Are there any professional nonas here who have an illustration agent? I am completely lost with how to get one, or if it's worth it to share profits in that way.

>>1478593She had a solid idea for the girls, Velma's a law student, Daphne has a true crime podcast- But I think LT was too scared of making Daphne unlikable, so she "actually cares" about the cases she covers, right off the bat. Like, that could have been implied as a character arc. I think it's more interesting if she starts off as one of those mua true crimers that are just way too desensitized to cases
Also the Velma design is good, I just wish she kept her hair brown/maroon. Coloring is muddy though

>>1478593>>1479227>>1479454Hear me out Nonas. Scooby Doo reboot idea.
Every one is college aged. Daphne is a true crime pod caster who is too detached from her subject matter and only views it all as content. Velma is a law student who comes from a long lineage of detectives and law enforcement and practically worships the profession. Fred is a high brow engineering student who thinks he can create the greatest machines with no assistance. Shaggy is the heir to a wealthy family that has recently been plagued by misfortune.
1st Episode, the subject of Daphne's latest podcast episode features Shaggy and all of the misfortunes his family has been experiencing lately. Daphne wants to talk more about the mysterious murder of his mother and her thoughts on how Shaggy's father as the prime culprit. Shaggy goes on to defend his father while throwing in some comments that his family may be cursed or haunted by ghost. Velma sends a 'super chat/chat highlight' that their both ridiculous and that it's just coincidence. Shaggy invites them both down to his family's manor to see everything he's been dealing with. The whole crew shows up during summer break. Fred accompanies Daphne on the trip as he's her boyfriend.
Throughout the subsequent episodes, they investigate everything about Shaggy's family and the wealthy town he lives in and uncover a web of lies, deceit, murder and coverups. Members of the local police in league with a business rival of Shaggy's father have been behind all of the messed up shit Shaggy's family has been through. Near the end, Velma has a new found zeal in taking down people who abuse their positions of power, Daphne is more emotionally invested and respectful of the subjects of her content. Fred humbles himself and learns to work as a part of a team.
By the final episode, Shaggy gets a puppy to help with his severe anxiety and names the pup after his favorite snack, Scooby Snacks. He also decides to use his family fortune to finance the gang to help pursue other mysterious cases and Daphne uses her platform to find cases for the crew from communities that are overlooked and ignored by traditional law enforcement.

This artist, unlike Shadman, is much more interested in audience reaction than what's going on in the pictures. He opts for shock and piles it on wherever he has a free spot to do so, so that the viewer doesn't have a chance to stop looking. If the implication sounds twisted or like an allusion for something, it's intentional.

If you want to stick by your original drawing and block people, fine. But all I said was if you go around making a big deal about it, don't be surprised if people quote-retweet you and embarrass you.
I don't understand your guys' problem with wanting to improve in drawing people who don't look like you. If you don't want to draw people with darker skin, then don't. But if you want to, then do trial and error and learn how to get it right.

>>1484513>nta but this is also racist.Literally how.
Of course, skin tones are diverse. Your points are completely unrelated to what I'm talking about. People who want you to draw "stereotypes" are bad artists or underage. I'm black and honestly as long as the character looks or reads as black, you're okay. Most black people who don't spend all their time online don't care about designs as long as they look good. And it also depends if you're drawing Black Americans or people from African countries. It's all just about keeping yourself informed if you want to make accurate depictions. It's honestly not that hard.

These people don't want to help you improve your art, and none of them are "offended", they are bullies who want to take down artists more skilled than them because they are jealous children.
Anime styles aren't realistic, and with all the exaggerated limbs and big eyes and ridiculous hair, people put their foot down at wrong skin colors. Sure.
Nothing wrong with encouraging artists to draw different ethnicities, that's never what's happening on social media though. Instead of telling other artists to draw more minorities, why don't you do it yourself in your own art? That's what I do.

>>1485638Plenty of women draw men being murdered and killed [Picrel by Artemisia Gentileschi]. It's not mainstream unfortunately and women are depicted as being evil and killing men or children all the time in horror the same way men are and usually,
victims in those films are men. The movie AMERICAN PSYCHO was directed by a woman too. Women have no issues with depicting men being harmed in art [inb4 it's argued that some SW die in the film too, which happens when you're using real life things people do and it also happens in the book]. You and everyone else would rather overlook it because it's not mainstream [except something like AP which I bet a lot of people didn't realize was directed by a woman because the movie is about a male protagonist]. I also hate men as well, I don't think it's abnormal to do so, and never said so. Women have been pushed out of spaces where they can draw freely like that, but it does exist. It's a niche, but it exists.

how do you start a small business and find a manufacturer?
No. 1485809
>>1485772If/when you start a business for the love of god take pre-orders. Half the people who scream about wanting your stuff won't even have the money to buy it, and the last thing you need is stock rotting on the shelves.
Ask for samples. Any issues with printing, colors, cutting etc will be easier to fix at this stage. You'll get duds no matter what, so buy a few more than you need and sell the crap ones at a discount. Show your audience the samples, people get more excited when they see an actual product versus a drawing.
Depending on where you are it might be better to use a manufacturer in your country, or to make the items yourself if you can. If you want to make pins, acrylic stuff or anything else that you'd need time, specialist equipment and a lot more money for, get your audience involved. Get them to vote on designs, colorways, sizes etc. The more involved people are in the process the more likely they are to actually buy the item.
Make an item that your audience will want and can afford to buy. Useful items like lanyards and notebooks are easier purchases for them to justify than stickers and prints, but depending on your audience's age group, they might prefer to buy lots of small cheap items than one or two pricier ones.

Loish also seems to attract obsessive skinwalkers. Ancient milk at this point, but look up the Luisa Rafidi/Lulles incident. The post should still be up on Loish's DA. I followed Luisa before she became obsessed with Loish and it was frankly unsettling watching her art style, typing patterns, and website layout slowly morph to be more like Loish.

This fucking POV pedo has been showing up on my YT shorts feed. A lot of his shorts feel voyeuristic as hell, on a level of invasiveness that I didn't know was possible.
There's no sign of some other character being depicted that I thought this could all revolve around. The more clips I saw, the more I realized I was being shoehorned into a pedoscrote fantasy.
POV has a lot of room for projection, but there are some situations where the creator forces you into his shoes. It feels soul-sucking.

Do you think AI will make creating animated works faster and cheaper? Will it allow better adaptations and a wider variety? Or will it cause an avalanche of garbage? Maybe both? Something else?

Smooth interpolation, which it can do, just doesn't get the job done(especially for mainstream shonen series). And BDDM models, as impressive as they are for generating unique pinup illustrations just aren't suited or intended for this application at all. It could do character concepting right now, but that's not really a bottleneck in production at all, and the anime industry is hardly making original stuff as it is. AI tools aren't generalist, they tend to be good at one particular thing, and right now animation ain't it.

If you want to build an archive of your art with a great tagging system, choose tumblr.
If you want your art to potentially go viral, use twitter.
If you want to connect with other artists specifically, instagram is best, but their algorithm is the most dogshit of all social media.
Tiktok is hallow popularity, but it's very easy to build a following if are good with snappy video editing. You don't have to be good at art at all.
Youtube has the potential to gain you a solid loyal following and money, but it is a huge investment. If you love editing long videos, it's a great choice.
ArtStation and Behance are portfolio sites, not great for community, but a decent way to post your art online.

We've gone from girls deciding they're trans because they don't like dresses or being talked down to (and want to make their entire identity cosplaying a male character fucking another male character cosplayed by another girl), to girls deciding they're nonbinary because they realize they're not men. It all stems not wanting to be seen as a woman/female because of perceived gender expectations. If you don't fit every stereotype, it's not that the stereotypes are bad, it's that you're Actually Not A Girl.

But since the nonbinary fad kicked off, people default to using they/them because they look at me and decide that I don't look enough like what they've defined as a "woman". It's so much worse than the bullying because it's out of attempted "respect" and politeness.
It's really unfortunate that this generation of girls is being told that there's something wrong with them rather than encouraging them to break free from feminine stereotypes.

Women back then disguised themselves as men, and passed easily because dumbass men see women as a gender presentation first and foremost.

They should take pride in their ability to mask their gender (something males can never do without expensive surgery) and their choice to live childfree, man-free, whatever, instead of separating themselves from the collective experience of being a female human on Earth.

It's not going to cost you anywhere that much to run one print unless it's some giant metal panel you're selling for $150; but treat that manufacturing money as your inventory.
PoD is a good middle ground between avoiding buying inventory that may not move, and selling high-res files on a trust system.
I actually think the PoD market is hurting for direct-from-artist sellers. Most PoD sellers are people who flip assets, or people who outsource most of their work.

You can order keychains, pins etc. on Alibaba, there are tons of sellers. Buy stickers in your home country, there are plenty of local sticker places and you can do it yourself if you have a nice printer and some vinyl sticker paper.

But I don't like how it gets automatically attributed that ALL art is intentionally and inherently political, so it's okay to run around and harass creators. The problem right now is that the consumers themselves are the ones who default to making it political. Even the moids who try to peg art as political only do so when they can't self insert/project onto the work and are forced to identify w/someone who isn't close to resembling them. They've normalized it so much to where people think any art that bothers them is Literally Murdering them.
For the amount of power people give art, whether it's people beating dead horses about Rowling, or a rising Twitter artist getting called out for drawing the wrong ship or a hex decimal off on the skintone, you'd think we were some beacon of real power in the world.

I've never come across anyone who looks down on lineart though. Look at Victo Ngai for a line heavy style. She does all her lines traditionally though, which is much faster than digital.

Ngl I love when non-artists post the most blatant ai work possible and pretend it's completely their own work. It's hilarious. They think no one can tell because they easily fool normies.
There's an indie author I started reading and I enjoyed the spicy fantasy, but immediately knew the art is AI. But the author likes to pretend she's an artist and talks about her generated images as if she painted them. Nevermind the fact that her characters look different in every image she posts of them and their faces are obviously just celebrities edited through AI. You can tell the obvious parts she tries to edit to prove she can paint (making sure her images have completed hands to show it's totally not AI guise!!) and she has a few "sketches" that are just poorly traced AI faces.
And people like this are a dime a dozen now. When will this trend die? I'm all for the idea of non-artists being able to visualize their characters easily, but not at the expense of artists.

>>1502783Imo the most telling thing is the way the "brush stokes" always look, especially with hair. The strands look pulled and stretched with no clear beginning or end (picrel) or direction.
Also anyone at this skill level in real life would know what parts of a painting to leave blurry or unpolished and what parts to up the detail without it being distracting. Her images have a very inconsistent amount of blur and detail that looks arbitrary. And the blurriness you see doesn't look like unrefined brush strokes, it looks like a low res image.
A lot of artists work the detail on the faces in portraits as the focal point, but this is different. It looks like she just generates faces and photobashes them onto the bodies.
She's far from the only one doing this, and I hate how often im seeing it on the writing community but there are obvious tells.

Procreate nonnies, I hate how my art looks like something from 2010 DeviantArt. My traditional art looks so much more lively and professional. How can I get a brush that looks like pic related? (although this obviously isn’t procreate) I feel like procreate artists really gatekeep their brushes/brush settings compared to CSP artists
If you don’t know what brush could work like pic related, here’s some other questions:
>what brushes do you use? If default brushes, what’s your settings?
>any procreate beginner advice you’d wish you would’ve known when you started out?
No. 1505104
>>1503940yeah i sorta half agree. its hard to find a balance between “this artist is the best person ever and we should all agree with everything they tweet” and “this artist said something i dont agree with so we should all go harass them and make them delete their account” on twitter.
i remember these confession blogs would usually give the artist a good laugh, or they’d start some drama against an anon that was obviously them and it was just a bit of fun for everyone. but i guess people can’t handle things like that anymore without sending an angry mob either way.

>>1505105>the type of brushes you use won't mean anything unless your actual a good artist.As I said, I am a good artist traditionally but new to digital art. I would like a brush that emulates the look that I want, just like any artist traditionally would change brushes or nibs when painting/inking.
>my art looks like something from 2010 DeviantArt.can you further elaborate from that?
It’s the cheap looking flat digital look. Like these brushes from procreate for example. There’s no life and dimension to the brushes like a traditional g-pen would give.
No. 1505122
>>1505109"Dimension" doesn't come from a brush but from a solid understanding of form and good usage of line weight (even in digital art). Feng Zhu is a perfect example of this. The man uses nothing but the default Photoshop brush.
If you're having trouble translating your skill from traditional to digital, that's normal. Being a good artist in one medium doesn't mean you can execute that same drawing in a different medium without practice.
Now if you're looking for a brush purely for stylization, I guess you could download whatever brush set your favorite digital artist has available.

I used to do nsfw as a part time gig over the pandemic, started out liking it cause muh sexual expression but the scrotey stuff began to wear me down. Do men have souls?

No. 1505483
>>1505099I don't use procreate so I dunno if it's an option on it, but maybe you can try to use a brush that changes its size according to the stroke speed as opposed to pressure.
I'm pretty sure the OP of that pic was using the Millipen brush from CSP, which works that way. If you can recreate something similar on Procreate go for it, it's pretty fun to use, makes you be more thoughtful/decisive of your strokes and (for me, at least) it's way easier to get lines of different weights with it than with the usual pressure-based brushes.

>>1507497I don't speak an ounce of japanese (yet) and still I collect doujin, I love them so much. It hurts my soul having to pay an extra €20-30 thanks to shipping/VAT every time I buy, I wish they were more accessible… I always have to hoard them on my proxy cart.
I like that fanzines took off lately, but they're harder to keep up with since they're professionally printed, come with merch & more often than not are for-profit, so they end up $70. Sometimes I just want to read someone's story for $5 on printer paper…
(And considering lots of times art on these fanzines ends up being "character but it's queer fat trans black from asia and also self harms", it stops me from buying, the art never looks like its source material)
Correct me if wrong, but I heard companies often turn a blind eye to doujin & other fan works/conventions because most (if not all) works are sold at production price, so the artists barely make money, if they make any at all.
And that kind of mindset doesn't click here, if there's no profit most artists won't even bother to make/sell stuff, It's kinda sad. And like

No. 1508629
>>1508119Same! I love collecting doujinshi and I've made a few myself (sold online) and have made submission to a JP anthology and plan to do so again this year. Doujinshi making is super fun and rewarding but it also requires tons of discipline and hard work which is something not a lot of people are willing to do. To be honest, I like fanzines as a concept but a lot of them tend to be bloated anthology artbooks with too many unneeded items tacked onto them, like you said.
>are for-profit, so they end up $70Yeah, I feel that too. A lot of fanzines, while made by fans, seem to have a really big emphasis on making mail-order sales with constant advertisements and such. It feels off.
>And that kind of mindset doesn't click here, if there's no profit most artists won't even bother to make/sell stuff, It's kinda sadThat's the thing, it is sad and it's unfortunately true which is why I think an "Ameri-ket" wouldn't work out too well. If artists can't price their doujinshi at 20+ dollars instead of the usual 5-7 dollars for Japanese doujinshi it will be seen as a waste of hard work for many. Tables would be overpriced and so would the books produce, it would quickly degrade fast.

I hope I'm right here and one of you might be able to help me. I'm looking for a lamp, something I can move around or take with me when I travel, so not too big, but also sturdy. Just a simple lamp with good lighting that I can use for drawing and other crafts in the middle of the night in badly lit rooms. I've tried google but all I can find are cheap, tiny reading lamps like picrel and those are cute, but don't offer the quality I'm looking for. Any recommendation, even just a brand, would make me happy.
No. 1509033
>>1508629Honestly I think we got the means to sell fan comics over here too without an ameri-ket. I'm not from the US (I guess the situation is pretty much the same tho) but 80% of merch people sell at cons are from IPs anyways, so the whole copyright thing feels like an excuse. I think people just prefer to draw some keychains and prints since they draw and sell faster rather than cut a bit from these and use that time for a comic.
It's extremely rare, but I have seen people selling their own comics at cons before. They're more expensive (around $12-15) since they’re usually printed in color, but they're pretty nice. I have bought some and when I show them to my friends/online, they’re often impressed and run to check if the artist still has leftovers lmao So the demand is here, but not the content itself.
Maybe the misconception of “fan comic/doujin = porn” also helped in making people turn away from them, but I’m sure if people put some effort into drawing/selling them over here, they will take off in no time like fanzines did. I hope that happens someday, they’re very fun.

(Apologizing in advance for blog posting, should I sage all of this?)
Gosh I have so many questions that it’s not even funny, I hope to find some answers here.
So, I really don’t know what is the best thing to do. I want to grow as an online artist but I don’t know what is the best social media to stick to.
I won’t even talk about the fact that my art (basically anime fanarts, I use almost only alcohol markers btw) looks like absolute garbage in photo, because I know that I’m the one who doesn’t know how to take flattering pics anyways, and I’ve accepted that.
I have an Instagram account but I’m not that active here, because I find really annoyingly to put all of the damn hashtags and such, so I was thinking about switching to another social media that maybe would be more suitable (?) for artists. Probably I will restart to post on ig more frequently soon or later, maybe using the “scheduled posts” thingy, so I don’t have to go and upload every single time. Do you think it will work?
My tiktok account sucks even more than the ig one, I’m even worse in creating and editing videos, and the fact that for some reason I can’t be able to draw while recording pisses me off. Apparently, more than the art itself, people on Tiktok seem to prefer to watch u while drawing before their own eyes, and I get that. I thought about even starting a YouTube channel but I don’t know if it’s will even be worthy at this point.
What should I do? My friends suggested me to open a Twitter account or a Tumblr, but I don’t know, because on Twitter there is always drama for every little stupid thing (I don’t wanna even act like my art is so-super-viral to go and generate infights, I can only wish, but you never know…) and I feel like it’s kinda… late (?) to start an art account on Tumblr
I hope you could help me, and sorry if I broke some rules

I've never experienced drama, but I'm not interacting with any fandom discussions other than posting my own art and retweeting/liking stuff. Just act normal, ignore petty drama - it is not representative of people's opinions in general. Art fandoms are full of children, politely ignore them if they are looking for trouble. Building an audience takes time (and luck), and no one gives a shit about about your life/opinions until you are noteworthy enough.
If your photos look bad, practice some basic photo editing before uploading them, you'll get better as you go and lot's of people still like looking at photos of irl drawings.
Draw, post, move on to next drawing and ignore drama.

I might be biased because I am a manga fan since I was around 9-10 in the late 90's but everytime I see most colored manwhas they look so…flat? They look like picrew generated shit.

>>1510716I'm in the same as you since I have been a manga fan for a long time but I still agree with you that colored manwha looks like shit. It makes it looks flater that it actually is. I have read some old manwhas where I liked the artstyle so I don't think it's a manwha problem but a webtoon problem. In my opinion most webtoons just have an ugly artstyle. It's drawn with thin lines(which I personally dislike) and everyone has board shoulders, thick necks, tiny heads, goofy headshapes, the exact same eyeshape. I know that weebtoon authors have to produce chapters quickly but so does mangakas. It's not like mangas don't look lazy or reuses panels but sometimes you do get a panel a detailed panel with dynamic posing, I rarely see that in weebtoons.
Webtoon characters are also so expressionless. I have read many comics from different countries and if there was one thing they all had in common was that they tried to show has much expression as possible. Webtoons doesn't do that it feels like comics written for people who hate comics

>>1515217You can also see it's AI when you look closely at it. The AI has mastered the concept of art being an illusion, something that seems like it's something but it's just lines, if it makes sense. When you look closely, it looks like those images made to illustrate the vision of someone who's having a stroke and can't process what they see, i don't know. It also has always those strange lines, no tru texture, the art is always a bad quality, and when the quality is good you can't zoom enough to see the original quality of the lines and the details. Well, at this point you can see easily what is an AI art and what is made by a human, just zoom in, or even better, if you don't have the eyes to see that, you can just see if the artist has an speedpaint, or maybe even a sketch (even though this one can be faked by just tracing the AI art), well… And i also ask myself if AI is able to do pixel art since it's pixels and it has no human eye to say "oh, those 16 pixels truly look like an little dog face!", art is one of the things that is so related to feeling that AI can't go very far, without the help of artists, to make something truly good.

What the hell is up with con pricing nowadays? I hate how expensive tabling at a con is. There is no reason a semi-popular to popular anime convention artist alley tables needs to cost more than $85 dollars. $130? That's a huge stretch but I could see it if you get a fuck huge table in a space with guaranteed traffic or the extra cost goes to the necessary con fees. That's understandable. Any more than that is utter and complete bullshit in my eyes. $250? $350? $490? $550??? What the hell! A plastic 6ft foldable table costs around $45 maximum, maybe $50-$60 if it's a special table like an L-shaped one. I might be an utter idiot but why are they so expensive? Is it because hosting cons in general has gotten expensive with iflation and other capitalism and economy related shit so they need to compensate? Have anime conventions become more of a business rather than a fun hobby so they trying to turn more of a profit than doing the necessary? Jesus Christ, it just doesn't make sense nonas. I just want to table at a decently populated convention without having to shell out an arm and a leg. Like, Comiket which is one of the biggest and most popular conventions that happens bi-yearly (once in the summer and once in the winter) with thousands of artists participating has an entrance fee of (I think) 75 dollars. So I find it confusing that it costs hundreds just to get a plastic foldable chair and table.

>$250? $350? $490? $550??? What the hell! You need to give examples because for 3/4 days, that's like $80 a day. You're also paying for the space, the table given to you, paying for the room the AA is taking place in because I'm sure the convention is using you guys to pay for the room for all the days instead of using the initial ticket prices for the convention/hotel area to begin with. There's other costs in it which make sense because the venus are also probably charging more due to inflation. It sucks, but it really makes sense.
No. 1518798
>>1518789Never understood why tables are so expensive, especially when 1.) some artists have an audience so they’re basically promoting the Convention that they’re going to, and 2.) Artist don’t get a discount on the food/normally need to bring their own stuff like chairs
I know that we’re renting out a space, and the price is also a deterrent for those who don’t take selling merch/commissions seriously so there’s “quality”, but why up to $200 for a convention that isn’t “big”

>>1518770The bigger cons like C2E2 only give you half a table for $400+ kek it's ridiculous. Unless you have an online following, you need to draw fanart crap or a certain niche to make any decent profit at these big cons.
Tabling at cons have become people's livelihoods, it's not a hobby for a lot, and the prices have increased by organizers accordingly. Out of need or greed who knows.

You need to figure out some name that is short, easy to remember and original. If your own name is universally easy to say you can go with your own name. My goverment name is a mess of letter for english speakers so i'm going with a nickname. If i had to choose a name now i'd go for something like Sunfish (or sinfish kek), Monstera art..name based on some cool creature or plant that can work in a logo.
>>1518925not sure what else is there other than drawing every day, maybe looking at old painting a lot. Sometimes i find something new that i didn't realize before like color contrasts or atmosphere perspectives, or how different light affects differet surfaces and stuff like that. I suck at learning from books and using a stick to measure perspective so i just wing it as i go and repair the drawing untill it's correct. But what works for me is when i get high, play some fairytale music, or other soundtracks depending on what you're drawing, and the picture just draws itself by my hand and in that state i learn the most because i see what works and doesn't work much faster and i get much more ideas how to make the picture better.

I hate it when people assume digital art is hundreds of times easier than traditional art. I have no experience with painting traditional, but I did draw a lot. Digital simplifies or streamlines some processes so in some ways it's easier and more convenient than traditional, like being able to erase stuff without leaving any trace, selection transforms, layers, and color replacing. But making art is not just knowing how to use these tools (which in itself is like learning to use traditional tools), because if you don't know how to draw at all, they're next to useless. The drawing part is miles easier to me on paper and with a real pencil than on a computer, it feels more natural, I can control the flow of the line better. Whereas digitally, lines are harder to control, and drawing digitally in general is harder to get used to. But I prefer coloring and inking on digital because the amount of mistakes I can correct there is infinite, so the basic sketch (which requires a lot of anatomy knowledge and many hours of practice or else it'll result a polished turd later) is done on paper, then scanned and finished on PC. But trying to do a sketch first on digital takes twice the amount of energy, in my experience. That's not even mentioning how important it is to know color theory to do ANY art involving colors, whether traditional or digital, and that's just one of the many skills that are the same for both traditional and digital.
The other day, I explained to my mom how pixel art is different from "normal" digital art with "normal" art programs, and one of the differences I mentioned is that digital drawing programs kind of draw the pixels along your pen strokes (as opposed to pixel art consisting of mostly placing individual pixels yourself), and she took this as meaning that the program does all the work for you. The fuck? No, that's not what I said at all. I don't know how to explain this to someone that no, the computer doesn't do all the freaking work. Does anyone know how to explain digital art to someone like this? It really pisses me off, especially since I don't know how to phrase it so a non-artist gets it.

They would have to denoise every single image individually and only use their own pre-made database and that's a lot of work and I'm willing to spend 20min to 1hr to GLAZE an image that took me 30hrs because
I have that time and a lot of artists do to. They think we won't wait for the processing, but we will. Their impatient asses can't. That's why they are so frustrated. So yes, they also found a way to undo the GLAZEing, but that corrupts their whole database reasoning to using these image creators.
This is going to be so fun play out because since they publicly keep announcing the flaws in GLAZE, we have a better chance of corrupting their systems because of the work artists are willing to put into fucking with their systems. AIBs don't want to wait and don't have time to be frustrated.

So I've been watching some of Twisted Disaster's streams because I was looking for some background noise and I still cannot fathom how most of her friends are gender tards. One of the ones that really stomps me is one of her newer additions to her whatever you want to call it but this chick claims she's not a woman or man (they/them) but yet she literally pushed a baby out of her and I'm so flabbergasted how she can sit there and think she's essentially a "nothing" when she has done one of the most woman only things a woman can do. I'm probably being retarded being in disbelief about this as it's the "in" thing for most woman artists to be claiming to be a "they/them" and that naturally (young) women who are parents can fall down this stupid pipeline as well but I don't seek that stuff out so I'm new to this concept kek.
Aside from that, I got a huge laugh from something Michie pointed out about her TIF friend where most of her friends (the TIF) are all cats because most of their circle's fursonas are cats and the whole time I was thinking "Like a true woman" what with the stereotype that women are the ones who mostly surround themselves with cats.
It's just so funny how their little group pretends that this TIF is some "gay man" and they have little revelations like that.

Not counting Michie herself since she hasn't trooned, Holly was the only other one living in reality until she trooned out. It' totally because that friend group is a breeding ground for such ridiculousness after hearing how they talk among each other, especially Michie who acts in a "how do you do fellow kids?" kinda way, especially with the TIF friend who is like 10 years younger than her yet she calls her "daddy" (It's as cringe as you're probably imagining).
Sidenote but as annoying as Holly can be, I hope she doesn't get her breasts chopped off like the other two TIfs in the circle are planning to do. I don't think anyone should honestly but especially Holly since she already is trying to get Testosterone.

It honestly felt like one of the reasons that happened was because Michie wanted an excuse to be able to shout that she had a girlfriend and could therefor speak on lesbian issues because seriously, she always felt the need to say that she had a GF anytime she could and it was annoying as fuck.
I wasn't surprised that it didn't work out because let's be real, poly relationships are not relationships and they never last because someone is always gonna be feeling left out of within it. But I was happy that it didn't work and Holly was going to get back on track fixing her life and then BAM, she now thinks she's a man.
>Haven't kept up with Michie herself because I'm not gonna watch her streams but Idid notice Holly wasn't interacting with her as much ad thought something was upThat's fair anon. I only listen to her livestreams for BG noise when I'm drawing because when she's not with her troon friends, she's actually not as annoying though she still complains about small inconveniences in her life that stop her from getting commissions done (kek). In one of her last streams, she was mentioning how she was behind in commissions because "life" and yet she was taking on more in-stream commissions on top of them and didn't even finish some of them during the stream. Her commissioners are incredibly patient, I'll give them that lol.
But when she's with the troon brigade, I try to sit through it because it's so hilarious how she tries so hard to fit in with these people who are much younger than her and how she insinuates that she's "the baby" of the group (woman, you're 30-31 years old saying this to a bunch of women in their early 20s lol).
I usually will click off when things get too much and I can't handle the BS though.
You're right that Holly hasn't been in any of the streams ever since the break up and Michie doesn't seem to bring her up much if at all so I'm guessing it was probably a messy breakup.

>>1523975It can be. Good femdom where the sub has just as much emphasis as she does, or even just showing her in a healthy relationship with a good-looking character, is one example that appeals. Lots of women like good-looking couples who are equally smutted up; not everything has to be yume/self-insert driven to appeal to women. If this approach makes it easier for you, it's a market that can cover multiple territories (women who project on one of the characters; women who are just into romance; women who are bisexual). There is both a market for female-targeted yuri (easy mode) and female-targeted het where both parties are attractive (might be challenging at first)
Solo pinups needs to lean more into female wish fulfillment and show a lot of agency before it gets sexy to a female viewer. Things that work for my audience (and me) are good-looking outfits, doing something relatable but not in a bent-out pose, and having expressive and engaging faces, either w/her surroundings or the viewer.
Coomers will sexualize anything, but what makes the female-targeted sexy women stand out is that the male-targeted pinups tend to have her in a pose or reaction that makes no sense to the situation, or make the woman look like she isn't in on the situation being presented. Female gaze appeal means ambience body language; male gaze appeal means banal presentation despite the moment.
No. 1529823
>>1529755This makes a lot sense. This kinda makes me understand why some women are drawn to wicca because when you look at wicca ceremonies or gatherings that are all women, they feel in tune with each other even when nude and it doesn't feel sexualized at all. Like a group of nude women holding hands in a circle and just taking in the scenery around them and in a sense, being in tune with nature.
Coomer men would not find this sexy at all unless the women were large chested and making out with each other while making porn moans but to a woman, it could be perceived as something beautiful.

famous character but in the sailor moon style and with 20 filters. It's a shame because i would love to see more artists inspired by 80's artists and anime.

Hey anons, I'm committed to using deviantart as my only art social media, mostly because I'm autistic and I like that it's based around building a gallery instead of gay timeline shit.
Anyways I've been using my current account for around 3 years and I only have 10 followers. How the fuck do you gain followers on this website nowadays? I draw a mix of fanart and original content. Do I just need to be extremely consistent in what I draw? Do I need to upload every day? Is there some magic way to use tags? I go on the popular page and it's all memes with 100+ favourites kek it pisses me off
No. 1530322
>>1530318Do people still use Deviantart? I think most likely people are just not as invested on the social part anymore and only use it to either dump their art or download others' resources.
Back when I used it, I gained the most traction by joining groups and sending my art to them, maybe it will help you. Though it has been 6 years already since that…
No. 1530432
>>1529823I wouldn't completely compare it to the Wicca rite since it's in a sacred space and presented in sacred contexts in art,but I understand what you're getting at. It's all about presentation.
I think what it comes down to, whether its sacred or erotic nudity, is the lack of invasive voyeurism. Erotica made by women featuring women has a less voyeuristic feel to the point where it's scary. They pull you into their work before you know it, but you still have a way out. Men's work will force you too hard in one way or the other.
That's why I'm so careful with sexual art made by women featuring women. I've seen nonnas quick to call anything featuring a sexy woman (especially if she has a slim body and full chest, or a non-exaggerated hourglass) "male gazey" when actual coomer female art looks exactly like coomer male art: distorted and horrific no matter the body type utilized, or distorted and horrific BECAUSE of the body type utilized.
Not to derail the topic, but, again, these are things a person needs to keep in mind when making sexy women for women. I realized that I can't please everyone, and that was liberating. Whatever you decide to do, go for broke.

Men make porn to force an imaginary woman to get off for his pleasure, it's in your face because the woman is performing for the viewer.
Women create porn for the imaginary woman or man to get off for their pleasure. Even the most degenerate yaoi created by women still focus on the characters, not the viewer.

As soon as Eclipse was forcefully implemented, it drove away a sizeable number of users and then the AI art thing drove even more. So don't be surprised if you find it difficult to get a following there because the social aspect of the website has been on the decline since 2019. The only thing I could suggest is like another anon mentioned which is try submitting to art groups or in the thumbhare forum sub of the site and that might generate some traction though be mindful that it won't be drastic.

Whether this is Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, or real life depends on your market.That's exactly what "curating your audience" implies. It's about knowing what you, personally, want out of your crowd. If you prioritize follower numbers over money, Twitter (unless you draw NSFW) and Tiktok are no-brainers. Yes, you can curate paying followers with both, but there are already spaces where people are already ready to spend money on you first, and follow your social media second.
I just don't see why a person would willingly entertain a crowd that they know would drag them for a promotional move. (The move itself isn't up for debate; whether smart or stupid. I sure as hell wouldn't pay for the checkmark, but I am empathetic wanting to take gambles on a platform you've decided to invest your time in.) If I had to apologize in advance to my audience and peers for moves that I make to promote myself because it might offend them, I'd reconsider my position. It's almost like if I apologized for paying for Etsy ads.
No. 1536993
>>1536778I don't know where this assumption comes from that Twitter is some kind of last-ditch-effort for struggling artists who have to apologize to their followers all the time and beg for scraps. I see this a lot around here and it seems like some of you have never tried to or succeeded in monetizing a following on Twitter and are just repeating whatever nonsense you hear from people whose only credentials are being terminally online.
If Twitter was such a wasteland, none of the popular artists would be on it, and yet almost all of them are.
The key is that whether you have a large following or not, your work has to be good enough that people want you to make art for them. I had people asking me if I did commissions before I ever even started doing them. I've never apologized to my followers and I charge in the hundreds for my commissions.
The reason I pointed to "curating an audience" as naive is because your audience is where your audience is; it doesn't matter if you like Instagram or wherever better. If your target audience isn't on Instagram but they're on Facebook, guess what, Facebook is where you need to be. You don't get to curate shit unless you've made it big; your audience is essentially curating you.
No. 1537175
>>1536993It's not a last ditch effort so much as it seems to bring out the worst in people for little return. A lot of new artists looking to 'make it' do make the mistake of dictating their entire career around their Twitter popularity instead of embracing a niche like a professional, and taking into account their paying audience to follower ratio.
If your entire career is all about letting your fanbase take you for a ride and "curate" you, your words are completely true. This rule is more applicable for those just focused on doing commissions and freelancing for a living. You should shape yourself around what your followers want.
Still; you're free to be naive and ignore the fact that people are very influenced by the artists themselves, especially when you have a narrative attached to your work. If Twitter-focused artist buys a checkmark, they should just go all in on it, or not do it at all.
No. 1537231
>>1537175Cool, so you either didn't try to make money on Twitter and are just going based off what drama says, or you failed at it and think that no one else can do it because you didn't.
I keep seeing it over and over again on lolcow about how there's all this drama and how you can't be yourselves, but have you ever considered just shutting the fuck up and posting art? No one cares about your sparkling personality; just do your fucking job.
If someone stops following you because you bought a blue checkmark (which you shouldn't do anyway because it's a scam), okay, so what? At worst you get to see who actually cares about your work. I see plenty of artists with blue checkmarks and guess what, they still are working on Twitter without harassment.
No. 1537513
>>1537231We're on the same page, but you're so defensive of Twitter to not be able to see that. Part of curating your audience is being yourself. When I first started, my business partner told me that I should either make what I like, or make what everyone else likes. But she encouraged the former, and it paid off well.
Now that you mention it, Twitter might be a good dump for my NSFW work since Pixiv, where I usually post that kind of content, can be set to post to a Twitter account simultaneously. Not interested in it for business, but it might be fun to see what happens, if anything.

>>1541171This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. It's insane to me that art is so devalued in society that someone who does art themselves thinks it's perfectly fine for art to vanish as a career and sees nothing wrong with that prospect.
Let me explain to you that while no one
deserves to have a job in art, it's really fucking bad for society if no one
can get a paying job in art. You do get that, right? Like if you stop for 2 seconds to think about it, you do get why that is a bad thing, right?
Although AI isn't going to replace artists altogether, you do also understand that it doesn't stop at just artists? It's estimated to impact 80% of the workforce? "Just learn to code!" Oh you mean the thing that AI can also do? Nothing like spending 6 months to a year on trying to do a job that AI will replace; it's mid-level and senior developers who are safe but juniors are 100% on the chopping block.

I have an artist friend who had gone into a full on depression because of AI art and claims it has destroyed her dream of a life where she gets paid to sit around and paint all day. She has a regular job that gives her weekends and holidays off and plenty of free time in the afternoon, but she claims it's not enough because it's not worth doing art if she doesn't get paid for it.
The good thing that might come from this is that artists who do it for fun and their own enjoyment get more visibility again.
No. 1541194
>>1541183Are you retarded? It has nothing to do artists and writers getting to "live out their dream"; it's that a society that sees no value in and has no place for creatives is a dystopian nightmare.
By all means, go to ChatGPT and generate a new book to read; there's absolutely no reason for an author to make any work for you to read ever again, since you don't think anyone's work is valuable enough to deserve a career out of it. Just go read and look at your computerized, mass-generated drivel, since that's
why people are going to lose work.
I love going on an art board and reading the same arguments I read from NFT and tech bros. Artists should just create art for you to consume for free because their labor is meaningless. Miyazaki should have been a plumber and animated on weekends. Really inspired thoughts there.
No. 1541204
>>1541201They still need to put in the work equal to a full time job and have the talent worthy of getting paid, which is usually not the case with your regular Twitter artist. I've seen too many artists on social security or living off their parents or partner go completely numb and complain on twitter about art block and depression since all they do is sit around at home waiting for inspiration. People with jobs don't have time to mope about their lack of inspiration if they want to be productive, they just get to work.
I agree that actual talent and hard work should be rewarded like any other job, though, and it would be awful if AI art replaced those.
No. 1541206
>>1541197Virtually all artists who want to keep making art what a career out of it, genius. That's why people are willing to be in such a thankless career.
Also, surprise, everyone is bad at art when they start out. I'm not sure if you've ever drawn before, but that's how it works. That doesn't mean they'll always be bad. They have to have an opportunity to improve. Ikuko Itoh, whose art is some of the most iconic and a lasting representation of 90s anime, was one of the
worst animators on the team when she started out.
And if you all would take literally a minute to critically think, what happens to all of the good artists when the jobs continue to decrease? If they don't just do something else, they all end up competing for commissions, further driving down the price, when commissions are already rock bottom. You think competition is bad now? Wait until half the art jobs are gone.
>> 1541198No? I work a full-time job; why the fuck would I spend 20+ hours in front of a screen on my day off for literally nothing? I'm good at art, I make money from it, and I like money.
And it doesn't matter that "no one said so-and-so"; when you whine and bitch that artists just in general dare consider actually having a career from their labor, you're basically saying there's something wrong if someone wants to be compensated for the work they do and prefer that they just shut the fuck up and go work another job. It would be one thing if the original argument was about artists who do lazy, stagnant work, but it wasn't.
I have never seen artists actively parade shooting themselves in the foot to this degree just to be petty. For all of you supporting this shit, I hope that things happen for you exactly the way you want and you never make a fucking dime off your art.

This artist makes diary comics about their alleged sexual relationship with their birth father, who is allegedly a comic artist himself. The theory floating around is that Laika is the incest kink persona of another deranged coomer named null_backdoorho created after she lost a close friend for drawing incest kink art. It's interesting that Laika recently posted a comic about getting blocked by friends. I don't know if I believe that they're the same person, but they're definitely cut from the same degenerate cloth.

She probably just likes tricking people into thinking that she's actually fucking her dad and that she's this huge mysterious figure. And also because she likes incest maybe she gets off on pretending to be that character. I said ARG because of all the stuff she made up as if she's talking about a different world (her dad's books having a huge fandom on tumblr, her being harassed because it came out that she's fucking her dad) but honestly I think a better term would be roleplaying. She's roleplaying as a character she wrote in her fanfictions (the fanfics she wrote pretty much half confirm that it's made up), and her mutuals go along with it because they either believe her or are also roleplaying with her.
The last time I looked at what she was doing was literally a year ago though, so some of what I'm saying could be outdated.

I'm starting to think I'm never going to draw again despite the fact I know I'm already decent enough and could definitely improve a huge amount with some effort. The reason is, I forget where I heard it, but someone once said that artistic skill depends on an ongoing battle between your hand and your eye.
>The people most capable of artistic greatness have an eye that always remains ahead of their hand, which causes them to continuously improve and improve as they attempt to satisfy their eye, which in turn becomes more discerning as time goes on. These people will always be dissatisfied even as their art objectively improves to high levels.
>People who stagnate or are unable to learn have eyes and hands that are equal. These people also tend to be the most joyful in creating their art because their eye can be satisfied with what their hand produces. So their skill level will remain lower, but their satisfaction from creating art is high.
I used to be an advanced artist for my age, but as I became more and more dissatisfied with my eye always zooming in front of my hand, I stopped drawing seriously and gave up because I realized no matter how much work I put in and how much I improve, I will never be happy with my work. These days I'm definitely far behind other serious artists in my age group for this reason, which is difficult to come to terms with. I sometimes have creative ideas I want to execute purely because I want to see that sort of content, but I never wind up trying because I know I'll never actually like the result, and when you're drawing just for yourself… that defeats the point. As a result I haven't drawn in years and just waste hours on youtube every day doing nothing at all. It makes me feel like, what's the point in doing anything? I don't want to sit like a lazy fucker doing nothing for the rest of my life, but doing things won't satisfy me either. I feel like one day I will an hero out of shame for doing nothing ever.

I think that shit about hand and eye and all that art theory stuff about an artist's mindset or whatever is only making you overthink things even more and waste your time. You've got to stop giving a fuck and just do what feels right, what feels fun, what you enjoy. Otherwise you'll go nowhere because you're too afraid to fail. Remember that even a mediocre piece can help you learn a lot. Unless you're trying to stagnate like a "just my style" 15 year old Twitter artist, your next piece will probably be better because you obviously are self-aware. That's how you improve.

I don't really do much digital art (analogue artfag), and I mostly draw on my iPad Pro when I do. I've been using Procreate fine for nearly a decade but I caught my eye on Clip Studio Paint. They have an iPad program in addition to the computer program. However, the example drawings I saw were 90% weeb shit like picrel, and I don't make that kind of art (I usually create realistic and semi-realistic art). Would CSP be a better match than Procreate for art that is non-anime/cartoony, or would it be a waste of time even considering it?

As for the UI like other anons have mentioned before it can be customized and if you don't want to do it yourself you can find some pre-made UI settings in the assets page too.
And finally for the monthly payment- yeah, it's the only downgrade for me. The computer version is one-time payment only, but the iPad one has a monthly subscription. I personally don't think it's expensive though, considering what the program can do. I'd say it's a pretty damn good price for what you'll get.

No. 1544908
>>1544551Exactly. An active effort to make post-modern anti-art has nothing to do with something like Impressionism which is still an attempt to make something that is aesthetically pleasing even if it's less based on reality than more realistic styles. Also imagine if all art was as realistic as possible, you can depict literally anything you can imagine in art, why would we choose to stick to portray reality accurately in every piece? Pretty and lively colors, interesting angles or visual effects, unnatural but pleasing shapes, all of that and more can enhance a piece.
Usually "pieces" like the duct-taped banana are made to prove some point, as a joke, or literally just to sell some bullshit and get even richer while shitting on the other rich bastards who buy it. This kind of "work" is not "traditional" art in any sense and it's not actually about the art but about challenging the concept of it and the art world. So I wouldn't even consider it art, unlike Impressionism.

No. 1545303
>>1544908I think one of the goals of art is to affect the viewer in some way. Seeing a banana does not affect anyone, seeing a banana taped to a wall at a professional gallery does. So I do think it counts more than a joke, or that the creator was making fun of artists. More like they were making fun of the fine art scene.
The point is, art shouldn't be gatekept. There are professional standards if you are trying to achieve a certain look, but there shouldn't be some god-rules about what everyone should consider "good"/professional art.

I sometimes use color pencils, colored pens, alcohol markers, crayons pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I like ornamentation and detail so I use metallic accents and sometimes use beads, rhinestones, gold leaf, stickers, etc to achieve that. I dont want to ramble but pretty much any traditional medium that I can access I am willing and happy to use. Watercolor is my longest mainstay and probably my favorite though.

Not really art 'salt', but I really love this emerging YouTube art trend of breaking down complex digital art styles through studies while the 'student' explains their thought process. See, if these videos were just about copying the piece and doing nothing else with the material, I'd be irritated at lack of originality and style theft. But because these videos always have at least some attempt to analyse the artist's thought process, stylistic choices, colour theory, composition, etc. etc., it feels like they're encouraging the viewer to find inspiration and understand HOW and WHY the original artists go about laying down the fundamentals. It's a very healthy shift in mindset, and I love it. Just off the top of my head, the people hopping on this trend atm are the guy in the linked video, tppo, noelucc and tazak. My only wish for this trend moving forward is that people make an effort to explore other styles outside of just the general 'anime' bubble, but for now, I like what I see. I also hope more mainstream art channels can hop on too, considering that I find most of their 'tutorials' severely lacking in depth. Thoughts?
No. 1550230
>>1550226I think its interesting, I haven't seen that before. I would probably enjoy the video. If I were the artist I dont know that I would like my work being chosen and broken down, though. For one thing, what a study implies and what the artist does are two different things. If the student takes certain shortcuts but the artist does not, the implication that they do would be a bit annoying. I haven't watched the content of video I'm just thinking.
With that said, no one can stop someone from studying a style or art piece and its another thing to be prepared for.

>>1550226OP anon here again, just clarifying my thoughts. This trend isn't perfect, but the reason I'm so keen on it is because (call me optimistic but) it signifies the beginning of a branch away from our current trajectory of learning art off the modern internet. AKA, TikTok. I am so fucking tired of TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and even YouTube tutorials that give their audience step-by-step guides on How To Draw X without providing any understanding of WHY you would choose to draw X that way, or what the underlying form, structure and anatomy of X is, etc. This shit has flooded Pinterest to the point where it's practically unavoidable as an artist using the platform (picrel). Sure, they can be useful for beginners, but if each stepping stone of your art journey consists solely of little bits and bobs collated from random tutorials without any attempt to really dig your claws into the meat of the fundamentals, at some stage you're going to end up hitting a brick wall and you're going to hit it HARD. This new trend should be fairly likely to attract those who have been skimming by on very little substantial knowledge and encourage them to stop and really THINK about what they're doing. WHY do you like this artist? WHAT do you like about them in particular? Why use this or that art program? Why this shape language? These colours? What's the underlying anatomy at play? Even if art noobs come out the other side without changing much about their style, I hope they begin putting some much deserved thought into where they actually want their art to go and why. At the very least, I hope they'll finally start taking a step for themselves.

I just meant people churning out the same generic type of art, not intentionally, but because it's a popular style.

>>1550340Hi anon! I'm currently using a PC and Wacom, but have used an Ipad and apple pencil in the past. Personally, (this is a very unpopular opinion, mind you), I fucking hate Procreate. It's too inorganic, too clean, and feels corporate. That said, I don't actually enjoy many other IOS art programs either. Clip Studio is definitely worth it if you're okay with paying the subscription fee for tablets. Otherwise, Autodesk Sketchbook is pretty okay, followed up by Medibang, which is just about tolerable. IbisPaint is an option, but, uh. It sucks. Tbh, and again this is my opinion, Ipad's are super overrated and give the fake illusion that your art will be better because of it, like uni students scrambling to download Notion for notes. If you do decide to use an Ipad, do so with the knowledge that it is simply a tool, and not a particularly strong one at that. Samsung isn't much better either. But, if you ever get a smaller Wacom model then you can easily pirate SAI or buy the one-time purchase of Clip Studio which are both fantastic and far better than anything on Ipad/Samsung. Also, small Wacoms + their bluetooth feature actually make them surprisingly portable. But ultimately it's up to you.

>>1550340I disagree with the other anons, got an ipad and procreate a few years ago and I actually really like it.

Also I really like the more simple ui and the gestures, I really hate cluttered programs. Oh and you can set shortcuts for things you do often which are really nice and come to you instincively after a while.

Sorry if this topic has been covered before, but is it okay if I trace these figures?

>>1551478Damn, I’m sorry. I feel like it had the opposite effect for me. I hadn’t done art in a really long time but then got a hand-me-down iPad from my sister and that was all I used for a while. I kind of liked how simple it was and it made it so I could just focus on drawing more than figuring out where everything is. Last year I got a real art tablet and CSP but it stresses me out to even glance at it. I do hate procreate for that reason (it spoiled me with how simple the UI is) but overall I think it’s a decent little program for the price.
No. 1551962
>>1551478Don’t put yourself down nona, if procreate isnt working for you there are other programs you can try. If you aren’t used to digital art or ipads in general though, I have to say the transition from traditional to digital is always weird and feels a little awkward. I also used to trace and colour my traditional drawings and some people genuinely have a workflow where they sketch traditional first and colour it in in and polish it digitally.
It’s a different medium so just experiment around, you can also download and try a bunch of different brushes to see if it helps. I hope you find the joy in drawing digitally and make lots of art.

I decided to pick up art again at 23 after years of on-and-off drawing without any formal training. I'd say it was a risky thing to do, I've seen people start even later in life. One of the things that I somewhat regret is I didn't enter art school (for the connections) and see people my age graduate and pursue art as a career.
At the time I was 18, I felt like I didn't envision a clear career or future for me in the field, bare in mind that I don't live in burgerland. People just want to be a designer just for the sake of having a steady job after graduation (no shade to that) and I just don't wanna be a designer. I set it aside and pick up another career path, I love it but inside I know that I want to be someone who would create for a living.
I hope that other anons in this thread don't feel like it's too late to start working on something that you love, not everything is a race and you have all the time in the world. Starting is more important than how you start.

what artists do you like to study? i know he's a furfag but i love Aruurara's approach to figure drawing. He also recommends really good books on his twitter. I picked up Morpho thanks to him and i am really glad i did because i love this approach to construction.
>>1566262same! i started at 19 during the pandemic. I stopped for a while because i wanted to work as an animator and that's pretty much a dead career nowadays. But now i picked it up again and i am having fun both drawing and studying art.

>>1566552I would say one of the most important aspects of applying to a museum would be to think about what part/aspect of the museum you want to go into. Do you want to be involved with collections management and cataloguing? Are you interested in art restoration or preservation? Do you want to be in the gallery installing and handling the artwork, or designing exhibition components and graphics?
Narrowing down what exactly you want to do at the museum will definitely help you when you apply. Though all those jobs might happen at the same place, collections, preservation/restoration and exhibitions are all pretty different jobs with only a little overlap (some museums might not have preservation/restoration programs). That being said, if the internship you apply to will teach you how to use The Museum System or any other cataloguing system, that will be immensely helpful to you if you decide to pursue more jobs in museums or art management, since many jobs postings will state preference for candidates who are familiar with them.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
Pixiv is banning loras aka AI that steals specific styles. Still shitty they even allow AI to begin with, but its something…
https://www.pixiv.net/info.php?id=9522>>1566938i think the pose is boring, the colors are dull, the hammer lacks volume and i am not a huge fan of the messy shading. Sorry for sounding so snobby i just see like 500 of similar pieces on twitter and it bores me.

>>1564692Kind of a sad truth. Art is such a personal and egocentric pursuit that it's hard to avoid things like feelings of competition. My closer art friends have been the ones who draw and paint so differently from me that there is much less of an inherent tendency to compare my work to theirs.
>>1564455This has been somewhat true in my experience but it ultimately depends on where you live. If you live somewhere with a thriving animation/games art scene, you're less likely to find boomers at those meetups.

>>1566088>>1565648Ayrt thanks nonas. So I can be successful if I'm self taught, I just need to become business savvy, and have a more experienced person periodicially check my progress so I stay on track. I'm guessing networking will also be harder if you're starting out on your own.
Does anyone know reliable resources or tips for networking and business stuff? I don't mean generic advice like that youtube girl with glasses who's posted here sometimes.

let out frustrations by being misandrists instead.
>>1563479I feel you. It's gotten real harder befriending people with all the gender shit and pronunce having. I can't even stick to a fandom long enough. And I don't want to start infighting but theres another group that's everywhere even in women's OC circles but I don't want to hang out with because we wouldn't have much in common.

>>1567653 i haven't practice everyday because of work and stuff but i'm wondering if i should just give up now if nothing will get better. this image is something i painted last year. an art teacher told me i'm good enough to get work but i find it hard to believe. i'm really not fishing for compliments here. i haven't drawn or painted in weeks because i don't even know what to do anymore.

>>1567714it's ironic you say this because i've never been able to get more than 300 followers on any platform in the entire time i've been making stuff. doesn't seem like anyone likes my work except people who see stuff i make IRL and they tell me im good. none of my art teachers said anything negative about my work and they never understood why i'm so frustrated. it's very rare for me to like thing that i make. it always feels so boring.
what i really want to make are graphic novels. i made a few pages of one of my stories but gave up because it looked like shit because i don't habe an art style.
