Are there any artists on here that would like to vent their salt about mediocre Youtube artists? or anything art related?

HC Brown is prolly the most annoying obnoxious mediocre artist with 100K subs I've ever come across on youtube. Her art is very tumblr & stiff, I dont understand how she even became relevant. Her calarts rants is prolly what made me dislike her the most.

I think she became relevant because she posted her same face syndrome video and it got a shit ton of views, same with her Anatomy mistakes that young artists make.
Both kept getting recommended to me, I couldn't get away from them

On a different note,to add to the discussion; the only artists that are worth watching on Youtube are Audra Auclair and like, Iraville(they don't upload much tho). Joysan is also really pleasant/ I like art and her vlogs, same with Fran Meneses. Ashiyaart and pearfleur do some pretty stuff. An underrated gem is rabbitfears who does some really incredible artwork, how they're not super popular is beyond me.

sketchynatalia and Juicy ink are ok
Jacquelindeleon and happyDartist are ok too but both their art suffers severely from same face syndrome.
Jellie bee is eh, tumblr artsyle and draws alot of SU. Greywick is a tumblrina(agender pansexual (they/them)) has a large following and a heavy chibi/tumblr artstyle and draws mostly OCs/Dan and phil/markiplier/jackcepticeye etc.. fanart/.Their art is decent

Mediocre tier - I can't stand Baylee Jae or Holly hearts art(whos basically a Baylee Jae wannabe)
lemiacrescent and HC Brown are mediocre, whiny, and annoying as fuck and have figured out art drama videos = 100k+ subcribers

Omg anon yes! I loathe baylee & her basic ass art, which begs the question.. How do any of these popular artist not learn about fluidity & anatomy?

How the hell does Baylee have a job in animation and afford all these fancy tools but she can't even draw?

Sketchynatalia is just alright as well. Personally I can't stand her voice and she has a very nondescript face, but her art isn't bad. Not interesting, but not bad.

Lemiacresent's coloring is beautiful, but she's got hardcore horse-sameface going on and her OCs look really obnoxious.

Holly is just a miserable bridge troll. I saw a thumbnail with her face on it and the first thing that came to mind was "female Quasimodo". She's prolific, but I hope she soon realizes that she's got zero fanbase beyond equally greasy teen fujoshis.

This video was in my suggested for so long that I broke down and watched it. I've never wanted to choke the "Your teacher wants you to learn the rules before you break them," line into someone so much as I did when watching this.

She's so full of herself, and this drawing is horrifying - the amount of asskissing in the comments is astounding. "My teachers dont get that its just my style too!!!1 I luv ur art!"

Hmm, I see. I find her art extremely off-putting but it's interesting to hear what you guys have to say.
For me, I feel odd about the motives. I guess, internet cats paintings don't float my boat. And I don't like the paint application, it looks random to me in a trial and error kinda way. Also makes me feel like she tries hard to avoid defined shapes. I don't have anything against this sort of style, it just rubs me the wrong way in this case. And I think the colours are childish. With the cat motives it's all too cheesy for my taste and the animal colours which often are realistic and the colours around seem to clash in my eyes in most paintings. But that's all subjective. Maybe was a little quick with "atrocious"..

Kek, I was waiting for this thread to pop up.
I don't understand these art youtubers, their art is usually mediocre. They give career advice without actually having a "career".

I do actually work in the art field and I'm shocked by their popularity, most of them are college dropouts (so they don't even have a degree, which would be fine if that did not reflect on their lack of skill) talking like professionals while drawing in a how to draw manga style.

Holly Brown has a lot of knowledge theory-wise but for some reason her art is so melty and doesn't reflect any of that. If you try to critique her art (how she draws jaws too big, necks too thick) she gets extra defensive in the comments. But then teaches her audience to "take critique". I'm so confused.

That is true. She also kept going on about how thumbnailing comics isn't necessary, how she's so good at backgrounds (and never skips on them unlike anime artists) and inking, etc. but look at how she placed the characters on the top. They're sinking in the panel. She eyeballs her perspective constantly so her backgrounds are always deformed, and in this page we can see she herself skips on drawing them half the time. Even her inking isn't good because she doesn't use thinner pens for background elements, which makes everything flat. In that middle panel, the two characters completely blend into the scenery, it's bad inking.

There was also a time when Holly tried to animate and would tell her audience that animation is SOO easy, it's just time consuming!! well… search her animations in her channel for a laugh.

Sorry for rant, it's just I'm afraid they're creating this mentality in kids to disregard their art teachers, don't get a degree because "you don't need one in this field so that makes university useless" and draw bad anime because fuck everyone's opinions (surprise, anime art in western countries will hardly get you any work, specially if it's to the quality of OP's video)

i've said it before in another thread and i'll say it again: the marker of a lazy artist is that (almost) everything is face-on

these faces have about as much emotion in them as the blank wall in that back panel to start with - sigh guy looks like he's doing some office-style fourth-wall-break talking to the audience moment

also why do all of her lines look like someone put them through a vector program set to make everything as few lines as possible? why are some lines (sleeve of right guy in top panel) just straight out missing?

I've worked traditionally​ in ink for years and I honestly don't get why anyone would vectorize it. Vectorizing your ink work doesn't automatically make it good, it just picks up every flaw in your lines. Like, she couldn't be bothered to smooth out any of those lines either when she was done. Drop an anchor point and fix it. It's just the lazy way out to me imo

No. 184174

>>184170
My guess would be that she had a rough sketch and thought live tracing it would be a shortcut to actually inking it. Which would probably explain why part of the sleeve didn't show up in the one panel because the line was most likely drawn weird enough so it wasn't picked up by the filter. :/ When I was in college, a lot of people I knew used this shortcut on some of their projects when they were running out of time because they procrastinated lol

It just means all the characters look the same. All she does is go on about how the first drawing is of a girl who "looks dumb", but the second one "maybe looks smart". Both are generic and ugly.
It would've been decent if she had just drawn like two or three girls with the same expression/face shape, and then two or three girls with different ones to compare.

Those asses are made of cardboard

I noticed in every community there's usually the super politically correct people which make up the majority and then there are a couple of edgelords that drive in the part of the audience that is anti SJW and too edgy. Holly is filling that role here and that's why her videos are popular. Nobody ever actively compliments her art that much, only her personality or her fujoshit comic characters.

She always complains about 12 year olds but I recall people telling their ages once in a stream and her entire audience was 14-16.

Why does every guy she draw end up looking like Jay Leno… Ew.

No. 185030

Okay I found this video and I can't get over it.

So this is the draft of her comic Purgatory, she worked on this while attending art school which from personal experience is not an easy thing to do, with school being so time consuming. She hates it so she rebooted it to the new "much better version" but honestly… compare it to her final comic. How does someone get worse? and she has the entire day to work on this thing now, good god.

Sure, the anatomy here already was melty and off, but it's visually pretty interesting. Even without the dramatic lighting and colors it has this goth comic style, the backgrounds actually provide ambiance and aren't just "there" and the characters are actually expressive, instead of giving the same smug Jay Leno face in every panel.

As much as she wants to claim she's so hard working compared to this version of the comic she's slacking big time. Even in her old, lazy "white background" panels she did interesting effects to suggest space (4:13).

Even the comments on this video agree lol people would rather read this version

I'm guessing that youtube money's gonna dry up soon.

I thought these died out by 2012 but apparently someone still thinks she's a genius for making this groundbreaking remark.

She has 'in my opinion' and 'stiff' blacklisted, saying that "she knows her art is stiff and people can stop telling her about it".
She had to suddenly pay like 18,000$ because of taxes, could pay it off on the spot with no problems but joked about "I'm poor now haha" while sitting on her fat ass in her fat house buying new shit every day. Have you seen her toy room? It's completely stuffed to the ceiling with expensive shit.
Also she used to have a patreon but has it closed/uses it as a 'tip jar' because her fans are about 10 years old and can't give her any patreon bucks, so YouTube is her only big thing now.

Obviously I am damn jealous of her, to this day I refuse to accept how rich she got with her piss poor art.

There's a whole load of milk from Jellie concerning her former print business (Beespoke) and a robbery that apparently took place during last year's MCM where she 'had most of her convention stock stolen and two suitcases' from wherever it was she was staying and then she refused to tell anyone where it was so they could avoid it.

I have waited for an opportunity to rant about Baylee for ages.

Another thing that makes me hate her is how she lets her cats treat her drawing equipment and her drawings. She lets them sit on and walk over every thing she draws, in one of her vlogs she watched and laughed about how one of her cats pawed and scratched at her cintiq, I think that's when I lost it.
How can you be so careless about your expensive art supplies?
Oh wait she's rich enough to have a whole room dedicated to her cat's litter boxes and one cat stand with the occasinal trash lying around.

I hate to admit that I kind of used to like her old vlogs, she seemed genuinely nice, even if a little annoying (most terrible laugh I've ever heard), but then I discovered her art channel. Felt like a joke tbh.

Pic related is an original artwork which her parents decided would look professional enough to frame and display on a wall at their house in Arizona, which they are renting out. There's more of Baylee's art hanging on those walls too.

but uh

holly made an animatic too, apparently, considering it just showed up in my suggesteds and fuck me gently with a chainsaw it's so bad. like, it's obvious it was a rush job, with the steep decline in quality by the end, but in general it's just… incredibly poor? shots are framed weirdly, some of the segments she seemed to put more effort into to appear actually "animated" are confusing choices, she seems to have no sense of syncing it to the beat (the mis-timed clapping? tip toppest of keks), the bizarre change in aspect ratio halfway through, the inconsistency with the backgrounds even when the shot of the character remains the same?? it's an absolute shitshow all around and it makes me mad reeeeeee holly get out of my fandom reeeeee

The way characters are cut off triggers me (1:51). What kind of shots are these? even in those where the character looks decently placed, once it moves parts of it are cut off. You need to have the entire action in the shot, Holly, not just the first frame. The poses are so stiff too, there's so much room for more movement… the fight scene killed me.

at first i thought the animatic was done traditionally and edited a little as she put it all together but now that i look at it again it looks like it was all done digitally with brushes that are meant to look "traditional" and just… holy shit, i don't have any fucking words. a fucking cintiq. a c i n t i q.

>>185757
yeah and i don't understand how? and the copious "haha i thought this was you singing at first holly"s in the comments as well… i don't get it, how can anyone look at this and think its anywhere near the definition of "good" or "ok"

>>185759
may i refer you to this (>>183921) post anon, it explains everything you need to know

>>185760
and the 13 yos are consistent, to boot. even as sketchy train-of-thought WIP ideas, their linework is leaps and bounds better – as opposed to holly's who's so utterly lacking in confidence in her lines that she has to trace over every single line she puts down on a piece of paper upwards of a dozen fucking times, among so much else. it's kinda sad, really. especially considering that learning how to be confident in your line placement is one of the easiest ways (imo) to instantly see improvement in the quality of your art, and how much bad art she shits out.

>The faces here, being rushed, are better than the ones she usually does
idk mane those profile views in the boiler room are pretty fucking questionable.
the two other things that really fucking trigger me about the animatic are the fact that she seems to have no understanding of what kind of skirt veronica is wearing (i.e. a tennis skirt) and how that kind of fabric would drape over the figure (it looks like she's wearing a petticoat under her fucking skirt honestly), and all the messy half-hearted scribbling to imply shading. seen throughout the whole video but especially on the crowd in the bleachers. just fucking take a mid tone grey and a big brush size and shade it reeeeeeee
it's so messy and awful looking and just shading with colour as opposed to lines would make it look so much neater (and probs be quicker). but then again if she doesn't scribble we've got nothing to distract us from her shoddy linework so :^)

What do you guys think of bananajamana/Jamie Jo? Her paintings are… okay-ish. (Although there was that big controversy of her fake-painting, so I don't really know what to think.) They're visually appealing and cater to the normie crowd so she's popular because of that, but her personality is so grating and fake. The cutesy shy "poor me!" act is obnoxious as hell. Also, her relationship with her husband creeps me out… they both act like children.

Also, I'm sure she'll see this because she obsessively searches her name and will throw a fit like she did with her GG thread, so that'll be fun.

This animatic gives me life. I've watched it so many times. Each time I find something new wrong with it. Like I love the part where she does a front flip up the stairs.

No. 185941

Wtf is this… she sounds so insecure in this video, like she has no idea what she's talking about (spoilers: she doesn't). Her method is so wishy washy and not helpful at all. She's also skipping foreshortening and focusing only on each element of the face and not the whole. How are her followers supposed to figure that out?

Also, the sketch is terrible. The "perspective" is very subtle there, and the entire face is crooked.

To the art farmers, I'm also an artist, with an art job, and I'm not jealous at all of these people. Sure, I would love to have that income by doing jack shit, but these people are not making money from their art, they're making money from their youtube fame. Envying them is like envying any other youtuber with no particular skill. They're famous because they provide entertainment to some, and because their watchers are even worse at art than them so they're easily impressed. One day they will wash out like every other youtuber because they're mildly famous, not pewdiepie famous, and like in any other job, without any experience in the real world and subpar art, though tit. I can't imagine any of these chicks still making money from these crap videos at 40.

Not to say a youtube channel or social media presence for extra cash and publicity is bad, but the formula to success is combining that with an actual job and a good resume.

The "you should give up if you're not talented" thing pisses me off so much. Who has the audacity to even say that? Why is she knocking other people down?

One of my favorite artists replied to an anon who said they felt untalented whenver they tried to draw and they basically said "I don't believe in talent" and it really struck me, because yeah, FUCK talent. Some people don't start from the bottom, but that doesn't mean they also put in their share of hard work to get better. I've come to hate to downplay all the hard work my favorite artists put in to get where they currently are by just saying that it's talent. No, it's 99% hardwork and 1% talent. I respect all the time and effort they've put into their art, and I'm not going to dismiss it as simply talent. No one should give up just because they aren't good right off the bat.

Her videos helped me a lot with basic facial structure/shading and anatomy in general. She's a great artist.

I agree, I was put off by her at first but she's actually pretty sweet. Her google+ community is also really accessible, they offer some pretty solid advice.
Though, I'm also someone how had my best therapy session when my therapist bluntly said, "You know…you're really depressing to be around. Just stop dwelling on it."

I double checked, she was a professor, she mentioned it a a few times (though she has so many long videos).

No shame in a turdy painting, but omg, you can't learn by doing the stuff you're already good at! Aguh!

If I remember correctly (I watched this video some weeks ago), her point in this video was that you have to consider the character's story, i.e origins, when you draw them. In her example, I think she talked about a character who comes from a desert (iirc). The one on the right is the first design and she deems it bad. She thinks the one of the left, the new design is better because shes's thought about the features and why they're the way they are.

It's always supplies this, Copics that. It seems like she makes more videos more about art supplies than actual art. Aside from the markers you rarely see her use anything else more than a few times, then it's onto the next thing.

I've been keeping my eye on her for years now and it seems she hasn't even improved at all. She's still shitty. Baylee is the Michelle Phan of the YT art community.

I think it's more of the connotations of Copic/marker drawings, than the actual medium themselves. You don't really see a lot of commercial or pro-level work done with them (as far as I know? I can only think of industrial design or concept art mockups done with them). They just seem to be limited to weebs on youtube and relics on DA.

I don't know about others but as a young weeb who couldn't afford a tablet, but could spend pocket money on a few markers that make totally flat layers of colour 'just like in anime and manga covers' they seemed like the better option. I guess thats what they are popular, and ofc them being from japan helps

>>187475
I mean, plenty of pro artists defiantly own alcohol markers, but only really seem use them just to lay down quick flat colour or shading to commissions (Like the quick sketch commissions you see at comic cons). Ive never seen a full peice done with JUST markers by a professional artist, trying to blend and work with copics in the way baylee does is imo time consuming and not really what they are made for.

I get that the copic brand is kind of like a 'designer' name that people like to show off on yt and instagram but imo if you want to get into markers the winsor & newton brushe markers are miles better, and cheaper

I was on DA in the 2000s, and the most popular illustrators used Prisma and Copic markers. However most of them have moved on to digital art because its easier, faster, and has a go-back button to fix mistakes. I agree that using using markers is a noob thing to do.

yep they tend to fade overtime, especially under sun/UV light

No. 187503

Most traditional materials damage under sun or UV light, acrylic or oils discolor, Paper yellows etc. That's why most museums keep every piece of direct light and companies put original artwork into storage.

That's probably also why digital art is prefered for commercial work nowadays, it's faster and easier to fix. Some clients still like traditional sketches done with marker/watercolor but almost every product is finished digitally nowadays.

I don't know, I particularly like using markers because I enjoy doing tradicional, sometimes even more than digital. Also I can't have a tablet and a pc everywhere, so markers and colored pencils are super handy for me, at least. I don't enjoy using paint as much, save for watercolor.

But yeah, copics are way fucking overpriced. They are like the apple of art supplies. I mean, yeah, they are nice, but overrated, have a cult following and became more of a status than anything else. Some chinese markers are way more cost-benefit friendly, lmao

I saw someone mentioned her earlier in the thread but is anyone else sick of BananaJamana? I'm just hate watching her at this point. Any time she gets hate comments she has to make a video about it and about how it doesn't affect her but she's just searching for ass pats and compliments. That video she made a few weeks ago where she was like "I don't know if I can be considered an artist, I'm not good enough~" Was such bullshit.

I get that her schtick is being cutesy and stuff but holy shit she's starting to embarrass herself. If I was sick I would never vlog and keep in cuts of me blowing my nose ~cutely.

It's funny how many of these YouTube "artists" (along with Baylee) are such children. They all collect toys and Disney stuff and generally act like preteens. What's creepier in this situation is Jamie's husband buys her all this stuff and enables this because he collects this stuff too. So weird. DDLG vibes lol.

Honestly, she really isnt that skilled. Of course, she has more skill than the average person but after watching her for a while her lack of actual understanding of art fundamentals is really noticeable. Her realism paintings of people are always off, you can tell she has never studied anatomy or done life drawing sessions and just copies directly from photos for everything she makes. If she took some classes I bet she could improve pretty quick

No. 188330

Yeah it pisses me off how popular those paintings of hers are. Her original stuff is always worse than the photorealism. It seems all circa 2005 deviantArt tier with the "cute faces on inanimate objects" and whatnot.

Her crafts and baking seem to be very good though, at least hell of a lot better than what I could do, it's just the manner she presents them in that drives me nuts. I just wanna see how it's made (which she does generally show off well with minimal amounts of her shoving her face in the camera) but there's always like a solid minute of her at the end posing and acting cutesy with whatever she made and it's just so cringey. Or when she's filming a video and she randomly starts showing off stuff she bought or her husband bought her like… okay, that's nice, why was that necessary?

But no. Nico is now Hafu because her name is short for Nicole, Eli and Rin are trans and Nozomi is a self projection of herself. It's just gross.

2D art is all pleb-tier. Marble sculpture or GTFO.

I don't think anyone here thinks copics are bad, its just a fact that they are relatively outdated in professional contexts. Older experienced professionals will still use them but someone with a budding career is better served familiarizing themselves with a digital workflow especially as clients now have begun to expect multiple renditions of a piece to choose from (different tints, colorschemes etc).

There is an artist that recently got suspended on Twitter due to false DMCA reports that has blown up on my Twitter feed. He goes by the name of Slugbox, he's just your usual anime hentai artist. After he got suspended on Twitter, some users decided to come out of the woodwork and celebrate their victorious day after being silent for god knows how long about him. Many of them called him a pedophile because he "drew child porn". At first, i thought these were just your typical tumblr SJW spergs spouting words they only know when they hate an artist. But i did discover Slugbox did draw a 9-12 year old character named Vanellope from Wreck-It-Ralph in some NSFW art and NSFW situations. Slugbox said he'll be back in a matter of days and i wanted to document all of the tweets in relation to him.

I can't help but laugh at some of the tweets. They came out of nowhere and it will give me a giggle when he comes back. Won't be surprised to see some of these people triggered or these tweets deleted. Just wanted to share these tweets with ya'll. Enjoy.

Same anon as before. Slugbox is back on Twitter posting regularly again. As for the people i posted earlier, they've been pretty quiet about him. Most of them haven't spoke about him for the past few hours, even a whole day. Some people have theorized that any Slugbox fan who finds these users shitting on him are taking their Twitter accounts down with false DMCA reports. Everyone, of course, is blaming Slugbox and his fanbase. I found one user named Nefepants, who had their Twitter suspended and went to tumblr and blamed Slugbox himself and his fans. The person who reported nefepants told them "I have your IP address uwu". Here are some links if you want a nice little laugh. http://nefepants.tumblr.com/post/161056931454/oh-boy-the-piece-of-shit-who-got-my-twitter http://nefepants.tumblr.com/post/161036936669/so-i-just-found-out-that-multiple-accounts-that-i http://nefepants.tumblr.com/post/161039249664/because-the-asshole-who-reported-my-account-made My favorite is probably how nefe states that Twitter is full of "fucking redneck racists" despite the fact they made a new Twitter account. https://twitter.com/NefeRex

Here's another compile of Tweets i dug up. The picture of the person wearing Slugbox's shirt on the bottom left was a tweet by Slug's friends, if you're curious. The user simply took their image and just voiced their opinion about them wearing it.

One of the tweets (the bolded one in the far left column) is confusing me. Did he draw actual real children (like Shadbase) or IRL adults and underaged characters?

Like, the latter is iffy (I find it creepy when people make fanart/fanfics of IRL people at all, never mind sexual stuff), but the former is full-out disgusting. I'm not sure if there's any laws anywhere that actually cover that though, unless your family decides to sue as defaming your image.

Most people think he got suspended cause he drew porn of Dot from Animaniacs and he also drew porn of Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck-It-Ralph. That's what most people say when they mean Slugbox drew "child porn".

He's never drawn porn of actual children, like Shadman. Mostly just fictional cartoon or anime characters. I spoiler'd the picture he drew along a few others, they're all on his Pixiv account. You'll need an account to see them.

Lazy as hell but at his skill level he makes more off of it with patreon compared to anything he could do with actual effort or originality.

When you surround yourself with so many artist it's hard not to notice. I'm sure she knows, but she probably falls back on the 'well I have more subs so HA" train of thought.

LoveTeacupKisses is starting to show some cow behaviors. Usually she's very sweet, but my opinion of her totally changed when she uploaded this video a few weeks ago.

She comes across as really whiny in this video and those tears are totally forced. It seems like she's trying to wring some pity out of her subs so she can revive her unsuccessful Patreon. It just seems so disingenuous and manipulative, especially with that thumbnail of her sobbing. Instead of improving her channel, marketing herself better and making more videos she chooses to get on camera and whine so her subs will give her asspats and throw her dollars.

Honestly I generally like YouTube artists as long as they aren't total trash. A lot of people here seem to dislike Baylee Jae, but tbh I like her based on personality, and she's said she knows her art is mediocre in videos.

Options on other YT artists…

YES - Jazza, Doodle Date, Baylee, Waffles, Chloe Rose, Jenna Drawing

Sure - Jellie Bee, KiraKiraDoodles

Meh - Lemia, Happy D

Nah - Art Ala Carte, BananaJamana

NONONO - Mark Crilley, HC Brown

TBH my art is pretty trash so I can't rant about others having bad art, but Holly's art is garbage. Most people I don't like are mostly because people annoy me too easily. If they aren't on the list I've either never seen them or liked them so little I ignored them

a HUGE issue with digital web artists is that we just do not apply ourselves. even with the shittiest skill level, some dedication, diligence and knowing what market to cater to could turn the skill into a stable income source. getting jealous and whiny of the people who did do that instead of monetizing your own skills is a big waste.

you need to get on insta, post twice daily, and tag as many applicable things as possible; use half art tags (#digitalart #animegirl #design) and half popular tags (#makeup #pretty #ootd). only draw fanart until you hit 3k, then you can do what you want. youtubers are really popular in general, and drawing any famous people can catch their eye and get a shout out.

any cartoony or anime style will get attention; its much harder to be liked for real trained skills and paintings, and easier with talents and drawings (compare roberto ferri to mioree). if you colored a traditional drawing digitally, normal people get immensely fascinated by that and like it. make your whole workspace look good before you photograph the drawing.

like/comment/follow artists you like; their followers see that and will follow you too. keep that up for a month, and you'll have a solid following to sell to.

is it wrong of me to not like Jazza? His art makes me feel weird, and most of it has some uncanny valley attributes.

You can achieve smooth layers of color using wet into dry, but you should have enough paint to cover your surface. In Baylee's case, she's using way to small brushes for the surface.It just seems she's trying to use watercolors as if they were markers rather than learning how to apply the medium.

Not surprised HC Brown isn't in it, if she would stop being so unfriendly and drop this bitter bitch persona she could actually get somewhere.
Before she was "famous" I actually thought about befriending her and even buying something from her store(even with the wonky anatomy), but the more I watched her videos the more sour and a hypocrite she grew to be, it was pretty sad to watch but oh well, she doesn't seem like shes gonna change any time soon she's way too far up her own ass

True enough, but your criticisms half the time are terrible. Criticizing Baylee on patchy watercolor? Absolutely fair. Saying that every artist in the collective except Sophira is terrible and they're only doing it for attention? Not really criticism, and not really true. Criticism works best when it's actually true, when you start saying decent artists are all terrible just because they're not the absolute best, you look biased and petty.

It seems here that either you're really good, or you're really bad, with no room for artists in between. Lets be real, MOST of the artists in the collective are average artists, but that doesn't make them bad. It makes them decent artists, some of whom are better than others, all of whom are improving. To call them all terrible or just looking for attention is simply incorrect.

Talking about personality flaws is also totally valid IMO, but to say "every artist in the collective wants attention" isn't specific. But I would agree personality is a perfectly valid thing to discuss, like Baylee's response to criticism.

>Saying that every artist in the collective except Sophia is terrible and they're only doing it for attention? Not really criticism, and not really true

I mean sure, you have some good level headed points here anon, especially about them being average! (Not to white knight)
But I also can't blame people for having high standards, I mean when I look for incredible artists, youtube isn't necessarily my first choice. Instagram, twitter , tumblr..etc, have a ton of really great popular artists that set the bar pretty high so it's easy to take one look at these popular artists on youtube and immediately compare them, especially since most people here are artists (I hope) and everyone knows how critical artists can be about themselves and others.
Not only does their skill play into this but also their personalities, like HC Brown for example, she's a decent artist but her attitude is awful and a huge turn off

Hmm the attention thing can be argued but eh, most people on youtube are thirsty for attention so
The thread is called general Artist SALT for a reason
I just wish there were more really good (non average) artists on youtube, it's more inspiring and helpful to watch someone who's really good as opposed to someone who is at the low/average level that's just me personally tho

No. 201526

>>201525

Thanks, I appreciate that! You make some good points as well. Perhaps it's because the medium of making art on a video inhibits the ability to make good art to an extent? I tried once or twice and you have to adjust your position and drawing angle so that the camera can actually see what you are doing, and I can imagine it would be harder to film a long extended piece that takes more time to create? Whereas with instagram, twitter, tumblr, you're not filming and documenting the process, so you can take as much time as you want to create it, you don't have to worry about getting in the way of the camera and lighting and all that stuff.

That said, Audra is really phenomenal, as well as Danica Sills - and I really like Iraville as well, if you haven't ever seen her stuff. A lot of the good artists don't upload as frequently, probably as they spend longer on their pieces? I do think a lot of the collective girls are talented though, and they do seem to be improving, even if they're not at Loish or Audra level. Kirsty Partridge also creates some really beautiful stuff. I agree, it's really inspiring to watch someone who really really knows their stuff.

You've got a point about it being called artist salt as well, i can't really come into a thread about bitching and complain about bitching! I don't mind bitching, I guess I just felt like a lot of it wasn't for a valid reason.

No. 201527

oh and I definitely agree about the personality thing, 100%.

No. 201533

Audra's art is beautiful but her personality is very obnoxious at times, with the whole feminist-activist crap. One time in the middle of a voice over she started whining about someone on the street using a leaf blower and muh environment. I think she has toned it down lately where I actually managed to sit through some videos, which is good because her art is pleasant to look at.

No. 201534

a think a lot of the salt also stems from the fact you have so many budding artists taking their first dip into creativity following average Youtube creators, who most of the time have no real insight or knowledge to pass onto them because they don't know what they're doing in the first place. the fact Baylee is publishing an art tutorial book when she has little grasp of the fundamentals herself ( something she's seemingly aware of, even ) is ridiculous.

No. 201540

>>201525
>>201526
Let's be real, the whole anonymous forum salt is for people to vent their immediate feelings and not have to deal with consequences, so a lot of thoughts here probably don't even reflect what people think completely and are mostly moved by emotion and impulsion.

The reason most of the popular Youtubers are really just average (or below average) artists is because video making and actual art making are different skills.
You can have someone who is pretty good at creating content on Youtube, yet their videos are centered on something really unimpressive. Just notice how some of those storytelling girls have over 1 million subscribers. Eventually you can find some gem where the person is good at both, but it's not always the case.

Kelly Eddington Watercolors
Lioba Brückner
Marco Bucci

>>Germans not being honest and blunt
That's German 101. Sounds like you haven't been around Germans by saying that. Obviously a generalization doesn't apply to everyone. Note that the bluntness does not equal rudeness, tho. It just may be considered rude when you're used to people telling white lies all the time. I myself find that no-bullshit approach delightful and not rude at all, because it's usually a kind of honesty that carries little to no malice.

She'd probably use her yt pennies to just buy more tho if that happened cos her husband probably pays all the house bills etc so why not.

I'm neutral on Bananajamana. Her paintings are really average looking, but cute. Her DIYs are ok. She doesn't handle criticism well, and her relationship with her husband makes me sad on a personal level because it seemed so easy for her to just pack up and get a visa for UK, when for me and the guy i've been with for years it's been an exercise in jumping thru hoops except the hoops get smaller and higher as time passes.

These sort of realistic pieces can be really deceiving when it comes to a person's skill. Someone can copy a photo using techniques such as grids. They can be a valuable tool a lot of times, don't take me wrong, but amateurish people sometimes use these kinds of things to copy a picture and make their finished product look much more impressive than what they're usually capable of achieving, getting a lot of praise from people who aren't that familiar with the art making process and thus think this sort of realism is the ultimate showdown of abilities.

Chloe has stated that she's spent years learning to paint and draw realistically and from observation, and she's now trying to learn how to work from her head, so she's at the very start of that journey. She knows it's not very good right now, but I'm sure she will improve. It's just not her strong suit.

yeah sure, but then don't sell it for money, and don't claim to be qualified to offer tutorials

YTAC requires you to sell all artworks completed, she doesn't have a choice. She sold it for $30 and someone made the decision to purchase it - that's not on her, that's on them. If someone felt it was worth $30, that is their decision, and they are the only people responsible for it.

She hasn't done any tutorials on how to draw, especially none on cartoon/non referential drawing. She's given general tips to artists, which is not the same thing. She's skilled in one area and not another, that doesn't mean she can't offer any advice at all.>>202263

No. 202270

>>202268
fair enough if them's the rules, but, you know, if you know you have to sell a piece and it turns out like that, you scrap it, realise you're gonna have to find a reference, and start again

maybe it was a question of time, but still

she does have a tutorial up called 'How to draw a realistic eye' but yeah it's true that the other videos are all of the 'ten top tips' variety, fair enough

No. 202273

>>202268
What? So she's not allowed to post it or even hint that she drew it without selling it? If that's true it's ridiculous. I'm not acting like it's a moral failure for her to be shit at drawing from her mind, I just think that the descrepency between her skillsets is way bigger than usual. If I drew something like that and posted it I would expect negative feedback. Like others have said, she could use a vague reference or even look back to her old realistic portraits to try to piece together some cartoon anatomy. It really looks like she didn't even try.

No. 202276

>>202273
Yes, one of the things in the YTAC is that all the artworks go for sale, so yeah it's just part of the collective. The discrepancy between her skill sets is pretty drastic, but I'm sure she will improve quickly. There was some nice work done in the hair, it's mostly the anatomy that struggled, and she's well aware of that.

Her channel is also primarily comedic videos, hacks, and top tip type things as well, I don't believe she's ever promoted herself as an amazing artist, though I do think she is talented. (If you follow her on twitter she did some lovely work for a magazine recently. She's very good with reference.) I actually think it's pretty cool that someone with a following put up work that isn't as good as she normally creates - I think it shows that it's OK to not be perfect. A lot of these YouTubers have a young audience, and it can be really intimidating if they see stuff like her Supernatural piece all the time. I think it can be really helpful to younger artists to see even more experienced artists struggle with a different style or medium. That's just my opinion though!

It means that all the art that the artists create for the ytac theme has to be put up for sale. So all of them, Baylee, Chloe, Danica Sills, Sophira, all the rest of them… They all create art for the collective every theme, and the art they create gets put up for sale for the fans. If you look a lot of them only ever sell stuff when it comes around to the collective. It's part of what the collective does - fans vote on a theme, they all create art based on it, and then all that art is listed for sale. It's part of the whole thing, basically.

I feel this way about like 80% of modern/abstract art aswell. Like yeah these yt artists bother me, but seeing a canvas painted a solid colour sell for millions of dollars makes me cry a bit on the inside, cos it's not really art imo, it's just clever buying and selling based on who knows whom and who wants what, and what brings about lots of prestige, etc.

Learning to use that in your favour instead of getting salty is the key. First and foremost, before complaining the Chloes and Baylees are popular for no reason because they suck, learn to also recognize their efforts in places other than their own art. Baylee as an example might be beyond mediocre in art, but she puts the right effort into her Youtube channel and that generates results.

I'm constantly surrounded by musicians and I see this happen all the time. You have the technically amazing people who don't achieve much beyond being teachers because even if they are amazing at playing music, the way they present themselves is unappealing. As much as some people like to pretend -it's all about the sound- it really isn't most of the time, people enjoy savouring music as a whole experience, a.k.a also visually. And then they get whinny about how they aren't achieving much because this and that when in reality they are just lacking in other aspects.

You can sit around and cry about how everything is unfair or learn to play the game. And by that I don't mean being something you are not, I'm sure there are appealing things within yourself. Acknowledge them and play your strengths.

I remember this article I read online about a 17-year old kid who sells 5"x7" monochrome portraits for $60 a pop to fund her education for art college.

She acts like a kid in a lot of ways, including the way she goes about her art.

I'm an artist and can get behind some mindless coloring too, but the way she goes about art just reminds me of how I did when I was 12 where I have a completely different approach now.

This seems to be more of a surface problem. It looks like she's using watercolor on gesso which does generally end up having that bloomy, weird effect. It could also be watercolor ground, which I never used to be able to give an in-depth opinion but heard it also absorbs differently than watercolor paper. Can't say it wasn't a bit of poor decision making to choose that surface, tho.
If you check out some other videos, the ones where she uses paper tend to be better. Her biggest problem is the blatant sameface, but technique-wise she's not really usually bad.

>>When you lack in art content so you have to resort to silly drama.
Those drama videos are basically the bottom of the content creator barrel on my book, so the video idea in itself is pretty cringy.
But if we're gonna talk about the "drama" Baylee's opinion is not bad.
Pic related, it's what Jake Parker posted which supposedly generated such drama. And to be honest, how much of a tard you have to be to want to do INKtober digitally? Inktober, the challenge where you are supposed to use ink. It's not that hard to interpret. If you don't want to draw in ink, why do you want to participate? Oh yes, because all the cool kidz are doing eet. I guess they're trying to interpret it as the act of inking instead of the medium ink.
When people stretch the rules up to using watercolors and shit like that I tend to feel like they're trying to fit in without putting the effort to actually do what you're supposed to do in the challenge. But up to that point you can at least argue you did a drawing in ink and just added some more stuff, people wanting to do it digitally is just plain stupid.

Digital artists being anal over this seems like the same kind of people on ART MEME PAGES XDD being mad about someone complimenting them by saying they can't even draw a stick figure.

I wish I existed in the art spaces you frequent but I come across a lot of art majors who feel like the digital medium is damaging the integrity of art and that its only value is for commercial work that they have to "stoop down" to do. This is coming from fucking illustration majors or people who are into comic books/animation.

But yeah, this entire debate is dumb because the intent of Inktober is to push yourself with a difficult medium. I've seen some people do digital inks but try to do as much traditional inking as possible, in spirit of the challenge.

This is actually true. 10 years ago when I started art I looked up to artists who have decent art (by decent art I mean art that doesn't have shit anatomy and lazy coloring like Baylee or Holly's) and once I got used to the fundamentals I find better artists I look up to (oil painters and artists from the past).
The only that sucks is when one of the artists you once looked up to follow have stagnant progress. It's actually sad, to be honest.

Why do these artists insist on using digital software for inktober?

I think baylee is a little obsessed with spending money and buying things; she has bought at least one thing in almost every daily vlog. But I also feel it's more than that. There are alternatives to buying an entire book binding machine that would probably work better/be more cost and time effective. But that would mean bringing in other people to the situation. And I don't know whether it's just that she's so controlling she has to do everything herself, or if she doesn't want people in the printing industry to see her work because it's not very impressive. It's like when she went out and bought an entire table saw set up, when she could have just had the hardware store cut the wood up into pieces for a few dollars. Her reasoning for things often strike me as being dopey and stubborn. And people are trying to bring logic into it when they leave comments, but I think that's a losing battle with her. As she so often says, she, "does what she wants!".

No. 205791

I agree. She has the money to print small amounts of black and white illustrations or even artbooks and then sell them for decent amount. She is popular enough to have a successful kickstarter campaign and still could have the books printed and formatted. Does she really want to spend time to learn all that just to make good looking books, and then spend even more time making them? She could spend that time making more stuff, getting better at art and hang out with her family. I just don't get it. I just don't get her.

bloody hell. all you need to make perfect bound books at home is pva, a brush, a bone folder, brown paper, scrim, a ruler and some binder clips. and needle and thread if you want to sew sections.

OK it takes a little while before your hand bound books are saleable, but, like, ffs baylee at least try doing it yourself first.

and what about printing, has she any idea how much ink and paper costs she's talking about? people use professional printers for a reason. either that or the books she's talking about doing, if it's practical to print at home they will totally be small enough to make by hand. stitched or saddle stitched

I think the best way to describe her buying habits is high time preference, rather than think long term she's thinking in the short term.

No. 205972

You guys are overreacting a little bit. Yes, it does indeed seem like a bit of a stretch to just go and buy a whole bunch of things to make books at home, but at the same time, the way you were talking about it sounded like it costed 10 grand. She's a working adult with a business, a 2 grand investment is not absurd. The most absurd part about it is probably her wanting to make books out of her shitty content instead of improving first, but if she has people eating that shit up, she might as well make some money out of it. Unfortunately that's the nature of the business.

Honestly I think that's almost a smart investment for Baylee standards, I mean, just think for a second about how much money she blows on Disney statues and crap like that. At least this is money spent on something that can give monetary return.

I guess why people are upset is because, given her track record, she more than likely will not stick with the book making.

Probably true. If the demand is too big, which would be the ideal situation if you're looking for profit, she will probably get tired of it like she did with her Patreon and online store.

This reminds me of Baylee talking about thinking she is more on the analytical side (she was comparing it to natural creativeness). Struck me as odd as I see a lot of her behavior as childish, she seems to act on impulse and laziness (not working towards better art) a lot. Not to mention treating creativeness as something natural is already not an analytical thing to do, as creativeness is also something that must be nurtured and worked on instead of just expecting to be naturally creative.

No. 206137

>>206133
Honestly, that's just an excuse to not try making better art. There's more to the art making process than just "creativity," the more you draw the more ideas you'll have to work from.

No. 206142

I agree that creativity is something that needs to be nurtured, but I do think some people are more geared towards that kind of thought process. I don't think she is. Her work almost never has a narrative or particularly interesting aspects of any kind; it usually revolves around wanting to draw a "cute, young woman". I do agree that she doesn't strike me as an analytical thinker either.I felt that was just her grasping at something to make up for her professed lack of creativity.

On another topic; I thought it was ironic that she was cheerleading artist's youtube accounts, and how there are other things out there than gaming and beauty channels, and how the little artist channels can make it big too! Considering it seems like she prioritises gaming over making art these days, that seemed laughable. If she was actually an artist, I don't think she would have stopped streaming art stuff on twitch, and made it all gaming - especially when so many people tell her they wish she hadn't done that.

No. 206143

>>206142
That whole thing with the twitch streams was really disappointing. I did actually enjoy the art streams because it was nice background noise to have while drawing. It also gave me the sense that I was drawing with someone rather than just doing it by myself. So yeah, pretty freakin' stupid if you ask me lol.

While I'm not familiar with this artist, I found her advice to be relevant to this sketchbook challenge. Holly and Baylee did not exercise conscious learning, hence why there was little to no improvement.

yeah this sketchbook thing has been really disappointing - but then again, how could it not be? forcing out 20+ pages a day rather than making the challenge something meaningful and useful - just 'draw every day' like inktober is so much better - has just led to both of them cementing in the bad habits rather than learning anything.

She is terrible at sketching because she seems to not know the fundamentals of drawing. So all 600 of those pages were pointless because she has shown no improvement whatsoever. It would be like if someone sewed from 30 commercial patterns in a month; that wouldn't necessarily mean that they can replicate individual aspects to a garment design of their own like learning the basics of sewing would.
What's most annoying is that this so called "analytical" thinker can't put 2 + 2 together and come up with that truth. She will call people haters and continue to make money drawing twee, ill-proportioned garbage.

Okay, this is a really dumb question but I hope someone here can help me to understand because I can't even draw stick figures.

When you're drawing on a computer like this, are you using a tablet? And are you only looking at the screen while drawing? In high school we used to do that whole thing where you draw a person or an object without looking down at your hand–is that what's going on here?

I'm always so impressed by this kind of thing because it's like fucking mysterious to me lol, I barely have any idea how you do this.

Thanks to any nonnie who can answer this for me and maybe explain a little bit about how one goes about using adobe or whatever to make art in general. Sorry to be stupid.

No. 206558

>>206555

I could be either a traditional tablet or a monitor tablet. Monitor tablets like Cintiq or Huion are kinda like a digital notebook, many people prefer it because of that. But the thing with normal tablets is that you don't need to look where your hand goes, rather where the line goes. So you don't need to look at your hands at all. Kinda like a pianist that needs to look at the partiture but not at his hands?

Anyway, some people don't get used to that though I usually prefer monitor tablets, even though they are more expensive. I personally prefer monitor tablets because I think they are more confortable in general.

I'm participating in Inktober and only using a minimal amount of watercolor in my pieces. I feel as long as the majority of the piece is done in ink, it really shouldn't matter. Besides, I like having at least a little color in there so my pieces aren't blending with everything else.

Seconded, the more skilled artists can make monochrome look interesting but the lower tier artists really need some colour to make things pop and not everybody has a wide array of colourful inks and pens. As long as it's only an additional element and the image is mostly ink then I don't see the problem, it's pretty much the same as painting with coloured inks.

People that use digital during inktober piss me off though, the point is that it's an annoyingly permanent traditional medium, if they can't brave it without the undo button then they could just post without the inktober tag. Fuck that "digital ink" bull

Some are angry 'cause their friends have them and they don't. Others are angry little kids who draw like shit have them, which I understand but ultimately think it's a loss of time to be bothered about.
And the most justifiable is people being upset some artists sell originals made with Copics (and other alcohol markers) despite them not being lightfast.
Otherwise, Copics are lovely for some purposes, like sketching and making designs/art intended for scanning and reproduction, due to the immediate results they provide.

No. 207131

>>207128
Your second point about the lightfastness I agree with. It upsets me to see people like Baylee sell copic art for a really high price. But, in the case of someone just using them because it's a medium they enjoy, I think it's a bit dickish to get up in their face about what media they use.

No. 207133

I don't hate the markers themselves. Hell, use them all you want ffs, put colour in your work, who cares. It's using them to produce shit tier work and not shutting up about the fact that they're Copics like that somehow turns a middle-school drawing into a professional piece that bugs me.

Oooh spicy debate! I'm glad we're able to bring some life into this thread.

I guess my issue is that people are taking time that could be spent on their own art and putting it into roasting young weebs with expendable cash. I got my first two markers when I was entering high school, and my art was pretty shit, but I'm glad I at least started grabbing them then because the taxes where I live increased and make the markers overly expensive. Personally, as long as the tool is being used and not hoarded (like what Baylee is doing with those Schmincke watercolors ;A;) then I don't see much of an issue with a smol bean buying a tool that interests them.

Ultimately you are right.
I think deep inside we are just upset about people we perceive as being less skilled than us having things we believe we deserve more than them, or that we deserve and they don't because we think they didn't put enough effort do deserve those things.
That can extend from being upset children have Copic markers to being upset Baylee Jae has so many subs with the art she makes.
It's a natural feeling but at the same time it's better for us to not linger on those. As you said, that time and effort can be spent on things that will actually benefit us in the long run.
Maybe I should do what I preach and get off anonymous forums to practice my art… lol

I do find roasting on online forms to be a bit therapeutic. It's releasing a lot of pent up frustrations that would otherwise leak into aspects of my life. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with expressing your frustrations at another person's success or even what supplies they have. I mean, I'm salty af about Baylee using Schmincke watercolors and not giving them all the love and care they deserve, but the frustration can be used as a drive to work hard to one day own a set too. So anon, feel free to roast the shit outta people lol

Not really. Ink behaves differently, watercolor is a bit more forgiving as a medium. And I believe that's the reason why Jake Parker chose inks, for being more permanent and unforgiving medium.

Subs are rarely, if ever, equivalent to the quality of someone's art. More like your social media and video making abilities and how relatable you are. Takes two different sets of skills to be a good artist and a good Youtuber.
That said, I think Min's drawing abilities are being confused with style. Even if we don't like her style, as it's not exactly my favorite either, it's clear that she is decently aware of what she is doing. She is not a bad artist, at least skill-wise.

I never said mastering colour was easier than greyscale, I said it was a harder skill to make an image look exciting in only grayscale than it is to just add a dash of colour. It takes more knowledge of composition and tonals values etc to make a strong and interesting grayscale image, wheras any beginner can draw a quick monochrome sketch and just wash over a few of the elements using one copic marker it will just pop instantly and catch attention at first glance.

I agree. It’s because a lot of new artists using color don’t really understand color schemes or value yet and just oversaturate everything. Greyscale forces artists to learn about the fundamentals which is why most schools teach that first.

That's what I'm saying though, I think it should be purely ink materials used any way you want, but because there's no "rules" people are gonna do what they want & you can't really argue it because there is no "rules" like seeing someone do a full watercolour piece of pencil pieces then add a ink outline to me, is a cope out.

It's easier for young people to relate to them as well. And a lot of them are trying to improve.

I understand the frustration especially if an artist is acting like they are the best but a lot of them straight up admit they are not the best and are trying to improve. And their viewers get to go on that journey with them. And just because someone isn't the best artist in the world doesn't mean they don't have value to offer in a video.

I at least appreciate that she drew a different body type than she usually does, but am I the only one who feels the head, and especially the neck feel disproportionate to the rest of the body? it could be the angle, I guess, but it looks odd to me.
I've seen a few more successful artists justifying using the same mediums they always do by saying the "challenge" for them lies in the making artwork every day, not the using of ink. And it comes off them just bragging about how busy they are.

No. 207781

I'm not sure about it being disproportionate because the whole angle she filmed in throws the perspective off a bit, but judging by the thumbnail it just looks like a chubbier girl.
I can appreciate the lack of her usual sameface on this, tho. I like the piece, it just bothers me how she's labeling it Inktober. If a classical oil painter did the same thing and tried to justify it as they're using ink to line it, something they don't usually do, it would be fairly ok (altho I am still anal about mixed media Inktober), but she already does that type of work all the time.

There really are no rules to inktober. The whole point of inktober is to get better at inking. No body is stopping you from using watercolors if you want but don't use it as a crutch so you won't have to learn how to ink. I'm honestly more disappointed in artists who decide to do the same thing during inktober that the do the other 11 months in the year. They just use the whole event to get extra views on their work rather than a way to learn and get better.

Those kids are so lucky if they want to go into art. Living in Japan with connections with Mangaka/animators, with a successful french animator dad to teach them and already a name for themselves.

She's very foot-gazey and introspective with her voice overs; to the point that it feels like the audience is just a sounding board for things she's trying to work through. Also, she strikes me as a very technical and analytical artist rather than an inspired, imaginative creative type. I think that adds to the boring, repetitive vibe.
She has that same face syndrome thing that often stems from the artist basically drawing different versions of themselves.

also I wish she would just paint something. she talks all the time about wanting to learn and improve, but she always does inked linework filled in with watercolour.

Honestly, when are those people going to learn that responding to so called "hate comments" that way is only going to screw them over further, especially if you're being fragile-aggressive? Either ignore it or even delete it quietly if it bothers you too much, but don't bitch and moan about it.

I think the criticism you've shown is quite reasonable imo you can't always be all rainbows and smileys and artists should know that. Personally, nothing has helped me improve more than the extremely demanding, tactless and blunt art teacher I used to have.

Also, anyone else annoyed by Happy D. Artist? She has a video about criticism and said that artists should only be criticized in specific things they wish to be criticized on. Which is pretty stupid since artists often make mistakes that they don't realize. She keeps on saying about how she "doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings". Like, grow up, girl, the world is unforgiving and the art world is especially merciless.

No. 209228

>>209227
Happy D is pretty annoying. I liked the type of videos she made but couldn't stand them because of her personality. I remember her making a video after last year's election where she described Trump being elected as a TRAGEDY and general drama queen behavior. At least it wasn't like Jellie Bee who set up a discord for emotional support or whatever… For fuck's sake. If you're gonna implode because some dude you don't like got elected, what else, do you melt in the rain or something?
The reason I went on this tangent was to say I think those girls who preach those things are just overly sensitive in general. They are probably used to be put on a little pedestal all the time and now that they've grown into what can be described as overgrown children, they still can't fathom the possibility of the world not being there to serve their feelings. So they go on to become artists and can't wrap themselves around the concept of people critiquing them, even if ultimately it can be for the better.
Is criticism always valid? No. Sometimes people are just being dicks. But it's important to deal with that with composure, or else you might discard valid critiques just cause it hurts your feelings.

No. 209229

Exactly. I think a lot of young girls like these take up art not as a passion, but as a way to justify their childishness and receive asspats by drawing the same generic shit, which gives artists the bad rep o being lazy and not taking things seriously, when in reality the art world is harsh and competitive as hell.

I was going to add that talent doesn't start when people come out of the womb. Most of those artists are young, and might be -relatively- talented or have potential. People like Kim Jung Gi or Craig Mullins have years and years of experience under their belts. Apples and oranges.

No. 209234

>>209233

The problem I have with that is that I really don't see any potential in their art, not for their age at least. If the artists posted here were like 15-16 years old, I would maybe say they had some potential, but most of them are on their twenties if I'm correct. There are plenty of artists on their twenties that produce much more amazing art than these people, even younger than that. And I must disagree on the talent part: Check out Picasso's "Man in a beret" painting, which he painted when he was 14 years old. I think some people are born with higher sensibilities or perceptive skills that make them different from the crowd.

>I think some people are born with higher sensibilities or perceptive skills that make them different from the crowd.
Yes, indeed, but natural talent alone does not do it. It takes acquired talent to make a great artist. Picasso's young age doesn't imply he just picked up a paint brush for the first time and started painting amazing pieces. I know a musician who's mind numbingly good in his early 20s, but when you talk to him you'll learn he's been playing since he was 9 and practicing seriously since he was 13.
I don't think most people on this tread are untalented for lack of natural talent, but for lack of pursuit and sacrifice into their crafts. I also think it's unfair to put people like Audra Auclair who have been mentioned here in the same throwaway basket as Baylee Jae.

Ah, so I'm not the only one who found that whole fiasco to be a bunch of bullshit. Honestly, these "professionals" can't handle something not going their way, then why the hell did they go into an industry that doesn't favor emotional weakness? Jellie Bee really pisses me off though, since she has a habit of scamming people out of their hard earned cash and then tries to hide the evidence.

No. 209258

Yeah, I can't stand these two. Critique is important for improvement. My favorite art teacher from high school would make the entire class practice critiques and that was probably some of the most helpful information I've received during my art education. The guy was a pretty good oil painter and because of his advice was supported by his own skills, he was highly respected. That's something a lot of these YouTube artists don't have, skills that support what they're spewing.

No. 209282

>>209234
Everybody has the potential to produce good art if they put the time and effort into it. Age is such a bad indicator of skill level because at the end of the day it really doesn't mean much. There are people who start art later in life and become great artists with a lot of hard work, and there are young artists who make awesome work early on only to burn out and give up on art as they grow older. The thing with most artists mentioned here is that they really do have potential if you just look at how many hours they are willing to devote to their craft. Unfortunately if they aren't willing to put the effort into their work by consciously tackling things like fundamentals or even leaving their comfort zone once in awhile, they won't be able to improve and will only stagnate in their abilities.

Actually Jellie Bee here. Someone linked me here and I was super worried at first, but hand on heart you guys are all correct. I'm not a scammer, but I can see why you would all think that. I'm not even going to make excuses for my actions, I just let things get too on top of me. It's been a really rough few years and I can't tell a lot of people what's really been happening. All you need to know now is that I'm working on being a better person, I've moved out. I've been getting all orders out on time (other than fiascos like Royal Mail charging me wrongly and blocking my account) - things like the Kickstarter and Patreon I thought I could handle by myself and I couldn't. And instead of asking for help, I wasn't in a place I could ask and I let it just continue and get heavier and heavier.
I try not to talk about mental health a lot, because it's not an excuse in my opinion. I should be able to deal with it, but having had my finances ruined by the government, my life being in eternal torment by other circumstances and trying to keep my head afloat has been rough. I can only apologise and I'm trying my hardest to make up for the problems that have occurred. I now live with friends and me and Ryan have partially separated.
It's complicated.
But one of the friends I live with has had stern talks with me, has helped me more than anyone else and she's taking on a lot of the work that I could no longer face in my mental state. She's incredible, I owe her so so much, and we're working on getting everything done by the end of the year. I couldn't have asked for better support, and I truly hope that I change in the eyes of some of you, but I also accept that burning people once means its hard to come back from.
Again, it's my fault. I'm sorry, I'm truly working on it. Thank you all so much <3

Also someone said my SU work isn't as good as my other work which made me feel kinda happy, I worry so so much about creating original art that I panic and make fan stuff.

As for my gemsona cuddling another gemsona, it's just fiction lmao, just like roleplaying or anything else similar. Means nothing. I liked the way they played out as a story.

No. 209554

>>209552

I have never deleted comments, honestly. I'm not that type of person.
As far as Patreon goes, I'm currently getting Kickstarter out of the way first. I did commissions and online store, then Kickstarter is next, and then Patreon by the end of the year. I have left posts on Patreon to get people to message me, but having had little response I know I need to get messaging directly.
Some Patrons have had rewards sent out, or rather exchanges for rewards because (sadly) it was that long ago I felt sending them older artwork was a cop out, and wanted them to have something fresh and therefore let them have hundreds of pounds of stock from my online store.
Right now, my friend/manager is super busy with her own business and once our last convention is out of the way next week, there's nothing left but to focus entirely on the missing Patreon and Kickstarter rewards.
I have often posted and not gone too silent, but I guess there were patches of time when I just couldnt face it and forgot about it all. It's still no excuse, and I'm determined to be free of all my debt to people by the end of the year. It's like I've been renewed, the change in just my personality is tangible, I'm a lot lighter, happier and ready to take on all the shit I've caused. My friend is an absolute powerhouse in terms of getting shit done, so believe me, my butt is very bruised from the kicking.

What people don't know is the harassment, the hate and other shit I've had from people within hours of making an order - and unfortunately I let it get to me.

But I am owning up entirely to my mistakes, I've delayed so so long. I'm learning, and I hope people will be happy once I fulfill my orders and commissions! I would be angry with me too, it's inexcusable.

Seems like a sweet girl, and she's an okay artist but there's just something about her faces that I don't like. Also, her 'hyper' voice is god damn annoying. Can't watch her videos anymore without turning the volume off.

Same, I've grown to really enjoy her videos, especially her newer ones. It's also nice to see her used mediums like watercolors and gouache (since Baylee is forever using her copics and once in a blue moon uses something else) That and she has a pretty sweet demeanor and talks with those that comment on her videos.

She's far from being as bad of an artist as Baylee, but I do think she's trapped inside stylization.
She looks like she can't branch much further than her dolly-eyed, disney-esque style. Even her anatomy series is wonky. Doing life studies and attempting more realism could really help her. I think she has potential.

i really enjoy Jenna Drawing's artwork, and find her videos pretty entertaining. Almost as entertaining as reading this entire thread late night. Artists that bother me are Holly Hearts Art and H.C.

No. 211072

>>211059
It's a combination of a lot of things, like good artists aren't necessarily good at PR or marketing themselves, young artists may feel intimidated by advanced techniques/detailed drawings that are way out of their league (so watching videos will make them feel bad rather than have a sense of companionship like with mediocre/bad artist youtubers), or the good artists are too busy doing long projects to put out enough content (while shitty artists like H.C. Brown and Baylee can put out a vid a day because they don't actually look twice at what they draw).
Honestly it sucks, but it's understandable since being a popular artist is 50% art and 50% marketing. At least good artists can still sleep at night knowing they don't produce garbage and actually care about the craft.

imo I find those videos really cringey in general, especially that video you replied to. Also, I hate those kinds of videos as most of them reek of drama (and edge. Lots and lots of EDGE) and they pretty much get the most views.

Bonus points if it has something to do with art too such as: "ART TEACHERS VS. ANIME (+How Art History Proves Them WRONG!)", "JEALOUSY in the Art Community", "Art Block Controversy", "My Art Teachers HATE Anime And/Or Me", "What is "Real" Art?", "ART BATTLE: A$$HOLE TEACHER vs ME❤ Story Time with senpai ❤", "Why My Art Teacher's Negative Opinions Don't Matter".

I could rant all day about the "anime style" videos, but knowing that a lot of artists don't seem to bother actually learning their foundations (instead of making only "realistic" portraits to make their audience think they can do "realism") really riles me up because for them, making a "decent" portrait automatically makes you a good artist now and therefore "mUH aRT TeaCHER's opinION IS SHiT aND I shouLDN'T CARE ABOUT IT"

I didn't know whether to put this in the YouTube or artist thread because they have a little of both but – is anyone else annoyed by people calling themselves "animators" and their work "animation" when it's just a static image that moves…sometimes? You know the ones. A la Odds1out and JaidenAnimations. I've seen so many clones of this "style" of "animating" and it really grinds my gears.

After watching a few videos where I liked her and was happy to find the channel, I found a critique video of hers where her first critique was basically a rant over the unexperienced person trying to make an overly detailed study. I stopped giving her any sort of credibility and didn't watch her anymore, I thought she lacked professionalism. Some people don't seem to see the fine line between being harshly honest and just being plain bitchy and that's not an attitude I expect from a so called instructor. I think she even talked a bit about a friend of her saying she should take it down a notch and being stubborn about it.
Also, while she's much better than Youtube "instructors" of the likes of Baylee Jae and company, she's still not good enough to be among other more serious instructors like Proko, Sycra and Sinix. And seems to have a bigger attitude problem.
Looking at some of the works on her website it looks like the work of a decent student, not the teacher.

Pic related, everything but the face looks like it was done by someone who barely started to have an idea of what to do. Dat left hand. That's in her online portfolio. She has better stuff in there but the fact that she'll add that plus a lot of floating faces already tells me she's not quite there yet.
I see no reason to lose time with her when you have people who are much better skillwise and actually give a crap about their own attitude instead of stomping their feet when people critique their ways. If she was the only option, I could sure look past her insufferable attitude, but since she is not -and again, against people who are clearly more skilled than her, I'll pass.

The same way I see people being snowflakes and bitching about any sort of critique, I see people in her comments excusing bad behaviour because they want to pretend like they are though and badass and kiss her ass.

I agree, the characters she draw/paint look like clay and statues, not real people. She is knowledgeable about the Fine Art don't get me wrong, she offers some good criticisms. But I can't take her as seriously as Sycra for example, or Bobby Chui and Marco Bucci.

This is kind of why I have a love hate relationship with her. I think she knows more about technique than she does skill. I have to wonder what her art would look like if she was stripped to the basic, who knows?

Hm, I do see your point. Sometimes people are better teachers than artists. Like, looking at a piece or study and seeing what the problem is and knowing how to fix it is a valuable skill not many people have.

I actually am subbed to Sycra, although I think he's less a teacher and more.. just there. But it's been a while since I've watched a whole video in one go.

I feel like sometimes the Youtube artists (the quality ones) who try to make educational videos go on for way too long. It's gonna be hard to get taught properly through a Youtube video anyway, but I feel like they don't think their content through when you see a "How to X" and it's 35+ minutes long. I probably sound like I'm complaining- I won't fault you for that, but I guess I mean that they don't structure their thought process and plan ahead but they just turn on the camera with a vague idea of what they want to do and just roll with it.

Matt from Ctrl+Paint is my favorite so far. His videos are informative, bite size, straight to the point and well thought out. And he has a very professional attitude.

Not to the level that could be classified as animation really. I've watched Somethinglseyt, Jaidenanimations and Odds1out. Somethingelseyt just uses the same format they do, static poses with lots of mouth movement and a stiff arm move or something every once in a while – generally they're standing in place. It still can't REALLY be classified as an animation – to me. The only one I can see actually classifying as animation that's similar to that format is Domics. There have actually been a couple fully animated moments where we're not just watching the static figure.

I'm the same anon from the original post.

Does craft youtuber count ? Some of them really try to jump on every trend like nerdEcrafter, she have skills but I feel like she really try to keep her tutorialeasy to make for kids or something

And in the same style there is polymomo tea making the same kind of shit but he doesn't always take the effort to make is pieces look great ( not removing the bubble for his resin, etc )

Does anybody know who Draw with Jazza is? I've always disliked his art style due to personal preferences and I keep seeing his videos everywhere.

i kinda know him, only saw his ""MS PAINT Vs. PAINT 3D"" video ( i link it) and is so boring? "is so bad!!!! i'm getting so mad" and shit like that, like dude any professional artis can use ms pain and/or paint 3D, if you really don't know how to use them…look up a tutorial, is not that hard and come int that bs excuse of " i don't like to look up information for my new programs" jesus , also his art is ugly is like a mix of chibi japanese style and western cartoons? is fucking ugly

I've said this for a while, but Jazza's art is ugly. All of his non-chibi shit is beefy dudes and chicks with waists the size of coke cans. It's so fucking bad.

I can't be the only one that finds nerdEcrafter cringey. There's no problem with doing crafts or whatever, but between her poor skills and the fact that she wears that same ugly pokemon hat in every video, she just comes across as an overgrown child. She's just a tired-looking thirtysomething trying too hard to be a teenage weeaboo.

Leaving the markers off the caps while you draw is totally fine if they're alcohol markers. They dry out fast so you won't have much blending time if you have to pull the cap off each color as you use it.(use the new thread)
