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.

>>2529707>her art is amazing, yet Devil's candy is barely popular and is hanging on a thread, probably hasnt been finished/cancelled yet because its the passion project of the authorDamn kek, I don’t think Devil’s Candy is that unpopular. The first book’s kickstarter got 2072 backers at least and iirc it got a deal with Viz and was being sold in bookstores in other countries too. The fans are just more lowkey and it doesn’t seem to inspire as much memes and autism as stuff like homestuck or ava’s demon(too bad it took a huge hit in popularity with all the drama and hiatuses).
I agree with your point though. As someone who used to read Devil’s Candy, I would say it’s decent, but not particularly novel or interesting to me. It’s what I’d expect from a story about monsters made by anime fans.
I disliked how it fell into some shonen tropes for the female characters, like big titty waifu heroine, a few unnecessary fanservice moments, etc.
There’s also the shy girl who has an unrequited crush on her friend, the male lead. She’s thin and dainty uwu but is super strong while the males of her same species get to look big and buff, which made her focus chapter kind of eye-rolly because she gets “discriminated” against by other monsters for being a cyclops in a field where she doesn’t belong(fashion), except she just looks like your average cute anime girl but with a cyclops eye kek.
And even the flat-chested nerdy tomboyish girl spent a significant chunk of her focus chapters wearing fake boobs and dressed like a big titty witch.

>>2529946Not sure, but the hype is so dead kek. Kind of deserved for the quality of writing(and the character design for newer characters is terrible), but still kind of sad. I remember when the website had its own forum where I’d chat with other fans, and there were so many tumblr fanblogs, fanart, and fan ocs. But there was so much drama between fans as well as people calling Michelle fatphobic/acephobic/racist/enbyphobic/pedophilic/etcetera, as well as the website dealing with DDOS attacks. Even one of Michelle’s friends(Maya Kern, creator of Monster Pop) cut ties with her over something people were calling Michelle out for(can’t remember exactly, may be a sexualization of minors thing or a proshipper thing)
The blessing of a miniscule/nonexistent fandom is not dealing with all that.

>>2529922dvc's an interesting case. most og fans cite tokyopop as their intro to it but there's been a new wave of interest attracted from tsulala's work on river city girls. it got a pop up store in akihabara so there's a push to get it recognised in japan, but i've yet to see a single non-western fan.
DVC starts as a basic monster of the week but keep reading and an overarching plot forms, one that's actually pretty compelling. the themes criticise body modifications and surgery as weaker devils attach stronger frankenstein'd parts to themselves to social climb at the cost of their freedom. the criminal gang overseeing this business are the villains. accidental gender crit, let's go.

>>2530062recognisable characters. the biggest fandoms like HP have infinite self-insert potential with the setting.
fanworks at its core fill in gaps, the most well regarded art makes you want to leave it as is, fiction has to be some level of junkfood to get a fandom, because the worst parts activate our desire to 'fix.'
stories that are either overly fluffy or dark invite fandoms exploring the opposite. i.e gravity falls is a light-hearted kids show giving small hints at intrigue and danger beneath the surface so the fandom was largely AU's. something like attack on titan inspires memes to cope with the deaths, plus lots of fanfiction where everything is fine.
finally, having a story with lots of alternate paths and signposted 'what ifs' invite fans to write ff exploring what might have happened if a character did something different. or timetravel fix its.

I've made a universe complete with politics pertaining to that specific universe that, nowadays, can be equated to the troon happening, except fictional monsters. Rather than coom, they have rape habits due to things I wouldn't be autistic enough to explain about here, and I can see how this would spiral into "my character is X but with exceptions and uniqueness! Like being trans". Bonus points because it started as a deviantart group where I encouraged others to make their own stories within this universe.
I am sensitive as fuck with the concept of people utilizing my own creations for their fetish. I don't know how popular artists can have an IP that suffers such a fate.

>>2530381How do you "see someone as a girl" if anyone can be girl/woman as long as they identify as one? How can someone even look like a girl physically then or be thought of as a girl if you drink the gender Koolaid? Are you supposed to assume someone is a girl then if they wear a skirt or makeup instead by sex? I thought clothes don't have gender and that would be sexist stereotyping.
I know the gender person response would be that clothes themselves don't determine gender identity and there are "gender non-conforming" troons and you ask pronouns, but you also should try to determine if a troon is "obviously" trying to be stealth and not out someone by asking pronouns or if they're trans. This ideology is so retarded.

>>2529935> I feel like it deserves so much more popularity than what it has, considering the quality of the art and the entry level story telling.It’s because it’s not that interesting to be frank, and tsulala has no idea how to promote. She’s a boomer who hasn’t kept up with the times so she probably doesn’t know the most effective ways of promoting her comic. Also look at her Twitter, these days it’s just 90% her posting update posts of her comic which make her page look so ugly and boring, she barely posts normal art now. I’ve kept track of her followers and she’s always losing them at a steady rate. And there’s nothing memey or “hot” about devil’s candy for zoomers, which is why it can’t really get a hold of the largest group of comic/webcomic/manga consumers.
I’ve seen newer webcomics made from younger people, even zoomers, get much more hype on social media more than devils candy ever did which leads back to tsulala operating at an outdated fashion. I consider her and devils candy to be part of the old internet somewhat, she used to post on deviantart like everyone else for example which is a good indicator, and that’s part of why she’s often out of touch.
Also she drew these dungeon meshi fanart a while ago and it got a trillion likes and followers, but at this point she’s probably back from where she started because she did nothing with that momentum and her posts about original drawing flop kek

> Her break was in Tokyopop's first Rising Stars of Manga competition in 2003 as the Grand Prize winner for her work Devil's Candy. She then went on to do 2D character and environment designs on a video game called Fate of Ages by a now defunct company in England called Onisoft. In 2006 she became the artist for a collaborative project between Tokyopop and HarperCollins. The project was a manga adaptation of a series of novels written by Ellen Schreiber called Vampire Kisses. I do wonder what her main source of income is though

She always works with a writer so it’s more a case of people reaching out to hire her as an artist(picrel is more like an adaptation of a novel), but Devil’s Candy seems to be something she and her husband created together from the start, so it’s understandable she focuses more on that. I wouldn’t call it average shounenslop though kek, it’s still by and far more tolerable to read then that.

Pretty jealous about the successful Kickstarer ngl, the webcomic wasn't bad but it wasn't really fantastic either. I see the success as an example of having a small but dedicated fandom. Something a lot of other indie comic creators could follow from.

I concur with your points, but the fact she isn't good handling social media as it is nowadays still stands and that's not a slight against her in any way. Because that's a different skill set, if someone was great at baking but shit at making cake sculptures that doesn't mean the baking is awful but it's also still a skill gap. And if that's something they're not interested in doing, that's fine.

There’s even this retarded comic going around Twitter where it’s the usual ugly bastard trope guy with the ability to stop time, and he plans on stopping time on a woman in the street drawn in a very sexual and rape-y way but the “punchline” is that he actually stops time to drag her out of the street so she doesn’t get hit by a car. And it had like 200k likes, moid “humor” is literally just rape. The retards trying to defend it by saying it’s a “wholesome” comic can’t be real man, it’s so obvious that the moid who drew it is a porn addicted subhuman

>>2532374This is the artwork I was speaking of. The actual quality of the art itself isn't an issue (even if I've seen much better), but the edgelord themes really get to me. This character in particular drives home the point. "Lady Oda the Pious", a theocracy/crusader avatar hidden behind a grimdark story. She has this tacked-on backstory about her dead husband (who was likely also a horrible person) that she cheated on. You can immediately discard it because it never comes into play.
Much of the art depicting her is borderline to straight-up sadism porn. Tell me you can't imagine this character in some sort of BDSM caption. There's no point to any of it. No commentary. It's gratuity for the sake of gratuity. It also doesnt help that the artist has a counterpart of this same character. "Crusader-chan". She's literally just coombait. Although the artist (for the most part) draws the women in a more realistic fashion, he doesnt hide at all that this is waifushit. An actual female artist I would give the benefit of a doubt, but this is a grimdark-obsessed moid.
He's made a whole screedpost about how he's being "unfairly criticized" for "glorifying the crusades", intentionally playing dumb. He can't own up to the fact that this character is either coombait or he's just really fucking bad at writing "complex" characters.
Sorry for the long-ass post but I really needed to vent about this fucking edgelord and his inability to take the slightest modicum of criticism.

What are your pet peeves when it comes to character designs? My #1 pet peeve is this shit. I know it's not factually true but istg it feels like 1 out of five female OCs I see on Pinterest has got this stupid whaletail thong trope amd it's getting so damn old and boring. It doesn't fit the character's personality a lot of the time either. I wish artists would portray eroticism in a more sensual way rather than just slapping on coomerisms onto their characters.

The setup is very slow but it makes opening tumblr rewarding! Definitely also download addons onto your browser for tumblr that filters things to your liking, change its color, etc.
In a sense, I would personally become a hermit for a while. And if you still want to get some clout for your art, post to social media via PostyBirb.

>>2534480NTA you should be doing both study and art you're passionate about at the same time, the best way to improve and remain motivated is to draw and study things you are interested in. If you're interested in medicine or animals or fashion or plants or history etc. use those things to jumpstart your studies. If you're stuck on how to do that, maybe you could tell me what your non-art interests are and I and other anons could tell you what excercises you could do with them.

>>2534480Ayrt, the other nona who replied is right. Spending hours on lc does make you retarded. It made me really retarded so I took a year long break. I can feel it making me retarded again, so I’m probably gonna take another one.
It’s hard to say where studies end and passion begins, because you can draw something you’re passionate about and use it to practice something you’re not good at. For example, I’m retarded when it comes to values, so I’m working on greyscale paintings to block out shapes and contours better. But for fun, I do abstract watercolors just to see how the colors interact. I also genuinely enjoy figure drawing so that’s both study and passion. However, I’m bad at clothes, so my next plan is to find a bunch of fashion magazines or blogs and study from those. I want to use the skills I get from studies to create a piece that features something I’m passionate about. Drawabox has a good plan, the 50/50 plan where for every amount of time you spend studying/practicing fundies, you spend an equal amount of time drawing without worrying about the outcome. Drawing just to draw. It’s very helpful even though it can be humbling and embarrassing at first if your skills aren’t where you want.
If you feel like you don’t have anything you’re interested in drawing just because you’re passionate about it, you probably need to work on finding hobbies outside of drawing and scrolling on a gossip site. I’m speaking from experience. I found some games I enjoyed and I’ve started reading books again, and I’ve felt inspired to draw taking elements from those things or wanting to catch up to the people who made them or draw scenes from them. It took me a long time to reclaim those hobbies, because again, I made myself retarded through scrolling. First scrolling through tumblr and twitter for years, then through here. I had to keep throwing myself at the hobby and get through the discomfort of not having constant social media stimuli and actually focusing on something. It takes work and confronting that you’re not as good as you want at something, as well as forcing yourself to be a little bored sometimes for payoff of developing a skill.

No. 2534559
>>2534489>>2534503These two are right. I did the same thing. Started practicing the fundaments that I wanted to get better at first (people, faces & perspective). By following tutorials and studying those references. Did that for a few months and you’re combing your own interests with learning so you make huge leaps in skill with what feels like little effort. I’ve kept doing that for around 6-ish months now and I went from barely drawing once a year and losing hope, to drawing 5+ pages in a sketchbook a day just because I like how it looks and I improve a little each day from each new study. I draw the things I like and mix in studies. Right now Im learning to draw sea life, water and underwater scenes because of all the mermaid stuff I’ve seen for mermay. Combing those with my ability to draw women from past studies means I can draw a fairly good mermaid now.
I’m better able to concentrate too because I’ve spent less time online except for tutorials, and more time using my brain instead of letting it rot online. I can concentrate again and even read.
Don’t get overwhelmed by the looming idea of what you really want to draw, just draw what you want in the moment and study it. Those skills will compound together over time. Creativity and learning to use your imagination again is a skill often neglected by too much doom scrolling. Unironically your parents wer right, too much time online does rot your brain kek.
I’m going to take another online break and focus on art and analog media (books, comics, art books, even magazines) because I can feel my brain getting lazy and retarded agAin. But I hope mine and the other nonnies advice helps anyone struggling to start. Your art will look ugly at first, but it’ll get better as long as you practice.

This is a tif right? I searched their profile for mentions of trans on Twitter but nothing came up. Or maybe furries just work differently and this is actually a gay guy. They have an artfight profile, toyhouse, all that common stuff for the online artist, and uses emotes like ;3 in their replies. Is the 5’10 height a lie? I know that women can still be that height even if uncommon. Here are their socials, help me figure it out nonas

Speaking of figuring out the genders of artists you’re not sure of, here’s a somewhat harder one. I’m kind of cloudy about this one. My instincts tell me it’s a male because the interests/rts on both accounts are pretty moid-centered, lots of coomy art and moid centered series like blue archive, even drew fanart for it. Plus his/their artstyle is pretty moidy. They have a side account where they post porn of their clearly lolibait character Hannah plus another loli character who isn’t drawn as often. Also has a newgrounds account which I’ve pretty much never seen women make.
But what throws me off is the they/them pronouns on the side account. Also they made a shota oc recently because “i need to make cute boy character”
https://x.com/kt_x_87/status/1899919517108646356Said boy oc, who just looks like a typical femboy
https://x.com/kt_x_87/status/1923542752853127276Other info: tweeted about having a problem with drinking and woke up to vomit, reaching a new level of “self hatred”.
Is this a weird pickme female, or just another porn addicted moid who happens to like both loli and some shota?

On the pedo angle, it's not rare for them to be both into male and female children/loli and shota so wanting to draw "a cute male character" (a shota) is not really that damning that it's a woman. They/them could be because it's a "femboy", male thembies exist.

I think the rule of thumb to find out when an artist is male or female is
>draws loli/coom shitif
>no pronouns in biomale
>pronouns in biowoman(they/he)
>is into cookie run, south park, homestuckwoman
>into aesthetic stuff like y2k fashion, street fashion, lolita, etcwoman
this artist
>>2535658 is into coookie run, absolutely no man is into that shit its like the most female dominated fandom nowadays.

A famous game called honkai star rail hired a va who was a known racist and I don’t know if anything ever happened to him, he probably still voices him.
It seems like he’s not that well known so possible backlash wouldn’t be too high probably. You’ve got dorontabi working on blue archive just fine, but perhaps it’d be different in western industries. That kokochou pickme is still working in the industry isn’t she? In laika studios or something? But no one has made a public callout on her afaik, I’ve only seen it here on lolcow and kiwifarms.

Sometimes memories of the fact that a massive lolicon had a huge impact on my life really fucks with me. Like, Tsukushi Akihito is openly a borderline pedo (or is one if you consider lolishotacon to be basic proof of being one) NOW but back when I was really impressionable, I got ahold of his games (Elebits, Dewy's Adventure) and the unique usage of rainbows really stuck with me. And then he had a personal website in a language I couldn't read (predating Google translate) with search-and-finds? I used to tune out of computer class and just look at his stunning artworks to see if I could find all of the objects. I even learned to do some of the things he does with his art. Sure, it looks like run-of-the-mill moeslop to most, but by Elebits 2 I was hooked.
And now that we can translate his interviews, and read his funky shit he injects into Made in Abyss, I'm torn so hard. I should just cut off enjoying anything he makes, but I cherish the characters of MiA so much I feel like it's a duty to myself to see where he takes the story, even if it means exposing myself to his shit. It's a miserable existence.
In regards to the artist mentioned previously, I really feel sorry for people directly connected to artists like this, that uproot their lives for the coom. At least in the case of Tsukushi, he was just a perv all along with me being ignorant. I'll bet it hits twice as hard watching someone else's decline.

>>2537799>Btw, what made you think you're asexual?I said "borderline" because I know I'm not actually asexual, but I'm just on the far lower end of libido with little to no interest in sex or sexual content. It doesn't really bother me, it just means I can't really relate to sexual content the same way most people can. So I see the coomer art girls and think they're cute, but the sexual nature isn't part of it at all. A lot of things I happen to like aesthetically are linked with coom/being sexual (like bikinis, short skirts, and I usually like "loli" girls designs because kids are cute to me and remind me of the manga I'd read as a kid) so I can't really escape it. Sometimes I think there would be nothing to be ashamed of if men didn't exist to sexualize everything, but then again like I mentioned when I see other girls into the coomer art they're in for the coom too so I guess that's just wishful thinking.

sus she didn’t address the trans headcanons specifically despite the fact she headcanons the primary characters she draws as tifs and openly speaks about being trans. maybe it was the fact she was one of the few who doesn’t put her pronouns in her bio or smth

Nowadays i dont like him anymore, especially since he ditched his older style for a generic coomer style with super saturated colors and shiny/rubbery rendering style, but i cant deny how much his art and designs inspired me.

I found a lineart brush I really like and the new watercolor brush is wonderful, so I'm ok, but in general it feels art spaces are too individualistic now. I miss when we were 15 and it was more open/comunity-oriented because most people just drew for fun instead of for money.

This artist is a big genshin artist with 77k followers. Look at the state of her engagement when she posts non-genshin art…this was one of the biggest reasons why I stopped drawing fanart in general, especially for genshin. Their fans will literally not care about anything else you post. I know this other artist who gets tens of thousands of likes on her genshin art but when she posts other art, she would barely get like 100 likes, it’s so embarrassing and unbelievable.

That is a terrible ratio, the views just make things worse since it shows how many people saw it and kept scrolling.
I know of plenty of artists with less followers but get much more engagement and overall comments. There’s just something so apathetic about genshin fans specifically, it’s like they’re too retarded to appreciate other artwork that isn’t their animu gachaslop. That’s why I feel for artists who invested in genshin. It used to be the hottest thing years back and everyone and their mother was consuming it, so a lot of people probably drew for it hoping to catch onto the wave

Just your current attitude is enough, if you want to draw hot men go for it, you will probably improve your anatomy. The only "trap" to be aware of is that it's very easy to accidentally go back to "character facing left on a white void" artworks when it comes to pin-ups/NSFW, so keep an eye on that and just try to incorporate the characters on an actual envoriment/scenary from time to time.

Fanart has a huge emotional aspect for people, would you retweet a selfie of a stranger? Kind of like that. If you don't recognize the character, most followers will just scroll after looking at it for a bit.

No. 2545522
>>2544384Speaking from a design perspective I think people like them because they're a bit ugly. A lot of similar trends (toys, animals, random thing) that make it big with normies are ugly-cute rather than just straight up cute. It's the same with those super popular "Sonny Angels" toys, the little naked baby with his dick out just wearing different hats. If he was wearing clothes he'd be less popular because him being naked and thus a bit ugly/gross is what gets the attention. These trends naturally die off quickly (compared to something actually cute like hello kitty who has been around since the 70s) because in the end they don't truly love the designs and are kinda in it for the "shock value" that comes from it being ugly. And then that "shock" wears of when you've gotten used to it, and since it's not actually that cute they don't like it anymore.
You can usually tell they don't truly love the design because whenever you see a big collection you notice the lack of other items - this is a replacement for their last consoom collection, and once they get tied of this one they'll jump on the next trend and replace this one too.

>>2544692>why are female artist who draw tasteful oc male pinups so rare?It's because you're looking in the wrong locations. Probably places like Pixiv would interest you since it is crawling with original content when you find the right tag(s) to go through.
>nonnies i’ve been feeling depressed lately, thinking about what the point is in dedicating my life to working on creating and improving art if it’s all going to be forgotten forever eventually.That's why first and foremost you have to draw for yourself. Even people like the weirdass Astro Boy artist get forgotten, even after becoming quite successful. Renaissance artists are remembered through sheer force of their fans and education. I think to shed this mentality is to free yourself.
Hopefully I don't sound super haughty, but I always imagine that my enjoyment of art comes from being posed a challenge and overcoming said challenge. I can look back to 2016 on how I used to draw wings to now, and see how my studying and persistence of making shit pretty ended up working. The journey is appealing, not tbe destination, y'know? And the older we get, the faster time seems to pass. 2016 feels like maybe 4 years ago to me? But it's
nearly a decade. Just casually chipping away at something that's difficult pays off eventually.

Is anyone kind of hesitant to share their art for fear of being "tainted" by degenerates?
I've concocted a variety of young female OCs from elementary age to high school age, mostly out of nostalgia, and well I genuinely like cute things. Kamome Shirahama's art (picrel) is the kind of vibe I want to put with these female OCs.
But I'm really afraid if I were to "share" them to world lolifaggots might find them and ruin them. They're not above using real children as reference anyway. It just makes me remember this cancer patient girl who was a My Little Pony fan and Hasbro made her pony OC like an official thing and bronies just drew porn of it. Moe, bronies, magical girls… they ruin everything with their degenerate behavior.
I can't control what other people do with their time and nonnas will say just draw what you want, but it just sucks seeing something you've worked being potentially defiled for the coom.

i’ve also seen pickme women liking those arts too, the ones who probably love self inserting as young girl characters.
i think all this pedomoid attention has been stemming from my popular mutual sharing my art and he has a japanese following, no offense but the japanese side always brings out many pedos. so to avoid your art getting negative attention just start blocking anyone who shares it (like some big coomer account) that could bring negative attention and block anyone who follows you that is obviously a lolifag, you just need to nip the bud before it grows etc

>>2545401NTA, but I'm doing a year long study of nailing my 'hot men' style down. One thing that might help is to approach backgrounds as storytelling platform. Storytelling requires bringing in everything you know (anatomy, perspective, style, rhythm and flow, etc.) and pushing the limit just a bit to get the point across.
It is generally recommended you try to develop the background alongside the characters. Don't worry too much about it being distracting; it needs to be to a certain degree so that the viewer can step into the world and come across that character. This creates engagement and attachment to that character. It also keeps it from feeling too flat because you're working more spatially. As far as muddy goes, I'm assuming you mean color? Look into hue shifting, it goes a long way.
Look at a lot of erotic art pieces through history: many of them had nice backgrounds to the point of making it feel more decorative. There's also a sense of 'reward' when a viewer comes across a detailed picture and finds something sexy among it all. Emulate and study.

ironically, seeing brown washing/ugly woke art being shoe horned a lot in tumblrfied art for diversity points radicalized me into drawing more brown characters but with actually appealing features. I love the various shapes and colours humans can look like and its a shame brown people are thrown under the bus in artwork for quick woke points when its so easy to make them look… normal? its like a big psyop trying to portray brown people as nothing except a fat deathfat vitiligo trannies; why are they so adamant that a brown person cant look anything else and feeling offended by the portrayal is "discriminatory to POC with those features!!"

>>2546281In general it's common to cover one eye because it looks cool or because it's hard to draw symmetrical eyes. I think people are probably extending this to afros without thinking too much about it, especially if they don't have any practical experience with afros or any coarse curly hair. You might be noticing the eye thing disproportionately often with afros because it sticks out to you as strange.

Either way idgi it all depends on knowing where you place the lines and for what and not understanding other aspects isnt going to be magically solved by changing one line, its only a problem because most internet artists only follow tutorials without understanding what they mean

It's not the only way to measure proportions nor do construction. Do you think Renaissance painters cracked open their copy of Drawing Heads or maybe they sketched differently. Food for thought.
>even Japanese artists blah blahEven Chuvash people also measure proportions when they draw, how curious. This is not even a point because they're as good as art as everyone else in the world, they just have more time for art in school and have stronger art industries, that is literally the only difference. Go on any Jap art website and you'll see the feeds are full of 80% beginner to average level art.

I also hate how criticizing them gets you called a little kid, sensitive, a puritan christian etc. Many of them admit that they draw porn cause it makes them money (like picrel) and I'm supposed to see it as the pinnacle of art and expression? Them also bragging about how good their art is and how in order to be a good artist you have to be a coomer and a pervert (their words not mine) is fucking hilarious considering how shitty their art actually usually is. I'm not really against erotic art inherently because art is often a way to express one's feelings and being horny is also like any other feeling. In fact that's exactly why I want these artists to be held up to higher standards. I wish people criticized porn artists as much as they do any other artist since it feels like they get away with way more than most people do, but porn artists tend to be sensitive little babies ironically and cry and send their army of wks at any criticism even if they're drawing racist sexist loli porn based on actual crimes or some shit.

Some artists are just weirdly puritanical towards efficiency tools too.
>>2549110>Should I draw what turns me on or should I draw what turns other women on?Both, it's good for you as an artist to both make things that you enjoy for their own sake as well as to try to appeal to others. Play around and see what sticks, you own tastes might not turn out to be as niche as you might think.

Dunno what qualifies as an inventive artist in this day or age but I can tell you that technically great artists with trash taste is just the norm. I certainly feel nothing when looking at their garbage fetishes. Like I said in a previous post, I used ModeSeven's abundant tutorials as well as Inkune1's and they have…
interesting galleries. Gotta learn from somewhere.

I remember an anon who complained about comission prices of this and several anons shot her down, which was a surprising shift compared what was posted in the earlier threads. I do wish this thread would be lot more tolerant of posting actual salt instead of being angry reddit mods nitpicking to death. Even though I found the brujo anons annoying they kind of were the anons who held the original spirit of this thread. Just salty anons talking about an artist they dislike.
No. 2549487
>>2549458probably because a lot of the content got siloed off into it's own threads which means what remains is more bitter and pessimistic
>>2549480Brujo kind of needed her own thread, anons kept cycling the drain discussing the same thing thread after thread because most people don't go back to read threads they missed. To me she does seem pretty boring both in terms of output and personal presence but enough people seem to want to legitimately discuss what she makes as if they enjoy it under the guise of it being milk.

My life drawing class? Our teacher spent about <10 mins showing us Loomis (with most of those minutes dedicated to practicing it, and then <20 to show us two other techniques we could try. They were starting points to mix and match and evolve from. And I'm likely exaggerating the time; we still spent more of those seconds applying it so we could feel it and walking around looking at everyone's route, no critique. Half an hour in a 3 month-long class.
There was no arguing about whether or not you should do it like we see these crabs doing. No arguing about how you got to the destination. These no-draw/crabs probably spend years doing draw-a-box in between yelling about how people should do things so they themselves don't feel intimidated.

For her age at the time, this drawing is very impressive, I think she was a child prodigy even. It depends if her artwork was mostly original and not just exact copies or references from some other anime drawing she used when drawing, because those poses and forms are really good for her age.
Her old art in general was actually so inspiring, an anime style that actually moves me and it was filled with this special kind of passion and creativity. That was why I followed her in the first place

I guess her making karo, her famous tif oc and probably the thing she was most known for, a biological woman, was the tipping point for these tifs kek.
I think the real regression started when she turned of age and began pumping out porn and suggestive drawings, her art style began to change for the worse.

Not even surprised to see these design changes from a tif though. If a tif’s self-hating and misogynist enough to think not aligning 100% with the image of hyperfemininity means she must be a male, then she’s still going retain that if she detranses without genuine self-reflection, i.e girl with flat chest and short hair must be tifboy, actual girl must be long-haired tittymonster.

I came up with this for a thread image. Do you guys think it would be fun to have the same mechanics of art fight on an anonymous forum? As in, there are two different teams, each post nets points for your team etc. So anons would include their team name with their posts, and I could tally up the points at the end on a spreadsheet. Or is that doing too much, because we could just draw each others characters? I figured I would post about it here now and then post the actual thread at the start of July, so people have time to prepare OCs if they would like to participate.

Back then everyone was just having fun and the drama was at most one specific person did something crazy/one specific friend group blew up/slap fighting over ships. And I'm not saying people don't have fun anymore, but these days everyone is virtue signalling and cancelling each other over nothing and tims and tifs rule over everyone. All of these people claim to be autists and yet if anyone steps a toe out of line from bizarre internet social norms they are cancelled forever, especially if they're a woman. Art fight is a prime example, dozens of anons got banned for the crime of being farmers, when just 15 years ago no one would've gave a fuck. Or just earlier in the thread with this retard in

>>2552033nta I think it's a phase, a thing that hits us in waves. The wave could be over, likeminded people who aren't easily affected by fiction can soon enough interact in a space where they're not afraid someone amidst them will turn into a wereTIF. While depressing that they're everywhere, we know the signs to avoid. I've lost art friends to this movement who obsess over tit scars as much as they used to obsess over angsty characters finding love amidst suffering. But we'll find each other eventually. The world is healing. I'm seeing artists off this site that say they want no part in any of that gender bullshit or openly mention being fans of yaoi. We'll get through this.

I wanted to share my personal experiences with nodraws+crabs. As far as sounding very IC, I'm sure many of them frequented the place, which would explain why they all had the same concern/fixation.
I actually got questioned for not using "proper"(?) construction lines by some dude who spent months on the same awkward graphite drawing. He was doing the least to feel as if he had some
valid input and would always give me updates of his 55th erasing until I blocked him.

I would congratulate penporo for waking up from the trooncult but Im vindicated because she went from one pipeline straight into another and now I honestly dont care shes getting dogpiled for deciding to turn her oc into generic bimbo coomslop. I would be more apologetic if she kept the design but got rid of the tif label, Karo couldve been a super cute GNC woman

>>2552283And to think all this wouldn't've happened if she had remembered it was "pride month", because it's TIFs reading too much into the fact that she "detransed" her OC during this time that blew this up. When it's likely that since not being an Aiden anymore, she went about her normal life,
as normal as it can be with a coomer bf, and just didn't pay attention to stuff like that anymore, I can't actually blame her for that. But deleting those posts was a bad move because troons see it as admittance of wrong doing rather than trying to keep the peace, she should've admitted that Karo/Vela is essentially a self insert and usually reflects her current image goals or something, especially since the other cheesecake character with the blue hair that's a star healer(?) is already accepted to be akin to a self insert among her followers(like when she posted a selfie and most of them said she
totally looks just like that character).

I’m not at all an expert renderfag but what helped me get more of a comprehension of the process is gradually studying more and more complexly rendered pieces, like for example, movie adaptions of western cartoons are a pretty simple yet effective and dynamic portrayal of simple rendering/shading and light, and after you kinda get comfortable, moving onto stylized yet realistic rendering styles like those seen in anime pixiv art, VN cgs and some of the tutorials that are on xiaohongshu. Then, you might even be able to graduate to sakimichan tier rendermaxxing. Practicing with a lot of different tutorials until you find one that really clicks with you, and adapting it to different situations and areas may also help.
These posts from /m/ nonnas are also pretty good beginners practice!

>ColourRead about colour theory (Art of Colour by Johannes Itten is your best friend) and do a handful of colour studies traditionally- pencils and watercolours are good for this exercise. Do studies of paintings you like, something you could do is make one version with colour picking and then one trying to recreate it without, reading about how the painting was made could help. Photo studies are good too. Eventually wean yourself off colour picking and purely rely on your vision. Super autistic and optional but learn how light works and how that effects colour.

They apparently aren’t together anymore. She actually broke up with Scratch sometime last year which was shocking given how she and the people orbiting her were always quick to defend him. honestly the object show community as a whole is full to the brim with the most insane and worst types of drama/fandom people you can think of.

TMI and very stupid but I'm coming to the realisation that my art was at its best when I was going through an embarrassing mental health episode. Fundamentally it was quite bad, there are many painful anatomy mistakes, but I had better ideas and had more drive to sit at a computer drawing several hours a day to make those ideas into reality. So, the obvious conclusion to get from that is to bully myself into drawing more but man what a depressing realisation. I noticed whenever I post old art from that period people praise it more than my current work, and despite the fact I don't need tons of positive feedback it's still embarrassing that others seem to realise that too.

>>2553065What feelings brought you to that mental health episode? What brought you out of that episode? What did you learn from that mental health episode? What are your goals for the future? What fears do you have? What brings you joy? What type of scenery would truly bring you peace to exist in? What type of people do you love? What type of people can you not stand? Both theoretically and in real life?
I also suffer from poor mental health and it fuels my art, but I specifically use the changes my episodes have permanently had on me as themes. As in, what did I learn? What are things about my mental health that will always affect me, even during the good times? Where has my mental health put me in life, and where do I want to go from here? I view my work as an extension of myself, inseparable. We are two different people so what works for me might not work for you, but if your work is at it's best when it's emotionally driven, perhaps it's time to consult your other emotions.

>>2553093Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply. I really appreciate these questions, I've never really thought about it from that angle!
For some of the questions it was regular degular mild OCD-esque psychosis and paranoia that went away by itself after a year, still not sure of the initial trigger, I was flipping a lot to feeling very fearful and agitated but then very at peace with the world because I was seeing a lot of connections where there plausibly wasn't any. Which would then spark new ideas that were interesting just because of the weird associations. Me and my "tweaker self" feel like completely different people and create very different things despite the fact "we" are always influencing "each other" in some way, so I can see use in what you've written

>>2553268I relate to you so bad,
nonnie. I dealt with the same thing, OCD driven psychosis and paranoia that made me borderline crazy but at the same time the obsessions and paranoia made me SO CREATIVE. I made concepts that nowadays, i would not be able to create. I'm to this day milking the personality that i developed for myself while dealing with OCD episodes. I think that, with some effort, we can do it, we can get back to the artistic state we were before if we find another way of being inspired. Another passion, not the passion of the obsessive state, of the extreme hate or fear, but the passion of pure interest and love. I'm not sure if this makes sense for you. I hope you can get over this,
nonnie.

every artist. The stuff the "masters" have praised as holding feeling and emotion might have been our first hint towards that.

forgive me for being ~classist~, for the record i have never been rich but not insanely poor either. but i just can’t believe that most of the zoomer tiktok artists seem to only draw on their phone, and just use ibis paint. i have such a negative view on ibis paint, it’s the #1 poorfag art program. i tried it out and couldn’t believe you have to watch ads to use brushes. sure you have access to them for hours after watching it, but i still couldn’t stand it. there’s permanent ads displaying on the canvas interface too.
and the fact that they do all this on their phone? how do they even draw, don’t tell me they use their fingers? do they use normal screenless tablets to draw by connecting the usb to their phone? that would make more sense, but i’ve always shuddered at the idea of trying to draw on a phone, the screen is so insanely small.
it’s really sad that families these days don’t have a home computer anymore. i started my digital art journey by using the family computer like pic related, and my first tablet was a wacom bamboo which was probably only $40 to $70, can’t remember the price but it was definitely affordable. i understand that buying a computer that fits today’s standards is expensive, but why can’t these kids ask mommy and daddy for a laptop? even if it’s a cheaper laptop at least it would still be miles better than drawing on a phone. i feel frustrated on behalf of these kids posting their art on tiktok and i see the crowded ibis paint interface on their phone screen. they talk about how they’re too poor to afford anything more than this. basically there’s an 80% that a zoomer artist on tiktok uses ibis paint. i wonder if most of these artists live in 3rd world countries which would explain a lot. is buying a laptop there still expensive?

>>2553771Drawing on a phone is not that hard actually, and using your finger is much easier and doesn't give you cramps unlike a mouse (talking in a "too poor to buy anything" scenario, I think we all started digital art on MSPaint/SAI and a mouse). Back in 2014 I would draw on a tiny Sony Xperia and Medibang when I was out my house and came up with an idea.
But yeah, I get you. I see many children that are great artists (for their age, like picrel) using Ibis and it makes me want to spent $300 on a second hand laptop and tablet just to see them using their full potential. As
>>2553835 said, most of them are thirdies and while a cheap second hand laptop and a tablet costs are much as their current phone, it's just not worth for them. Think about it, ALL teens use are apps, there isn't much a computer offers you that your phone doesn't. Youtube? Check. Social media? All apps. Video and photo editing sofware? Check. Even videogame emulation is now on phones.
I don't even think these kids know there is more internet outside twitter and rentry. So yeah, while they technically could, I think they just prefer to use their current tool since it gives them results they're ok with. Maybe when they grow up they realize how limited it is and switch up to a samsumg tablet at the very least.
>it’s really sad that families these days don’t have a home computer anymoreThis fucks me up, I understand people might no buy computers/laptops as much anymore but don't they even have a hands-me-down one from 2013 or so? Don't these people have to do excels, rent and shit for their work?
