Mirror of aforementioned Cal-Arts rant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvnD-9XOs5k

>21 year old "freelancer" (lives at home with her mother and runs an online shop selling ugly art)

>Salty Youtube fujoshi artist that claims that her art is superior because she went to art school
>Constantly preaches that art takes hard work, claims to always practice and study but her art hasn't improved in over two years
>Whines about being a starving artist with no money, yet has enough money to buy a new Mac computer and a Cintiq tablet within the same week, then sold said cintiq because she got sponsored for her shitty shitty art
>When faced with genuine criticism, she replies with "it's my style hurrr get over it!!"
>Whines about nobody buying from her online store, but when people do, she whines about having to package and ship off her items
>Pandering to the Musicals crowd to get more Youtube $$$
>Claims to be the only non tumblrina artist and is a textbook tumblr fujo
>Generally insufferable and shitty person

Not that I'm against mannequins, but people would improve more if they used photo references of actual people. There are like a shit ton on the interwebs like pixelovely and posemaniacs (those sites even show how muscles work). And if you're lucky, you'd get into a live nude drawing session in your area.

full offense, but holly is honestly too fucking stupid to have any understanding of what she is talking about.

She is super fucking obviously a youtube-intellectual, and from her comments alone you can see her parroting the shit she's watching on youtube.

A 20k/year online art school isn't going to give her any actual ability to evaluate things with "facts, not feelings."

>>375842

Holly is also too stupid to realize that when Calarts has their Accepted Students day, they publish a full list of all the accepted students for that year and send it out to those invited.

It would not be hard to find the 2014 list that was mailed out and have proof she was lying.

I'm in that year and never actually heard anything about this list at accepted students day unless I threw it out or something. If I had it on hand, I would definitely look into it, but I honestly doubt it's a thing anybody has anymore. Especially something from 3/4 years ago.

The biggest thing that pisses me off about Holly is the fact that she does all of these fairly nice drawings from references in her sketchbooks/videos, putting in time and effort into lighting and detail.
Why doesn't she put any of that shit into her actual content? The redraw of Purgatory is a line-art-only mess, you can tell she never uses the stupid dolls when drawing her characters, and there's rarely ever backgrounds.
Like, what is her disconnect between sketchbook and actual art pieces? What a waste of time.

>it's pretty damn expensive even with financial aid since they give you barely any money.
That sucks knowing that someone is already close to their dream only to be blocked by a paywall.
Also, I hope you're doing well in Calarts, anon.

>>376971
>The redraw of Purgatory is a line-art-only mess
She mentioned before that she wanted to draw faster which would explain the messy line art she has. It sounded like a lazy excuse for me.

Also, how many pages per week does she publish anyway? Most comic artists I follow only post once or twice a week. I didn't bother reading her comic because I didn't like the premise (and her attitude doesn't help either).

>Why doesn't she put any of that shit into her actual content?

Reminds me of an acquaintance who was able to pull off a realistic drawing and when it comes to actual work she never applies what she learned. Even more awkward is that she thinks she's entitled to join the art group (comprised of semi-close friends) I was in even though we never bothered looking for new recruits (best if you have friends to form a group with and not with strangers). She also bitched about it in an open forum. In front of the 6 known artists and an audience of around 1000 people.

No. 377071

If I remembered correctly, she tried to post a new page twice a week, which then became one page a week, and now she's given up and is going to post a whole chapter at once, when she's done drawing it.

No. 377855

Holly's anatomy isn't that bad, it's her proportion that's off? Like the pieces she draw show she has a basic understanding of what muscles go where but then she distorts stuff in unappealing ways.
Also, by strictly doing anatomy studies off photos, Holly seems to have a bit of trouble capturing force in her drawings and thus ends up with stiff drawings.

No. 377895

>>377855
No, no matter how you dice this, she's still got shit anatomy. Like at best a mild understanding.

No. 377973

>>377855
I think what Holly suffers from is more along the lines of not knowing how to properly make her anatomy cartoony.
Instead of creating her style off of simplifying her irl anatomy drawings, she's trying to apply anatomy onto her "style". By keeping her misguided tries at anatomy from when she was younger and mixing it with real anatomy, her characters look more like mannequins with creepy cartoon faces slapped on (why the chin thing happens a lot - she doesn't know where to place the face on the head).
This makes her characters look distorted and gross, especially when she tries to make them move. It's like watching mannequins move; stiff and cartoony like her style, but too semi-real with wonky proportions that it looks creepy.

because to properly make your work cartoony, you need a good understanding of actual real life anatomy. i don't know why it's so hard for artists with styles that steer from realism to accept this.

>>377977
i watched that earlier today, and while she does say some dumb shit (as per usual), what strikes me the most is how she's not really doing any studies or going out of her comfort zone in this sketchbook challenge she's set for herself. she's honestly just filling pages for the sake of filling them. i predict she won't improve much of anything by the end of the month.

i think her real problem is she has absolutely no objective, critical eye. she might claim to know her art is shit, but she's unable to see where, or why, or how to fix it. she's just going to make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

That's usually what happens when you set an unrealistic amount of sketchbook pages to fill. It's best to fill 5 pages deliberately than 20 just to complete your sketchbook.

No. 378264

>>378257
yeah she had a real beef with the semantics, because "most art challenges on Youtube aren't really challenging, so they should be called something else". filling 600 pages in 30 days is certainly challenging, but she's not going to learn anything or improve, so it's pointless.

HC can't even finish her own art challenges and has zero studio experience. She also described herself as being someone who can't work with others. Studios are all about working as a team under directors and producers.
I won't say that Holly can't do concept art because I don't know that. What I do know is that when going into an interview for a job at a game studio they're looking for someone talented, capable to meet deadlines, and matches the studios culture. I just doubt that HC can meet all these expectations.

I just don't get her. Why do tons of kids follow her word like God? She's got nothing to offer and provides mediocre advice. Coupled with her not using her resources to their fullest potential.

They're young and they prolly follow only people with mediocre art because they get ~intimidated~ following professionals who offer good advice.

And it's not a shocker that so many young artists these days needs an ~art style~ to the point of ignoring to do work on their fundamentals.

far be it from me to defend Holly in any way, but she makes dirt money off Youtube - although i suppose that doesn't much matter because an online school with 100% acceptance rate can't possibly be that expensive in the first place.

unless you have very good work ethic drilled in, it's very hard to work in your own time without falling into the pit of "i'll do it later". the schedule and structure of education / another job can help a lot in, as you say, policing our tendency to slack off.

For all the people who don't want to watch 10 minutes of Holly bitching:
Holly starts the video dissing nostalgia and saying how shit it is (totally valid, at least in part).
She then starts talking about some family garbage and how she had a ton of 'culturally rich' items her family bought, and how she's so cool and interesting because she 'has that to draw from' (but only draws fujo shit, so…???).
She then gets pissy that "artists in Europe don't like to draw Europe, which is stupid because I like Europe, so fuck them".
Then she goes back on what she says by saying that "nostalgia is totally valid guys, look how cool I am for playing devil's advocate on my own video!"
And then she says that people who go to Disney Land are stupid children.
Wow, Holly cannot make an informative video about anything, apparently.

Yeah, not a swear in sight, totally scripted, but I'm unsurprised.

It's not the culture of skillshare to swear. Official guidelines for teachers specifically say you can't post explicit or offensive content, and no rants. Basically all this proves is that she doesn't care about her audience until they are directly making her money. She gets paid a small amount for teaching classes and if skillshare doesn't approve her class because she's being unprofessional and swearing, buhbye tiny paycheck.

Is English not her first language because she apparently does the same thing in her comic.

Speaking of her comic I honestly don't get how people actually read/like that thing. Even ignoring the art, the story is just so bad? Like don't get me wrong the whole 'forbidden love in a cult' premise had potential but the pacing is just so bad and the characters are just so bland. The only real positive thing about her comic is the world building but even that barely makes it into the actual comic itself. Hopefully her new comic won't be as bad.

See I would even be willing to forgive the anatomy and perspective errors if the style was at least interesting but it's just so boring and unoriginal? I mean at least the original one shot she made was interesting to look at but this?

A strong story and well developed characters could have also saved the comic because I have actually enjoyed webcomics that had 'worse' art than her webcomic but had pretty good writing to make up for it.

You can have bad art or bad writing, not both.

Didn't Holly say she wrote the script out for Purgatory already? I always get confused because she constantly changes her mind about stuff like how she changed her mind about making thumbnail sketches first.

Whiting out this shit when you digitize the drawing is literally the easiest thing ever. Unless she has some sort of weird complex where she thinks editing a scanned image is cheating, why not take the time to clean up ALL the marks instead of just whiting out the background and praying for the photoshop gods to do the work for you?

(I'm assuming this was a scanned drawing instead of created digitally. If this was done straight to digital and she still fucked this up, then she's even stupider than I thought.)

In this livestream (sorry, not letting me embed for some reason), you can see that she just takes the old files and draws over the top of them.
I would say this is actually a fairly good tool to improving anatomy, since she's working directly off of old anatomy and can see what's wrong, but she does some really infuriating things, like using a really soft drawing tool that makes her lines so blurry she literally has to shave them down using an eraser tool, or not using straight edges for some objects (like the ladder) and using it for others (the wood beams near the skulls).
>383001
I'm guessing this is why she doesn't notice the open eyes still being visible; she's drawing on top of another picture without bothering to check if it looks good after deleting what's underneath.

Watching Holly's recent video - sounds like she really isn't getting anything out of her studies. She sounds so close-minded about it. With art school you can only get from it as much as you put in. And as far as I'm aware, she studies online? She needs to get the fuck off her computer and go into a class room where people talk about their work and offer critique and advice and encourage her to experiment. She's so proud of 'challenging' herself with 600 pages in a month - but she isn't, because she's just drawing the same shit over and over again, just quicker and less detailed.

Her work is just going to stay stagnant (and shit) if she keeps this obnoxious, insular attitude.

Eh, there's a few critiques of the art (like the dumb faces and outfits), but this early on in Purgatory's creation (the review was written before Holly even finished the rape scene), the art wasn't as bad as it is now. It actually had some flair back then.
God, I really hate how bland and disgustingly boring her art is now. Even when her old art was at its wonky-est, it was cute and cartoony. Now it's all big chins, no shading, copy-paste backgrounds, and has all those photoshop errors like the missing lines. It doesn't help the atmosphere the review praises at all.

I feel like webcomics usually can get away with 'bad art' as long as the story/writing is good but the reverse is not nessearily true. Art style is usually something that initially hooks a new viewer but it isn't enough to keep someone invested in your comic if the story sucks or if your update schedule is shit.
With Holly her writing and art really isn't that great but from what I have heard her update schedule is pretty consistent so I kinda understand why people read her comic?

I was monitoring the server for milk and it had calmed down so it was mostly her (clearly really young) fan base talking about drawing.

My impression was that Holly was trying to use the discord server to just house PDFs/resources, appointed mods when it got insane with gore etc. on Friday, and then got mad when mods set up channels for talking??

Is it just me, or does Holly show up and leave an essay in just about every 'known' youtuber's comments section?

This is from a video Mr Enter (autist lolcow in his own right) uploaded today. He was whining about how much people make fun of him, RebelTaxi/Pan Pizza chief among them. Last time I checked Holly was pals with Pan, so it's pretty amusing to see her in the comments of someone Pan actively doesn't like.

How was Holly's behavior before she hit 100k subs on youtube? I have a sneaking suspicion that she wasn't nearly as cunty as she is now before she became 'known'. Now it seems like all she wants to do is distance herself from her former friends and rub shoulers with as many popular youtubers as possible.

Lo and behold a couple of weeks later I saw how poorly she reacted to critique and realized she would never really improve until she checked her ego.

Nothing in this drawing makes sense.

Yeah seriously, I don't know what happened to her for her to take the sink into the stiff pit she's currently stuck now.

She still has at least some form of contact with her parents because she was over at their house visiting some time ago, her biological dad seems to be in advanced stages of cancer or something like that.

I think she hyperfocused on trying to fixed perceived flaws like her art lean that she lost track of actually made her work good in the first place. Like the main problems with her stuff now is that it looks very stiff and that the figures don't really interact with the environment well. These problems probably arose due to the fact that she likely spent hours drawing from maniquines rather than drawing from life. It is obvious Holly is putting time into her craft (unlike some YouTube artists) but her efforts are pointless if she keeps ignoring fundamentals and keeps avoiding actually learning some basic art theory.

Pan's not cow-worthy but he is a bit cringe at times. It's obvious that he's one of those guys who is kind of awkward and maybe not so social in person but builds up this 'cooler' persona online.

His podcast is significantly harder to watch than his videos thanks to how awkward his co-hosts can be, but they're not exactly dripping with milk.

You ever think Holly makes all these tutorial vids full of crap advice to try and sabotage any possible competition?

We've all heard that she's a terror to her current and former friends, yet she seems awfully keen on making nice with youtube artist much more popular than she is (Baylee, Lemia, Pan).

Every time she does good colour it's obviously accidental. I swear to god, was pisses on her colours as soon as she's done. Like, why does she do a yellow wash on everything?

This scene doesn't even require it tonally, so it's not even an attempt to give mood in a lazy ass way. If you want a yellow looking palette , build one. Don't just piss on your canvas.

I fucking can't get over people saying she's good with colour. If it isn't basic as fuck, she doesn't know what she's doing.

Sucks that Holly ignored that one guy's comment (clarifying about Jake Parker saying that he's not discouraging digital artists from doing what they are comfortable doing, but rather encouraging them to do actual inking as a way to improve) in her previous video. And judging by this video she is still salty about it and feels as though she is "above" doing inktober only because she can do it.

Jeez, Holly, when will you get glasses to see how fucked up your anatomy is. You're no Kim Jung Gi.

Here’s her animatic on instagram :
https://instagram.com/p/BZzRLqpgMT4/

As always I’m not a fan of Holly’s character design and her staging of her characters. The whole thing feels floaty and there’s only this mid shot of the one character. Could have been more dynamic to see a full shot to understand where the placement of characters are in this scene. I don’t think HC would do that kind of cut away since that might be harder to draw than that lazy mid shot.
Also she traced the movement of the flag. I have no argument with rotoscoping to learn to animate a more natural movement but if she just would have actually studied the movement and animated that flag using her style that movement wouldn’t be so jarring.
Over all Holly is rushing through this to finish before the trend dies.
Holly Brown, you’re lazy and a try-hard.

No. 398150

After that moving shot of the ship and the flag, the rest of the animatic is so boring. It's just a character standing there in the middle of the frame. What's the point of the setting when the character is just spazzing around looking at the camera?

Looks like Holly is entering Jazza's animation contest. Judging from all the WIPs she has been posting on her twitter I have got to say that her animation isn't as bad as it could be? Like her timing is completely off and she doesn't apply a lot of the basic principles of animation so everything looks a bit wonky but she isn't really cutting corners like a lot of beginners usually do. I feel like Holly is the perfect example of someone working harder and not smarter.

I’m more disappointed that she’s going to color it in the style she has. I describe her shading and coloring style as “lumpy and clumpy”. Really wish she would use differing line weights just to make her characters a little more fun to look at…

According to her it was an anatomy course for animators and judging from her skill in both anatomy and animation I really doubt they taught much of either in that class. Also, judging from the assignments she posted in that video, it doesn't seem like that class taught any of the fundamentals of animation (ie we don't see the classical flour sack exercise that teaches you weight or the bouncing ball exercise that teaches you timing). Also, unlike making comics, Holly doesn't claim she's a master at animation or even give cringy animation advice (yet atleast) so for now I'm just going to stick to complaining about her awful attitude and ugly art/comic work.

The subject matter doesn’t bother me because watermarks and shit isn’t something that any good artist worries about.

I’m more frustrated at how HC said she was going to regularly post when we all know damn well she’s not going to. I know this bitch has school and stuff. Holly did say she was going to work on her comic (which she has only finished two pages) instead of inktober. This isn’t really milk but I just see a pattern with Holly. She says she’s going to do something but never finishes. Holly then has no problem passing her criticism on other artist when she doesn’t have her shit together.

Why is her character's bangs covering the camera ? Why is she looking up to the top left but pointing her camera elsewhere ?

Also Holly's pacing is so bad. It's been 3+ weeks and absolutely nothing has happened in Paranormal Plague. She did not need to waste 3 pages setting up Hershel's situation especially since none of the pages actually add anything new.

I don't think Tetsuo is meant to look "good" though. If they wanted him to look more generic/handsome they obviously would have been capable of drawing him that way. Besides, I thought that it was kind of emphasizing his age since kids tend to have bigger foreheads (yeah, he's 15, but still, to me it emphasized how fucked up what's going on is because he does look more like a young kid).

Just my two cents on it. I don't think that it's an improvement to make his face larger personally, it makes him look more generic, and it also wasn't a "mistake" as Holly seems to see it as, it was a conscious character design choice.

So in the video of her coloring his lineart he pointed out in her comment section that it had been an active choice to make the arm huge. She got a lot of shit for changing it at the time because she hadn't contacted the artist or like any normal human being left it the fuck alone because it's a collab piece. Anyways she's since deleted the video but if someone saved it please by all means post it.

there's no specific criteria for sexual content so long as it's not present in G-rated work, and i doubt anyone asked her to rate Purgatory NC-17 because they considered the sexual abuse of a minor to be porn. either she doesn't know what it fully means, which would be the usual, or she's purposefully being misleading to place herself in the right, which i wouldn't put past her.

For those wondering what would be considered sexual assault in her comic…her character Simon is told to strip by an older male teacher. When he tries to flee he’s smacked to the ground choked with the older man sitting on top of him. The man begins to undress Simon saying something about how he always wanted to be with Simon’s mother and he reminds him of her Blah blah.

Holly is now thinking of tackling a 4 minuet short film featuring the character in this model sheet (picture related). In her own words Holly said “a lot of people judge my animations 400 times harder than my normal work”, so I guess instead of doing any actual animation study she’ll just go full retard and try something beyond her skill level. What a “genius”

No. 411965

It’s ambitious. One of the fastest ways to learn to do something is by actually doing it. The animation is probably going to end up being kinda amatuer but if Holly actually take criticism for once she probably will improve. Highly doubt that will happen though.

I agree with you. You have to fail to succeed but in Holly’s case if she can’t handle criticism then I wouldn’t recommend trying to be an animator. Holly has a lot to learn about working with a team and her own work ethic if she’s thinking about a career in animation. I’m not saying that she doesn’t have the potential. That’s up to her but what I am saying at her current level her portfolio wouldn’t get a second look.

I have 3 observations about Holly’s current creative endeavors:

1) Those animated films for Les Goblines are not just made by one student. 2 to 3 students are working on those and that’s not including the voice work and sound design.
2) The film is most likely the only thing they’re working on for a year and it’s non-stop work to get it finished.
3) Holly has not shown that she understands motion or 12 basic principles of animation. She’s still learning and Holly should put more effort in the assignments she has for school before trying her hand at these personal projects.

I foresee Holly getting burned out on these personal projects and having an episode over the stress of not meeting her time limits. Holly’s time management is in question here and based on her upload history I don’t entirely think she’s capable of any of this. Just a reminder cause HC talks a bit game but Holly’s still a student and has no studio experience.

Urgh not to repeat what others have said but Les Gobelins is an insanely competitive school so not only do they take the best students, they have awesome teachers and people work like crazy there.

Yes and no. If you just rush through something without reflecting on it, it's not going to help you. Look at her Sketchbook Slam challenge. It definitely didn't help her with anything and was just a waste of time.

She also kinda just jumped into her animated dance sequence and it's very bad. She said it would take her at least a year anyway, so I doubt it'll happen.

Um…Holly dear, no. It is absolutely not. As an animation student myself, I can already tell how difficult this is going to be for her. Lineless drawing, not animating, DRAWING is already difficult enough as it is - and animating each part? Goodness. I'm guessing she's thinking of animating it with bones and tweens? That's the only possibly way that lineless might be easier to do.
Also…does anyone notice that his left tricep is wider than his right? And his forearm is also wider but his hand is smaller on his left?

Yes Holly. Schools have a "yearly film" that are the showcase of their studies throughout the year. How much have you studied animation? Are you even studying it? Do you even know the fundamentals? Also there's more than one student who works on one film, unless they're really ambitious (but usually they're on the shorter end). Yes it is possible to do it, yes you can do it. However, it being successful and pleasing to the eye is an entirely different cup of tea.

I'm literally facepalming over here. The fact that you have no lines does not mean your animation process will be any easier. You'll need to block in the colors, each separate color, as well as add the lines where body parts meet for more clarity.
It does NOT make the animation process easier, although it might for someone who actually knows how to use the shapes and what shapes the body is made out of. Holly, you don't have this knowledge. The example picture is squashed, her head is the size of her ribcage, she's leaning off to one side and is not grounded in that scene and she looks so out of place! Plus, her chest seems to be facing us while her head is facing the side - I really don't think that was her intention. It looks really awkward because 2/3 of the body is facing the side and it's just the chest facing us. Super unnatural.

The background is really nice though? What the heck? Did she actually draw that because it's super good.

You have a point. However, that would be different if she was actually putting 100% in the beginning and was burnt out toward the end.

I actually agree with Holly. As someone who draws comics, you have to accept imperfections so you can actually finish your shit and produce new works, and trying to make something perfect will stifle room to experiment.

You're 100% correct about the telling sign of an artist being full of themselves. Whining every time they get critiqued or tough loved, then trying to guilt you or make you pity them because you were cruel enough to give them critique. A lot of artists are dumb enough to take critiques as personal attacks. They'll never make it that way because in the industry, art directors and other artists are going to critique you a lot. Whining like a little bitch about it is only going to get the artist fewer jobs and a bad reputation.

She can't take critique at all. Sometimes you can tell when an artist is never gonna make it.

Yeah, I think it's a bit of both. Like comics is more an industry for making stories independently. Competition is rough and you only do it because you love it. As for illustration I've had an equally hard time getting involved with it in any major way. Animation I have no experience with…

But if she's seriously looking for an easy in to an art career she should just consider the design path. The market is large and tech people actually pay. At least that's been my experience.

Like with most of Holly’s “character design” it’s never a solid design that carries from one drawing to another. It’s pretty floaty and unappealing. HC is trying to push emotion with out knowing how a face works or how to make something fun to look at. Like in the picture posted Holly worked really hard to make something that looks funny or relatable but it comes off like she’s trying too hard to be funny.

Now, I really smell bullshit on this "PS HAS ONION SKINNING I NEVER KNEWWW", I bet she actually look up animation guides on youtube, realized she was doing it all wrong, pretended she knew it all along and came with the bullshit excuse that what she actually didn't know was that PS had onion skinning.

True, unless you're incredibly famous or loaded enough to turn down jobs, you will never only design what you like, be it illustration or graphic design (I worked in both).

Most clients want something that looks like the most popular app/website/style at the moment. You can only take so much liberty, it really depends on the client and trust me they have godawful ideas at times.

I don't even see a niche where her weird drawing style would fit, definitely not kid stuff or magazines illustrations and those two are what illustrators end up doing cause there's a pretty high demand.

I agree with both points. However, the only reason it even remotely looks better is because of the crutches she's leaning on. It makes animation easier.
The timing is better due to the fact that she's using audio, Jazza's challenge only mentioned a few details on what the rhythm was. By using audio it's so much easier to find timing because you have the time of the file as reference - just draw the face around the moving mouth and act it out, it's not too hard.
I want to see her try and animate another full body without dialogue to help, there inlies if she truly learned from her mistakes.
I call bs on her not knowing about the onion skin tool. If someone really took animation they would know what onion skins are - and me personally with that knowledge would research if my main program has that. OR ya know, lower the opacity of the layer below and the layer above. That's technically onion skinning though it is a tad more tedious.
So either she's bullshitting that she didn't know or she's bullshitting that she took animation classes, either one is bullshit.

No. 414450

You called it. She admitted it was traced from a photo she took in her new vlog.

Also looks like Holly is going to do mostly animations from now on. I wonder how this will affect her fanbase. I know a good amount of people follow her because they want to make a webcomic or they are mostly interested in starting up a online store/selling art. Then again the standards for the youtube animation community are kinda low. Holly will probably end up gaining a few fans if she does the stupid animation memes and continues making animatics for popular musicals.

Isn't that something you should avoid?
I mean, self inserts just mean you lack originality so much that you have to just use yourself as a character to fill in some cast quota. It's not something to be proud of.
Sure, character designers put an aspect of themselves or take inspiration from other people when making characters – but they only put one aspect in there, not their entire persona.
Saying one of the characters is a self insert is basically saying that they were too lazy to create one from scratch.

Holly, queen of hypocrisy. In her new vlog sometime around 13:00-13:40 she says she doesn't want to have to rush her comics for a weekly deadline.

I don't what what was Holly's intention, but animating only the eyes can make the drawing look very wooden. I don't recommend animating only one part of the drawing, it's more work to redraw the whole thing? Yes, but it looks better that way.

Her new art style is just so flat and unoriginal. For someone who mockingly insults people for drawing in the Steven Universe or 'tumblr style'. Her style/work is so derivative and typical of those things.

Who even holds a phone like that in real life?

Again she is going into Animation for the wrong reasons- like oh because it's better money then comics. Like dude no one goes into the art industry because they want to be rich, you do it because you love making art,the starving artist stereotype is quite real.

The thing is tho, is that she's aware of the starving artist stereotype.

All the expensive equipment is so annoying too because there's this thing called "buying used." You could test out an old version of a tablet (or lets say a cintiq that someone dicked around with for a month and covered in shitty stickers) for a fraction of the cost.

I get buying new equipment, don't get me wrong. But if you're constantly trying out different things searching for one you like, used is a way smarter way to experiment.

Also, when you live at home with your mom $6000 isn't a big savings. As soon as you move out hidden costs and emergencies will eat it up quick (especially with unstable income). Stop wasting it on shit you don't need.

The new car thing drives me crazier than the new tech holy shit…

And when she's like "The bigger ipad was only $10 more. Yeah! $10 more/month. Wtf, that's basic math. I'm a math retard and I get that shit. And if you're swindled by that I can't wait to see what the car dealership convinces her to buy. Watch her think new cars are sooo muuuuch cheaper because she shops by monthly payment, never adds it up and forgets about interest costs.

I can't. I can't watch this anymore. I KNEW she was going to reference Ed, Edd n' Eddy I KNEW it.
Hey Holly, this "wiggle" animation you think you've "invented" – it's not a new thing. The wiggle you see isn't intentional and it isn't for that effect, it's literally just to show movement in a static picture because it makes things look more organic! Fuck this bitch is stupid.
Animators do this constantly because literally NO ONE can make every single fucking line perfect every time they do another frame. Yes they DO onion skin it, they don't do your barbaric "keep drawing over the sketch" shit because your lines will deviate from whatever you've done no matter how steady your linework is. If you look closely in ABSOLUTELY ANY ANIMATION EVER, you can see the fine differences in linework whenever a character moves. The only reason you can see it primarily in Ed, Edd n' Eddy is because the lineart is very sketchy and uneven as it is – and so it makes it almost impossibly to retrace the lines exactly.
Please do NOT try to teach animation when you so clearly have no idea what you are talking about, thank you.

As for Holly saying her style is too 'anime', the only real similarities I see between Holly's art and Japanese Animation are the shortcuts they both use (ie defining characters by superfluous things such as hair styles rather than actually taking the time and effort into creating a good character design) Unfortunately Japanese Animation as an actual reason they do this (it saves them money) whereas Holly is just being lazy.

What-
Scaring them away how exactly? There's a reason there's not a lot of animators online, well a few reasons actually.

1) Ever since YouTube changed their ad algorithm to give you money based on how long people have watched instead of views, most of the good animators stopped using that platform because it wasn't profitable since anything 10 minutes and over would take absolute MONTHS to complete. Sometimes even a year depending on how many people are on a team.
2) The animators are probably working more now on projects and with contracts rather than generating free content. Some animators went the easy route and just started gaming or podcasting because animation didn't generate enough income.
3) Their videos may now be subscriber based on Patreon, so you'd have to be a patron in order to view whatever videos they create. And this is totally okay, why? Because now they're getting the financial support they NEED to make animations.

YouTube has been killing animators ever since they introduced the new system. THAT is why you don't see them much anymore. YouTube is now in favor of gaming streams and vlogging streams, a lot of animators on YouTube know this. Why do you think nowadays "animation" on the platform are those static images that move sometimes with the mouth fully animated? (i.e. JaidenAnimations, TheOdds1Out, etc.) Because it takes so much less time and care to "animate" this way. Plus you can meet the over 10 minute quota fairly easy to get your ad revenue.

Animators are not SCARED, Holly. They're just being put into a corner by minuscule funding because guess what – animation doesn't pay the bills. The only time I can see it paying said bills is if you're working at somewhere like DreamWorks or Disney, ya know, professional places. But even then you're working grueling hours trying to finish projects.

I really hate when she starts trying to talk generally about animators like she is one. She doesn't know the first thing about what being an animator is like. Animators have thick skins from years of critique – they aren't going to be "scared away" by a few online comments on their YouTube video, that's nothing to them in comparison to how scary the bigwigs that hold their contract are.

A word for Holly,
Don't you DARE put words in the mouths of others when you don't know and don't care to actually RESEARCH things.

Another word for Holly,
Fuck you.

This is literally all my feelings when she talks about publishing and comics. She knows a bit more about it than she does animation, but holy shit she's retarded about it in general.

It's like, I publish shit and I still don't really have a grasp on things. I'm just creative talent. I know a lot about what's going on but I defer to my team constantly. I don't know
the first thing about calculating a print run and co-ordinating with book stores and bs. I'd never pretend that I do. Even back when I did self publishing I had a community (an editor and beta readers and people that have tested the waters to give advice).

This makes me think that she actively reads these threads and pretends like she doesn't care but is secretly among us trying to white-knight without seeming too suspicious so she throws in a few hateful comments about herself here and there.

That or she just reads this thread a lot and gets pissed whenever she reads another critique so she goes "I'll show those fuckers they're wrong!!!" And produces another tutorial video.

I really can't see her, with how she handles critique, not caring about this thread and actually taking what we say as "free critique" when she can't even take the free critiques people give her.

I went to an event where a storyboard artist with DreamWorks talked to us about the industry. When asked what qualities the company looks for when they hire he said they have to be two of these three things:
>Fast
>Good (Talented)
>A person with a good personality to work with and ability to take critique
But, he also mentioned that those aren't really the case. He EMPHASIZED the third case. If you don't have a good personality to work with nor can you take critiques, you will be overlooked unless your art is fucking substantial and you're super fast at churning out drawings.

This is why Holly will never make it in the professional art world no matter how much she tries to argue that she is one. Her personality is absolute garbage and she can't take genuine critique.

Wow, didn't expect to find such an active thread about her when I googled her. Personally, I don't hate her or her art but I have to agree with a lot of the critique given on this thread. I think her technique is good (like painting technique, sketching habits, etc) but general anatomy and proportions are really off, yeah.And I see how she can come off as snotty and rude (after all that was the impression I had of her for months). She's still kind of young so maybe she'll mature as time goes on. I hope. I mean once she enters the real art industry she kind of has to start accepting the critique given to her or else not be able to get a job then.

she really needs to take more time on her drawings. I read an interview with a character design artist and he talked about coming back to the drawing the day after to get a fresh look at it.

I don't even know where she's trying to get at in all of her weird rambling. So is anime cool ? Is it not ? Who is she criticising, the teachers or the students drawing anime ?

Teachers don't like anime drawings because it doesn't help you develop your own style, that's it. People rely mainly on copying stuff that already exist with crazy anatomical mistakes instead of trying to draw more 3D stuff.

If you see someone in your class drawing the typical anime style, it just screams "I haven't reacher maturity yet and won't step outside my comfort zone" which is critical for art students and that's why teachers usually give you varied media exercises.

Now a lot of teachers are old school and close minded but they aren't totally wrong. It has nothing to do with wether they know how to draw or not which is a really weak point. Studying art history and how to dissect a drawing/painting takes time and is very valuable to criticize other people art in a good meaningful way.

I study fine art and I can tell you that no one working on my course would categorise Holly's drawings under the term 'fine art'. They're illustrations and most of the time they're not very good or innovative. Her practice seems much more design based - like graphics. In my university graphics and illustration are kept separate from the fine art. Maybe this is different in the states?

Jesus christ it's no wonder art teachers are so crazy. I have a friend who has a college art class, and theres a kid who draws furries in diapers(not in class thankfully) and when he attempts to do realism it's absolutely awful.
The professor can only suggest so much but the kid thinks he's too good for her advice. LIKE, art teachers have to hold back and try not to upset anyones feelings because then THEY look like a bully.

These kinds of videos are starting to drive me nuts, you're not supposed to draw anime in art class because you need to learn fundamentals first. Weebs just love being victims tho; "My art teacher hated me!?" "My art teacher failed me for drawing anime!?".

If you love the style, incorporate some things about it into your own style instead of drawing like a damn 14 year old for the rest of your life.

Off topic, but there are actually several successful western Anime-styled artists out there. The difference between them and people like Holly/Lemia/Crilley is that they actually know their fundies and have polished their craft. Pic related is from Devil's Candy, an American artist's webcomic who's actually been professionally hired to do draw manga-esque graphic novels and illustrations.

Yeah same. I actually read a pretty good chunk of it and barely even remember what the plot was supposed to be. I think the problem is that there isn't really one, there's just a bunch of vaguely important scenes and the rest is pretty much filler that doesn't add anything to the story. The pacing of that whole thing is just so fucking awful.

The worst thing about this is that the idea itself sounded like something that had potential to be interesting, Holly just ruined it by adding so much filler shit that the actually important scenes lose their impact as well. E.g. if she started the comic with the human sacrifice scene or even the one where they were exploring that creepy dungeon, if would have been a decent and interesting beginning that would have pulled readers into the story. Instead we got a bunch of characters talking about shit nobody cares about and a singing contest or whatever the hell that was.

The entire comic is now what, almost 300 pages long? She could probably shorten it down to less than 100 and the story would benefit from it because nothing fucking happens in those 300 pages. Most of it is either filler shit or exposition at times where there's no need for that amount of exposition.

Also her main characters are shit and I have no idea how she could improve them, their personalities and roles in the story just seem incredibly boring to me.

Sorry for the rant. I think the guy linked here >>384341 also made some good points on why the whole thing sucks.

Idk why but I kinda want to see the art prof critique H.C's profolio type of thing.Tbh if you really wanna learn from someone who gonna tell it like it is I recommend Art Prof she does all the profolio critiques and such !I used to like H.C for a good while but something just rubbed me the wrong way , plus I noticed her style starting to get stiff and that disappointed me very much :( plus she needs to check her attitude at the door if she plans on working at an studio type setting.
