Thoughts on the recent pushback against flipping your artwork? It started primarily as pushback against the tweet on the left about the recent new starter Pokémon having a wonky eye. Although, I really don't understand why people are genuinely getting mad about it. It's always been a helpful tip when I do it.

>>1079579>it's not mandatory to fix every minor mistakeIt is if you're doing commercial work and you're serious about your art. Obviously no one's going to be perfect but you should strive to improve. These people say shit like this because they don't actually work as an artist, they just doodle shit and demand everyone to like their works despite the mistakes.
Flipping the canvas works very well if you do it every once in a while to check if there are any wonky parts you're not seeing normally, but it becomes useless if you do it too much.

given that a majority of people didn't notice until someone started a trend to nitpick, it really is a minor mistake. Though you should fix mistakes when you can, art is inevitably going to have imperfections so long as it is made by a person.
Even when it is edited, the change is so barely noticeable you take an L by saying it's better than the original.

>>1084235I've been using tablets for a long time and have done a lot of research into it myself trying to decide what to buy, so I hope my responses will help you make a decision on what to buy:
>1.Do you feel like a big tablet is a must or is a small one fine for hobby purposes?I'll always suggest at least a M sized intuos tablet or bigger, anything smaller and you're going to fuck up your wrists eventually. Bigger tablets are the way to go whether you're pro or just a hobbyist, they help you draw with your elbows and shoulders.
>2.If your tablet has no screen do you use the bluetooth mode often?I have a cintiq now but I had an intuos for the longest time, honestly this isn't even a real factor for me since you're probably not going to be that far away from your pc whenever you're drawing anyway, and you gotta plug it in to charge. I will say that the battery (on the intuos 5 at least) lasts a really long time though, so if this is something you want, there's that. P.S. even on my cintiq I frequently switch to screenless mode and draw like that, in case this info is useful to someone out there.
>3.Which do you like more: a screen tablet like a cintiq or a standalone device like an iPad?This is very much a personal preference thing, after getting my ipad I drew everyday on that thing, but immediately upon getting a screen tablet I neglected my ipad for 2 years since I prefer working on a computer, plus I don't like having to wait to draw after a couple of hours while the ipad is charging. You CAN draw while it's charging but it makes the touch screen and palm rejection all fucky on mine, and it gets pretty warm. It really depends on your needs, do you need a proper work space/efficiency? a tablet for your pc might be better. Are you looking to draw casually on the couch most of the time or do you want to do digital art outside? An ipad will serve you well. As for how to choose ipad sizes, pick one that's similar in size with the sketchbook size you're most comfortable with. I have a 10.5in ipad pro and it's nice because it's not too big to draw on the train and it's light enough to bring it around and draw at a cafe with friends.
Bonus information since this is already so long, if you're deciding between wacom or other brands like huion/xp-pen, the main BIG difference imo is the IAF (Initial activation force). The IAF on wacom feels much, MUCH nicer and you'll really notice a difference if you have a light hand. However, it doesn't mean xp-pens/huions are unusable, if you draw with a regular amount of force you probably won't even notice the difference, and even if you do, you can somewhat compensate it by messing with the pressure curves, this is a just so you know thing.

Do any anons have experience with selling on Redbubble and could help me out? Specifically with color settings, their page is a little confusing in that regard. It seems like they want you to design in CMYK and then save as a png, which would turn the image into RGB because png doesn't support CMYK. But shouldn't that png also differ in color from the final print then? Or would that be a smaller difference than designing in RGB and then printing and that's why it's better? Or do you usually just design in RGB and then correct it later? Sorry, my understanding of this is kind of limited, I get why the colors would differ but I haven't made prints yet so I'm unsure of how it'd play out in practice or if I'm worrying to much about it.

>>1085294Also her delusion about her health is stupendously amusing. She's blaming hack pain and kidney problems because of the car accident she was in back in 2019 as well as some previous job she had years ago (which I'm sure was just normal retail that required standing and bending, she didn't really say)
But she isn't even attempting to see that maybe, just maybe it's also because of her morbid obesity? We're seen her in her Ren faire video, she is more than overweight and she's getting older and having to carry a substantial amount of weight as you get older is bound to bring problems related to the back, knees, and overall joints.
I hope she eventually stops making excuses and really buckles down on her weight loss goals because she can only use the car accident thing for so much when it's not the only factor that's contributing to her physical pains.

Sorry if you want me to move this question to another thread.. but if I wanted to pay someone to draw sketches of my dumb dog who passed, how should I navigate it? Should I order on a site like etsy?
Heres the weirdo.
And also, what would be fair pricing for a few different goofy expressions and maybe a inside joke phrase. Could I also ask for a digital copy, so i could make lil gifts for my family? (Like if I had shirts made, as a xmas gift)
As long as i dont profit off of the image- is that ethical?
No. 1088161
>>1088140There's many different sites
nonnie, it all depends on the style you want. I'm going to assume realistic since that's most common, Etsy is usually good, Fiverr is also a common site or you can find an artist through social media and see if their commissions are open. The pricing depends on skill, talent, etc. so I think for something realistic $50 is on the lower end, but for multiple images you'd probably have to pay more. I think most artists are okay with personal use but ask beforehand. Communicating as much as possible with your artists is key and helpful for the both of you. I hope you find a great artist to commemorate your adorable dog!

This lets her say shit, and delete, so in short, in a two faced way she can keep her two accounts of Twitter and weibo without consequences. Apparently it has spilled over a few times, but nothings came off it since Rei’s a big artist, very weird she’s crazy about “copying,” considering her style is broadly a trendy style that I’ve seen many well skilled artists do, her art is undeniably pretty but her attitude isn’t.

Besides the other nona is right, it's fairly common for brush artists to make their brushes available in one way or another so it's like, perfectly reasonable to expect them to release something to the public even more if they keep showing it off and going on about how great it is. It's as if a merch artist kept showing off their new enamel pins but never put them up for purchase even though they're known for doing it.
Also, not everyone knows how to make a brush that's actually good. Making a brush is easy, making one that can actually mimic oil paint blending with correct texturing without it seeming fucky or too blurry for example is a challenge even with youtube tutorials around.

>>1096810>And learn how to make brushes. Don't coddle these people.ah yes because learning how to make a GOOD brush is sooooo easy. anon, there's a reason why brush artists make a living in the first place. making brushes that are actualy good and helpful is quite hard. sure, you can sit and make a little custom or a simple brush yourself, but it'll be nothing compared to a brush made by an artist who specializes in making them. MAINLY if you're an artist who hasn't mastered the textures that…you know…you want a brush for exactly so that you can learn how to make said texture. if anyone could just do a brush that perfectly mimics certain textures or effects then brush artists wouldn't exist or wouldn't make money like they do. why pay for a brush pack if i can make it myself for free?
honestly you sound like some angry brush artist that's pissed off that someone dared to feel upset that some brush artists love to show off brushes they know are good to the public and then never make them available.

Artfol had a kickstarter and I just saw it fell pretty short of its goal.

>>1106229I think a lot of newer artists (and some veterans too, mind you) have issues with how internet spaces work for art in general.
People are being introduced to hundreds if not THOUSANDS of pieces of artwork a day. There is such an oversaturation of artwork online it's impossible to avoid. The competition to even get a crumb of engagement is fierce. Most people are only going to engage with art on a surface level basis because there's
so much of it. They'll go, "cool pic" like and move on. Rarely do people share art themselves or even comment (but I know some of these people would complain regardless because they didn't do it the "right" way, but I digress).
You got to give people a reason to stay. Art isn't always "hashtag relatable" memes that people actively
want to share. And because of that, some people are going to be turned off by it. It is what it is. Twitter favors bite-sized posts anyways so that you can quickly engage with content and move on. It's not really made for long-term interactions or deep analysis. If you want more of that, you're better off on a forum or DA as despite those platform's flaws.
No. 1107281
>>1106376This is very true, overstimulation has killed art consumption. To get engagement, you have to give people more than just a pretty picture.
Normies don't care that you rendered a hand perfectly, have perfect anatomy and color, or you have the bestest figure drawings in your class. You need to give them a story, this is why fanart will always work. Or give them something that is visually pleasant to look at, this is why girls/plants/pastels/cute work. Give them hashtag relatable. Give them furries or porn. If your art falls outside these categories you won't be popular online. This doesn't mean you'll never have any audience, you just need to work harder to find the audience interested in your work.
Numbers are not a direct correlation to money earned, so I don't understand artists who whine about numbers.
No. 1107501
>>1106376>>1106229The main issue with this thread is that realistically, not everything is going to be liked or tweeted because people are exposed to so much.
The thread has some good points but it ultimately comes off as entitled and guilt-trippy.
There's an overlooked point to be had in that the algorithm, even if you follow someone, even if you have notifications turned on, will just… not show you their content. If you don't interact (like, comment, etc.) then it isn't uncommon for the algorithm to just push them off your feed. The algorithm has made it to where it is hostile towards both artists and consumers considering the number of consumers who complain that the people they want on their feed are not there but they constantly get stuff they don't want to see shoved down their throat.
The algorithm strives for interaction. Sites like Instagram and Twitter are better than say Tumblr because likes actually mean something. On Tumblr, you have no choice but to reblog something because likes are not visible and YouTube is known for not showing you content from creators even if you are subbed and have notifications turned on. But that isn't the fault of consumers, it's the fault of the platform itself.

>>1107281I don't disagree with what you said, but the thing about art having to have a story to tell has always been present, just look at the greatest classic paintings, or cavemen drawings.

Yeah vanillapudingo drew coomer bait but the sentiment is still the same that the point of drawing is to be creative. i'd rather deal with coomer bait because i can just block/mute/ignore whatever i don't like as opposed to having to deal with assholes that have a stick up their ass because someone drew something "the incorrect way" and can't handle blocking/muting when they see shit they don't like.

>>1109850Seconding Ohuhu, they're especially good because they are so cheap for the amount of ink in them. I have filled almost an entire page with a single colour and it's not even a little bit dry. Their build quality is decent and the nibs feel juicier than Copics, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you're going for. However the ink quality and blendability is not as good as Copics and I think they smell worse. Also their pastel colour range is nowhere near as good as Copics. Ohuhu's are very saturated and have very few truly pastel, desaturated, or light colours (so there's not really any analogues to Copic 000 and 0000). This limitation is what led me to finally investing in Copics.
Vidrel is the closest I've seen any artist come to an output similar to Copics with Ohuhus. Most work made with Ohuhus tend to be too dark and saturated. Copics let you use more layers of ink to change saturation and value while Ohuhu's get you there in two layers. This can be a pro or con depending on what you want, for me I prefer Copic's more light handed feeling where Ohuhu's get too dark too fast.
No. 1109940
>>1109850>>1109930Same anon, forgot to mention in the long term, if you use markers a lot like for your work or every day Copics are by far the most affordable option, which works out since they're also the best quality. Refilling them and being able to buy a single colour, or nib replacement instead of a whole set for a single marker is huge. I'm glad I only bought one set of Ohuhu's before investing in copics. I think I'd have regretted it if I spent any more money on amazon brands, though I think they are ok for trying out the medium if you're new to it or a casual hobbyist.
Honestly though if I were to do it over again I'd just buy 6-12 copics to start with and not spent anything on dupes.

I actually think this a really cute design- I'm a fan of baggy silhouettes and cuter characters with more almost kidcore(?) aesthetics in contrast with the sort of holographic unicorn generica Dollightful seems to fancy- but whyyyy give her a red bindi like she's a child bride?
I'm wondering if this will become another scandal like her Wendigo apology video or if most people will get over it. I think it's really odd for someone who seems committed to diverse doll customs to be so…clumsy with it?

On the topic of Dollightful, I hate her color choices. I think she's good at doll customizing- making new body parts, sewing clothes, and the faceups. Her digital art is extraordinarily good. But her colors kill me.

>>1115494That's just bad writing. It's the easiest way for like setting up a pressure cooker of drama. They're still reliant on their surroundings, usually have little to no autonomy. They are forced to go to school and interact with other characters all day that they normally wouldn't (like if it was a job they could quit/leave). They can't leave (normally don't have a car or can't drive). It's easy to make them a forgivable bad character because they're naive and young. It's just lazy writing.
Most of these adults writing for teenagers are immature adults. I rewatched Sabrina the Teenager Witch a couples years ago and she is so insufferable but I totally related to her character as a teenager. Same when reading YA novels now as a late 20 year old I just can't.

>>1117258Then why should it matter? Most teen art that is marketable is made by adults. I don't know what else you're looking for. No one is hiring kids to write batman comics about the early days of Damian or to write Rugrats. Everything you consume, as teen, is most likely written by adults or drawn by adults. Just because you grow up doesn't mean you can't also still participate in the type of art medium and design you always have, especially if you're able to market it.

>>1116852tell me you don't know what stunted development means without saying you don't know what stunted development means. Adults do not just "skip" teenage years and it is still possible to relate to a teenage character because you may have had those same feelings or thought processes when you were the same age.
>>1116854Basically. Have you seen the writing of actual children? It is atrocious 90% of the time. Adults make things for kids all the time because children can't do it themselves.
>>1117258It sounds more like you're just bored of high school settings/characters and turning it into an art issue. On a meta-perspective, there is a reason why a lot of stories feature teenage characters and it is primarily the room for growth. Yes, you can make the argument that adult characters can grow too but it isn't the same nor does it carry the same tone. In reference to anime, in particular, the reason why a lot of anime features teens or younger characters is that adult life is very "strict". There isn't a lot of room for wacky, fun, immature adventures.
Take Aggretsuko (despite the more down-to-earth setting) versus something like Toradora.
As an adult, running away to be with your crush because they're moving away is less acceptable than teenagers doing it. Similarly, Ami (blue-haired girl) would be pretty more of a gossipy bitch if she was 25 versus 15 if you kept her same personality and actions. It's a lot harder to "justify" adults getting into fights and behaving like… well teenagers versus teenagers behaving like teenagers.
As a teenager, a character probably isn't going to be thinking of marriage as a way of getting out of work because they're tired of being abused by their boss. Teenagers probably also will not consider breaking off a relationship just because they want to be married even though their partner doesn't and stand their ground when their partner says marriage isn't necessary.
And even adult characters tend to fall into the same archetypes as teenage characters. So really I don't know what response you want to "Isn't it boring to draw teenagers all the time?" because change teenagers to adults and you have just about the same issue.

>>1119077To pinpoint what may be bothering you, this is an issue many younger artists make. Their proportions will be all over the place because they're still trying to figure out how to stylize certain elements. Most of them tend to grow out of this with learning experience, but it's a common issue with beginner work.
Anime art styles, even cutesy ones, benefit from simplifying details. These include the eyes, nose, mouth, and even neck. The main issue here is that the neck is too long and thin for the head shape being used. If the head had less detail and the head was rounder, you could totally make it work, but it sticks out so much because everything else has more "details" to say the least. The coloring may be cute and easy on the eyes, but it won't really hide those mistakes. In fact, it makes them stand out even more. Which is why you immediately notice the neck first.
Now, this is far from the worst mistake I've seen artists make when starting out, but I figured I'd point it out. I'll leave an example of better stylization here:

It's boring at this point] and that's the only name I can think of right now.
Why don't you try something else if you want to appeal for money, but don't want to actually do the work. USE their work. Look into maybe voice acting scrote animations. That way you are taking advantage of existing people's platform, offering services [VA for NSFW is popular and those girls have over 50K lowest I keep seeing for the popular ones] that they otherwise would just rip from a PornHub video.
stop trying to make art specifically for them. Scrote art is disgusting, a lot of it especially involving lolicon/shotacon because it just does. If you don't want to be involved in drawing stuff like that, trying furry art is the only other thing I can think it because at least anthro isn't as in your face, IMO, as humans.

Ask for advice on art related discords, try your best to pinpoint specific problem or technique you want to learn, not just general "this aesthetic" since there may be a lot of elements combined to create it, and it may dilute your attention making it harder to learn. Simplify what you're trying to learn, don't go straight, for example, to painting entire scene with a character in it but try to apply it on the simple form like picrel first, or study just a tiny part of what you like the artist is doing, so you don't have to worry about too many things

They're like "yeah, I'm straight and super attracted to this particular type of men and I enjoy drawing them a lot, as you can tell on the rare occasion I draw one, but I'll keep putting a lot more effort into generic cartoon girls with unrealistically gigantic tits and asses that distract you from the hot guys, because I can't stop pandering to my male audience and/or I'm addicted to porn for males and have internalized male gaze, so I can't imagine drawing something that caters to my true tastes"
I know it's overly specific but it's so fucking common it hurts, it gets even more ridiculous when women with a fetish for ugly cartoon men do it because at that point they're the same as a male coomer artist
I wonder if they're just afraid of telling the scrotes to fuck off and let them draw what they really want, they're such massive pickmes it's hard to watch when they reply nicely to the gross males in their replies. Can't believe some of them are married too (actually that would make a lot of sense as it would explain why they won't draw anything that their husbands don't like)
I wonder if they even realize they're doing it, because many people use the excuse of "oh she just really likes drawing female bodies, she finds it easier to identify as the girls if they're the entire visual focus, this is obviously what she wants" even though the truth is much more obvious

>>1123366Tumblr is a good starting point if you're drawing fanart because it's the only somewhat popular social media with a tag system that works, so your stuff will actually be seen by people looking for the subject you're drawing. Instagram and Twitter are okay, but getting noticed is up to luck if there's no popular hashtag or something going around. I'd personally go with Tumblr because it's relaxed and won't cause cropping issues or destroy your images with compression. If you do a lot of original art then the other two might be better options since tumblr users have been sharing artwork less and less and there's not really an explore function like on Instagram for example.

As a former NSFW artist I can just say that. People following my account didn't know I was a woman, however there was rumors around it and I began to cash in the money with moid's need to coom on porn drawn by a woman.some of them even expected me to ERP with them or do phone sex alongside my art and would act surprised when I'd just block them after they say that they're good with my work and paid me.
I stopped drawing NSFW openly and now I just sometimes do draw request on yaoi/yumejoshi communities. I used to draw furry macro and other edgy stuff for degenerate moids. Honestly, as much as I want to say that I regret it, I did rake in so much money to pay back some of my medical bills.
Recently I've been trying to work on my own studies on STEM alongside art, i don't want to draw as a job and I'd rather focus on something more stable, so i keep drawing as a hobby. But if anything, women don't enjoy drawing porn just like porn actresses actually don't enjoy it in the studio lol. And to any aspiring nonna artist, NSFW is the easy mode to get quick clout. You can mod it by adding your pronouns in bio. Even if they think you're a tranny, moids will buy. They're just hopeless.

It low-key felt like prostitution. I found myself relating to some of cow's issues lol, so then I took a part time job that made me earn as much as my best months and I'll take back uni soon enough to pursue long studies so I can get a good job.
Also i do agree on the nonna that said that porn can be enjoyed drawing for our own pleasure and I do agree that drawing yaoi shit and fempov porn is way more fulfilling than whatever scrotes are into. I wouldn't draw big balloon girl tits however people would comm me to draw degen stuff.

There's been this trend lately of artists recreating historical pieces for the sake of clout rather than just studying them to better themselves. Everyone has to see every single thing. All it boils down to is seeking attention and calling it a 'master study'. Things like that just can't be for the sake of doing them, it's always with the intention of whether or not some strangers on the internet will give it enough likes.
I've admittedly been on a leyendecker kick but I've seen his work trending. All people wanna do is copy for clout, not because they think it'll genuinely make them a better artist. Everything's a fucking spectacle now. Artists need to relearn how to sit with their own work for one damn second without begging for validation.

They aren't for studying or learning, these people just see a pretty picture and want to do the same without any thought behind it.

>>1126175>>1125548I noticed that nowadays it’s really common for people to just copy whatever is trending, it started with tiktok when people would do the popular dance or use the popular sound track and you end up with hundreds of videos where people are just copying each other. It’s become the number one way to get noticed on social media so it’s not a surprise to see artists copying each other or using popular sound tracks to get attention. Personally the sailor moon and fallen angel trend doesn’t bother me because in some instances it is clever (I really like the Eren Yeager version) and for some people they’re stepping out of their comfort zone but I do understand the frustration especially when you realise that a bunch of artists are copying something not because they care about it (eg: I don’t think a lot of the artists that participated in the sailor moon trend are actually fans) but because it’s just trending and it’s a way to get noticed since normally what happens is that if you liked one rendition of the fallen angel then you’re bound to look for more which means an artist will most likely get noticed. It’s also something that you’re flat out told to do in online marketing workshops

how many people here have mentioned how exhausting it is to sell your soul just to get an inch in the rat race? how many people here have talked about the ephemeral nature of art on social media?
i don't participate in art trends like these and i still draw things i like from time to time, but i'm not ignorant to the fact that my followers come from my art of pretty girls and that's what gets me commissions, so as long as i want money that's what i have to keep making.
someone can spend 3 days attempting a masterpiece and get 0 followers or someone can do low-brow art for the masses and gain 100 or more. you can wring your hands at "clout chasers" but saying they all WANT to draw this stupid shit is just dumb.

it's a true sign of an amateur artist if you think social media clout = sustainable art career. few want to work to build up skills or a unique style or brand, they just want instant likes on social media. these young artists are investing their time in the wrong place if they want a real career in the art industry. but most don't, they just want social media attention, nothing wrong with that.
No. 1129027
>>1128241It's still an awful sameface imo. The Sailor Moon meme was also a parody of sorts but people at least tried doing it in their own style and giving it little twists to differ from the original and make theirs unique, but these Fallen Angel repeats are just carbon copies of each other except for character hair and skin color, they might as well just be Photoshop manipulations of the original. They don't even bother to redraw the body in their own style, they try to copy the anatomy and painting style to a T. It's literally the reverse from the Sailor Moon meme, where one tries to be unique in parodying the original the other might as well be the fanart equivalent of fast food. Some find this remarkable, I find it boring as all hell because I know the artist's getting nothing from this. They're not doing this to learn how to render realistically or better themselves, they're doing it for clout and to pretend they have a skill they don't.
TL;DR: The Fallen Angel thing being a parody doesn't excuse it from being bland and lazy as fuck. It's just amateur artists trying to get clout and attention with the least amount of effort.

>>1130021Well first off it would depend on what you're designing the character for and having an end goal in mind for said design. For example, a character for a comic or animation that you're going to be drawing over and over every page shouldn't have too much detail. Compared to something that's going to be made into a 3D model or single illustration.
Since you mentioned that you get bored of your designs try making a collection of designs that you do enjoy like the pic you included and study them. Figure out what aspects you like about them and how the artists implemented them
Then when you're ready to design a character I would recommend starting with a silhouette. A good character design can be distinguished by its silhouette alone, no matter how simple it may be. Try taking a concept artist's approach to it by making several silos as quickly as possible and choosing/combining the ones that either interest you or best represent the goal for going for your character.

of course, you have people who are overly sensitive where anything less than absolute praise brings them to tears but assuming a majority of people in their class are normal, if a critique leaves someone at the verge of tears it is probably not as "gentle" as OP thinks it is.
in both art classses I took critiques were relatively well-rounded with people voicing their opinions on stuff. I've only gotten one harsh critique where a classmate said they felt like my self-portrait was a cop-out because of the style it was in as opposed to being realistic and the professor pushed the conversation away from that since there were no criteria that the portraits had to be realistic and the critique itself offered nothing really helpful.

It might be teachers are shit at giving critiques that are actually helpful, constructive, and not coddling. I was always "really good" or I guess hard to critique that I'm paranoid I'm just fragile and won't be able to handle actual negative criticism.

>>1135086Anon that is very sweet of you!
I’ll elaborate then, the 1000 true fans thing is based on this essay:
https://kk.org/thetechnium/1000-true-fans/ the gist of it is that to live off your work you don’t need millions of followers, but only a thousand loyal fans who love your work and will buy whatever you’re creating, and come back every year for more.
A thousand loyal fans is a manageable number too, and with time you could pretty much learn the names of all your fans.
In my experience, choosing a niche that you really enjoy and cultivating loyal fans is more satisfying than trying to follow trends and gather lots of followers who aren’t too involved in what you make (because they can get the same thing from dozen different artists, and never have to pay a dime) I’m still working on this goal myself but I can already support myself, although of course I live in a cheap place and share an apartment. But it’s a start, it’s more than others have, and it’s nice to have a concrete goal!

not saying this to discourage, but when you start selling you'll notice how few people want to spend money on art, getting 100 people to spend $20 is tough. that's why so many artists go into fandom merch.

>>1133540Yeah. If you're selective about where you're going to for art school/classes and what you want to do, you'll find that critiques are relatively mixed in terms of reception.
A lot of people seem to think zoomers freaking out on social media after being given the slightest art critique is the norm, but in real life, most people tend to be rather chill unless they really have something going on.
You have extremely sensitive people who can't take a critique, but in my experience those tend to be few and far between. The critiques I received were relatively well-rounded. Of course, this depends on your professor, development of your artwork and curriculum, but I digress. The only relatively harsh critique I've gotten was when I was lazy with a project and the teach saw right through my bs. lol

Back in my DeviantART days, I only associated with 3 people and it was awesome but we eventually drifted apart and one of them trooned out and cut ties with me when I shared a support tweet for JK Rowling.
I just miss bouncing art ideas and nerding out over things we both enjoyed in fandom and not walking on eggshells. I'm a hobbyist at the end of the day so I'm not trying to get into the industry so that's why I'm not worried about getting "cancelled" tbh and all I'm looking for is at least 1-2 people I can build a bond with just like I did back in the early 2000s lol.
>>1139905>Avoid people with pronouns in bioOh for sure. I caught on to this fairly early when I joined Twitter back in 2019, I noticed that people who felt the need to put pronouns in their bios were the very people who are myopic gender weirdo or supporters.
thanks for the advice though.
>We know times are dark when we long for weebs to come backFR, I never thought I'd see the day of me admitting something like that but it really wasn't as bad as where we are now kek.

>>1139999>It was fun because we worked together on projects and interacted in a way that I just don't see anymore nowadaysEXACTLY. That's what I miss the most as well. The early days of art social media felt so carefree and people were excited to finally meet other artists who they shared interest(s) with. But things are so oversaturated now and people are engrossing themselves wokenes and gender nonsense and finding everything "
pRoBlEmAtIc" tm. It's just depressing.
>Recently someone in a Discord I'm part of told me that it was suspicious that I didn't have a Twitter account because "all artists have one" and the only ones who didn't were usually terfs or other bad people who were afraid of being called out. This was a person I only had decent conversations with until I made the mistake of showing her one of my drawings which prompted her to ask for a link to my Twitter. This new online culture is weird as fuck.Geez I'm sorry that happened.
>>1140275>I remember just finding random users on da as a teen and talking to other beginner artists and having fun just wit hthe process of creating stuffSame! I remember I would use the "browse" section and if I came across fan art that I liked, I would go to the artist's profile and engage with them and made a few friends this way. And right, I don't feel the same comfort vibes on Twitter's art scene like I did with DeviantART mainly because atmosphere of cancel-culture that it centers around.
>It does feel lonesome though but I'm wondering if it's worth all that effort trying to make friends as the drama I see on these threads that deal with ex friends are insane.I think if you can find at least 1 or 2 people you get on with who aren't engrossed in the current
toxic culture we're in at this time, it can be worth it. But I get what you mean, it just sucks because some of us do miss that camaraderie.

There's also a few good discord servers with people from all ages who just want to learn art that are pretty good. Check out Art Prof on YouTube, she has a good art community because she literally is an art professor and her goal is to teach. I know there's more discord groups like that but I can't remember their names at the moment.
Discord is not that bad of a social media tool, it's pretty good if you know where to look and what to avoid. Normie discord exists. I think it's similar to how Facebook was in its prime, only more private. The shitty meme groups are stupid just like in any platform, but when you know where to look, it becomes a helpful place full of resources.
Honestly it's zoomers/late millennials with an narcissist ego and wokeness who ruin online communities. Avoid them.

Twitter art fags and bottom of the barrel fanartists are always trying to get the jump on someone for clout that doesn't even mean anything after a week. I keep all my personal info off my profile.

I would had agree with this in the past but you have to remember that for these people if you don't agree with woke shit you are literally the devil. Plus, even if they retweet minimal woke shit, the woke shit they do post is gonna wear you out eventually, like a cup that eventually fills with water.
I think after all these years knowing I can simply disagree with people and not tell them, I've also come to a breaking point because these things feel like an annoying person constantly poking you in the arm. And it doesn't stop. They want you to react. When I went to school I would simply ignore their views and befriend people like this anyways because differences in view points enrich our lives don't they? They become interesting conversations in a mature environment. Only thing is no one is ever mature anymore, and there's no "agreeing to disagreeing" in private, it has to become public discourse somehow.
Nowadays I think I value having the same viewpoints in private as I do in public, and don't state my opinion on anything even if I'm asked. I like being congruent, or else I feel hypocrital and insane. I've purged people out of my life who are slowly becoming more extremist on both sides of the coin. It's self preservation. This is why I would also avoid people with pronouns in bio with woke content.

>>1141025I don't really care what someone may think of me. My point of view is probably different because I don't post my art online anymore, but it simply doesn't matter to me because I'm not regularly speaking to these people. I do understand your (and the anon that I replied to) point since it seems like you two want to actually have a connection with other artists, but I still think that doing all of that for every single account you follow is a little over the top. If someone retweets something that I don't agree with but I like their account otherwise, I just scroll past it. It's really no big deal to me because it's the internet and I just want to look at art.
Anyway, you're allowed to do whatever you want and I'm not saying you have to follow people you don't want to. It's just my opinion on the topic I guess.

I have social media because I need money, and I only have Instagram and my portfolio.

>>1140850>Discord with 25+ age rangeHonestly anon, I feel the same way. I have Discord but I rarely use it but if there was a server that was for artists 25+, I would join it because I feel like people around our age (30s) are not as hung up and obsessed with SJW/Gender bullshit. I mean some are but most of the ones I've seen are in their teens to early 20s.
>Gininkas & GenbderbendsHonestly fuck these people anon, you go and continue drawing these characters, they are so fun to do when in the right mood.
>>1141024I feel like it's because art sites are not as big and prominent as they used to be. It all started with Tumblr where commenting and interacting was kinda a hassle there unlike places like Elfwood and DeviantART. And then Twitter became the next place that many artists sailed ship to where communicating is even more of a hassle.
>>1141043Like I told the other anon, fuck those people. If you like drawing genderbends and gijinkas, just do them and not care if it makes gender idiots upset, that's their problem, not yours.

>>1141006I mean it was specifically to help avoid

It's not actually that much work to check, just go on their profile and there's tabs for their replies and likes that you can take a quick peek at. You can spot a genderspecial in 0.5 seconds, they WILL let you know how special they are. If you don't feel like checking and follow someone anyway you'll quickly see it all on your timeline and will know from there.
>>1141025Exactly this. I ignored the woke artists I followed for so long but they really do keep retweeting/liking harmful shit and you can't call them out at all. If you even insinuate they're maybe possibly a little bit wrong they'll have you scalped, start a cancel campaign, and try to contact your work to have you fired. And if you're mutuals and they notice you never like or repost their woke shit, you're still bad and a secret
terf who deserves the same treatment.
It eventually got very mentally taxing to constantly see them like/tweet sexist and homophobic bs belittling women in the name of trans rights, and seeing them deny basic biology, and praising kink shit as woke. I felt on edge at all times, until I started unfollowing those people. Suddenly my twitter is fun again.
No. 1141325
>>1141009There are a few good discord servers if you want to improve your art. I noticed that some people don't like mentioning which servers they're on for justifiable reasons especially if it's a small server.

No. 1141704
>>1141006 Agree with this.
Most normal people aren't going to have the time to vet through every single person they follow. At most, they'll see some eye-catching art they like, some posts from said artist off again and on again, and then move on. You don't have to agree with everything people say. You just need to determine how tolerable they are. I can deal with a cringy post from some artist once in while, just not ALL the time.
If you really REALLY want to vet people, go ahead, but I don't think it's worth the time to put every account under scrutiny. To me, actions speak louder than words. Even if you do the whole "woke" thing, as long as you aren't obnoxious, I'm not going to complain. Usually the most annoying people can be filtered out after the next big, "woke" thing to support cycles through.

Every now and again I think about the drama with eda_log and I start fucking malding because they were one of my favorite artists and some asshole decided to call them racist because they were mainly inspired by aztec art and culture and mainly drew art reflecting at that. People grasping at straws to call the art a racist caricature.
The fucking kicker was that the artist was so nice and apologetic and actually did love the culture and art and asked everyone not to attack or call countries stupid for attempting to call them out.
Sorry for bringing up old drama, but it's still so sad and frustrating to think about. An artist who was earnest about their love for this culture's art practically driven off the platform by someone who was probably more jealous of them than offended by their art.

I followed this account named aelaart because I enjoyed their art. But come to find they mostly posted large text tweets in Korean and the extremely rare art post. I ignored it for a while until I saw multiple pictures of the artist cutting herself. I went to check out more of her profile, and whenever I translated the tweet it was always her venting about her suicidal tendencies, anorexia, and cutting. I unfollowed because of how much it disturbed me that this account was public and anyone could access it. It reminds me of the whole dollieguts situation with the cutting a bit, but this is much worse because 90% of her tweets are about either self harm or anorexia. The people in her replies are extremely concerned and she just doesn’t respond most of the time. I feel kind of worried for her.

>>1146060I think you should seriously question anon what direction you want to take your artwork in. If you're just doing it as a hobby and aren't interested in improving much at all (just wanting to have some fun) you may be better off in a casual art discord server/forum. That way there's a bit less pressure on yourself to constantly feel the need git gud.
If you are a hobbyist that wants to improve marginally, take the information you get from these servers and apply them marginally to your artwork. Take baby steps. If you go all in trying some complex art technique you've barely mastered, of course you're going to feel like shit afterwards when it doesn't work out. You need to build up to that experience. Studying more will only help if you learn to gradually apply what you've learned. That takes time and patience.
Lastly, If you're hellbent on being a professional, keep in mind that even professionals have personal art they enjoy, too. Not everything needs to be a study. Sometimes you have work that's just for fun and it's okay. Art is definitely what you make of it! I argue it's supposed to be fun to some degree like other anons mentioned. It's easy to get burned out when it's not.

I don't hate abstract art, sometimes it can be really cool but I've come to really hate abstract art driven by politics or abstract art that acts deeper than it actually is, I don't know if there's a term for that type of art but it's common among moids trying to be artistic. There's almost no skill put into it but people will flock towards it because it's trying to be political and for some reason it's almost popular with leftists or post-modernists types of people. It looks like a child drew it but because a moid slaps some deep commentary on it gets attention.

I was told to study ye old realism masters, but I stopped when I realized I have 0 interest in producing that kind of art. I'm now a professional artist who uses my "doodling" skills far more. None of my clients want a photo realistic drawing, they'd just use a camera and take a photo if that's what they wanted.
Every art area is a skill on its own, and you get good at what you practice. Did you ever see those professional good artists try to draw "manga" when it first got popular in the west? It all looked like shit, despite them being good artists. It's ok to hyperfocus on drawing in a single style or thing if that's what you enjoy. I know some landscape painters who do breathtaking artworks but they still can't draw a human at all. Doesn't affect them at all because they get hired purely to do landscapes.

Wasn't sure if I should ask it here or the jobs thread, but where do illustrators apply for jobs? On regular job sites? Or do employees contact them based on their portfolios? Or is there like a collective job page for creative positions?
No. 1153393
>>1153355If I had the brainpower right now I would exactly explain everything to you, because I'm knowledgeable in this. But I'm not feeling super good so please bear with me. I think it's a mix of both people contacting you and you contacting them. There are also collective job pages indeed. I know one called artjobs and there's other places here and there. If you really want to skip and just email the art directors and scouters directly there's a website called agencyaccess but you'll have to pay (it's worth it, just copy paste all the emails you need). Some people do contact you via social media but that's likely not gonna happen enough so be sure to have a nice portfolio page that you can send alongside an artist statement. If I think of more tips I can come back and reply more stuff to you (although maybe another
nonnie might be better explaining than me). I wish you luck

>>1153421I mean, you could say that for
anything really. Why do crappy celebrities still get attention? Why do trashy reality TV shows still air? It's because regardless of what other people may think there IS an audience for everything (for better or worse). What is appealing to one person may not be appealing to another. Most people can tell if they like something and want to support it. I think it's just a matter of perspective.
Some anons seem to just focus on the "pretty" aspect of the pretty instagram girls and wonder why these artists get views. It's definitely not as much "pretty" as it is, "generally appealing to some niche/audience". The art itself may not be perfect by any means, but it falls into the latter category. The coloring, "wonky" lineart, shading, and overall presentation are consistent. Many people will gravitate towards art regardless if it's the best in the world BECAUSE of that.
Yes, people can tell if art is poorly made, even with little experience. However, as long as there's a clear effort, most won't be super picky. It doesn't mean you shouldn't make an effort, but the general populace is not going to look at all art the same way or enjoy it for the same purpose.
Sure we could believe in a world in which only the most well-rendered, genuinely awe-inspiring art is what gets the most attention, but sometimes it isn't always like that. Especially with something as unpredictable as social media.

>>1156004I hate this, too. I've seen people try to claim that no one is allowed to get

If you don't want your art to be put under public scrutiny, you shouldn't post at all to begin with. It's impossible to filter every single person who interacts with your art. Obsessing over that will just make you go crazy, but some people are up to the challenge I guess.
I find it ironic that these types of people will try to gatekeep their own style as being unique because that only leads to these people getting less attention. In my opinion, as an artist you just have to come to terms with the fact that people will be receptive to your art in different ways. Like, who doesn't want people to be inspired by what to create? That's a sign that your art is reaching some sort of audience. These people just squander those opportunities for growth and wonder why others find them insufferable for art policing.
No. 1156841
>>1156579Go for it, anon! As other anons stated you can easily charge more for ref sheets. Especially with anime characters. People are much more willing to shell out more for their waifu being in a turnaround. lol
The market is tough, but test the waters and experiment at bit. Start at $100 USD, keep the extra charges for emotions or chibis as you stated, make some samples to show, and see what bites. You can always adjust as needed later on.

Aside from making pretty art, and being fairly popular there, she was just another artist. Hell, Zami, who was almost bullied to the point of suicide, had more of an impact on inspiring artstyles, than she did. 100k followers or not, you say some stupid shit online, you're going to catch heat.

>>1163313She also mentioned that person copying one of her ocs, I'm really curious how close they got. It's probably very disheartening, but when I see young artists copying others and achieving a similar look without nearly as much work I just think that they'll either get stuck there or will inevitably start to develop their own style from there. No one keeps drawing the same way forever without improving somewhere, so it's likely nothing but a phase.
>>1163398She worded it badly, but how is that a reason to dogpile her? I don't like her artstyle and haven't seen her much before this, but I'm sure that other artists wouldn't be met with so much hate. But tbf I haven't seen loish, cyarin or meyoco speak out about something like that and they get copied way more, so maybe just expressing that you feel as if someone is stealing from you is already a sign that you're thinking too highly of yourself

If you put yourself out on a public platform you have to admit at some point you don't have as much control as you think you do. Someone has either saved your artwork to reference or is already inspired by seeing it online.
I'm not saying you can't have problems when you're a bigger artist or that people who blatantly rip you off can't be called out, but they worded this in the most egotistical, main character syndrome way I've seen.

I wasn’t going to say anything here but I logged onto Twitter today and immediately saw this lol, I don’t like the passive aggressiveness but at least there’s some sanity. “Style theft” is always going to be a touchy subject and I understand why, you can spend years trying to find your own way of doing things only to see a stranger quickly figure out how you did it. But there’s really no such thing as truly original art, at least not at this point in history. The main things that can really separate you from other artists is subject matter and knowledge of fundamentals, style is just a tool. I wouldn’t mind someone copying my style either because my own style is also derivative.
No. 1163852
>>1163726Most of the time, style theft really isn't a big deal. That said I understand it in a few cases like that one chick who copied slugbox's art style 1:1 and basically did commissions for cheaper because they felt like slugbox was too expensive or something or the person who copies/traces cutesexyrobutts art 1:1 with just different characters.
You can argue no art is truly original but most art takes inspiration from multiple places rather than just one person. If you take inspiration from 3 different artists, you art is going to look different from all three versus if you only did it for one even if it is straight down to the subject matter.
I personally wouldn't mind if someone copied my style since it is like a mix of the sakimichan and wlop style, but if you're skinwalking 1:1 even down to the same OCs and subject matter it's weird especially if people can't tell who posted it.

>>1171772I think it's insane to gatekeep what type of ethnicities are allowed to be drawn based on whether you are white or not. That whole idea drives me crazy. These fucktards as the same ones asking for white people not to do voices, where you don't even see their face, for cartoons, but it's totally fine for
POC to voice white characters. It's fucking stupid and it's some dumbshit reaching by SJWs.

No. 1176964
>>1176349Pretty sure it's a woman, perhaps an FtM like the other anon said. A male wouldn't be this obsessed with Dano-Riddler and he would certainly not draw pretty damn good femporn (which Lacryboy does sometimes). To me, it looks like a typical case of Twitter pickme coomer artist whose real tastes are obvious when she draws female gaze (said femporn and Riddlebat yaoi), only Lacryboy does seem legitimately pornsick, more so than other such Twitter artists. But in my opinion, her style also makes it obvious she's not a man.
>>1176352That's true, it's just that the Riddler is the character she's obsessed with, so this art came across as an attempt to get more male attention, and it worked since scrotes love big titty curvy genderbends/gijinka of whatever is the fad of the month, which I also find annoying.
The genderbend itself is fine I think, I just hate that it was so obviously posted for male coomers after the femgaze art didn't get that many likes.

>>1176972NTAYRT but same. It would be fine if those OCs were drawn for a female audience, we could find them relatable and funny. But they're made for coomer scrotes who in a couple of months will be posting "ughhhhh I want a cute ugly femcel NEET gf!" everyhere and it's going to be annoying as fuck. Plain NEET female characters are not being "normalized", they're being fetishized because males are incapable of seeing women as anything other than sex objects, and honestly only a mega-pickme would be happy if a "loser girl fetish" became popular. Just because they're not hypersexualized bimbos doesn't mean it's good, both obsessions are gross.

these #mcdonaldscore #usedcore #neetcore doodles people call "art" are so ugly. it's always shit and washed out, they only draw the same 4 characters and an OC. they only draw sukumizu and seifuku outfits too because of course they'd only draw super sexualized and fetishized outfits for children and teens. the whole hikineet thing was fine just influencing photos but now that it's leaked out into art I want it to die. If I have to see another pastel pink Loli OC or neon animecore doodle I'm going to scream. slapping memes on a shitty anime girl drawing does not make.

So nothing different from the usual.
>>1177058Don't worry, it's ok when a woman feels that way because you see other women as human. I would also be into her probably because I also like awkward nerdy women, but the way she's draw there is too fetish-y for me.

From things said in the streams, one would have reason to believe he doesn't even actually support trannyism, and so wouldn't be one.

>>1177054Basically it's a niche "aesthetic" that consists of blood, pink, fruits, Sanrio, McDonald's trash like literal garbage being hoarded and decorated and of course insane blown out editing. Like I said it revolves around McDonalds as an aesthetic and "collectible" (but not just the toys, boxes, used fry and drink cups, etc.) It's very popular on Instagram right now and started on Pinterest IIRC. Mostly kids partake but the art I posted is by an older teen and a lot of the "famous" accounts are run by 17-24 year olds literally hoarding greasy trash and putting toys and stationary into it. It's revolting and incredibly weird, bit not in the quirky uwu mentally ill girl way but in a "you probably hoard used pads and toilet paper" way.

You say that being into Hetalia doesn't necessarily mean it's a woman, while at the same time, you claim that the trapshit/monstercock and "emphasis on the foot" like this anon
>>1177618 said necessarily means it's a male? As if plenty of us hadn't seen degen shit like that when we were younger, and as if (female) BL artists didn't draw worse stuff? And thanks to the fact that it's a Twitter artist, it doesn't look any different from the coomer shit other women draw on Twitter.
And apparently Lacryboy also likes cuntboys/making either the Riddler or Bruce FtM. That's a massive hint I think.
