, folds, hair, materials, accessories, etc. don't just copy but break the objects down into simple forms. trace the contours and plot the perspective. try and understand what you're drawing.>find an artist you love and try your very best to create a new image perfectly mimicking their style. You will fail, but try your best anyway. Compare your work with theirs and figure out what you're missing (hint: it's usually not coloring technique or magic brushes, but something more basic like form or composition). Study that subject and try again later. (Naoki Saito credit for this technique)Special Mention:
>Scott Robertson's How to Draw bookIt may take several attempts over time for the concepts to click, it's okay to not fully get it at first. Try your best and keep coming back to it. All the technique in the world will not hide bad form, and the ugliest chickenscratchiest lines atop good form will still look 'right'. Check Feng Zhu/FZD school's youtube channel, mfer is the messiest draftsman but you can't deny he's good. He also explains his entire school's curriculum on that channel so you can just do it yourself if you really want to. If Scott is too hard, Artwod's program seems similar in approach, and his format may be easier to understand. Draw a Box as well, but it may exhaust/demotivate you.

skinwalks suffer the same treatment, being shown as giant pale things. neither of these pieces of folklore have ANY animal traits in their original descriptions. wendigos look like emaciated human corpses. skinwalkers in their normal forms also look like humans but they wear an skin of an animal, usually a coyote. they are also clad in traditional garments and have been described as dressing like "witch doctors". when the skinwalker transforms it usually takes the form of a dog, coyote or a wolf. some have been seen as humans with dog heads. the overuse and watering down of these things is so boring and borderline offensive.

oh and since we're on the topic of mythical creatures i'd like to propose possibly my favorite of them all, the pishtaco. they remind me a lot of the wendigo and skinwalker myths, which to me represent cultural fears and warning more than actual living things, and the pishtaco dials that up to a thousand. they come from the andes of south america and are described as white men in black outfits with wings who use electric weapons to paralyze the native people to steal their organs and extract their fat. the pishtaco doesn't attack in the daytime or when lights are around, only in the dark. this to me seems to represent a fear of colonialism and the taking of the literal essence of native cultures by white people. it's a really fascinating myth. you can see children's drawings of them because their parents warn them about it, and it's both sad and really interesting. sorry for offtopic but i love talking about how supernatural things relate to cultural fears. plus they're way scarier to me than a wendigo or skinwalker

>>2523888sure, the wendigo and skinwalker lore is mostly just what i described, but there's a lot of fucking bullshit that's been woven into both of those myths by people over the years who don't understand the culture. algonquian native tribes are the ones where the wendigo myth originated from, and i believe it was mostly a warning from mothers to children about running off into the wilderness and playing. if they got lost, they might become a wendigo. it was also assumed that cannibalism = becoming a wendigo so that was a cultural fear meant to encourage people to cooperate and not become greedy. you can see the effects of this myth throughout history. this is just a theory of mine, but when you hear stories about like, the donner party you hear that once the white people were starving and resorting to cannibalism, some miwak guys who were helping them were appalled and refused to do that even though they too were starving. they went off into the wilderness to forage (and were later killed by the donner party members, way to fucking go). the wendigo is not really considered a living threat anymore. talking about them doesn't beckon them to you.
skinwalkers are a navajo myth but have spread around a bit too, and i believe they're a warning against practicing black magic or "evil" spirituality of any kind. skinwalkers are people who devoted themselves to evil, kind of like the christians view satanists and their dark occult powers. unlike wendigos, many native americans do believe that talking about skinwalkers can beckon them to you, as you are talking about evil forces. kind of like some christians think you can open yourself up to possession by thinking too much about demons.
the pishtaco is entirely focused on andean areas, especially peru. i haven't ever seen american media take them on, aside from supernatural which seemed to just depict them in name only because the creatures they made were not at all like the folklore describes. i think the pishtaco can be likened to american "men in black" figures. mysterious, intimdating men who can appear and do terrible things to you. unlike the wendigo and the skinwalker, the people of peru very deeply believe in the pishtaco to the point that raider parties will be sent out periodically to try and find them and kill them. children are warned not to go out at night, and if they have to, to stay in the light. i personally have no doubt that this myth comes from their lands being invaded by white colonists. also, them extracting organs = black market sales, and extracting fat = removing nutrition, which is of course highly important in a society with no access to supermarkets and other outside forces to get easy food.

Sure it looks good but I don’t get how this brush is blowing even artists’ minds to this extent? At least it’s cheap but it just looks like a soft round brush with lowered opacity.

>>2524968Look at prompts lists and use random generators.
Try stuff that seems like it's beyond your skill level.
Expose yourself to lots of different media and subjects, especially ones not directly related to what you want to draw and that aren't your usual interests. Figure out how to apply them to what you want to do, or make them appealing to you. Or even without acting on them directly, just marinating in different stuff than usual should help to break you out of a rut.
Steal a really good idea and decide how you would make it even better, or how you would make something totally unrecognizable that still encapsulates what you like about the original.
Challenge yourself with limits and rules, like making a whole group of characters who must be distinct while all wearing red dresses.
Pick two or more objects or concepts that you think don't go together and make it work. Making gijinkas usually counts, since you're combining whatever + human.
Make a mirrored opposite or variation of an object or concept, along whatever imaginary axis you like. Maybe a goldfish could turn into a silver whale or a cash bird.
If something gives you a really obvious and basic idea, discard it and force yourself to come up with a new way to apply it. E.g. instead of seeing a cool hairstyle and drawing a character with that hair, figure out how to draw that hair style as an outfit or character in and of itself.
Write down your ideas in one place, and revisit them later. Maybe you'll think of new angles on them, or seeing them in context together will spark something new.
Remember that even if you "fail" one of these challenges, you're still developing your creativity by trying, so don't be upset.

Plenty of artists do what you're suggesting, probably more than those that don't. But I also have heard so much from younger gen artists who don't want to "bother" with paper, pencils are too messy, I don't want to erase, I don't know where to find them (I'm dead as a doornail serious. I was shocked) etc, etc, etc. Anything not to reach for something other than the thing as close as possible and try something new. I've seen people remark that traditional is boring…. I see a lot of people (not that many in the grand scheme of things) reaching for digital more out of convenience. Supplies can be expensive, but they also absolutely do not have to be, so even that imo isn't an excuse. There's nothing wrong with digital, I'm a tradart Nona and am old enough to remember when people on DA would call digital art "not real art". I don't feel that way and do it myself and want to get better. But people definately have a very strange and limited view of just picking up a pencil.

I was shocked) nta That is absolutely horrible. I usually mimic the tools I've personally used irl in a more controlled setting (erasing watercolor is a dream…!), but this new generation seems powered purely by instant gratification. I'm wondering now if this all goes deeper than we initially thought, that there is some sort of mass brain rot being affected by digital media being accessible at young ages.
My cousin is around 2 and was given an iPad to do some coloring with his finger. I felt this was so odd, since crayons and coloring books are available and rather cheap. Perhaps these artists are a result of parenting like that.

>>2524968Other anons have given you better advice and I struggle with it heavily myself so I can't give you much. I really like art with visual storytelling and visual motifs but I can't do it very well most of the time. Even art like this
>>2525207 is impressive to me, which is stupid because in my head this registers to me as an easy and simple cupid image, but I would've likely never thought about it until now. The best thing you and me can do is get some mileage with drawing cool ideas rather than waiting for that really cool amazing idea to magically materialize and blow everything out of the water. Maybe creativity really is a muscle.

>corny animation about child sexual abuse
>look into profile
>it’s a tif
Every single time. These fujos who are obsessed with boys/men can’t really hide the fact that they probably get off to fantasies of boys getting molested under the guide of muh morals. The amount of times I’ve seen tifs have prettyboi ocs who have a ~tragic~ backstory of them being abused by an older man is crazy kek, it’s so obvious that it’s their fetish

>>2526108It was seen before but it was OK. It got really, really heavy handed at the end.
I agree that unfortunately this kind of thing is a common trope that's not good to see.
