what do you people think of tomfoxdraws? i read his book lately and i found it really interesting. i always appreciate a drawing book that doesn't oversexualise female bodies as well, aka have them in some sensual pose for every single picture. i find it a little refreshing that he draws very 'real' looking people.

No, I understand you nona. Leyendecker IS very good and so I won’t hold it against the nonas here for liking him but he also acts as a signpost to all the TIFs of the internet who think they’re doing something innovative and interesting by replicating one of his covers with their latest yaoi ship. As someone who’s deeply into art history, I promise you all that there are a plethora of other artists who produce works of similar visual appeal, but no one who goes to Pinterest for artistic reference will ever open a book on early Baroque or Neoclassical masters.

Why does everyone here care so much about what TIFs might or might not like, and try to stay away from it solely because TIFs like it? It's so fucking dumb, it's not like that art/media/whatever was made with mentally ill self-hating girls who want to be men in mind. Besides, TIFs are female, so if a lot of them liked it, it's likely because it just appeals to women in general, or women with certain interests.
>no one who goes to Pinterest for artistic reference will ever open a book on early Baroque or Neoclassical masters.
I love both Leyendecker's art and Baroque/Renaissance art. I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes both popular artists and the work of the old masters. Women like Leyendecker specifically because he made the males in his art look hot and his stylization is aesthetically pleasing.

>>2227426
I also like this painting and hate that it became a popular meme, but can't you just pretend those people don't exist? Unless you spend a lot of time on Twitter, it's pretty easy to mentally block them. If you talk about the painting online, don't even acknowledge them, and instead make them feel like retards for even bringing it up. I feel if a lot of people did this, they'd stop being so annoying, they need to be bullied into shutting up. Everyone on the internet treats every single thing like a fandom meme now, and I'm sick of it.

Loomisfags are the devilish archons of the art world, they have a very stubborn mission of convincing others to start drawing in that ugly ass Voltron-Arcane constructonist faux anime art style. You can tell the Loomis disease trails in that art style and they always overuse that same textured brushes, I get you it’s absolutely hideous and reduces every artists’ originality into boxy sludge. I’ve noticed this has started infecting modern video game design as well. A loomisfag plays with art like how an autist obsessively tweaks with computers, they absolutely forget that art is about individual flair not repeatedly applying the same problem and never finding creative solutions to them. Picrel will never be memorable, even the most fugliest and weird looking art styles are still beloved till this day avatar the last airbender, draw however you want but the fundamentals always matter but loomis didn’t create the fundamentals, so they are in fact shilling and trying to recruit people into their creativity death cult club afraid of making the wrong marks, afraid of working outside of the entire equation.

If you have a university account start abusing the interlibrary loan feature. Some artists have books written about them that were published by art galleries or journals, and you can use libraries to find borrowable copies. Yale University Art Gallery and NMAI have fairly large collections of American illustration art, the NMAI site has a big artist list if you just want to use it as reference to look up the illustrators
https://americanillustration.org/artists/

For example it lists Edwin Austin Abbey, while NMAI doesn't have a link for his works his wife donated nearly all of his art to the Yale Univeristy Art Gallery, so if you go on YUAG's website or Artvee you can browse his work. I used my library to find a book written about him but unfortunately there was only one major publication about his art (and the book Yale just published for their current exhibit).

I'd also suggest downloading/looking at the Watson Guptill book Drawing With Pen and Ink and the Famous Artist's Course because they both have a lot of illustrations cited to artists who were popular during the time period these books were published.

I joined the local comic/manga group (all women) and am reading through the others works, at first it seemed pretty cool but I very quickly noticed a pattern: it's all gay. I know the artists are all straight. It's all just so performative and predictable, but they all act like it's revolutionary and it's a big plot twist that the love interest is the same sex as them. It's like they're stuck in a 2010s tumblr post permanently. So at the same time there hasn't been even a single straight love interest. Like I said these are straight women so you'd expect them to write something from their own experience once in a while, but no. It's just kinda odd.

I think because they're all straight they kinda subconsciously see gay women as inherently unsexual beings, so making them gay is just this cute little quirk that also gives them wokeness points as artists. Yaoi is (at least for the ones who read it) their hot steamy porn, and they don't want to draw/post porn. And I think it's the same with straight pairings, that's too "real" and personal to them.

Does anyone else have trouble with stamina when it comes to drawing? Admittedly I do grip the pen/stylus pretty hard when I draw (I’m trying to ease up), but it seems like I just can’t go long without my wrist starting to ache.

To me this look like avatars from second life with a paintover and a shit ton of filters and color corrections. The rope the guy is wearing looks made by an amateur comparing it to the face and vice versa. Not AI but also not a digital drawing in it entirety

I forgot what Kooleen's art looks like until someone reminded me of her art roasts and can someone remind me why we let this person dig into beginners completely unchecked? There's not a single piece of hers I can find that doesn't look awkward or stiff or with anatomy that is low intermediate tier. The only thing that saves is that she colors like a Korean webtoon and draws those unnatural k-pop faces. She doesn't usually draw below the torso or a face looking directly at the viewer for a reason: because every time she does it looks like complete ass, and because she focuses on what she's comfortable with, she never improves. So why do we let this person guide beginners in the cruelest possible way? I'm not saying this in a "let's go attack her lolololol personal army time kek" type of way, I'm just actually confused how she got here. Is it a creepshow art situation where people just like watching people be mean because they're too scared to be?

Those begginers asked her to rip on their art though. Some people just want to draw in that korean plastic style, i dont understand why kooleen gets so much hate when other artists like ethan becker did the whole smug art roast thing before and they never got cancelled over it.

They asked her to but I watched one of them once and was immediately turned off from her because of how much joy she seemed to take tearing into complete beginners. It's not the concept itself but rather how it's executed that feels gross to me. This is a girl who barely knows how to draw herself marketing her making fun of people slightly below her in skill level as content, it comes off as a mean girl subtly degrading you in ways that make you look like the asshole if you point it out. I've never seen Ethan Becker's art roasts because I generally don't like that type of content but looking up his portfolio, I feel he's far more qualified to guide people as his work feels effortlessly diverse, he knows enough anatomy and perspective to draw multiple poses and people interacting with one another without it looking awkward.

Not everyone is a sensitive pansy. What she does is clearly humorous and not meant to be taken in a hard way, her fanbase is fellow zoomies who are into that kind of humor. If her fans are willingly submitting their art knowing her type of humor/persona then i dont understand why get mad at it? you knew what you were getting into.

NTA but I also feel a similar problem with Coleen as the other nonna. I don't care about it in an ethical sense because yeah, those people ask to be put in the vids, but I'm assuming a lot of them would like the roast to have some actual critique under it. Those roast videos are annoying to me because they're always really random with which works get actual advice vs Koleen just saying ew no vs her just saying a random meme that doesn't even really tell you how she evaluates the quality of it. Koleen's mean girl thing feels more annoying than an actively nasty, and she clearly exaggerates for fun.

>>2231562
Her art being mediocre doesn't matter because her target audience is mostly 14 begginers, so she still has an audience that thinks she's good enough to give advice (because she is better than them). People with barely passable art making (poor) art tutorials has been a thing since forever.

I'm not mad, the vibes are just rancid and I'm confused why she has a platform. She never improves because she only draws the same thing over and over and never goes out of her comfort zone, yet she digs into these people barely below her or even sometimes they're just straight up better than her. That's what comes off as weird to me, you put no effort into improving so why are you going about helping others this way? She seems incredibly unpleasant, but if they're there because they just love cruelty then that makes more sense.

I watched some of her videos before the gorilla incident, and she wasn't always as heavy handed with the criticism or conceited persona. After the callout she doubled down on her bitchiness. Probably to both lean into it for views, since some people enjoy that content but also as a middle finger for the haters that hatewatch her shit and get angry the more she lays into that persona. Not defending her actions but she was somewhat more tolerable before all that shit.

She is incredibly unpleasant and sucks ass at drawing but I don't think her audience watches her for her actual skill, they watch her solely for her art-themed zoomer comedy. You have to realize Kooleen is not an artist she is a comedian telling jokes anyone over 17 years old will hate anyway

I finally got an ipad nonnas, I'm so happy! I really needed something mobile that I could take with me and that could allow drawing comfortably while not at a desk.
I bought procreate and I'm currently testing it. While I like it CSP is still the real winner , everything is so smooth and the stabilization of the brushes is great. Testing out so many brushes atm because I want to create that really good lineart I see some these artists do so if you have any tips and tricks (or any brush recs), I would be very grateful.
I've seen a lot of people recommend vector layers for lineart, is this the way to go?

Belive me, zoomers dont take offense to her form of criticism because they are all irony poisoned. Irony poisoned memey criticsm is the only form of criticism they will take, if you actually tried to tell them to pick vilppu or some shit they would throw an spergout for sure. Good for her that she can make money off retarded zoomies, there is people with worse art that make more money than her(every male coomer).

imo I feel like Kooleen is just filling the void the deviantart critiques have left. Remember how shit Spoctor, DeviantartCringe, and Solar Sands' art was/still is? I feel like it's a rite of passage for a digital artist to feel like shit over the opinions of someone who could barely draw a cube in mspaint. Or artists in general, I remember the 2009 Francis Bacon critique by that molerat of a geriatric scrote from the New Yorker and I seethe, but that's just how it goes. I think mean criticism (I mean Kooleen doesn't call experincing two loved one's suicides faux angst or anything of the sort so she has a ways to go) is symbiotic to the current art culture, especially post Contemporary where the critic and curator is more important than the artist or even the artwork, but that's a whole different discussion that I won't get into unless anons are interested.

Can any anon with a moderate to large following give some advice on how to grow? I make art dolls and felt art and my instagram account has been inactive for about a year and some. I am only just getting back into it, I have a little over 800 followers, but my most recent post only has 5 likes after 14 hours. Instagram has changed a lot since I last used it, when you search you can't sort by newest post anymore, which is how I used to find other small accounts to interact with and boost each other. Is instagram even still the way to go? Should I start using tiktok for my dolls? Any resources you could offer on how to optimize my posting and my content would be so helpful, I feel totally overwhelmed when I just search this stuff online I would rather just get some advice from an actual human being in the space.
