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 offense to anons who like the artists, but when a particularly popular artist like leyendick and loomis specifically get shilled I have a weird urge to stay away from their work. It's like seeing an advertisement for a product that makes me avoid it when I see it in stores.

>>2226980No, 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.

No. 2227494
>>2227418Why 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.
>>2227426I 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.

>>2226980Loomisfags 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.

>>2228910I actually love it when people graduate from anime. Get inspired outside of your fotms, yaois and pinterest! Sure there's a learning curve to make your style more you, everyone has awkward phases when growing up. Your picrel only resembles Leyendecker from the angular shapes kek.

Stop being retarded on purpose kek, that is still disgusting slop (and ofc they had to draw a catgirl and other naked bimbos because most of these artists are degenerates who learn how to draw just so they have an outlet for their fetishes)
>>2229085Never said Avatar was good, I was saying Avatar’s art style is ugly lmao don’t worry I know it sucks
>>2229026I agree with that and that was literally my point, I’m tired of anime influencing everything. And nah, you guys just don’t understand what I’m talking about because I’ve started noticing it and this very boxy art style has been made fun of numerous times in this thread before so

>>2228562If 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.

>>2231570NTA 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.
>>2231562Her 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.

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.
