>>886828i have an art question about drawing from imagination, not from observation, so the "use your pencil as a ruler !" trick that i've been getting in every Google result doesn't work here :
say i want to draw a box in perspective that has a certain ratio, like length 6cm, width 4cm and height 3cm.
how do i keep those ratios when putting it in perspective ? because yes, i can place a vanishing point, but how do i know how deep the box has to be so that the proportions are maintained ?
i saw this, and it works really well, but sadly only for a square tile on the ground/the square basis of the box :
https://drawingacademy.com/how-to-draw-a-square-in-perspectiveplease help it's driving me mad.
No. 887206
>>887191thank you for your answer ! i was indeed wondering if those who are better than me eyeball it.
it's that i'm trying to make a box and cut in in 8 to place a character inside, but the end that's far away seems to really dwarf the head or the feet in a way i doubt is natural/realistic. and so if i had a way to be SURE that the character box is indeed character-sized, it would help me.

I love when an artist posts their art progress over a period of time as if its some motivational thing but you struggle to find exactly what's improved. I'd be embarrassed if after five years my hands and faces are pretty much the same.

As for Mari there's streams with 30 viewers at most and her old fans like Sutocayo, Okotomi, and ModernHyrulian unknowingly dox the person they simp for. Personally I think putting Mari out of her misery is a favor more than anything.

Better to watch people like Natasha Newton.

>>887183check out Draw A Box! It's a free course on perspective. I think you will particularly find a huge amount of value in the rotated box exercise (pictured) which is further into lesson 1. I do recommend doing all the exercises that lead up to it since the whole structure of this course is a slow build-up on each prior exercise, plus there are some other exercises that you'd probably find beneficial as well. The course as a whole is really fantastic, it teaches you not only to pull shapes out of stuff, but how to manipulate them as well which ultimately aids greatly in drawing from imagination.
https://drawabox.com/Regarding your question on the boxes of a specific size, once to do the rotated box exercise and really get the hang of it, you might find it worthwhile to do it again but instead starting with a box dimensions of your choice. Changing the size/shape of the boxes for a second round of the exercise is not something he covers in his course, but he at least gives you the tools to get you started with it. Good luck!

OT but I can’t be the only one who thinks artists who price things like this are delusional considering the quality of their work right? I understand you shouldn’t undervalue yourself as an artist, but if you’re going to be charging this much, at least know basic anatomy. Though from what I’ve seen this artist does have a bloated ego.

I really hope this doesn't sound very whiny but I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore anons, I just don't know why I kept taking these long hiatus, came back drawing for a bit, and then stop. I don't want to give up just yet but I just don't see the point of continuing…It's been like this for a couple of years now, my art isn't beginner tier but it's not too mind-blowing either.

Been trying to call back to the reason I started drawing in the first place and trying to get back that childlike creativity and joy in just creating. I never drew for numbers or anything like that but I find myself constantly uninspired and unmotivated. I only ever find the energy to do small doodles and always leave things unfinished, and rarely if ever finish an illustration.

I'm sure you ladies have probably seen some semblance of this game that's going around. Your Boyfriend, the yandere dating sim. It's been making the rounds on TikTok and to no surprise is popular with edgy teens even though this has been marked 18+.
There was some controversy and a callout post made on the creator of the game and her husband. Allegations of grooming, rape and such–the usual for callouts. However, in this particular situation, OP claims that the creator groomed them for their husband when the OP was – wait for it – 17 years old. Almost 18 and only persued a relationship with the OP after they turned 18–so keep in mind throughout this entire callout post, OP was 18 years old.
Yes, a 30+ year old dating an 18-year-old is weird as fuck but not illegal. The OP was a legal adult throughout the entire thing. Leave it to Twitter in the replies to refer to the OP as a "child" even though they're AN ADULT.
https://twitter.com/heresyourproof2/status/1428613512331472899Give it a read, I found it pretty amusing honestly. The way the OP writes the beginning makes it pretty obvious that they're trying to make the situation worse than it seems. It is also 90% about the HUSBAND, and not about the creator of the game at all. Only the grooming and some other allegations, which are just word of mouth and nothing substantial. It seems like, at this point, another case of someone seeing another person's popularity skyrocket so they decide to ruin their lives with POSSIBLE false allegations (or things taken out of proportion and twisted to fit a certain narrative).

But on the other hand if you prioritize learning how to copy people's styles rather than learning how to draw by yourself and subsequently developing your own style naturally through that, it just makes it seem like you're lazy and uncreative, and that you're barely trying. You can copy aspects of people's styles and blend it all into something that's yours, it happens naturally, but if all you do is copy without even trying to learn then you might as well just buy a printer.

>>897156The print size goes down when you raise the resolution because it's trying to protect the integrity of the picture's information IN PRINT.
Normally printers print to a 300DPI (dots per inch) so that's why if the original file is 72DPI, printer program will have to either stretch it out (tries to guess the missing dot information poorly by blurring/pixelating the edges) OR force the size to be smaller (more accurate to the original).
Most programs will go the second route because a crispier smaller printed image is marginally a better option than a blurry regular size one.
The 72DPI default in Photoshop comes from the 80s. It used to be the standard screen resolution so the point was to keep websites graphics to a minimum load time. Internet used to be slow and if you worked with higher res no one would be able to see it anyways.
Nowadays computers and phones have way higher DPI so the 72DPI standard is completely obsolete, work with at least 300DPI so it looks decent in screen and print and it's not too heavy.

Brace yourself girlies because I am saltier than the goddamn entire ocean right now.
I have came across this type of "artist" for the past few years but I have been silent I can't take it anymore.I can forgive if they're children learning to draw but most of these people are adults plus they're selling and taking commissions of their supposed "art".All they do is exactly copy official art or worse other's digital art but drawn digitally.The most popular guy doing this type of crock of shit is Shinigami Arts.
I knew of his existence due to "drama" that involve Sasuchi95.He copied her Sakura fanart from 2017.
You can read Sasu's twitter thread,I am not gonna spoon feed you since it's not related.
https://twitter.com/sasuchi95/status/1090074936776052737The worst thing he's not the only one.Tiktok and Instagram is filled with these people and the all have big followings.I spent my shitty time practicing,selling my soul to go to shitty art college and engaging with my followers when I could've just post glorified colouring book and get thousands upon thousands of retards praising me like I am the next picasso.
Warning if you do decide to comment that their drawings are traces of other people's art they would loose their shit."I WORK SO HARD ON IT,I SPENT LIKE 9 HOURS TO BASICALLY COPY OTHERS ART LINE BY LINE" The fact that youhave to make an effort to trace means you're shit artist.
AND MOST OF ALL.WHY IN THE ACTUAL LIVING FUCK WOULD ANYONE FALL FOR THIS?You can take a glimpse of their insta page and just see that it is basiccally official poster of anime drawn and paper.It is another thing if they draw realism and trying to copy photography since realism actually take some talent but this?This is what I used to do when I was a dumb child to practice drawing.

No. 897516
>>897271There are 3 parameters in sizing standard image files.
Physical size: How big it is when printed (real life inches).
Pixel dimensions: Width and Height. Pixel "proportions" if you may.
Resolution/DPI: number of dots or pixels per inch.
This is how they work together:
-Physical size = resolution x pixel dimensions (don't ask me to do the math in this one, it's awful)
-Resolution = physical size / pixel dimensions
-Pixel dimensions = physical size / resolution
Let's say you have a 3000x3000 that has a 72DPI.
We multiply the inches and the pixel size to give us the total pixels there are in your image.
3000x72=21,600
That's 21,600x21,600 pixels in total.
Now you have a 3000x3000 that's at 300DPI.
3000x300=900,000
That'd be 900,000x900,000 pixels in total.
It's a huge difference in pixels/dots/color information.
It's unnoticeable in a computer screen because they are small and have lower resolution than real life (for now)
But the printer needs the DPI information because it's literally printing 300 dots per inch of paper and if your file is only telling it the information of 72 dots per inch it has to either resize it or pixelate it (which is just the program's guess work).
Even if your 72DPI file is huge, you'd still have to print it 3 times smaller to match that pixel resolution in a 300DPI printer.
Hope this is a bit more helpful?
No. 897635
>>897271NTA but here's a reply for dummies (like myself):
72dpi canvas that's 3508*2480px is the EXACT same thing as 300dpi A4 canvas, because dpi is only relevant for printing. So just use 300dpi and don't worry too much about resolution unless you're given specifications. 600 dpi is overkill but I've heard b/w manga artists work with that resolution.

This series is famously known for the wolf and the bunny having some self-discovering consensual heterosexual furry sex and I can already imagine there are shitloads of fan arts gravitate towards that.
The bottom pic really gave me a chuckle considering the context is Glorified Furry Sex
Another example is Devilman Crybaby is when every kept making Reconnaissance paintings of the spoiler ending. (pic as an example) I saw the similar motifs all the time when the hype was all over the place. No doubt if there were infightings over Stealing ideas lol

>>905300what truly got me started illustrating (not just doodles and practice) is getting into a fandom and creating tons of fanart. you NEED something to inspire you. just mindlessly doodling without passion will get you nowhere. just wanting to be better just to be "good at art" will get you nowhere (unless you are aiming to be a teacher)
start thinking about what you really want to draw, stop thinking about popularity online or getting art friends. those things will come naturally when you honestly and skillfully express your ideas through your drawings

>>905300As someone who has been working professionally for 13 years I can tell you something important: No one really cares about the progress except yourself.
Social media really ruined people's perceptions of art and its value. So if anything, take a break from it. Create an entire new account to draw small doodles that doesn't take so much of your time. You can then eventually move onto illustrations that can take more time to finish.
I've strictly militarized of how I consume arts online for a couple of years now. I don't care much about fan arts, I've looked more into industry artists & studios (not every of them have much presence online, but have more influences on local gallery). Pay attention to credits more than twitter/instagram's suggestions.
I have only few art friends & acquaintances, and I don't talk to them as often as my normie friends and family. I do get lonely and MOFO occasionally, but with time I got used to it, and feeling much content with my works since.
As for my advice about dealing with WIPs, I tend to just put them in a backlog and come back to whichever when I feel like it. For example, I'd set deadline for a certain project (2 months or so), if I'm not finishing it by that time, I can rightfully take a break from it and work on something new.
Hopefully this can help. Best of luck anon.

My strongest impression is that she shamelessly sucks up to any art director she ever worked with, despite her role was minor as fuck. In recent years I noticed her more often due to constant twitter ass kissing with some of the artists I've involved with in the past. Needless to say, I'd be more worried for this Jayd person since her current friends are more vicious than the surface. Hopefully this gets some traction and more people come to speak out.

to those of you who have patreon and the like, what kind of rewards do you offer and how do you price them? i've looked up a couple dozen guides and looked at popular patreon pages, but i don't think i can keep up with that kind of workload that most patreon creators have. at most i could possibly do two patreon-only drawings a month on top of my huge workload of commissions and the occasional personal art.
i'm thinking just basic discord roles and polls for "drawing of the month" kinda thing to increase interactivity, but i have no idea what else i could offer.

If you have a store, open polls about what they'd like, offer patreon only merch or discount codes, 2x1 offers in stickers or whatever, limited enamel pin colourways, stuff like that.

My advice is not the best but what you can do to cope with is try to limit your social media activity by open the app whenever you want to post, only interact with several friends/mutuals. If possible, dont open social media at all then focusing on studies, practice, dont focus on getting popularity since the sad fact is most popular young/minor artists tends to abandon improvement to get more clout iirc.
Speaking of getting art friends it does sound intriguing however dont put too much attachment to them which only few of them are actually supports you then the rest never interacts with you in any way. Those things comes naturally once you have appreciated yourself and your progress.
Social media is draining our braincells, you better not frying your brain looking at cool artists to constantly guiltripping yourself.

There's not much to say about her in terms of being "unprofessional" besides constant bitching and trashtalking about our friends. I'd say 99% of JC's friends absolutely hated her.
I had a friend come vent to me about he had quit being in her chat group after she openly badmouthed a friend of his. For context, his friend was known for drawing rule 34 of underaged characters and often got harassed online because this job. She was saying in the line of "he deserved it" when he was receiving explicit death threats and suicide baits. Netherless, none of us believe she has any shred of empathy in her since.
During a convention I can't name here, she wouldn't stop berating the younger staffs for not meeting every of her needs, then turn around spinning a fake ass story about how the event was too underfunded to host her (which was a load of craps considering they had earned enough to donate to charities for years).
I wish I could say more of the recent things I've heard but it may cost careers of those still works under her. Most of them wouldn't want to speak up because they knew fully-well how Juby is talented at controlling her narrative.

>"It's scary to be an artist these days." It's one thing to use a picture as a reference, where you can notice similarities but you can still identify that the artist drew everything by themselves, and it's another to spot entire areas of the drawing that line up perfectly to another artwork or photograph. When you're using something as a reference your lines shouldn't be a perfect match with whatever you used as a ref. That is, surprise! Tracing.

Tracing doesn't mean that the entire picture is traced.

Taking a quick glance at some of her current works, it doesn't seem to have changed much over the years. I think she's a rather fast drawer so some pieces look rushed and you get wonky proportions that way, or compositions that aren't so good (in my eyes). But otherwise still looks mostly clean, fresh, lively. I guess you can say she "hasn't improved" but I don't really look at things that way once an artist reaches a certain point.

Now most of the deviantart big comic artists I used to watch go completely MIA online.

>>910478AYRT. And yes, definitely would love to hear more opinions on this.
My stance is more on individual growth as an artist. You can choose to do sex work (art) but it should be contained in a space where your identity and profession are protected.
I've been to a space where people only saw me as a porn vendor machine and it was… quite dehumanizing to be seen that way. I've come to learn that I want to be surrounded by people can understand my crafts, and I want to communicate better through art.
Here are some of my personal beliefs: Capital can protect your livelihood in short term but your choice of profession will affect your soul in a long run.
Fanbase can feed you and enable you, but can also be easily manipulated and will turn around when your time is up.
I hope this doesn't sound slut shaming or degrading any hardworking nsfw artists out there. I believe this path of career should be considered more thoroughly by anyone who participate in it, that's all.

Personal experience in fandoms have proven time and time again that porn (even tasteless ones) easily triumphs over everything else. And if you’re making porn exclusively of a popular gay couple? Congrats! You’ve earned a cult following of horny sods overnight.
It’s definitely discouraging for artists who aren’t into doing explicit content or if their work focuses on exploring character dynamics. But I also think that’s why you see a lot of minors draw nsfw in public spaces like twitter, they know that the gratification is instant and we all know getting validation is one addictive drug.

It has been years since but everyday I'd wish to turn back time drag my past self to Not make porn of That popular gay ship. Or at least I wish I had published them in a close, invite-only space where people don't constantly seek out my professional name for that One specific gay ship they wanted to fap to bad. This very experience has made me empathized badly with doujinka that really, really don't want to have their old works being published and circulated on the net.

Right now I'm just going hermit and taking my time to create the works I want to take pride of.

fandom spaces is all about port nowadays. i never drew porn myself, but back when i was in a particular fandom from a popular anime game my sfw artwork would get almost no recognition, but the moment i bothered to draw one of the female characters in their skimpy swimming outfit with their nipples perked up and a bit of side or underboob people would flock to it instantly. it was frustrating as hell because i always put more effort in my sfw stuff than my more risqué art. i'm pretty sure that if i were financially struggling at the time, i would've become a nsfw artist because the difference in numbers is just too big.

I'm currently going through something similar adjacent. Pandemic has me locked up at home for months now and the internet/drawing is all I have. I've become reliant on getting strangers' validation (it's bad, I'm fully aware of it but god I cannot stop).
Started recently doing nsfw on a relatively popular gay ship, and let me tell you my follower count skyrocketed overnight. I'm talking about getting 200 or so new followers, all from posting a half-assed doodle of two guys doing the dirty.

I'm really muddled with all this since I haven't found one research or document when it comes to Virtual Youtuber's patent (does the IP belong to the agency and which one and such). When I looked into vtubers drama such as using stock assets or anything related my head just went ??? altogether.
It's painfully annoying considering I've had disputes when it comes to clients' OCs before and having to exclude the commissioned arts from my portfolio because of their breakups drama. My head hurts. Maybe I should just go back to mid century being paid to make painting of Saints instead.
Some my questions if anyone's kind enough to answer:
- Are vtubers like Pop Idols? Like an agency with their Personalities/Performers that signed a contract to stream and perform under the pre-existing avatar. What happens once they're graduated (end of contract)? Does this apply to publishing house only?
- Are vtubers are like… streamers? I'm most familiar with Gamegrumps and Vinesauce where the streamers are all under a group/household. In any case they are Real People celebrities to me and I usually just avoid that ground.
- Thoughts on rule 34 of vtubers??? Are they celebrities porn?? Please send help.

>>911121honestly lol agreed. I keep getting FFXIV commissions constantly to the point people assumed I also played the game. In which I do Not.
Much to anyone's surprises a lot of them thought I was among Seasonal Anime Bros because I'm paid to draw their new favorite waifu while in reality I only watch one anime (episode) a year.
It does keep me from befriending with my audience but honestly, it's better to keep it professional. If art is a job then I'm allowed to have hobbies unrelated to it. I don't feel necessary to draw fan arts of the things I'm into either, it's nice to appreciate them as they are.
No. 911145
>>911126i'm not the vtuber expert but i think i can help with some of your questions
1. yeah, the "official" ones (like hololive) work similarly to a pop idol industry. they work under under an agency and each vtuber's voice actor is handpicked, they have managers, all that jazz. when they graduate they can go on their merry way, but i'm pretty sure they can't use the vtuber avatar they used to have after graduating. so for example if the vtuber peko graduates, then the va can't make any more videos as peko and the peko character won't gain another va, as if the peko character itself left the industry.
2. the majority of what vtubers do is streaming yeah, usually gameplays. sometimes they do collabs with other vtubers in which they play a game together or just talk. some vtubers, like ninomae inanis, are able to draw, so they also stream their art process. vtubers do a lot of stuff but a huge part of it is streaming.
3. i don't watch any r18 vtuber, so idk. i don't think they're necessarily porn celebs. like an anon said before, vtubing is pretty much roleplaying.

>>911199What's your definition of being a vtuber = sellout? I'm not sure how much a person can earn from being a twitch affiliate and I'm assuming that's what artist vtubers are aiming for. (Monetize Attention at all costs).
I still keep my twitter and other platforms running as self-promotion. I can't really give advice of running them in this current age, especially how tech companies just want to fill their sites with Influencers as their favorite cashcows.
Beside self-promotion I think twitter is still salvageable as hobby-social site. What do you mean by you're doing wrong by having an active following?
No. 911219
>>911049>You are asking vtuber questions on LC of all placesHonestly my only pet peeve is that Everytime my favourite artist will turn into a vtuber, they would always stop drawing streams at all. Same goes with drawing in general too, and they would just shit up their social medias with vtuber stuff or start pandering out of desperation. Shit sucks.
Also you don't need to have twitter or spam on it, vtuber is literally just streaming stuff or making videos like Kizuna AI with anime avatar but more dramas that happen daily there. The end.

>>911432I actually checked it out once because the art style was cute but it was pretty much soulless uwu softboi fujobait polyamory stuff. Now I cringe whenever I see an ad of it.
I have mixed feelings about Webtoon in general because I’ve always been into webcomics and this is where everyone’s posting nowadays, but only because there’s nowhere else to go (except Tapas I guess, a lot of artists post on both). So since it’s THE big webcomic site, it has to appeal to both high and low standards in order to appease everybody. And there is definitely high quality stuff on there, but since everyone’s allowed to post their comic there’s always going to be more garbage than gold. Also, I don’t think it’s always a bad thing to enjoy the “lowest denominator” stuff, sometimes you just want to turn off your brain and enjoy something, but it is a little weird that it’s treated equally by Webtoon to the high quality stuff.

When I was outsourced we only had to sign contracts like use of assets and NDA and that's pretty much it. From what I heard that if a studio was outsourced, the procedure is much simplier too. And being outsourced from Japan always has dirt pay with huge quantity of projects unfortunately, so we usually don't look forward to work with them.

>>912247Oh yeah, I've seen that going around too. Tbf considering the amount of dumb minors drawing nsfw for attention I'd be strict about it too. Although I think they should reconsider their screening method or switch it to invite-only.
As my opinion about zines, they are a whole lot of fun to participate only if you know the contributors/organizers of that zine. I've completed a bunch of zines with friends in the past and most of the time it's for niche fandom or ship we wanted to celebrate. We did have our own dramas though, hell, I've lost friends because the lack of transparency. That's why zine can appear too formal during application process.
Talking about zine drama. I remembered a few months back there was this one zine running group that got called out for rejecting someone's full illustration, even when they were ok with the person's wips before.
I'd say the finished art is atrocious to look at but lol what is even standards these days. No matter how much a mod can dress themselves with business jargons, they can't get away from being called "abuse of power" when rejecting an application.
There are definitely zines that just want to profit from fads though. And zines that do too much flashy promo are such Huge turn off for me.

>>912918This. In most zines I participated in a good chunk of the artists were picked because they were popular in the fandom, but their art was kinda shit. Mods like to pick artists judging by follower count rather than art skill because the popular ones bring in more sales.
Japanese zines (at least most of them) feel like they're done out of love for the fandom or series, without really money in mind. I mean I'm not japanese/can't read japanese so maybe I'm spewing bullshit but that's how I see it.

Don't hesitate to apply to zines if you wanna flex your skills though, dramas can happen once in a bluemoon and you don't have to do all the promotion by yourself. As long as you turn in your submission in time, it's all good and dandy.

Yeah, that's it kinda!
Before I even sit down to draw, I try to get my idea as solid as possible. I do spend some days or so thinking on a single piece and how I want it to be, so that the moment I sit down to draw my first sketch will already come out somewhat accurate, all I have to do next is polish it a little bit (usually just fix up the anatomy) and then start lining.
One thing that really helps though, is exercising to make your hand (and fingers!) steadier. I do my lineart with very quick and long strokes, and my hand is steady enough that I manage to get the line right on my first or second try already. It does take a while to get there and the process is tedious, but it's really worth it if you wanna speed up your process. Lineart is still what consumes most of my time drawing.

I know I draw REALLY slow, but it comes to a point where I don't want to draw anymore. I can draw one "full" illustration (without bg) 60h. I was drawing my first pic for around 120 hours. It's frustrating. But if I draw faster picture looks bad. I can only draw really well if I spend half of my life on it.
Any tips on how to draw faster? Especially if chara has fuckton details?

>>91538860 hours… I think the only time I reached that milestone was when I worked on a video game's cover, where all the characters are included and I was specifically requested to fully-render every of them for promotional assets.
I have to ask, what's your file resolution? I know that one of my art friends does draw too slow when they worked on a 5000px illust. When the picture itself looks really bare when finished.
No. 915402
>>9153881. Set time limit for your drawing.
2. Cut down the amount of layers you use to as few as possible, start by redusing them bit by bit.
3. Learn to judge where’s the images focal point and spend most time and detail on that. Leave the rest less important details simple.
3.1. Do NOT spend equal amounth of time refining each individual area.
4. Do studies with an hour time limit that forces you to prioritize important areas, if you can’t finish in an hour, observe why and what you need to do to make it.
These are some of the ways I used to cut down my drawing time. The most commonly I found that the reason people take so long is because their process is very inefficient. It’s like trying to find a single colored pencil out of a pile where they’re all mixed up together, compared to if you organized the colors neatly. This involves too many layers as if every stroke basically needs it’s own layer, wasting time on refining details that are barely noticeable in the picture, etc.

>>915405To add to previous anon, set your canvas resolution from anywhere to 2000-3000 pixels with 300 bpi, there's no reason for you to work with such a huge canvas unless you're trying to print a wall sized image out of it.
Also from the sounds of it, it sounds like you're still pretty new (?) to art and seem to have trouble with prioritizing your tasks. Try doing few studies off of photos etc and focus more on getting it done in time, rather than getting it to be accurate or look good, if done enough the quality should naturally increase as you learn more efficient methods to work with.

>>916223Here are a few tips:
1. Set your paypal account to business (it costs nothing), you can then change to hide your real name and address during transactions.
2. Set limits when it comes to commissions (so you dont end up with some weird furry porn request). People put Do and Don't in their commission sheet, such as "I don't do nsfw, furry, mecha, etc".
3. Socializing under your pen name is well-appreciated in art community, getting to be inclusive in a the right niche can land you pretty good & loyal customers for a long time. You just have to choose not to be Too personal in your hobby/art clique.
4. You can choose not to mention your online artist identity to your personal circle. I mean, I do get a few irl friends who are curious about my occupation, I've learned to just throw a loop at them, or deflect convo. You always have your art circle to rant about art-related things imo, so it's not like you're keeping to everything to yourself.
And yeah, I don't think anyone will hunt you down and over analyzing your personal life. There will always be weirdos who are desperate to befriend with artists, block button is your tool. I've chosen to not stand out too much in art community so it's been good to me.

A lot of coom art feels like a mass-produced product as it is.
I'm making it sound deeper than what it really is, but I've put a lot more thought into a pinup of someone relaxing and looking at the viewer than I have POV Fuckfest #203084984.
Speaking from experience, I was on a see-saw. I started out doing softcore, decorative art, joined a hentai community, and did harder stuff to flow in better. I got more enjoyment and versatility out of the former while burning out from the latter. I took a break from all of it and now returning to softcore art. Even if I draw sex, it's more implied than anything.
>>916788Basically this
>>916860 You can do 100% SFW stuff and coomers kids will still follow you. You can use subtle cues to make them feel unwelcome and keep them in check and quiet.
For example, you can still label your work as 18+/Adult Only/Mature Audiences Only even if it contains no nudity. You're the artist and you can brand the rating as restricted as you like. That won't keep them 100% away, but they'll look a hell of a lot more stupid if they choose to interact with you, especially in a negative light.
Also, be assertive on your branding. Some people think 18+ ALWAYS means nudity, when it can just imply the audience you want to cater to. Pinup art definetly counts as 'mature themes.' Some kid trying to interact with you can be brushed off as them being too lazy to pay attention.
It's not perfect, but it's what worked for me in the past.
On a random note, Kinktober is coming up, and I plan on doing softcore but sfw stuff that suggests kink. Not in the "SFW DeviantArt fetish sense," but something that is, hopefully, clever.

Personally I never had an issue with her webcomic having no black people(more like the thought never occurred to me) but it’s good to see her being a bit more self-critical. I wonder if she’d change anything now or what the reaction would be if she posted this more recently.

The kind made by transmen looks like deliberate monsters. The artist put an emphasis on how uWu cute their masc boy is, but have a yard ape that seems designed from a well of absolute hatred. Someone theorized it could be from the 'embrace physical ugliness for sake of liberation' mindset. Either way, they always look unwashed.

No. 919789
>>919773Honestly I think the popularity came from teens on tumblr who saw some of their classmates dating and/or hooking up, or trashy TV shows where teens are constantly having sex, and figured that’s just how teens were “supposed” to be and that they were broken somehow. I even thought I was asexual for a bit but I was just an autistic late bloomer.

No. 919796
>>919781>>919789To me an artist claiming that they're ace and drawing blatant nsfw at the same time just feels so off. How can someone who experiences no libido AT ALL be able to draw…well, sex? And by "be able to draw" I mean something that looks tasteful and enjoyable, and not stiff and impersonal. I too can draw a stickman with a dick, but these people draw actual porn that others can fap to. I always imagines porn drawn by a true ace person to just look off.
It only strengthens my theory that indeed these "ace" nsfw artists are just people with either a low sex drive who want to fit in, or they think they're ace because the world around them is too sexualized and they see themselves as an anomaly, or their fetishes don't fit with what the social vibes around them accept so it's easier to claim to be ace and then secretly draw the stuff that makes them horny.

Men have different bodytypes yeah but no fit muscular male body will have pecs that behave like a woman's breasts unless purposefully modified to be like them.
This only makes me think about how common it it nowadays for artists to grab male characters say that they're "trans males" but never do the same for female characters (i rarely ever see people grabbing a canon female character and saying 'oh shes trans fem' it's always male characters being trans male while still having female body parts). It feels more like the artists want an excuse/brownie point to draw big male characters with a vulva. Which…just feels kinda fetish-y and not in the good way.

And because the jade rabbit is an important mythical being in east asian folklore for this particular festival, a lot of fanart also features characters with rabbit ears.
Then there's non-east asian artists (mostly white ngl) who decide to hop in on the bandwagon without knowing jackshit of what's going on. They see the bunny ears and just started drawing their fave characters and ships in revealing bunny suits.

'mlm' tends to be a bit worse since it comes from people demonizing the word 'yaoi' and finding it more inclusive of their fakeboy headcanons.

>>925065I remember being a kid/teen and feeling so distraught that I wasn't as good at art as people who were my age. Caring about age is so
toxic, for a lack of a better word. Art is one of those things that you can only improve while ageing, unlike sports where you're done and over at like 30. Anyway I'm literally a professional artist now and those people have boring day jobs while begging online for anime furry commissions to pay their bills, and that's my humble-brag.
No. 925730
To be honest, most of these self proclaimed "gifted" teen artists do nothing but overrender their pieces and then call it a "masterpiece" and going on about how "skilled" they are. The thing is, overrendering =/= skill. Looking at my art from when I was 13-16, I was the same. I'd overrender everything, try to add the most amount of detail to every little thing and abuse textured brushes and shortcuts while not really knowing how to use them correctly, and then the final result, an overly crowded, unnecessarily detailed artwork with broken anatomy and perspective and too many overlay layers, would be called a "masterpiece" by myself and others (mainly those who were as young and as impressionable as I was). I believe these young artists, mainly those that do digital art, don't value true skill (anatomy, perspective, the "boring" basics) that much or at least don't see it as essential, instead thinking that just knowing how to use layer modes and cool brushes is enough and a representation of "skill".
Saged for the long sperg and no milk, just adding my cents.

>>925442I think I understand what they mean, though. A lot of their work looks very strained, and they ape from other creators without branching off because there's more incentive to do so. I don't mean in terms of style, but in terms of tools, subject matter, narrative, and approach.
Using references is never a problem, same with assets. But you see a lot of these artist using them as a crutch, and not a time-saver or like a garnish for their work.

>>925730 is pretty much right. They all share the same flaws as each other and they're sharing techniques which makes their art begin to feel dime-a-dozen, and makes me wonder how many of these artists will continue to draw after they're back at schools and aren't bored out of their wits in quarantine and desperate for social interaction online.
>>925801NTAYRT, but picrel is probably what I'd label "over rendering". The artist is also 14. It's probably in the same vein of when anime artists had awful anatomy but vibrant colours that distracted you from the fact the art had no coherency. Sakimichan also comes to mind. It's just a lot of filters and abuse of colour adjustment settings. The perks of digital art, I guess.

It started off pretty good, and honestly felt nice having validation and being included in group activities. But because I don't really draw hardcore kinks I couldn't join in on their more raunchy conversation. Eventually they stopped interacting with me when a new artist entered a circle who has a penchant for drawing kinky stuff.

Jokes aside I've been unhappy for a while with my art but lately I've been doing drawings by myself (without posting on social media), with the most basic brushes and I'm genuinely enjoying it. I used to fucking hate the whole process of rendering and making everything perfect but now I love it, I've learned to leave some sketchier parts too. Then I just show a couple of friends and that's it. Making art for social media is soul-crushing. Personally I think that it's also nice to avoid popular artists' "friendship" circles, they tend to be
toxic and overly-competitive.

It's not lack of practice but just the fact that I don't vibe with traditional as much as I do with digital, I much rather prefer the grip of a tablet pen than a regular pencil (even the fanciest and most ergonomic ones), for example. You don't need to be a master of all techniques or anything, it's okay to just not vibe with digital art.
A "solution" I have to suggest however is perhaps buying a drawing tablet with no screen that you can add a texture pelicule to. Wacom's Intuos tablets have a thing where you can buy a sticker pelicule that simulates paper texture and other stuff that you can add to your tablet. Maybe that could make the experience more comfortable for you?

Anyone still following the Elicia Donze situation? Yesterday she flipped her shit again (like almost every day tbh) and I'm so tired. At first I felt bad for the weird harassment she's getting, but holy shit she's insufferable. I didn't get screenshots because she bahleeted within 30 minutes but this was the gist of it
>distraught tweets about harassment and how to support her (aka promoting and commissioning)
>follower asks "what's the best way to contact you for a commission"
>E: "I don't know, I literally don't know, just shoot your shot wherever and hope I actually see it lmfao"
>explains she doesn't keep track of her email inbox because of all the hate and she's already in trouble with another commissioner because she can't be fucked to check emails
>great advertisement to future commissioners that she's actively begging for
>proceeds to flip her shit in 300 tweets because people suggested simple shit like having someone else check her emails for her
>"don't try to save me without my consent"
This bitch's whole twitter is just an endless loop of
>my house is on fire!!! why won't anyone help me! help me by spreading awareness about my house being on fire, I need people to see my work so I can make money
>"is the fire department not an option?"
>HOW DARE YOU invalidate my suffering, I didn't ask you for suggestions, I told you exactly how you can help, if you're not gonna do that then shut the fuck up! This is why people hate me, because I don't accept their unsolicited advice so they can feel like they saved me! Stop lighting my house on fire!
Bruh it's fine if she never wants to show her progress if that's the hill she wants to die on… but I'm rapidly losing sympathy because her hate messages are kind of fishy. They're always written the same way as if it's the same person every time. Now this could be a Emily Artful situation, or Elicia is just plain fucking paranoid and too autistic to realize it's just a random troll who can't move on. I agree with the other anons from old art salt threads who said she's too exhausting to follow. And yeah getting unsolicited advice sucks especially when you're just venting, but if you keep presenting the same fucking issue for years while acting completely helpless and desperate about it, of course people are gonna want to try and help. She can't fix the harassment, but being unable to take commissions because she can't confront her inbox is extremely fixable and something that needs to be done so she can actually accept the help she is requesting. Otherwise what does she want? You can help her by commissioning her but you can't commission her. She's nuts.

The accounts she tags are the mom accounts and not kid accounts thankfully, but I am uncomfortable about someone with a big following drawing (literally) attention to children like Mab Graves is with her kidlloween thing. Pic related, the weirdo mom who posted this one even posted two arty/photoshoot-esque of her child, she seems like one of those dodgy stage-moms. And mab's weirdo comment about being too "shy" and "dorky" to ask about the drawing. You're like 38 years old or something, fucking weird.
She's tagged two other accounts which were slightly more normal moms who didn't post "arty" photos of the kid along with their scrawling. At the end of this month Mab will have tagged and named 31 kids. Idk her whole aesthetic is also linked to Ryden who's linked to Jack Off Jill and Marilyn Manson (they're friends/he supported the band early on) and that style is also associated with DDLG pedobaiters like Nicole Dollanganger and Melanie Martinez, so it's all suspect to me.

Netflix Animator and professional character designer Jackie Droujko got absolutely dogpiled by 12 year olds on TikTok last night and posted a 5+ slide cry about it on her story. Why? Because the exaggerated proportions and stylization she uses for her art made Britney Spears' waist too small and unrealistic to the liking of some random preteens on TikTok. I don't particularly like her art or the whining she had about this incident, but lots of the immature comments and downright nasty insults from the TikTok comments were uncalled for.

Hope I'm in the right thread.
I'd love to start drawing again, did it while I was younger 24/7 (not good, not education, just enjoyed it) and stopped some years ago. I thought about something like a doodle each day, but with actually learning something about light, shadow, perspective, anatomy. Is there something around like Inktober that's fun and actually motivates you to learn something? Something like "draw a building from a bird's perspective" or "shade an apple".
Yes, I could come up with something myself, but maybe there is something out there like that and I don't have to, could be for more than one month, I just would like to learn something.

Dunno if any anon remembers me but I was dreading how I lost my passion for art and never feel content or happy. I just started drawing again and it feels great! Small doodles but I'm gaining my motivation back after months of hiatus, even though my achievement is small but I'm glad that I'm not a coward anymore and getting out of my comfort zone day by day.
No. 932073
>>931205I think you're right. We're living in a time where success is measured by views. Great if you're in marketing or make money from ad revenue, but that's about it. The view/follower/like obsessed artists develop an addiction.
>>931235AYRT I use and enjoy ArtStation. Even though what I do isn't a good match for the established scene that's already there (game concept art), I can feel good about linking it to both clients and friends who just want to see wtf it is I do. I like that their galleries allow for you to post your work process, too, which can be really important for some buyers.
The part I miss is a more casual place. I use Pixiv, so that fills some of my void, and went back to tumblr after the exodus. I'm making do, but the nostalgia is there.
No. 932097
>>932073Tumblr is actually a pretty decent place now that its worst users have migrated to Twitter and stayed there. It's definitely quieter, but it's still a moderately active and mostly chill social media now. I've recently returned to it after getting sick of Twitter's art scene bullshit and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
Pixiv is a pretty amazing art platform also, even with the language barrier. One useful feature that it has is how you can allow viewers to suggest tags for your art, which can help boost it since people on Pixiv tend to prefer to search for art by following tags and looking into what's new.
No. 932137
>>932123Does anyone really give a shit about this? Sometimes I feel like the artist is paying someone to shit out some ridiculous pedo art accusation just to get more exposure through infamy, it's so stupid.
Speaking of coomer artists my pet peeve is when they try to milk being Not Like Other Coomers because they draw both male and female characters being sexualized, but every time they draw women it's outrageously explicit and hardcore big titty cervix fisting or something but with men it's just
>He's shirtless here so enjoy I guessOr
>Here's a grotesque, crossdressing trap version of some meme male character being sluttified a la Shadman hee hee! Like fucking hell man you're still mainly pandering to men, don't try to be slick.

Even with popular tags, there are weirdly niched tags for mundane things that turn out to have Pixiv spotlights in English.
>>932137They seriously think it's some kind of insurance that will buy them feminist points during their next argument. At least the ones who only draw sissified men alongside women don't have enough blood in their brain to try to pass objectification off as equality.

Personal cow but why is it always "uwu be nice" people with the shittiest art who end up having the worst personality and a stalkerish behavior?

>>932505i like to get rejection emails because if i did get rejected then it's quick and painless. i get a lot more disappointed if i end up ghosted by a zine, it feels almost disrespectful? like the mods didn't even care to spare you a response.
what i do dislike though is when the rejection emails come with some extensive justification as to why i wasn't picked. things like 'your art didn't reach the standards we envisioned for the zine' or 'you art isn't what we're looking for this project' can feel hurtful depending how they're written. like, just say i didn't get in and let it be done with.

>>932691She didn't work for Disney, she was attending some open animation workshop at Disneyland and got told off for drawing a sexy anthropomorphized Minnie Mouse there. She saw her chance and made it into a hashtag for exposure and coomer cred framing it as if she was an animator for Disney who got fired over a sexy minnie drawing.
She does seem incredibly annoying though, making a post about being so smol uwu at 5 ft 6 and churning out le epic sex meymeys and waifu self-insert, just another run of the mill quirky pickme coom artist you'd expect. It's like a Belle Delphine skinwalker but as an art cow.

Not entirely sure if this is the place to ask this, but I’ve seen people giving advice here before. How is it that one actually gains an audience? How do you market your work? I can’t seem to get a straight answer or anyone just pointing me in the right direction or telling me where they go their own information, it’s really frustrating.
I’ve seen people and other creators time and time again post regularly and post good work and they just get absolutely nowhere, it’s very disheartening. I know there’s something they’re missing but they appear to be doing everything they’re supposed to do. Is building an audience just a luck of the draw? If it is then is it even worth my time?
I want to eventually start a patreon for a project that I’m working on, a handful of people in discord servers I know have actually told me my concepts are good and they’re looking forward to seeing it develop which is great news! I can’t find anywhere that has any kind of guide or advice on how to market this, how to build an audience, when to post, where to post and what is appropriate to post. I’m fumbling around in the dark and it’s frustrating. I know networking with more popular artists would be key to this but no one tells you how to network and I don’t want to forge purely transactional relationships with people, that seems so slimy. I just want to be friends with other people, I like chatting to artists it’s what I liked about art school.
I’m not expecting anyone on here to unlock the one true secret to success as an artist or whatever but just a nudge in the right direction would be really helpful, just anything really, even if I need to pay for this advice. I’m not an extremely great artist by any stretch of the imagination but I feel like I’m ‘good enough’ by now to where it’s appropriate to share my work.

>>932792This was what worked for me: I started off with drawing shippy fanart in a fandom that was still at its budding stage, now that it's become huge, my follower count has also grown by a ton. I also tried making connections with the more popular artists in the fandom so that they'd follow me back and boost my works to a wider audience. Granted that might seem like sucking up, but it's honestly vital if you want to grow a platform quickly–through connections.
Now that I'm sure my followers will stay with me for my one specific niche, I'm starting to post original works too, and so far those have been gaining attention as well. Not as much as my fanart, but it's a start.
While you're building up your platform do pay attention to posting peak time. Algorithm sucks on a lot of social media site so you have to do your own research and pin point when would be the best time to post so that a majority of your followers will actually see your stuff on their timeline. Godspeed anon.
No. 932811
>>932798Aww this was very sweet of you anon, thank you so much. This does sound like a good idea and is kinda what I sort of predicted. But honestly, it’s the answer I was kinda afraid of.
I used to do fanart for a pretty
toxic fandom and had a really, really bad experience with it. I was a kid and was dog piled by 24 year old shipping artists accusing me of stupid bullshit (like style and colour palette theft) but it completely destroyed any platform and confidence that I had. Since then I have had just zero interest in doing fanart even privately, it sucks because I used to have a lot of fun with it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a graduate and grew out of it or if it was because of what happened.
As for predicting if a fandom will get popular I have no idea haha, that is a good idea though. I’d probably need to dig up some research on how to predict that. I have no idea what fandom would be good to post in, any suggestions?
(Also apologises if I double post, for some reason it seems to be doing that)
No. 932814
>>932811Yeah, it sucks but when it comes to building a large audience, you really have to grovel. Especially if you're starting from scratch.
Some of the bigger and more active fandoms at the moments that I know of–that I've been involved in and have seen on my TL through mutuals–are east asian games like genshin impact, cookie run kingdom, identity v, arknights and fate/grand order to name a few. The former two is EVERYWHERE on twitter right now. But what's important is to find which fandom you actually like though so you won't feel as burned out.
It also helps to gun for any new trend or drawing challenge that just popped up. Heck the amount of people drawing sora when nintendo announced he's gonna be available in smash got plenty of clout from that alone.

>>932792Pander make art with popular hashtags, slowly bring in your own actual care of your art, slowly transition by showing other things you do aside from pander, but you need to know what you are doing. I'm all over the place, so my stuff doesn't get as noticed unless it's nude or suggestive, but that's also coming out of a very minimalistic art style that I normall have, but didn't get attention for months. I don't hate pandering, I do mix-match things I like, but grabbing a crowd during popular hashtags or shows, that's the go-to. Like the Ankha stuff. Everyone knows ZONE was belogging, so everyone tagged ZONE to use them for the reblogs, and it works.

>>933425this happened to me, although there was no other person involved. my fully rendered art that i spend multiple days on usually gets around 500 likes or so on twitter- and i'm not gonna complain about that number at all, but recently i posted some stupid, badly drawn doodles that have some meme vibes and…that got +10k likes and way over 20 comments. while i did like the engagement and follower boost, it also made me feel a bit…bad about my regular rendered art? knowing that no matter how much time and effort you put on a piece, in the end people might find a badly drawn funny haha meme shitpost a lot more interesting. it always hurts a little to put so much time and effort on an artwork only for it to get way less numbers than a shitpost you doodled in what, 2 minutes. i usually don't give a crap about numbers- they're just numbers after all, but i find myself slipping sometimes when that sorta stuff happens.
it did make me want to improve my art more in hopes of my normal art getting that level of attention one day, though.

>>933425Oof nonny…
I still struggle with this actually, as shameful as I am to admit it. A week ago I stopped working on a WIP (that I was genuinely having fun doing) when I saw this other artist in the same fandom space as I am post a very simple sketch with flat colors, and it somehow got over 2k likes. My mood tanked, and motivation lost in an instant. All my fully rendered paintings could never get over 500 likes, but someone posts a simple cutesy (and albeit boring) style, they get massive attention.
I know numbers don't measure how good you are as an artist, but it's hard not to associate yourself with likes when you're posting mostly on social media.

>>933425>>933433>>933437I post a combination of fully rendered art and dumb, jokey comics. The comics have maybe 10 times the attention than the art and I console myself with the fact that it really boils down to which has more mass appeal. More people are willing to share a comic with two cute cartoon characters having a funny moment than a moody piece featuring a fully-armored knight in an abandoned church.
Picrel, its a cute picture and has a shitton of likes but 100% nobody would have cared if Kirby wasn't in it.
