I mean, I kind of agree with her here. A lot of "cringe" compilations are taking things from people who are obviously children and making fun of them. Like, yeah, this 13-year-old has shit art/animation with totally embarassing edgy OCs that are obvious knockoffs of other characters. of course they do, most 13yos do crap like that. That sort of shit though can make kids totally give up out of embarassment.

Mind you if you're an adult it's kind of free game. You're hopefully at that point mature enough that if someone makes fun of you for cringey art it's not going to deter you from making art or doing whatever it is you do.

Can’t really disagree with you there, but constructive criticism is a hell of a lot more helpful for young artists than just mocking their art and pointing out the flaws without saying how they could fix them.

No. 278102

A lot of actually good artists on youtube don't get much views compared to the subpar ones. I think I have found the reasons for it:
1) Set up. Seriously. Most technically good artist have terrible setups. Their cameras aren't adjusted properly and everything looks skewed. They also have bad lighting.
2) commentary. They just either don't talk or mumble. Some of them use really cringy music that has nothing to do with what they are doing.
3) graphics and visuals. They use out dated typefaces with really opaque colors that just don't work. Their title cards are also bland and uninspiring.
As much as I don't like some of the "artists" that's been discussed here. They do know how to make something look good. What do you guys think?

No. 278115

>>278102
I totally agree. I genuinely enjoy watching actaully good (real) artist, but what kills me is their setup/audio/qaulity of the video in general. WhytManga,AlphansoDunn ect ect are examples of that to me at least. The bad editing and shit can really turn someone off from watching an otherwise good video.

I would add in, that alot of really good artist dont have enough content in general, half the time they will have 2-7 videos at maximum. But my theory is that they dont have time to focus all that energy into editing/setting up the video becuase they are actaully trying to improve their art work and skills. Versus morons like Rae,Kasey,Holly,Waffles,(Jazza oops) just throw out shitty art work with no depth or improvement. In order to compensate they have to make their videos sound/look decent to catch the viewers attention long enough. Also they have to have exceptional /not in the good way/ personalities and jump on bandwagons at any chance in order to stay relevant. People who actaully have skill dont feel the need to be fake and flashy because they are too focused on more important things.
It should be noted that many people on Youtube have tiny attention spans and most of these peoples fans are 10-16 year olds. And even dumbass 20 year olds, but regardless they usally dont have the maturity to sift through whos actaully good and whos faking it.

No. 278119

>>278115
>>278102
I agree with both
another thing I think that keeps people from viewing those videos is that the art can be intimidating. Watching someone draw the same dinsey girl over and over again is more comfortable for a new and young artist. Unlike seeing a highly skilled professional that is constantly improving.

No. 278219

I know that the money from sponsorships (which can’t honestly be much, but hey, it’s money) helps out struggling artists, but god am I tired of seeing the same old ads across several channels. Even if they change it up slightly and try to sound enthused, it’s obvious that they don’t even use the sponsored site/app in their free time. Even the constant Arteza product reviews didn’t bother me because at least the artists weren’t under paid contract to state good things about them. What are your guys’ thoughts about them?

No. 278228

>>278219
I only get annoyed by amino adds, which aren't even that common. It's such a shit app, like you said, I doubt anyone who is sponsored uses it.

No. 278281

>>278219
I don't mind them as long as they are at the end of the video. Some of my favourite channels like "lessons from the screen play" and "babish" get sponsored by companies like "square space" and "skillshare" but hey have the add part at the end. I don't get why artubers put them at the beginning or middle of the video. It's boring and ruins the momentum of the video.

No. 278284

I guess the ads that bug me the most are the ones where the people are trying to mix it into the video, save some special cases. Skillshare is one I don't really mind because it gets Youtubers doing some interesting stuff, like bookbinding or stamp making. I suppose that's my craft side speaking up. When it's stuff like amino or phone apps I can just skip them and get to the actual good stuff.

Jacqueline Deleon is someone who overdoes it, we don't need every video to tell us there's a platform for making your own website. But to be honest, I don't think I'd mind it if it was someone more interesting… Jacqueline just gives me too much of a dead fish vibe. I guess one could say she's going for "chill vibes", but her lack of an interesting personality paired with her drawing the same alternative girls every time gets… tiresome.
I feel kinda bad for coming at her since she seems so uncow-ish, tho.

I don't think you should feel bad about it. She seems like the person who wouldn't be able to handle critique. That's always the case with artists who always draw the same thing in the same style and never improve.

meh, I kinda agree, but if it makes them happy, it’s whatever. It’d be great to see some artists who do the same thing over and over actually improve and experiment outside of their comfort zone though. The thing that really makes artists who never improve annoying is if they also have a shitty attitude/personality. (cough baylee jae cough) We can mock 13 yr olds on deviantart drawing shitty furry oc’s all we want, but i’d take seeing one of those kids’ art over “Youtube Superstar” Baylee Jae’s or HC BRown’s any day.

No. 278578

>>278433 maybe unpopular opinion, but i really enjoy her art style (especially how she draws eyes). yes they're very same facey and obviously very self indulgent, but i think its a cute style. i just wish she'd branch out from her typical alternative pierced/tattoo'd girl with short bangs. i do agree she has a very boring personality though. i cant sit through her videos for too long unless i have the sound off and im listening to my own music.

Going through her portfolio she has some decently cute stuff but looking at her work as a whole makes a majority of her illustrations seem bland. She has a lot of inconsistencies with her anatomy, especially when drawing faces >>278433

She's definitely not a terrible artist, she just needs to work on her fundamentals more. Even if she kept the same style/subject matter her stuff would improve tenfold.

No. 278606

>>278591
I don't think her biggest problem is her fundamentals. What bothers me the most about her is lack of creativity. Of course we should always be striving to improve our fundamentals, but it seems like this whole "fundamentals" ordeal has become sort of a parrot thing in these threads. She's not perfect, but she already manages to make some pictures that are pleasant to look at.

Her art just seems extremely one dimensional to me when it comes to subjects, but that seems to be a problem she has herself, her personality also seems pretty one dimensional. I know we can't really tell how someone is through the content they put up on the internet, but most people start being a little shy on Youtube and then branch out. She's still very monotone and uneventful.

No. 278614

This. Even if she had amazing anatomy, varied up the hairstyles and outfits, it’s just more of the same beautiful dress up doll. There’s never a story or a meaning to it, and that really turns me off.

No. 278705

Yeah, I don't mind the characters following the same patterns if they were actually doing something. Sameface doesn't bug me much, nor does drawing several characters with similar clothes, but do all of them have to be sitting there with that slightly open mouth and squinched eyes?

No. 278741

Let's talk about pearfleur. I'm personally a big fan of her, from her instagram you can tell that she strives to improve her art for herself rather than making pointless youtube videos and has been really active lately. I get that she's done sponspored videos before but its not like artists like her and minniesmalls should be put down for trying to earn money like we all want to. plus she's a student so i'm sure she needs it. her style is unique and fresh and doesnt really abide to trends that ive seen and her art is strangely nostalgic and calming. i love the collab she did with iraville and wish she would post more full pieces though. She's also said from her instagram that she's a full time architecture student and is 20 years old which is pretty inspiring and the fact that she doesn't center her whole youtube around her personal life and face like Baylee makes her seem more humble and down to earth. but i will say that she said on instagram that she doesnt sell art or prints because she's not confident in her style or knowledgeable in how to go about doing it so she should really learn how to market herself better.

No. 278742

>>278591
is this the "decently cute" thing? she has the same fucking red nose freckled for no reason face as all the girls in >>278433.

the biggest issue isn't the anatomy but more what >>278606 said. looking at the pic you posted, it's clear that she had to put in extra details to make sure people knew that this was sailormoon. if you get rid of the hair, compact and luna's forehead decoration, you'd never guess that's what this was supposed to be. the worst thing is that it would be better and have more depth if this was just some random NEET OC girl.

also, nothing's interacting with eachother properly. anatomy aside, but the weirdest part is usagi's hair. the plate is floating under her hair and it just takes away the look of interaction in general. it's just weird and sloppy. coupled with sameface and bad anatomy it's all bad.

No. 278745

>>278741
i like pear too. seems a lot more authentic than most art youtubers and is obviously talented to be juggling a 350k+ youtube channel with architecture school at 20 yrs old. i guess that also explains her long absences and hiatuses

No. 278761

>>278741
I follow her for the reviews, her purely art videos can get a little boring to me. I like the fact that she experiments, but at the same time some of the experiments are a bit too abstract for my own personal taste.

I don't think she really has to market herself if she doesn't want to, if being an artist is not a professional interest of hers, dealing with the side hassles of being a professional artist might just suck the fun out of it for her.

No. 278768

They all look so damn bored, kinda listless, and I think that really projects onto all her designs. She kind of looks the same way IRL or when she's speaking into the camera, it's kind of monotone. same girl. Same face. Same expression.
I'd like to see some stories from her, not just 'pretty witch girls'….but people like consistency and if there's anything you can't say she isn't, is consistent, and a lot of her followers like that I guess.

Uh no? The school uniform is also a giveaway.
True that the artist has a sameface syndrome but you are really nitpicking the Sailor Moon drawing.
Of course if she drew her without her hair and uniform she would look like a random character or any other sailor (like Venus). The girls in SM suffer from sameface syndrome too.
I disagree that Luna and the compact are put there to make it clear it's Usagi as it's obvious from the way the character looks. They are just part of Usagi's world displayed in the picture.

I think this is a nice fanart though I've seen the concept a few times and agree that a pic with original character in this style would be interesting.

I also dislike artists just drawing pretty characters without deeper concept but this fanart is fine in my eyes.

Doesn't it get a lot of popularity among weebs because it's used on some mangas and stuff?

The problem with these artists is that they only want to draw pretty/cute things, but doing that just makes them improve more slowly and it takes away artistic value from their work.
For example: you are trying to draw a pretty girl. In order to keep her looking pretty she has to be young, which means there won't be much detail (wrinkles) on her face and also you limit her expression (she has to have a neutral face so there won't be any wrinkles on her face or god forbid nasolabial folds), her pose, and the lighting (shadows all over the face are not cute!!) and then you end up with a boring generic drawing. But really a drawing of an ugly orc with his face wrinkled in anger and with lights and shadows playing on his face (which help portray volume) has so much more artistic value and is interesting to look at because its shows the artist's various skills. With a drawing of a pretty girl looking blankly at the camera/into the distance you show only knowledge of anatomy. If that.
There is a reason you rarely have pretty youthful models at life drawing classes. Also pic related is a drawing by Even Mehl Amundsen

As someone who used to draw, drawing and painting “pretty girls” is easier and faster. Especially for the YT artists, cause they need to pump up videos to stay relevant.
I honestly don’t like just drawing pretty girls, but it is the only thing I can do easily without effort. Sometimes I draw them to warm up for complicated drawings

No. 280691

Drawing pretty girls is what 12 year olds start out with and what adults keep doing if they've given up on studying how to draw people in general. It's the anime artist syndrome. Old people just have lines next to their eyes but they look the exact same as everyone else. It looks ridiculous.

No. 280696

Not trying to be the devil’s advocate but some people just prefer to draw nice looking things, I wouldn’t exactly call that a crutch. Guys like space marines and fantasy races, girls like women and flowers. Artists of both genders have been making more illustrations and paintings of women’s bodies for centuries.

YouTube artist here - yep this. Pretty girls are easy for me to draw and I can get it done on time for a video. I don't have to think as much, I can still make something nice, and it's accessible to my audience. I want more time to draw non pretty girl things, but it's definitely tough. I've got a lot of ideas but not enough time to get them all done, especially since with more detailed work it takes much longer, so I'm also having to film multiple videos at a time when I do that. Also I don't know about other YouTubers but I definitely doodle and experiment a lot more on my own, but I rarely show that because it's pretty ugly.

I wouldn't say it's easy for them just because young pretty girls don't have a lot of wrinkles and stuff. Part of why it's easy for them is simply because that's what they spend more time drawing. It's their comfort zone.
I used to find it easier to draw people I considered "ugly" because I didn't have to mind where I was putting things as much, meanwhile if I wanted to draw a perfectly pretty girl I had to be very careful about not having anything out of place.

Anywyas, the "problem" is not them only wanting to draw pretty things, it's them wanting to stay inside a small comfort zone of their borderline childish taste. And that's not even a problem, if they enjoy doing it and it fits their artistic needs. You can do much more sophisticated pieces of beautiful people, such as Karla Ortiz' piece I've added to my post.

The issue is when artists are young they like to draw either their ocs or their ships or just their favorite Disney/shoujo characters ext, many of which have a bland generic look (mostly pretty girls) and they get good at that and get attention/compliments so they like…think they've made it. At 16. And then they never draw anything else just learn to watercolor/render their sues/favs with bland Barbie expressions looking into the distance or at the camera.

I'd argue that it is a crutch because some of them rely on pretty things to produce pretty drawings. Even then some of them still fail. I believe that a good artist has the capacity to make any subject matter beautiful.

On a side note, I feel like some artists jump in to youtube too soon and get sucked in. It creates a situation where if they make it, they start to neglect their artistic development or worse think they're better than they are. It really is a shame. Art is not easy and it definitely is a humbling experience.

I’d argue it’s not the subject matter that’s important but the theme and story of a piece that makes it interesting.

As far as I know she hasn’t been mentioned once in these boards.
Claiming to be a “life coach” seems a little bit like an overstep imo. She recently deleted a video where she kinda tried and failed to make a point about loving trump despite disagreeing with him politically.
I love that she’s sharing her story and her feelings but she made a claim that really rubbed me the wrong way in this video, where she says basically, “thanks to the people on my discord, who feel their mental health is worth $3”. Really scammy and arrogant way of putting it as she’s not exactly a mental health professional.

I agree that anon was reaching and some people just parrot the term around, but there are some characteristics that loosely group a few people together as adepts of the "tumblr" style. To me, it's the following:
Picture an artist. It's a college aged person who either is a part of or sympathizes with the LGBT community. It's an animation student or enthusiast, and its biggest influences are Disney, Cartoon Network shows (they used to draw those Adventure Time noodly arms, but now they gravitate more towards Steven Universe noses) and Anime. Probably owned some Nintendo console and are inclined to be part of a fandom. They make sure to include POC and or LGBT characters on what they do, even if they are making fanart and it makes absolutely no sense to turn those characters into minorities. Their version of alternative girls are those basic witches with micro bangs and some sort of generic tomboy lesbian. Oh, and let's not forget the inclination to draw obese people (almost exclusively women) as something beautiful.

Representation is a whole other bag of worms to dive into anyways, although i would argue that it’s better to try to properly represent diversity without stereotypes if that’s what you want to do instead of just making something diverse for the sake of it.

Basically she posted a genderbent fanart of the characters of the videogame Dream Daddy. One of them, Damien, is canonically a trans man, and some people claimed it was transphobic. I think she got harassed to the point where she considered leaving social media

This. When I think of Tim Burton's style, one of the first things that come to my mind are his recurring themes of gothic/creepy themes. When I think of Loish, I think of pretty girls. Constant themes do indeed become part of someone's style.

No. 284185

>>283978
Are you this dense or just exaggerating on purpose? Drawing recurring themes is PART of someone's art style. Your argument is like taking someone saying your heart is part of your body and you distorting it into saying your hear IS your body. Your style is comprised by several things knitted together into your own personal thing, and implying the tendency to draw SJW themes is part of someone's style is not to say it's ALL the style is about.

Holy hell, anon, I didn't know being an liking Nintendo made you "tumblr". None of these are an art style or aesthetic. Just proves my point that it's code for "I don't like it."

No. 284194

Exactly. The "tumblr style" isn't necessarily a visual style per se, but it's a recurring theme in the art pieces. Nonbinary transsexual fat lesbians with undercuts, non-conventional beauty and surface-level ugliness (like the vitiligo trend some years ago and stretch marks), racebending, everything about the art trying its damnest to make some sort of an aggressive sociopolitical stand with overused tropes and thinking it's more intelligent and artistic than it really is.

This is another reason why I hate it when people say "try different styles" meaning that someone should just rip off another artist's drawing/painting style. If you really want to exit your comfort zone, draw something with a theme you haven't experimented with before.

Are you implying that I only disagree with you because I feel personally attacked?

Art that gets labeled "tumblr" is wildly varying levels of quality, so I can't say if I like it or not. Drawing intentionally ugly slanty-eyed Sailor Moon fanart that ends up looking like a racist caricature is one thing, but it seems like some people just start shaking every time they see a drawing of a fat person or someone with a red nose.

That's what you've been doing all the times you say we're grouping it together because we don't like it, so I see no reason to complain.
I ask because sometimes we get a blind spot for things we like. Same way if we don't like it, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Indeed, I myself pay attention to the "tumblr style" things because I personally hate it, so the patterns stick out more to me. Not saying you can't notice things if you don't feel some type of way about it, tho.

Yea I’m gonna be judgemental of pretty much any portrait of a fat person, or a portrait with a red nose, if it isn’t executed well with a good reason for why the person is fat or why the nose is red. If the fatness is part of the character development, and not just “body positivity!” Then it’s not “tumblr” to me. If the nose is red because it’s cold, it’s not “tumblr” to me. Intention is everything, and more seasoned artists/art collectors will be able to see if the intention was to tell a story, or just a trendy afterthought added to a doodle to get more likes.

The funniest part of the people complaining about Tumblr art style on YouTube is that none of them can draw. Tumblr has plenty of issues and is mind numbly toxic but it's one of like three major social media networks for artists.

Anyway, anyone else feels like SuperRaeDizzle is pandering so hard to the beauty community? I saw her comments on “beauty drama channels” multiple times.

Drawing with long fake nails: https://youtu.be/gsSfWvM7CCk

Drawing Jeffree Star (another famous influencer) with makeup: https://youtu.be/79pjFDZX0fk

And generally her “art/beauty related” videos are copied from beauty trends that have been done for years. Like following someone else’s tutorial, making her boyfriend follow her tutorial, reading mean comments, make her pet picks her art supplies, a compilation video of her doing stupid shit… etc

I have been following the Beauty community ever since Michelle Phan was doing her cosplay makeup, so I can tell where she got her videos ideas from and from whom.

Waffles annoyed me in her latest video. It was a paletteful box with four Qor watercolor tubes.

I'm not going to suggest we just ignore everything bad about someone because they have an illness, but I honestly don't like bashing Waffles because of it. I wouldn't be so kind if she was an asshole, but she seems very uncow-ish, the only things people usually talk about her are some annoying traits and art related stuff. I would assume having one of those big illnesses can shift your priorities around really fast, and I doubt having excellent anatomy would be one of hers (understandably). She probably just wants to have fun with art and I can honestly respect that.

>imo not every youtube artist has to be trying to learn anatomy and backgrounds and details 100% of the time. sometimes art is just supposed to be fun.
Exactly what I was thinking as well. There seems to be some sort of assumption that everyone on art Youtube wants to be a top tier professional, which is simply not true. Even if Youtube is their job, that doesn't really put them on the exact same lane as professional artists. They are entertainers, and the same way people can make money out of eating food on camera and plenty other mundane tasks, some people also manage to make some coins out of their hobby.

No. 287677

>>287670

im inclined to agree. The worst people have really said about waffles is that her laugh and voice is nasally and her sketching is chicken scratch-y. She pushes herself to be better and recognizes her faults in artwork and when she isn't confident or sure of something like with the palletbox unboxing. she admitted that the box felt like but she wasn't sure about the price of the Qor watercolors and went to check and didn't complain or fault the box for "feeling" light after checking the prices of the watercolors. She doesn't try to act like she knows more or better like holly, not an edgelord like Spechie and actually does art and tries to improve unlike Baylee.

tl;dr: Waffles has her faults cause no one is perfect but she doesn't seem like a cow and her only two flaws people point out is her voice and sketching. Sketching can be fixed but you can't fix a voice which seems unfair to nitpick someone over.

Can anyone explain to me what chicken scratch sketching is? I understand that it's hairy lines or a mess of short, uneven lines but I don't see it in waffle's video. There are a few stray lines here and there but I thought that was common of sketching in general since it will have messy lines compared to a finished piece or a finished lineart. Is having a messy or non clean sketch considered chicken scratch-y or is there something more I'm missing?

No. 287693

>>287689
"Chicken scratch" are those broken off sorta hairy looking lines people who are not very confident in their lines make.
Which sounds completely reasonable and acceptable coming from someone who has tremors (and hers are not even that chicken scratchy, she's just sort of a messy sketcher).

No. 287711

>>287693

Exactly this. People keep claiming her sketches are chicken scratch but they aren't. Most of her lines are fluid and have form, unlike actual chicken scratch which is tiny clearly unsure lines badly connecting to form a shape.

No. 287780

But I’m looking at the thumbnail for that video, and her little chibi has smooth, fluid, non chicken scratchy lines. I don’t think it’s her illness but rather laziness. If she has the ability to do smooth lineart why can’t she sketch this way? It’s way more efficient and doesn’t look as messy imo.

I think waffles is possibly the most uncreative arttuber, and her lack of original characters is evidence of this. Recently she decided to reach out to her audience to “design a character together” a la drawing with jazza and I think it’s just a big waste of time. I’m interested in an artist with a story to tell or something personal to share, not someone who just whores out their drawing abilities to create some rando character for the most views and subs.

I get the feeling most of you guys talk from your ass. They’re sketchy lines, not chicken scratch. Have you ever seen chicken scratches in your life? If not go watch HCBRown’s sketches.
She’s not good anatomy wise and she placed all the muscles wrong because instead of studying them and their placement she improvised, BUT it’s not as terrible as other yters, and the line quality is messy in a pleasant way.
I might be the odd one here but I always love seeing roughs.

No. 287818

Eh, this whole conversation got me like "meeeh". Waffles is alright, not good not bad. I think she TRIES and genuinely wants to get better, but at the same time she always draws the same things to the point it appears as if she DOESN'T try. Example: The male anatomy video. She BEARLY followed the reference and seemed like she put 60% effort in. It does come off as lazy and thats why many anons couldnt stand watching it.

Her sketches are borderline chicken scratchy. They aren't neat at all and ffs she sketches wayyyy to dark (imo). But i think its more of a confidence thing, usually when artist sketch dark and messy its more of a mental/beginners thing. They arnt Holly BRown level tho, so again she's okay.

No. 287826

I don't think sketches, unless you are finalizing them, are intended or meant to be neat. It isn't borderline chicken scratch to have messy sketches.

I’m not sure if “chicken skratch” is the problem so much as lack of skill. Sketchiness looks great when there is knowledge of the form, because those initial lines are put down as a sort of guideline or map, and not as a wild guess at the final line that is to be to be refined and refined after several versions. There’s no one “correct” way to draw but fewer, more thought out lines lines will always be more efficient than many wild guesses in my book.

They’re just a way for artists to better visualise their ideas so they can then refine them in later sketches. Most of the ‘sketches’ you see on IG are very lazy finished illustrations. Another thing about sketches is that they’re supposed to be QUICKLY rendered so of course they’re going to more often look messy rather than tidy! jfc you guys can be utter speds

No. 288212

lol people not being able to get the drawing they envision done with perfect minimal lines?? outrageous, how dare they press that pencil to the paper more times than absolutely necessary!

sketches are sketches, not final pieces. end of story. this reminds me of that time when ppl would complain (mostly on sketch tour videos) about an artist not doing many finished drawings or pieces in their sketchbook; like what? that’s the whole purpose of it buddy.

No. 288357

>>288212
Exactly people who just enjoy artubers and IG artists as entertainment are apparently under the impression that sketch books are for finished marker/ink/watercolor pieces instead of actual sketching. Those artists purposely finish their pieces for the internet. In fact a lot of stagnant ones might wanna consider taking more time actually sketching and studying like Waffles is if they want to improve.

Here's an observation:
I've noticed there are a bunch of Romanian or German artists who are really popular on IG or Youtube, and a lot of their stuff, while not the same,all looks very similar? I often get their art confused unless it really stands out. Has anyone else noticed this? Is their art some sort of unspoken social media standard? Like, what is going on.

Probably not that much of a difference. To get traffic you gotta put interacting and socializing on social media as your top priority, even before your art.

Typically artists only burnish at the very final layer, after building up layers and layers with soft circular strokes.

Maybe it's just the way I've seen popular artists use them, but Copics just seem impractical to me, at least nowadays. I get they're used for design, drafts or coloring, but it's not anything really special and nothing you couldn't achieve with another medium.

I could be wrong though I guess I'm biased, and it boils down to preference.

No. 289947

>>289942
i don’t get it much either, but i think some of the big selling points are the vast amount of colors and the fact that they’re refillable. (as well as having like 4 different marker types) yes, you could achieve similar or almost identical results with watercolor, other alcohol markers, etc. but it is very appealing to some to have the ease of a marker. (even if it is expensive af)

No. 289966

>>289947 aso that they are markers so that means they have a color range you can later match with a fabric, as for watercolor you are left guessing a lot more

No. 290160

>>289942

I would say that there are some things with copics you couldn't achieve with other mediums simply due to the quality of alcohol markers. After all, there is a reason why they are different than say watercolor or colored pencils. Digitally, you can recreate the look of copics but you can recreate the look of just about anything digitally.

Traditionally, markers are used because of their vibrant colors without having to layer a lot like watercolors or colored pencils, quick drying and are dry near instantly after putting it onto the paper unless you put down a lot of ink and don't have a period of time where they have to dry like watercolors, etc.

I have the Pure Pigment set and I love them. Not only are the paints very nice, but they are pretty affordable if you consider the quality and quantity of paint you're getting, as they come in 15ml tubes. The brand seems to pay attention to the more classic conventions of watercolors, like being aware that White and Black are not as widely used and including smaller tubes of those colors as sort of an extra to their other colors. It's very easy to find pigment information, and the overall product just feels like it was well thought out. Even the cardboard box the tubes come in feels very nice and sturdy. Pardon for my stan essay, but I really do enjoy those paints very much.

No. 294932

>>294870
My only problem with them is that they use bizarre pigment mixes to make their paints more vibrant so the lightfastness is effected negatively. The pure pigment set doesn’t have that problem obviously. But their raw sienna is far more vibrant than other raw siennas because they aren’t using the traditional pigment used for raw sienna. They just use different ones to make them more vibrant. It’s weird and I mix a lot so I usually go with brands that focus on single pigments for the majority of their colors. That being said they are really good quality and I enjoy them. I also own their White Class paints which are fun to use. It just bothers me that I can’t use the ultramarine in that set because they didn’t use the ultramarine pigment for it. So it’s not even lightfast. If you don’t care about that though there’s zero reason not to use them.

They're unappealing because the drawing itself is, not necessarily because her facial features are not perfect.

That's why I'm always interested as to what exactly they mean when they say things like "they need to study more" or "fundamentals", because it feels like some of those just became staple shit people are throwing at the Youtubers they dislike, rather than some properly thought out critique. Yes, everyone has things they can get better at, but when they're just leaving vague remarks it just makes their own comments seem irrelevant.

No. 295523

Look I don't hate Waffles but y'all are practically white knighting at this point because yes the nose and mouth are too low and it's unsettling to look at as a result. Nothing terrible and she is a good artist but don't jump on people for pointing out obvious flaws.

No. 295524

>>295508
I agree that they are unappealing sometimes, but at the same time I'm aware that ugly people exist, so her drawings don't strike me as something unthinkable.
Her shading just seems like it comes from some sort of ambient light, albeit maybe not something given direct thought. I just think people's problems are in their expectations rather than the Youtubers, I mean, why the hell do you expect people whose intentions seem to be drawing for fun to be excellent at anything? It just seems like you're giving yourself grievances over nothing. Just cut the cord and stop watching them if you know it won't satisfy you.

No. 295525

We defend Waffles because most things people talk about her are extremely nitpicky for no reason whatsoever. Seems like people have turned the artist threads into some nitpicking braindump rather than pointing out some actual milk, maybe because the art community tends to be so scarce on milk (and the ones who are constantly milky have gotten their own threads).
Seems like some people here get annoyed at others for merely existing, and as suggested, just stop watching them if their art doesn't please you. That ain't something to write home about.

No. 295551

>>295525
I do agree Waffles isn't milky and she only seems to show up here when things are slow with potential cows. But still if someone does post her and others point out problems with the art, defending her blindly isn't really helpful. The nose and the eyes appear to be from a downward view while the face is completely forward. It's just a mistake. It has nothing to do with her drawing various face types. I don't think the girl she drew is ugly, she just looks off because her down turned nose is fusing with the top of her lip. Still think the hair looks good and Waffles is talented.

No. 295553

>>295551

I agree. The face looks a tad off but not obviously so. while blind defense isn't helpful, neither is really pointing out something so relatively minor, especially considering like the other anon said, waffles only pops up because there isn't any milk for the other artist since they got their own threads. Plus, sometimes the criticisms of waffles seems to come from a place of just needing to criticize someone rather than somethign actually being wrong, i.e when an anon had called her sketches chicken scratch-y even though they're made of fluid and relatively solid lines.

No. 295575

I know everyone is gonna come at me for this… but i think people are honestly white knighting Waffles because she has an illness and she is a decent person. Because lets be honest here if Rae, Kasey, Lemia did the exact same drawing everyone would be all in agreeance that it looks uncanny and bizzare. Waffles is an alright artist, I wouldnt say she is great but she is decent definatley. It would HELP if she worked (studied) on better facial anatomy, so that she can style her drawings correctly. It would aid her alot. People pointing out ACTAUL flaws is not nitpicking.

In my OWN opinion, the mouth and nose are too close together for comfort. A more obvious light source would be nice (but the shading is nice regardless) and I think the irises are uneven… I think thats whats doing it in honestly. But otherwise it its a pleasant piece.

No. 295581

>>295553
The mistakes are only subtle to an artist below waffles skill level. Imo that’s why we see so many white knighting here. She’s not a good person, her drawings just look like your drawings and sorry friend but they’re not good. This sketch in particular is very obviously bad, and the milky thing about it is that she just still can’t get better at the simplest stuff after all these years. I’ve always seen specific criticism towards her on these boards, not just “fundamentals” but actual terms like lighting, perspective, and structure. Sure it might be nitpicking if this was a high school art class, but this is waffles job, no one here has the right to tell me my expectations should be lower. she should be better.

i still dont understand what the big deal is about progression with artists that obviously just do it as a hobby. waffles is actively doing studies and she definitely has a bunch of flaws in her art, but i personally like her stuff. i feel the same way about most youtube artists, though. you dont have to be actively trying to improve and study if its just a hobby. some people obviously have regressed or think theyre better than they actually are (baylee and rae) but i really feel like certain people just do youtube for fun. it's not everyones full time job.

Let me get this straight. Not only are you saying it's your indisputable right to have expectations about some random internet person's skill progression, that said person I'm assuming you don't know has the OBLIGATION to meet your expectations?
Is this real?
I guess the problem here is how artists on Youtube are viewed. You claim to have this right to have expectations on her skill level because it's her job, but really, an Youtuber's job is to be an entertainer. They don't have to be good at anything, they just have to entertain their audiences enough for them to want to keep watching the videos. Some people do this by eating noodles on camera, others draw in a whole range of skill levels.

No. 295640

Of course people are defending her because she doesn't seem to be a bad person, that's the whole point of lolcow, to point cow behavior. Having art flaws does not constitute a cow, unless it's part of a bigger thing such as them being delusional and thinking they're the best artist in the world. The reason people like Lemia and Kasey get dragged is because of their personalities, thus cow-ish behavior.
I'm not personally defending Waffles because I think her art is great, I just think it's irrelevant to have several posts pointing out she draws ugly faces. We get it. Now, if she was an ass and people wanted to point it out, that would be more relevant.

No. 295708

>>295581
>She's not a good person

So far there doesn't seem anything that points to her being a bad person. She doesn't go on long rants about people doing things she doesn't like, talk down on other people, etc. she doesn't even go on about how classically trained she is or IIRC call herself a professional artist. Someone having a slow rate of improvement isn't milky when they don't play up their art to be what it isn't.

plus it's just low hanging fruit to try to say someone is a cow or milky based on the fact that they draw ugly faces but doesn't boast about their art skill and works on improving. it's unrealistic to expect someone to not have art flaws just because they draw regularly for youtube but don't consider themselves professional or classically trained artists. It's like kicking dirt.

No. 295724

I can see both sides of this argument, but I also don’t understand some of you guys. @ppl whiteknighting waffles; we get it, she’s not a terrible artist or person (dunno why someone suggested that), not everyone is aiming to be the absolute best they can possibly be, yada yada. Pointing out a couple of flaws in her art isn’t the end of the world though. She’s not exactly “milky”, but it’s just something to discuss, as would be the case with any artist that presents their work online. It’s going to be judged regardless of if the person is just doing it as a hobby or not, and in the end it’s up to that person whether or not to use that critique to their advantage or to just ignore it (which is also a valid option).

Not saying this as a reason to criticize Waffles, personally I don’t think there’s anything cowish about her as others have said. But just because someone has an illness isn’t particularly a reason to whiteknight someone. There’s a cow on kiwifarms that people follow specifically because they post ridiculous and entertaining stuff due to severe paranoia from schizophrenia and various related stuff. I don’t believe that their illness is necessarily an excuse for stuff. They choose to post, no matter how deluded they are. I’ve seen other minor cows that have deluded thinking from mental illness overshare and be ridiculous on the internet, so I don’t think it’s exactly okay to whiteknight someone solely because of an illness.

Once again, I don’t think we should bother with people that don’t have much cowish behavior. Just pointing out whiteknighting because of an illness is kinda flawed in my mind. To each their own I guess though.

Yeessh ngl this is kinda funny. Im the anon who mentioned the Waffles having an illness could POSSIBLY be the reason for whiteknighting.

People tend to be /subconsciously/ more lenient towards others that are decent and have a severe illness. A little while back anons were discussing Waffles illness and how they hoped she was okay. I put two and two together and figured that was the reason for the whiteknighting…. Its honestly a tinfoil theory/idea and nothing more guys.

But real talk though, some of you guys are whiteknighting Waffles to death. Just because she is a decent person doesnt mean we cant talk about how some of her art has flaws. Its not nitpicking if the flaws are major as fuck such as the anatomy.

Talk all you want, just don't expect everyone to be pleased when you keep repeating the same vapid comments yet again. Same thing about Rae, people wouldn't shut up about the same things over and over again, glad she got her own thread. But in Rae's case, at least you could justify people coming for her because she's a delusional cunt.
Also, if you wanna criticize someone's flaws, at least do it right and explain the reasoning behind the criticism. I'm aware several people did it that way, and I'm just talking to the ones who are trying to turn art critique into some sort of petty weapon.

She's sobbing and crying but telling people not to worry bc she has a' roof over their heads', a paid wedding in a month, and her fiance has a job opportunity… So what is it shes crying over exactly?

Maybe I am being harsh because she's just fussing about 1st world problems that she literally keeps saying "oh yeah it's not a problem"

She made sure to keep that superchat open for almost an hour though.

Maybe instead of wasting the time she said was such a problem, she should've just buckled down on commissions and fucking job hunting.

If she's really as fragile and incapable of fending for herself as she painted herself to be, she shouldn't be allowed on the internet/anywhere without supervision.

Hi, first time posting on here, sorry for any mistakes

There's this animation memer called Lovely Lauren that's been getting popular lately, and I get a bad feeling whenever I see her stuff

She specialises in "creepy" stuff, which isn't why I dislike her, just that she seems to look down on people who draw cutesy stuff instead of being creepy

I actually found her channel first because of Pkrussl's meme review of Sir Fluff, where she commented "zoinks". I thought it was just a joke at first, but after visiting her Tumblr and seeing that she only likes two animators (Sir Fluff excluded, by the way), it started to feel a bit condescending

All her OCs seem to have mental illnesses of sorts, and as far as I know from their bios, their personalities are really flat with no real goal or ambition but mental illnesses thrown in randomly, which is kind of a dick move if she thinks mental illnesses contribute to her creepy aesthetic

This is her latest OC

That could be part of the reason, but it might also be because she's becoming irrelevant, and she's finding that the return on investment for making videos for YT isn't satisfying to her anymore and that's fine? I'm not sure what she expected when it comes to her numbers vs others who do different content.
Isn't she the one who founded the YTAC? she doesn't really have anything to complain about. She's doing fine. She's just deciding to kind of cut her losses unless the video she wants to make is better quality and that's fine. Fussing about her numbers vs others in her circle isn't going to help her tho.

Edited to add that the same thing is kind of happening to baylee, she had similar worries, even though she hit that 1 mil milestone her views are still less than stellar.

This person goes by DivineSpiritual on DA, and their name is Chris/Chrissy

All of their art is either a bad attempt at the DP art style or attempting to do the BH6 tv-show art style and somehow giving everyone the same face.

A few years back they became kind of a well known artist in the DP fandom bc most OCs were recolors of canon characters as opposed to being drawn.

This resulted in a hugeass egotistical person who cannot take critic leveled at their poorly written, poorly drawn characters. If you don't like their art, or their characters you're a 'hater.' Their main self-insert-sue is a character named Carrie Angel.

You can google her and get a few results from various sue-blogs from a while back.

Not to mention she keeps switching universes w/ her character soley to ship them with whatever character she finds 'omg hawt' at the time.

Have some of you anons noticed how some of these artists specially from the manga/anime niche are always 18, 19, 20, max 23 years old but have experience with copics or other expensive materials "for over 10 years"? I never fell to this BS anyways

No. 302332

I like to assume they are either lying about their age or of course their time with copics (or ect). There are people who have started art very early in life, but the way half of them draw and seem thats not the case.


I just want to say that Im sooo tired of Youtube artist in general. Espically the younger ones (teens-20 somethings). I wouldnt be so annoyed with them if they were chill and just drew what they liked and relaxed and admitted their mistakes. But half of them are bitchy and passive agressive and think they are way more skilled than they actaully are. I miss the days when YouTube had artist who a.actaully knew what they were talking about b.just do speedpaints with music. But thats just my take, the Youtube art community is really getting obnoxious. But how do you guys feel about it?

Lemia is insufferable imo. I was introduced to her via her "My Art Teachers Hate Anime" video.

Her (sensible) art teacher in high school (rightfully) told her that her animu fanart is garbage. Now, over ten years down the road, she's bitching about it. If only she'd listened to him, maybe then her art wouldn't be so crap lmao

She says she thinks he hated her because he gave her a bad grade… on an assignment she literally stated he did incorrectly. But nooo, clearly he must hate you! What is it with shitty Youtube artists and taking criticism so personally?

There's a reason art professors and teachers hate anime- you're supposed to learn proper anatomy before you learn stylized anime. Learning anime first (especially in high school) will permanently fuck your ability to grasp anatomy and proportions. It's putting the horse before the cart.

When a student walks into a college figure class with a portfolio full of anime, guess what the professor thinks? "Great, I'm going to have to UN-teach them all the incorrect anime anatomy they learned before I even begin to teach them actual anatomy."

When high school teachers weed out no-talent weebs, it basically makes professors' jobs easier.

I don't see that as a problem because we don't really have to watch anyone. It's almost like we enter some kind of trance with social media and forget we can just unfollow people. I'd catch myself bitching inside my head about how so and so artist is stuck in the same style for ages, until I suddenly had the realization that it was about time for me to unfollow them, instead of expecting them to meet my expectations. I could compare that with how I'd be reluctant to drop a series that was getting boring just because I've watched it for ages.
So, the speedpaint+music videos still exist, or you could just turn off the sound and listen to your own music. It's all about what we choose to watch.

I see a lot of digital artists just doing their normal digital work, no focus on inking it anything, and call it inktober. One person even said that they weren’t interested in doing any inking specifically, they just want to get better with their illustrative techniques. Their reason for calling them inktober illustrations was because they were following the official prompt list. It’s a sensible reasons but it still seems weird calling it inktober when it’s just a random digital illustration.

I feel like the most annoying part is that all these people in a way feel entitled to participate, without following any of the rules set out for them, and still get awarded for it.

Jake Parker himself stated so many times that; it’s a traditional mediums challenge, the main focus has to be inks

That’s it. And people STILL have trouble keeping to the rules when they’re so simple, like, it’s on the fucking tin! INKtober

Really gives me the shits every time inktober rolls around

The official website says you can use watercolour, it just suggests sticking to one colour; probably because a black watercolour can be used pretty much the same as a black liquid ink. They've definitely expanded the official challenge to include more mediums and appeal to a wider range of artists, although I remember when it first came about and it was actually focused on the whole concept of inking. I don't think I'd worry so much that people used watercolour if they were using it to "ink" a piece, but people that just create typical paintings with watercolour definitely bend the rules a bit too much in their favour.

I know the digital art community got really upset last year when Parker said digital work wasn't fully in the spirit of a permanent stroke that can't be undone, which also sparked a lot of claims of ableism, meanwhile the website had a promotion with Autodesk, so honestly I don't think even he knows what he wants out of the challenge.

100% agree, hearing any young woman with this high-pitched put-on voice is a red flag for me. Armchairing, but the inability to speak from the deeper places of the throat and chest comes from anxiety and tension around expressing oneself, and all that tension stays in the upper parts of the throat, so the person in question can't relax properly while speaking. Loads of girls do this to their voices because it's popularized on Disney and shit where they ask their older actors to age-down their voices. They think it sounds cute but it's jarring as hell and takes long hours of practice to get rid of. tldr; This is why vocal coaches exist.

Yikes. Imagine being this delusional. Inktober should always be done traditionally, because thats litterally the point. What I dont understand is why even do the challenge if you arnt going to follow the rules and do whatever you want?? Like just dont get involved and continue to draw whatever the fuck you want. Its that simple.

Like I understand buying the materials maybe a problem (I guess), but if you MUST do it digitally then I think digital artist shouldnt be allowed to use color, undo, or erase because its starting to get out of hand. I went on IG the other day and seen some "inktober" post and they looked EXACTLY like their regular artwork, aka fully colored, regular inking/lineart, same old same old. No difference what so ever.

From the official Inktober FAQ:

>Q. Can I work digitally?

>A: Yes. Initially, the challenge of Inktober was focused on traditional inking. Although learning how to ink digitally is a skill separate from traditional inking it is no less valid. If you want to improve your digital inking skills then doing Inktober digitally is a great way to challenge yourself. Just be cool to those who want to use traditional inks. And traditional inkers, be cool to those who are trying to improve with their digital inking.

Don't get me wrong, I preferred when inktober was an actual inking challenge, but you can't get high an mighty that people are including digital in Inktober when the actual official Inktober challenge website has decided to include digital. It's not her fault that it's included.

No. 308340

The inking process wither digitally or traditionally is the most important thing about this challenge. I, however, do not like people using watercolors, markers, and actual colors to their pieces. The point is to do everything by ink and ink only (that includes the values and shading) and make the drawing as aesthetically pleasing as a colored or fully rendered piece.

No. 308354

I knew this thread would dissolve into bitching and moaning about inktober. I guess "linetober" just isn't as catchy lmao.
Inktober was never going to be an inking challenge only. People were bound to get in on the tag just for the follows, which, BTW is useless because it's so saturated anyway.

Question for yall. I've always been a fan of Vickisigh's art, and googled her today for some reason. I was surprised to see an Encyclopedia Dramatica page on her pop up close to the top. Even though I like her art, I was interested to see if there was some milk on her I was unaware of, especially since it seemed like a pretty long entry.

But….reading through the whole thing, it just reads like an insane vendetta post. Or am I just crazy? Is she a controversial figure at all? Just seems like a pretty vanilla twitter/patreon artist to me.

>Like so many big talking, egotistical fuckwits that sell themselves on the internet with big promises claiming that they're a mover and shaker and to expect big things from them when they say, Watch me and see how I change the world, Vicki has no real commitment in ever actually being a real artist like she claims. All art, to her, is a job like working as a burger flipper at McDonalds because if she did, she'd be putting more pride into her work and wouldn't be flooding the internets with every drawing she shit out much in the same way that a 4-year-old demands that every scribble they produce should be put up on the fridge for display.

I'm really curious to see who it is. People in the comments are assuming it's Lemia or Creepshowart, but Emily kind of dry-confirmed that it probably isn't Creep in the comments.

As I was listening to the video my brain immediately went to either Holly or Lemia. Lemia seems like the kind of 'saccharine on camera, cunt behind the scenes' type and Holly is just a miserable busybody all around. It could be Baylee, but she's known for lifting ideas and I don't think her Dunning-Krueger's so strong that she'd bother Emily over it.

Holly is probably my biggest suspect. She likes to stick her fingers in the pies of almost everyone in the artist community, and behind semi-closed doors, she's vindictive and bitchy. She's the kind of cow that will talk mad shit about someone to her friends, then turn around and try befriending them.

then why'd she make the fucking video? Like aside from getting views and attention, it's become one big witch hunt/guessing game, that, at its CORE incites drama.

Yeah, can't seem to find a video from either her or Baylee with a unicorn.

lol nobody complains about Bob not branching out because he didn't in any way pretend to be some kind of expert artist who knew all there was to know.

the comparison is weird, apples to oranges pretty much

He did landscapes. Not people. It's not out there for people to specialize, but he wasn't a one track mind. He painted a wide range of landscapes, from forests to lakes to mountains to snowy cabins, etc. Drawing just women isn't on the same level at all. It would be more like if Bob Ross only ever different evergreen trees. But he didn't. He branched out and did all sorts of trees, and mountains, and skies.
Lot's of people specialize in drawing/painting people in the form of character design or illustration. But the good ones can usually draw a wide range of people, not just women.

I don't hate Kasey, I actually get a bit of joy watching her videos, but DAMN gurl, how can you compare apples to oranges like that? How are you that oblivious to the difference?

It kind of unfortunate she's so insecure, and I think you're right that it might be part of why she didn't put in that much effort. A shame because she is pretty! In the video she also had a preliminary sketch that wasn't as bad, but when she put it on watercolour paper she messed it up, and instead of fixing it just didn't bother. So another part of why is was so terrible wasn't skill it was a lack of trying.

>>318894
Honestly she's really not that bad. She's actually a pretty good cartoonist. I actually do like her videos a lot, and I don't think she's this terrible person or artist, even if I'd like to see her get better.
It's mostly just annoying that she's bringing up Bob Ross negatively (she don't gotta like him, but it seems like a weird fight to pick) to try and counter people who think she should branch out. If Kasey doesn't want to branch out and increase her ability's reach, that's fine, she can legit just ignore it or say "I'm currently happy just doing what I do right now, and at the moment don't want to try other subjects. Thanks for the suggestion!" Which sounds less like "I don't want to improve so I'm gonna go off on how people don't criticize a dead man" and more like "This is what makes me happy and for now it's what I'm sticking to." She just needs to learn to take constructive criticism better, or at least learn to ignore it entirely. Not question why no one said the same about Bob Ross (although no doubt some people did sit on their sofas and wish he'd paint portraits)

i assume we can post IG artists here. i just have a question, is anyone else tired of internet artists being super entitled? i'm an artist, so i get it, art is hard, it can be deeply personal, etc. etc. but getting this upset about "copying" is stupid and a waste of energy. hardly anyone truly sets out to intentionally copy someone's art style. the only people that DO are usually really young kids, or lazy people trying to make money by imitating an already established artist.

the funniest part is, these kinds of whiny artists are usually on tumblr, and this user's totally unique and personal art looks like every other basic edgy tumblr art style.

idk, what are your thoughts? as an artist, i know i'm a creative person, but i also know that my "creativity" and all my ideas are an amalgamation of every neat piece of media i've ever seen. unless the person is actually doing a straight-up copy, why the hell do you care if they credit every single one of their inspirations? it'd be nice, sure, but i'm not going to have a panic attack if i THINK someone is ~inspired~ by my art and doesn't say anything. that just seems narcissistic.

This happens a lot with artists to tend to draw the same subject (like Sara herself or Ilya Kuvshinov). They're skilled, of course, but seeing the same girl repeated over and over again is boring and I find their drawings which feature anything other than pretty girls way better.

Paletteful packs is the best one, but it's quite expensive. I bought a 1 month sub + a previous box. They have main brand material, and especially the paper they give is A+ quality. Pen-based boxes like scrawlbox or artsnacks are more for people who don't have much traditional tools to begin with; most of the stuff they sent I already had. Stay the FUCK away from Sketchbox and Smart Art box, they're overexpensive disappointing scams.

I've gotten sketchbox a couple times and I haven't found anything to be wrong with them. In the times I've gotten them, I may be disappointed because I simply don't use the medium, but not disappointed because it was undervalued. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with any of the subscription boxes (except for SmartArt) depending on what you want to get. With the exception of SmartArt, they all give you something that is roughly the equivilent of what you pay for it.

SmartArt honestly is really the only scam and it is far more expensive than the others for no reason. Who the fuck pays 50 dollars to receive prang water colors I can pick up from walmart??

What's with these insta artists getting salty assuming every post that gets removed (usually with nudity or straight-up pornography) was someone with "frustrated life" or "jealous" who reported it?

It really shows that she doesn't do her studies and I don't like the tone of the "do this not that" videos because it sounds so demanding. Beginner artists and her fans are going to find these "so helpful" though, thinking they can just skip the studies and 'draw a rough skeleton' underneath.

So we just not gonna talk about on the "Do this" side is still 1000 percent fucked up. Like her tits are pretty much attached to her collarbone and her hips/waist symmetry is so off. along with the forearm being way to thick. There is so many mistakes she has no place to talk about anatomy.

honestly the don't side looks better, possibly because it's so heavily stylized that the anatomy actually isn't that important so long as the approximate proportions are fine.

I think there's value when artist's know the importance of learning something but recognize that they aren't at a level that they can teach others. Sometimes the best way to teach people is to refer them to other people that are more skilled in that area.

I think overall the art youtube community is pretty well-tread and formulaic now. Most artists are moving to vlogging about their art than just speedpaints and tutorials, but even the vlogging is starting to get samey.

there's only so much you can do in terms of being an art youtuber I guess, that things start to feel redundant after a while, especially with the YTAC, there's guest artists but overall hardly any fresh faces or styles. I think even the mainstay members are running out of steam and the only reason they make videos for it, is out of obligation and that it'll earn them some money for selling it.

No. 323412

>>323342
There's definitely a few art-tubers that I feel consistently present something to the table that, even if not necessarily exciting and new each video, is at least appealing for long term series. Thinking folks like InLiquidColour or Oto Kano who discuss pigment properties, shows how they mix, do various swatches and reviews. They're still very formulaic within their own channels, but they're covering stuff a lot of other larger channels don't. So until they run out of paints/pigments, they'll have viable series. Of course those types of channels don't tend to be as popular as channels that follow more standard formulas with more popular styles/aesthetics.

I also enjoy ppl like The Mind of Watercolor, InLiquidColor, etc. for learning more about pigments and different techniques (mostly pertaining only to watercolor), but I can see why they seem boring to those who don’t care about that kind of stuff. DoodleDate may be the most creative art tubers out there when it comes to videos, I think, despite the lack of technical skill. (Which is a bit ironic considering how laidback their vids are compared to others’.) They offen follow trends, but they also do a lot of different things which no one else has done, even if it’s something small like drawing vampires with red ink or something like that that’s not necessarily a “challenge”, but can be fun to watch and try yourself. I’d rather watch something like that than watch thirty vids of the same challenge that’s sometimes barely a challenge. (like the cheap art supply one).

And yeah, challenges can be fun if they're either unique or at least get people to be creative. I do like when you see a boring challenge and someone puts a creative twist on it. But a lot of the time it's just people doing exactly the same things they usually do but with a restriction/prompt. Or it starts out as an interesting challenge but then gets so saturated that it stops being fun and you just want people to do something different

Unpopular opinion, but I really don’t like doodle date. I liked them at the beginning of their but they’re really going all out for their young audience now. They can get really grating really quickly and I can’t help but feel that overall they don’t really .. have personalities, they come off really 2D.
In the swap video they did with Kasey it very much felt like Kaseys video was teasing/making fun of them with the impersonation.

I really like channels like Furry Little Peach, Leigh Ellexson, and Mateusz Urbanowicz - does anyone have any suggestions for channels similar to theirs? Someone similar to Kasey would also be good minus the whining, I wish she seemed more excited about what she does becaus it tends to suck the life out of her otherwise very lively illustrations.

Also this is mean I guess but I wish they tried to look a bit nicer for the camera. Adam sometimes looks like he hasn't showered in a week and Steph looks like she yet rolled out of bed.. I guess it doesn't matter for an art YouTube channel but they're hard to watch sometimes because they are unkempt. But I feel bad for nitpicking because they do seem like genuinely sweet people and I enjoy their videos.

I also thought it seemed like Kasey was mocking them in a very mean spirited way. It would t surprise me because she's an edgelord.

Uh, guys. I’d bet money it’s Kattvalk. Remember how Emily specifically said she got dm’d because her unicorn was stealing the unnamed artuber’s “aesthetic”, and then Emily went on a rant about how rainbows and unicorns and Lisa Frank shit was huge nowadays and everyone was doing it, confirming it’s the unicorn drawing from four months ago, not the one she did two years ago? Aside from the purple skin, Emily’s and KattValk’s unicorns do look similar enough I could see a gatekeeping youtuber jumping on it, and accusing her of stealing.

Nice deduction there.
It's interesting to me that the unicorn drawn 4 years ago doesn't look much like the unicorn Emily did 4 months. Then when Kattvalk redraws it, it does look a bit more similar to Emily's (the horn, the sveltness).
Unicorns aren't something you can just say belongs to one person though, that's a pretty universal idea.

I uncovered something juicy, if we’re working off the idea it was Kattvalk who harassed Emily. Remember how she allegedly said her last collab left a bad taste in her mouth, and how she didn’t want to do another for awhile because of it? Her last collab was with Baylee…

I agree with this Mira person, since not all art/sketchbook work has to be with the goal to improve. She's totally right, you can sometimes just do stuff for fun.

I guess Kasey is doing some fake callout of Baylee which will probably be lowkey mean.

No. 328988

>>328963
Honestly, I would love that.
Kasey has the charm of a goblin but she’s certainly miles ahead of bailey in terms of content/artistic abilities/drive to improve, so I’m curious as to what Baylee apparently called her out for (I’m going to assume the Bob Ross thing, which while it was tacky I think anons here are taking it way too much to heart)

No. 328992

>>328988
>drive to improve
lolno, kasey bitches all the time that she only wants to draw the same shitty cartoons, forever. but yes, she obviously puts more work into her channel than baylee does.

the bob ross thing was kasey being her bitter hag self and trying to upset people, though. most people are going to be mad if a beloved, positive art icon is being called a talentless waste of space by some weeb no one will remember in 10 years.

No. 329033

>>328992
Wanting to create the same things doesn’t mean you don’t improve - the huge amount of work she creates, trying out different mediums and working off of prompts will help her improve. Yeah, it might not be anatomy or the Like but she’ll get better at things like choosing colours or composition.

Also, I really don’t understand the Bob Ross thing. Yes it’s incredibly tacky and gross to say he’s a waste of space, but at the same time he’s also a complete stranger to all the people getting upset - at the end of the day he was just a tv personality

Not white knighting but people can focus on only their preferred area and will still improve over time so I’d the earlier comment of her having a drive to improve is still valid

No. 329037

>>329033
People get upset over people they don't know (like celebrities) all the time. Especially someone who was basically the Mr. Rogers of art and a very positive, gentle influence. This is a guy whose memorial streams draw millions of viewers every year. Just because you can't relate to it doesn't mean people getting mad about it is invalid. And someone like Kasey KNOWS it will upset people, and shares her opinion in the most inflammatory way possible, because she's edgy and thinks that's something to be proud of. You 100% sound like a WK by defending her on this point.

No. 329053

>>329033
Bob Ross is very beloved in the art world and also dead, it just seems completely uncalled for and mean-spirited to say shit like that.

I think Kasey definitely tries to improve her art in her own way and puts a lot of work into her channel but she seems like a bitchy person who will purposefully try to say something hurtful if she gets annoyed.

No i definitely think it’s disrespectful and a petty thing to do, but I also think the outrage over it is way out of proportion.

because generally people want to become the greatest artist that ever lived and if you don't do that you're not a REAL artist or something.

I don't think there's anything wrong with drawing the same shit over and over forever and never improving outside of your niche, if that's what you really want to do, but if you're a YouTuber you're kind of at the whim of your audience if your aim is to get big and make money, and it's not fun to watch a YouTuber draw the same pretty girl on a white background over and over again.

Another thing that bothers me is her ignorance when it comes to watercolors as a medium. I remember when she got her Schmincke paints she went on and on and on about how she did all this research about how you weren't supposed to use Qor paints as dried paint when in reality those paints rewet like an absolute dream and maintain their original vibrancy. I think she was just looking for any reason to excuse buying new paints, which is fine, buy what you want, but don't go spreading false information about a good quality paint.

I sort of agree, I think the 100 dollar price tag for an original is fine artist's need to set the price they're willing to part with a piece, it's really just her attitude that gets me.

economics. Just could have been handled better.

I feel like with everything Kasey has to make it a "look I'm better than you" moment.

She's definitely someone who is a bit more analytical, so it doesn't surprise me that she's more 'clinical' about it. But you probably shouldn't confuse that for a lack of passion, it's just how some people tend to think and process things.

Although it definitely has a bit of weird anatomy going on.

Just wanna throw this out there, just because you want to do one things for kids (like illustrator childrens books) doesn’t mean that you want all of your work to revolve around them. Plenty of adults also like cartoons so I’m not sure what your point was there, but I can sympathise with the frustration that a lot of art youtubers express over having a majority minors audience - they didn’t sign up to be a children’s host, they probably saw a youtuber they enjoy and wanted to share their work in the same format

No. 331210

Something that was talked about on the Baylee thread was how she both loves and resents her audience, which is perdominently children. Their easy to market to and tend to not question the lolzy, bitchass attitudes of their favorite art youtubers. But, when she wants to post "omg nsfw" ish artwork, she's often met with some backlash. So I honestly don't feel bad for many of these arttubers as they make quite a bit of money off of their young audience and only seem to make a big deal out of it when they can turn it into clickbait and talk down to their audience.

Nah this is the same old same old for Danica. I stopped watching her because she rambles and is way too technical for someone who continuously pushes out basic pretty characters. It got boring so fast.

Also for this video specifically, what 'composition' is she referring to? It's literally one of those same old lanky characters with wonky anatomy floating in space.

Obviously Kasey et all don't have to do kid friendly shit all the time but it's good to consider your majority audience before posting mature content. They're literally the backbone of these channels, they're the ones clicking and watching without adblock (which most adults use), so to use any opportunity to talk down to that same audience is pretty hypocritical when you wouldn't be anyone without them.

I was watching doodle dates stream earlier and Kasey was in there complaining about how entitled her younger audience is. Just fucking get over it.

So even if you didn't agree that it was creepy would you not be understanding of people who did if the people who make Pixar or maybe Winnie the Pooh or something made joking lewd drawings of their characters?

Also her chanting buttholes and weiners in a video that also has her bitching about the video being age restricted for no reason just show cases how stupid she is being.

When comparing the two, I do prefer Kelogsloops work. When you compare what he was putting out in the beginning, you can see the growth from doing strictly portraits to creating paintings like these.

The art sucks but coloring only the top lip is a relatively common trick in art.

I mean, true, but it's not the top lip thing that's an issue, it's the execution (which isn't all that terrible, it was just too wavy). So it's not a mistake the way anon brought it up, she didn't just forget the bottom lip or something.

Fashion illustrations aren’t the best example, considering they always draw the figures as clothing looks best on hangers. Regardless, the ideal of the 1940’s was to have waifish, adrogonous/masculine figures in fashion. Hourglasses or fat asses were never mentioned, but the figure is indeed extremely angular - women don’t tend to be angular even when very thin because of our skeletal structures and body fat distribution, so it honestly looks pretty twinky. And you’ll find that an hourglass WAS the ideal for the average woman in the 1940’s, but they were slim rather than exaggerated like they are now.

LMAO tfw you spend a long time scrolling through all these forums for whatever reason, but hey I'm so glad to find there are people who feel similarly about certain youtube artists. They just get 'same-y' after a while. Like they reach a peak and they stop improving. This isn't the case for all youtubers, but a lot of them, like Baylee, Kasey, LavenderTowne etc, they just peak and that's it, they stop.

Speaking of though I saw Lavender Towne's 'do this, not that' video on anatomy and it was really dreadful and wild. I really hate the mentality that you should be 'doing this' instead of anything else in art, it's a very deconstructionist take on art. You should be building skills and breaking old habits rather than just 'not doing that' or whatever. IDK was never a fan of it but I guess young kids love being told what they should or should not be doing.

For me I find the big art Youtubers just don't have any useful tips. It's all stuff that's very obvious, like "Try to make sure the eyes are the same size" or "Don't pick a color palette that's all neon".

I've never learned anything useful from art Youtube. All the useful art tips and tricks I've learned, like Photoshop tricks like clipping masks or coloring tricks like shading with a different color instead of a darker version of the base color, I've learned from books or artists I talked to in real life.

Not a fan of her or her art, she's a bit like watered down luke-warm, bland porridge. Her art style(atm)reminds me of of early 2000's anime art, which I love in a "so bad, that its good" way because of nostalgia reasons. But it is surprising that she still draws like this since she's been drawing for quite a long time and I believe she when to school for art and/or design, but I could be completely wrong so feel free to correct my mistake.

Honestly I don't mind her since she doesn't get herself into drama, she just continues doing her own thing, so good on her. She's not the most positive person, but she's not overtly happy and positive to the point that it's fake. She kinda gives me a "back to the past" sorta vibe, like a early 2000's, newgrounds, early deviantart kinda vibe when it comes to her aesthetic.

it's just a stupidly vague term. "art block" could really mean that every time you draw you're so anxious that you scrutinize every line and when you do have an idea you immediately tell yourself it's stupid, in which case, yeah that's mental issues. Or it could be that if you draw every day you're bound to run out of creative stamina sometimes.

It's like if a runner said "oh sometimes you're too tired to run? well, you probably have a serious physical ailment" kek

i see some people on here complaining about realistic anatomy but i think we should all keep in mind that not everyone is going for a realistically proportioned style. creepshow art for example. she draws necks very strangely and she is told about it all the time and she doesn't change it because she likes it and she doesn't care about whether or not it's realistic. she's good at what she's going for. i do however agree that the hands on her drawings are very large compared to the rest of the anatomy. i'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but maybe we should ask her before we start judging her for it. judging someone's realism is one thing but judging their personal art style is another

i'm actually subbed to her and i can attest to the fact that i really like and admire her art style, plus she's really funny and passionate and doesn't back down from a fight and i respect that.

anyway, i think some improvements she could make on this piece is to make the bits of the g string that are under the robe more pale to make them look like they're actually under the robe. she could have also made it more obvious that the robe is sheer, plus she made the fingers a bit too long and forgot to draw the palm. other than that i think this is really nice. i love how she draws eyelashes, it's fabulous

Why do youtube "artists" think art class is about them drawing their shitty anime all the time? Art class is supposed to teach you about art history, art theory, art analysis, conceptual art. It's still an educational class how do they end up thinking it's after school supervised kids care. I don't know how art classes are in the US but where I live we had all kinds of art projects be it installations, collages or sculpting. And a huge chunk was theory.

Wait the fuck up- you mean it's NOT her surname? WTF? We're both fucking idiots because I never even suspected that

It's three idiots now lmao

Do we know her real surname or is she pulling a waffles?

Her twitter handle is KaseyTheGolden but i thought that was a joke with her name

No. 337534

I think almost everyone thought Golden was her surname. Which I hope it IS, because of its just made up then Kasey is far up her own ass as normal.

Hey fam, I don't mean to be that person, but does anyone know how to make a new thread so we can link it on here? Or does anyone want to make a new one?

I understand the deep concern of people who do this, and I do believe that there needs to be some kind of form of consensus between the original creator and the dub actor, but this girl acts like people like this are purposely doing this to call it theirs, when in fact some of these channels are crediting the original creators. Hell, people like this hardly receiving any of the original content’s attention (unless it’s being translated into English).
Can anybody pull up Nina voices’ channel to see if she attempted to support these people?

Sure Jan…what were you looking for while googling her name? Any ideas?

Jan? I'm not sure what you mean. I just got off the phone with Emily, and she mentioned lolcow, so I decided to check it out. I can't be anonymous on YouTube, but here you can call me SB.

Seriously. You would think that admitting to being Emily's ex would elicit something. I guess it's whatever. I just wanted to vent after getting off the phone with her. I'm pissed that people take shots at her. She's a damn decent person, and I'm grateful to have her in my life.

I can’t stand Kasey. She’s always looking for a gimmick to get people to like her. Emily was pretty bad but at least she’s transparent about it. It’s a little annoying but she knows she used to be obnoxious and doesn’t pretend or deny it. The jury is still out on her new content. Baylee is just so neutral to me anymore. She creates such inoffensive content that I don’t know whether to hate her or avoid her. Rae is amongst the Nickelodeon wacky art challenge ranks, no thank you to her content but she seems like a genuine person. Her art can be really great or garbage, no where inbetween. But I think I like her overall personality

Well it's obvious you are posting here for her benefit only, so there's not much to say. It's cute you want to stand up for your friend, though
