Matter of fact, do you guys think we should have a thread on Rae??? Is she cowish enough?
No. 277689
>>277591I mean, I kind of agree with her here. A lot of "cringe" compilations are taking things from people who are obviously children and making fun of them. Like, yeah, this 13-year-old has shit art/animation with totally embarassing edgy OCs that are obvious knockoffs of other characters. of course they do, most 13yos do crap like that. That sort of shit though can make kids totally give up out of embarassment.
Mind you if you're an adult it's kind of free game. You're hopefully at that point mature enough that if someone makes fun of you for cringey art it's not going to deter you from making art or doing whatever it is you do.

No. 278115
>>278102I totally agree. I genuinely enjoy watching actaully good (real) artist, but what kills me is their setup/audio/qaulity of the video in general. WhytManga,AlphansoDunn ect ect are examples of that to me at least. The bad editing and shit can really turn someone off from watching an otherwise good video.
I would add in, that alot of really good artist dont have enough content in general, half the time they will have 2-7 videos at maximum. But my theory is that they dont have time to focus all that energy into editing/setting up the video becuase they are actaully trying to improve their art work and skills. Versus morons like Rae,Kasey,Holly,Waffles,(Jazza oops) just throw out shitty art work with no depth or improvement. In order to compensate they have to make their videos sound/look decent to catch the viewers attention long enough. Also they have to have exceptional /not in the good way/ personalities and jump on bandwagons at any chance in order to stay relevant. People who actaully have skill dont feel the need to be fake and flashy because they are too focused on more important things.
It should be noted that many people on Youtube have tiny attention spans and most of these peoples fans are 10-16 year olds. And even dumbass 20 year olds, but regardless they usally dont have the maturity to sift through whos actaully good and whos faking it.
No. 278119
>>278115>>278102I agree with both
another thing I think that keeps people from viewing those videos is that the art can be intimidating. Watching someone draw the same dinsey girl over and over again is more comfortable for a new and young artist. Unlike seeing a highly skilled professional that is constantly improving.

>>278519Going through her portfolio she has some decently cute stuff but looking at her work as a whole makes a majority of her illustrations seem bland. She has a lot of inconsistencies with her anatomy, especially when drawing faces

No. 278606
>>278591I don't think her biggest problem is her fundamentals. What bothers me the most about her is lack of creativity. Of course we should always be striving to improve our fundamentals, but it seems like this whole "fundamentals" ordeal has become sort of a parrot thing in these threads. She's not perfect, but she already manages to make some pictures that are pleasant to look at.
Her art just seems extremely one dimensional to me when it comes to subjects, but that seems to be a problem she has herself, her personality also seems pretty one dimensional. I know we can't really tell how someone is through the content they put up on the internet, but most people start being a little shy on Youtube and then branch out. She's still very monotone and uneventful.

>>278606 said. looking at the pic you posted, it's clear that she
had to put in extra details to make sure people knew that this was sailormoon. if you get rid of the hair, compact and luna's forehead decoration, you'd never guess that's what this was supposed to be. the worst thing is that it would be better and have more depth if this was just some random NEET OC girl.
also, nothing's interacting with eachother properly. anatomy aside, but the weirdest part is usagi's hair. the plate is floating under her hair and it just takes away the look of interaction in general. it's just weird and sloppy. coupled with sameface and bad anatomy it's all bad.

No. 278862
>>278844Uh no? The school uniform is also a giveaway.
True that the artist has a sameface syndrome but you are really nitpicking the Sailor Moon drawing.
Of course if she drew her without her hair and uniform she would look like a random character or any other sailor (like Venus). The girls in SM suffer from sameface syndrome too.
I disagree that Luna and the compact are put there to make it clear it's Usagi as it's obvious from the way the character looks. They are just part of Usagi's world displayed in the picture.
I think this is a nice fanart though I've seen the concept a few times and agree that a pic with original character in this style would be interesting.
I also dislike artists just drawing pretty characters without deeper concept but this fanart is fine in my eyes.

The problem with these artists is that they only want to draw pretty/cute things, but doing that just makes them improve more slowly and it takes away artistic value from their work.
For example: you are trying to draw a pretty girl. In order to keep her looking pretty she has to be young, which means there won't be much detail (wrinkles) on her face and also you limit her expression (she has to have a neutral face so there won't be any wrinkles on her face or god forbid nasolabial folds), her pose, and the lighting (shadows all over the face are not cute!!) and then you end up with a boring generic drawing. But really a drawing of an ugly orc with his face wrinkled in anger and with lights and shadows playing on his face (which help portray volume) has so much more artistic value and is interesting to look at because its shows the artist's various skills. With a drawing of a pretty girl looking blankly at the camera/into the distance you show only knowledge of anatomy. If that.
There is a reason you rarely have pretty youthful models at life drawing classes. Also pic related is a drawing by Even Mehl Amundsen
No. 280667
>>280651As someone who used to draw, drawing and painting “pretty girls” is easier and faster. Especially for the YT artists, cause they need to pump up videos to stay relevant.

>>280651I wouldn't say it's easy for them just because young pretty girls don't have a lot of wrinkles and stuff. Part of why it's easy for them is simply because that's what they spend more time drawing. It's their comfort zone.
I used to find it easier to draw people I considered "ugly" because I didn't have to mind where I was putting things as much, meanwhile if I wanted to draw a perfectly pretty girl I had to be very careful about not having anything out of place.
Anywyas, the "problem" is not them only wanting to draw pretty things, it's them wanting to stay inside a small comfort zone of their borderline childish taste. And that's not even a problem, if they enjoy doing it and it fits their artistic needs. You can do much more sophisticated pieces of beautiful people, such as Karla Ortiz' piece I've added to my post.

>>280696I'd argue that it is a crutch because some of them rely on pretty things to produce pretty drawings. Even then some of them still fail. I believe that a good artist has the capacity to make any subject matter beautiful.
On a side note, I feel like some artists jump in to youtube too soon and get sucked in. It creates a situation where if they make it, they start to neglect their artistic development or worse think they're better than they are. It really is a shame. Art is not easy and it definitely is a humbling experience.

>>283727I agree that anon was reaching and some people just parrot the term around, but there are some characteristics that loosely group a few people together as adepts of the "tumblr" style. To me, it's the following:
Picture an artist. It's a college aged person who either is a part of or sympathizes with the LGBT community. It's an animation student or enthusiast, and its biggest influences are Disney, Cartoon Network shows (they used to draw those Adventure Time noodly arms, but now they gravitate more towards Steven Universe noses) and Anime. Probably owned some Nintendo console and are inclined to be part of a fandom. They make sure to include POC and or LGBT characters on what they do, even if they are making fanart and it makes absolutely no sense to turn those characters into minorities. Their version of alternative girls are those basic witches with micro bangs and some sort of generic tomboy lesbian. Oh, and let's not forget the inclination to draw obese people (almost exclusively women) as something beautiful.

No. 284194
>>283990Exactly. The "tumblr style" isn't necessarily a visual style per se, but it's a recurring theme in the art pieces. Nonbinary transsexual fat lesbians with undercuts, non-conventional beauty and surface-level ugliness (like the vitiligo trend some years ago and stretch marks), racebending, everything about the art trying its damnest to make some sort of an aggressive sociopolitical stand with overused tropes and thinking it's more intelligent and artistic than it really is.
This is another reason why I hate it when people say "try different styles" meaning that someone should just rip off another artist's drawing/painting style. If you really want to exit your comfort zone, draw something with a theme you haven't experimented with before.

Art that gets labeled "tumblr" is wildly varying levels of quality, so I can't say if I like it or not.

I ask because sometimes we get a blind spot for things we like. Same way if we don't like it, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Indeed, I myself pay attention to the "tumblr style" things because I personally hate it, so the patterns stick out more to me.

Like following someone else’s tutorial, making her boyfriend follow her tutorial, reading mean comments, make her pet picks her art supplies, a compilation video of her doing stupid shit… etc
I have been following the Beauty community ever since Michelle Phan was doing her cosplay makeup, so I can tell where she got her videos ideas from and from whom.

At the end of the day art should make a person happy when they create it (even if its bad as hell). As long as they strive to improve and do their thing its not even that serious. What i find funny is that they sreech this "Your allow to say something is bad!!!!! Even if it hurts the persons feelings!!"

No. 287197
>>287028She needs an anatomy book that focuses on muscle groups and adding skin over top of them like Anatomy for Sculptors specifically.
She seems to have no understanding of how to draw them from just seeing the skin over them, it’s so different for each body it’s not a reliable way of learning anyways. It reminds me of Baylee Jae honestly. Not as bad, but still not utilizing resources properly.
No. 287677
>>287670im inclined to agree. The worst people have really said about waffles is that her laugh and voice is nasally and her sketching is chicken scratch-y. She pushes herself to be better and recognizes her faults in artwork and when she isn't confident or sure of something like with the palletbox unboxing. she admitted that the box felt like but she wasn't sure about the price of the Qor watercolors and went to check and didn't complain or fault the box for "feeling" light after checking the prices of the watercolors. She doesn't try to act like she knows more or better like holly, not an edgelord like Spechie and actually does art and tries to improve unlike Baylee.
tl;dr: Waffles has her faults cause no one is perfect but she doesn't seem like a cow and her only two flaws people point out is her voice and sketching. Sketching can be fixed but you can't fix a voice which seems unfair to nitpick someone over.
No. 287693
>>287689"Chicken scratch" are those broken off sorta hairy looking lines people who are not very confident in their lines make.

I’m not sure if “chicken skratch” is the problem so much as lack of skill. Sketchiness looks great when there is knowledge of the form, because those initial lines are put down as a sort of guideline or map, and not as a wild guess at the final line that is to be to be refined and refined after several versions. There’s no one “correct” way to draw but fewer, more thought out lines lines will always be more efficient than many wild guesses in my book.

No. 290160
>>289942I would say that there are some things with copics you couldn't achieve with other mediums simply due to the quality of alcohol markers. After all, there is a reason why they are different than say watercolor or colored pencils. Digitally, you can recreate the look of copics but you can recreate the look of just about anything digitally.
Traditionally, markers are used because of their vibrant colors without having to layer a lot like watercolors or colored pencils, quick drying and are dry near instantly after putting it onto the paper unless you put down a lot of ink and don't have a period of time where they have to dry like watercolors, etc.

No. 294932
>>294870My only problem with them is that they use bizarre pigment mixes to make their paints more vibrant so the lightfastness is effected negatively. The pure pigment set doesn’t have that problem obviously. But their raw sienna is far more vibrant than other raw siennas because they aren’t using the traditional pigment used for raw sienna. They just use different ones to make them more vibrant. It’s weird and I mix a lot so I usually go with brands that focus on single pigments for the majority of their colors. That being said they are really good quality and I enjoy them. I also own their White Class paints which are fun to use. It just bothers me that I can’t use the ultramarine in that set because they didn’t use the ultramarine pigment for it. So it’s not even lightfast. If you don’t care about that though there’s zero reason not to use them.

No. 295524

Her shading just seems like it comes from some sort of ambient light, albeit maybe not something given direct thought. I just think people's problems are in their expectations rather than the Youtubers, I mean, why the hell do you expect people whose intentions seem to be drawing for fun to be excellent at anything? It just seems like you're giving yourself grievances over nothing. Just cut the cord and stop watching them if you know it won't satisfy you.
No. 295525
>>295523We defend Waffles because most things people talk about her are extremely nitpicky for no reason whatsoever. Seems like people have turned the artist threads into some nitpicking braindump rather than pointing out some actual milk, maybe because the art community tends to be so scarce on milk (and the ones who are constantly milky have gotten their own threads).
Seems like some people here get annoyed at others for merely existing, and as suggested, just stop watching them if their art doesn't please you. That ain't something to write home about.

Not only are you saying it's your indisputable right to have expectations about some random internet person's skill progression, that said person I'm assuming you don't know has the OBLIGATION to meet your expectations?
Is this real?
I guess the problem here is how artists on Youtube are viewed. You claim to have this right to have expectations on her skill level because it's her job, but really, an Youtuber's job is to be an entertainer. They don't have to be good at anything, they just have to entertain their audiences enough for them to want to keep watching the videos. Some people do this by eating noodles on camera, others draw in a whole range of skill levels.
No. 295640
>>295575Of course people are defending her because she doesn't seem to be a bad person, that's the whole point of lolcow, to point cow behavior. Having art flaws does not constitute a cow, unless it's part of a bigger thing such as them being delusional and thinking they're the best artist in the world. The reason people like Lemia and Kasey get dragged is because of their personalities, thus cow-ish behavior.
I'm not personally defending Waffles because I think her art is great, I just think it's irrelevant to have several posts pointing out she draws ugly faces. We get it. Now, if she was an ass and people wanted to point it out, that would be more relevant.
No. 295708
>>295581>She's not a good personSo far there doesn't seem anything that points to her being a bad person. She doesn't go on long rants about people doing things she doesn't like, talk down on other people, etc. she doesn't even go on about how classically trained she is or IIRC call herself a professional artist. Someone having a slow rate of improvement isn't milky when they don't play up their art to be what it isn't.
plus it's just low hanging fruit to try to say someone is a cow or milky based on the fact that they draw ugly faces but doesn't boast about their art skill and works on improving. it's unrealistic to expect someone to not have art flaws just because they draw regularly for youtube but don't consider themselves professional or classically trained artists. It's like kicking dirt.
No. 295757
>>295575Not saying this as a reason to criticize Waffles, personally I don’t think there’s anything cowish about her as others have said. But just because someone has an illness isn’t particularly a reason to whiteknight someone. There’s a cow on kiwifarms that people follow specifically because they post ridiculous and entertaining stuff due to severe paranoia from schizophrenia and various related stuff. I don’t believe that their illness is necessarily an excuse for stuff. They choose to post, no matter how deluded they are. I’ve seen other minor cows that have deluded thinking from mental illness overshare and be ridiculous on the internet, so I don’t think it’s exactly okay to whiteknight someone solely because of an illness.
Once again, I don’t think we should bother with people that don’t have much cowish behavior. Just pointing out whiteknighting because of an illness is kinda flawed in my mind. To each their own I guess though.

Hi, first time posting on here, sorry for any mistakes
There's this animation memer called Lovely Lauren that's been getting popular lately, and I get a bad feeling whenever I see her stuff
She specialises in "creepy" stuff, which isn't why I dislike her, just that she seems to look down on people who draw cutesy stuff instead of being creepy
I actually found her channel first because of Pkrussl's meme review of Sir Fluff, where she commented "zoinks". I thought it was just a joke at first, but after visiting her Tumblr and seeing that she only likes two animators (Sir Fluff excluded, by the way), it started to feel a bit condescending
All her OCs seem to have mental illnesses of sorts, and as far as I know from their bios, their personalities are really flat with no real goal or ambition but mental illnesses thrown in randomly, which is kind of a dick move if she thinks mental illnesses contribute to her creepy aesthetic
This is her latest OC
No. 299706
>>299667That could be part of the reason, but it might also be because she's becoming irrelevant, and she's finding that the return on investment for making videos for YT isn't satisfying to her anymore and that's fine? I'm not sure what she expected when it comes to her numbers vs others who do different content.
Isn't she the one who founded the YTAC? she doesn't really have anything to complain about. She's doing fine. She's just deciding to kind of cut her losses unless the video she wants to make is better quality and that's fine. Fussing about her numbers vs others in her circle isn't going to help her tho.
Edited to add that the same thing is kind of happening to baylee, she had similar worries, even though she hit that 1 mil milestone her views are still less than stellar.

All of their art is either a bad attempt at the DP art style or attempting to do the BH6 tv-show art style and somehow giving everyone the same face.
A few years back they became kind of a well known artist in the DP fandom bc most OCs were recolors of canon characters as opposed to being drawn.
This resulted in a hugeass egotistical person who cannot take critic leveled at their poorly written, poorly drawn characters. If you don't like their art, or their characters you're a 'hater.' Their main self-insert-sue is a character named Carrie Angel.
You can google her and get a few results from various sue-blogs from a while back.

She says she thinks he hated her because he gave her a bad grade… on an assignment she literally stated he did incorrectly. But nooo, clearly he must hate you! What is it with shitty Youtube artists and taking criticism so personally?
There's a reason art professors and teachers hate anime- you're supposed to learn proper anatomy before you learn stylized anime. Learning anime first (especially in high school) will permanently fuck your ability to grasp anatomy and proportions. It's putting the horse before the cart.
When a student walks into a college figure class with a portfolio full of anime, guess what the professor thinks? "Great, I'm going to have to UN-teach them all the incorrect anime anatomy they learned before I even begin to teach them actual anatomy."
When high school teachers weed out no-talent weebs, it basically makes professors' jobs easier.

Anyway inktober is a shitshow. Artists tend to be so stuck up about what other artists are doing that the next thing they know they're 2 days behind and still trying to gatekeep an arbitrary challenge that's open to anyone to interpret.
I always found the 'official' prompt lists to be shit, though Jake Parker makes absolute bank for throwing words up in a graphic every year. Not gonna lie, wish I'd thought of it.

>>303310The official website says you can use watercolour, it just suggests sticking to one colour; probably because a black watercolour can be used pretty much the same as a black liquid ink. They've definitely expanded the official challenge to include more mediums and appeal to a wider range of artists, although I remember when it first came about and it was actually focused on the whole concept of
inking. I don't think I'd worry so much that people used watercolour if they were using it to "ink" a piece, but people that just create typical paintings with watercolour definitely bend the rules a bit too much in their favour.
I know the digital art community got really upset last year when Parker said digital work wasn't fully in the spirit of a permanent stroke that can't be undone, which also sparked a lot of claims of ableism, meanwhile the website had a promotion with Autodesk, so honestly I don't think even he knows what he wants out of the challenge.

Its that simple.
Like I understand buying the materials maybe a problem (I guess), but if you MUST do it digitally then I think digital artist shouldnt be allowed to use color, undo, or erase because its starting to get out of hand.

From the official Inktober FAQ:
>Q. Can I work digitally?>A: Yes. Initially, the challenge of Inktober was focused on traditional inking. Although learning how to ink digitally is a skill separate from traditional inking it is no less valid. If you want to improve your digital inking skills then doing Inktober digitally is a great way to challenge yourself. Just be cool to those who want to use traditional inks. And traditional inkers, be cool to those who are trying to improve with their digital inking.Don't get me wrong, I preferred when inktober was an actual inking challenge, but you can't get high an mighty that people are including digital in Inktober when the actual official Inktober challenge website has decided to include digital. It's not her fault that it's included.

Question for yall. I've always been a fan of Vickisigh's art, and googled her today for some reason. I was surprised to see an Encyclopedia Dramatica page on her pop up close to the top. Even though I like her art, I was interested to see if there was some milk on her I was unaware of, especially since it seemed like a pretty long entry.
But….reading through the whole thing, it just reads like an insane vendetta post. Or am I just crazy? Is she a controversial figure at all? Just seems like a pretty vanilla twitter/patreon artist to me.

>Like so many big talking, egotistical fuckwits that sell themselves on the internet with big promises claiming that they're a mover and shaker and to expect big things from them when they say, Watch me and see how I change the world, Vicki has no real commitment in ever actually being a real artist like she claims. All art, to her, is a job like working as a burger flipper at McDonalds because if she did, she'd be putting more pride into her work and wouldn't be flooding the internets with every drawing she shit out much in the same way that a 4-year-old demands that every scribble they produce should be put up on the fridge for display.?????

As I was listening to the video my brain immediately went to either Holly or Lemia. Lemia seems like the kind of 'saccharine on camera, cunt behind the scenes' type and Holly is just a miserable busybody all around. It could be Baylee, but she's known for lifting ideas and I don't think her Dunning-Krueger's so strong that she'd bother Emily over it.
Holly is probably my biggest suspect. She likes to stick her fingers in the pies of almost everyone in the artist community, and behind semi-closed doors, she's vindictive and bitchy. She's the kind of cow that will talk mad shit about someone to her friends, then turn around and try befriending them.

He did landscapes. Not people. It's not out there for people to specialize, but he wasn't a one track mind. He painted a wide range of landscapes, from forests to lakes to mountains to snowy cabins, etc. Drawing just women isn't on the same level at all. It would be more like if Bob Ross only ever different evergreen trees. But he didn't. He branched out and did all sorts of trees, and mountains, and skies.
Lot's of people specialize in drawing/painting people in the form of character design or illustration. But the good ones can usually draw a wide range of people, not just women.

Painting a wide variety of different landscapes and being a genuinely sweet, beloved human being is very different from drawing nothing but cartoon girls and acting like that makes you superior.

>>318885It kind of unfortunate she's so insecure, and I think you're right that it might be part of why she didn't put in that much effort. A shame because she is pretty! In the video she also had a preliminary sketch that wasn't as bad, but when she put it on watercolour paper she messed it up, and instead of fixing it just didn't bother. So another part of why is was so terrible wasn't skill it was a lack of trying.
>>318894Honestly she's really not that bad. She's actually a pretty good cartoonist. I actually do like her videos a lot, and I don't think she's this terrible person or artist, even if I'd like to see her get better.
It's mostly just annoying that she's bringing up Bob Ross negatively (she don't gotta like him, but it seems like a weird fight to pick) to try and counter people who think she should branch out. If Kasey doesn't want to branch out and increase her ability's reach, that's fine, she can legit just ignore it or say "I'm currently happy just doing what I do right now, and at the moment don't want to try other subjects. Thanks for the suggestion!" Which sounds less like "I don't want to improve so I'm gonna go off on how people don't criticize a dead man" and more like "This is what makes me happy and for now it's what I'm sticking to." She just needs to learn to take constructive criticism better, or at least learn to ignore it entirely. Not question why no one said the same about Bob Ross (although no doubt some people did sit on their sofas and wish he'd paint portraits)

And because she's too much of a coward to just own what she enjoys doing she has to attack said icon on his birthday of all days and upset the "happy people" she despises so much to feel better about herself.

i assume we can post IG artists here. i just have a question, is anyone else tired of internet artists being super entitled? i'm an artist, so i get it, art is hard, it can be deeply personal, etc. etc. but getting this upset about "copying" is stupid and a waste of energy. hardly anyone truly sets out to intentionally copy someone's art style. the only people that DO are usually really young kids, or lazy people trying to make money by imitating an already established artist.
the funniest part is, these kinds of whiny artists are usually on tumblr, and this user's totally unique and personal art looks like every other basic edgy tumblr art style.

idk, what are your thoughts? as an artist, i know i'm a creative person, but i also know that my "creativity" and all my ideas are an amalgamation of every neat piece of media i've ever seen. unless the person is actually doing a straight-up copy, why the hell do you care if they credit every single one of their inspirations? it'd be nice, sure, but i'm not going to have a panic attack if i THINK someone is ~inspired~ by my art and doesn't say anything. that just seems narcissistic.

No one following you for art gives a shit about your opinions. That's just a fact.

Uh, guys. I’d bet money it’s Kattvalk. Remember how Emily specifically said she got dm’d because her unicorn was stealing the unnamed artuber’s “aesthetic”, and then Emily went on a rant about how rainbows and unicorns and Lisa Frank shit was huge nowadays and everyone was doing it, confirming it’s the unicorn drawing from four months ago, not the one she did two years ago? Aside from the purple skin, Emily’s and KattValk’s unicorns do look similar enough I could see a gatekeeping youtuber jumping on it, and accusing her of stealing.

Nice deduction there.
It's interesting to me that the unicorn drawn 4 years ago doesn't look much like the unicorn Emily did 4 months. Then when Kattvalk redraws it, it does look a bit more similar to Emily's (the horn, the sveltness).
Unicorns aren't something you can just say belongs to one person though, that's a pretty universal idea.

I uncovered something juicy, if we’re working off the idea it was Kattvalk who harassed Emily. Remember how she allegedly said her last collab left a bad taste in her mouth, and how she didn’t want to do another for awhile because of it? Her last collab was with Baylee…

Also, I really don’t understand the Bob Ross thing. Yes it’s incredibly tacky and gross to say he’s a waste of space, but at the same time he’s also a complete stranger to all the people getting upset - at the end of the day he was just a tv personality

They're literally the backbone of these channels, they're the ones clicking and watching without adblock (which most adults use), so to use any opportunity to talk down to that same audience is pretty hypocritical when you wouldn't be anyone without them.
I was watching doodle dates stream earlier and Kasey was in there complaining about how entitled her younger audience is. Just fucking get over it.

>>331181Danica's art reminds me a lot of the kinds of things Kelogsloops draws. Is this a really popular style?
No. 331267
>>331260When comparing the two, I do prefer Kelogsloops work. When you compare what he was putting out in the beginning, you can see the growth from doing strictly portraits to creating paintings like these.
Another thing I've noticed about Danica is her inability to draw males that are not androgynous. She goes on and on about how much growth she's gone through and I just don't see it.

Creepshow Art plans on making a video about lolcow which means we're likely to be flooded with dumbass 12 year olds.

>>331272Creepshow art is really trying to stay relevant with the Holly controversy & is only gonna make a lolcow video that is literally gonna be her sperging about two or three irrelevant comments just to have something to talk about cuz her content is dry
her art reminds me of the art radical feminists make with their stupid color + anatomy choices & dumbass looking eyes & features trying too hard to be unique. Truly the tweens are following her for the drama not her ugly ass bimbo art

I’m going to assume she’s charging at the minimum $5 for art like this
Muddy colors, shitty anatomy, uninteresting basic compositions, scratch that- her sense of composition is wack, her characters got no scleras lmao if she’s really charging more for art like this her followers better get some sense & riot

>>331752The top lip lipstick thing has been around for ages. Kim Possible.
>>331867Honestly if she only had crap to say I wouldn't have blamed her either, considering how much of lolcow is people being assholes and insulting people for no good reason, but this was certainly an interesting development. I can't say I'm totally surprised since oddly she strikes me as someone who'd use the website.
One way or the other, I love watching drama unfold. Godspeed.

None of these yt artists can draw a head correctly attached to a muthafuckin neck
No. 332211
>>332184it's not like any of them do studies, the majority of them just draw priddy ladies over and over.
>>332131lolcow doesn't really take notice of anyone unless they have a shitty personality and do shitty things. lacking artistic skill isn't milk, so no one is going after perfectly nice artists who are still working on improving. just assholes like kasey, holly, etc.

>>332230Just the neck and shoulders wide enough to make sense of the head size. Personally I think keeping proportions is preferable to stylization extremes unless it’s a cartoon but that’s just my opinions and y’all are free to your own.
No. 332248
>>332231Sage because OT
I’ve gotta be honest, Andrew Loomis’s proportions have always been hugely unappealing and often incorrect, I have no idea why so many artfags consider his word law
No. 332259
>>332248>>332231I don't know if pic related was loomis, but
-hands are too short
-wrists start too low
-distance between top of breast and top of shoulder too long
-shoulders too broad
-If shoulders are that broad, hips would be wider/rear looks quite male in angle
People should just draw what they want. Each artist has their own interpretation of what something looks like, if you copy or follow the teachings of one, you mimic their interpretation.
No. 332268
>>332248Do you have any recommendations on other people to study from?
>>332259I agree that people should ultimately draw what they want, but you need to start somewhere, and often that's by copying or by having a teacher.

>>332362it's not 'more male than female', that was just the female ideal at the time. who would've thunk, times change and the hourglass figure wasn't always the most prized. pic related, 1930s fashion plate
it might not be appealing to you but don't be dumb. it's not masculine just because the figure doesn't have a fat ass
