A containment thread for all the salty artfags of lotsoflovecow.farm!
- Ask about art supplies, but not too often as it will make the digital artists ree
- Discuss grievances about the art tuber community, but don’t be fooled by any that come to ask for our opinion; they will throw a shit fit because they work oh so hard and we’re oh so mean (but also we’re just haters haha :) so our opinions don’t bother them)
- Waffles may never be criticised because she has an illness and sick people cant be bullied on imageboards
- Everyone is beautiful and we are above the discussion of appearance unlike the other nonnies!
- Yes, we’re all sick of Arteza and SkillShare.
- No, this isn’t a TRA safe space, so don’t ree when you see the word tranny. And no, some retard discussing their pronouns doesn’t count as art milk, you turbo autist.

Welcome art tuber, enjoy your visit - we hope you find enough content to hit that 10 minute mark, because we are VERY empathetic to how it’s oh so hard to actually create artwork and have a personality in order to create your own content for your channel xoxo

Anons, how do you feel about Katnipp? I enjoy seeing the behind the scenes of her shop and how she works, but I can't stand the way she talks. Whenever she ends a clip and does that weird babytalk, it infuriates me. I'm also very hyper-aware of every time she says "Let's X, shall weee?"

I can't listen to her. Everything about her persona oozes 'fake'. Every time she gets to the end of a clip her voice gets real high pitched and she baby babbles and I can't stand it. I don't really like her art either. I used to watch her thinking she was a good resource, but she's way too insufferable to listen to.

I can't remember how many threads back but another anon said she tabled next to her and said she was rude and stank. Her obsession with cutsey/disney shit is pretty ick to me. I guess as an audience I don't like being talked to like I'm two years old. There was a point where Youtube kept recommending her videos to me, so I got sick of her real fast.

I don’t remember the video now but infuriated me over how she bought a MacBook to ‘complete her set/collection’ or something like that?? I remember her saying she doesn’t really need it and in many videos talks about how she has to be frugal but then goes out and buys a MacBook just because.

I used to watch Katnipp a lot at the beginning. She was quite inspiring but I feel that as soon as she got some fame she started being far more irritating. Her work ethic is great and I commend her success but she’s a pure irritant. I can’t STAND the baby talk - I unsubscribed after trying to watch the same video three times over a few days and failing.

I’ve met her in person too and got a bit of a weird/indifferent/uppity vibe from her but maybe I just read it wrong.

Also getting sick of all these girls into Disney and Harry Potter trends. I personally don’t see the appeal - I love both of those things but Disney obsession is crazy. But whatever, I’m into different shit I guess.

TLDR Katnipp grinds my gears to the point where I had to unfollow her or risk punching my phone.

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.

It's a matter of drawing from the upper arm/shoulder vs the wrist, too. Long, simple lines read better and is a matter of time vs quality of work. It's a goal.

Has anybody else noticed the density of the lines differ per artists
Now, I’m not talking about >>425688 because this post is about line length (not to be mistaken with overlying lines), but personally I notice a lot of artists use really dense lines in their work. Personally my own lines are at times barely visible to the viewer, but I find it very interesting that much of my own friends who draw, developed a different way to pressurize.

No. 425730

>>425688
Someone I know IRL got quite defensive with me when I suggested she work on her line work, it’s utter chicken scratch and I suggested very gently to aim for smoother lines and trying to get things done in one quick stroke as it would immediately make her pieces look significantly better, oh boy did it make it her go off. 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

By density do you mean the weight/darkness of the lines? I’m always really surprised when I meet heavy handed artists, one of the first things I developed as a kid who loves to draw was a quick and light stroke so I could sketch things out as soon as they come to mind and would also be able to erase easily, and this is something that came naturally so I kinda just assumed everyone who likes to draw has a light hand

Honestly a lot of artists tend to be utterly cancerous when it comes to any sort of improvement/ sharing of information

You either have the type that will stick their head in the sand and refuse to accept any way of doing things other than their own and they believe that even the mildest of criticisms are bullying

Or the type of artist that never stops studying but somehow still never gets better and they need to know all of your techniques and tools because they believe that if they can emulate you then obviously they will become as good as you

No. 425742

>>425688
I get where this artist is coming at with the lines, like “beginners” have shorter line weight a lot of times cuz the lines aren’t confident enough to pull off longe strokes like the last one. Plus the last image also has lots of variation in line weight and thickness whereas the first one has a consistently even weight that helps the perspective the hand has. Tbh I think most people who get defensive and butthurt about stuff like this need to chill and examine why one is “pro” and one is “beginner”

The whole “internet artist” culture has become cancerous and I feel bad for the guy because he’s really trying to help artists that wants to learn and improve with a help of a translator.

It seems most people are in support of the artist and a lot of the screaming toddlers have deleted their tweets but it's obviously upset her a lot (and apparently people started attacking the translator too?).

you can definitely choose to draw in a ‘scratchy’ way, even if you could theoretically make it smooth as well. of course calling something your style when it’s just lack of skill is different, but many great artists choose to draw with uneven lines and create some amazingly interesting art with it. pic related by one of my favorite artists.

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

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.

AYRT and what I meant by smooth is that the lines are a singular smooth motion, not teeny tiny scratches and it takes you 20 strokes just to draw a finger. Hers was very much the latter and not a stylistic choice (I’ve seen her struggle with drawing with her whole arm and was showing her how to loosen up her shoulder), I myself like to use very crude lines for my own pieces - but they’re still smooth lines

Pretty 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.

her drawing is definitely very confident and she often uses textured brushes. that being said, her traditional lines are often also “stiff” (obviously a conscious choice) but it works great because her shapes are so good. here’s one of her traditional sketches to compare!

because 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.

I 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.

NAYRT 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

>>426189
You 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.

I 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.

It’s not just undo. You can warp lines you already put down, you don’t need to learn technique for different stroke types/textures, just select a different brush. You can use premade shapes. You’re really fooling yourself if you think that digital art takes as much to master as traditional

Depends 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.

i 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.

Nobody 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).

No. 426357

Maybe I'm young and naive but why is there even a divide between digital and traditonal art and "which one is harder" or something? They're both just means of art. No one is being forced to use one or the other, you can use both or just one if you find that it fits your way of working better. If people want to use the "cheating" tools of digital art, let them, who fucking cares? They're only going to cheat themselves in the end when they stagnate beyond belief. If they'd prefer to for example learn how to mix their own colours with a starter set of Winsor and Newton paints, that's cool too, and it's not inherently better or harder or more pure than digital art. It's not the tool's fault that some people abuse it.

No. 426370

Digital is tool and it depends how you use it sure, but you've got to admit there is a connection between digital short cuts and newbies stagnating. Like how TwistedDisaster can churn out polished turds but when she actually draws on a piece of paper it's straight up diarrhea.

Then again look at Rae and Chloe. They use traditional and copy so much they never study so they also can't draw on their own.

People just need to study and then implement that in hours of practice in their medium of their choice. Digital just sort of allows newer artists a way to make things that look better than they would have with trendy coloring and filters.

Japanese artists are known to nuke their accounts when any sort of confrontation happens. It's just how their culture works. It's a huge deal to a Japanese artist, especially a female one, when they're called out for whatever reason because for them, it's almost impossible to get your reputation out of the mud once it's gone. And they do it over seemingly trivial shit too because that's simply how they've been raised, I can't count the amount of Japanese artists I've followed that have destroyed all tracks of their presence because someone was offended over something they drew. Especially when it's some entitled western goblin screaming at their faces about something they don't even understand why they're mad about, of course she's going to delete her account and go back to the Japanese internet.

I haven’t purchased any of the sketchbooks in a good 5+ years now, but I’ve always loved using the Cahier for sketching - EVERYTHING bleeds through to the other side now. If I compare Cahier books I bought recently to my old filled sketchbooks it even feels as though the paper has become flimsier/more brittle, it’s also a bit more sheer. 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.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that makes my own sketchbooks as well. I'm able to mix what papers I use which is nice for using different mediums.

I completely agree. I really enjoyed it the first time I did it. It's not only fun and lets you customize your sketchbook to your liking so you don't have to be stuck with just a watercolor/pencil/etc sketchbook but, gives you a variety of paper to play around and experiment with making you want to try different mediums. It makes you appreciate the craft more and in my opinion encourages you to illustrate in something you made. Ready made sketch books are fine if you don't have the time to make one but, after only binding my own once I probably won't ever buy one again.

i am currently using a Moleskines blank page sketchbook i bought in jan 2019 and have been using it actively for a few weeks. i mostly use it to pencil down ideas and thumbnail, but occasionally (usually at work during my lunch), i use pens and markers and have little to no issue. i have had no issues with bleeding at all. i also more recently have been playing with watercolor pencils for fun, and although the paper does not hold the water well and warps super easy (cause it isnt watercolor paper, of course), it does smoothly blend and make nice gradients. very much just meant for pencils and pen inks.

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.

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.

Awesome, 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.

Yeah, 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.

Loomis's books are super easy to find as free PDFs nowadays too. Actually, I would suggest finding recs for good gesture/anatomy books and then immediately seeing if there are PDFs leaked. Or you can buy physical if you want, it's just that some are pretty expensive. Dunno if someone already mentioned Love Life Drawing, but they're incredible for being a small yt channel for learning figure drawing and stuff.

The description for pic
*Full artwork.
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.

Because you don’t romanticise the rape and castration of boys unless there’s something not right with you, let alone to the point that you draw it over and over and over again. You also don’t edit wiki articles if it’s just fascination, that’s some next level tard behaviour right there

No. 428181

it seems fetishy and crooked and psychoanalytical because she sounds unaware, like when she says she wants to bring beauty back to art, which is a parroted conservative idea, and also the idealisation of the past, idk it just doesn't blend well with fapfodder eunuch fanart, it's just jarring and bizarre and I feel like something is wrong.
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.

It's a shame they can't have their own thread because this one was made to discuss art youtubers more than anybody else but these two are very fascinating to me. I wasn't even part of the original two threads, I saw them go down and I went down a rabbit hole of exploring their galleries.

I haven't seem them show being anime fans but they were VK fans and with all the crossdressing that's how they started as far as we can see. It's what they started drawing in their galleries and they quote Hizaki as inspiration to "Develv style"

https://www.deviantart.com/develv/journal/About-Develv-style-441802050

They are also obsessed with Tom Hiddleston's Loki, the (male) elfs in LOTR,…

In another some other journals they posted as a fact they don't draw women or ugly people and that they're "not fond of womankind". Even have nightmares about being women.

Samefag but I had to show this too. They have an obsession with debunking myths about Persians and eununchs that gets in a pretty uncomfortable territory even for their fans. They try very hard to prove the whiteness of Persians such as cherrypicking images and making collages.

It's true that sometimes people apply their modern lense to history and have misconceptions like every person living in africa is black, or in the middle east very dark skinned. But her "debunking" obsession is questionable to say the least and pic related

I 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.

I'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 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.

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.

The 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.

By her own admission androgynes are intersex people. So that's another group to fetishize.

Here she is comparing her intersex Connor to her older art of a eunuch herself.

Not 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.

>>428352
I 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)

Also yes, I am glad you asked, those are twins.

Also I forgot to put spoiler over tits, so… mods?
Those are male tits though technically lmao.

Also funnily enough, ficbook, the site she puts her fanfic on recently deleted her fic about androgyne Connor. Apparently, a website that tolerates the most vile shit couldn't tolerate it. The official claim is "breaking terms of service".
She put it on there again anyways under a different name.

They look like gay men to me. She doesn't do straight up porn or anything? I'm really surprised. As far as the 'testicular feminization' goes, isn't that just AIS, or CAIS? I googled and it brought up CAIS, and they're pretty much indistinguishable from women except for periods and stuff, so why choose to fetishize people with CAIS? They have 'vulvas' or whatever. I mean, you're basically into women from a visual perspective at that point.

Google translate is incredibly shit at russian though and is completly useless with most slang which both of the sisters use a lot, especially when talking about slash fiction.

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.

Their father is almost certainly tatar, he has a classic tatar name.

There's also little point distinguishing tatars from russians since most russians are some type of mixed and tatars are extremely widespread in Russia.
Also I would say that 90% of tatar don't look distinctly asian so they must have gotten the asian look from their mom.

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 triggering whoever thinks this topic shouldn't be allowed

Sorry not sorry for further derailing; another rusanon here, it's pretty much as you've described.

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.

So, what's your solution? No one should discuss it at all because you're not interested? We don't want to be here, either, we literally said this is exactly what would happen if this wasn't allowed its own thread. There's just too many of us talking about it, translating posts, commenting on stuff, and digging shit up.

There's no point in fighting about this amongst ourselves or tinfoiling about selfposts and samefagging, guys. The fact is, farmers want to talk about this, and it's to the point where it can't just be pushed into one general thread. Handing out bans for such a petty reason would be dumb, especially since this is literally the moderation team's fault for being so stubborn even after multiple people explained the situation.
It's up to the mods to fix this so that everyone can be happy.

What do y'all think about the direction mewtripled is going in so far? Good on her for working hard and sharing her experience as an artist.
There's a certain point I honestly can't relate to her though; she was going to calarts so she was already on the fast track to an animation career. Part of me gets salty because suddenly the students who have jobs are making videos on how to get into the industry like its the simplest shit.

The whole celebrity college scandal and the fact that tertiary education in America is typically reserved for the elite has given a lot of the newer generation a distrust and anger towards those who can afford to get into these prestigious universities. American kids have grown up constantly being told that going to college is the only way to become successful and now that many of us have gone that path the tides have changed and many of us can't find the jobs that we were told we'd get with hard work because older generations can't/won't retire. 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.

She was already popular from the jump, so making a video about her experience and then trying to give advice is in good faith. And nobody is discrediting her work ethic that everyone says you should have, despite having a leg-up in a number of other categories.

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.

Agreed. I’m tired of seeing industry people posting to Twitter about giving others the opportunity of landing a job with the “post your portfolio/samples here!” when they’ve already hired someone within their circle of contacts. It screams disingenuous and attention seeking to me personally.

I have a bf who works in the animation industry and he tells me constantly how cutthroat it is. It’s apparently very easy to get blacklisted which is extremely disheartening because it can happen simply if a person with authority just doesn’t like you. Or in a friend’s case, they got blacklisted for knowing their dirty secrets and terrible reputation.

Calling out the systematic problems with America is not a mob mentality. Mew is talented and I do like her work, but there are tons of other artists out there who are talented but would never get the opportunities she has had because they're poor. This system is not based on who's the best but rather how many opportunities you can buy yourself, and this is EVERY aspect of the American economy, not just art. Prestigious education loses all meaning when you can buy your way in.

Something 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.

They're being a willfully ignorant jackass. Probably a mew stan or whatever. I dont particularly care to argue with them, I'm just here to discuss salt. Fact is, she's privileged, probably didn't have to really work a job a day in her life up until now then thinks she can help people, having never had the typical experience of someone without those things that gave her a boost.

Twitter is the worst place. I never post to those "share your work/portfolio!" posts. It's a publicity stunt to get attention and follows. Everyone's fake. And you'd be a fool to think that any of this has to do with merit.

No. 429265

>>429247

While I do get what you're saying I question what would you prefer for her to do? She's just making youtube videos about her experiences and her story. She doesn't at any point say "this is universal! follow everything I say and you'll make it!" she's just saying "this is what I did and it worked, it might work for you!" which is… what everyone filming these videos on youtube does?

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).

I don't mean to sound condescending but you honestly sound so bitter and resentful @ the world it's kinda funny but also sad.

While looking for anatomy refs, I had the unfortunate event of discovering this guy who calls himself Discipleneil777 on deviantart, masterpaintingnow on insta and Learn2Draw on youtube.

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.

Going through his deviantart I would say he improved on technical skill but that's about it. His art is so…. tacky and tasteless.

He 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.

I'm the anon who found this douche.
I did some digging into what looks like his first comic (at least the first one he started linking to) with that elf character. I just kept clicking the previous button at the bottom on the actual page.
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.

Hey guys, just wanted to ask what you guys think about people who uses copyrighted music or just music without permission in their speed paints?

It's annoying af when you like the music, but the artist doesn't have it mentioned anywhere. Also kinda scummy since they're not giving credit where it's due. I don't think they always ask the musician for their permission though, and nobody really fusses about it (as long as you credit them, all the musician probably cares about is that people know who made it and where to find them)

If you wanna be safe, either use the standard YouTube stuff, ask the musician directly for permission, or just credit them in the desc. I think it goes without saying that you'll get copyright strikes if you use popular music.

It 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 especially like the part where he slips in half naked """reference"""" photos of his crusty ass bird girlfriend (spoilered just in case). The lighting and quality of all of these photos is pure shit and her awkward poses and expressions are equally horrible.
He literally formatted this book page to look like this. He legitimately put this together, looked at it, and thought "Yes this looks good." while editing the book.
These photos make me terrified.

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.
I don't know it's behaviour like this that really rubs me the wrong way. Yes, you gotta hustle, but she puts herself out there as if she's here to help everyone but in reality it always divulges into being all about her.

anyway that's my salt.

I think she’s one of those artists who are feeling left behind now since peers and stuff are getting better but she’s stuck in this comfort zone of shitty 1$ faux anime sketches and amateurish watercolors. Like, I think she would do really well as a like school art teacher in that respect and her reviews and some of her art tutorialish stuff is stronger than her art herself, but she really lacks the art hooks to keep an audience on a patreon and shit.

I'd heavily recommend you don't use anyone's music unless you've got permission from the artist OR if it's copyright free. Youtube actually has their own archive of free music you can use on your videos, all copyright/royalties fee. Just google it.

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. If you use copyrighted music odds are bots will find and strike your video, which will either take down your whole video or remove adsense.

Not worth it IMO royalties-free music is pretty shit but if you're not gonna talk during the vid then people can just mute it and listen to whatever they want. Also some music like hikeii, elijah who & bensound is decent and often royalties free.

Ntayrt, but I agree. The only ones I don't see any point in are the screencaps that are only a character's face or something else equally bland.

Even the artist linked in >>430316 has one on the link that has the really creepy red/green colour combo. The christmas lights colours that, when done right, makes things look really eerie, and that's not a lighting colour that you can go out and just study irl.

His work is fantastic tho and it doesn't look like his work is handicapped in anyway? He does plenty of fantastical scenes and weird stuff by combining references.

Even if they got a good frame the advertisement would still look weird. Webtoon comics are posted in the jpg format, webtoons are mean to small phone monitors, and the fact that artist likes the darker color range (dark monitors don't fare well in bright lights)

I'm actually surprised that comcic is as popular as it is because webtoon prefers the anime style, probably because the company is based in korea. I guess the comic would feel like a breath of fresh air with it's unique style and color pallets (it would be nice if she lightened up on the paint splatters though).

OT, I don't know why, but webtoon has the best 'so bad it's good' comics.

Nothing wrong with relying on references, people without aphantasia also need references. Being able to see things in your mind does NOT translate to being able to put it on paper. Putting together a bunch of references to create something new is a skill in it's own right.

Additionally, you can still think of things like stories you want to tell with the picture you want to draw. Aphantasia does not mean you lack creativity, just means you'll need to draw it out before you can really see it. Just try to create a clear mental story or description, write it down even. Hope that helps a bit.

Needing references is normal for most artists, especially early on. As you draw more and more, however, you'll develop some muscle memory and be able to draw certain things with less need for reference. Needing references has nothing really to do with aphantasia. Someone with aphantasia may not even need reference, they just put pen to paper, and logically know where things need to go. If they put a line down wrong the adjust it, because as they put it on paper, they are actually seeing how it looks.

Becca never struck me as a genuine person. In fact, the first time I saw her was on her youtube, but it was an entire video of her whining about how she's just not understanding why she isn't getting enough patrons/support. 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.

Feel like I'm pretty self-aware on what I like and don't like, but because I don't have the skill set to achieve what I wish I feel discouraged to continue (started drawing again). If I wanted I could lower my standard and draw simple, cute girls, which is quite IG-friendly (nothing wrong with that obviously), but that doesn't feel right. Fundamentals are important yes, but I just want to create one illustration to be proud of. However, I seem to rush a lot when doing so and it comes out terrible.

this 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.

If anything, use small drawings as outlines for larger works.

It's really not "silly" just because a small subcategory of artists specialize in the field. Now THAT is silly.

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.

Thought gotta say, she said one interesting thing about this book. She always said drawing from photos is a trade, but creating new whole world from your head requires talent, you can learn trade, but not talent. And according to her this book was more about trade.

Eh. Personally I think drawing from imagination is as skill as much as anything else related to drawing. You practice a lot, you do studies, you go out of your way to watch new pieces and brainstorm often and you're bound to get better.

Are some people naturally better at drawing from imagination? Definitely. But there's no doubt you get better at it the more you push yourself to do it.

This book kind of got me stuck in a flattening and dissecting routine in my studies and it took me forever to start building figures with actual 3-D shapes rather than just blocking in shadows, of that makes sense? I still think it’s worth picking up if you’ve never read it just cause it seemed to me like a big cultural thing in American art education.

some people are innately more talented though, are gifted a sharper eye, learn at a faster pace, and have a better chromatic feel.
that's the harsh reality, I used to think this meant I should give up but it just means I have to work twice as hard. the other piece of reality is that success comes to hard workers and not talented wankers.

NTA, how is it not a reality that some people are just better at certain things than others? Even just a predisposition to enjoy drawing more than others could translate to talent as it means you’re much more willing than others to put in the hours and actually find enjoyment in the process of practice.

This was my textbook for my art class last semester. For an absolute beginner like myself it is pretty fantastic, I learned so much! It teaches you a lot of basic stuff like composition, perspective, how to check proportions.

I think the right/left brain thing is a load of crap but it basically down to "don't over think what you are drawing, be slow and meticulous and draw what you see without second guessing proportions"

not to white knight, but she does what i do. i draw a lot in my comfort zone, but once in a while venture out into something new. she tends to go for birds, i've noticed. like the dove she turned into a dragon, this parrot, there is this well-done peacock on her instagram. she was once on a stint to draw a lot of dudes when around when spiderverse came out, she draws her dog a lot. but when your automatic muscle-memory idea is girl with pretty face, it is hard to break away from that. at least in her drawings, especially the mermay ones, she tried to get a little creative with body shapes, lineweight, and perspective. and hey, when artblock hits, just draw what you like, and she mentions artblock a LOT.

I have trouble remembering this artist back when DeviantArt was popular. She mostly did Disney art and she was actually pretty talented (her art was clearly inspired by Mary Blair, one of the first female artist who worked for Disney). But despite being a decent artist, she was a huge cunt and would often argue with people in the comment sections of her art pieces. I don’t know if she was a cow but she was insufferable enough.

There was another DA user who did Jax and Daxter art and would sperg about yaoi in the fandom. I mean, I find a lot of fujos to be obnoxious but I always thought her hate was OTT.

He was working on the Teen Titans: Raven comic, so probably a mix of having no time and being rusty with doing more illustrative work.

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

>>432294
Looks 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.htm


It'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)

I don't get it, really. It's like the people doing hiring decisions don't understand that illustration and sequential art are two different things. I guess I can sort of see why they might pick Picolo, since he has a pretty big fanbase and seems to be friendly with some people in the industry, but Jacquelin? Seems ridiculous to me. 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.

Unpopular opinion, but editors/corporate pull exist for a reason. So your favorite director didn't get their dream movie greenlit because of the company's editors and you believe all corporate pull should be abolished? 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.

Not 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.

>>432341
I 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.

Yeah, 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.

The books that Picolo and jaqueline are on for DC are pretty much one off GN’s for DC’s publishing house for the young adult crowd, not anything ongoing. I actually think picolo’s is alright, it looks consistently like what he’s good at, even this tripping scene isn’t so bad cuz he at least has a solid grasp of anatomy and volume. 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.

Oh, that video. It's basically someone with questionable taste trying to rate and organize art into 5 levels. You could defend her rating choices by saying art is subjective, but her standards a pretty low (especially in the 4-5 range). Look at this screenshot comp I have going from 1 to 5.

She says at level 4 the only way to improve is formal/informal education (implying this is college level). Level 5, the second highest level , is what calls, and I quote, "exceptionally well executed in every way". You can even take random pieces from 1-3 and switch them around without noticing.

I 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.

Like I know this is primarily bagging on YT artists but she’s pretty milky, like she had a complete twitter meltdown once when a comics writer said mayonnaise doesn’t belong in chocolate cake (???)

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.

I used to follow her on twitter cuz I knew her through friends of friends and she’s just one of those insufferable artists on twitter who really need to go outside and stop being a victim of everything. She’s kept people waiting for con commissions for years at a time and cries that she doesn’t have enough time or money for anything (she lives rent free in her family’s vacation house) but then turns around and talks about rushing art for clients last minute. Her art got popular during the heydays of tumblr and she did fandom teas, and tbh like if u think of the typical tumblr artist attitude she exemplifies it still. (I think faith is a good comparison tho, they’re both white women who got very popular with an anime/manga style)

this kind of falls apart because she draws them in two different ways it hard to compare.

I've seen so many vids like this where they draw two different settings/characters/poses whatever instead of doing what they say they're doing;the same exact drawing except with a ref the 2nd time. Maybe they realize they want to change it up or they can't find a great ref for the 1st pose, but it almost defeats the purpose if you can't easily tell where using a ref improved the original drawing. (Or where it "stifled her creativity" or something, which is the only possible negative I can think of for using refs.)

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 actually don't think anything you have shown us of his is good. The anatomy in all of them is very lacking, he has poor edge control and the concepts aren't even original (pretty sure he's reusing a concept and character by another artist). Alone none of these things is really bad but all together it just makes him out to lack in taste. Hopefully he grows past it but it seems he's only in it for drawing giant tiddy girls.

"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.

If 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.

It's not something to do with her thyroid is it?

As superraedizzle came out with having thryoid issues acting like it was a death sentence.

I remember getting really mad as she did a crying video about it, when people who vlog about having cancer aren't as melodramatic.

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.

Yeah, some of her sculpts aren't too terrible in form alone until she slaps the paint on. She seems to do much better on a miniature scale too, that or it's just harder to notice her mistakes when the sculpt is tiny. (Like that koi pond she showed off in a vid about her past sculpts once, that looked really good on camera at least). She has a lot of knowledge about different clays and tools, some about techniques, and then little to none about the form of the subject she wants to sculpt, but tbf, she's not looking to make a super detailed professional sculpt most of the time.

yes polymer clay can be sanded when it’s been cured. but tbh this clay almost looks overworked, like it wasn’t firm and was too warm from too much time in her hands rolling it out maybe, which lead to the lumps being extra obvious. honestly this sculpture is awful. she should work on nailing down the basics before going for stuff like this because it ends up looking like a kid’s project.

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).

To 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.

>>434151
The 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.

Why do people still wonder why Copics are popular, I swear there's someone asking every new thread. They're good quality markers with a wide color range, refills, replacement nibs, and are very versatile. I had a 72 set back in my first years of highschool before I sold it to get money for other things including a tablet which is what I mainly use now. While I don't use them anymore, Copics are one of the few art supplies that I think deserve the hype they get unlike something generic like Posca pens. They may be a pricey but, it pays off if you use them very frequently. If you don't use markers in the majority of your art you can get cheaper markers like Prismacolor or Windsor and Newton.

Her arrogance is paralleled only by her complete lack of self awareness. Her bad bitch attitude is most likely a mask to hide a complete lack of self esteem, and a cry for validation from retarded sycophants who are just as miserable and broken as herself. Not to mention she is a fucking hypocrite, and just because she preemptively claims it doesn't make her less of one or any less detestable to anyone with half of a functioning brain. Not to mention her art is absolutely terrible. Her video about style not being an excuse for being terrible at art is particularly chringy seeing as her "style" is simply an utter lack of skill and talent.

I don't really like her drama videos, but the ones recounting life experiences are entertaining. Maybe I'm just a softie who can't bring myself to hate the image I have in my head of a sad talentless fat girl who slips and falls on her ass in a gym changing room.

I'm not the most well versed in traditional but I like all the supplies so far, I've been playing around with them all day.

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).

There's other incidences too but I don't remember the specifics.

? 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

you 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.

I don't get it either, tbh.

They definitely drop a lot of money and you don't need to be a hardcore furfag to receive their attention but don't belittle them or their community tho. If your art is good enough, I would probably recommend drawing commissions for furries' OCs or creating multipage pornographic comics. As for where to post furry content, the only place I'm aware of is Fur Affinity. Besides there, just stick with Twitter.

So yeah, you definitely don't need to be a furry to get comms. Just have nice art and put your stuff out there + maybe search on twitter for people tweeting 'furry comms' and see what pops up.

I can understand the feeling that you may have posted something at the wrong time if you're used to seeing a certain range of engagement on your posts, although if you're concerned about it, you should just ask your audience instead of pussyfooting around it. Tumblr, as downhill as it's went, was the easiest place for this since you could just reblog a post later if it didn't get much attention the first time, whereas reposting can get annoying (and takes more time). I don't blame anyone for having trouble with social media algorithms.

Schmincke is a good brand, it's just hard to acquire in the US. Blick and Amazon charge huge markups. Unless you need your paint ASAP, I would suggest going through Jackson's. They're a UK seller, but their shipping is surprisingly reasonable, you just have to wait several weeks for your package to arrive. Do I think their Cobalt Blue Deep is worth the $33.17 Blick is selling it for? Hell no. But for $13.40 on Jackson's? Absolutely.

Personally, I've used both Schmincke Horadam watercolors and gouache and they're one of my favorite brands. Worth giving it a try imo.

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.

am i being unreasonable in believing every sponsored review is a lie? and, just because, what is your preferred marker set at a reasonable price?

No. 437012

My issue with sponsored videos is tjat I get sick of seeing 10 videos of the same product.
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. I dont like spectrum noir markers but they are refillable as well. Might be more worth it to buy individually the colors you like than another full cheap set

I’m definitely over YouTube artists seemingly being unable to have any critical thought when it comes to these sorts of things, at least doodle date seems to be calling it out in some of their more recent videos

On the flip side I do very much enjoy videos by the likes of Evebolt who is very objective and actually knowledgeable on the subject - even with paints she has received from indie creators, who I tend to see differently as they simply do not have the purchasing power that large companies have in terms of their advertising. Because that’s another issue, even for products bought a lot of the reviewing artists have absolutely nothing to offer other than ‘I like this’ - what about the pigments, lightfastness and economic value? I need more information in a review damn it!

Sage for my autistic rant, this subject fucks me off quite a bit.

right?? everyone and their brother released videos on ohuhu at the same time, everyone posted the posca videos at he same time, it is so plainly obvious to see through the bullshit.

i have a few copics (a 12 set and then individual 4 colors) and i cant justify the product for the price. they are not worth the cost at all, that is why i bought the 96 blick studio set. they are refillable and less than 300$ for the full set of 96, which is every available color atm. but what they gain in affordability, and quality for such price, they lack in color choice. i have 8 different greens, 11 browns, and 24 variants of grey, but only 1 true red, the rest being burgundy or pink. thank god they blend like magic or i'd lose my mind.

I don't necessarily mind YouTubers doing sponsored videos (as long as it's clearly labeled as such), especially if it will fund more genuine videos… But I'm not gonna trust them to give me an honest review for a product they didn't even believe in enough to buy themselves. It pisses me the fuck off when they don't admit it's sponsored though.

Best markers? There's no contest with Copics. Tbh every other marker I've tried has been mediocre at best, you get what you pay for. They're really not 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. 437141

Copics are pretty much the best both in terms of quality and range of colors but they're expensive. I'd say touch brush markers are the closest to them and they're refillable. But as the previous anon said you can blend markers together regardless of brand. So just get the colors you need from whatever brand that has it and don't worry, they will blend. There's a bit of a learning curve.

No. 437145

Idc care for sponsored vids, so I just avoid them, also really appreciate it when they put "ad" in the titles of vids 1) because they're being fully transparent about the vid's purpose and 2) I don't waste any of my time watching it thinking it's something else.

God, I wish there were more video reviews for paints, papers, etc though. I get it's not that interesting to most people unless it's a wide-range comparison between papers of different brands or something (like watercolor papers), but it would be so helpful for some of us. Whereas I can easily find around 10 different reviews for the same brand of markers. Which is awesome for those who love markers, not so much when you're looking for literally anything else. And like someone else mentioned, some of the other reviews you do find lack some of the info you want to know or they're made by beginners who can't give much of an opinion besides "it's fun to use and looks pretty".

No. 437152

I think what bothers me the most about sponsored reviews is the amount of YTers that receive mediums that they've never tried before or have very limited experience with.

How can somebody give a fair judgement on a material if they don't already know what they can (or can't) expect to be able to do with a supply?

Reviews should be there to strengthen your audience and make them informed consumers, not just to get asspats from an art supply company.

I'm very much a novice with markers, but I've found it to be a better investment to buy a large quantity of a cheaper marker (like Ohuhu) to figure out what colors I'd actually use. Once it starts to dry out, I get a copic matching that color - I think it's better for the kids who watch this stuff to realize it's better to lose out on 50 cents/marker on a color you hardly use or if you just end up not liking markers than to throw down hundreds of dollars on a set you don't even know if you'd like

eh 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.

I always say it's better to get the set that has the most skin tones in it regardless of what you're drawing which is why I got the Copic Sketch set B when I still had mine.

No. 437255

This 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.

No. 437266

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.

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.

The "problem", if you can call it that, is that the box is tailored more to beginners who want to try out some different mediums/cool pens or whatev and artists who are only now getting into traditional work and want to experiment or something like that.

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.

Absolutely, fake online personas have always been a thing. I remember things like this happening since forever. 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.

It's hard to tell improvement because it's just kind of a style change but like…… I feel even WITH a style change you should be able to see improvement, especially after so many years of working with a style!

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.

I mean she says she's still "fixing" awkward art but it's still so awkward.

I've been following this artist for a while and her painting style is really quite beautiful, but I've also noticed her anatomy is godawful. Like, terrible. It really brings down the whole piece imo. Her older work looks much better (pic related). It's so hard to look at her new pieces considering how fucked the anatomy is.

But she's young (only 18) so I hope she fixes it up soon because I can only take so much lopsided faces lol

the same people that say "you are valid if you take a break from art" are the exact same people who say "in order to get better, draw every day, no matter what!" Reality is, none of them know how to give advice, and none of them should use their platform of impressionable individuals that honor their words to spread horseshit advice.

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.

Like reading some actual good 'how to draw' books has showed me that teaching is an art in it's self.

When 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.

I don't understand these people at all. Why even try to "protect" anything? Art isn't like cooking or sales where sharing your techniques or recipes will put you at risk for losing your job. If you tell someone how to draw something or direct them to books you read that helped you, it's not like they will take the info, immediately become a pro, and steal your fandom. People forget that it takes YEARS for artists to develop. Yet, the arts community online has become so weird with Patreon, Gumroad, Skillshare, and Youtube. In the past, artists were friends. They learned from and hung out with each other. Now everybody is so hostile and so focused on making money.

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)

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

Most of the things these people consider "trade secrets" aren't even trade secrets. a trade secret is something you specifically created or came up with yourself that is genuinely unique to your creation. A blend of spices that you put together is a trade secret, a recipe you can google for cookies or oven you can buy is not.

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.

I'm only curious but what isn't shitty animu? it seems like he has a better grasp of comp, lighting, coloring, anatomy, etc. over most other artists. is there something about it that makes it shitty or is just any art you don't like shitty animu? or is just all anime inspired or themed art inherently shitty?

genuine question though cause I've heard "they just do shitty animu" for a lot of artists that don't actually have shitty work?

This 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 style


I 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

In this case, animu is just an obvious crotch.

I doubt that many employers know the exact or suggested ages of characters like frisk if they're not a part of the fandom. Unless it's the fucking Rugrats or something, I imagine that they don't take much note of the potential cp or the characters. That, and some ppl, myself included, don't really care all that much about what ppl decide to draw or write about fictional characters. Is it disgusting to think about, much less draw? Of course it is, but there are countless arguments about this kind of stuff that usually amounts to "you're oppressing people's creative freedom if you don't want anyone to draw/write hand-picked morally questionable stuff" or "as long as it's 100% fictional and not harming anyone, then it's fine."

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.

Well if you can't take the heat then it's probably best you delete your shit.

If you were to make it big there would be tons of people drooling over your work but do you seriously think it wouldn't come with a price? Any of those accusations are not as big as you think they are. I mean look at people who got harassed for supposed phobia, what did they really lose? Answer is nothing, if people harass you for nothing, others will rise to defend you, it's just whatever you got enough of a thick skin to deal withstand it.

Popularity comes with criticism and that's something you just can't avoid. The bigger your audience, the bigger the number of people with opinions on what you're doing.

If you can't handle any criticism at all then yeah, you should just delete and not bother. You could also toughen up and realize that not everyone with an opinion is out to get you. Sometimes people are just trying to educate you because, go figure, no one is born with perfect knowledge and we all learn from others as we go through life.

Nt 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 triggered over fictional ships after the shitstorm that was the voltron fandom with people accusing Josh (VA of Shiro?) of pedophilia because he shipped keith and shiro together

Dude this guy is not a fucking baylee. He can clearly draw and just because he may not be master at it (to me he seems pretty good though), doesn't mean he cannot offer valuable information to those learning. By your logic no one should teach anyone, because lets be real here, no one can perfectly master a certain subject. Also I would add to that, that people aren't idiots. Sure as you draw and learn, you probably learn a lot of wrong things that you need to unlearn later but at least you are learning and growing as an artist. Teaching someone what you know is not wrong, what makes it wrong is if the people taking the information are not smart enough to ever challenge it. Being an artist means taking in any information you can from all sources and judging yourself what to keep and what to discard. You honestly sound like you got something more personal going on here. Did you get taught wrong and now you blame that for having shitty art or where does the sand in your vagina come from?

"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.

I 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.

ain't no one a master in their subject, even people that are considered the masters of art probably weren't masters in their field.

>>438961
>Those who can do, do; those who can't teach

i'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.

>>439075
All 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

you are the one that keeps repeating that.

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.

>>439128
His 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.

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.

this 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.

tl;dr- you scream 'protect the children!', i say 'parent your children.' thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

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?

Wow you're right. I like the fact that newer one has more orange and more vibrant colors to it but that's how far that goes. The older one is just so much better in every aspect. The new style looks frankly ugly and her lips on the new one look like they could burst out from botox any minute. Every part is yelling for attention and the horns as well as the hair has both very ugly colors to them that just makes them looks muddy and weird. Just how can you regress like that?

Ugh, that pretentious 'I'm still young and learning you guys' speech at the end. I hate that stupid humble bragging - doesn't matter if you're still in your early 20s or not, you can always improve and you should.

The new one also just looks like a bimbo. Hideous

You guys seem blind to the improvements in the ‘body’ , hair, and overall lighting. The face, I think is what y’all are freaking out about because it’s actually defined/pronounced and not the same gradient all around (common beginner ‘realistic’ artist mistake)

We aren't blind we just aren't impressed that this is the improvement of two years. The face shape alone is cringeworthy bad. She should concentrate more on basic anatomy and proportion. The ear (slightly better still bad)band nose are all I see beyond some painting technique.

No. 440081

The old one has abysmal lighting, poor rendering of skin, zero movement/flow in the pose, the shading on the hair makes it look like whipped cream and there’s no thought behind the fabric. The only positive I see is a slightly more appealing face.

You shouldn’t be criticising anyone if you genuinely think that the old one is better

The new one isn't really that much better. Not for 2 years at least. The piss-colored and stark white rim lighting looks just lazy, the hands are awful etc. If you really look at it, she hasn't improved that much.
She's one of those portrait people - in 2 years time she should've had more improvement imo

I'm feeling this, don't mind the anons reeing "if you can't take the heat then get out of the frying pan you sensitive little shit". The cancel culture is absolutely real and ANYONE can become a victim of it for some stupid smallest reason because 90% of the time it's someone out to get you out of a personal grudge, jealousy or you drawing the wrong ship art. 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.

I find it amusing that you think the new one doesn’t have those all same problems. The new one like I stated before has some fucked up values especially on horns and hair but extends to the hands as well. Yes the rendering is overall better but that skin looks more like porcelain than skin. Worst is that that every area is made to stand out and there’s no harmony. You want to lead a persons gaze by putting details where it matters. In the new one, the gaze would be jumping from place to place, because everyhting stands out and not in a good way, unlike in old one that does this a lot better by lessening the details on uncrusial areas such as the neck and hand.

Is a lot of anons upset because the rendering made the product appear more digital than the original? Because that seems to be where this topic is going.

The old ones face is actually better. The lighting/definition isn’t great but the subtle shadowing looks like there’s an actual facial structure under there. The new one looks like when girls with fat cheeks slather their face in foundation to really make sure it looks flat, and then put a drag queenesque triangle streak of contour in attempts to make a cheekbone, but it just ends up looking like a shit smudge.

And what even is there to the body besides drawing the line of the collarbone? The rest is just a lazy block of orange

I love how anons can’t really say why they don’t like it besides “the head’s anatomy”… like, we’re not looking for something super realistic anons. Just say that you don’t like the style. I really want someone to red line, how the face should look, besides the obvious oval face

God 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.

I know I'm probably in the minority on this board saying this but it's really vile how people are blaming the artists and the drawings instead of people committing the actual abuse. A lot of anti-pedos going on about how we need to protect the children from all NSFW art turned out to be groomers and perverts themselves. It's especially annoying because the witch hunts are broadened to ALL NSFW artists drawing characters over 18 because "m-muh children might see it!!!". That's why my NSFW art account is private and I only accept people verified to be over 18 because the little shits can lie about their age too. I know I did when I was 14 to access porn.

Thankfully, it seems like a lot of people are agreeing with you >>440341 The artist and internet in general shouldn't be responsible for raising other people's children. That's the parents responsibility. There are so many tools embedded into web browsers and websites to curtail questionable content. Parents just have to go and use them.

There are all sorts of content blockers you can put on home routers and I think even your kids cell phone plans have parental controls but don't quote me on that last one.

You're a moron lol. The heads anatomy isn't a good enough critique for you? The eyes aren't lined up, her cheekbone is protruding off her face, the chin is so small it's laughable, the eyebrows are in the wrong place, the collarbones are physically removing themselves from her body, the hands are twice the size of her giant head and her neck is too small.

this is why i've lost so much trust and faith in the ""anti-pedo"" movement esp when they focus on calling artists pedos over drawing NSFW over BNHA or some shit or even worse targetting artists for drawing and doing NSFW even if the characters are over 18 because c-children might see it!!

ive seen so many artists and shippers called pedos over some BS only for the person who called them out on it to be a pedo themselves. it reminds me of that deku person from twitter who drew the pokemon SwSh protag saying "Don't draw porn of me I'm 12 you pedos" and come to find out he solicited nudes from minors like

I prefer the softer "paint" look on the face and the hands on the 2017 one.
The collar/shoulder part looks better on the 2019, but I can't stand the airbrush shading on it.
Especially on the horns. I don't know what it is about the look of airbrush but it cheapens it.
The only real improvement was drawing shoulders imo.

Yeah, it's the "maybe if I pretend to be against X, Y and Z, no one will be able to accuse me of being X, Y or Z" belief. There's a running joke of "male feminist" often being far worst sexist misogynist than any of the men they accuse of being sexist or misogynist.

The fact that this belief has been adopted in the online art community is hardly surprising to me but still disappointing.
