The only thing that I agree with is that simply copying what you see, although good for improving observational skills, wI'll only help you learn how to copy unless you try to other things as well (like observing a drawing and trying to draw it from a different perspective, doing gesture drawings or breaking down what you're viewing into smaller 3D shapes)

I don’t know why this bothers me so much, but I hate it when Youtubers don't research the basics of what they're making a video about.
>Doesn’t know that you’re supposed to wipe the brush of the nail polish on the lip of the bottle before applying
>Applies very gloopy blobs of nail polish to the nail, until she realizes you’re not supposed to use that much
>Doesn’t know what a latex peel is or how to properly use one, despite SimplyNailogical using one in almost every nail tutorial she’s ever done
>Doesn’t know what linear holo is, despite SimplyNailogical having a video dedicated to teaching everyone the different kinds of holos
>Buys a bunch of nail-related products without doing any research as to what she’ll need or what size she’ll need it in
>Doesn't know what cuticle pushing even is
>Decorates fake nails while wearing them, instead of decorating them off of her so she doesn't have to worry about resin getting on her skin
>Uses resin and not the Holo Rainbow nail polish???
>Asks her audience to be patient and educate her, despite there being hundreds of good nail tutorials she can watch that would only take a few minutes
This problem happens a lot in DrawwithJazza videos a lot, too, where he won’t research the material he’s working with at all (ex. watercolor markers). I understand that they’re probably more kinesthetic learners, but I don’t understand why people don’t research the fundamentals of what they’re doing. It’s not like it would take hours upon hours of time.

For someone who claims to be all about doing hands-on crafts, she has the fine motor skills of a walrus.

Also, I think what separates the good from the bad art youtubers is fundamentals. A lot of fundamental colour and skill knowledge translates across many mediums, making it easier to be good at many things. Whereas a lot of arttubers tend to only learn about knowledge specific to their preferred medium, so they're clueless when it comes to literally anything else.

I need to say that the "stop drawing anime/cartoons" is often misguided and comes from a place of personal spite. A ton of manga artists are fucking pros with their fundies and draw plenty of photorealistic stuff for practice while preferring to keep their personal style cartoonish but a lot of salty art snobs present it as "stop drawing stylized content altogether".

However I don't understand why she thinks "learn the rules before you break them" is bad advice. It makes no sense. Her reasoning is that "your art becomes stiff uwu" but this literally does not happen, if you learn stylization before fundamentals your art looks uncanny, muddy and repetitive because you don't know how to play with possibilities or how to replicate the things that people find engaging in real life.

I don't want to get into the history of the term "yaoi" and how many gay japanese males absolutely despise the term but, her issue is she absolutely refuses to admit when she's wrong. It's always "I'm not changing my stance uwuwuwuwu" The Kimba thing, Shane and Gabbie thing, and now this? She just refuses to admit she's wrong and hides it behind the retarded excuse of "Oh I have BPD and it's bad for me to dwell on it" When she's constantly posting shitty hot takes and acts surprised when people retort with their opposing viewpoints.

lol Many artists are hypocrites when it comes to the great price debate because unless they're at the top they'll get pissed off at people who can get away with charging more for less skilled art.

I've even seen people at the supposed "top" whine about smaller artists' prices for their art while arguing that it's still too much for how ugly it is. It's a neverending cycle.

Nobody wants to admit that pricing art is difficult and inconsistent because it's purely how much your buyer is willing to value it at.

I read a long and indepth post on Tumblr a few years ago that had plenty of articles and links talking about how the lgbt+ community in Japan feel about Yaoi and yuri but, it was like 5 years ago so I won't be able to find it sorry. There's quite a few a few articles you can find explaining how yaoi was originally created for women by women and how alot of the tropes (feminization, lack of consent, and more) are considered distasteful by actual gay men. Bara is created by gay men for gay men and thus is widely more accepted. Tobi unsurprisingly, said in one of her replies that she doesn't like Bara. Probably because she can't fetishize big muscular men like she can skinny twinks.

That makes sense, IMO. She's a woman, so it figures she'd be into erotica made by/for her demographic. I've never seen this kind of backlash toward lesbian porn, even though we all know it's made for men (yuri is kind of a different story, since it was at least pioneered by female authors IIRC). Yaoi seems very far removed from the lives, appearances and experiences of most actual gay men. It's just romance and JO material for girls who feel weird self-inserting on other girls (which is probably why most of the characters look like tall, skinny girls with dicks and big hands - similar and feminine enough to be relatable to a female viewer, but with a few inoffensive, sort-of-masculine traits to not be too close for comfort). Anyone who'd use it (or really any porn) to educate themselves on homosexuality is a dumbass.
After seeing her Tweets, she's pretty obnoxious, though.

>>590346
>bruh I read this on tumblr like 5 years ago and it totally had gay japanese men saying it's so problematic I swear
Yeah and I've seen multiple Japanese gay people say that they don't give a fuck and fujos are the least of their problems. If you've ever followed gay male artists you'll know the content they created is miles more "problematic" and "distasteful", guys be nutting over rape and smut like nobody's business. But heaven forbid if women created anything sexual for themselves.

Yes I'm sperging out but this gets brought up here at least once a week or so and I'm fucking sick of people who aren't at all familiar with the genre, its purpose or its history acting like BL is some epitome of rape porn fetishizing homosexuality and constantly moving the goalposts for the artists by being outright dishonest by drawing false equals to lesbian porn made for men. And I'm especially sick of people acting like the "gay men" being "offended" by BL aren't just Hannah and Sarah identifying as Julian and Oliver being mad that someone on Twitter shipped their kinnies with a character they don't like.

No. 590485

You guys are such soccer mom purists. Also using “real gay men” as proof to prove your morality on why people can’t enjoy a genre is real fucking weak.

If comics upset you, shouldn’t you equally fight against harmful okama stereotypes that are prevalent in higher media like movie, novels, etc?

Yuri has a predominantly male fandom so trying to cancel them would be pointless as men would just laugh your ass off the planet and they know it. I wish women weren't so conditioned and expected to be docile and compromising because just for once I'd just like to tell a retarded fandom police off without being hung from a cross. It's not like there's a massive epidemic of horny straight fujos demanding gay people to let them into their bedrooms (no, that one yaoi fangirl horror story you read from /cgl/ is not a widespread issue) because that's not what BL is about, unlike lesbian porn made for men which is all about performing for a straight male to the point lesbian couples are constantly harassed by even normie men who want to see them make out.

What really ticks me off though is that a woman who starts drawing beautiful men being sexual gets first screeched at by straight men, and then by pearl-clutching fellow women who want to drag the crab back in the bucket because they thought ruining someone's life over drawing anime guys kissing shirtless was the woke thing to do. All the while watching male NSFW artists being made out of fucking teflon, not getting cancelled no matter what sick shit they draw. It's really no wonder so many fujos trooned out and identify as ~literally gay men~ now, you really need to have that M in your passport to be free to embrace your sexual autonomy.

I just got finished browsing a thread on Twitter where folks were saying that you should charge 200 dollars for commissions.

People were like "bRuH nO oNe wiLL pAy tHaT mUcH fOr mY aRt" and it's like no shit, this message is intended for people who are actually good at art, not shitty Sai paintings.

I'm not an artist (I give up too easily) but I do a few art study classes and am a perfectionist. Something about people with really shitty drawings spamming their art in threads about increasing commission prices really fucks me up.

Their art is not anywhere near the conversation for raising prices.

Of course it is. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. The more one throws these stones, so to speak, the more clear it becomes that they're motivated to do so out of a desire to hide something.

Honestly, I question people who get up in arms and emotionally distraught, almost performatively, over drawings of fictional characters in the first place. Disliking it or finding it in bad taste is one thing, because you're an adult and can realize that if you don't like something, you're not obliged in any way to look at it or engage with it. But waking up and getting on Twitter every single day to preach your perceived moral superiority to your followers, rambling about how disgusting the media you don't like is and how you're too ~pure~ to engage with such vile things, seems rooted in denial or refusal of something.

NTA, but it's more than just that. Not only did they copy the one pose, they basically did the exact same image, just reskinned. And admitted to using it as a "reference".

pic related

It's one thing to do a similar pose, but they admitted to using another artist's picture as a "reference" (they traced it).

Additionally, they were talking shit about the original artist and their fans were as well. They did a fake apology and basically laughed about it.

Regardless of what you do, it's just a general shitty thing to trace over someone else's art and then lie about not knowing the original artist.

Its been a while since I've seen this strong of a case of brainrot. Overlay the pictures, its not even close to being traced. Yes its the same concept going on in both pictures, because one took inspiration from the other, but these are not the same poses (theyre doing similar things in both pictures, yes, but thats not the same poses. the way theyre sitting, holding their arms, their body language, etc is not at all the same), not similar characters, not traced.

Regardless of whether or not you consider it tracing, other people do, including the original artist and that's where the drama is stirred.

Don't shoot tha fuckin messenger

Btw, if someone did the same thing with my art I'd have a major issue with it, even if it was "similar but not traced".

They said they used a reference but NEVER actually tagged the original artist, which is kinda fucked no? I think that's more of the issue than using it as a reference.

Artists want exposure and if someone replicates your style and poses and concept, and then says "oh btw used a reference teehee if you know who they are let me know" rather than actually just finding the source, it's pretty upsetting I'm sure.

My main issue while looking at this drama yesterday was exactly that, I’d be pissed if some 100k follower random did a work inspired by mine and reposted my art it in the replies with no credits and the caption “i used this as reference but idk who the artist is haha”. That’s basically the same as instagram reposters going “credit to whoever drew this”.

Either don’t repost my art and keep your inspirations secret, or take the time to find the original post and credit it properly, specially if you have over 100k followers. The actual art itself wasn’t that close to the original in terms of pose and lighting but I understand why the korean artist is pissed off about the whole thing. Vinne’s smug two faced attitude afterwards didn’t help.

Link because the thread is too long to post a bunch of pics and clog up the thread. Turns out they've traced from (stock?) photos. Whether or not tracing from photos is an egregious crime worse than tracing from art is up to the individual but, I think the whole way she responded was pretty immature. It's obvious she used the other art as reference and unlike stock photos, I think if you're using others' art as a reference so much to the point where people can literally point it out, it's a little too similar.

Idk, while I agree with the other poster that it's very likely those protesting gay men are actually fujo FtMs (who actually fetishize being gay, I know some): gay men coming after porn for women by women would be just dumb when in the larger popular culture pretty much all "accepted" and more mainstream porn and erotics is catering to men. Yes it's mostly for straight men but like even in the art world you'll have plenty of gay male content before you'll get to erotic depictions of men (or also women) made by women for a female audience. That's still pretty much anathema. But god forbid women have sexual desires of their own and express their fantasies without at least being ashamed of what they like! There's lots of misogynist gay men out there and I honestly don't give any fucks about their opinions.

This confuses me, because in 99% of anime, young characters are typically already sexualized, canonically. Things are often deliberately designed and written so viewers (most of which are intended to be teenage boys, hopefully) will be attracted to the young characters. This is official BNHA art.
Anime otaku culture has a disturbing fascination with youth, sad to say, and anime producers usually purposely pander to it. Whoever made this is refusing to look at the bigger picture, ie the source material. The sexual responses we're seeing from fans were deliberately mined by the creators, it's not a misinterpretation or a mistake. In fact, it shows more restraint and at least a small bit of decency for artists to age up minor characters before drawing sexual content of them, IMO.

The logical takeaway is to not support anime in general to avoid this problem, or to say "If you're above 17 and watching anime, you're a fucking creep", but no one will actually follow that for obvious reasons. I think the only real way to tackle this issue is to just "cancel" most mainstream anime in favor of the few non-sexualized shows, but that's far more difficult to pull off, and probably won't happen. It's like this person is basically trying to have their cake and eat it too.

Bingo. It's entirely based on the same evangelist ideas of "purity" that've been used to oppress and marginalize groups (particularly women, and especially bisexual and lesbian women) for centuries, as well as on the idea that the media's creators and consumers are intellectually incapable of separating fiction from reality (hence why women and young people are primary targets - societies that perpetuate these ideas already believe that women and young people are inferior and must be infantilized and desexualized in order to protect them.) Suggesting "but if a young stumbles upon (piece of media), they're going to commit (act) in real life!" is as asinine as suggesting "but if a young person plays a video game in which the protagonist uses a gun, they're going to commit a shooting in real life!"

IMO, people who have that much of a problem with the grosser aspects of anime culture should just dip out of it and support content that actually fits their ideals.

It's really no wonder Japanese artists are fed up with westerners, I'd be too if I constantly had to deal with wokesters who look at everything through a microscope to find anything that could possibly be problematic and demand Japanese creators to write everything from an American cultural context point of view. It's just re-packaged cultural colonialism and nothing else.

Now I need to recount some history. Back in the day a lot of Disney (which I'm using as an example because they're the colossal, monolithic animation company in the west) animators wanted to explore different subject matters and the creative differences made a bunch of talented animators quit. See Don Bluth and how he took people with him to create his own studio in the late 70's. Afterwards Disney fell into the fairy tale musical standard to keep their content marketable and easy to sell. Anime studios used to do family-friendly films similar to what Disney had been working on, but in the 60's, parallel to what happened in the west, workers fought tooth and nail to gain more artistic control over what they could do and created an entire industry with varying stories for different topics, settings and characters.

Even though the anime industry has big issues with exploiting animator labor they still have established a genre where you could create movies and series about pretty much anything you want, whereas Disney would boot your ass out the second you offered a script with even slightly controversial scenes or stories. If you had once gained this artistic freedom by fighting for it you sure as hell don't want to give it up in front of some foreigners who got their feewings huwt because anything more challenging than a singing CGI princess makes them scared. Makoto Shinkai's recent movies are pretty family friendly and international successes but I very much doubt Disney would've allowed his vision to fly if they were produced under their supervision. There's no way in hell they could've allowed a teenage boy pointing a gun at the police or getting beat up by a mobster.

Anyway with something like >>590750 it's sort of debatable if it's "stealing" per se because it's just a concept that's borrowed but the setting, characters, art style etc. are completely different. It's like two people participating in an art meme. That's what you can call being inspired by an idea.

It's a shame that western artists have become so dull, cancelling everything that doesn't comply to their moral high standars . We still get good stuff like Feral and that Dr Zeus Netflix show but it's very little compared to the amount of flash garbage we get every year.

Wouldn't this be considered inspiration though. It's not like it's directly ripped or traced. The same concept & colouring doesn't equal stolen. There should have been credit given for the inspiration, but artists are still allowed to sell work that is heavily inspired by others since it's still their own work even if it's unoriginal and derivative.

Why do I need to care about what a minor thinks about porn? Again, it's not made for you or with you in mind. No one cares about your opinion on something you're not allowed to see in the first place, and likely squirmed into adult spaces to see. Go do something else, you literal fucking toddler.

Yeah uh what the fuck are these kids doing watching porn? Most NSFW artists have a NSFW warning and tag their work accordingly, majority of them are now even blocking minors who follow them. Twitter is also quick to tag sensitive content and afaik you actually have to tag your account to contain their automatic content warnings which means you have to enable seeing the content manually by yourself. These little shits are so entitled they think they get to force adult content to cater to their needs and preferences when they have no business in their spaces.

Black Cauldron was a massive flop for Disney, it was tremendously expensive to make and went through a developmental hell where for example Katzenberg would order 12 minutes to be cut and plenty of scenes rewritten because they were deemed too scary for children, which rendered it a mediocre movie not sparking much interest in the audience because it was marketed as a fun light-hearted fantasy adventure instead of what it actually was. During its production Eisner replaced Ron Miller as the CEO of the Disney Company and he was the one who ultimately cemented the "we don't make art, we make money" ideal shortly after Black Cauldron, and that's what Disney still goes by today. Little Mermaid was such a huge fucking success that they kept the formula for decades to come and they're never going to deviate from it again. They sort of tried again with the Hunchback of Notre Dame and it failed too (again, they marketed it as a funny kids' movie) so that was that.

It's a shame because as a kid I was enchanted by the Black Cauldron, exactly because it was dark and different from the usual Disney candy I was fed. It's not a good movie but the fact that Disney once made an attempt at dark fantasy carries it alone.

We can debate until kingdom come whether it's ok to post gross shit with minor characters, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. I remember there was a big stink on tumblr because people started reporting ao3 to the FBI for child porn, even though it's fucking fanfiction. The might have endangered actual children in the process because their database got so clogged up with bullshit reports. Not to mention there are trauama victims who use art as therapy, and they get harrassed as well. If they were halfway as dedicated to protecting actual children than some imaginary ones, they'd actually make a difference.

This. It got so bad that one of these organizations had to make a tweet telling people to stop with the fabricated reports because having to investigate them took resources off from trying to sort out actual child porn rings. It was mentioned in another thread that legitimate child abusers are most certainly not hard to find online and if they actually gave a shit outside of social media clout they would go after them. Literally all you have to do is to pretend to be a 12-year old girl and make an instagram profile, you'll soon enough encounter massive amounts of adult men trying to talk about sex with you. But these fucking clowns in the Twittersphere instead decide to cancel people over MHA ship art or other ridiculous shit like that and sleep their nights well thinking they're the most virtuous vigilantes ever.

I think disney really shines when they do unconventional work, and let their artists really experiment. The Disney Renaissance was pretty much only successful because of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who basically created the musical animation format disney runs by today. The reason they were all successful was because of the musical theatre style, and that ended when Tarzan came out. It's a shame, because modern disney is a slog fest. There are movies that stand out, but it's clear that as long as they make money they don't care. I'm also perpetually confused by disney simply because they've become a monopoly and I always forget which studios are subsidiaries.

It's also a case of they aren't actually minors first of all. They're pictures on a screen or in a book. Also, the whole point of art and media is to be able to live through characters and empathize with them. Teenagers think about sex, they have sex, they watch porn, and all of those adults were teenagers at some point and still heavily relate to that part of their life, since it's a defining period of growth. The idea that once you hit your 20's you're completely cut off emotionally from being a teenager/young person is so stupid. Why is it that so many of these YA romance books are written by middle-aged women?

The issue with this ageing up stupidity is that it frames sex in this disgusting light, when it's just a natural part of existing, and it makes it seem like canon is this set in stone thing that you can't change for your evil pornographic material. It also jsut makes no sense because even though those character might not be adults now in canon, they will be eventually in the story so???

Anime, like any creative medium, gets fucked over the moment "Will this sell?" becomes an important topic, and that's how it's been for a while.

What do you base this on anyway? Of course mainstream media will always pander to the ones who have the money.

Indie art house projects that are created to be someone's vision instead of making money are an entirely different issue.

This. Also the fact that victims of abuse and autistic people both tend to develop at a stunted rate compared to those that aren’t. That is to say, a lot of them are either halted in arrested development at a young age or never had a normal relationship to being a teenager in the first place due to social and emotional hinderances. They can explore a “normal” teenage life through fiction, one they didn’t formerly have. Sage for a bit of blog posting but I’m an autistic women in my young 20s, as a teenager I felt like I was more of a child (as in socially and mentally stagnated in my childhood) and I never experienced teenage love, sex, parties, or even friendship. Now that I’ve aged, I feel mentally indistinguishable from teenagers, but I’m still quite different from irl teenagers by proxy of being an adult with autism, I would never even want to interact with real teenagers. But, exploring a fictional relationship with a character like, say, Zuko from ATLA allows me to explore the teenage hood I never had, it puts me in that mindset of exploring a summer love that I never had and felt was an experience most girls my age lived through. It gives me an understanding of their experience and makes me believe that I could have had a shred of normalcy too. For abuse victims, it may be the same. People think that they’re re-exposing themselves to trauma as therapy, but it’s really the same kind of thinking as this. Many abuse victims become sexually, romantically, and psychologically stunted due to what happened to them and they never developed healthy relationships or normal teenage experimentation so they’re trying to live some of that now when they’re in a safer place to explore it, with a safe and isolated means to do so.

This is such a subjective thing, but if you have Netflix you can jump right in and watch Devilman Crybaby - it's a bit stylized visually, the story is very good although depressing.

Obviously all of the Ghibli movies are fantastic choice for a feel good, good story, beautiful experience; something I would recommend especially is Ponyo and Princess Mononoke.
There's also Mononoke anime series - different thing than Princess Mononoke - very beautiful, deals with japanese mythology if you're into this kind of stuff.

Looks painted to me, additionally artist is posting videos of her process so there's no doubt really.

Its drawwithjoo and I believe the main reason why she has a huge following is because she lets everyone use her OC as a chance to get clout and can be easily used for same said clout. Uwu art twitter community right now is nothing but a huge amount of ass kissers who are becoming "friends" and gaining popularity by drawing OCs of these artists that for soke reason have huge following. And people who seeif the ass kisser gets some clout too, they start drawing the OC of ass kisser as well, in a meantime trying to become "friends" and the cycle continiues. Drawwithjoo is "art streamer" btw.

Pic related is chibi style that she draws. Also charges over 20$ for twitch emotes with same style.

it's what happens when people make a point to draw body types as varied as possible (which is fine)…without knowing any anatomy rules. characters end up more deformed than intended.
i was friends with an "ugly fatty" who'd draw unattractive characters on purpose but they didn't have a good grasp on anatomy and based everything on themselves. so they ended up with "tall and lanky" characters that looked average height and chunky, because they didn't know thin people have defined wrists, ankles and collarbones. their fat/chunky/muscular etc characters looked like small vans because they could only draw in obese proportions.

If you want a really good watercolour for professional use, I really recommend saving up and buying Sennelier watercolour tubes. They are a honey based paint and They are wonderful for layering, have great pigmentation and They are easily the best watercolours I have ever used.

I'm finally buying a screen tablet and want to know the best for what I'm doing. I do illustrations and comics and want to use CSP and SAI. Is buying the Cintiq Pro worth it? Anons that have used them, do they have a million driver issues and does the touch screen work just like the iPad pro or is it better/worse?

Is XP pen or Huion Kamvas a good alternative? I keep hearing they are good at first but start having issues around a year in. Idk…its a big purchase so I want to be sure you know? Any anons experience with newer models of screen tablets would be helpful.

As for the iPad pro I have used it and liked it okay but that was the first gen (I'm not a fan of drawing on apps) has anyone found the newest versions of the iPad to be different and more innovative? Not knocking them they are good but I hate drawing on glass and in apps.

Lol at the radfem defense of "proud yaoists"

But-but men draw gross shit all the time and aren't crucified!! Yeah because they can admit rape is bad and still enjoy the porn.

Yaoists claim it is peak romance. Had a fujo coworker try to convince me 12 year old boys can consent after detailing her favorite Naruto Sasuke romance fic to me. They are exactly what fujoshi means in Japanese. Rotten women.

Bara is also porny the non porn romance comics are called geicomi. In addition, gay (trigger warning for Karen) cis men in Japan are targeted and harassed by women for even drawing and publishing yaoi. It is a female owned space and men aren't welcome. It has nothing to with actual mlm romance and everything to do with porn that fetishizes concepts of homosexuality thought up by straight women that get informed through stereotypes. Yaoi began as women being allowed to create porn for themselves when the sexist industry did not allow it so they made the woman a man and called it gay to fly under censors (I am not making that up lol Google is free)

Is this bait? They know rape is bad, yet they do it the most in real life??
t. not a fujo, in fact I watch only gross straight porn/hentai because I hate myself and I can assure you the "women secretly enjoy rape" trope is omnipresent in it

>Yaoi began as women being allowed to create porn for themselves when the sexist industry did not allow it so they made the woman a man and called it gay to fly under censors (I am not making that up lol Google is free)

So you're saying homosexuality was more accepted than a woman drawing/writing straight porn in Japan, to the point women would change her work to represent an entirely different sexuality?
I'm curious about this because it doesn't make any sense to me, but I seriously can't find any information about it googling the origins of yaoi etc. Actually I've only heard the opposite i.e. fujos making 1 of the guys more feminine so they can pass it off as straight to publishers.

I'm by no means an expert on this but last I checked japanese censorship covered penises as well as vulvas. Afaik one strand of m/m porn is oldschool shoujo manga somebody mentioned which was focusing on more chaste romantic relationships where I don't know enough about to say why they picked boys (if it was due to censorship… was romance seriously not a subject of shoujo manga before that?) But I think there's also a development strand that is mostly parody manga. That one has to do with women reading and watching media intended for a male audience like shounen manga which usually has the key development relationships happening between boys and men (like the aforementioned Sasuke and Naruto). I think it's probably similar to the origins of slash fanfictions in the US in the 70ies which was basically also women extending intense relationship between men into sexual actions because it's interesting and hot to them. Which is pretty much still going on today because lots of mass media focus on men and their relationships. (Especially professional relationships which might be particularly interesting to women who entered the workforce more and more at that time.)

Is tracing really that bad? Not tracing someone else’s art, but if you need to get a general pose or face proportions right, isn't that okay. As long as it’s not a carbon copy.

no there was no censorship for straight romance at all. shounen ai and shoujo ai is an aesthetic, it's what most japanese anime fans will tell you and it was mostly drawn by women because in 70s men were drawing some weird gore porny shit for boys like go nagai that raised a generation of today's heads of anime industry.

I just about missed the Validate hate train, but I feel that the creators are especially stretching it with some of these Asian ethnicities they've slapped on a few of these characters. Like, this dude looks about as Chinese as the name Isabelle Morrigan sounds Spanish. Would actual East Asian looking characters not be woke enough for this kind of game?
And the ones that actually do look their ethnicity of course fall into the most regressive stereotyping imaginable. Wow, how groundbreaking - a southeast Asian ladyboy and a hairy Pakistani girl. "Progessive" artists like this usually aren't actually that informed at all of different cultures because they rarely leave their American suburban neighborhoods, so I get the feeling that these little flags were added to the characters' bios for some extra brownie points.

Honestly it seems that a lot of things nowadays get called tracing that aren't even close to tracing, tracing is you drawing over the picture (aka tracing the lines, daa) and if you need a pose etc, want to figure out the proportions etc, then instead of tracing you either copy or reference. The reason is that tracing is mindless and lazy, it doesn't really teach you anything or force you to observe. You can use tracing to study _when_ you use it to break down an image (say a photo) into a flat 2d lines, in order to well observe it. Referencing is usually using a photo or multiple to loosely base around them while copying is more like eýeballing a certain part or whole image so it looks close to the original. Both referencing and copying are far better tools for art and frankly if you need to rely on tracing, you're just a bad artist.

You can't disagree with me that Disney really doesn't care about POC and all they see are dollar signs but at least they hire people who do proper research and actually send their artists to the countries the characters they're writing are from. Disney also doesn't stray from conventional attractiveness, no matter the race of the character.

Look up gesture drawing, it helps with the flow of a figure.
Art school helps a lot but there are other stuff you can go after if you want a more solid base. So many artists sell classes, courses and videos online. Some youtubers like proko can give some solid understanding of anatomy for example. Just target the things you struggle and try to learn the basics of everything like perspective, gesture, lighting, gestalt, color theory they help in a long run. Some people overlook these kind of stuff thinking it's "simple and basic",but they are super hard to truly master.

As others have said, gesture drawing will really help. I’d also study a little animation, as styles like these usually come from a background in animation (even if they just took a class), you don’t have to animate but learning to study and work as an animator does will help you achieve this. Also, don’t underestimate the power of style studies! Study their art and try to replicate it, while not posting it. See what parts of their style and technique you immediately want to replicate into your own.

There's a couple basic things you should take into consideration to make it a fair price that a lot of people would buy.
1. Materials: Make sure to get your cost of used materials back. Doesn't really apply to digital art that much. High material cost justifies a higher price.

2. Size of Composition. Bigger means more expensive generally, this also depends on materials used, but your bigger work you'll want to price higher. Again, doesn't really apply to digital art.

3. Technical Skill: How much technical skill went into it. Time isn't a really good standard to use for pricing since time depends on the artist. You could spend a week on a drawing, but if it's incredibly simple no one is gonna spend that much money. Judge your art by the end product.

4. Exclusivity: Basically are you doing commisions a lot or rarely. If you only open commisions a couple times and make your money another way, you can justify upping your price since it's exclusive art.

5. Popularity: How popular are you/is your art. You could think that your art is better than Loish or someone else, but that doesn't mean you can price it the same. Are you doing art that is super niche, so someone would be willing to pay a lot of money, or are you doing basic anime art, that a thousand other artists are doing. How in demand in your type of art.

This is super basic and theres a ton of other stuff that goes into it. but I suggest making some sort of framework for pricing.

No. 593161

>>592925
Could also work: Divide your monthly costs (bills, rent, average cost for groceries, etc.) by the amount of (similiar) pieces you can do a month without burning out. If you think the resulting prices are too high, you clearly need another income source or get faster at drawing.

No. 593173

>>593161
THIS, is such an important point. I see people in this thread bullshitting that "artists need to pay rent too uwu" and while that's absolutely true, that doesn't mean it's a good idea to charge exorbitant amount of money for your art when people aren't going to buy it. Justifying frankly ridiculous prices, that most people don't want to pay, with this logic makes no sense. I could quit my job today and start selling my art fulltime instead, and I wouldn't make enough money to live, but that doesn't mean I can whine about how "I need to pay bills too". Sometimes artists just need to get another job until they are stable. I suggest not even making a permanent career out of it, until you know you can make neough money to live.

I don't really understand what you mean. He's obviously not trying to be semi realistic here. It's weird to see people automatically assume an artist has regressed, because that's not always the case.
>Regression is a return to a former or less developed state
He's not really trying to be semi realistic there, and the proportions are not off by mistake, that's intentional. If he was trying to be semi realistic and got shittier at it, that would be regression. I think it's ugly, but him trying out a different form isn't really regression, the same way someone doing impressionism isn't failing at realism.

There was drama at the beginning of the month, this artist said she's doing a painting inspired by willow smith, and people got really mad at her in the comments for making her lighter. I sort of agree, why pick a picture of a borwn skinned woman and then paint a light skinned woman with blue hair?

No. 593227

I mean, the drawing does look lighter, but the skintone choice doesn't look white. It clearly has more browns than peaches. It may be that the artist just doesn't know the proper colors for dark skintons.

What the fuck else could she do? Delete the post? Can’t do that, the mob will think you’re trying to bury it. Change the art? Can’t do that, it’s pandering to seem woke! Apologize?

>Then how would you expect someone to respond? I fucking doubt she was thinking ‘This Willow Smith picture is great! It would be better if she was lighter!’

You're an idiot. Racism and colorism doesn't have to come from an intentional or malicious source in order to exist. She said she was inspired by a picture of a black woman and then painted her lighter, of fucking course people are going to be annoyed. Whether she's racist or not isn't the point, she handled it badly, if OP is telling the truth.

>When people cry racism over a piece of art or media that was not intended to be so, there is zero hope for the person being accused of being racist.

Racism isn't always intentional. There is hope, considering that this situation has blown over for her and isn't some huge drama, if her insta is anything to go by. Saying there's no hope, and she's the victim or some shit, is fucking stupid considering there are people who are openly racist and shitty, who still have thriving careers.

But she said it was only inspired by it. There’s this thing called artistic freedom you know, which should allow her to be able to draw what the fuck she wants. I think the picture looks nice, the person is obviously dark but if you look at the art and the reference, a lot of things are different than just the skin color. This is not meant to be a copy, a study or a portrait of her, instead it is inspired by the photo, mainly by the hair. People are flipping over nothing and this stupid backlash right here is the reason people don’t even want to draw black people.

This is her art and she’s under 0 obligation to make her darker just to please some over sensitive randos.

You pulling in the whole ”lol some people are racist so she should do better” is fucking dumb. We all like to think that we would handle things better but if you have hundreds of people suddenly slamming you for absolutely nothing, yea anyone would get defensive, doesn’t mean you’re racists, doesn’t even mean you’re unintentionally racist, it doesn’t mean anything.

No, people get defensive because being branded as a racist is a serious fucking insult these days and nobody wants that reputation following them. So they better get on to trying to clear their name. It's not a fucking banter insult you drop at someone lightly. If someone came up to you and started screeching at you being racist for some menial, stupid issue like not drawing enough POC characters or making a black character look "too white", would you try to explain how you're in fact not a racist or would you just smile and be chill about it because "you got nothing to hide" while the callout tweets making rounds hit 15k retweets?

End of discussion. Unless the artist's intention was to paint a portrait of Willow Smith, specifically, there is nothing even remotely racist about thi situation. 100% manufactured "drama" and "scandals" so that white "woke" faux-leftists on Twitter can feel holier-than-thou for calling out the "racism" they invented in their mind.

people are allowed to have opinions outside of what everyone on twitter thinks. just because someone doesn’t change their opinion to agree with the majority doesn’t make them “immature”. it’s not this artist’s fault that people were offended. their intention clearly wasn’t to offend.
even if the artist had done something horrendous, they have no obligation to apologize. an apology is given only when a person feels they are in the wrong. and you can’t be right or wrong about what is offensive, because that’s a matter of opinion. if this artist feels bad and wrong that they offended certain people, then they should apologize to appeal to those people. if the artist doesn’t care, then they shouldn’t, because then those people will (hopefully) exit their social circle. then that person can cultivate a social circle of people that are more similar to them.
this isn’t about being an adult, or a child, or being right or wrong. it’s just how interaction between people with differences in viewpoints works.

When it comes to Validate, I get if they poked fun at people wanting white character in the game but this is just obnoxious behvior from them. White people may not be oppressed in general, or subject tot he same oppression as dark skinned people, but look at Irish people, Italiens, or people from the Ukraine or Romani People. They might look white, but they are still discriminated against. Racism isn't just black and white, and it's very obvious these devs are Americans, because while white people in america are not oppressed, there are people in Europe who are discriminated against, and race functions differently here.

It's actually a fucking chore to program an entire visual novel on your own no matter if it is just renpy, especially with managing flags and doing anything more complicated but writing simple scenario text output. And especially in a project this big. Checking out Lisa's twitter it seems she isn't that experienced of a programmer so I could imagine she's having a hard time with being the only one taking care of the code. People have complained about the demo being laggy which is an indicator of the code and assets being bloated and not optimized, a clear sign of incompetent programming. I'll be surprised if this project ever actually gets finished and doesn't just disintegrate after a few months.

Yeah exactly. When you're watching shows with younger characters, it's also common to revert back into that mindset. It's also important to not that anime characters don't look realistic, so it's one more step removed from reality. I had a crush on zuko when I was younger and watched atla, and still remember those feelings now that I'm older, but I wouldn't feel that way towards the stranger things cast since they are literal actual children. It's also strange that they lump older teen character in with pre teens and such.

The older you get the more irrelevant age gaps become. Doesn't mean you have to hang out with actual children. kek But 20somethings are adult enough to hang with the older crowd – and they're young enough to hang with late teens. I'd say it's normal if you hang out with people 7 to 10 years around your own age (in both directions) once you pass your late 20's.

Most of these people are around 20 and white (or white passing) and work from home. Of course this works out bc they literally have no real costs except their business costs.

I think the issue of artistic freedom is a complicated one, because on one hand you don't want racist, sexist or homophobic shit in your work, but then you also want creative freedom in your work. It's weird because while I have no personal problem with this aged up, sexualizing teens thing (even less of a problem in cartoon/anime), I don't really know where to draw the line and I don't think a lot of these people who complain about sexualization of minors do either.

But what I will always wonder: You can do in your art whatever you want but is there a need to share everything? Like, if you want to age up a character for yor own fantasies, just do it. And then keep it to yourself. Same goes for lolicon crap. Nobodies cares what you're into as long as you don't publicly share it.

idk, freedom of speech is what a lot of these people say, and I'm inclined to agree. Where do we draw the line at what should be published and what not? For some people, they're iffy about gore, should that not be online as well.

This idea of having a line drawn is really complicated. I think in general if it enforces real life stereotypes or prejudices that’s a no-go zone though. Other than that racism and sexism, exist simply to degrade others. I think this underage stuff exists for various reasons, most of which isn't because the consumer base are real life child molesters. For some they might just be literal pedophiles, but for others it could be metaphorical for something else. The same way some people are into like rape fantasies, as a metaphor for loss of control or something. At the end of the day I'd prefer it to stay in fanwork rather than officially published media.

agreed, especially on the staying in fanworks part. personally i draw the line there, while for fanmedia you can say that there are a bunch of warnings and you have to go out of your way to find it, with published mass media you can't. there's this big spotlight on what fancreators are doing because the people harassing them know they can punch in that direction, mainstream creators not so much. there's plenty of anime/manga that come out of left field with some shit that can be disturbing to people with no warning, and if that person happens to be a child it could affect them (not that it would instantly make them a pedophile, "just" traumatize them).

I hear you, anon and I agree. It's just, idk, it's not about freedom of speech. It's more about the artist's sanity. I mean, we're not talking about galery art that's living in it's own hemisphere. We're talking about everyday art with a specific usage in mind (and sometimes a buckload of emotions connected to it), like vent, gore or porn. And I think creators of such everyday art have to be aware of what's accepted within their circles/ societies and what's not – and they have to be ready to deal with everykind of reaction their art may provoke. That's when artist get weird imho when people don't react they way the artist assumed or does and the artist can't deal with it. (Doesn't always mean backslash, sometimes people just read too much into a piece.) So there is no hard in stone line here because every artist can deal with different amounts of reactions imho.
That's what I would think. But as we're living in an age where people tend to overshare thanks to Social Media and the narcissistic highs we get by constant self-portrayal, I think a lot of people confuse silencing/ denying freedom of speech with beeing wise about what's best to share and what not.

Yeah I agree with both. I think there are cetain shows which cross boundaries but there are cetain shows where it is appropriate and doesn't come out of left field, like Game of Thrones for example. If you watch GOT, then you're consenting to the possibility of torture, gore and rape being shown, since thats the kind of show it is.

Antis have a problem with all 'problemat*c' content. Abuse, toxic relationship, age gaps, literally everything. I think if you have a dark anime that specifically is very horror themed etc, it's fine, because the whole point of that genre is kind of to be outrageous, + children shouldn't be watching it in the first place. If something sexualizec children a lot in a big way, I think you have to be very careful about what media it's in. But when it comes to fanwork, literally no one should care.

No. 594981

NTA but this is definitely not just inspiration. An inspiration is seeing an idea and wanting to execute it in your own unique way, this dude took an idea and executed it almost identically to the original, and that's a rip-off. I don't think it would've been an issue if the artist would've given credit, literally saying "oh hey I saw this cool artwork [link] and I wanted to recreate the idea in my style" would've been enough, I think the original artist would've been humbled, since it's kinda like receiving fanart of your work but this didn't happen.

This reply and all the replies to it, sound like the same broken record.

There is no such thing as originality. Originality is dead, our lives are too overly saturated with imagery and media, art corporate and independent alike, that finding a holistically new, untouched concept is impossible. Camilla d’Errico’s entire library of work is basically ‘drippy paint on a pretty subject’, am I to assume whoever make the hyper-realistic guy was stealing, and not inspired, by her because the concept is similar? By this logic, DC should sue Marvel because they made hero comics 5 years before them!

The two images we are talking about are similar, in concept and subject. I don’t doubt for a moment the second artist saw the first guy. But ya’ll are taking about idea stealing, a literal thought crime. It isn’t traced, it’s using a different style, and unless the first artist can, or wants, prove it in the court, since the burden of proof is on him, no copyright was infringed.

And a short thing on ‘link the first guy if you were inspired’ crowd; we aren’t writing fucking college papers here. You shouldn’t need to provide a Works Cited page every damn time you post a drawing. It’s fucking internet art, and ya’ll are acting like these pieces are going into the Met Gala.

You've never heard of plagiarism haven't you?
Also yea no one needs to link every inspiration they use but if you're gonna create someone else's concept and down to a very specific details, then yes, you should give credit, because that goes beyond inspiration. The thing here is that you can take a concept and create that same concept in thousands of different ways but this dude did not. If I tell a room full of people to draw a swing, each swing is going to come out differently, this is because a concept and an execution are 2 different things. This artist could've taken the concept of paint pouring and make it pour from different angle, have different colors, different mood etc, yet they did not just copy the concept but the whole execution of that concept and that is the issue here.

Maybe it's because poc people already get whitewashed and edited in order to look lighter. you don't need to be 100% realistic, but if I flip the drawing to grey scale and it's light grey then there's a problem, especially if you took a dark/brows skinned poc as inspo/reference. It your having problems with the tones and the shading that's one thing, but when you deliberately draw dark skinned people lighter, you're better off just not using them as reference at all. People like to exagerate that the sjw will come after you if you do anything racist, but that's bullshit. There are plenty of people who have been called out for racism where it blows over completely.

Artists are just lazy. People here will rip artists apart for saying it's muh style, or for tracing, because it means they are untalented and lazy cheats, but when it comes to this, it's not the artists fault. SKin tones are not rocket science, dedicate even a couple months and you'll have learned how to shade correctly. It's not hard. This excuse of "it makes people not want to draw black people" is stupid, because it's not that hard.

Plagiarism is basically a concept theft, you can plagiarize both art and writing, both are plagiarism just as much. Plagiarism in writing could be copying someone's sentences with few edits or having the content of the writing be mostly the same with the same focal points even if it was written differently.

He was showing that he used it as a reference in case someone got mad that he didn't credit probably since that's happened before with him (and I'm not defending him either).

The problem is not that it's the same concept, it's that it's executed identically, specifically the part where the paint is dripping. Anyone who continues to deny this is a troll and should fuck off.

When will it start to feel like pandering to you? I used to always want to see representation when I was younger. But this new form of "diversity" just seems insulting. It feels so fake and forced. Do you still enjoy that kind of representation?

No. 595578

>>595570
tbh, representation isn’t something that matters to me. I can enjoy media no matter the color or sex of the characters. despite not being a white man, if a movie was only white men, I could still relate to those characters if they were written relatable.
Pandering to me is determined with the reason behind why directors/artists switch races of characters. if they do it because they have a cool design idea, if they think that having a specific ethnicity can enhance the meaning or message of the art, or if having a certain background could add something to that character’s story, those are all perfectly fine reasons for playing around with a character’s original race. if the race is switched simply for the purpose of being “diverse”, however, I would begin to see that as pandering. If the directors/artists/marketers really push the fact that they have a “diverse cast of characters” over everything else, I find that pandering.
However, just because the directors/artists pander doesn’t mean that what they make will automatically be bad. if they market heavily “diversity” and not much else, I’m going to be apprehensive. that’s not because I care what race the characters are, but because the types of people that hyper focus on diversity don’t usually produce good quality content.

tldr: I don’t really notice the diversity. I only notice if the directors’ intentions seem more towards making things as diverse as possible instead of artistically good. you can have both at once, but lately people have only been doing one or the other.

Now you just made her design more generic and her pose lacking in personality and movement. I don't get it. It's not like the original was super sexualized or had awkward anatomy compared to the edit. A lot of OPs are just low-hanging fruits like reeing about a sexy costume in a game made for men, gushing over some random "omg a stunning poc character design with muscles and covering clothing yass kween" characters or "not like other guys!!!" scrotes lacking self-awareness to the point they're posting some generic coomershit as an example of "nonsexualized realistic anatomy" or looking for brownie points for drawing a female character with a shirt on.

r/mendrawingwomen is a pretty mixed bag. while they are incredibly self-righteous about some things and have the energy of bikini armor battle damage, they do post some hilariously bad artwork sometimes like pic related.

the discord is kind of a mess, too. recently they got triggered over the word trap. they also have 'fix-it-friday', where they have a weekly contest to redesign girls in skimpy outfits.

while i don't enjoy their 'reee ribs reee organs' thing which is a meme at this point, i do think they have a point about some of the art they post, where it IS ridiculously fucked anatomy.

the kids posting their art and asking for criticism is top cringe, though.

Nope, they literally go through years and years of peoples' social media activity to find something problematic. It's most certainly some sort of a personality disorder manifesting or at least a desperate, obsessive effort to get some sort of a feeling of superiority over people. They try to justify this with "I'm just getting rid of pedos!!!" but then only target 20-year olds who ship two 17-year old characters or something.

More of a discussion question than a salt post, but why do so many artubers who make merch make it at home? I get why some smaller artubers who sell only a few items in batches would make products at home, but I'm more referring to larger artubers like Katnipp who sell large batches of product at once.
I understand that printing stickers/prints in the studio helps with on-demand and keeping accurate stock, but wouldn't it make more sense, time and cost wise, for people running a business of that scale to get their stuff made by manufacturers? Do correct me if I'm wrong though.

It is literally color theory 101 that you NEVER darken with black or grey. It doesn't make the color a different shade, it removes saturation. You shade with analogous colors, so then you don't lose the hue. If you want to go darker after that, use complimentary colors, so it pulls the color's tint down.

Lots of places have a MOQ (minimum order quantity) of hundreds or thousands not also mentioning the cost of shipping (which has gone up a lot recently cuz of COVID) and customs. And a lot of tubers are businesses of a couple of people so they don’t have the storage to keep them. Imo someone like Katnipp can get her stickers made from a manu since her store sells enough to keep four people employed, but making them in house keeps ultimate control over the quality and production and stock (she also runs a personalization business with her baby bluu store so that’s a lot more cost efficient than using a dropshipper). Most smaller art tubers too use cutting machines for stickers as well, it’s more cost efficient since a sheet of stickers can cost pennies but I’ve seen group orders of stickers from manus where sometimes an entire small sheet of stickers can be a dollar or two, which is less of a profit margin.

Chey Barton is a pretty popular YouTube artist that transitioned from making stickers at home to getting them made through sticker companies, she talks about it in her vlogs and her store has gotten so high volume that it was better if she did since it really is just her running it and maybe a friend helping pack. It just depends on the nature of your business and the cost effectiveness

I meant specifically artubers who are around Katnipp's level and sell enough to need assistants or staff. I get that people who run a shop by themselves can't expect a manu to be like "yeah we can print you like 5 sheets of stickers," because it's not worth their time/effort.

>>596741
>>596961
Yeah, quality control is important. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I was just confused about people like Katnipp who run a larger business than most other artubers (i.e. only one person making the merch, printing it, and packing it) make stickers or prints in-house when she sells enough to justify getting a manufacturer to print them instead of her and her assistants printing them and cutting prints by hand or loading stickers into the cricut.

Your post reminded me of this artist I found a few days ago. The art is pretty but it’s the same thing over and over again: bust of pretty girl followed by a close-up that doesn’t even zoom in much so it’s completely unnecessary. The lighting and expressions barely change. And the rare times she actually includes more of the body it looks wonky as hell.

I know it sounds pretentious but finding artists like this is kind of depressing. They aren’t interested in developing a range of skills or telling a story, they’re content with the only trick they know. If it gets them attention and/or money then it’s enough. Trying something new may actually alienate the audience they’ve built.

There's nothing inherantly wrong with finding something and sticking to it. You might not become an art master, but a lot of these people just want to draw things they like no matter how simplistic of empty it is. SOme artists are obssessed with symbolism and others focus more on aesthetic. Neither is really inherantly better than the other. Not wanting to improve or diversify isn't a bad thing in and of itself.

Because they're lacking business skills. Just because people might be talented or have a following doesn't mean they know how to sell and market themselves.

That's not true, imo it costs more to print from home with the cost of ink, sticker paper, and getting the right settings on a cutting machine and then having to buy new blades and cutting sheets (especially time). There are plenty of sticker companies sheets where you can purchase as low as 1-25 sheets and they're pretty dependable like zap creatives (I think that's where Chay gets hers done).

It's not expensive as it used to be.

No. 597184

>>597182
Like anon above said, it's mostly for quality control when you make it yourself. Even when you have a small fanbase, it still costs less to make things yourself when you factor in how much you'll have to price your merch to even make a profit back. Zap Creatives and Acorn already do that thing where they charge you for printing more than one design per product. Alibaba is a bit better but, the shipping will usually bite you in the ass. And with getting someone else to make them for you, you'll have to pay for shipping the products to you and then to the people that bought them. Compare all that to printing at home where you'll be able to do as many designs as you want and only have to worry about material costs and shipping them out yourself. I sell at cons and only out source things that I can't make myself: Ie. Enamel pins, Acrylic Charms, etc. Buttons and stickers are much more cost effective to make yourself if not time consuming. Cutting out the middle man will always save you money.

It really depends on the market, like if you’re doing planner stickers like Katnipp has, I’ve seen people have tons of cutting machines and similar because it’s just that cheap to make those kinds of stickers by hand. Plus, people who like to buy stickers for planners are not into the kinds made of a thick vinyl imo? I’ve had stickers made by zap creatives and they’re a more durable vinyl but they’re too thick for planners (I make both planner stickers at home and get sheets printed). I just found the YT channel of the girl who runs the Etsy store Plannerface- she’s made over 32k sales on there and runs EIGHT silhouette machines but is popular in the planner and sticker world.

>>597182
On the flip side, it IS actually way cheaper to make sticker sheets at home which is why planner stickers makers can sell them for cheap. I’ve done the math for my own store:
A 250 pack of online labels weatherproof matte paper is about 130$ (this is a higher end sticker paper too, the normal paper kind is cheaper), You can get 4 sheets of stickers per piece of paper at around a6 size, so each sheet is about 13 cents (doesn’t factor ink & time, I know, but it depends on your setup like if you do a CSS or generic inks in your printer or you run a laser). Zap’s sticker sheets at a6 is about $490 for 1000 sheets, so each sheet is about 50 cents each, however the vinyl is thicker & more like the kind used for outdoors stuff (I’m iffy with zap cuz their colors are usually darker for some reason. Chey uses Vinyl Disorder, she mentioned it in a video, and I like their vinyl a little better and it’s thinner. And I know some factories in China do paper stickers now that are comparable).

So yeah it really depends on the market you’re aiming for and what your goals are for your own store. Lots of people don’t have a lot of start up capital so like, spending about 500$ on cutting machine, printer and paper is more desirable than ordering a lot of stock in one go that you don’t know will sell or not.

A lot of RISD students I've seen recently don't produce particularly good or astounding work either, like vid related or poop-chan's boyfriend.

As far as art schools with students that still produce interesting work goes, I like a lot of Cooper Union's students' work. I like that sort of messy, gotta try everything at least once, artsy look vs. CalArts and RISD's super polished look, hence my love for Cooper.

i can't imagine him going for realism with that portrait, it looks like a caricature to me. it's pretty easy to copy proportions from a realistic reference good enough that you think it makes a decent face, unless he rushed it.
besides that this is very mediocre, definitely not university level stuff. the house's side is wonky and i don't think even the front of the house's lines align properly. the stylized stuff is also really wonky, wily looks the most decent because it's mostly just a copy, but because he doesn't know what makes the style charming his deviations from it on the megaman illustration make it look bad, especially the coloring makes it look flat and lifeless.

most of this video is just random information with no cohesion. the information she does give she doesn't go in depth on it. like at 2:03, she just says "it's too much. just learn it" like she can't be bothered to actually make a proper tutorial.

I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver multiple times, completely clearing my cintiq settings, etc. to no avail. A LOT of people online said they had the same problem and Wacom’s customer service is nonexistent so no one ever found a way to fix it. I sold it and bought an iPad Pro instead since it can be used as a screen tablet for computer programs as well as being a portable digital sketchbook.

She's a living proof that art degrees don't mean shit on their own. If you don't internalize what the classes teach you and aren't willing to research further then it's just a waste of money. I painted shit like that at 15 after watching a tutorial on the internet.

This. I have no idea why she's wasting her money on oil paints, she could just get the same results with pastels. What kills me is that she uses oil paints but barely blends the colours, it's just her slapping them on top of each other.

No. 598989

>>598857
I get her point. Putting up little informational signs or something is common in a lot of places like zoo, history museums, and historical sites. usually they offer audio guides or pamphlets too. The point of an art museum is not to just house art, its to make that art available to the public and accessable, and that in part includes giving people information.

If a museum isn't providing information about the subjects they are housing then they have fundamentally failed in their duty, and it does lesson the experience.

No. 598996

>>598989
I agree with you anon since the main point of museums is to allow the general public access to actual pieces of history. You can't fully understand the impact of a painting or a choice the artist made if you aren't given context for it. That's why a lot of people don't value art since it's just displayed as a pretty thing to look at and doesn't go in depth about the importance or message it had.

I have a Huion H610 Pro V2, works well. $50 on Amazon within the US. Just need to make sure the nib is clean before putting it into the pen otherwise it'll mess with the pen pressure, and not to yank on the USB cable because the connector might break after too much abuse. The pen is also a bit fragile, if it drop it on the nib it might mess up the pressure sensitivity, but replacement pens are only $15… So while a Wacom tablet might be more durable, I've heard they sometimes have driver issues and they're much more expensive for the same size. The also have issues with the surface of the tablet degrading pen nibs super fast. A new Wacom Intuos Pro S is $160 on Amazon… The only thing Wacom has over Huion is that you can buy an extra $100 pen that allows you to rotate your brush strokes based off how the pen is rotated (the Wacom Art Pen). This is indispensable for certain digital artists' workflows.

For anyone wondering, the original art is on the right and the traced Jeremy made is is on the left. She also blocks anyone and deletes comments that call her and refuses to stop tracing.

Someone will ask 'what gouache should i use' but without knowledge of what or how that person wishes to use that medium theres no real solid advice you can be given. It just doesnt work on an anon thread.

This thread is art salt and discussion, not art salt and advice. No one comes here to coach beginners into a right path, they come here to discuss art drama and these threads should stay that way. Even worse is that this same art supply concersation happens in every single thread as well and none of these idiots bother to read back on it. Lets face it, no one really cares about the type of watercolors you use, you wanna rave about art supplies, do it elsewhere.

I'm not a wonder woman fan but I totally understand why fans of the origional were so disapoointed because of the movie or shit like this >>600268 The male actors were all cast pretty close to how they looked in the comics, and I don't think I've seen woke art of them being a different race, a whale or disabled etc either.

This is literally describing what an art style is though. You wanna draw realistically because thats what looks good to you? That's realism. You wanna draw in a naruto style, that's anime. I don't understand this at all. Even if you draw the most ridiculous shit ever, chances are it'll fall into an art style, even if you don't intend it to. Also chances are that the beginner artist is inspired by someting and will strive to emulate that style because that's whats inspiring them? How do you think it is that people develop unique reoccuring qualities in their art? Not by just drawing fuck all, but by choosing a specific style that appeals to them and learning how to do it themselves, which eventually evolves in their own interpretation of an art style.

When the desperate pandering starts you know they're in such a desperate situation they're willing to try any last ditch effort to throw anything at the wall and see if it sticks. It's sad because DC and Marvel comics have both been tanking for years, now DC is just trying to do what Marvel did even though anyone can see it's not working and only alienating the people who would be interested in their content. The "YASS QUEEN CANT BELIEVE [SOULLESS CORPORATION] SAID [MINORITY GROUP] RIGHTS!!" crowd only pays lip service, they're not going to spend a dime buying it.

However after seeing that fucking New Warriors Snowflake/Safespace/Experimental internet gas thing Marvel belched out recently I'm willing to believe that it's Disney undercover intentionally trying to destroy the studio from the inside.

"Working with neon colors"

I don't know why she's so obsessed with neon colors, it's extremely hard to make it look good, especially if you have low understanding of color like Rae. I bet the whole drawing is going to be 4 different, clashing neon colors, shaded with black.

Overusing rainbow or neon is just a big giveaway that you're an amateur, or just have very bad taste.

You said to be honest and yet you don't like it when people are pointing out your mistakes. Your anatomy is fucked and you should probably work on that first before going in with color. You're colors are garish and not cohesive and you need to learn a better blending and shading technique for defining shapes because every single drawing looks flat.

You came to a forum and posted your art asking for raw perspective and are now getting pissy when that's what was given to you. That's why anons thought it was a joke. Your art looks below beginner level, the colors are over saturated and regardless of whether you're basing it off yourself or not the anatomy is trash. If you don't want critique you a.) Shouldn't be an artist or b.) Shouldn't post your wonky, eye-burning art on internet forums and ask for honest critique. You're better suited for deviantart, where they'll lick your asshole no matter how bad your art is.

Yikes, the 21-year old minor meme at work again. I'm so fucking sick of these people infantilizing legal adults including themselves.

You're old enough to legally get a job and own property you moron, you're not a fucking child.

Seriously these people have diluted the term pedophile to nothing, now you never know if someone talking about "p*dos" is referring to actual IRL MAP child abusers or people drawing a 20-year old petite girl/twink shirtless. When Promare was peaking last winter these pearl clutchers were telling everyone that the main characters are "minors" and that shipping them together is problematic because of their size difference, even when the movie staff said that they're both vaguely in their early to mid 20's it didn't stop. These people aren't even looking to genuinely eradicate pedos and child abuse, they're in it just for the power trip or using it as a pretext to cancel someone they don't like. Like I very much doubt anyone thinks sakimichan is a "pedo" because she drew an adult, aged up version of an underage character being sexy, it's just a bunch of lower tier artists seething in jealousy over her money and trying to take the big tree down.

No. 601933

It's not about pedophilia per se, it's about the ongoing trend in the art community of policing what artists draw. It's not limited to falsified pedo claims either, they're going after shit they see as either "incest" (two childhood friends) and "abuse" (enemies to lovers) and other dumb bullshit. They affect a ton of artists because a lot of them have to deal with these moralfagging autists on the daily. It's understandable how infuriating it is because many artists have already deleted or privated their social media to avoid public flogging for being "problematic".

It's frustrating beyond belief and I think a lot of artanons here agree, which is why it's constantly on everyone's minds.

Nayrt but the issue is that it’s brought up constantly and the argument is never about how it’s harmful to the artists but of how pedophilia is immoral, it’s diverges so far from art 100% of the time.

It’s always two anons fighting of how pedophilia is or isn’t immoral not how the fandom policing is affecting artists.

I actually think this conversation is interesting because it's not directly about pedos but idiots (who're mostly entitled minors) trying to police a community that was not even created by them nor for them. These kids don't understand that fandoms are created by adults, they're held up by adults and if the adults left none of this content would exist, but instead they rage about a fictional character who could literally be anywhere from 14 to 35 years old if the author so chose. These kids want to feel special and cuddled, they inserted themselves into adult spaces but expect the adults to bend over for them instead. Honestly kids should either F off of the internet or learn to level with the adults. Then there's this kind of idea that when a person hits 18, they become a pedo for even talking to a minor is dumb as shit.

I don't care for your subject matter but apart from that I think you could work on the poses and scenes (the second one would look better with feet) and the colors. Your colors are all saturated and while that can be a desired look I feel like it's not fully intentional and it doesn't really work since your images have no focal points (which can be introduced via drawing/composition if you go with OTT psychedelic coloring). So either tone it down and introduce more neutrals or make it even more extreme.

Because at a highschool level, any good teachers are mainly concerned with teaching you art fundamentals (basics of colour, composition etc).

>>602477

>relies on her cult
Yuumei has always been one to act like a weak victim who can't stand up for herself. She sends her WKs after anyone she has an issue with- Brookstone, that girl who traced Yuumei's art, etc.
She used her cult as a personal army against the girl who traced her art and had them spam wherever the girl applied to a scholarship for and told them to keep emailing until her scholarship got revoked. Obviously, I agree that the girl doesn't deserve a scholarship for art theft and that she should've lost it once the organization(?) was made aware, but it's one thing to email the organization yourself vs. having thousands of your followers emailing them daily.
Same with Brookstone. She had her WKs repeatedly tweet @ Brookstone and Ariana Grande until Brookstone finally responded, saying that they'd bought the rights to the design.

>cooking for her

I googled it and there's a /cgl/ post saying she caught a whole stove on fire while trying to cook something.

I can attest to this. I posted earlier that I was her table neighbor at a Cali con a few years back. Her display was a goddamn mess and overrode my setup. When I confronted her about it, she gave me an attitude and criticized my setup for being too close to hers (despite her prints overlapping and sitting on my table). Not only that, but it was so tall that it swayed constantly during the weekend to the point I thought it would fall on me and it dwarfed both mine and the neighbor on her other side so nobody could really view our displays in passing. That and her crowds were obnoxious but that comes with any semi popular artist in AA. Her assistants were nice and apologized on her behalf but it really rubbed me the wrong way how entitled she behaved the whole time.

In regards to this; Am I the only person that gets low-key annoyed when I see really huge artists buy multiple tables at conventions? I know Sakimi did (still does?) this and I kinda have wonder why? I know I probably sound petty and envious but, cons are great for smaller artists because you're almost guaranteed to make some sort of profit regardless of your online following. It also provides a great opportunity to network with others and build a costumer base. I remember a few years back I was watching an artist that was going to AX streaming before hand and he was talking about the different artists that were gonna be there that year and her mentioned Sakimi having bought like around 4 tables and the whole chat blew up with people saying that it was overkill and because she made so much money on Patreon what was really the point. It sounds weird but I get a bad taste in my mouth seeing huge artists buy 30ft worth of booth space at conventions.

No. 602652

>>602645
It annoys me too tbh. Big artists like Sakimichan should only be able to purchase space in dealers hall since they can afford the costs of it. It would definitely free up multiple tables for smaller artists who need it more than they do.

No. 602656

>>602645
Yeah its not fair for the smaller artists who wanted to get a table for con(s), only for con(s) to tell you that they run out of tables then to find out that some artists like Sakimi with big egos are buying them up. It sucks.

No. 602661

>>602645
Ehh it's kind of annoying and shows a lack of sympathy but cons aren't a small artist's charity. If an artist can buy 4 tables according to the con's rules, then she's technically not doing anything wrong. It's not like she owes small artists anything. If anything the organizers should be pushed/motivated to limit the amount of tables per artist, but I don't think the artist themselves should be blamed for taking full advantage of the freedom the rules allow them.

Sorry esl lol.

No. 602682

I agree with you but i also think if an artist is reserving 4+ tables in the artists alley the con/event should just make them move to the dealers den since they can obviously afford it and the con would make more money that way

No. 602691

>>602661
I think it would just be far more fair to limit it to 1 single 10x10 booth space regardless. I know in recent years most cons limit it to 2 tables but, like >>602682 and >>602652 said if you want more than 2 tables it would make far more sense to have them registered as a vendor instead of the smaller AA space. Sure it might not be against policy or anything and no one is entitled to a handout but, it still makes me lowkey roll my eyes. Wasn't there like a big drama a few years back with that one artist Ramy for the same thing? Like he and his gf were buying up tons of booth space and he got backlash for it.

No. 602709

Sakimi said something like she's trying to hoard as much money as she can now so she can retire in a few years and never have to worry about money again. I know she makes a fuck ton of money a year, but idk if 2-3 more years of what she makes now is enough to keep her comfortable for 50+ years though…

>>602661
Big artists can circumvent this by registering tables under their assistants' names, which is what Ramy and Sylvia did to get 12 tables at Otakon '08. They had their assistants apply as artists and submit their art for judging.
Large artists like Yuumei and Sakimi don't belong in AA anyways. Both use huge, unstable displays for the sheer amount of prints that they have and cause major traffic jams at their booths. Both problems would be solved if they just moved to dealer's since dealer's spaces are bigger = there is no need for tall, narrow displays which are unstable, and dealer's walkways are larger, so people could get past their booths more easily.

No. 602713

>>602709
Holy shit yes, this is what I was talking about. Ramy and Sylvia actually fucked the system up so badly that Otakon had to buckle down and be way more strict. Luckily I can't think of anything that bad that's happened recently. And yeah, they should really move bigger artist to the dealers/vendor hall to prevent shit like that. It might not be to the level of buying 14 tables to sell your art but, it still causes problems for the other artists around them. In every con I've ever gone to, AA have always had smaller displays like the wire grid displays, pvc pipes, etc. The biggest I see your average AA display get is with the photodrop background to hang prints and those usually aren't much bigger than 10ft tall. Compare that to the HUGE and industrial displays you see in the vendors hall/dealers den. It would be much easier for them to just utilize the bigger spaces.

(and to be honest, I'm not so sure they impair her in any way). Her fans like to hype them up, but her writing skills are really that of a 14 year old.

Popular artist in the FCG community Shunao got cancelled overnight when a guy came out and said that she manipulated him sexually to get an easy ride to EVO then turned around and cried that he raped her.

She made a "response" which was just a stupidly long exposition on how she was raised so boohoo sheltered and she had just been dumped by her boyfriend at EVO so that's why it was within reason she started groping this guy when they shared a bed and asking "uwu am i cute" then told all everyone he raped her. Basically the most unapologetic and shit apology ever with a million excuses for why she did what she did.

TLDR popular FGC artist Shunao cancelled because she desperately tried to have sex with a friend right after being dumped then cried rape to everyone.

I’m not surprised.

Her friend was a serial cheater and Shu would defend her constantly.
One of the main reasons why Shunao got so popular with the fgc in the first place is because she’s an Asian girl too lmao. Every male I knew was an absolute simp for her because they thought she could be their dream Asian gf.

This is rae's "art teacher". wish she posted more often since its great seeing such terrible artwork. I think she is a middle school art teacher from other threads. sage for not really milky but very cringeworthy.

She acts like she’s in such peril when she’s living perfectly fine with her rent being paid by her husband. It’s not like she left her house much to begin with, her vlogs were always just in her apartment. At the end she says she’s ok now but this whole rant does not make it seem like she’s fine.

I'm surprised that there are people holding her accountable (pic related) at all.

Bunny Ayumu got shit because she's known to do stupid shit for clout. MikeZ's shit was cringy as hell but he didn't solicit nudes/sex.

On the other hand, Zero's fucking done, he's lost sponsors and banned off his streaming platform.

Thanks for sharing anon, I was just about to lol Once again TD is as tone deaf as ever. I really try to be sympathetic, especially what with this pandemic going on and I was definitely feeling for her until she started bitching about her employment ventures. She was complaining about how she would only be able to make roughly $400 per month doing PART-TIME retail work and bitched how that was supposed less than what she makes as a freelance artist now (Hmm…). But yet in the same breath, she complained that for better paying jobs, she feels like she wouldn't be able to do them because she's not in good physical shape and I'm just… How are you this dense?

She's been out of the work force for a good long while now so obviously she won't be able to get management positions at retail stores and she has no active work experience at that which doesn't help her neither. And for jobs like working at a Warehouse or a Call Center which tend to pay a little more than retail, she says she's not physically able to do. It's like bitch, it's either one or the other. Stop complaining.

I work a part time retail job and I make roughly around $400 a month but I don't complain because I know it's a simple retail job and I like the flexible hours while still being able to make time for art. This is how I know that despite her saying otherwise, she grew up a little spoiled if she can't learn to work with a fixed income, plus like you said, her husband is the one paying for most of their big expenses like rent so what the hell is she banging on about?

And I mean, I get that it sucks being cooped up in your home right now unless you have to work and this is the life she chose. She could've gotten part time work when she had the chance but she stuck with her self-employment and well, this is just a consequence of being self-employed, you won't get out as much. Sorry if this came out more like a blogging but Twisted Disaster just really perplexes me. Like she can say something that's reasonable and then in the same vein, say something so dumb and out of touch in the next.

I'm honestly surprised she ever got any business at all selling her shitty charms. Her art is rushed and lazy. I remember when Bang Dream got a surge in popularity she made charms of the 14 most popular girls in 2 days and they all look mediocre as hell. All she does is hop on the bandwagon of whatever's popular to make a quick buck. She calls herself the FGC charms dealer and has a separate twitter purely for her store which just shows how all she ever thinks about is money and riding the coattails of other people in the community

Just checked her store twitter and this was unironically her idea of a good merch design. I've never seen lazier besides the likes of mushbuh/itemlabel.

Think of it this way. Whereas most convention artists have nothing but trendhopping, she has guaranteed sales by being the only one who’ll ever have a Noel print, or an Elphelt print, or whoever else is in these AFG games. At least that’s would I would say I she didn’t shirk her niche by drawing herself all the time, and unlike before she exclusively gives herself a hoodie now.

She really is obsessed with herself. Once she "became a Vtuber" a few months ago she draws herself constantly and she draws fanservice of herself too.

No. 604112

I actually find her style kinda cute and simplistic, good for charms. If I was younger I might have even bought her stuff had I seen it at a conventions. She plays it safe with the basic animu style and being asian herself probably helps with her sales as sad as it sounds. I hope she gets more backlash than loosing a couple of followers and friends though. She needs to be kicked from anything that she appears in.

if you read his account of what happened and even her account thereafter, it's pretty evident that he was not into her and she was pressuring him into the sex (they both confirm she was doing flirty shit like resting her head on his shoulders and then when they were sharing a bed he was just trying to sleep and she kept asking him if he was attracted to her and such).
And according to her account if I remember correctly she just started touching him and kissing him. I feel like he was just a nice guy giving her what she wanted since she was apparently upset and looking to rebound right after being dumped (she claims). If anything he was pressured into oral sex by her when he wasn't really into her in the first place.
