Are there any artists on here that would like to vent their salt about mediocre Youtube artists? or anything art related?
Discuss the ones you like/hate/don't get/ etc..

I know it was already mentioned in the last thread, but I really have a nerve to pick with Spechie. I went and watched the art teacher vid in the last thread as well as other videos by her and holy shit I never knew someone so egotistical can exist. I really don't like artists who shit on other forms of art, then claiming their form of art is superior. On top of that, she tries to act like this badass, when in reality she's just a kid with an attitude problem. She reminds me of a lesser Holly Brown in a sense. I have no idea how she'll get a job with her issues

On the flip side, I really like aw.anqi on instagram. She produces some really interesting work, some fanart and some being biblical inspired paintings that are really lovely to look at. And she's the same age as Spechie lol

I don't know if you guys have talked about this video, but it's so stupid. I can't believe he's complaining that he went to art school and his professors wanted him to paint something other than a model's face surrounded by flowers. I mean, it's just a face, it's not like the composition is even interesting, dude. It's not because your art is pretty you idiot.

That's a bit different than your usual teacher complain video, tho. Judging from his and Lioba's videos, there's a bit of an issue with some German art schools pushing modern art on their students. From what I remember from that video they weren't pushing him to make better compositions and have better fundamentals, they were implying commercial or pretty art wasn't real art. Pic related was art from someone they wanted him to learn from. Basically a pretentious circle jerk.

No. 233517

I find it telling that, no matter what the instructors told him to do, no matter what they said to him about putting himself in the work or using negative space/different color combinations, he still only did close up shots of people's heads. Like, dude, maybe not draw the same fucking thing over and over? Maybe that's what they were trying to tell you??? Also, none of the shit they said was 'this isn't art', they were chiding you for being lazy/uninspired. Nice clickbait.

isn't that the premise of that movie/comic art school confidential? dude gets roasted for doing hyperrealistic portraits and people doing effortless super modern art are praised.
how are these adult babies not able to meet half way though? obviously it's pretentious to encourage someone to drop their technical skills on purpose, but what's the point of going to art school if you're satisfied doing hyperrealistic pictures of models and don't want to do anything more interesting? what do you actually want?

No. 233521

>>233477

I get that a lot of people complain about not being able to draw the same thing over and over again in art school but I think his is a bit different. It's more so about how his teacher considers anything that is "pretty" to not be "real art" while things that are "ugly" are "true art" and that it was basically a pretentious circle jerk.

I mean ngl I have issues with people that think something is "true" or "real" art on the basis of how ugly it is and that a lot of people in the fine art community or profession can be straight up like the pretentious english teachers that think there is a deep, world changing meaning behind why the author made the curtains blue.

Sometimes there is no deeper meaning. It doesn't need one. It can just be blue because they like blue.

Your first paragraph was basically >>233485, glad more people see it that way.

Well, there are a lot of things that push people towards art school, like the peer pressure to have a college degree or/and misguided ideas of what the course will actually be versus what they idealize it to be. So that generates a handful of people who are not satisfied with their college experience.

Has anyone here gone to German art school and can give us their own experience? I suppose not all schools are like that, but it's the second account of that nature I've encountered.

The people who do story times complaining about clients or the people who have this LONG, drawn out drama in their shitty teenage art world online.
I can't exactly remember who made these videos, but someone was complaining that someone they knew was trying to out them or a friend for tracing a picture of a FMA character and it was this whole thing.
It's like they don't have anything more important to do but make other artists feel insecure of the steps to take when promoting art. Like, scaring them for no reason because they had something shitty happen.

Most people who make videos like these make them long and drawn out, and exagerated when there wasn't really all that much happening, so it becomes this overhyped, badly paced half-lie to get people to watch. I can understand adding spice to a story to spice it up, but some people like to drag a bunch of nothing out just to hit the 10 min mark and I feel like this girl does that a whole lot.

She's in my recommendeds too but I never click because all her thumbnails and titles seem too baity. Usually the baitier it looks the lamer the video actually is, probably.

I made the mistake of watching (rather listening to this whole thing) and is this chick delusional?

The whole vid is her complaining about how she doesn't understand why this boy doesn't like her, but then admits in the video, she:

1. interrupts a conversation the guy is having with someone else to chime with her opinion

2. Is friends with the guy's little sister and then asks the sister questions about the guy like where he's going to college

3. Starts experiencing everything the guy likes in hopes he'll notice

4. Wants to be friends with him and his friend group bc she "wants to be him"

5. Ends up going to the same college as the guy and despite the fact she knows he doesn't like her, decides to sit next to him in class (which is hilarious bc he climbs over the chairs to get away from her)

And yet she still can't figure out why he doesn't like her. Gimme a break. She's a self-admitting creeper.

Same with too many "challenge" videos. They feel like people are avoiding making creative content sometimes. Sure, when you're pumping out videos all the time not all of them will be hits, but it's also not nice to overdo things.

A question for the artists here
Are you guys ever hesitant to draw yourselves for fear of looking delusional? Because if you draw yourself prettier and overly idealized, it looks kind of stupid. I think I saw people mention Jacquelin Deleon's self portrait in another thread, but I have a hard time finding pictures she actually intended as a self portrait. Anyways, I thought of this while looking at Yehuda Devir. You can tell he works out, alright, but he draws himself like this awesome hulking super hero figure and I can't help but think it's a little cheesy. I don't think his depiction is completely off and I understand exaggeration on that sort of comic book hero style, but the fact that he's the one drawing himself like that is a little odd to me.

No. 234347

>>234312
Personally I think a little vanity and wanting to make yourself a little prettier or whatever is normal and fine. I’d only have a problem if people were trying to catfish with it or something. If it’s a huge difference it can be a bit lulzy, though.

No. 234364

>>234312
It's just not that hard lol. It's natural to draw yourself a bit cuter/prettier than rl especially if you're not doing a super realistic style in the first place, but it's pretty fucking obvious when you give yourself a much different body type, and that easy to avoid.

I think we talked about QinniArt in earlier threads. I'm a pretty big fan of her because of her art style. She's going to have her 4th open heart surgery because her heart disease is spreading once again. I'm really, really worried for her because her doctors is saying that she should consider heart transplant, which would mean that even if the surgery is a success, it's a 57% mortality rate after 10 years. It's just…so terrible that someone is born with such condition and go through so much pain.

honestly, this girl gets on my goddamn nerves. how can she be so blind as to not see the similarities between her ocs and black butler character boggles me. and how she insists that she "likes victorian aesthetic" but her character literally looks like some middle school kid's rendition of black butler season 2.

she even picks and chooses on what comment to "respond" to, even though other people made pretty strong arguments, she clearly only shows the dumb useless complains. of course, to make herself feel smarter.

I'd be humiliated that anyone who saw me in real life after looking at a drawing of myself would think I flatter myself too much in my art.

I draw myself uggo, but that's because I draw most people uggo in the first place. I know it's pretty tumblr-esque and discouraged here, but I genuinely prefer big noses/acne/etc to golden ratio everyone-is-a-model styles.

All of this said, if an artist has a cutesy art style it may make sense for them to draw themselves cute as well. It just goes too far when they're basically giving themselves plastic surgery (a new nose/face shape/body).

I'm >>235872 and as I said I do genuinely find appeal in imperfect faces. I also believe with correct use of fundamentals you can make characters with crooked teeth/awkward proportions/weird noses appealing, which is basically my art goal (sort of like pic related, although maybe a bit more simplified). Plus it's fun to draw different looking people; no risk of same face. And maybe it is very Dumblr (although I think the problem with most of those artists is that they're either young or make no effort and just uglify existing characters for attention), but I like honestly portraying regular people. Some of us weren't genetically blessed and can't afford plastic surgery. Or we're cute-ish but have a couple of flaws.

This definitely all started because of my low self esteem/dysmorphia in hs, though. Perhaps that undermines my point here since I was a shitty tumblr kid in the beginning.

sage for derail, I just thought someone might appreciate insight into an ugly fetishist's reasoning. Probably not and I'll just end up in that bad art thread if I ever gain notoriety online kek. As a side note, I don't expect everyone to find appeal in this stuff. We're all generally programmed to find certain things attractive and I'm not fighting biology. I still find cute and dainty shit fun to look at myself.

There's no problem with drawing ugly people if that's what appeals to you, it's just stupid when it has some sort of agenda behind it.

>>236160
The pretty girl style isn't boring just because the girls are pretty, it's because the picture overall is devoid of much interest. If you make them ugly it's just going to be some boring ugly girl pictures.
One thing I noticed, tho. Sometimes it seems people let themselves looser when drawing ugly people and creatures, as if they have some sort of fear of ruining the person's beauty by portraying intense emotion and things like that, then you have a thousand 3/4 head shots of pretty girls with close to none expression just sitting there being pretty.

No. 236184

>>236166
I don't know if I agree. Beautiful people, especially beautiful women, often have less interest on their faces. No pimples, no wrinkles, no weird bumps, smooth jawline, etc. There's just less lines on a pretty woman's face in general, which inherently makes it less interesting. On top of that, like you said, it's scarier to give them emotion because beauty is really delicate. If you don't care if the person turns out pretty or not you can just go to town. And also artwork with ugly people is sort of rare, so that makes it more interesting too. Of course, it's not like every piece featuring an ugly person is more interesting than every piece featuring a beautiful person. But I think you have to work harder to make a piece with a beautiful person interesting.

No. 236292

>>236184
I don't think we're in the same boat if your idea of interesting is pimples and weird bumps…
I also don't think people's faces are necessarily the only defining thing in the picture, despite being important. People who push "sameface syndrome" too much by making characters bald and comparing their faces seem to forget just how much of someone's personality and personal history we can tell by the what they wear and how their hair looks.

If drawing ugly people is interesting because it's unusual, which I believe is the case, the amount of people drawing ugly people in the Bad Art threads already made it more common and uninteresting, not to mention giving it a bad taste by pushing their agendas.

It seems disingenuous for western white girls to draw a bunch of homosexual/gender confused rainbow people when she and her audience are living in white western nations.
Also btw whites are less than 10% of the global population, but that doesn't matter, since 90% of their audience is white.

It's also irritating because they act like they have a savior complex "uwu poor PoC don't have representation… look at how caring and special I am for putting the oppressed in my art uwu".

but if everyone does it and shoves it down people's throat, it DOES get disingenuous and become a mere marketing ploy, that much is true. like how companies are now trying too hard to be PC and progressive!!! eventho we know they're just trying to make profit out of it.

No. 236550

>>236523
What if the author isn't white? Is it disingenuous/bad marketing if I write a character who shares my race when we're only 2% of the population? Maybe.

Otherwise I do somewhat agree, having "diverse" characters with no personality is dumb. It's just as bad as a shittily written white character, and retconning existing characters to diversify them is also dumb. Although I do believe there are more non-white people in, say, North America than you seem to believe. You may have been speaking from a European standpoint (which I can't vouch for), but even living in a rural area when I leave the house I'll always see at least five other non-white people. Maybe we're a minority, but we all add up and some of us want to see our faces in media.

Unless you're insinuating that only white people consume media or that mostly white people use tumblr. From my experience (all my anecdotal evidence be damned, I know) I've seen a good chunk of "progressive artists" actually being non-white or gay themselves. As for white creators portraying diversity, maybe they genuinely have non-whites in their life and want to portray that.

Well that's kinda the opposite of tumblr diversity. An ethnic asian likes seeing media that reflects their culture and identity. Same with everyone else.
I really don't think anyone likes the tumblr burger-king-kids club version where a bunch of different races and sexualities are mixed together in a very inorganic way. It only really appeals to a small demographic of white liberals imo, and I don't even think they genuinely like it. I think it's a virtue signal.

I don't see a problem with people representing other cultures and peoples genuinely and respectfully but there is nothing genuine and respectful about a bunch of sexually confused mystery meat teenagers all clustered together.

The way I see "forced diversity" in art is a bunch of white guilty young women draw really ugly "diverse" (sexually, racially, physically) characters because they think they're doing a service to these people by representing them. It's insulting, the message, as well as the art. They tend to make art uglier on purpose because the virtue signalling is more important than artistic merit.

Reflective representation is positive though, but when done by those from other countries there are usually mistakes made. Black Panther had non S. Koreans butcher the accent rather than employing people from that country. Brave had some historic untruths and played into the "Walter Scott" version of Scotland than should be left to the Victorians, don't get me started on the Outlander effect or the horror that is "Reign". Yuri on Ice, Japanese series surprisingly depicted "foreigners" respectively although some major issues when it comes to language/naming for the Russian characters as they don't use patronymic names. A lot of European countries are rarely represented in USA or Asian media, and when done criticisms can be made but the fact that they are represented is at least one step in the right direction. The Simpsons though was probably the worst "cartoon' that encouraged xenophobia and ignorance about other countries though.

same mulan anon, no, i live in asia. that might change the discussion a bit since i'm literally around asian people 24/7, but growing up with blonde barbies and disney princesses, seeing asian ones really made me feel represented.

but of course my experience isn't the same as every other asians or "minority" race, some kids just doesn't give a shit and wants to see pretty princesses on the screen. but all im saying is diversity isn't always a bad marketing choice, if it's celebrated it can be a very good strategy, but if fetishized and overdone will seem disingenous and degrading

What contributes to this unrealistic portrayal of other races is the unspoken rule of painting everyone POC in the same good light.
If you as a white person depict a black woman as loud and feisty, you're racist and stereotyping. Yet, turn on black Youtube and you'll have a majority of women loudly talking about "don't try me, I'll fight a bitch".
The "opressed" perpetuate their own stereotypes and get mad when the "opressor" depicts them like that, and people who are from the "opressed" group and don't fit into the stereotype also get mad because it doesn't fit them and seems unfair.
Then you avoid representing them for this reason, and now you're racist because you're not inclusive enough.

If she actually draws a lot, that's what happens when you work hard rather than smart and just practice aimlessly.
Improvement comes from focused practice, learning and then practicing what you learned. If you spend 10 days drawing the same face you're comfortable with over and over again you're really just moving at snail pace.

tbh, i feel like the reason people like rebecca improve at a slow pace is because they focus more on the character's aesthetic or accessories rather than perfecting the fundamentals. i feel like people should also study more fundamentals while studying how to make a good looking or interesting character. like a good balance between the both. and then you can see the improvement.

But it's important to not get caught up on the idea that art has to be fun at all times. There are boring things you need to go through in order to get to the fun stuff, and that's where a lot of these types of artists fail. They don't want anything out of their comfort zone or that they don't consider "fun", so they get stuck being mediocre for longer than they needed to.

Of course it's work. It's hard work. It's challenging yourself that reaps the most benefit. A lot of artists like these miss these elements, even with their subjects of interest, even if those subjects make it more bearable. It isn't all fun.

It's bad when they want to be congratulated for the "diversity uwu", but predominantly white western nations are still not homogenous and in media the representation doesn't even match the actual population structure at all. Trying to diversify your characters is a good thing.

Only problem is when the character is just a hollow shell whose only trait is "the black one" or "the gay one", but that's another topic.

No. 237433

You've pretty much hit it on the nose. People will try different facial features once or twice but because they don't have the skill to make it look good bc they've done no/not enough studies, they get disheartened and just go back to the same features they know they CAN do well

That's what I was thinking. I was watching Jacquelin's Deleon newest video and felt the sponsorship was really repetitive. I checked it out and it was her fifth art video in a row (not counting the couple of vlogs in-between) that was sponsored by Squarespace.
She seems to be really busy with her move and all, so maybe she doesn't have a lot of time to make enough videos in order to space them out, but still, it's something to be observed. Too many sponsorships in a row feel disingenuous.

People have to stop clinging too much to the idea that anyone "deserves" followers. That's not how it works. Either you go after learning how to market yourself or you'll drown on a puddle or your own self entitled tears.

yeah this. it applies to everything too. businesses, music, who gets famous and who doesn't, who has social media followers, who has friends. i used to wonder why so many untalented, mean, or dumb people get so far, and then i realized it's because they're not so fucking self conscious and second guessing themselves all the time and just put themselves out there, while more thoughtful and talented people are staying home not putting anything out because they think it's not good enough yet. on the one hand, they probably BECAME good at what they do by being self conscious and not being satisfied with mediocrity, but there comes a point where you just need to let go and market yourself because it'll never be perfect.

It should be a surprise to absolutely no one that she’s popular. She’s decently skilled and creative, posts similar enough pieces (stars, space, color style) that she is recognizable, and her subjects are whimsical girls and fan art.

No. 238814

I think the point is (Picolo does this too) is once it's been transferred to digital it would be logical to remove the sketchbook binding etc from the image.

Leaving it on suggests to the viewer that is what it looks like in the sketchbook. They're not lying about it, but the charm is in seeing a perfect digital piece in a sketchbook which we usually have lower expectations about, versus say something hanging in an ornate frame in a gallery (or actual digital art itself, which everyone tends to have very high standards about.)

I can't really be critical about it as it IS obvious and this girl is sick+seems like a nice girl but I guess we can crit picolo about it. His art pisses me off for some reason and I don't know why. There's some cloying romance in there which is quite childish, maybe it's that

No. 238894

could possibly be that art comes from an individual and this individual might not have had a great life so clings to this image/aesthetic and romanticizes pain/sadness/galaxies and being outside of reality because of that. just speculation but its pretty easy to see that connection

It could be a variety of things. It might be that the artist in question has a likeable personality and interacts with their followers, markets themselves well by doing fan art and paying attention to their target audience, or the anime-influenced style just "speaks" to people since a lot of people grew up with it.

I've seen this pop up in baylee's thread a few times and a couple other places about copics and lightfastness. I know that copics arent light fast but because they aren't, is it even okay to do commissions in copics? I've seen in Artist Alley where a few artists offer copic commissions on site and i've seen online artist offering commissions and selling artwork done with copics. Knowing that they aren't lightfast, is that even "okay"? Of course it isn't illegal but should you even be selling art done in something that isnt archival?

No. 241201

Depends, I don't see a problem with it if the artist makes it clear they aren't using lightfast materials.

Hi, Monique here. I totally lurk this thread but I'm speaking up now because this is an important topic. I think it's extremely damaging to tell young people that they automatically don't have depression just because they're young. That can stop young people from getting the professional help they need. I know I experienced this growing up. I have clinical depression and was often told that I didn't have depression. I'm just an emotional teenager. When in reality, I really needed professional help and medication. I just think that telling an audience that's full of young people "you don't have depression, you're just hormonal" is extremely ignorant and potentially damaging.

I guess they might be tired of people automatically assuming they aren't depressed at all. But being someone who's been through depression and gotten better through other means, I'm also not the hugest fan of pushing professional help in every case. I'm aware a lot of people do need it, but it's not a "one size fits all" thing. Sometimes said professionals and madicines can either not make a difference or make things worse.

This is exactly the issue. She’s not the one to be telling people if they probably do or don’t have depression. If you’re “finding out you don’t have depression” via fucking Spechie, that’s extremely concerning.

No. 242786

>>242782

I think she shouldn't dismiss people who may think they have depression, no matter their age. I personally think that if you feel like you may be depressed, seek out a professional. Even if a teenager isn't clinically depressed, if they're in a bad enough mental state to say "I'm depressed", they obviously need some help. Maybe they aren't clinically depressed, maybe they are. But to make a blanket statement like that is just ignorant and irresponsible. Anyway, I feel like I'm sorta talking in circles now so I'm gonna leave it at that.

I would also encourage those that are going through a hard time, take the effort to do their own personal research on the matter, look for places that would help foster a better understanding. Especially those with actual experience (there are quite a few actual people on youtube with the education that talk about these subjects). There will definitely be teenagers that all they do is whine but those who are actually struggling will naturally try to find answers and directing them in a good direction would be extremely beneficial.

You, nor Spechie, have any idea what is actually going on inside a teenager's mind at any given moment. Yeah, they may be incorrectly calling their sadness depression. Or maybe they are clinically depressed and aren't getting help. That's why I think it's just SO irresponsible to make a blanket statement like "if you're between the ages of blank and blank you're probably not depressed".

Damn Monique, you sound like an angsty teenager yourself. Of course we have a multitude of teenagers of all backgrounds out there and it would be foolish to assume we know everything that goes on inside their heads, but at the same time I believe we can't go too far into a culture of patting them in the back and making them feel like everything and all they do is valid and correct, or else you'll have a bunch of spoiled retards running around and imploding mentally when something doesn't go their way. What I'm saying is, assuming every teenager out there is absolutely right about their own situations is as harmful as assuming none of them are. So my current course of action would be to try and help individual cases and avoid those very blunt sorts of statements such as Spechie's.

Guys, some of you are missing the point entirely.
One might have depression or not, but when you’re young and follow somebody ,and that somebody is important to you, you will accept what they say for a fact. And in my opinion, the ones that get hurt by this kind of videos are the ones who really struggle.wanna know why?
If one is being over dramatic, won’t stop just because some rando on the internet told them their problems are not real. Self centered drama queen teens would stop following her instead of changing their attitude. Because self is more important and always right.
The ones who are doubting themselves, maybe thinking of having depression but not talking about it because “maybe they’re just sad”; are the ones that need an external opinion from somebody who’s better than them, telling they’re just sad.
When you have depression you don’t always accept it, because it’s seen badly, and makes you feel like you are wrong or damaged. Most of the time it feels like it’s a choice and one is too weak to just stop being depressed. With that in mind, your hero saying you are totally not depressed because hormones, will do more harm than good.
Most teens do not seek therapy already, you know? So yeah If an influencer tells you there’s no need to worry, and you have a low self esteem and everything you think is wrong but others are always right, you will end up repressing your pain and not seek help. Because it would be hard even before the video, but the video cemented the fact that you don’t need it.
I hope I made myself clear, here.

Tl;dr drama queens will keep overreacting even after that video, those who actually struggle with it would end up being harmed by the fake consolation of not being sick while maybe in reality they really need medical assistance.

Practice does make perfect. But if what you’re practicing is shitty children’s drawings, guess what you’re going to perfect?

Rae doesn’t practice the fundamentals. She doesn’t study the basics. She just repeats copying exactly from a photograph. She doesn’t know why they look the way they do or how to properly represent it. So when she has to produce quick works, she shows how she doesn’t even know the basics.

I don’t think she’s ever shown work she drew from life and not a photograph. Anyone can learn to copy a photo without learning how to stop drawing symbols.

Anyone else see the drama in the "Art Rant" community re: a prominent "ranter" being exposed as a pedophile? I.E.: Messaging 13 year olds, asking them to draw sexual furry art, asking them to masturbate for him etc.

I'm only somewhat familiar with the whole idea of the youtube art ranting community, and it has always seemed to me to be mainly young teenage girls making fun of "bad art" on deviantart. It's as petty as you might imagine, with bad artists making fun of other bad artists.

But as an adult woman, any adult man engaging in a community of mainly underage girls, that is a huge red flag, even outside of the current context of accusations of pedophilia.

I know when I was a young girl online that attention from adults didn't seem abnormal, and I don't know how to communicate to girls who are young and vulnerable that 20+ year old men, who are prominent in your niche online community, who "just want to be your friend", are most likely predators.

What’s wrong with those patches of pink color? This looks just dirty and the placement is all wrong and it’s all sloppy and oh my god if you feel like this is like painting why didn’t you define shapes and shadows? It looks so bland.

Istebrak is pretty terrible. I'm a new artist, and found her videos because she's talented and gives honest critique, which I do appreciate. Her G+ group is pretty decent too.

However, when you watch a ton of her stuff in a short period of time you really see some stuff. She'll randomly pop in with some stuff like "I really love Jordan Peterson" or "LGBT people in the West are no longer marginalized at all and have no more battles to fight, also Final Fantasy is a game for homosexuals so I won't buy Square Enix games anymore".

She also gets really weirdly directly aggressive about stuff, even when she's not giving specific critique. She'll mention something and then say "You fucking guys always do this, you don't deserve to use color yet, go do twelve thousand geometric studies before you paint a face, and if you don't like it you can just click that little red X and leave". But like, no one said anything. She just responds as if there's people giving her sass all the time.

She also gives straight up contradictory advice constantly. If you follow your reference photo too much, you shouldn't - never draw eyelashes or lip details, ever, and use artistic license. If you do those things though, you're a retard who is symbol dependent and can't follow a reference.

She yelled for like 20 minutes about people drawing fit, toned women with a faint vertical line down their abs, and swore up and down it was a fake thing that never happened in real life.

She rants constantly about people doing "masterpieces" before they've passed her personal test of being a real artist - you aren't allowed to have an idea or render a character or draw hair until you've drawn a thousand black and white sphere heads and rectangles floating in space.

And then of course she falls back on "I'm just being honest, no one else will tell you the real truth, please give me Patreon money or 400 dollars for personal tutoring so I can berate you one on one"

lol in this one she takes the first painting with moody lighting of a dude (which does have some issues) and just completely wrecks it and turns it into her generic female face for no reason. Then she says the guy needs to stop using color, hair, and 3/4 views and go back to painting bald mannequin heads.

The second critique is a bald mannequin head (a bad one) which she accuses of "trying to make a masterpiece" when its clearly someone just learning to draw and trying to do a study like she constantly says to do.

Her obsession with black and white heads floating in space is ridiculous. She's stuck in the "study" phase and judging by her website, can't do much of a finished piece for shit. Does she think that's what people in the industry look for or is that meant to be a "teacher" portfolio for her to gather a bunch of students for her circlejerk who can't afford tutoring with an actual industry artist (or are still too new to realize a higher-than-thou teacher with a portfolio mostly made of repetitive studies of severed body parts does not make for a good professional artist)?

It’s so frustrating she used a plastic face as reference with no distingushed features. She goes on and on about how there isn’t a shadow between the brows on her bland reference so he shouldn’t have it on his painting. But different people have different shaped noses.

“Your brushstrokes are way too visible”

“You have no business using these brushes”

How are you supposed to get good at something without practicing it? I feel like she’s projecting her own insecurities onto these poor paying students. She doesn’t feel like she’s good enough to do texture or composition or color, so she berates everyone else and tells them they aren’t either.

She took an interesting piece with flaws and “fixed” it by removing everything that made it interesting. She replaced a two light source portrait with a strong chin and nose, and replaced it with a muddy, plastic robot face with a beard.

That is interesting as a concept, but the colors are still pretty bland. She can't go much further than slapping a single color on top of her stuff, and in the example you showed, adding accents in another color on the golden objects. The skin is awfully dead (and while it fits in context, I have suspicions she couldn't do any different). There's basically no evidence in her work that she has a working understanding of color.

From her latest video

I swear she made it look worse? She removed the canal, which gave the piece a sense of space, she added in warm lighting which ruins the feel, she made the rat the center focus instead of being part of the frame, the city seems less impressive and more squat, and she blurred everything out and made the background blend all together.

She desaturated the image, which sucked the life out of it. Perhaps the original image was a little oversaturated as a whole (it's nice to have contrast of desaturated and saturated colors), but instead of achieving that balance she just desaturated the whole thing and now it looks dead. For someone who's so adamant about setting rules for what others should or shouldn't be doing, maybe she could set herself a rule of not getting her ass into trying to teach things she can't do herself, such as color.

It seems she really doesn't like contrast or saturation in any way. This is from her online portfolio. Everything she does is so washed out and soft. Which is fine as a personal style imo but its so strange she tries to enforce that on everyone. It's a preference, not a rule.

She calls using a small brush "cheating" in this video.

"detail is a system of light and shadow, its about figuring out edges and where the light and dark is. Everyone write that back to me…"

"you don't shrink your brush to make detail, just don't blend in certain areas and that brings in the detail required. That is a symptom of line dependency. I want everyone to write that back to me, all 61 of you…don't think you can cheat your way"

at around 17 minutes in.

She also talks about how contrast is "unnatural" because reference photos are edited, so you should wash all your tones out. And how you shouldn't paint in color until you've mastered grey scale to a master's level. Color is a "distraction, it will stay a distraction forever." Why does she think the actual masters used color in their paintings??

Not to mention how, after 'fixing' that portrait, she was like "NOW this is a successful image". Like, bitch, you don't get to fuckin decide what's successful and what's not, you get to say what's wrong in terms of art (like saturation or contrast or anatomy), not that it's somehow 'perfect' or whatever just because you spent 10 mins in photoshop on it. Especially when your portfolio looks like trash.

It's like she thinks art is some big fuckin competition and not a bunch of people making what they like. Everything is about how she does it and how she thinks it should look, not style or substance.

Just go to her 14 day challenge tag in the community. It's just for people to learn to make clones of each other, and basic, conventionally attractive plastic male, and female characters.

Someone trying to break social norms of beauty in their art, and by giving them more pronounced features gets met with a lot of hostility. Istebrak and her fans really don't like diverse features.

What are your opinions on this video? Not a fan of Istebrak, but I found this video last summer in my recommended videos and it did help me get back into the habit of drawing everyday after quitting for almost 5 years. Almost joined her G+ community too, but after watching a couple of her live streams her teaching method is really toxic.

Even though I don't like her and her shit attitude, I think this video is all right for motivating the lazy artists that don't draw anything and complain about not getting any work or not improving. It sure helped me want to prove this bitch wrong lmao.

Perhaps the other anon just thought the "toxic" word is overused by little drama queens, so it's acquired an overdramatic connotation. I agree with what you are saying, tho, we just prefer to use more candid terms such as she is a damned cunt.
What bothers me the most is not just her being a cunt to people, but the fact that she is such an ass while trying to push her own twisted version of fundamentals. Basically she wants to talk with the spunk of someone who has years and years of perfectly executed fundamentals under their belt while actually having the art of a student who's afraid of going out of their comfort zone.

Ah, Istebrak. I used to worship her and watch her content regularly and swear by her secret "techniques" until I it slowly dawned to me what a hive mind her fanbase had and how entitled she was.

The streams are really the cringiest, because at the beginning Iste needs full 30 minutes browsing through her crap community selecting images to review because she almost always gets on a tangent that has nothing to do with art. I legit thought "stop talking bitch" when one time she had a nervous breakdown about some personal family related shit no one but her cared about and where she wined legit one hour about how much she hates the US because of SJWs, pedos, teh evul LGBTs and that she needs to move to Europe asap. Right after that she became agitated because of the result of the voting to axe net neutrality. Which also made her cry about loosing money on her monetized videos. basically she was trying to get pity from people in the chat and was indirectly e-bagging. I mean, we have all noticed that shekels are now all she cares about, even if she outright denies it by saying "but you also get my grand wisdom for free on youtube!!!"

Also that one time her vids were de-monetized because of a copyright strike and she organized her mob to message google to turn it back on. She also had a wonderful midlife crisis there and whined on her social media.

Ok, I have to correct myself: her vids weren't de-monetized, but her channel was banned from live streaming due to the strike. And now watching the linked vid again it was not copyright, but because of the vid being reported. Didn't really change the reason for her agitation, because no streaming=no money. The vid linked here was her signaling her fans to annoy google about the issue.

I mean, it's a legit problem when that happens to your channel and it sucks. But I remember how she whined on social media constantly about this, repeating over and over how she will have to cease teaching if her channel won't get fixed. In the end everything got fixed anyway and pretty fast too but she had no patience at all, so she made her fans annoy google over twitter about this.

Too bad for her students she didn't stop. They could benefit from not having the autistic screeching she calls "teaching" setting them in questionable directions.
It's partially their fault for giving her any attention, but at the same time most of them must be in that phase where they still don't know how to judge a mediocre artist with a shitty mentality from a good professional.

There was a trend that was going on for a few months now. It was this thing called "rt for a drawing of your icon" and the people who got like 500-5k+ retweets on their tweets didn't finish more than 20 drawings.

Then there was a guy sharing his tutorial around (it was basically for people who weren't happy they got what they wanted from the "rt for a drawing of your icon" thing). It was really… subpar, but then it also misinformed so many normies who took that tutorial by throwing the term "vector art" around that it stirred arguments from both experienced and inexperienced artists.

I wonder that too… as far as I know from her talk about personal stuff her Arab parents are muslims who take islam quite seriously. She was for example not allowed by her parents to draw, because picturing stuff in Islam is forbidden. So it could be that she picked up fundamentalist, conservative views. Also I feel she whines about "metrosexuals" and LGBT people a lot because she seems obsessed with being anti-SJW.

She also hates androgyny in both genders. If you make a female character butch and masculine it's bad in her eyes, even if it fits the character (if they are for example a warrior). Tbh, anything that deviates from the standard feminine girly girl and butch muscly hunk is crap to her, because when you design characters you should only stick to the tropes that are "industry certified". (whatever that means!)

Hell, she is so fixed on doing generic crap she once "improved" the design of a character in a piece of fanart that's from a game and was made by an actual professional character designer. And as you can imagine her redesign was total crap. In the comments she defended it with "professionals too can make shitty design decisions".

Linked the video. It's the first piece. People then wrote under the video that it's fanart and in some other stream she gave the answer that the design is lackluster (which I don't think is in a later video. She usually trims the streams and her afterhours aren't uploaded).

Also she did a terrible redesign of the new pennywise, because to her the new movie version wasn't creepy enough. Her fans wrote defensive answers to people who basically said under the video "the original works better".

Istebrak is decent if you don't have the money to pay for art classes. She has helped me a lot, and her portrait studio program is helpful. Sadly you have to ignore all the dumb shit she starts rambling about.
But for those who want to learn art, there are much better teachers out there. If you can, it's better to invest in other online schools like Schoolism, Oatley Academy, etc. They're taught by actual industry professionals. As far as I know Istebrak has worked on jack shit.

Sorry if i'm derailing the Proko talk, but I wanted to know: am I being too harsh or does the lighting in Danica Sill's latest art piece really make no damn sense?

Y'know, I think you're right. Danica is a very technical artist who works with primarily the same formula over and over. She's been trying to do new lighting stuff recently but i think she missed the mark here.

I couldn't find any mention about these two, but I can't believe I'm the only watercolourist tired of them
a) who and why is subscribing to watercolour misfit's channel? All her "tutorials" are extremely poor in content with her either maundering or saying something everyone on yt has already said but in creepiest, slowest pace as if she was talking to a slow child?
b) Marty Owing's "in depth" reviews (="first impressions" actually) are apogee of shit. It's amazing how he's always making sure to tell you he has tried a lot of art supplies yet talks nonsense like tests dissolved watercolour pencils for erasability "so that's something to keep in mind" - WTF? Also, he's reviews are incredibly biased in favor of practically any FC product. So one time he will be very critical because there is no colour name on a pencil (seriously, why is it such a big deal? ) and/or some pencils in a set have slightly lower lightfast ratings YET he ranks Art Grip Aquarell (no colour name, no lightfast ratings, awful pigmentation) 4th place in he's top watercolor pencils list.

Hello! Watercolourist here. I only watched Watercolor Misfit's reviews on tools in general, but after recently watching her other videos of her painting out of curiosity, yeah I'm not really a fan of her tutorials.
I think I came across Owings Art before and saw some of his reviews before, and I wasn't a fan of them either. Like what you mentioned with how he ranked Art Grip Aquarell in 4th place.
For me the only watercolourists worth following are Mateusz Urbanowicz and James Gurney. I'd also put Bao Pham here although they're more of speedpaints than actual tutorials. Sure their style isn't really my thing but I really like looking how their works progressed along the way.

but it's all the same subject, she doesn't seem to really think outside of her own techniques or anything. and while the way she colors used to be really nice to me, it's just super stale now.

Ross Tran and Kelogsloops are young but they're already establishing themselves professionally, so I wouldn't put them in the same barrel, people who waste time being dramatic on the internet usually have social media as their main gig. Perhaps Kesh and Vexx are establishing themselves professionally too, I just don't watch them enough to know.

Am I the only one who thinks the new shading makes zero sense?

The left one has a clear light source from the right and looks very soft. Meanwhile the "corrected" versions ear shadows don't make much sense to me, and the jaw shadow is way too sharp, what the hell is going on with the bright blue streaks she added, the light source is clearly not there? She also ruined the colour scheme, that was a nice reddish and green tones.

Istebrak's anatomy is really weird imo. Pic VERY related, what are these tumor obliques? The anatomy indicates the woman has a very short ribcage, but the rib placement is confusing and she has highset breasts, has a high fat percentage and no muscle definition. Somehow has a fullblown adonis belt and her ribs and chest plate stick out - indicating she has a large ribcage (due to the high bodyfat percentage)?

Now I am no expert in art, but these just stuck out to me, if I am totally wrong - please do correct me.

nah that's nitpicky, don't get me wrong i hate istebrak but that seems to be a decently realistic way for fat to be dispersed imo. I look like that + paint for moneys

also idk why you posted the muscly lady? she looks way more 'wrong' if that makes sense, as in if someone were to draw her it would look incorrect due to art standards

Nah, that’s my body to a t, down to the chubby thighs and weird extra tummy bump above the belly button. I have the same breasts and the prominent ribs. She really pushes references on her students (one of her good pieces of advice) so I don’t doubt she used one for that piece.
It is weird she seems to think that is the only anatomically correct body and shits on artists who add more muscle definition to their women or less curves. It goes hand in with her “this is what a woman’s face looks like: long and thin lips, high cheekbones, thin eyebrows, square and short face, short forehead, relatively large chin, pointed nose etc” thing. There’s only one ideal of beauty to her and it’s that body and this face. And anything else is “wrong” and “bad” and “unappealing.” She will then “correct” her student’s work to fit this ideal, as if it is the only version of realism and beauty. Strange woman.

This makes no sense. If someone in real life looks like that, it would not be "incorrect". And what "art standards" are those you speak of? If you mean how people are usually portrayed in anatomy studies, that's a very generalist view. Not everyone is going to have the same proportions.

I remember that in one of her videos she was painting a black kid and she said something like "they don't have those lovely peachy tones to their skin" and it didn't sit right with me. She doesn't have them either (she seems to be olive skinned) and also seems to be on the chubbier end of things, so I am guessing she probably really hates herself.

there is a sort of rule in art used for production that is basically, don't draw "freaks" if you were actually drawing a commissioned portrait of this woman, obviously you are going to try and be accurate. Her body definitely isn't common even for fit women so unless it is specifically asked for it isn't a good idea. Of course, art doesn't really have rules, and you can do whatever you want, but using her as reference for a character in a painting for instance would look weird to the common eye if it was anything but a study and your reference was not shown. basic proportion and beauty standards DO apply in the industry, unfortunately. Again this mostly applies to production art, not fine art, although if someone wants to make a conventionally attractive Pretty Waman piece this applies.

She sees at as a white glob of clay and that's pretty much her own words. She's always telling her students to view the canvas as clay and that you should use actual clay or sculpting programs to learn to draw, suggests z brush (although her techniques are so traditional and basic that she only needs sculptress). She banishes all lines but finished line-art (no structure lines dear, clay doesn't work like that).And flushes the color out of everything if not totally banning it.

I mean, all of the above are great exercises, even her use of one color(Glob of blue clay). But damn woman, your holding everyone, and yourself especially, back with your clay obsession. Visual media has so much more to offer and the techniques and tools make things like city building, color, and jotting ideas down much easier.

Maybe but I feel like she took unrelated drawings in unrelated stories and was like “this is the initial design!” I feel like purposefully creating a character for a particular story and then having it morph over time is a lot different than illustrating a blonde girl twice and then doing a story around an Asian-esque girl seven months later. I guess because the name is the same? Or because it was just her trying to find a character to write a story about?

No. 250156

I don't see the problem. She started with an idea, which seemed to be something very simple along the lines of "young girl", saw what didn't work and changed it accordingly. I don't think the girl is asian tho, it would reek a bit of forced diversity if she was, but Dina mentioned something about making the girl look like herself, and she's not asian.

That aside, what I did find a bit weird is openly making a character be a self insert. That usually turns out being a little… cheesy. But if that's what she wants, I hope she can make it work. It probably doesn't matter that much if it's a children's book.

I tried so hard to enjoy drawingwiffwaffles but she makes my goddamn ears bleed.

My litmus test for a quality YT artist boils down to their opinion on those monthy subscriber boxes. The vast majority of them aren't worth the money, have obvious brand deals or are just not that great/exciting. Most artists on YT who know better are at the very least 100% honest about the quality of each box. Waffles shills them like no tomorrorow and I suspect she gets them for free. She's probably admitted to it before, but I wouldn't know because that lolrandum 2007 13 year old hyper scene girl voice she puts on makes me cringe. I used to think Lemia's voice was hard to stomach, but she sounds like an angel in comparison.

Her art isn't Baylee-level shitty but she's got a really unattractive style. In a way it looks almost exactly how her voice sounds. Trying entirely too hard to be unique with those bug-eyes and square shaped faces. I wonder if she has a square face as well. Holly Brown gives all of her characters the same lopsided potato head that she has so maybe Waffles has the same thing going on.

She reminds me of a California girl who has like, two black friends and thinks it gives her permission to act 'hood'. But like, her idea of 'hood' is that annoying shit Snoop Dogg popularized in the late 2000s.

On top of that she's got the art skills of a 9th grader. Does she not realize that her fanbase is mostly children?

It's obvious she has no idea what 'bougie' really means and most likely wanted to start using it after she heard the coolio black folk saying it. I personally can't stand her expensive/cheap art supply comparisons. I get that she's just pandering to her broke child fanbase but it really makes her look ignorant as an artist. That fishfaced cow Sakuems even commented on the cringe in her latest comparison video.

I get the "youtuber who happens to do art" with some channels, like Rae's, but it's not because of the face aspect, it's more about how their personality comes off.

It's because faces enable the viewer to form a deeper connection to you, and thus be more interested. However, sometimes it can backfire and you may actually turn viewers away. It's natural to look for someone's face when they're talking to you, but when you're not entirely interested in the purely social aspect of it (e.g. when you're watching a video for the art) it can be out of place.

Also she spent as much on the pen + shipping ($35) as she would've if she got one of the amazon sold ones. What even is the point?

Hold bag that has PLA written on front, "I think I have PLA?" Then make "that's what she said" type joke. Didn't think the plastic would be hot after being literally melted.

Anyone else thinks it's really ugly to blatantly say you're good at something? Sure, sometimes it's true, but I feel it's lack of people skills to do that. It's much more elegant (for lack of a better word) to just present what you have and let people judge for themselves. I see that a lot on people who are good at something at a young age, seems like they get a heightened sense of self importance and still don't quite have the maturity to handle things.

Has anybody else noticed this trend lately where artists (like this one, and especially Istebrak) do these 'highly detailed' portraits/character studies where only the face is super detailed? Like, in this one, the face has all of these different colors and shades and highly detailed areas, but when you look at the chest/arms/hands, they're nearly flat?
Why is that? Are they just lazy or is it supposed to be stylistic? Do they just not know how to do anything other than realistic faces, or is it because they think we won't notice since our eyes naturally go to the face? It just seems unprofessional to me.

I always thought it was done purposefully as faces are typically the focal point of most portrait drawings. When I was in art classes still my teacher would critique my drawings saying I put too much detail all over instead of just in the face and especially the eyes.


But I think that the way she draws chests are really weird. Especially in the white snow-princess looking one. Like there's no cleavage or anything at all. It makes the anatomy look really weird, and in the redheaded one it almost looks like there's no collar bone at all.

This is a good example of how a lot of artists are. At first glance it looks really good. Then you look again…what's going on with the chest? Why is one eye noticeably larger than the other? What's going on with the neck and collarbone?

They have really good "rendering" skill, that is color and light, but less skill in other areas. In the comic world they would do the colors while someone else did the inking/lines.

She advertises herself as a Christian artist so maybe she's managed to lean into that particular niche audience??

That's on her YouTube channel's about page. I mean, obviously she suffers a bit from Dunning-Kruger because if those are God-given talents, he really gave her the short end of the stick, but she certainly leans into the Christian thing, and I find a lot of Christian heavy artists tend to gain a moderate following.

Nothing wrong with saying you're good at something. As long as you actually have some skill. A lot of people are good are drawing. Not amazing, but if they put some effort into it can push out some decent stuff.
I'd say Sara, while she may kind of be a bit…haughty sometimes, she definitely has a right to say she's good. She has her weak points, but she clearly has quite a bit of skill. And at 19 years old she's definitely allowed to have weak points and still be confident about where she's at. I don't think she's so overconfident that she's going to stagnate because I think she still recognizes that she has to continue studying and working towards improvement.

No. 253658

>>253643
I don't see the point on saying you're good either way. If you're actually not that good, you'll look delusional and a product of Dunning-Kruger. And if you are actually good (and self confident about it), there's no point in station you're good, for your "goodness" should be obvious.
That's why people saying they're good either look like arrogant pricks or insecure and looking for approval.
Of course there are exceptions in specific situations, tho. But a voice-over on Youtube is not one of them. I'm not advocating for false modesty, just that sometimes you don't need to state things. Let people judge for themselves.

It’s not that big of a deal. I’d rather someone acknowledge that they’re good at something (if they are actually good) then constantly being self-deprecating.

No. 253832

>>253658
Nah. I don't even think I'd necessarily look at someone as experiencing Dunning-Kruger if they said they were good at drawing even though they weren't that good. Saying you're good at something is a pretty lowball compliment. It's more the attitude that it's said with than it is the statement itself. Are they bragging and trying to hold themselves up to a higher standard than they actually perform? Or are they just saying they're happy with where they're at so far, in a way that allows them to accept compliments gracefully and have some confidence in where they're going with their art?
Of course, maybe it doesn't bug me because I consider myself a good artist while also being pretty aware of how much I still have to learn.

Yeah, you can get a lot of stuff out of it. While having a mentor is ideal, it doesn't mean you can't go far without it, you just might struggle a bit on finding out what you have to do.
The best tip I can offer right now is try to be very analytical about your work, try to identify your weaknesses and don't be lazy on seeking the fundamentals to fix those weaknesses. Also, even if you don't have a formal mentor, having friends who are artists and asking for feedback also helps a lot.
>I’ve been following ctrl paint for a bit and have learned a lot in terms of technique but i still can’t get my stuff looking like his.
While I heavily recommend Ctrl+Paint, you also have to get deeper into the fundamentals on the side. Your stuff isn't necessarily going to look like his after doing his exercises because he has a lot more under his belt, so work on getting stuff under your belt. Also, I'm assuming you are saying you actually do the exercises with the videos, if not, you can't really expect to get very far on his teachings.

there's /ic/ on 4chan but the sheer negativity I feel like is bad for an artist's progression. The opinions people hold on there kind of remind me of istebrak, as in don't try anything that's above your skill level (but if you do that you'll never get anywhere with your art.)

I don't see anything wrong with adoptables per se, a lot of people want to have a character for a roleplay or story they're writing or whatever but can't draw worth shit so they just buy a design. It's just like buying any other design (like for a website) in my eyes and if people want to pay cash, then go for it. It's pretty harmless in my books and a fair trade. The prices do get insane though, I've seen Furry characters go for HUNDREDS of dollars.

No. 255834

In all honesty, furries are a ridiculously ludicrous audience to have. Most of them are men in their late 20's or 30's working high-paying tech jobs so they have a lot of disposable income to throw at their furry fantasies. They're also obsessed with the life style so they're going to dig up the money no matter what. I've had friends draw furry art solely for the money because those guys are ready to pay if you're somewhat skilled and willing to draw their OCs. When regular commissions go for around 30 to 80 bucks, furry ones go for 300 to 800.

No. 255871

seriously reference sheets (kinda of a turn around sheet with a few things up close) average $1500!! and generally furries are actually really nice clients and even if its not perfect still pay you well and compliment your art (im terrible at drawing animals/detailed anthros or I'd do this more just for the nice clients)

I'm acknowledge my irrational anger, but Emerson Barrett and his sharpie doodle art drives me up a fucking wall. He basically just doodles on a very large scale in sharpies, dresses like a hobo and thinks he's great for it, and is pretentious as shit. Calls himself a pirate, and he also shoplifts and steals clothes from stores and random objects from hotels as he wanders around the country with his older brothers playing mediocre drums in the band Palaye Royale (seriously I hope that one Warped Tour date I went to was just an off day for him because that was some really bad drumming). He's not milky enough to sustain a real thread, but he's enough of a cow to make me want to scream at the internet.

Pic includes his art behind him. It grinds my gears that he markets his face first, his art second, and his philosophy third…Philosophies that sound like someone vomited up Thoreau into a tumblr blog and stuck it all into a blender. His instagram captions are the worst. In addition, he just ugly. It's honestly impressive that he manages to be that bad at owning a face.

People online keep telling me how nice he and his brothers are. Nah. I had a ten-minute conversation with him that basically resulted in him giving me "life advice" in a condescending manner.

Good art needs to be technically well-done and/or have a significant concept behind it.
Making a million detailed drawings of European architecture is impressive in its focus, but it is not good in technique, and there is no clear concept shown in the image. It’s just “look at this building I drew.” It’s just glorified doodling on fancy paper. Boy needs to stop huffing sharpies.

He's practically WOSHIPPED by the Hetalia fandom and though his art is alright, his design choices are just so bland and lifeless. His Planetary Moe series is praised a lot, but I really don't get how people love the designs so much.

On another note, he has that kind of holier-than-thou attitude and acts really passive aggressive towards anyone who doesn't kiss his ass.

He also acted particularly hostile towards Viktor from YOI because he looked like his character Uranus and featured a comic where Uranus beat upthe Viktor for "defacing" him. Even though all his main characters are all recoloured ripoffs of Hetalia characters. I also remember he made fun of Earth chan in one of his more recent comics.

That insult has been around since the 90s. It doesn't really mean anything. Artists who didn't even go there get labeled with it.

Animation goes through phases of styles, depending on technology and popular tastes. Gumball, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and Star are all seen as "the same." Because they're so popular and all very similar, people assume its a "generic" style created by CalArts somehow. People throw in Undertale, even though the creator isn't from CAlArts.

I've also seen people call it "bean face" shape, which would be more accurate than "calarts". Steven Universe gets flack for calarts style even though Rebecca S. is from SVA in NYC. It doesn't really matter, like the previous anon said. The style's gone through cycles in the 90s, 80s, 70s, etc. Now's no different, people are just losing their shit because there's gonna be a new Thundercats cartoon in a style irrelevant 35-40 yr olds hate.

Not sure if I should put this here or in the bad art thread, but I just had to point out how bad Danica Sills' latest instagram post is. Like where is the anatomy?

No. 260480

I usually like Danica and her style, and I like the fact that she's been doing stuff like trying lineless painting - finally - but I think in terms of subject matter she needs to try something else, I think maybe constant girls with injuries and their bones visible and masses of swirly hair is getting a bit stale for her.

No. 260481

Agreed. Like maybe try drawing a masculine man for once? All of the males she draws are just as feminine as the females. Actually, I think what would really do her some good would be to try some different, slightly more realistic body types for once. That's what bothers me most about her style, all her people are so thin they look anorexic.

I used to watch her videos, but her themes started to get repetitious very quickly. Bust-shots or waist shots of waif-thin characters with the same painting style over and over again.

and her voice overs are nothing to write home about either, she's just drones on about technical stuff or things she tried to do differently, but it always ends up looking the same. I haven't followed her in a while so it's a little sad to see she hasn't tried anything outside of her comfort zone.

She's good at colors, but I think she relies too heavily on it to try to distract from her lack of anatomical study…

No. 260610

I used to watch her too, but I found her voice overs to be painful to listen to (either she needs to take more pauses to clear her throat or a drink of water, the vocal fry is awful!). But I agree with you in regard to her subject matter being super repetitive, I wish she would branch away from the stick thin girls and try something different, like drawing males that don't look so feminine. I do find her color choices to be pretty uninspiring though, they feel really safe.

It was all just a way to get eyes on her channel but she really just wanted attention THAT badly that she felt like getting on a live stream and starting shit, then was too chicken shit to stick to her guns.
Don't pay attention to her, she's small potatoes and will be irrelevant tomorrow as long as she stays quiet or until she wants to whine about something else that she thinks is 'unfair.'

I didn't even know she was an art youtuber right off the bat, I had to check the landing page of her channel, because I wasn't sure if she actually did art, or if she just was a part of the peanut gallery who liked to talk shit about other people doing art.


She's really self absorbed and brags so much about how she helps 'smaller youtubers' with collaborations and shout outs, but it's like…ok and? That still doesn't make her entitled or grant her access to what larger art youtubers do or have. Some of it was luck and some of it was hard work growing a channel.

If she gets subscribers it's just going to be a bunch of other small fry youtubers who feel like they can relate to her sense of entitlement and put their worth on a number.

I like Kasey, I really do. She’s basic and inoffensive and just something fun, but this video pissed me off and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I do observational + life drawing a lot, but the way she went about this bothered me.
First off, good job Kasey at blundering your time at the Catfe. You could’ve just drawn the darn cats and not wasted your time getting videos of them, but that wouldn’t have made a good video huh? It’s not like life drawing is about doing things fast and loose and not always accurately.
And then when she goes home she’s incapable of sticking with one pose bc her cats move? This may be my own opinion but that’s just another skill you exercise by doing life drawing. It’s just how it works.
The last line really bugged me though. “So drawing from real life is really good but when you can’t look at a reference picture or some sort of pose, I guess that’s where it can have its disadvantages.” Yes Kasey. That is the point of life drawing. You don’t make full ass colored illustrations like you want to do, you have to capture the motion and work around the fact that shit moves sometimes.
This all might be just me but idk, something about this video bugs tf out of me.

It's a bit hard to say what I like without pointing out my dislikes because it's sort of a process of elimination. I may like one style of video done by one person but not like it when it's done by another because the later had some characteristic I didn't enjoy.
For example, I tend to dislike videos if the person is ranty. I may enjoy a sketchbook tour a lot if I consider the art good, meanwhile really disliking the ones where I don't like the art (sort of a given). I tend to really enjoy those higher effort vlogs where people show you around their studio and how they go about their day. Videos revolving completely around a piece of art need some extra appeal to it, like being educational or revolving around an interesting topic.
Good lighting and audio are a big plus.

I’m not very picky with my YT artists, they just have to be nice + personable and have a style that I find interesting. My favorite videos tend to be when they just do original full illustrations w/ commentary, challenge vids annoy me unless I really like the artist as a person. Best commentary topics imo are about the industry itself and art progression, I want to ban “My art teacher hated me!!1!” and “Things beginners should never do ever!!” and “Types of art students!!!!!!” from my recommendeds forever.

My least favorite types of artists, have to be that one artist that draws that one female face or body type, but with a different skin color or hair(extra brownie points if she has terf bangs or is a witch), or the artist that constantly talks about how unique they are or an artist that constantly hates their work.

I agree. Domics, who I think is a talented animator when he DOES animate, just does a bunch of animatic storytimes with minimal animation and he actually hired a TEAM to do it for him…I understand that actual animating takes a ton of time and talent to get out a finished product, but his are so bland, uncolored and use tons of recycled animations from previous videos.

IMO, while ginjaninja isn't at his level of actual animating, her stuff is more visually appealing due to the color and style. I feel like Dom doesn't put much effort into his, and he gets super salty if anyone points out that having an animator team for his videos is overkill.

I'm not super well versed on animation so people can feel free to correct me, but that's just the impression I get.

It's not a bad thing if you just do it for your own enjoyment or make it in to postcards targeted for 10-13 yo girls.
But for art school it doesn't cut it. His colour usage is fine, but would need to do more than potraits if you wanna enroll and keep going in art school.

God, fuck Baby Blue Bones/Bellatores/Sugar Bunny Buns. She's the artist of that picture. I fucking hate her so much it hurts. She was on YT a bit (only a few vids, mostly active on DA), but I'm going to bitch about her here anyway. Her main OC, Bella, was a copy of Melanie Martinez (and she was obsessed with this person until the rape shit happened, then she threw away everything iirc). She constantly was making threats to kill herself/talking about how badly she wanted to die, she tried calling Solar out on shit her (at the time) Fiance, DeviantCringe, was waaaaay more guilty of, she made false/exaggerated claims about associates in a Twitter DM whatever the fuck, recently she was bitching about DeviantCringe still using 'her' design of the mascot (He had switched artists for the portraits at this point) when the design was made by Rigiroony and the only difference is it's a bandana instead of a blindfold. Iirc should would constantly talking about having multiple mental illness all over her public art accounts (ED, anxiety, depression, and I feel like there was more, but I don't remember for sure), is dating another somewhat popular ranter (JustaRobot) which makes me sorta feel like she's doing it for exposure considering she dated and got engaged to DC for a year or two and now she's with JAR, and has done several other milky things that I can't really recall right now

Lately I'm frustrated (not really pissed, but constantly disappointed) with youtube artists (mostly illustrators) who vlog about anything but art and seem to post anything but art. I don't really see the point of posting "my comission experience", "my favourite art supplies", "My commisioner once said faces I draw look retarded and my heart was broken, boohoo", "I'm painting a wall in my studio vol III" if they don't support them with their art. So I head to instagram and what I see is selfies, selfies, starbucks drinks, etsy shop t-shirts and stickers (who buys that shit anyways?!) and absolutely simplistic "relatable" illustrations anyone could make - just made with copics and mangaka fineliners.
And yet those attention junkies have thousandsof viewers. I seriously don't understand. It's like watching somebody talking of their made up job.

It comes down to appeal and audience age. YouTube and Instagram were just touted as the MOST used platforms for people under 18. That shit doesn't appeal to me and obviously not you but preteens and teens eat that shit up. It's what's popular so it's not surprising it brings followers. Speed paints of actual interesting and talented artists? 2k views. Muh terrible commission experience? 100k.

What really gets me with 'vent art' is the lack of effort. Maybe it's because I follow a lotta literally whos on DeviantART where people like to make their 'serious' art account also their public bitching grounds for every personal little thing, but all of it is done so shittily. Often, it's just shitty edgy, repetitive scribbles and it feels like the only reason it's there is for pity points. I also know someone who draws themselves cutting, starving, hanging, etc, but it's all just shitty scribbles that aren't even bare minimum. Very rarely do I see anyone make vent art where they actually create a piece that looks decent. I don't get it, you can still make a vent piece and piece that looks nice, it's not like you have to give one of them up to do the other. I wish some of these people would use what they're feeling to make something good since emotion is a great way to make a good piece, even if it's simplistic

But she said (and I couldn’t agree more about this) that beginners should learn with a limited palette so that they can learn colour mixing. Also she said Sakura koi was better, when Sakura koi doesn’t have a peach tone in their smaller box from what I can remember.
Just. You know. Pick one. Either you want people to have pre mixed colour (such as skin tone that I swear it’s so easy to mix…) or you want them to learn how to mix. You can’t have a “basic” set with peach.

It's 20 bucks (plus shipping) on e-bay for a set of 12 full pans… Cotman's set of 12 half pans is 10 bucks and the quality is worse than White Nights.
Let's not forget that White Nights is borderline, if not fully Artist's grade (there is some controversy about that since a few of their colors are subpar compared to others).
I'd like to know which are those budget options you speak of. The only cheaper nice one I can think of is Gansai Tambi, and while the colors are vibrant, they don't behave too much as "classic" western watercolors.

No. 267065

>>267016
I used the Gansai's when I first got serious with watercolor and despite not being like "traditional" watercolors, they are definitely better than the Kois. But even the Prang watercolors are nicer to work with than the Kois, mostly because they don't have that chalky finish and are relatively cheap. What we were originally talking about is how Lemia nitpicks at weird aspects of a product (like the White Nights not having a premixed peach tone) yet thinks highly of the Koi paints even though they're nothing to really write home about.

No. 267085

I’m the anon from Europe, I was talking about the koi ones: they’re way more expensive than white nights.
Yeah the small set is pretty inexpensive, but tbh if you’re pretty minimalist with your colours there’s la petite acquerelle by Sennelier That retails at around 15/20 euros here.
There are artist and student grade options way better than koi, I tried Van Gogh by royal talens, maimeri venezia, winsor and Newton Cotman and Sakura koi for student grade and Sakura koi are maybe the worst. I mean they’re more pigmented than w&N (which I don’t like at all) but they’re chalky and opaque, so totally not worth the hype.

wow… that's so true. You can see right through her. It's really disingenuous, as well I didn't know I was clicking onto an ad because the title was so long and she didn't state it in the video which is misleading. However she did add 'ad' right at the end of the title, nice.

I really want to like Minnie but I'm getting tired of all these ads! And it's not just her, but other YouTube artists seem to only post sponsored videos.

But on the topic of other artists that are walking ads, I feel like PearFleur has fallen into that. I can't remember the last video she's posted that hasn't been an ad.

Yooo, I've been thinking the same thing for a while now. She used to not want to sell her artwork and keep it a hobby. Her old videos seemed to give off the feeling that she looked down on the idea of making money off of her art. But now she keeps doing sponsored vid after sponsored vid and it's hard not to raise eyebrows at that.

It's fine to have differing opinions on art and making money off of it, but she just did a complete 180 and she doesn't really post much about art anymore.

Oh my lord, just tried to sit through a LemiaCrescent video and she is so patronising. She can't say anything without coming across bitchy or aggressive like is this how you talk to people irl? I just don't get it, the way she comes across is worse than Holly BRown in my opinion, and what's laughable is that her art is painfully mediocre, like she has a leg to stand on. I guess her impressionable subscribers want a mummy to tell them what's right and wrong and scold people on what they shouldn't do.

I don't care about sponsored videos if they are enjoyable, and I enjoy Minnie's and Pearfleur's videos, with or without sponsors.
I honestly don't see much of a problem on the Skillshare videos because each artist picks a different theme each time. In fact, sometimes it even takes some of them out of their comfort zone. It's not like the Squarespace ads where, if I remember correctly, it's the same "build your own website" thing over and over again. And I think it's great our fellow artists are finding ways to make profit to help their incomes, being too anal over that can come back and bite us right in the ass.

does she not realise that the astm or whoever does the industry standard lightfastness ratings (as well as some paint manufacturers who do their own tests) are the ones who hold pigments to that standard?

they test how long a pigment will last UNDER THE BEST CONDITIONS POSSIBLE which happens to be museum conditions. That's the standard they hold it to, not how long it will last hanging on someone's wall because that's different from person to person but museums generally have a standard among them all about how to store/display paintings.

You guys got things mixed. She defended baylee, and spoke against HOLLY, not speechie.
>>270957
I’m not momo, you sure jump pretty quick. I don’t agree with you so I must be the one who drew that thing?
Let me be clear: I don’t think there’s THAT much of an improvement, that’s a jump that could easily be done in less than one year, so three years for that means ALMOST no improvement for my standards. HOWEVER, I feel like you’re talking out of your ass. The first picture has more balance just because it’s frontal, the other one is turned. I’m pretty sure the picture would be off balance back then too if she was in the same pose. I liked the previous ribbons but the single elements of the picture are overall drawn better now. Plus the colouring got smoother. Look at the blush and the hard edges of the “before” and the flat washes of the “after”. That’s not something I’m saying just because I like to “defend” people, but I simply don’t agree with you; that doesn’t make me another person.
I can point pretty much everything that’s off in that after picture, and I’m not saying it’s great; but saying she regressed it’s simply asinine to me.
If I had to compare, the one who heavily regressed is baylee, she’s just hiding behind another “style”. This? Not much, but still an improvement.

Also yes this board is full of trolls and so on but she lurked and her friend Alice even took some of the advices given in this “hate” forum to greatly improve her videos; so I don’t think everybody here is a “troll” just because they don’t like her, her bff or what they create.

Not the anon you're replying to, but I particularly feel that while her technique seems to have improved a little, I liked the other style better.

It honestly still just looks like the features are swimming around on the facial plane. and in the second one, maybe it's the ribbon's direction, but it makes it look like the face is sliding off her head. The first one may be muddy, but the second one lacks balance.

Lavendertowne is extremely overrated for the art she does and the topics she covers. Her only claim to fame were those damn "DO THIS, NOT that" videos which aren't really as offensive as they sound, but they are pretty generic and overall her style and tone of vids are super boring. I was subscribed to her at one point, but I lost interest pretty quickly. I just don't get the appeal, maybe it's cause I can see right through the big-eyed wobbly lined cutesy style.

I see your point, and I think that’s totally the direction she would like to take (if not full realism?) and I totally agree, she doesn’t have the skills yet to pull a convincing semi realism. What you call character, to me is even less structure and symbol drawing. Personally I’d pick the newer version.
>>271054
Well it’s pretty evident that she doesn’t understand anatomy, she’s placing elements together in a way that could be appealing or in a way that makes more sense to her. Her technique improved and the understanding of certain things too, but just like tons of others youtubers she lacks fundamentals. I have no idea why people keep avoiding simple studies or anatomy practices. They sometimes say things like “yeah I do anatomy studies” and they are literally two gestures in a sketchbook full of floating faces.
Btw the face is skewed even without that ribbon, the eyes totally mess up everything, the nose is too big and low and the lips don’t make much sense as they look more frontal than the rest of the bust.

I don't follow her as much, so I don't know her track record, all I know is her art is mediocre, but she makes a lot of it, and that she has a comic that she just doesn't pick back up because she only wants to draw fanart, and randomly has a mortgage now?

Yes, with Kickstarter my password often doesn't work. I and several others have had huge issues logging in, and so I've taken to emailing people to update them.

Me and Lauren have been working on the Kickstarter all year, but we've had to also work our regular stuff. It sucks how long it's taken.

Recently I was contacted by the Lucy Potts on that thread and I opened up to them about the entire reason it's been delayed as much as it has - something I cant actually discuss publically - but felt compelled to just sperge on them, and they took it really well and completely understand what happened two years ago.

Transfer, my comic, is actually being written - Lauren is my comic inker and it's something I've been revamping for a launch.

I draw fanart, sure! It's fun.

Anyway yeah, again I'm commenting because I do lurk here often because people do like to spread falsities about me. Look a few threads back, I took complete ownership of all the Kickstarter issues.

In my defense, it wasn't my fault. That's all I can say. But I shoulder the responsibility fully. It's my name on the project, and I have to settle with the consequenses of that.

I've been actually trying to get my enamel pin manufacturer sorted because they keep dropping my emails - I'm making new products for the kickstarter to make up for the delay.

Anyway, Kickstarter's log in screen sucks ass, I'm sick of getting locked out of my account with zero help from them.

tl;dr - I accept the Kickstarter is delayed and I am actually still working on it - all the books are packaged and addressed, I'm literally waiting on the extras to arrive.
The delay is a hugely private matter that I've told to some Kickstarter backers, and could never speak publically about.
And yes, I agree my art needs to improve a lot - I'm in an art rut lately anyway.

I looked at the comments just on this video, and people were still going on about Rae's cubism point she made in her first video about the box. Guess what Rae, if you actually attempted to use the markers you'd know that you can get more neutral muted colors with them too.

Lachri has a record of being honest about her reviews as well while Rae's is a bit more questionable, like when she did the cheap vs expensive watercolor comparison (that was a total shit show btw) I'm not trying to sound like a Lachri stan, but Rae's channel thrives off of drama and over embellishing, so I don't take what she has to say very seriously

She's dishonest and petty (kinda like Lemia but with a bigger following), she over embellishes on matters which, like in the case of Lachri/SmartArt can hurt someone's reputation. She reminds me of one of those drama channels, I've seen her comment on them before so it wouldn't surprise me if she's trying to ape that behavior because drama equals more money. But in all seriousness, I hope that commenters is a troll because if that a real person then we as a society are doomed lol

Omg she roasted rae’s video without even mentioning it once.
She covered all of the issues pointed out by Rae and was so smart about it (ie “the canvas was dirty!!!” “Even if I smudge graphite all over my canvas it doesn’t matter as I’m going to cover it up with colours and they’re pretty good colours, not opaque at all!”)
I didn’t know this girl but I loved how she handled the situation. I wouldn’t say I agree 100% with her though because I don’t think people asking for the box are paying for a “lesson”; if the content is slightly below the price it’s no big deal but from what I researched the content’s worth was about half the price paid. And she was maybe a little too adamant over that but I see her point and it’s her opinion so I can respect that.
Also the three pictures she made are better than what Rae could ever DREAM of doing one day.
It was amazing to watch.

Why do you want a degree? Honest question. If you have a good reason that's fine, but the best parts about art school are networking opportunities, deadlines that make you get stuff done and then all the lessons. The degree is usually the most worthless part–unless you go somewhere prestigious.

Because of the lack of networking I'd really recommend against online art school personally.

You know what, good on Lachri. I may not personally be able to stand her voice for more than 2 videos, but she does put out good information and is very professional in the way she handles herself. From what I've seen she treats her social media as part of her job as an artist, and a lot of artists don't know how to do that. Like Rae.

I think Rae just wanted to stir the pot and get some views. I don't even recall, in the video, her telling her audience NOT to dog other youtubers/the owners of the art box about the service(and if she did her fans conveniently didn't hear that part), she just shat the video out and irresponsibly let the chips fall where they may. The majority of her viewers haven't even tried the product and just ate it all up.

Agreed, Rae's channel thrives off of dramatics and silliness, while Lachri at least tries to keep things professional and fun for her audience. What bothered me was that Rae was making SmartArt out to be this large company (which apparently equals evil depending on what perspective you view things from) and it seems she also didn't even bother to use the supplies. What I can't stand about Rae is that she seems to have this self righteous attitude about EVERYTHING and can't put her ego on the back burner for anything. She's using her audiences blind trust for all the wrong reasons. I saw that Chleo Rose can honestly go fuck herself since she seems incapable of being able to think for herself and seems to have her head so far up her own ass that she can't see when someone is making dramatics of a small situation.

No. 272002

ok but how do these mediocre (if not outright bad) artists get popular? I don't understand. this probably gets asked a lot but it blows my mind that people like Baylee jae, Chleo rose, rae etc gain any sort of following at all when they suck. is it because their skills aren't intimidating or something? it legit makes me think I can make it as an art tuber but I feel like there's something fundamental I'm missing here about their success.

No. 272004

It's basically impossible to underestimate what kids (or even adults who never draw or look at art) will think is good. If you consider that actually being a good artist is pretty rare, and the bar for impressing people is low, it figures that some shit artists would get popular.

No. 272017

>>272004
is it rare though?! maybe i'm biased on the other side because i've always drawn well, but it seems like people with technical skill are fucking everywhere, and people with mediocre skill but some interesting themes/style are also everywhere, so seeing people with neither get popular is baffling.

No. 272022

the fundamental thing is who they market to and what.
in the case of baylee, it's, what. cute shit and fan art? it's bland and generic enough to garner a following of kids and adults with no taste… also consider the timing. she was one of the first art youtubers. so if anything, she got lucky, although by the looks of her thread it seems she's getting past her expiration date and is becoming stale…
can't speak for any other artist but it's usually because they've had time to develop a following of asspatters and aspiring art novices who look up to them just because they think they're sharing good advice or tutorials.

No. 272024

same anon, but it's youtubers like those who are way more involved in their social media than the development of their actual art.
people actually skilled in, and making art, don't tend to carve out as much time to cultivate a following faster than the ones who do because they're too busy making art so they either are never seen as much or are slow growers in that regard. that goes double if they arent making fan art.

The smart art box for this month was honestly ass compared to previous months. Even the frugal crafter (who is far older than many youtubers) had difficulty with it. The products themselves aren't bad individually but they don't go well together. Sure they're a small company and all but perhaps they should reduce the level of promise if it is difficult to meet.

You can mix brown with the three primaries but those markers are not meant for just mixing, not to mention, they don't include anything to mix on if they wanted people to mix the colors together. If you just lay down the marker it doesnt dissolve well with the gamsol, there is nothing to mix or let the markers run onto if you're supposed to mix them like paints, and there is just one canvas and this tiny brush for the canvas.

Also if you look at her other work, and not just this one video, she really is not that bad, that last Rapunzel drawing is kind of a terrible image compared to the 4th one, but not indicative of her art as a whole, she's got much better stuff. She can still improve (a lot), but she's not a terrible artist and you can tell she's obviously not at the level as when she drew that first one.

Certainly not being limited by one single Master.

And while constructive drawing is something extremely important to keep in mind, it can become intuitive as you practice. If you take a look at some pros drawing, they are frequently experienced enough to know not to be slaves to the process, but adapt it to their own needs. Or are you going to say Kim Jung Gi is a shitty artist for starting his drawings at random spots without putting down any construction lines?
You dragged Waffles for not starting a drawing in a "construction route", but construction is more of a guideline instead of an obligation. In fact, being too much of a slave to construction can result in very stiff drawings.

No. 274505

agreed, they get really stiff like that if you're always using the construction method. i find it useful sometimes, but at other times it just leads to something very boring. art can also be more fun than just "wah wah muh fundamentals" it's good to draw outside of the lines, pun intended

It is scribbled linework, which I guess is an issue and something she should work on, but it's not a big deal for sketching and not something I'd call her a bad artist for. Even the best artists have a ton of bullshit sketches with terrible technique in their sketchbooks. It's the one place people tend to go hog wild and not care about the final outcome. It's only really an issue when trying to pass something off as finished, which I don't think she's trying to do
Plus, quite frankly, if she wanted to do nothing but scribble senseless lines that don't even resemble anything on every single page of her expensive sketchbook, that's her prerogative. That's such a weird thing to complain about. Sketchbooks are maybe the one thing you can't really use wrong.

No. 274514

I agree with you, no one should be a slave to a master. I mentioned bridgeman as an example. Chicken scratching and outlining though, especially when looking at a reference, that’s just copying the angles and lines you see in front of you. The best way to actually understand the form is to draw through it.

To me it depends on how they do it, and also how interesting they are overall. If it's something borderline unrelated mentioned at the start of the video it bugs me more. The Skillshare ones don't bother me because I think they actually push some Youtubers out of a comfort zone and into doing something different sometimes.

I found the need to describe himself as "a pro" on the title weird

The arrogance in this one is disgusting

The original is so much better. Right off the bat he says one legitimate critique, that the eyes look too close together, but that’s obvioisly due to the nose bridge part being too thin. Rather than fixing the skull he goes straight to adding all these special lighting effects to the eye sockets which were not intended in the original…

… it's a clip of a livestream where a professional ("pro") artist reviews portfolios that have been submitted to him. I don't see how this is cuntish or arrogant at all. He was just honestly giving a critique. Nobody says you have to agree with everything a reviewer suggests, but it's nice to get the perspective of somebody in the industry.

Just because someone is “in the industry” doesn’t mean their advice is worthwhile. Art skill doesn’t equate with art fame, these threads should be proof enough of that. Seriously he give the skull a damn dreamworks angry/raised brow face.

If you're someone who wants to get into the industry, then yes, it kind of is. He paints magic the gathering cards for a living. Have you looked at his work? He isn't all fame and no talent. https://www.artstation.com/clintcearley

The people asking for his advice seem to think it's worthwhile. Just because you personally don't like his suggestions doesn't mean they are bad. He gave the skull a more expressive look, because in his opinion, telling a story was more important than perfect anatomy. His "paintover" was more of a quick, "maybe you could try x, y, z", while showing what he meant. The title is a little misleading, but I chalk that up to clickbait. Also (after having watched a few more of his videos) he seems socially awkward, which may be why he comes across as "cunty" to some people.

I'm the anon who originally posted this, and I wasn't criticizing his paintover per se, I do like it more than the original, but I thought the title was of bad taste. Especially because if you're relevant enough, all it takes it adding your name to the title. Just saying "a pro" sounds pretty tacky. Like if/when someone titles a video self describing as a "pretty girl" or whatever. Doesn't matter if it's true, it sounds pushy.

I’m irritated. I bought two things from Omocat, and first didn’t hear anything back for almost 3 weeks before I emailed to ask what the fuck happened only to be told they had run out of stock (immediately, and I guess just didn’t want to fucking say anything?) Okay fine, agree to wait for next shipment of items. Finally get an update saying they’ve sent everything out and get package today. Only… one of the two things I bought isn’t in here. I think her art’s cute but I’m not dealing with this shit again

Yeah while Butch seems to be literally like one of his own characters, in a bad way, the monetized videos trying to make out that making a Christian channel is the worst possible thing are just ironic. And begging for money themselves, to boot. Nothing like criticizing something you yourself are doing. And assuming because it's Christian means it's gonna be aggressively homophobic is a stretch. (Twisted didnte say this but others did)
Like, he's a bit of an ass but he has not made homophobic content to date. I actually like most of what Twisted said but that video sent me on a path watching other Youtuber's tryna make money from this thing and YEAH

No. 276401

Beyond not saying there were going to be some Christian shows from the get go, and his criticism video (which I get if it's targeted towards pieguyrulz and the alpha jay show) Butch seems like a pretty cool dude.

Yeah! I just found their videos a few days ago! There pretty good and helpful. Even relaxing and relieving sometimes.

Butch is a socially retarded has-been who is going down the hole of overestimating his fanbase whilst on the pursuit of ressurecting his carreer. Seriously I loved some of Hartmans shows but the moment he came out the woodworks it was a clear #cancel.

Jesus fucking christ! I could bearly make it a few minutes into the video! She is Definatley one of those fakeass Christian "i love jesus so much and YOU too teehee im an angel of god can do no wrong" types.

Lowkey blogpost:
In high school I used to go to a school full of kids like her. Teenagers that "didnt" cuss, or think bad thoughts, they also tried to ALWAYS be postive, go to church/kingdom hall all the time, lowkey out of touch with the current times, ect. Anyway, being around them all the time made made me become a subtle bully for a year(the time i was there). I couldnt help but want to tease them (or at least tell them to stfu and stop bullshitting ALL the time. ) i was always irratated constantly and would never want to go to class.

Anyway,i knew a guy who acted JUST LIKE THIS BITCH aka super postive, never cursed, loved jesus ect ect, and turns out he had anger management problems/psychopathic. All his close friends were weird and into loli hentai and overly violent video games (he himself took screenshots of some weird ass torturing shit too). So yeah, in short people like her are the most fucked up people ever and they hide it behind a fake overly sweet/cutsey persona.

Sorry about the rant/blogpost but I had to say something Becuase this people trigger me.

Some forms of any religion definitely take on a cultists quality. American Christians have always felt this way to me. Brain washing your children to believe science is fake is baffling to me, but I am not American originally so perhaps it is cultural.

I like her commentary, but I don’t watch realism speed paints on yt anymore. If you’ve seen one you’ve kinda seen em all, especially if there’s no distinct style. I used to be real impressed with that stuff in college but now I’m interested in storytelling and stuff drawn from the imagination. Just wish the illustrators on yt were as professional as the realism painters.

I like her a lot. I do find she tends to just copy photos, which imo is a bit boring. It takes a lot of skill, but I'm a bit of the opinion that if I can just take a photo of it, why bother having it with all the extra work of painting. Doesn't make her a bad artist, that's mostly just my preference. And she has been working on painting from life and taking a more creative approach so it's not like this isn't something she's aware of.

Ok I'm aware of how salty this is but I also want to know what other anons think.

So I keep stumbling upon into these tweets and started getting salty when one of my favorite drag queens (the one the account is dedicated to) started retweeting, liking and following this account, but whatever, it's a fan account so no biggie. But then I saw the pinned tweet I was like bitch what?

What's up with some hella expensive art schools accepting low-tiered to mediocre artists? I knew two people from my high school that got accepted into SCAD. I've seen their drawings and they still don't have the fundamentals down and lack originality.

They probably got accepted because they’re paying the full tuition. I also know someone who got accepted/transferred to SCAD and it didn’t look like they could draw all. We had a class with presentations and they wanted to hand draw a bunch of theirs, but it was all chickenscratch and lopsided circles.

I like Subjectively, but one of their artists (Nick) draws like an eight year old and it drives me nuts. Feels like they just have him on the channel because he's their friend. They really need to replace him.

Video related is their post popular one. It's a great example of how Nick can't draw- just compare his drawing to the other two.
