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.
>What are your thoughts on…?Look through older artist salts or give context.

>>2577851It only happened because of some self hating troon snitch that tattletaled on tumblr. Who knows if that gendie is still lurking here, I did suggest that nonas figure out a new tag to identify themselves with earlier before the event started but nothing happened
>>2577852Yeah that person probably thought it was a flattering compliment but personally I wouldn’t really appreciate some self hating misogynist complimenting me like that. Kinda wish I could tell her to fuck off kek
No. 2578078
>>2577846Oh it's gotta be. My schizoid take is that the mods are stalking these threads and found out some (2) nonas are early prepping by drawing pics ahead of time, so they just "oopsie daisied" the images suspiciously close to the opening time of Artfight.
If that is the case then kek. Dumbasses have no idea how YCHs work, and that we can just set shit up early
anyway. (it is not the case)
>>2577851Yes. I wasn't part of the ban wave since my paranoid wouldn't let me connect my online identity to the site
anyway. I just want to draw people free shit without them thinking I'm open for requests.
>>2577860>pre-summerWhere have all the nonas gone… (BETTING the brujo containment thread kek)
>>2577862Better paranoid than careless, I guess. I was thinking about making a cow OC but I don't know if they'd automatically hone in on it because of how recently it'd be posted.
I mainly use this imageboard to talk to semi-normie women, since I already get involved with so many fucking gendies on a regular basis. The fact that I don't wanna be is considered a crime is insane.>>2577944I draw, and I'm paranoid!

really owns the oc's design here?
>>2577851the ban wave gave me a bad taste in my mouth too but i still look forward to the event because there really isn't nothing like it online, unless you make a circle of artist friends and… in this economy, really? i also want my oc children to get some love so i'm hoping fingers crossed to get noticed by some really good artists.
side note, is artfight good to translate the attention you get there to the socmed you post art to the rest of the year?
>>2578228> I do start to stress a little about my art skills being too shitty and I worry that I can't churn out art fast enough to revenge every attack that I getthis is me! this year will be my first time participating, so i'm doing it as a test to my discipline. gotta take advantage of unemployment until it lasts.

How do you nonnas improve your traditional art skills? For example: what is the best technique for coloring with pencils? Or shadow with normal black pencils?
Did you improve independently (self help book and videos) or did someone help you in a art class or one on one? (Or maybe both)
No. 2578383
>>2578362>How do you nonnas improve your traditional art skills? I recently got into acrylics. Like,
hardcore got into instead of elementary school tier enjoying myself putting pigment on canvas. Truly the key is to look up stuff on youtube. Just dedicate yourself to looking up random video made by people that are like Bob Ross but better at explaining things and copy what they do.
>Did you improve independently (self help book and videos) or did someone help you in a art class or one on one? (Or maybe both)That's a tricky question. It's more a matter of
>self help via using my own time to find tutorials made by other peopleI don't consider that "self-taught", personally, but that's what I'm doing and have been doing haha. You learn a lot by digging through tumblr archives too.

>>2577846There's no question. A lot of nonnas I know, myself included, like to do ahead prep for AF. These fuckers KNOW very well what they're up to and don't want nonnas to be ahead of the game.
>>2578162Yes. I'm able to click some and load them up.
It just makes it a bit more tedious, but it is what it is.
>>2577851I'm gonna do it but only because my mutuals are too. More fun when you have friends to do it with.
I'm not going as hard as last year though. Last year I went full-on apeshit and only got 3 revenges for every 7 attacks I completed.
Not really sure how nonnas can find one another though when there's some snitchy tranny lurking about.

Of course they put “transphobia” before racism, sexism, and homophobia. Sigh…
No. 2578948
>>2578716very telling of the userbase and staff. most of them are rich white kids that haven't really struggled a second in their lives but since they have a ~spicy~ identity they think their suffering is above them all and that's why they take troonphobia so much deeply than actual bigotry and hatred, they haven't been actually discriminated against… maybe this very obvious fact is better fit for another thread, kek, but it seriously pisses me off how they put troony loony stuff as the #1 thing on everything.
honestly? this makes me more eager to participate, because i'm le evil
terf having fun on their pwecious kweerio website and they probably would be very upset if they knew that.

>>2578424Shape language autists are such a cancer, these ugly designs never look good and instead look amateurish and corporate. They think shape design is the only thing that matters, so as long as you make your character round like a balloon or square like a fridge its clothes or hair doesnt matter. There is a very popular youtube video on youtube that preaches about the importance of shape language, meanwhile picrel is them ''fixing'' a character. The ''improved'' version is the right one that looks like a tranny btw. I dont know how these retards manage to fuck up such a simple concept as shape design, which is meant to enhance a good design. The average townie from the PPG or My life as a teen robot looks 10 times more interesting than that shit.

No. 2579588
>>2578424I blame the obsession with shape language on Tumblr back in the day. Everyone was going through an anti-anime phase and same face syndrome was a popular topic. It turned into those Homestuck character line ups where everyone tried to have the most unique headcanon for the characters (the female characters always conveniently still had a small cute face and hourglass figure though until drawing them like hulking troons became popular) which then infected every other fandom
You can always tell who's really phoning in shape language in their art, there's definitely people who understand it well but I feel a lot use it as a crutch to avoid learning their fundies

Ok so nonna, about erotica:
I like to draw erotica/sexual themes because for me erotica or sexual stuff is either animalistic as in raw action (esp. nudity, I like to draw nudity as the simply state of existing), connection for two persons or simply having fun. Sex and flirting in fun but of course, me drawing erotica gets me exposed to countless moid that like my characters. I only have girl ocs and of course my public pages are public to get engagement but how I can get my erotica art less appealing to moids? So far what I noticed is:
>Moids like embarrassed or surprised situations like uwaah! You walked in me changing! Oh no, this monster is going to fuck me!
>Moids like characters looking at them, not complicity. They like titty character staring at them or at the genitalia of other males
>If it's yuri, they like both girls looking at the viewer
>In straight fucking, only the cock is needed, they don't like to see another moid's face
>Casual nudity has to include a random fetish for them, that's over ly exaggerated (ex. a nude girl but she has weirdly detailed feet)
>Of course, ahegao or weird turtle faces, sweat clouds, overly blushed areas
So far these are my points about what they like but doing a complete 180 on this stuff, puts me into tumblr style, weird tif art. So far my reach got slightly better when I drew confident women that do not look at the viewer but I wonder if anynonna here has some other tips?
No. 2579615
>>2579606And? Yes, I want my miniscule niche, what's strange about it? My question is: how do I make erotica (which is different than straight up mindless porn but I guess that if you cannot tell the two apart, then you probably don't understand what I do) appealing to women or towards the female gaze more? I don't care about popular shit because I already do popular shit under a different name and I know what the average girl/woman on the internet likes, I want to know how to NOT to appeal to men without going full tumblrina/twitter art because not only I don't want to do ugly shit (I refuse to give moids pretty things), I don't want to learn a new artstyle. Is it really that bad trying to fight off this shit? I don't care about how big my public is gonna be or niches, I'm here to get some opinions about patterns and stuff that men don't like so they would fuck off, they aren't even useful but if I block them, I can say bye bye to my career and my side gig, I'm also a crypto so I know what I'm going through, I just want a more curated space.

Actual question; why are skinny and tall/elongated drawings of humans universally seen as more attractive? As soon as it's any level of stylized/cartoony like fashion drawings or in anime it just looks better to people if the character is skinny and super tall. Usually what in reality would be comically long legs like picrel is just accepted as normal and attractive. It seems weird because people don't usually yearn for comically long legs the same as they're into big boobs or whatever. Like proportionally so much of the body is put into the legs… idk I'm definitely overthinking it.

No. 2579630
>>2579627Not only that but most women into self-sexualization are super mega pickmes who would cancel
nonny at the mere hint of misandry. The only way to appeal to women is drawing pastel pink moeblobs with big fat tits like that ugly shit super sonico. But that's also going to attract tons of moids.
