Saged for reasonably small drama, but I'd still like for some of anons' opinions on this.
An online mangaka artist has been uploading tutorials on anatomy and improving one's technique has recently been called out for calling a certain way of lineart "beginner" and twitter went apeshit lol. Turns out that it was just some translation issue from the original japanese tutorial to english.

Told me it’s a stylistic choice and could easily do smooth line work if she wanted to. Then do it, lmao? It makes pieces look like the artist was unsure of what they were doing the entire time but fuck me for trying to help a friend improve I guess - and yes, I’d very much like my friends to give me solid advice and critique on how to improve my pieces also but whenever I ask all I get is ‘I like it, it’s good!!’, so infuriating how a lot of artists seem completely against both giving and receiving criticism

Hot take, what we're seeing is the 'art tip' (AT) life cycle on steroids. What is the AT life cycle? Let me explain it with the iconic art tip 'don't shade with black'
>Let's say a well respected artist made a giant book on coloring and dedicated a chapter to why you shouldn't paint with black. The reasons being, on traditional black paints don't mix well with other paints and in nature you don't often see pure black. They states you can use black only in highly stylized situations if you know what you're doing.
>A somewhat respected artist, think Deviantart front page level, reads this book and wants to share it as a Deviantart/instagram AT, but they simplify it because they'll express it as an AT not a book
- Don't use black because it doesn't blend well
- Don't use black because it doesn't look like nature
>An ametuer artist sees this and interpret it their own way. They get rid of any idea of 'why' you should do it or 'why' you shouldn't. They also exclude a 'when' you should do it. All subtlety is lost.
-Black doesn't blend well on digital
-Black looks weird as a shadow, I can't explain why, but it does
- NEVER USE BLACK TO SHADE
>The ameture AT goes viral, but because of the misconceptions this happens.
- OK, but 'random artist' shades with black! (the original book stated you could shade with black under special conditions)
- Black blends well for me in digital you're wrong (based off the bastardized version)
- I don't think it looks weird and it's been proven you're AT is wrong so my feelings are right (it doesn't matter what 'you' think. Black doesn't appear naturally as a shade unless extreme conditions occur)
> This drama repeats with every AT until everyone in the art community subconsciously or consciously know ow believe these 4 facts.
- Most people go by the assumption the art tip has to be used 24/7. Ex: "If you want to draw digitally professionally you should (interpreted as 'have to') get a tablet"
- Because of that if the AT has an exception the AT is proven wrong unless it acknowledge the exception and apologizes or explains. It is preferred to apologize. Ex: You should (have to) use a tablet for digital art [AT], "but a mouse or phone is fine" [apology] or "you can use a mouse or phone, but it's limiting" [explain].
- The [apology]/[explain] idea also carries the idea you can brute force art under horrible conditions and compare it to better ones. Ex: "some people draw good on their phone, so you can work professionally with a phone. I can brute force this. My methods don't have to change"
- Since the AT can always be debated you don't have to follow them. After seeing this play out you just get a weird 'none of this matters' feeling or a 'ha ha. the exception proves I don't have to change!'. Their is no objective truth all is debatable. It's the peak of the AT life cycle until a new AT comes in.
TL:DR
The drama was so big because of these ingrained ideas based of the fact he sued a bastardized and simplified version of the rule.
>The tip applies 24/7
>A random outlier proves it wrong
>The entitled idea that 'but it's OK if you don't' has taken over the art community and the Japanese artists didn't acknowledge this.
Anyone with half a brain could realize context matters, but everyone has to be spoonfed info. If you don't include the subtlety they wont pick up on it.
Tell me have you ever felt something like this? You want to give an art tip, but you know you'll get a 'the exception exists' response or maybe see the person take it to literal and do it 24/7 until they reject the rule entirely. the rule is eternal, but if it is fallible, and it will be fallible, it will fail, and it will fail. All that exists now is the artists ego. This was a growing problem that just finally exploded. This happened a lot on deviantarts old days it was just different because of how social media worked.

>>425976Pretty much. Especially between the two faces. When it's a stylistic choice, it's usually done over a base sketch. The problem for beginners is that they use it for the sketch, so it loses a lot of fluidity and action. And it's more than just using a choppy line, they're not building up their sketch with basics like action lines and basic shapes. They're just going right into the outline.
I tried to show an example of how it emphasizes not knowing where you're going. For longer lines, you have better luck looking at where your line is going to end. Beginners will focus on where they currently are, even with a continuous line, and be more likely to wobble and lose their shape. There will usually be a lot of erasing and overcorrection going on as well.

>>426077because digital offers you everything. save up to buy a tablet, download a free art program or pirate one, and boom, you have the entire world at your fingertips. you don't need to worry about paper types; you just open a new document and if you are really fancy, toss in a paper texture too. you don't need to think about what size brush you have or what hair it's made from, you have an entire library ready in your program and you can download plenty of great ones for free. you don't need to buy tons of art supplies, paint mediums, different shades and palettes and pencils and papers and sets, and you may not like them or even use them up to call it a worthwhile purchase. maybe you get excited because of the watercolor trend, spend X money on a Daniel Smith set because that's what youtubers use, and you don't even like it. Or maybe your paper is rubbish so that means buying 100% cotton paper. But then your brushes suck, so go buy some natural bristle brushes instead. Wait, but you also need to store these somewhere and you need room for your paints and your palette and your jars of water (more than one!) and if you use oils you need your gesso and your thinner, and you need your paper towels and actual surface to draw on.
A digital tablet solves all of this. Spend money once, won't need to spend more again. I get it. But the reason it's great for artists is that it's an affordable and easy way to recreate the art they made traditionally. It sucks because I know how much money I've thrown on supplies for various reasons, but you can't learn properly the digital way. You just don't have the means to make the proper arm motions, you won't be looking at your art but at a screen, and you won't learn how to make less mistakes later, because ctrl+z can solve your problems. Sucking at your art is the first step for everyone and if you cheat by starting digitally since you can go back and finetune without any repercussion you're not gonna learn how to not suck. You need to have physical evidence of those terrible results to help you learn how not to do it later.

>>426096I agreed with you till the point you said you can't learn properly digitally. Digital is a medium just like pencils, watercolors or paints. Ofc someone who's only used colored pencil will not be master at watercolors, same with digital but saying it stalls your growth is not something I can agree with. Tools are tools and it's how you use them. People talk so often about undo button but it's not an all saving fix. In digital you need it because your hand and eye coordination just isn't working on the same level as in traditional, especially if you don't have a screentablet. In traditional you need that one good swing to make that perfect line and in digital you need several even if you're both swinging masters. Undo is more often used to fix immediate strokes that are misplaced or wrong length and if your art is shit no amount of undo can fix that. Also the fact that you can go back and fix things can in fact help you. It doesn't take away your ability to see your mistakes. Instead it transfers that idea into "how should I fix this problem" and that's a good thing. Not only do you have a problem that you recognized but you also have to figure out the solution for fixing it, which I can tell you can teach you more than than just redrawing it, because sometimes the mistake you made is not where you think it is, which can lead to some epic eureka moments. Also you do not need copies of your work to learn, there's plenty of artist who throw their shit out and that's fine, digital copy is also fine. While I agree with you on that it's a free and cheap medium, I think you're speaking out in ignorance a lot of time. Calling digital art a cheating as if the computer is the one drawing for you is such a normie response, only a person who's never even touched a tablet would say.

>>426172NAYRT but in a way I do think digital art can hinder someone’s progress, hear me out.
This single medium suddenly gives someone access to
countless different tools, whether it be brushes/textures or what have you, you have to make a conscious decision for your colour palette to be limited (a daunting task for many) and you also don’t need to learn how to mix colours, and tracing has never been easier. It can all be extremely overwhelming for a beginner to have all of these options rather than say just a sketchbook and pencil - the former would focus on what to draw WITH whereas the latter would instead wonder WHAT to draw
Food for thought. How did you anons first learn to draw? I mean, other than childhood drawings considering that literally every child in the world enjoys drawing. What did you turn to when you started taking art seriously, and did cost play a big part in what you chose?
I started off with traditional, just used graphite for the longest time because colour intimidated me and now I can’t imagine creating artwork that doesn’t focus on colour.
No. 426211
>>426189You have a
valid point there but that's does not make it cheating like implied before nor does it stall your growth if you don't allow it. One huge problem with digital is indeed the unlimited tools you have, be it for beginner or more experienced, having all the colors and all the brushes will confuse you indeed but what you have to learn is to limit the tools and the palette yourself.
A person's growth ofc depends on their own attitude and dedication but I can say for myself that I learned a lot more digitally than I did traditionally.
I started drawing around 13-14 years old and got my first tablet about a year after that. I would start out by scanning my pics to pc and coloring them with a shitty marker brush but here's the thing. Before digital art was always like an industry thing to me or something only masters could do. I never even imagined I would do digital art, thus I never compared myself these artists. In my eyes, I was great, because the people who were better than me, were like gods in my eyes and there's no point trying to reach at a god right? Well when I started digital, I was suddenly on the same starting line as the great artists, they suddenly weren't out of my reach anymore and damn was it a blow to my ego. Not only did I see these amazing artist who I knew now, started out just like me but I saw people who were as good as me, have much cleaner colors and line-art. For me digital really did the push. I no longer wanted to just draw but I wanted to be good as well and the choice of brushes and colors was never an issue. I took the first brush I saw and drew with that till I was good enough. I learned to ink and do line-art, I learned to get rid of the chicken scratch, I learned colors and shading (though shading was my weakness for many years), I would do backgrounds and perspective. These were things I never even though of doing with pencil. With pen and paper, I was doodling, anything was fine and results barely mattered but with digital, I was truly reaching. I saw these amazing artist and they were all my competitors.
I never traced and I never even touched the other brushes till years after. Nowadays I paint, I got my few brushes, I use religiously and I do mix a lot of my own colors as well (it's easier to mix yourself, 'cause you see the colors relative to other colors). Now mixing colors digitally is more like putting down a thin layers of colors till you get the shade rather than actually mixing them but, saying you can't learn to mix digitally is not true. A lot of times the colorwheel won't give you the perfect color you're even looking for so you have to mix.
Overall I think a lot of these things come down to the way you approach things or perceive them. Digital art pushed me farther than traditional ever could have but to someone else traditional may open them a lot more door than digital. I still think it's ignorant to try to say that one medium is objectively superior to the other in term of the growth it offers.

>>426189I learned how to draw because of someone i respected that used to be my friend on steam. He'd show me his drawings and I'd sometimes show him mine, and he would give me advice. I wanted to be as good as him one day so i trained almost obsessively. Sadly we went our separate ways 10 years ago but i can't ignore that he was the very foundation of my artwork. (iirc he LOVED digital art and would often preach to me about how great it was) I started off with traditional not because of cost, but because it was just easier to bring it with you wherever you go. Even today i hate the ipad drawing trend because it feels so clunky and not as convenient as carrying around pen and paper.
I started out with wacom then got a huion (it's pretty much just a cost effective wacom), i use digital to experiment with colors. I'm not a color kind of gal, i know it's a meme that women are great with colors but i might as well be functionally colorblind. For me the fun is in how the flesh moves and interacts with one another; so i love drawing naked/partially naked people, but I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone.
In my opinion you just have to try and see what works for you.

>>426224Depends on what you use, some programs have limited stretch tools. Also I've draw with several programs, like ms paint, sai and a little bit of photoshop and for every program I take different approach. If I know I don't have the free edit, then I'm more careful during sketching but if I do have the free edit then I can be a lot more loose with what I do. These tools change your workflow but using them does not make you less skilled. If someone is an amateur and can only draw while using these tools that's their problem but an artist who cares to improve teaches themselves to work flexibly because very often a you end up in a situation where you need to use program that's not your favorite one and sometimes even switch that entirely. Same with brushes, you choose what you use. Also most artists who're no longer absolute newbies to digital art very often prefer to use 1 to 3 brushes at most. It's because it's a lot easier to control and those texture brushes don't usually even look that good in the work itself.
Stop being a fucking trad elitist. Just because newbies abuse brushes and blending modes does not mean artist who're not just hobbyist do.

>>426234i have to admit, when i tried my hand in digital art, i thought something was missing. i took two 3-month digital animation classes, which included drawing thumbnails, character sheets, storyboards, cover art, promo art, the animation itself- basically everything having to do with digital art. and when i was done, i canceled my adobe subscription and sold my tablet. my art felt empty, it felt lifeless. i had a really high grade in the class, and i was able to animate moving people fairly well (i was one of the few that didnt go the furry route), but i couldnt do it anymore. the whole ‘blood and tears for mixing paint’ thing is annoying and i hate people like that, but for me personally, i have more connection and passion in my traditional work over my time immersed in digital. it is literally just a preference thing. digital art is beautiful, and takes a SHITTON of work, but it wasnt the type of work that was rewarding to me. i enjoy not having a button that removed my mistakes. it creates the challenge i was missing while working digitally. that doesnt mean digital art was easier, just different.

>>426234Nobody here thinks digital art is "cheating" however it cuts a lot of corners that are supposed to be great news for the trads. That's literally what it was made for, to digitize trad art. Graphic designers did everything by hand. Illustrators painted on paper and canvases. The entire concept of digital art is to be faster, more efficient and better for the people who were using trad tools in the first place.
This is why I believe down to my core that you benefit from learning the old so that you master the new. Just like if you self-taught to draw the human body by drawing a circle with a cross, without going through the process of drawing the body via portraits, live studies, shading, etc, you also won't understand how to utilize what digital has to offer. Like all the artubers who reeeee about "muh art style" don't understand that style does not go above quality. And their quality sucks because they didn't learn. They think they can waltz past centuries of trad artists doing photorealism and portraits and "boring" studies and barge into the art world with a "style" they totally learned themselves.
I am on a few art groups on FB and I've seen so many questions like "I'm trying to draw like oil painting on photoshop, how does this look?" and it's so sterile and precise and… fake. And I sent them a video of someone describing exactly how to do so: by imitating what oil painting originally is about. And they didn't get it; "yes but how do you draw like oil?" well if you don't know how oil painting works from the start, how can you emulate it! And all those stylistic, cartoony styles? Well someone had to get vellum paper and ink and mangakas had to use texture sheets and buy tons of pen nibs and they had to learn realistic human anatomy and figures before they can successfully stylize it. Cyan sketches became popular for a reason, it didn't become a trend out of nowhere, because cyan scans easier. That cool raster effect? yeah, that's because printers did that organically and someone decided "hey this looks cool, I wanna recreate this digitally!" And all those people who wanna digitize watercolor? Well you won't make it look good unless you understand how watercolor works in the first place. Watercolor digital art isn't just using some splotch brushes to pretend like your paint ran a little outside of the border.
Digital art isn't cheating, it's cheaters who rely on digital. I don't subscribe to trad elitism. Nor digital elitism. I say do what works for you, but you have to learn first so that you can take steps to carve out your own niche. I saw a video of a trad artist who recently bought a cintiq and he was being very enthusiastic about a brush setting in Photoshop and made a video about it. You could clearly see how excited he was to find a tool that made his workflow faster and easier (it was a way to emulate trees in a faster and more organic way).

It’s a shame because I loved their books because of the paper and binding, and while a lot of people complain I always managed to find them for a good price, so it’s very much a letdown for them to be decreasing in quality.
Although honestly speaking I have trouble finding anything of very good quality these days, a lot of the brands I used to rely on have also taken shortcuts while maintaining high consumer price.

pic is that sketchbook, left image has heavy ink (LePen fineliner and brush) and marker (Tombow ABT brush) usage on top with watercolor pencil (general's kimberly) on bottom where i blended with a paintbrush, right image is the same page on the opposite end, where i have already begun sketching new things with no bleed, minus water warping.

for the other replies
1) it is a sketchbook. everything in it was done in under 15 mins. sometimes less. that is the point, and that is sometimes all the time i get due to my work schedule.
2) of course it looks like an anime self help book. that is where a lot of 2000s, naruto-on-cartoon-network, toonami-obsessed kids like me got their start in art. but i am trying to train out of it. kind of what a sketchbook is for. but, when you only get 15-20 mins a day sometimes to draw, old habits die hard
3) none of you talked about the paper. which is what i posted it for. can we stay on topic please? if anyone else has the same sketchook as me, and has had differing experiences, then i wont go out and get another since i bought mine back in January and am only using it now. i’m enjoying this sketchbook a lot, but if the paper quality is going down, then thats sad.

>>427010Awesome, I've got the same one then and we can compare notes:
*Water warping always happens for me, but it handles it reasonably well (it's 165 g/m2 btw)
*There's no bleed through with simple ballpoint pens, inks, or any sort of watercolor/ acrylic/ gouache
*Alcohol markers bleed through quite a lot, I use some weeb Neopiko Deleter ones that always do so I generally try to avoid them (unless I decide from the beginning that I'm going to have to glue something on the opposite page to hide the bleeding)
Yeah though, it's mostly meant for quick pencil/ pen sketches, it doesn't really claim to be anything else so there's no ripoff or anything. You can make do with other mediums as well, though, if you're careful.
No. 427022
>>427020Yeah, i was surprised how much i got away with when it comes to using those watercolor pencils. I’m not a fan of watercolor, i lean more toward markers to draw and inks to paint, but as for testing colors, it does work well. my marker set that i use for my separate works are blick brand alcohol brush markers since they are affordable, and they bleed on this paper, but my tombow pens do not. those also dont blend well, which is fine, i got them for sketching anyway.
is the spine of yours cracking down the middle? it isnt a big concern for me, i’m a little over halfway through the sketchbook so it will join my others on my bookshelf soon, but i do have a noticeable crease forming that is making the outer shell separate a bit.

Other human_AU, where Connor is an androgyne, more precisely, a genetic male, with testicular feminization syndrome.
I have long wanted to portray a handsome young man with a similar syndrome. There are many people in the world with a similar feature, but they remain invisible, the society does not accept them, as they do not fit into the binary model of the sex and gender. Sometimes even LGBT do not understand intersex people (paradox?), believing that a man should be a man in everything and a woman should be a woman (cis or trance - does not matter. People often say: "If you consider yourself a man, you cannot look like a girl or androgynous. If you are a man, then comply with accepted norms! Have big muscles, a beard, etc. "). At the same time, agenders, eunuchs and intersex people with non-binary identity go unnoticed or ridiculed, which puts pressure on their self-esteem, makes them hide and complexes.

OK art salt people sorry that we have to clog your thread with something that's not even art salt nor even salt.
my tinfoil, since one was born 1993 according to the tumblr, is that they were inspired by Haku in Naruto ; it was very popular when she was a tween and they did have a weeb phase (see gallery categories). haku is mistaken for a female and in a master-servant relationship with this older muscly ninja.
the real question is why the eunuch obsession, I am torn between sexual immaturity (not liking manly features /not having much contact with the opposite sex) and notliketheothergirlism / insecurities about their bodies.
and since they do all that fetishy thing together and one draws her sister like a eunuch, I wonder if there isn't also something weird going on between the two.

ppl who like weird perverse stuff but want to seem innocent are quite obvious (like the 'nonsexual' age regressed blonde woman we had a thread on a few months ago), she's not like that. i think she's clueless, repressed and lacking in human contact and expresses that unknowingly in her weird eunuch art, she really has no clue how it reveals something about her.

>>428209I think they admire idealized black and indian beauty but have some contradictory feelings towards the average non white.
Some more bizarro stuff, they are religious and have many depictions of angels in their gallery (and other mythological and religious creatures that fit their fetishes). They obviously sexualize angels as male but androgynous beings, it's really creepy.
>Today you can see many different images of angels, for every taste and color and in all variations. For a fantastic story, picture or film, it can be cool, new, interesting, but people began to forget the original, canonical image of angels.>Very important is the fact that the angels always appeared in the form of men, and never appeared in the guise of women. Now popular images of angels in the form of women (especially with pronounced female forms and eroticism) are not canonical and to some extent unacceptable. As in Islam, in Christianity it was even forbidden to appeal to angels in the feminine sex, consider them women, or portray them as women. They do not have a physical sex, but obviously they have male gender and male identity.> How wrong to portray the archangels in the form of women, just as it would be wrong if the Virgin Mary is portrayed as a man.Again, fair point. It's just creepy when you think about how she cares so much because of a fetish, not historical accuracy.

>>428311>>428304I'm russian and I use that site sometimes. 2000 pages are because they barely have any moderation there and every little comment and nitpick is saved forever. People are harping on every grammar mistake and shit. The main "meat" of the tread and the actual milk is heavily interspersed with shitty useless comments that serve no purpose at all.
I never really frequented their thread, but I decided to check it out and… oh well. Look at the picrelated. Peep the german and the jew. That's kinda (very) racist?
Also funny how british guy looks exactly like Tom Hiddles. No bias there.
Also yes, can confirm there IS milk, since both sisters are insufferable and argue with historians, other artists and plain people A LOT. There's also A TON of mysogyny from both of them, like incredible amounts of it written down and still posted online despite the thread documenting it all. There's also fetishization of pedophilia and incest. And incredibly badly photoshopped cosplay photos of one of them. Pretty sure all of that can be considered milk.
BUT it is all in russian and I doubt that anyone is willing to translate it all for you.
I can translate some key points, but I don't really think it would be that good since a ton of it would be without proof since they mostly use russian social media and someone who doesn't speak russian would have to use google translate (like the anon who posted the original link to holywarsoo) and google does a piss-poor job at russian.

I thought it was a known fact that angels are canonically monstrous creatures with multiple faces and eyes,
not beautiful androgynes with wings.
I think what fascinates me the most about this is how dedicated these sisters are to the notion that their fetishes are actually historically accurate.
They're simply not satisfied keeping their stuff in the realm of fantasy, and it's to the point where they'll
edit Wikipedia pages over it. This is literal revisionism based not on political ideology or religion, but
sexual pleasure. It's a form of bringing fetish to real life that I've never seen before. Like…this is peak fujoshi. I don't think it can get better than this.
No. 428336
>>428323I wouldn't even know where to start translating tbh since I'm on the 15th page out of 2000 lmao.
But the OP with general information confirms that there are actually two of them, they haven't really lived in Russia (their father is from a fairly big russian city, their mother is never confirmed as any etnicity, heavily speculated to be vietnamese since they live in Vitnam) and been pilgrims since early childhood. By the confession of one of the sisters herself they were so poor while travelling that they had to sleep in temples. Their whole family is avid rabid vegetarians and also believe in Krishna which in itself isn't bad, but russian krishnaits are known for being cultish. Their father's blog confirms it, being extremely cultish. By the admission of sisters themselves, they never attended school also and been homeschooled. It's evident since they both have extremely poor grammar at times and often mess up shit like DaVinci's name while claiming they studied art history and historical terms despite claiming to be historians.

>>428338The most recent I see is literally the last page where Deva discusses her DBH fanfiction. Where she nor only ships incest (sure, those are robots, but she makes a human au where they are actually twins) and has a fic where "Brian"(the actors
actual name so that's rpf?) is married to "Amelia" (actual actor's actual wife's name) but fucks "Gavin" (the name of the character) which she defends with violent mysogyny claiming that the homo relationship is actually true love and there's nothing wrong with cheating apparently. Also funnily enough even for fanfiction where she uses characters names from the game, she gives them the surname of the actual actor.
This all just seems kinda minor to me though tbh, russian fandoms are fucking crazy and creepy as shit, there's nothing unusual about what she does for me, though I may be forever warped by slash hell I inhabit.
She really embodies the mysogyny of most slash fans from Russia, continuosly belittling women and claiming them as inferior while fetishising femininity in guys she likes. Standart Hypocrisy 101.
There's not much of recent milk that I see besides discussing fanfiction (that website has a particular obsession with it since it all started on diary.ru, russian social media for text blogging which was since it's inception heavily populated by ficwriters and is a huge platform for fandoms still) because most of the drama on holywarsoo is about diary.ru and it's inhabitants and there's always been a ton of fandom drama.
I went only ten newest pages down though. Mostly all of it is fanfic discussion, random insta pics nitpicking and completely random fandom spergs.
Also apparently that's an androgyne Connor from Detroit. Yeah, not a woman, an androgyne.

Here she is comparing her intersex Connor to her older art of a eunuch herself.
>>428350Not really, the holywarsoo is the main hub for russian drama if it's related to art, fanfiction or just any fandom.
I'm not really involved with the drama community though. There are some anonymous confession-type pages on vk (our main social media website) about them both from the olden days, but it all too is mirrored to holywarsoo.
I don't doubt that they probably got discussed on russian 2ch, since all drama makes it to there sooner or later, but due to it's nature you can't really find any links or mentions.
I will go through the thread probably, but it's going to take a long while since my reading comprehension kinda sucks ass and it's literally full of nitpicks and other crazy fujos with milk-less comments.
>>428352I would read her fanfiction about it to get more of a clue, but it's tagged as underage twincest so no thanks?
She claims in the fic description tho that that's how a person with testicular feminization looks. Which, going by two google images I was able to find can actually be accurate.
So the andro- part is the chromosomes. I think? Maybe?(Forgive me if I may be uneducated on intersex condition since, well, I am most definitely not)

https://holywarsoo.net/viewtopic.php?pid=2272987#p2272987While I'm at witnesses stories.
Another anon says she spoke with her extensively and she fetishizes pedophilia, muslim men (actually messages them on facebook to ask if they're gay), doesn't know any languages she claims to know, doesn't have any degrees she claims to have. Anon also implies they have no birth certificates and live in the country illegally.

tbh, all this is doing is derailing the artist salt thread. i feel like if it goes on like this, the actual artist salt posters will have to make a whole new general to discuss their original topic, and once this thread hits autosage, eunuch sister posters will either A) follow and derail again, to the annoyance of everyone involved or B) branch off into a second kind of "artist salt" thread that's actually just the eunuch sisters thread under another name, all to avoid

They are talking about her unapologetically reblogging a sexist Aristotle quote from a historical film about Alexander (women are impure etc. etc.) She is confronted, spergs out it in the comments, continues to talk shit about Alexander's female romantic partners, cites someone's anecdote implying women are incapable of sacrificial love (agape), acts flabbergasted about how everyone only starts complaining when women are disrespected and no1curr about her precious eunuchs, calls people who disagreed with her trolls.
She then decides to write out a quote post (from the movie in question), changing the subject of the dialogue from "women", to "eunuchs". The comments predictably see through her trolling or ignore, she still thinks the experiment was a success.
Last post you have linked is her once again lamenting the lack of content that idolises eunuchs and depicts them how SHE wants them to look, goddamnit. Is offended by 90% of texts describing them.

People have ruined their lives with student loans and now are constantly living paycheck to paycheck despite being highly educated and can't help but feel resentful towards those who are succeeding because they can afford to.

I'm salty and that's what this thread is for. I'm sick of industry professionals in general giving out 'tips' on 'how to break into' the industry when it boils down to "tee hee! don't give up! keep applying! Network! do your best! Put yourself 'out there'!"
When in reality they already had the connections, went to the ideal school or lived in the ideal location. And then post job listings for everyone to scramble for when in reality they've probably already internally hired someone.
It's just disingenuous to think they're helping people outside of just sharing their atypical experiences.

GRABBING YOUR ATTENTION! No. 429227
>>429148Something I think you're missing is just how expensive dedicated art schools are in the US. I know people that went to Calarts and someone that taught, the school is well aware of it's reputation and the tuition reflects that. They are also very stingy with financial aid. The person I knew that went came from a wealthy family. I'm sure there were students who were taking out massive loans because their parents couldn't help them. People who don't take those loans can afford to do internships or wait a bit longer for the best job opportunity while those that did can't afford the internships or may be forced into a job that is unrelated because they need to pay off the loans fast. I don't think there would be so much animosity if the education was cheaper. State colleges unfortunately often don't have very good programs (though some certainly do).
As a broader trend people are more aware of how parental assistance factors into a person's career success. Look at the people you admire who found success at young ages and do some digging, most all of them had parental assistance in ways they rarely publicly knowledge. Things like having their rent paid for while doing internships or personal business loans are common examples. I think there was definitely a point where education was cheaper and outcomes more equitable but we don't like in those time periods anymore.

I agree she's privileged for having parents that could pay her way through art school, but she's also quite skilled (at least IMO from what you can see in her school animations) and she mentions applying to jobs on LinkedIn, which kinda goes against your whole 'she only go there through connections' spiel.
Also saying 'all networking is bad! everyone's fake!' is so unhelpful and unrealistic. Getting jobs through networking is a thing that happens in every single industry. Having someone vouch for you and know your work and ethic has value in a hiring process because it can actually matter way more than a CV (which are usually full of lies) or even a portfolio (that the person may or may not have put together alone + full of lies).

Looks like he mostly does paintings, and constantly advertises about his "happy students" who have taken his Udemy classes on anatomy and style to "master painting". I am cackling at his tutorial art tho. Every tutorial seems to be skinny girls with bimbo proportions and "sexy" in the title (ex/"How to draw sexy hips") or muscular dudebros.

>>429634He could be using pre-made backgrounds (like how Holly Brown buys backgrounds). The style is very stereotypical of low-quality capeshit, so it's not hard to find resources for. Even the characters look like they were copy-pasted from existing comics.
He's also using the typical capeshit font in the first panel, but then switches to a regular font and forgot how to properly space lettering in a balloon I guess ? The "my story" isn't centered and he starts a new line at weird points, you'd normally have a new line after a period. The balloons also change from standard balloons with a bit of weight to the outline to baby's first ellipse shape tool.
He's probably stealing bits from various comics, sticking them together and doing his own disgusting lettering where needed.

http://web.archive.org/web20180103191723/http://endofallcomic.com/It looks like he just hires other artists with actual skill to draw his comics for him when he either gets bored with it or realizes his art is straight doodoo and he doesn't have the skills to actually render it correctly.
But he doesn't credit the artists and only mentions them about twice.
So that's probably why that current comic looks like that. It's by a completely different artist.

>>429698It depends on how accessible it is to get permission to use it. Compared to musicians, it's a lot easier to ask artists permission to use their stuff and they usually have some type of TOS laid out for it. Musicians on the other hand, usually don't. Not to mention, most musicians don't mind if you use their music as background noise or something for a video.
If you're using work from an indie artist, at least credit them and if you can ask them, get permission. If you're trying to use music from someone who is like… actually famous (Evanescence, Beyonce, etc.) and has record labels and all that shit, just go ahead and use it. They make so much money they probably won't even care and those who have bad blood w/ their record labels will just say go ahead and do it.

I know we mentioned NattoSoup/Becca Hillburn before in the previous thread in terms of her art and her youtube channel, but I subscribed to her newsletter and I just kept getting these annoying, semi-conceited newsletter posts that just sounded like she was strong-arming her subscribers for money. I have a picture here of the title of one newsletter. Then the next one was called "investing in myself as an artist", which sounds alright but by the end sound like her whining about not having enough subscribers or people supporting her on her patreon.

In regards to 'big musicians already have money and don't care if you use their music so w/e' that's true, I sincerely doubt Britney Spears cares if you use her music, but the bots set up by her music label do lol.

Additionally, you can still think of things like stories you want to tell with the picture you want to draw.

It turned me off from her content (which isn't really anything to write home about in the first place) straight away. She tends to have a nasty attitude when she isn't getting her way.
As a matter of fact, isn't/wasn't she a mod for that con artist blog (helps artists with info on artist tabling) on tumblr and a mod for the artist alley international group on FB and discord? I wouldn't have guessed she was a contributor because she acts way differently when she's in those positions. She's kind of a chameleon in that I never know what she's a part of until she kind of just shows up.
She can be helpful, when she's not whining about her own shit.
I don't really know how she managed to get those kinds of positions when she's an absolute crybaby shit-talker with mediocre art, but i guess it really is all about who you know.

I think SoCraftastic is kinda retarded. She's not good at what she does but I will admit she has fun doing it. Recently she had a video where she completely fucked everything up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVdHO_BWg9A&t=561s It's a sticker maker that comes with instructions that she was unable to understand and she completely destroyed it.
Anyway, this new Jazza box is everywhere on art YT now.
The close ups on her nail gross me out. I think they're her natural nails. They're worse than Safiya Nygaard's somehow.

>>431187this 100%. i have a sketchbook that i have 1 rule for; no drawings over 20 minutes. i travel with that. then, when i get home from work, i try to work on one small illustration and finish it in about 2 days. i'm talking 8x6 inch small, and draw what you want, not what is considered 'improvement'. then, on my days off, i grab my travel sketchbook, and draw from photos, work from life, maybe take notes of projects i want to do and thumbnail those. and then, at the end of the month, i take one of my larger pieces of paper (8 1/2 x 11 or larger) and make an illustration that i work on in my free time for a few days, usually 3-4 depending on the project.
once you do that for a while, your skills start to hone, you learn what you like, and you are growing your collection on completed work. you are both making what you want, and challenging yourself to venture and try new things every once in a while.
another recommendation; if you have even a tiny bit of disposable income to buy art supplies, every couple of months, go and get something new and work exclusively with that for a week or two. expose yourself to new mediums and learn what you like. through doing this for over a year now, i've learned i hate colored pencils and watercolors, but i love alcohol markers and india inks. i've learned that i like hot press over cold press watercolor paper, what bristol brands i like.
and everything you don't use or like to use, give away to another artist. i give so many supples i dont like to my middle-school aged sister, and although she is still in her weeb 'attack on titan fan OC' phase, she at least gets to try all these supples. and she loves it.
tl;dr - art is not a shark-infested water. just jump in, eventually you wont need floaties.

>>431214Eh, if your problem is rushing then the last thing you want to do is compound that by forcing yourself to do a bunch of quick tiny drawings.
If anything, use small drawings as outlines for larger works.

I absolutely agree with that sentiment to this day.

I literally never said it was a rule, either. Just something I was told and that I agree with given my experiences. Idk why you're so offended.
If you're really a professional you know that that advice was grounded in the reality that the majority of young artists do not typically feel comfortable working on larger pieces and stick to the sketchbooks, which is limiting. Had you stuck to "a few inches" exclusively, you would never have progressed.

That said…how do y'all feel about the comic? I saw previews, like the page of Raven in the bathroom with the raven wings, which looked pretty decent. But there's so many pages that just look…sketchy and bad. Wonky anatomy like three-fingered hands, dorito chins, and weird stretched arms. And the backgrounds are just…awful sometimes. Really screwed up perspective.

No. 432312
>>432294Looks pretty amateurish, boring, the transition between panels could be better, and it has some shitty perspective. Marvel and DC need to realize that people who do pin-ups and static images aren't often that good with sequential art. Learning to do a story through images is like learning a whole new thing.
But some comic publishers just got less strict with their standards (which weren't always that great) after the 90's (especially after Liefeld). Nowadays they rather get a popular deviantart fanartist than get an artist that can actually draw comic scenes. Some comic editors used to be pretty savage during the 70's and 80's like Alex Toth (also a comic artist and he made Space Ghost), here's him critiquing the work of another artist named Steve Rude (with added commentary from Rude defending his stuff) it's pretty interesting.
>http://illdave.com/comicbooks/history/toth-critiques-rude.htmIt's why I kind of respect Kevin Wada who was asked why he didn't do interiors and just did covers and he said he sucked at them and that he wasn't interested in it. He then showed a page of him drawing a comic and it looked pretty but it was also boring and unimaginative but he also used it as an example as to why he didn't like doing comic interiors (plus he wouldn't be fast enough to hold a monthly)

Who would look at her work and go "Oh yes, this person can clearly draw a variety of body types, emotions, backgrounds, and objects!" from her same-face, giraffe necked pretty girls?

I’m still bitter about Sun Bakery, and what makes me even more bitter is that he just dropped the series once he got to the point that he actually needs to create new content for the fucking comic.

Well try thinking that when thousands of no name fucks get their lightly vield fanfiction turned into a blockbuster. Gate keeping exist for a reason. You can hate company's for their 'lowest common denominator' shit, but time and time again I see the most velmient hate of editors comes from people who know nothing about the industry or talent less fucks with egos to big to notice they need an editor.
Webcomics are picture proof some gate keeping is cruel, but needed. You know how nobody wants to be the first person to hire you, but always want to be second one? They do that because they need to know you can complete a project, but with webcomics that step is skipped and all the flakky 'I'm bored now', 'I didn't think this through', 'random cancellation' people shine through.
No. 432366
>>432312Not that there weren't shitty artist back then but there's a lot of stories about editors back then being pretty demanding and not liking things that to the average viewer probably doesn't seem like a problem but on hindsight they had good points. I also read how they also favored someone who had sloppier art and didn't draw as pretty if they were fast, and made their art dynamic and interesting over someone who just drew everything pretty but stiff and was slow as fuck. It's also really rare when comic artists can do both.
>>432341I know some webcomic artists have been hired before but they don't last. I imagine it's because Comic companies have have deadlines and it's very stressful for artists who aren't use to it or disciplined for it to maintain them.
I think it's easier for Marvel and DC to pay an non-comic artists less money than it is to pay a big name comic artist that knows how the industry works and how much to charge for their work. Both companies also have a history of fucking over artists and writers (even some of the famous ones) so it's easier for them to string in someone popular who doesn't know how the industry works for a cheaper rate. Besides they only save the big name artists for the really important comics, everyone else is for the C list characters or less important titles they think will get cancelled quickly or are low priority. It's why you see Jacquelin de Leon in an all ages Zatanna comic instead of seeing her in Batman or Justice League.
Picolo also got to do that Raven comic because his Teen Titans fanart got really popular. But in most if not all of his art the Titans are just sitting around, standing around or standing and feel more like fashion models doing photoshoots. Who knows if he's even good for action scenes which is something important when you're drawing superhero comics. My guess DC just grabbed him and Jacquelin to gauge how popular they are and to see how much their fanbase is willing to support them. If they don't sell that well they'll just stop giving them jobs. This kind of has worked for them before with artists like Stjepan Sejic.
Anyway Picolo is better off doing his own creator owned romance stuff and just doing pin-ups of superhero characters and sell them as posters, or go like Wada and just do covers. I don't think he will do well for a superhero comic especially since it's obvious his work goes down in quality. jacquelin should just fucking improve and try drawing a different face for once, but at least being in a comic will make it more obvious how much of an amature she is.

>>432366Yeah, it's clear from the comic that he's not very good at action. He lucked out in this first volume as there isn't any outright combat, only scenes of Trigon being evil and menacing people. It's mostly teen drama, which should be his forte.
But even then, there's some basic stuff that he does
badly, like people running. Image related, of a really awkward tripping scene.
I would agree that he'd be better doing covers and prints. I'm curious if his fanbase will stick around for the comics or not. Although Raven is a pretty popular character, so who knows. Maybe they'll stick with it for that fact alone.

Compare it to like, the black canary series from the same line drawn by Cara McGee, who is just a whole can of beans gone bad (I knew her, she is always rushing pages badly), it’s one of the stronger ones of the line.
Dc is pretty actively getting work from comic artist alleys now which is good/bad. I actually kind of want to see what jaqueline Deleon puts out for zatanna cuz we’re all so used to her red nose same face girls, like maybe it’ll push her more out of a comfort zone or maybe it’ll be questionable.

She says at level 4 the only way to improve is formal/informal education (implying this is college level).

>>432497I think it's different to make an art tier list in the first place because artistic progression isn't exactly linear. I've seen people who are super good at manga drawings and nothing else, anything outside their comfort zone looks bad. Or people who grasp anatomy better but their use of line or colour is abysmal. Some art is good for what it is, like 90s Disney movies are great for what they are and a photorealistic drawing of something is great in a different way.
If you were to make a tier list though, I think those '1-3' categories could be lumped into one tier as well the '4 and 5' in the next step up, and there could probably be at least 3-4 other tiers above those.

I honestly don’t know how she keeps getting comics work cuz there’s loads of artists with similar and better styles but she also does the comic con circuits so I think it’s from there.

Speaking of bad anatomy.. Anyone know Randy Adams aka Randy StarFru1t? He seems to post frequently to the popular art group I'm in on fb.
Most of his normal art isn't bad. Technical-wise, he's good at rendering color and textures (I especially like how he renders skin, even through it always looks muddy). His anatomy is so-so, but his stylization allows him to have some wiggle room. His compositions are also fairly well thought out and rendered.
But what irks me is that, aside from his normal and 'cute' art, he's got a majority of drawings like in pic related.
Every single one of his 'sexy' animu girls have these veiny exercise ball tits that extend from the collarbone, tiny pinched shoulders, round pea-sized heads, "I killed a man with a spoon" crazy eyes with camera lens irises, and some form of an ahegao-like expression and horse-teeth.
His entire Art Station account is just peppered with good art here and there, with these annoying fetish works glaring at you.
There's just something unsettling about his work…and not in a good or interesting way. I think it just goes into uncanny valley.

I didn't include ANY of his normal or "good" artwork in that image.
Hence why I said here
>>433591"He's got a majority of drawings like in pic related", meaning the crap in the previous compilation image. None of those drawings have any composition or anything original, as you said. That's 100% true. But his actual normal art DOES.
He has such potential in his normal work and I can see a lot of good things happening.. I just wish he didn't squander his talents on unhinged booby girls with fetish proportions.

>>433628If this is the best he has to offer, the overly rendered hair compared with the oddly thicc bottomed fingers in the top left makes me feel like he's using a lot of digital short cuts to hide lacking form and figure drawing skills.
Also, while there's supposed to be a highlighted area atop the lips, the way he's painted it on the top right and bottom left figures makes it look like they have glistening snot on their upper lips.
I'm sure it's "on trend" or whatever to make figures look glistening and "newly kissed", but it really just reminds me of snotty kids in kindergarten running around with runny noses.
That's
probably not what he (or anyone else) is going for kek

I have hypothyroidism, it's not fun but you just take your meds every day and get yearly blood tests and if that's normal you're fine? It doesn't have a notable effect on your day today - just a lot of people like to make a huge deal out of it. Plenty of diseases are minor.

Sick of the short sightedness and self-serving attitude of the YouTube art community. It is so fucking disingenuous to ‘review’ products that you have been sent for free - no, you can’t be objectively critical of a product when you risk biting the hand that feeds you, and by youtubers agreeing to do so companies are able to blur the lines of genuine reviews and consumers are no longer able to create as informed opinions on purchases unless they’re willing to sift through all the ads (and lets face it, majority of the audiences won’t because they’re naive teens and children who don’t know better).
Why isn’t this shit actually called out? Sorry for rant, fucked off by constantly being peddled products by YouTube artists that don’t even receive all that large an amount to sell out their audiences.

>>433628To his credit, the hair rendering here is really nice. The skin, not so much. It's corpse-like in a way that doesn't always work for the image as a whole.
>>434151The skin is alright in this, but the hair here is really underwhelming, especially compared to the above.
Neither of these artists seem to understand skin entirely, though they're both onto something. The first guy always uses form-lighting and unnatural colors, which makes everything look dead and washed out. The artist you posted has a good understanding of lighting skin, but not enough color variation, so the girl looks a little Barbie-like.
Pic related is good skin– very natural-looking. The lighting and cast shadows enhance the rendering, but there's also variation in color. Skin has numerous local values. A lot of people seem to think that the only local values in skin are the blush and the overall color, but there's a lot more to it than that.

~Pretty~ art has a massive market. But lots of people can draw it. Her professors wanted her to make something more personal, how dare they?

I get why they did it, and i started keeping my art into two separate categories (what i submitted to classes vs what i drew for myself) but there’s very much a push towards creating fine-art with a message.
Tldr; you’re out of classes Cassie, so just draw what you want now. Also, classes are helpful.

Let's be honest her, most people who spend their time browsing here aren't the most productive anyways, so the moral high ground are get annoying.
I know her art is bad, but sometimes you just have to go along with it while practicing in the spare time (idk if she does, but just saying). Personally, I have no confidence, as my standards are currently too high for me, and I know everything I produce will never match that (if I don't practice for multiple years).

>>435633? The only reason school pictures are bland are because the photographers demand that they are, most kids would rather smile.
As for the portraiture artists you’re acting as though each and everyone works based off of commission which simply isn’t true, the vast majority have the freedom to use whatever sort of reference they want or even from imagination yet they STILL insist on illustrating dead expressions for almost all of their pieces. Not at all portraiture is even realistic so references aren’t always necessary

>>435633you clearly have zero experience in selling portraits. most people that commission drawn portraits of people ask for drawings of people they know personally, with photo references. usually it is just 'take picture, make drawing of same picture'. the ones i get are of dead loved ones having a good day, living loved ones smiling for a gift of sorts, or maybe a show of love for a wedding display. they are full of emotion and depth for the person who asks for the portrait. which is the point; if someone wants a photo drawn with your 'blank smile', then it doesnt fucking matter. that photo means something to that person. commission artists make art for the commissioner, not for themselves.
please explain what a 'blank smile' is. and school pictures is a bad example. every yearbook is full of smiling faces. they arent overtly expressive because it is a catalog of who was in the certain class, not an expression of each personal story. they are memorabilia, not professional work. a better comparison would be typical senior year photo shoots, but that blows your idea out of the water since those shoots are meant to showcase the subject in celebration.
if you want to say 'i dont like smiling faces', then say you dont like smiling faces, because the art being discussed here is talking about expressions devoid of any specific emotion for commercial gain, not art specifically requested and desired. you are confusing the two.

saged for slight sperg
does anyone else look for reviews of products, and the moment someone says 'i was sent these from X company!' you instantly click away? i am trying to find a marker set that comes with more variety than my current 96-color Blick Studio set, and I was actually excited to see this video, with the thumbnail singing praises, but the instant Alice said 'Art-n-Fly sent these to me, they sponsored this video!', I clicked off. sponsored content is bought content, and if you want that cash so badly, you are going to say nothing but positives. it is why that Waffles ohuhu brush marker review was shit to me as well; she got sent that set for free. she didnt use her own money, like she did with the copics and the previous ohuhu set, and it shows. i do the same thing with movies, i'm less likely to believe a published pre-screening review than joe-schmoe on reddit. same principle here.

Btw if you have a 96 blick studio set it could be worth it to purchase other brands individually just to build on the colors you have! I have prismacolor but i bought the full set when it used to be cheaper so i can’t recommend a 5 dollar non refillable markers anymore, but you could start buying individual copics.

that bad. Michael's regularly offers 50% off coupons, where you can get a marker for $4, or a 72 marker set for $287. The Amazon prices are pretty decent, too. Once you start getting into refills, the price isn't really that bad, it's just the upfront cost that's an issue. Markers aren't really a budget friendly option in comparison to other media.

No. 437217
>>437010eh just a little bit. Not every sponsored video is a lie, but a lot of them are singing praise not because a product is good but because the general YT community doesn't know how to give or accept criticism.
Even if a product genuinely sucks, unless it's just ASS they'll probably be bombarded with comments telling them they're wrong for not liking them.
the frugral crafter does sponsored videos and i find hers to be more honest, but that is also probably bc she's older than the general YT community. A lot of older artists get sent sponsored stuff and they have more wiggle room being critical because their audiance isn't made up of children.

Speaking of markers, my family is offering to buy me a 36 set of copic ciaos for my birthday but I'm not sure which set is the most bang for my buck so I figured I'd ask here. The only markers I have already are the ciao 6 pack of skin tones and some primary colours and greys of a knock off brand.
No. 437255
>>437010This is why; While I know alot of people here don't care for her, I actually like Baylee's Marker and Paper comparison videos. It is a bit annoying that in the Marker one she constantly compares the alternatives to Copics but, I get why because Copics are really good quality markers in the end. Both videos aren't sponsored and it shows because she doesn't pat the asses of any brand and bought them all with her own money. Sure she might be biased (but every review for anything will always have somesort of bias to be fair) but, atleast she didn't have to worry about sponsorship ass kissing.
With deciding what brand of marker is best for you, it comes down to one thing and that's how frequently you'll use them. If you'll use them in practically all of your art then, it would be better to get markers that are more high quality, refillable, and replaceable nibs. If you're using them every now and then to dick around then get one time usage ones that are usually less expensive.

Okay, can we talk about this artist for a second. Everytime I try to find legit tutorials and references on Pinterest and even Google in general, her shit tutorials keep bumping in my suggestions. I would be okay if it was just that but no. In 2 years she almost hasn't improved and yet keeps making her tutorials filled with horrendous anatomy and terrible coloring. When criticized on it, she brush it off with the "muh cartoony style" excuse.
Worst part is that she gets ~650k monthly visits on her Pinterest page. Her most viewed video is at 49k views on YouTube but her channel isn't popular at all tho.
I know she's nothing compared to some other artists in this thread but holy shit the amount of beginners that follows her tutorials is enormous.

But is part of it i guess, they keep getting asked the same things over and over so they just say positive blanket statements to get people off their backs.
Like when they say "i dunno why i improved, i just draw lolz uWu" but they actually went to artschool or a mentorship or set up a routine with foundation courses. I understand it because you don´t have to give away your trade everytime someone asks but then there´s the more scummy ones that straight up lie about their age and education, so you have 30 yr old with a BA pretending to be a 16 yr old girl fishing for exceptional e-points in some fandom that she is a bit too old for.

It was very common in DA for people to lie about their age and gender , even before tumblr made it extra exceptinal with people´s profiles revolving completely around it and the pronouns and stuff in your description.
I personally know about a girl who did that, she put she was 14 in some secondary fandom profile she made that ended up becoming popular. She was was already above age and in art school, to be fair she improved a lot and actualy draws very well but she keeps lying about her age, she is in her mid 20s still passing as underage highschool girl. She doesnt pedo bait or anything and doesn´t post nsfw that i know of, just fursonas and stuff but when obviously people ask her how the hell did she improved so fast and so young she goes "i dunno lol uwu , just drawing i guess" . Yeah, the 4 years of school and foundation studies have nothing to do with it, she can´t even recommend a book to this kids that are are his fans god´s sake. Very petty.

Sure when people start to change styles, there'll be a while of "stagnation", which is less about them suddenly becoming bad at art and more about them growing more comfortable in a new style they're working on and then improving that. But wow that's a lot of time that's passed and LavenderTowne's ""improvement"" also includes chopping off one guy's hand at the bottom of the page too, which is weird.

Here is some actual art advice i've gotten from all of my professors;
feeling tired of art, want to quit or take a break? DONT. it is the worst thing you can do. instead of stopping, change your dynamic with art. get a new supply, time yourself, go outside and draw from life, do full spread studies, take a class (everyone and their brother advertises skillshare anyway), have a travel sketchbook with you, only finish drawings if you actually want to. got no money to do fancy art shit? printer paper and crayola pencils are fucking fine, just dont stop drawing. even if it is one stick figure a day. draw things you want to show people, draw things you dont want anyone to every see. draw trees, draw porn, who fucking cares, just dont take the advice of these morons and stop drawing.
unless it causes you peak physical pain, dont stop. we are surrounded by distractions, and art is a discipline. treat it like one.

>>437952When i studied engineering some people used to stick in the classroom after the class ended and just waited until another teacher came to teach the same subject in a different schedule. Even when they were teaching the same thing they all had their own way of explaining and their own way of going about it, it "clicks" much better when you see it repeated like that with different angles, there´s the factor of repetition but its also easier to get to the essence of the topic taken out the idiosincratic/personality factor of the teacher experience. One teacher´s approach may solve a doubt you got with another one´s.
It can be redundant and a bit boring but is such a good thing to do to always study one topic covered by different teachers and different books. Even when they are all good teachers and the material is good, a second and third opinion saves you so much time and self doubt in the long run. Build a lot of confidence and solidifies the knowledge, its less time going back and retrace yourself when you are practicing too. If something was hammered 3 times by 3 different people is harder you´d forget.

Does anyone else hate the style change FurryLittlePeach went through? It feels so forced and has lost a lot of the charm her artwork used to have. I know that she’s adamant about not taking inspiration from other artists and not letting it influence her own work, but I really feel like she should set aside her pride and actually take in what other artists create - it would help a lot with honing her own visual language, because this is honestly awful. It lacks personality, it isn’t endearing like children’s illustrations should be and if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve actively followed her through her style change o wouldn’t be able to recognise her new pieces as her own because they’re so radically different and don’t seem to come naturally (other than the limited palettes)

>>438339The cover of her book for a comparison in style change.

It's why I also get irritated when artists act like manufacturers are "trade secrets". It's a manufacturer. How you draw heads is not a trade secret unless you came up with a genuinely unique way of drawing them… which you probably didn't. Having gone to a university isn't a trade secret, saying you set up a routine isn't a trade secret, books you used aren't trade secrets, etc. because they aren't things YOU created.
there ain't no reason to not want to share how you got to where you are because chances are, what you did ain't a secret or something that is unique to you. it's probably a byproduct of "everyone is competition" and it's just like lmao no not everyone is competition.

No. 438584
>>438493This is gunna sound wild but concept artists tend to do that in general. they have a style that they use for doing work, it's how their work is recognizable. A lot of art styles are "generic" even the art styles of renowned painters. Stylized art, in general, allows room "for error" because they are not drawing a person in a 1:1 realistic ratio.
>reliance on directly copying other artists that already solved problems for that styleI hate to tell you but every artist copies another artist, even disney artists copy other artists. It's even encouraged among professional artists of different styles, whether it is realistic or stylized to "steal" concepts and ideas from other artists and put your own spin on them. That's how you learn from other people? Do you copy what they do?? Even renound and famous painters stole ideas, concepts, and shit from each other or other stories and artists.
It's fine to not like the guys work but just say that instead of trying to place it on style because that argument applies to literally any sort of styalized artwork and even artwork as a whole. Artwork as a whole relies on copying or "stealing" from other artists. All art styles are generic in some way, all art styles are used as a crutch in some way and all of them have their own pitfalls and perks. All artists copy from other artists or people who "solved problems" for whatever style they're using, it's how you learn and grow.
Sure his tutorials are nothing groundbreaking but they're leagues more helpful than the normal BS you find on YouTube. I would put his stuff along the lines of other professional artists on YouTube cause they often offer the same advice, just in a different way or different style and at least dedicate more than 10 minutes offering beginner level advice like uwu just practice and you'll get better uwu

Any drawfags seriously considering deleting their art blogs? I've been seriously thinking about it lately and i hate the current political climate that we're in. I'm a drawfag with an incredibly tiny following because i post sporadically now, and that is because i no longer feel safe uploading my drawings. I'm so deathly paranoid of being harassed for whitewashing, queerbaiting, homophobia, transphobia, you name it. Even completely safe drawings of my own OCs I'm scared of uploading. These are things that happened to me before on a smaller scale, and I'm scared of an immensely public escalation.
As of what i'm thinking of doing, probably going radio silent and deleting my shit (dunno if I'm gonna leave a message before i leave. My following is so small nobody will even notice to be honest) or going SUPER underground only uploading to certain discords and a secret account somewhere. I'd like to emerge sometime later but i don't know. I'd say i have a good grasp on technique but exposing my artwork to hundreds, if not thousands of people drives me mad. I already didn't interact with my fanbase because of autism.
i used to look up so much to being an e-celeb, now it fills me with paranoia and pain. Can anyone else relate? Now that some years have gone past and I've matured, I'm not sure if trying to become a big drawfag is the life for me.

>>438660Nt to mention, I don't think a lot of them care if you do fictional shit on the side. ofc there was a shitstorm in the MLP fandom but people countered that by reporting untagged shit that would come up in google search and actually fixing the issue rather than saying people can't/shouldn't draw morally questionable or gross shit.
unless you're like shad and drawing ACTUAL kids, i dont even think employers would care if you drew adult rugrats having sex because most people now have grown up with that show. Hell, Rebecca sugar did edd ed and eddy porn and disney has a vault of porn of it's characters. I don't think many employers genuinely care
Should it be what you apply with? ofc no lmao but if you just do that on the side or some other site i don't think they'll care. and a lot of showrunners and staff and shit have come out to ask people to stop harassing and getting so

no one has to be a master to offer what knowledge they have or talk about their process and every video uploaded, even by professional artists, are just promos for their own art. cause what are they gunna do? promote some work someone else did and they don't have the process for?

>>438858"those who can, do; those who can't teach"*
most artubers are doing it to get by, either because they're not capable of supporting themselves on their artistic endeavors alone, or because they fell into the production/industry side and got burnt out.
the reality of the situation is that a lot of mediocre artists need to make a living, and a lot of kids are too intimated by masters, so artubers get popular. it's nothing to be salty over, unless you're envious of an audience that cares more about wearing your skin than appreciating your work.

>>438709I actually do understand to a certain extent (similar feelings, different reasons); for me it's primarily due to the fact that I had really severe anxiety that manifested in some paranoia that people were out to get me. It wasn't even a fear of criticism, more a fear that people would hate me and want to hurt me or destroy my life. I had to pull back from a lot of social media to get to some sense of normalcy, as well as get on medication. There wasn't any real threat from others, but due to my mental health state, it felt that way. For that reason a lot of social media isn't for me.

>>438858ain't no one a master in their subject, even people that are considered the masters of art probably weren't masters in their field.
>Just call them promosEvery youtube video is a promo for their art dumbass. That applies to everyone, even people better than him lmao. They're using youtube as a way of promoting their art while also offering knowledge and teaching. it's redundant.
>>438961>Those who can do, do; those who can't teachi've always hated that quote. It's incredibly flawed in a lot of ways. your right though a lot of kids are intimidated by masters, however, on the flip side, a lot of masters aren't suited to be teachers. and the thing with teaching is that if you suck you can't even do that.
not to mention that quote is kinda condescending.
>>439075All people asked was for you to provide some evidence besides "it's animu". either provide some evidence for what he teaches being incorrect and wrong or just say you hate his art cause you hate anime instead of trying to hide it behind something like he has shit anatomy lmao.
You can tell when someone like Rae has shit anatomy cause the moment her art goes from copying a picture (and sometimes even in copying) it's flat with no sense of form or composition. When someone's art is crap you can provide an example of how or explain without relying on "it's stylized so it's a crutch because margin of error."
not to mention there isn't an art style other than probably realism that has no margin for error, but you can argue realism's crutch is that because you just copy exactly what you see from a reference photo and you get so used to making "no mistakes" you can't expand your art beyond that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>I think one of his videos is literally "just steal lol"He talks about stealing concepts, ideas, angles, how you like something drawn, etc. and just replicating it yourself, not literally stealing the art. He talks about how to "steal" properly, AKA use other artists as influences for your own art.
every professional artist has just about said something to that effect because they know art doesn't exist in a vacuum free of any outside influence and art that exists free of outside influence is usually shitty

>>439121you are the one that keeps repeating that. When i only ever spoke about the generic mediocrity of his work in particular, the point was not even about his work but him smuggly pretending to be teaching anything. If that was even the case it would also apply to all Lol artists, but it doesn´t. Pretty much every other artists that is currently working in Splash art can draw circles around his old low tier work he did and without constantly flexing and sperging about having worked for Riot in every other video in a vain attempt to impress kids with brand name.
You are free to go ahead and watch hours of that fluff and fangirl all you want. The success of those types of youtubers is giving you a fake coinfidence boost without the effort of actually learning anything. It you feel catered by it, good luck.
No. 439134
>>439113you can just say "I don't like his work that much." and move on rather than saying "His work sucks and his anatomy sucks because anime is so cheap and it's a crutch" and you already admitted having bias because you don't like or are overly critical artubers.
>>439128His old splash art (particularly Lulu and Diana) still hold up to their current standards for doing splash art. His most recent work for them was in 2016 doing concept art so it's not like it's been that long. If this was 10 years ago I'd say yeah but it's not like it's been that long.
i don't even watch his videos because i don't have an attention span to get through 30 - 40 minutes of anything. According to his artstation, Zeronis is the current senior concept artist and his work really isn't much different than KNKL's. The only different is Zero doesn't have a YouTube channel.
and some current splash artists have a similar style as him, just depends on which line because the star guardians use a similar animu style. most of the other splash artists don't even have something other than an artstation and maybe a deviantart, twitter, and Instagram and even they flex about working at Riot or have worked at Riot on their profiles.

I'll just have you know that all the responses made me think much less you and i hold little value for your taste or opinions. Cool for you that you enjoy his videos, obviusly someone is being catered by them, thats what pewdiepie type artists do but i really never cared in engaging people who consume that kind of content and think highly of it, thats obviously what my very first comment was complaining about to begin with: That its a shitty thing what gets to pass for art education and what echoes from it.

>are you a guyI wonder that about you, only men get this defensive when someone says anything about their wonky OwO waifus because "muh style, you don´t get muh style it". Every pissy response reasured me. Thanks for that. Now i think even less of mediocre "How to draw manga" youtubers pretending they can teach art.
It wasn´t even about him alone, all youtubers on that side of the site are like that, pretty much every single one are people who would not even stand out on artstation, yet do on youtube and their content is weaker than even the most basic courses.
If my point is not very clear by now, then don´t bother with derailing more, because i won´t repeat myself further either.

What would be the best choice for artists these days? Twitter seems to just be where the most obnoxious autists have taken refuge after tumblr shit itself, so I’d rather not deal with their callout culture.

>>439570this reads like someone that only really started using the broader internet in 2008. since the internet's inception, weird fetish porn has been around, including cartoon related. the most prominent memes i still makes jokes about with my friends include callbacks to lemon party, goatse, meatspin (both real and animated) two girls one cup, etc. my dad owned a LAN connection bar, where they played old games, and sometimes looked for the gross porn sites, which included the guy that died to horse cock, and, in his words 'the one forum with only unshaven pussy tentacle porn'. in the beginning, whitehouse.com was a porn website. people were putting dicks on zelda and dicks in strawberry shortcake wayyyy before the deviantart days. the reason it got big back during Rebecca Sugar's gay fanart days is because having internet became more mainstream, archive and collection profiles got big, and eventually internet became considered a public service. more people with internet at home meant more people had it in general. places like my dad's old bar werent needed and closed down. this is not new. this has been what the internet has been like since its inception. but people that have been here from the beginning know this, not the ones that had their first profiles online be myspace popularity contests.
as far as this being exposed to children, i have yet to be convinced of my opinion on the matter; if you let your child online, be their parent and actually teach them how to use it. the author at the end compares it to blindly pushing kids into a ballpit with porn on the walls they might find. although that can be an accurate comparison, there is an element missing, and that is the parents. when i post my nsfw art, i tag it, i put it behind an age gate, i do all i can to ensure that only age-appropriate eyes see my shit. it isnt my fault if little timmy fakes his age on his deviantart account, or says he is of age to get past twitter blocks. it isnt my fault if timmy steals mommy's credit card to see my paywalled patreon. it isnt my fault if the art is reposted without those restrictions without my knowledge. i am not here to parent other people's kids. if you dont want your kid seeing steven universe hypno-bimbofication-inflation-loli porn, maybe you should monitor what your kid is looking at till you are ready to cut the umbilical cord.

No. 439687
>>439570this article is so moronic.
it "calls out" artists and animators for having an adult life and dirty jokes or drawing porn but only mentions an actual sex pest like Dan once.
it ain't the job of adults to parent and protect your fucking kids. parents have to step up and do their fucking jobs adn be responsible for their kid's online experiences. Just because kids have more access to the internet doesn't mean that they should be allowed to freely roam around on it with no supervision. Stop ploppin ya kids down on YouTube, Twitter, etc. and just being like "eh this is fine" even though those sites are not specifically meant for and geared towards kids. if your kid is too young to curate their experience for themselves they're too young to be on the internet unsupervised.
it's funny how people put more emphasis on writers, animators, etc. having "child-friendly" profiles and lives, blaming and shaming them for NSFW content, etc. but putting no responsibility on parents or calling out people who have actually sexually abused and molested kids.
Animators and writers also shouldn't be expected to restrict themselves to purely to child-friendly content just because they work on a kid's show. It's like parents getting mad because teachers went out for drinks at a bar with their coworkers. your life shouldn't have to revolve around children just because you work with or on their media. even parents don't live G-rated lives and they actually have kids, why should artists be expected to?

I stopped uploading art publicly and only do it anonymously or on a private account nowadays because I've seen enough people, even with a small followerbase, be hunted down for drawing a dark-skinned character too light or using the wrong word choice due to being ESL (both real examples from recent weeks). It's gotten so insane that I'm just not comfortable sharing my stuff with a wider audience. At least give me constructive criticism I can use instead of saying "This is shit because it's a style I don't like" or "You should be driven to suicide for liking this ship". I used to be a big drawfag but now, even at the risk of sounding like a drama queen, it's too dangerous to do it under my real persona.

>>440217God looking at it closer, I didn't realise that the plane of the face in the 2019 version is COMPLETELY off. The eyes are actually very very misaligned, with the left eye being lower and bigger than the right? It doesn't even follow the tilt of the head. Not to mention the nose itself seems to be on a different axis making the entire face look really warped and weird. Sure the rendering has gotten better but god looking at it again made me realise just how messed up the face ACTUALLY is… Also those horns just look burn and smudge tooled on.
Also the collarbones are a HUGE mess in the new one. she overrendered and blended out the rest of the skin, but left the collars untouched, which seems like she just… forgot. So it just looks disjointed.
The hair, I will say, it a big improvement in the new version. Looks better. And in terms of stylisation, she can do what she wants it looks fine kinda grungey. But my god the more I look at the face the more I realise how messed up it is…….. It's just completely….. wrong. In so many ways.
