I agree with most of this post, but can I kinda put this out there that an artist ‘having potential’ is kinda bs. I’m not directing this at the anon, but with a lot of people who use with as defense for an artists, it strikes me as a ‘no shit they have potential’ because really anybody can create, be musical, or be athletic. Sure some may have more talent than others but it depends on the person’s passion/will to improve

how do you fuck up this bad. all you have to do is google 90's electronics she defended herself in the comments saying ~it's part of the same era~ when it's not. there are so many toys and consoles that are the hallmarks of the 90s and instead she just drew a bunch of early 2000s stuff mixed in with super early 90s stuff like a cassette player when CD players became very popular in the 90s. it's shitty. the whole composition, from concept to realisation, is trash. /sperg

I only got about halfway through and yeah, her tone is really strange. It sounds like she's wanting to cry, but she can't, but she knows this is dramatic so she has to pretend she is.

Minor blogpost, but as someone who experienced similar stuff, it's hard even for me to take this seriously. I've never understood how people make such "polished" videos about stuff like this… I always figured it'd be awkward as hell to edit these types of videos? You're revealing some serious emotional trauma, but you also have to make sure your sprites are timed correctly… More power to her, I guess.

As someone whose been through child abuse, I’ve never understood the people that make videos about their abuse. It’s not at all something I’d ever announce publicly and have my image/name tied to it, I don’t want people picking apart my story, or giving me pity. It just seems like a weird thing make a video out of.. why would you do it other than a ‘wahh give me attention, also this justifies any shitty behaviour of mine’? The only ones I can possibly understand are domestic abuse situations where you’re telling people red flags to look out for or rather than the abuse itself the steps you went through to cope with it and how you got out of the situation.

No. 360228

>>360184
The whole tone of this video just rubbed me the wrong way. Like you stated it felt all made for youtube with the way this whole video was worded. Normally when I hear people talk about their abusive parent, ex, whatever; they're not using fancy language and metaphors - they're giving just basic statements on what happened. And honestly, the whole video felt like it was more of a PSA (or whatever) on suicide. There wasn't much of her "abusive father" in the mix, asides from it just being a backstory to what caused her to become suicidal at one point.

No. 360240

>>360184
Definitely strangely disingenuous right off the bat, drawing a little girl lying beat up on the ground while describing her father's behavior, then immediately going on to explain he never physically abused her. Same with her description of his pedophilia: she brings forth what she poses as a horrifying accusation against him, but then says (paraphrasing) "he never actually sexually abused me; I could just SENSE he was attracted to me" and says how he spent time around her and looked at her.
A lot of aspects of this video come off as forced/artificial: the creepy music and drawings, the Shane-Dawson-esque sound effects and narration, etc., while talking about things that aren't even inherently creepy or unusual (like strict parents yelling about their children's underachieving and friend groups). She whimpers, cracks her voice, and constantly references her bad feelings while explaining almost nothing concrete or compelling behind her story, even representing things as simple as "I used the internet often" as tragic, horrifying experiences.

It comes off as very theatrical and artificially produced. I understand there has to be a script of some sort, cause she did have to animate around it.

She is definitely uninspired and has been since she's gone full time. I suspect she ekes out whatever pittance of creativity she has whenever she gets a big ticket sponsor so she'll have a video to shill. That's all it ever is with her anymore. Even the thumbnail makes me not wanna even bother clicking. Everything she makes is so vapid.

No. 360267

>>360194
Hmm, I've talked about my own publicly, but it was a far more "spur of the moment" kind of thing… Sometimes specific things spark those kind of emotions and memories in you and it's hard to keep them down. That isn't the case for everyone, and I get why others wouldn't want to talk about it, but I think it's a case by case sort of deal.

But this video seems so contrived. To write a script, record lines, draw cheesy animatics blatantly dramatizing the abuse (bruises and scrapes for abuse that she admits wasn't physical? alright), and spending the time editing it all together… It makes it all so much less genuine to me. Honestly it does seem like it was made with getting views in mind, and it sucks to think that cynically, but I truly can't shake that impression. I guess that's what YouTubers are in it for, though.

No. 360269

>>360184
there was nothing in this video that gave the impression that she wanted to talk about abuse. she just wanted to suicide bait for views. not in the sense of 'im gonna kill myself' suicide bait, but the kind that is like 'suicide is Bad because i had it but i Cured it' sort of way. it feels like a pander to the (im assuming) younger audience she has to seem more relatable by saying she had/has suicidal tendencies and an abusive father.

i honestly think this entier story is horse shit. the editing, the recording, the way the script is written; nothing in this is genuine or inspiring.

what bothers me the most is the fact in the video she claims to have attempted suicide 'on june 11ths of this year'. the video was posted to youtube on june 29 2018. that means in 18 days, a little over two weeks, she had attempted suicide, decided the root cause was her father, then wrote the script, recorded the audio, animated it, and then editted the video in the dramatic Shane Dawson way that she did. in 18 days.

this entire video stinks of 'depression LoL' clickbait.

I don’t understand this mentality, why are we, the audience, not allowed to be annoyed that we’re just seen as dollar signs? Sure, I understand that these people need to earn a living, and I can empathise with that, but it’s so fucking callous and obnoxious how many sponsors they have they try to sell us while clearly not using the service themselves, or the amount of ads they try to cram into videos that clearly didn’t take a significant amount of effort to film or edit. I and most likely many others are sick of being obviously treated like nothing more than a means for more as revenue, it completely puts me off of the creator.
I significantly prefer it when they have a patreon (even if it doesn’t have physical reward tiers like most artist ones do these days) because I can support artists of my own volition and I’ll be getting one ad/sponsorship per video max from what I’ve seen of most channels that have Patreon.

Real talk now, are there any other solid options to YouTube that isn't Instagram video? I thought of looking at Dailymotion or Vimeo but still haven't done my research.

Unfortunately mainstream social media is going to be monetized and full of advertising, no matter how much we sperg and complain here in lolcow. At least with those recorded advertising I can skip every 10 seconds of the video both in my phone or desktop and get straight to the video, but what about AdSense(or whatever that shitty advertising thing is named) that Kasey crams 5 at once in her 10minute videos?

Each and every one of these look so busy and tryhard.

This may seem petty but I really dislike her bug-eyed style and I hate the symbol/emoji shit she draws on the eye. It looks so offputting. Her designs are so unpleasant. You'd think by now she'd have grown out of this mess, but time and time again youtube artists never do.

She's one of those artists who's found her "style" and clings to it desperately because she's afraid she'll loose her core audience if she made the effort to actually study or improve.
Artists like her, once they find their audience, they don't budge. They just cater to who they get for ever and become complacent.

That's also people like Kasey and sakimichan, but there's a good discussion there; is there anything inherently bad about the complacency of artists? As long as people like their stuff and they're making a living it's all good right? You'd think the repetitive nature of their subjects would wear on these types eventually but who knows, maybe the money just really is that good.

on one hand, yes, i can agree that if their is a demographic enjoying a certain type of work, then the artist has every right to pursue that demographic. but when you go after said demographic for so long, eventually the pursuit will come off as lazy or lacking actual passion, hence why people like lavendertowne and Kasey get so much shit. they have been going on for years and have not changed at all. a good comparrison to a yt artist at least trying to improve their art is Waffles, like comparing her art vids from a year ago to now is close to night and day. she is actively trying to get better and expirament with different methods, unlike the former two who are stuck in their ways and are learning nothing.

No. 360655

i think that the issue is with people who have hyperstylized art is that its so defined in what it is that its hard to kinda change? i dont think that either kasey or lavender have ugly styles (though i do not really like lavender's stuff all that much, its a tad tryhard). its just that in my opinion its easier for someone like waffles to improve because her style is more realistic than their's. kasey has some things she can clearly impove while still maintaining her style (composition and anatomy are the first to come to mind). but lavender shed probably have to over haul to make any improvement, because man does that girl really just wanna draw people with weird try hard character designs who seem to not have any bones to speak of

I don't really know the details and i dont have any caps to prove this because this happend a few years ago and she deletes a lot, but mainly companies don't want to hire her because she refuses to draw anything but her pretty girls. There is also the incident with Wacom.

She bought a Wacom Companion and had issues with it and contacted customer service. She wasn't satisfied and instead of continuing to maybe call or email Wacom she decided to harass the online spokesperson who initially talked to her and sending her whiteknights to them. It got to the point that Wacom told her to fuck off. Shortly before this happened Wacom asked her to collab like with other popular artists. She was stuck up and told she needed to talk to her manager and ended up demanding a rediculous amount of money from Wacom and Wacom said fuck this and pulled out. I don't think she had a collab with a company since HP ever since.

What I'm most interested with cyarine is how she makes a living, and a pretty well one too. I mean I know she just published a… book with her art? bust most things on her IG are just unfinished sketches and she maybe posts them once a week. Would be interested in what's actually in there lol. She said she freelances at some point but we never see any of her stuff and I'd be surprised if companies actually hire her seeing how she can draw one thing in just one style. Her art is lazy and boring, at least what shows on IG is. I feel like she had potential at some point but ever since the fame got to her head, her art suffered a lot.

I always found it interesting when he would take his own photos and manipulate them before drawing over them, I considered it to be digital mixed media in a way, but it’s really scummy to do it to others creative works and take all the credit I think the photo manipulation has become a crutch at this point and he has no idea how to draw without a photographic foundation underneath

I thought it was a lil weird too. I've also never understood why art companies charge so freaking much for packaging the supplies in a wooden box. Usually, they're decent boxes, but it`s so easy to get your own boxes and customize them or even find very similarly designed boxes at a lower cost.

In Liquid Color seems like a really nice lady though. She doesn't have any real milk afaik, even if it irks me somewhat that she's one of those art tubers who have giant collections of art supplies that they wouldn't feasibly be able to use in their lifetimes. (Which she admits herself in one of her vids that she has way too many watercolor paints for one person.)

Wooden boxes are a little impractical to me for watercolors. It's a wet medium stored in a container that has an ease to seep moisture inside of the material, no matter how many layers of water repellent substance they might have layered into the wood.

We have plastic and metal boxes for the sake of weight and practicality! Whereas wooden box(and the way materials are placed) would be tied to studio-only use.

You are true on one thing: Denise, alongside most art YouTubers who have a sizeable section of paint material reviews, suffers from hoarding and excessive buying. Buying and reviewing stuff is the bulk of their videos, reflecting on their collection left to gather dust.

Teoh at least seems to sell some of his tube paints in pans and make local giveaways for drawing tech he has reviewed over the years. I think it wouldn't hurt some of these creators who have patreons to make a giveaway of materials to certain patron tier's and patrons who have been there for the longest time. Could be an extra boost reward for fidelity.

And the wooden palettes are also clearly intended for only studio use, not everything has to be portable - plenty of artists work primarily from home, it makes sense to prefer a nicer looking material for your palette when it’s going to be on display essentially 24/7

I agree with these anons. It's very lackluster. Although not every nose or eye shape he drew looks exactly the same, they still look rather lifeless and similar. The artist has talent, sure, but they're not really doing anything outstanding or unique here. Taking a photo reference and erasing the more unique characteristics of the model to draw a "prettier version" is just the easy way out in art. Talented, sure, but just nothing special or unique to see here.

This mostly just bugs me when it's people spending crazy amounts of money on hoarding art supplies for no reason.

I am so fucking sick of all the Arteza reviews, I highly doubt that they’re nearly as good as all these youtubers who get the stuff for free/get paid to review are saying. Why are reviews within the art tuber community so disengenuous and almost always feel the need to say something along the lines of ‘I’d personally never use something like this, by it’s fine if you do!!’ no other community seems to do this.

Saged for the blogpost.
I've tried some of the arteza supplies, and from my experience I'd call them higher end student-grade supplies.

They're great for beginners, and made for a nice donation of art supplies when I decided they weren't for me. But if you have any experience at all with art supplies, I'd give them a pass, with the exception of the watercolor paper. It's decent run-of-the-mill 140 lbs/300 gsm paper. The two-pack for $23 is great, but obviously only worth it if you do a lot of painting.

tl;dr I honestly don't now why people shill for them so hard, they're pretty comparable to store brand art supplies.

similar experience but I'd say their only good product is the water-soluble woodless pencils, they really melt fully as they say, and are a good alternative if you can't afford caran d'ache.

It is really irritating though and I avoid arteza reviews like the plague now.

I've only tried arteza gouache and for student grade, it's the best I have tried. Must be used from the tube though, they're more trouble than they're worth to try and reactivate once dry in pan/palette.

Extreme highlighting can work, the main issue here is the lack of extreme highlighting anywhere else on the face, and the over rendered/too dark shading on the nose. Since the shading is so centred on the nose it just looks really weird.

I mean if you're using extreme highlights blend it out a bit, throw some on the cheek where the light is coming from (instead of both) and then you'll get much nicer lighting probably

I think Kasey has the opposite problem to people who are all over the place and constantly searching for a 'signature style'. She's so entrenched in doing the same thing over and over again, telling herself it's her style, that she can't even deviate it from it to improve or learn.

She could've just…done some research.

And then after that she just completely gave up and did whatever she wanted and rendered the point of the video completely pointless.

the Mona Lisa is in every fucking history book known to man, especially when talking about the renaissance.

her entire gripe about the mona lisa being dark and shit shows a complete lack of effort to learn anything about the renaissance. fuck, even color theory talks about this when covering just the history, something a google search can inform you about easily. yet, she sits there, irgnorant.

look, i get it. i love the whole 'draw this in your style' meme, but when you outright dont just ignore, but blatantly admit you avoided learning about the history behind a historical piece, sorry not sorry, you are not an artist. gatekeeping is a load of shit, but you can't make a video on HISTORIC ART and then not fucking learn even the wiki page about it!

What do you guys think about Learn2DrawManga on Youtube? Her art is very flat and pretty unappealing .

In other news,
Waffles recently hit 1 mil and I honestly think she deserves it.

Unlike the majority of popular art YT's she seems like a good influence on the kid demographic, none of that woe is me or edge-lord shit, and she's always talking about studying various subjects and trying new things etc etc
I'm happy for her.

Plus, just another 100 000 or so more and she'll even dethrone Baylee!

>>365356
Wow, yeah I'd say that looks ok for a teen just starting out with digital IMO…except she's not a teen.

In this video (https://youtu.be/5RSFihZeoiI) posted in August she admits to being at least 22 years old, AND that she's been doing digital since she was 15.

I'm sorry, but HOW on earth can she still be at a WIKIhow level of drawing after 7 years?

How does everyone feel about LeslieLu Marie? I used to like her a 2-3 years ago, but she hardly exists anymore and I feel like her already not so great art has gotten even worse the past year. Her art has never been super interesting, but it has managed to become even more boring. The best her art has been was the 2016 sketchbook. She also is somehow more annoying about her boyfriend than spechie is. The crayon shit she made for her most recent video is pretty atrocious. That's not really an issue except the original plan was she was going to hang it up in the bf's room. You'd think she'd do something that will and does turn out nice if she's going to display it like that

anon that posted the vid here. Yeah, she definitely never uses ref or does studies, but I also never got the impression she ever has. It doesn't seem like she draws as much as she used to before she got a job, which is understandable. I think the main thing that's killing her art is her comfort zone has gotten smaller it seems. Even if it was just busts/half-bodies, she used to do a lot more detail and put a decent amount of effort into them. Nowadays it just seems like everything is a chibi doodle, her (poorly) copying another style, or a bust sketch that faces forward. Sorta sad, I guess.

Also, I was a bit curious about this piece so I went to her store, but she doesn't even give a description or background to it. So i'm left with a lot of questions.

Why does it have a childishly stitched together thorax incision? She mentioned wanting his bones to glow through his jacket "like a shark".

I think part of it is that she's just switching mediums, but not trying to take advantage of some of the unique features those mediums have. Which is fine when starting out and just trying to learn the basics, but since she wants to push herself she'd really benefit from also changing her subject matter when trying new mediums. It would allow her to focus less on what she's familiar with and more on the medium itself.

No. 366575

That's why I thought she could have used a palette knife with the oil paints instead of a regular brush. When I'm in a slump, the palette knife forces you away from keeping things "perfect" and it makes for some pretty interesting paintings.

No. 366581

>>366575
Definitely agree. In this case she probably would have even just been better off with a bigger brush. She's using such a tiny brush and that just forces her to focus too much on the little things from the start

No. 366593

Personally, I love Danica's style. I find it very soothing and relaxing. I guess the aesthetic speaks to me and I really don't want her to change her style or go more expressive. But I think she is using new mediums as an excuse. In the past she has mentioned that she wants to do serial work as in comics or graphic novels. She's also done a few pieces that had some sort of narrative to them. I think she is "branching" out to give herself some sort of reason as to why she is not moving on to more serious work.

No. 366631

>>366593
Why on earth would you not want an artist you admire to get more expressive?
Especially since you mentioned her wanting to branch out and do comic/graphic novel work.

I mean;
Comics is one of the most shorthand (aka expressive) communication styles of art there is! And graphic novels (as far as I know) require even more depth and thought in each panel, both composition and detail wise, with plenty of narrative environmental pieces as well.

If she's serious about doing graphic novels, she needs to work on a lot more than just character expression. Things like scene composition, landscapes etc etc

I'd honestly love to watch her work on improving her skills in those areas! I'd subscribe just for that,even if it was just an occasional dedicated video here and there.

AND it would really set her apart from the "making bust up portraits only" YT art crowd.

No. 366640

>>366631

There is a difference between putting more thoughts into each drawing, working on composition, background etc and being expressive ala using a pallet knife as other anons have suggested. What I meant was I don't want her to change her style (the way she draws the human body/color scheme/mood)
But I completely agree. She needs to step up her game and actually do the graphic novel/comics. She has what it takes to start and watching her waste her time/energy is kinda unnerving.

No. 366650

>>366640
I…think you misunderstood me? Sorry, but I'm not the anon talking about palette knives, and I definitely wasn't implying that the only way to be expressive is to use splashy loud ways of painting.

All i said, was that I think she should work more on conveying more narrative through scene composition, light values, and FACIAL expressions than what she's currently doing.

No, of course she doesn't have to change her style. It's her trademark.

Exactly! She needs to start drawing some characters actually emoting, interacting with an environment, conversing, SOMETHING that isn't the same stiff "i'm such a beautiful tortured soul" OC portraits she keeps doing.

Glad we agree on that!

Not really salt but there’s been a lot of copycats of 80s/90s anime art style. Don’t get me wrong, I adore this style but after seeing this so much on Twitter it makes me wonder if copying another artist’s artstyle is going to be the norm and it’s making me sad that they tend to get more traction compared to people who’ve spent years developing their own style.

No. 366871

Exactly.
Again, the lack of storytelling in a lot of online art in general is mind boggling to me. Art is so more than just OC portraits and fan art.

Why not create actual scenes for their characters, put them in a setting and let them be doing something other than posing. Or maybe do a piece that let's the scene composition say something about their world or the character.

I'm not talking about creating fully rendered masterpieces, just…an attempt at creating another world and telling a story with their art once in a while.

Lesbians are older when they have their first relationship, so they have had the chance to get comfortable being alone with themselves before they ever have a relationship, it is usually calmer/more mature than straight relationships in the same age group. Growing up gay means coming to terms with the fact you might be single your whole life, since there aren't really that many of us out there, never mind ones with a mutual attraction. Lesbians don't have a girl-crazy phase where they lose their sense of self in a bid to get a partner, even if they are lonely they know who they are and stick to it. I think there is a lot less spite during fights as well.
Of course there are exceptions for both sides, but I think it gets confused by the fact there are a lot of het/bi girls that call themselves lesbian because they have an unstable identity. This is just personal opinion but I see a lot of similarities in lesbians to autistic women (I'm around both), e.g. not wearing something that you feel uncomfortable in even if you would look more "normal" in it.

NTA but I responded to a similar question in a different thread, I’ll paste it here since it’s relevant

- they’re lesbians just because. It adds absolutely nothing to the story, it doesn’t impact their characters whatsoever and there was obviously little to no thought put into it
- they’ll act like a het couple in the sense that none of the problems they come across will be wlw specific, and almost always there’s a “woman” and “man” dynamic involved. One will be hyper feminised and quite meek/submissive, while the other is very masculine in their behaviour, often larger than the femme, and extra points if they make them dress like a teenage boy.
- it’ll come off as fetishisation if there’s an absurd amount of gays in the story, almost every single relationship will be wlw when real life isn’t like that at all
- and lastly, they somehow never ever face any sort of homophobia. It’ll often be set in a modern time and everything will reflect reality, except how everyone is apparently just fine and dandy with everyone being a lesbian. These women seemingly never gave any sort of struggles to do with their sexualities

Long story short, don’t make them lesbians unless you actually have good reason to, it’ll impact the story in a meaningful way, and you treat them like actual human beings that will have faced struggles

Okay, but why do lesbians have to suffer homophobia to be considered legit? The author makes up the rules for that world, they could be in a safer part of said world or it just might not exist. Or maybe the author just doesn't want homophobia in their story. An author creating fiction can say this reflects our world except Coca-Cola doesn't exist, and they can because they're the author.

It sucks that lesbian characters have to have a 'good' reason to exist as opposed to their heterosexual counter parts. They have to be more impactful and meaningful and be perfect WlW couples without a hint the gender roles they were likely raised to conform to.

I wouldn’t really call having multiples of a medium you consistently use a hoard though.

Pic related, I have a fuckton of watercolour paints, but they all actually add some sort of value to my work in that I actually use them and they all serve some sort of purpose.

What I meant with my original post is that many youtubers seem to buy supplies just for the hell of buying them and then showcase them in a single video, then these supplies are never ever used again. They’re often not even displayed or within reach. I feel like these supplies could all very easily be given away, whether it’s to their followers or donated to a community centre/school/shelter, and all those supplies would actually be used rather than just rotting away at the back of their clutter drawer. A lot of their studio tours consist of showcasing all the many many supplies they have that no one person could ever make use of and they’re just carelessly tosses around. I’m not saying anyone is entitled to the things they’ve bought, but they should be more mindful of their purchases and stop excessively buying all of these supplies imo

Her frugalness weirded me out but it seems a lot of English people have this particular mindset, quantity over quality - but they also often will splurge in a not particularly important area, especially if you compare it to something like quality that won’t fall apart after two washes.

She buys so many expensive things like a sticker printer, but she raids the discount bin at an already cheap store? This whole video was uncomfortable, from the gushing of things only being a few pounds reduced to the majority of purchases being Disney

Why have so many anons been kissing waffles ass? Here and in the baylee thread there’s also been a Stan counting down to her reaching a million, what’s the point in discussing her if she doesn’t have any milk.

First off, this thread is in Off Topic for a reason.

Secondly, the reason why some of us are so positively inclined towards Waffles probably has something to do with her being perceived as a positive influence in the online art community, particularly for the younger audience demographic.

Some of us also just happen to believe in constructive criticism and being happy for others when they succeed.

I hope that answered some of your question.

I got the 36 set and I'll be honest, they're not worth it. M Graham has a similar consistency to them in that they are sticky, but M Graham is a superior brand if you live in the US. Also, the earthtone range is a friggin joke, their yellow ochre is a 3 pigment blend when it should be a single pigment. Also, a couple of colors in the set are not lightfast, such as their ultramarine light and a few of their earth tones and sap green. People praise their paints as being super vibrant, which is great an all, but tinting them down is a bit tricky. Another point to note is that trying to buy the tubes separate from a set is rather expensive, which sucks but again M Graham is a better alternative in when it comes to price and reliability. Honestly, I regret getting these paints, I got them after seeing a few videos from PearFleur and wish I hadn't.

I got the 24 set recently, it’s a really good price on amazon and I love them. I’m not crazy about granulation personally and only one of the colors in the 24 set has granulation (one of the blues can’t remember which) some of the pigment mixing are a bit odd like one anon said but I don’t really mind as I try to only mix single or double pigment colors, but everyone’s different I think there great though and if you live in the us jacksons art supply sells single tubes at a great price

Yes, absolutely agree, I'm all for lesbian and black people representation, even if they are just black or gay for the heck of it and it does not contribute to the characters personality or story at all. Or it is the point of the story that they are the only gay lesbian in a community of white heteros. That is all fine but I absolutely despise characters or storys that are purely written for the purpose of having a gay or black character with no further depth. E.g. Zahra is black, sexuality lesbian, likes her black skin, hobbys looking at her beautiful fat black body in the mirror, dislikes homophobes, racists and fatphobia, who does she look up to herself because she is a beautiful fat black lesbian goddess. This is a case of really bad writing, the only way I could see how this could be saved is if she was the only one in the story like this and it was about a narcist who comes to realize there is more in the world. But a lot of stories tend to have all characters as plain and unrounded as this and that is just bad writing but people love it because "black lesbian representation"

Jackson's selling the 10ml tubes for a good price, depending on the colour. I want to grab one that is similar to Prussian green, but of course Mijello has to put a different colour name.

Honestly? Just go with the bigger option, it’s more economic in the long run because you won’t run out so fast and it’ll cost less than it would to replace it, but it may be cheaper to get the 10/15ml tube and fill pans with it if you can find it reasonably priced or on sale anywhere.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see. I live in Latin America and prices of art materials shipped from US eBay sellers are ridiculously over priced, over twice the price of the original item. Jackson's at least has something like a £3 shipping so I can pile it up with other orders (like Mijellos Prussian green and a small, postcard-sized watercolor pad). And given the ridiculously underpriced currency of where I live, every American penny can save up in the cost+shipping is worth it.

What annoys me about Waffles is that she's really ignorant when it comes to art supplies, and art in general. Sometimes she'll say things that are just flat out wrong without bothering to look it up before she does her voice overs.

She's also one of those people who seems to be allergic to "expensive" art supplies, or doesn't understand why certain things cost more than others. Or she'll repeat things she's heard that are flat out wrong. It's a minor gripe but it's always bugged me.

That, and how she doesn't understand how to use watercolors and ignores people telling her to stop scraping the paint back and forth like she's using markers.

Also, does any one else get slightly irked at how much prettier she draws herself? I know artists tend to embellish themselves a bit, and so many will look cuter because of the style, but she makes herself as thin as a model with bombshell waves and it’s just not .. accurate in the slightest.

you are in a business that grooms failure, and you expect to be handed money and a silicon valley lifestyle on a silver platter? someone didnt work enough 9 to 5 jobs to appriciate making money period, let alone on the art they make, and you can tell. i wish i could make money drawing the same hipster, same face syndrome, 'not-like-other-girls' looking bitches in every illustration, but alas, i have bills to pay, and my time goes to paying them in a way that doesnt include a luck-based lottery on 'how cool uwu' my fanart is.

did a little digging because these tweets royally pissed me off, in her about page on her website, it says she got a BFA from laguna college of art an design.

you should be able to draw anything you're asked to, but once you're working, i don't think sameface is a problem for illustrators. see every book you loved as a kid.

someone like robert mcginnis, who worked constantly and probably did every book cover from the sixties on had horrible sameface and even samebody, outside of hair color after a point all of his girls look exactly alike. i think it's more what you do with it. his use of color etc. is amazing and his layouts are also really pleasing. being an old dude he was super informed by the pulps but when we learned about him in history class i got much less concerned about samefacey shit, if you start getting paid, no one's going to care much and it'll be seen as your trademark or look. it's definitely not what we're taught but i think in the end no one cares, look at audrey kawasaki or mark ryden or whoever's hot this second (because i know they're not but can't wake up lol) and tell me that's not absolute sameface.

Yeah a lot of artists make their avatars look cuter/prettier or more interesting than what the look IRL. It's very jarring when you see what the artist really looks like sometimes because they are nothing like their avatar and usually uglier/fatter/balder.

I think the only artist (not a youtube artist though) that I know who makes their avatar uglier than they really are is Katie Tiedrich AKA Akward Zombie. She draws herself with acne, frumpy clothing, with a slouch, very graceless and all around unflattering. I thought she was a dude at first and was honestly surprised when I saw a picture of her. She's not incredibly beautiful or gorgeous or anything but she is way prettier than how she depicts herself.

I hate these "Instagram" Artists, also this is overly nitpicking from me but I can't stand when they put their age on the bio as if they are ¡¡th3 most young prodigy in art!!, lmao, you're not a better artist just because you're 13/15/20

OT so I’ll sage, but why is it so fucking hard to find a decent art community. It’s either misogynists that shit on anything that isn’t poorly drawn anime porn and think they’re leagues ahead of everyone else, concept artists whose work has absolutely no life to it, or absolute beginners who just shit up every single criticism with their two cents. I just want to find a discord or a forum, ANYTHING, full of artists that aren’t toxic or bitter but I all I’ve found are communities full of the above. Honestly I feel like the best way to avoid the first two issues would be to find a female only artist community, there’s probably more diversity in stylisations/career choices too, but even the irl ones I’ve been to are infested with troons. I’m stumped anons, is there a single good art community out there?

Building a decent art community takes time, even years. This means opening the doors to all sorts of people.

My group of artist friends has been going strong for almost ten years now and most of the original members (with the exception of 1) are still active on a daily basis. The key is to choose members not just based on their skill level, but on their creativity, willingness to improve and on their quality as people. Sometimes this means accepting novices. Those novices will eventually improve and then help others do the same.

I've been in a few exclusive groups that only accept 'skilled artists' and those tend to burn out quick because you'll end up with a lot of big egos and clashing personality when skill level is your only criteria for accepting new members. But being surrounded by only novices can also be a bad thing as it can stunt your growth as an artist. The key is finding that happy medium.

There is a lolcow discord going around, but it might not be the best place for starting a community because a lot of people are not going to want their art/social media accounts to be associated with a gossip site.

Good luck with your search.

I don't think your outlining is very accurate to how i visualize the anatomy, but i get your point.

I don't think the upper body is that much of an issue, one of the many perks of drawing in a heavily stylised style is not having to adhere to absolute realism after all.

As someone who couldn't afford a computer and drawing pad to do ANY of that at her age, I happen to think it's impressive and shows a lot of practised skill.

I'm not saying it's prodigy levels but the majority of artsy teens online aren't at that level of detail, rotation, and rendering of gradient colour.

But idk, I'm not an art teacher. Maybe kids today progress faster at that age than I thought.

I don’t see how that is at all relevant, plenty of 14 year olds don’t have access to drawing tablets, they just use paper instead. It’s just that these kids will be passionate about art and practice it for fun, money has absolutely nothing to do with it

>Maybe kids today progress faster at that age than I thought


I wouldn’t say kids are progressing any faster as much as it is that they have platforms to showcase their work and have limitless resources to learn from

>I sure wonder why so many of them seem to admire stagnated and low effort artists like lavendertowne online kek


Beginners tend to not admire those not too far ahead of themselves as they’re at achievable levels, plus youtubers are better liked for their personalities than their skills.

We were literally just discussing the digital portfolio from back when she was 14, an age when few have their own disposable income.

That's why in this case, and any other medium that requires some form of premium materials, I believe money can matter a whole lot in regards to someone's early growth.

But it's whatever.
I'm not gonna derail the thread by arguing about class inequality and how many people are outright discouraged from pursuing art (for example in strict muslim families) with a rando artisté on lolcow.

Oh yes anon, you’re absolutely right, her skills at 14 have absolutely EVERYTHING to do with disposable income and nothing to do with her own hard work. Povo kids might as well just give up I guess.

For all you know she was using a second hand tablet on the family computer in the living room, it doesn’t at all reflect her own disposable income - most kids get birthday gifts.

>how many people are outright discouraged from pursuing art (for example in strict muslim families)


Listen mate, not my fault your Muslim parents told you not to draw and if they’re so strict that was probably the least of your problems, I don’t see why you’re getting so fucking ass blasted that I had the nerve to point out that at age 14, when she was a beginner, she made beginner mistakes. It was disingenuous for you to say she was better than the youtubers ITT. And like another anon said, being better than Rae or Baylee is no achievement

>What pointers would you have given her to improve her art? What are these glaring beginner mistakes in your opinion?


If you’re at the level that you want some rando artisté on lolcow to hold your hand guide you through what her beginner mistakes were and how to correct them (which she clearly doesn’t need help with because she got better) then you should go work on your fundies and not shit up the thread by critiquing others when you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I have no idea what they’d be like in humid places as I live somewhere extremely dry, but even here the paint stays sticky in my travel palette
Con: I always somehow get it on my fingers and it takes much longer to dry so I can close said palette
Pro: the colours are so vibrant and the honey makes the paint very easy to rewet and immediately get a highly pigmented result

If you’ve only ever used cotmans before I’d recommend just getting a few small tubes from different brands so you can get a taste for what you like - student grade don’t vary too much outside of how much filler they use whereas with artist grade you’ll have things like single/mixed pigments, granulation and transparency to consider. In the end it all comes down to individual taste and whether or not you’re going to display or sell originals

In my opinion that type of stuff isn't art, just because there's no actual thought or 'artistic opinion' put into the piece, if that makes sense.

Looking at some of her other process shots, I wonder if she's also using a filter to make the line art. Her lines are so meticulous and unnecessarily detailed for something that'll be covered up by the quote unquote rendering. I attached another piece of hers to show what I mean. There's so many tiny lines that are gone in the final image. It reminds me of those paint by numbers kits. People don't sketch like this.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that I kinda agree with Jacquelin. This doesn't apply to every artist, but there are people out there with very unique styles in regards to their consistent use of linework/rendering/theme and when you see someone else draw pictures that look just like the other person's… it's a bit iffy to me.

Of course, this is all subjective and most cases of "art style theft" can be bottled down to all art is stealing + artists often influence each other so BUT I will say sometimes it really does feel like people are deliberately copying someone else's whole gimmick just so they can cash on it.

Nonetheless, it's very hard to actually argue this and as such it's mostly a dead topic IMO

Personally, I don’t understand the argument here because there seems to be a limit where people will straight-up hate a person due to their style looking too similar to another (more bigger artists).

Just took a look at their instagrams. The work is pretty similar but then again all they both draw are portraits of edgy girls with bold makeup which is the heavy standard for 70% of today's popular artists lol

They're similar styles but the concept is unoriginal AF and to waste time fretting over this is to give oneself a headache for pleasure.

No. 371898

I feel like most people are just trying to piggy back off the success of popular artists…. like person (x) becomes popular so a ton of people copy person (x). It kinda sucks for the original artist cuz their ideas and concepts end up just being popular lazy tropes that are stolen by 13 year olds desperately trying to get popular or adults who can’t be fucked to put in some effort to make their art somewhat theirs so they just kinda ride on the coat tails of another successful artist.

But would you argue that it isn’t a coincidence that some artists ‘suddenly develope’ The same style as said popular artists?

I feel like there should be a limit to how much you copy another artist. Being a carbon copy of another artist is not okay to me.

But my reasons for being against it is different from the usual arguments I hear.

It's not the art of "stealing" itself that bothers me. Rather, I feel that when a young artist is doing everything EXACTLY like another artist they're stiffing their own creativity and becoming the poor man's version of that bigger, more popular artist. Worse is when they copy from an artist that lacks technical skill and then go on to repeat those mistakes instead of trying to learn the fundamentals.

That being said I've come across very few exact carbon copies of other artists. Usually it's just people taking inspiration from the artists that they look up to (which is okay to me)

No. 372270

>>372269
I mean, sage, but this.

The problem is that a lot of beginner artists don't know how to pump the brakes when they're trying to emulate a style. Many of them lack the ability to edit themselves, so it ends up being a lot of symbol drawing. Plus they don't have a grasp on how to incorporate studies into their art, if that's something they're looking to do, not everyone who draws is interested in studying their fundamentals.

Imo the reason most artists have boring backgrounds is because they’re just drawing something because it’s pretty/easy, not because they want the drawing to actually represent something (other than prettyness). So start by asking what you want to represent and work backwards from there. Don’t just start looking up “easy leaves tutorials” or “cute patterns for backgrounds” just my 2cents.

What I’ve found is that the backgrounds which try to communicate a “message” or a mood of the illustration helps a lot. Try referencing a lot of real life images for their lighting/inspiration, or even some movies, or, as anon (>>37241) said, look at background artists’ work.
There’s also this thing called rule of thirds, which is a simple principle, but it really helps in composing the image

I’m not. There are plenty of services available to obtain reference photos that are specifically for artists to use, or artists can take their own photographs using people and models. This is the information that should be shared instead of a bunch of Illya Kushinov imitators saying it’s fine to photobash any photography they find.

You're acting like photographers own human anatomy. Besides the rough pose and facial expression nothing was copied from the image. Both of which are not creditable to the original artist (in this case the photographer). The specific combination of lighting, pose, background, model, acting colors, grading, focus point, lens usage etc THAT belongs to the artist.

Maybe those people with 'crap art' are self aware and want to improve so they are chill with unsolicited crit because it actually helps them toward their goal of being half decent.

Plus I've seen several professional artists offer unsolicited crit. It's really just a case of people who like to give criticism unsolicited, also tend to enjoy receiving it as well. I like receiving crit, no matter the situation, solicited or unsolicited. I stopped giving it unsolicited years ago because I recognized that a lot of people obviously didn't like it, but I hate that that is the standard just because I miss getting criticism all the time.

People need to accept critique maturely because it isn’t going anywhere but why should we encourage morons to build platforms on bad advice they dont even understand.

It's not wrong for linework have the same weight to it. It's just a matter of preference and some things just look better with it. Like pin designs. So I wouldn't say it's wrong or bad.

Same with colors, if they are planning products and stuff to sell, it's good that they work well together. People collect pins so it's nice they look good together, kinda like from the same collection. If everything they make would be different, it could get really messy.

Meyoco's palette tones are actually moreso saturated. Pastels can be used very well when applied properly, like most rococo painters did. but a lot of the times cartoonists use them in a super boring way without enough deeper tones to bring it all to a balance.

To all the anons that think unsolicited critique is overwhelmingly a good thing - would you feel the same way if complete strangers gave you unsolicited advice in other aspects of your life? After all, they’re just trying to help.

I don’t see why artists are expected to gracefully accept all unsolicited advice and critiques of their work (something which is usually very personal), but other people aren’t expected to do the same in their careers.

Plus, most unsolicited critiques just boil down to ‘you’re bad at this! This is wrong!! But I have no idea how to actually fix these problems as I myself don’t have good enough foundational knowledge to avoid these problems so I’m not going to offer any advice.’ Another issue is that critiques will often completely ignore what is good/correct in a piece, when it is equally important to let the artist know what they’re doing so they keep applying these aspects to their future pieces.

Just food for thought. And I do agree, majority of the anons ITT have mediocre skills at best and have no idea what they’re talking about other than a very beginner level of seeing problems but not knowing how to fix said problems.

I think giving unsolicited critique is a shitty thing to do if not asked for, but I also think a popular IG artist can take the high road and ignore critical comments, especially when she is most assuredly receiving overwhelmingly positive comments. Instead of throwing a fit and making yourself look like a melodramatic asshole, leave a clear message that you do not want any critique and leave it at that.

I think the issue here is less about approving of unsolicited criticism and more the way she presented her opinion while also throwing in "btw u guys who do it are bad at art lol." It's super petty, and it's the reason why she's getting blasted on twitter.

How dare other people have different opinions from you.
People are salty about the concept that maybe when they tear into popular artist's art to be petty they might not actually always be giving good advice, maybe they're actually just as shitty as the artist they're mocking. Just look at redline/redraw there, half the art there looks just as bad as that of the cows we mock.
Meyco's acting cunty but she ain't wrong. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say most of the critics here aren't great, or even decent artists either. It's classic Dunning-Kruger. And that's fine, cause this isn't /ic/, it's lolcow, art quality doesn't matter, it's the pretty drama we all care about.

that wasn't a criticism. I am saying that it is extremely hypocritical of her to suggest that her own anatomy is good when she puts a squashed baby head with bulging eye sockets on top of a terrible skeleton shape.

I am saying that she is a hypocrite who doesn't apply good color theory or lineart or anatomy to her work. Objectively, what she does can't be evaluated seriously by any academic or industrial standard.

My point is that she is suggesting that her art is holier than thou, (anatomy, color, lines), but it is pretty much just trash draped in kawaii tricks.

She sells pins and decorations that little girls and childish women and other embarrassing people like, but she doesn't work in comics or animation or illustration or have many mutual followers in the industry, because her art isn't actually developed or skilled enough to do anything like that.

I mean, they have points. People accept and want criticism in different ways.

In a classroom, work, etc. environment I would expect feedback from my peers, colleges, and bosses.

Posting online to Instagram, twitter, etc. not so much, especially when you consider that
1. Many people don't know how to give critique and a lot of it boils down to "This looks bad/wrong/not my personal tastes and you should fix it/i have no idea how to help you fix it" when they didn't commission the work. 2. think that people have to listen to their criticisms, which gets ugly and complicated when you have two people who think you should listen to them but they have contradicting criticisms. 3. People online can have no sense of personal boundaries.

Mix all of that together and it is likely why people dislike giving and recieving critiques they didn't ask for. Not to mention, giving critique is a learned skill… which means whatever criticism you give to someone is also subject to criticism because getting critique on how you give critiques is the only way to get better at giving critiques. Now, if someone were saying not to give critiques in a school, work, etc. environment I'd be more inclined to say they simply have to grow thicker skin because some people really do only want asspats and compliments.

I do agree with the sentiment though that beginner artists have no place critiquing the work of established artists.

tbf beginner artists really shouldn't be giving critiques to intermediate, advanced, and established artists. yeah, you don't have to be a chef to know if a dish needs salt but you also do have to know whether or not salt is even the right seasoning for the dish, whether the choice to add or not have salt is viable for the dish, etc. a lot of things that a chef with more experience than one who just started or one who isn't knows. likewise, it's the same with art. sure a non-artist or beginner can point out what is wrong, but only someone who has a relatively or even semi-grounded understanding of fundamentals can point out when something needs to be fixed and how to fix it.

it's the difference between "this looks weird" and "this isn't working the way you want it too because the colors are too saturated"

I care about his art, that's why I'm in artist salt.
From an artists perspective, I think it's bad.
I get that he's categorized himself as a drama youtuber in the art community but as an artist youtuber himself he's fundamentally and stylistically lacking.
If I saw it as it is now trending on art forums (which it wouldn't) I wouldn't click on them or comment.

He brushes off other artists he disagrees with as just being mainstream, while his art himself is boring and ugly.
Anyone has potential and he's in his twenties and claims he's going to art school so he can learn and grow.

As an artist I feel like he wishes he could garnish more criticism because no one actually comments on his body as work, more his deadpan humour.

No. 376137

>>376133

Say what you will about his art at least it's not pretty girl facing left for the millionth time. I do hope that as he learns, his art has more of a direction and that he grows out of the youtube drama phase that younger people especially, tend to use to gain a following. I think he chose that kind of video content because otherwise, nobody would really pay attention to his art.

I do think though, that he thinks he has some kind of clout for being outspoken. To me he's just kinda boring.

No. 376138

>>376133
I honestly don't care about his art, because that's not the point, his art is not "ugly" is not your typical anime shit, he is learning and that's fine, he criticize people attitude, not their art to be fair, like holly shitty attitude, tracing and stuff. so tbh, his art is really irrelevant, but his persona is pretty brave to call "popular" artists shitty personality out. idk, this smells like vendetta to me.

If you throw shit within the art community and have your name/persona attached to it, of course your body of work is going to come under scrutiny.

It might not be ugly, but it’s boring. It’s the really bland and personality lacking concept art stylisation that thousands of men within the concept industry all draw. It’s so lacking in personality that if you were to chuck it onto a gaming concept art site you wouldn’t be able to tell whose is whose other than beginner or professional

It’s an ART community, that’s what it’s always going to boil down to unless it’s some huge scandal. I’m not sure why so many of you anons find it shocking that his art is being commented on when, again, he is commenting on the art community

No. 376169

I agree here. He probably just uses the art in his video as a set dressing because so many art commentators on youtube either dont draw, or draw like shit. I think he partly uses his art as a stamp of authority of some kind so that the general audience thinks that he's a step above. I mean it works, he stands out, and I get the appeal. But that doesn't make the art or him any less bland.

He's just another drama youtuber with art as a costume, at least for right now.. it's nothing to write home about.

No. 376204

I think the reason it's dumb you guys are complaining about his art is that the entire point of his channel is stated to make money on topics that get views.

Personally I don't mind it when people quote-tweet my art because I'm just happy to get some attention and love, but there are times/specific people where you get the vibe they're quote-tweeting so they can get the attention which is kinda… just sad TBH a lot of artists only get a few likes/retweets so to have some of the attention "taken" from you can be disappointing. it's a lot better for the artist to just retweet & reply with affection!

but like i said, in general any type of positive feedback is better than no feedback.

in the case of some japanese/korean/artists who don't speak english well it's also quite stressful to have people quote-tweet your art because people often quote tweet to shame others and maybe you can't tell which is which.

As long as it's just once in a while when someone has a product they genuinely don't enjoy, it doesn't really bug me. Like, in comparison to someone like Rae who will say that a product is overpriced or stupid when she just doesn't understand it, Waffles at least seems aware that it's specifically because she doesn't really get pastels, not because pastels are inherently terrible. Like, the video really wasn't that bad or edgy, it just seemed like someone trying out something they didn't like and not really knowing what to say.

No, but making exaggerated vomiting and hissing noises when you first see the medium as an attempt to be funny does- so is going out of your way to mention how much you don't like it every other sentence, or using a random piece of cardboard for your first attempt and wondering why it doesn't look great, and later having to resort to a default cartoony style to make something that looks "good" because your attempt at realism turned out like shit, and you didn't want to try again.

Holy hell, she was annoying in this video. In the Paletteful Packs unboxing where she got pastels, she didn't even attempt to use them. In this one she started with "maybe I should look up a tutorial" and then didn't follow through with that.

She talks a big game about wanting to learn and always trying to improve but when push comes to shove, she's stuck in a rut like Kasey.

An artist I found on Tumblr posted their progress in the span of a decade, and I thought it was a little lacking for such a long time and it made me question what would even be the general course of improving for an artist? It reminded me of earlier in the threads were anons talked about Danicia Sills lacked of improvement as well as this other artist.

the thing that does show the most improvement is the july 2018 piece. if around 2012, more images like that began to show up, then i'd say there was improvement. but instead, we see the same cutesy, pastel colored, 3/4ths chibi anime style for 10 yrs straight.

I wholly agree with this. Marketing is a huge part of being a popular artist on Instagram and marketing, unlike what some people think, is an actual science with a lot of studying on markets, audiences, product, plans of action, etc.

I get that artists are creatives and don't like numbers or limiting themselves in their art, but fact of the matter is the best way to grow on social media nowadays is to study these platforms and implement thought out plans based on your findings (which is really not that hard to do lmao)

Earlier this year there were a lot of artist on Twitter complaining about the prices of Cintiq, especially their newer model that was marketed to me more affordable and I wondered why it was ok for artist to make threads about how shitty it was for Apple and Cintiq to put out expensive shit but if someone dare says an artist is overcharging it’s the most disgusting shit ever.

No. 377599

>>377579
While they can both be considered luxury items to an extent, there are key differences;

Cintiqs and Ipads are luxuries in the sense that they’re not a necessity to everyone, but you have to keep in mind that they’re marketed as work tools. They’re also not custom made to order, the parts within don’t at all represent the cost of the product, and it costs them pennies to produce. These things are also made on a mass scale and the workers have salaries. Honestly speaking, the prices are also inflated because they don’t have much competition to force them into consumer friendly prices. Continuously raising prices while the quality of the product doesn’t go up enough to justify it (especially considering these companies hold back on tech purely because they can) is hugely anti-consumer.

Artists more often than not aren’t overpricing their products, most products are custom to order (commissions and such), the artist isn’t able to purchase their stock in bulk as large as large scale companies are able to which significantly brings down cost per piece, artists income is commission based not a salary, handmade items will always have a higher value due to the nature of the product and it’s intimacy, and also there is absolutely no need to own artwork - sure, it will increase the quality of your life (same way something like movies do), but it doesn’t feed/clothe/bathe,shelter you and it isn’t used for work related purposes either

Compound that with the fact that in certain industries it's more or less required to own a cintiq or something similar, and that a lot of art programs are now subscription based, which in and of themselves can get pricey if you have to buy different programs from different developers.

I think people overpay for their programs and devices which leads to a sort of mania where they want to recoup their costs and validate their purchases.

And csp being as generous as they are with sales I feel as though their subscription model for iPad is justified. At least it isn't $50 a month. I feel as though it's just a better value overall.

The pirating would have barely made a dent in their sales. Here are their current prices, these are individual ones rather than business - plenty of people either freelance or are expected by their employer to also work from home

They’re honestly making exponentially more than their programs are worth tbh and I hope some true competition comes along soon. You see ridiculous prices for anything that doesn’t have competition purely because they can get away with it

"Regular $82.99/mo" and only "your first month of adobe stock is free" are they saying at that price adobe stock is only included for one (1!) month and after that it costs extra on top? These prices are outragous, especially for what they are. Who actually pays these prices? Why do they even have customers at this point? People who pay these prices no questions asked are the real problem, letting companies get through with bs like this…

I also just noticed that these are offers that end first of March, so most would be spending over $50 USD every month - purely because this is the industry and is what is expected of you to use

$600 every single year for some software.

Photoshop was around $500-$600 when it was released on discs and adobe would give you a discount when upgrading to a newer release. I just remember that because a local artist gave me one of her old versions of photoshop to use and she kept her registration info with it.

This is why I'm so glad I bought my license. I got it right at the cusp and decided owning with one large payment would be better than renting. I wish they still had the option. It made sense. You could rent for a month if you needed whichever software for one project or just to try out, or buy it if you used it all the time.

Procreate is great but it’s meant more for painting than comics, so it doesn’t have certain tools like text or shape building. Unlike Adibe though the people running Procreate are working hard on improving it. The last update included clipping masks and quick shapes which are a massive help. If they continue to update the app I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see many people choose it over other options.

I tried to use CPS on the iPad but I found the interface unbearable. Took up wayyy too much screenspace and there were too many options for non-important things.

The only real downside to Procreate/the iPad is your file size. I bought the cheapest model and while I don’t regret it at all, I can only use up to 14 layers on Procreate, which has made quite inventive.

Weirdly I can go up to 40 layers easily on Medibang paint, so I don’t know what that’s all about.

* sage, sorry

No. 378169

>>378159
Your layer count is greatly dependant on your dpi/canvas size. I have a 2nd gen ipad pro 128gb and I either work on a 300dpi 5000x5000, which gives me a max of 17 layers, or a 300dpi 3000x3000, which gives me 55 layers.

I'm not sure how large you work, but if you get into the habit of cropping your canvas if you end up not utilizing the entire thing, it helps a lot with layer caps.


I also want to add that you can animate on CSP. I don't think we'll be seeing anything like that on something like procreate for a long time, if ever. But Preocreate has come such a long way in just the year I've been using it and is amazing for sketching/painting, esp at it's price point.

No. 378173

>>378169

I work at roughly 3000 x 3000 and get 18 layers max :/ It’s a nuisance but I have the regular iPad (2018) which costed 340€ so eh. Can’t complain.

Same thing for animation, by the way. Can’t do any because the iPad can’t handle it. I don’t animate so it doesn’t bother me, but yeah, if anyone here is planning on working with big files / lots of layers you should invest in the iPad Pro.

Considering how portable, easy to use and capable these tablets are I honestly think they’re worth the price over a big Cintiq, but that’s just a-me.

Anybody else notice how Minnie Small pretty much only does studies and random mini paintings? I saw this video and I was quite impressed by the drawings, but it made me realize over the past 2 years or so she only really drew studies, those mini landscapes in a limited palette (which were meant to be color stufies I think?) and the small houses.

I don’t think you need to draw complex pieces to be a ~real artist~ but I find it funny how someone who talks A Lot about still being on the path to find her own way as a an artist only ever does small stuff that doesn’t actually require much thought or growth.

No. 378356

>>378284

I don't really watch minnie so this isn't about her per se but just in general

i would say that small things don't actually require thought or growth because like you said, you don't need to draw complex pieces. Doing large or complicated pieces that require you to push yourself a lot can be overwhelming at times and freeze someone into inaction because it can feel like it is no longer managable. idk does anyone else get those feelings of trying to do something large scale and being afraid to even put the pencil to paper even though you know you need to improve?

i would count something as progress as long as someone learns something about what they were doing.

I know we have a Baylee thread, but it’s utter shit, and honestly none of the art tubers should’ve gotten one they’re not nearly milky enough to warrant it (I’m surprised no one has to tried to make a Kasey one).

Anyway, the amount she shops is so uncomfortable. I swear she is constantly buying enough things to make haul videos, her voice and expressions are so husk like in this video. I feel like this is something that’s gonna happen to most of the art tubers tbh, they’re gonna get really popular and then start loving all the love for their craft and just become shells of the artists they used to be.
Baylee was never amazing, but her personality and passion were enjoyable and now all she does is shop for supplies that rot away in her room

Why do so many art tubers do hauls so frequently? I get that it’s exciting to buy things and that the dopamine rush is addictive, but with how frequent they seem to be with copious amounts of artist quality brands, which are by no means cheap, it seems like some other aspect of their life must be taking a hit

Nitpick but will she ever stop using teal in all her pieces, she even said in this video that she was gonna get multiple different types because it’s a colour she uses a lot

Sage for the sperging, but I don't understand why she would waste her money on the radiant paints. They're all tints, that means you could mix the colors easily yourself, or get an approximation.

The only one that seems remotely useful to me is the radiant white.

And even if you do find a use for them, which seems to be mostly for accent colors, you know that Baylee is going to end up using them straight out of the tube and then complain when they're extremely intense, especially compared to the other paints she has.

I can see why people buy convenience paints like that, helps also avoid running out of the colour while working on multiple projects, but they’re by no means useful to a beginner - she should be learning how to mix all the colours, but I really don’t see her doing anything with all these paints other than displaying them

This style reminds me so much of the old art noveau stuff with women just lounging decoratively on armchairs all the time. it’s kinda sad that in this day & age of feminism so many artists works depict these dainty little women as beautiful ornamented objects. The displacement of small creatures into spaces they don’t belong eg. the fish in the backpack just makes me think these female artists enjoy representing themselves as these vulnerable little creatures.. like, it’s cute but is that honestly all you want your art to say about beauty and nature sand the female firm? That it’s cute and small and don’t you just wanna cuddle it?

Renata Celi is a Brazilian artist YouTuber with a very…. Meh mediocre art that has nearly 1M subscribers. I found her a while ago while looking out for art material reviews suited for my reality and tailored for the stuff I like to draw. Thought her content would be interesting and (expecting too much) with a little more technical information (think of Teoh To Chie and Nattosoup's kind of technical information but a little less)
It's just disappointing. Her audience is clearly tailored for children (no not even teenagers, it's too dumb) as she talks putting on a voice of child entertainers you would find in parties. She also always puts on the "like challenge" as in "hit that like button with your elbow or key smash" shit like that.
Haven't watched the entire video because I gave up halfway but she puts around EIGHT ADS in a ELEVEN MINUTE VIDEO. She's currently living in the US (Florida I guess since she claims she lives near a Disneyland?) and still can't explain the translation of "chisel nib" even tho she just said the translation of it a few seconds before showing the words in English. She feels like a weird mix of jazza and pretty girl artist but more mediocre.

Why is art style all really young artists care about?

I’m not much older than a lot of these people, but I never had this issue - I’m perfectly happy to just try out anything that catches my fancy, so I can’t at all wrap my head around why so many young artists obsess over finding their own style and then refuse to budge once they have something even remotely recognisable.

I skipped to the part where she talked about the Earth design and she said that vitiligo seems like an "awesome interesting skin condition"….. no please don't do that vitiligo is an illness for god's sake.

Because popular artists talk about/promote it.

Case and point; the 'draw this in your style' meme. a pefect example of the emphasis on artistic signature over core fundementals of art. it is a social media trend, and young artists get most of their inspiration and motivation from social media, even more so with people that have found fame and success on those platforms. they see the same image hundreds of times, but each is slightly different because of the style that a certain artist holds. to a new artist, or one not as well versed as other artists, they see that style makes each artist unique, and work to imitate the success they see, but no one wants to be accused of copying. so, instead, the ever growing search for style continues, but with the end goal of being seen as original, not enjoyable (laverndertowne is the perfect example here, i mean for christ sake, her art is so overly stylized that it is more toddler heatwave vomit than art)

the sooner these kids learn that nothing is original, the better off they are, and the search for the style will end. you need to learn the rules of art before you break them, best advice i ever got from a professor. unfortunately, most kids in search of their own style are skipping that step, and rarely any of the artubers actually talk about this cause 'who the fuck will click on a video talking about art fundementals when i can do another unboxing or prompt list or art supply haul!'

I’ve found that using more expensive and better quality supplies tends to alienate a lot of the more popular youtubers audiences since their viewers are so young and tend to take things way too personally, if you look at older artists or more cinematic channels (think furrylittlepeach or Mateusz Urbanowicz) they use artist quality supplies and don’t shy away from discussing their quality, but these channels have older viewers who also don’t tend to be beginners so I think the creators have a bit more leg room with not having to be hyper aware of how something mundane may offend their audience

Plenty of popular art tubers will get shit flung at them by their audience if they dare speak against Crayola because ‘that’s all I can afford and it’s really good!!!’

What weird advice about watercolour paper. She should have known it was thin because the weight is written on the cover. You don't have to flip the pages to determine thickness, it's on the cover, and if you've been working with watercolour long enough you know what standard weight watercolour paper feels like (also flipping the pages like that damages the product, which is an absolute no no if you haven't bought it yet)

Does anybody else not like Starheavenly? I don't HATE hate her but the stuff she does kind of irks me.

Some things I've picked up by casually watching her videos and going to one livestream.

-She fakes her voice because??? (I was at her stream where she admitted this and i'm still not sure why really)

-She has SUCH CLICKBAITY TITLES (just because you say 'lol clickbait title' in the desc doesn't make u any less shitty lol)

-SUCH BORING SORYTIMES (to sum them up it's just: my fwend wuz kinda mean 2 me, and: my kinda fwend was kinda mean 2 me and traced animay art, oh but they didn't get into art school with traced art technically, and they didnt use traced art in their portfolio either lol the title was clickbait lOL IM SO SELFAWARE)

-She had a stream with her BF and acted like a salty lil baby when describing how much her mom likes her boyfriend (lol he sounded so uncomfortable at some points it was kinda hard to watch)

-Banned a kid on stream for saying stupid jokes like "hippity hoppity women are property" and "my gender is attack helicopter" with no verbal or text warning to stop (they were probably like 10 and regurgitating twitter memes jeez, no need to get your panties in a twist over that- like ur 20- probably twice their age lmao)

-Can't take criticism (She did a redraw and someone said she didn't improve but merely changed style- then she got salty and whined on insta for pity and validation from her 13 year old fans)

-Hasn't uploaded in a month (Might seem irrelevant but it's real suspicious that she stopped posting AFTER she posted about trying to monetize her videos, also it seems her monetization is finally kicking in so OFC she says she's going to post soon haha, desperate for those youtube shekels honey? c;)

Skimmed through her stream to find it. at around 2:18:37 is when there's a whole minute of no audio bc she doesn't want the chat to hear her mom praising her bf?

I would've agreed with you- however the stream was at least half full of children repeating dead memes, the fact that this one child who copy pasted a meme she didn't like got banned without warning rubbed me the wrong way. I mean I can't prove this as the stream was taken down for whatever reason so eh.
And yeah, will admit my list was pretty weak but she seems to hit on all of what I don't like in people/youtubers. As I stated previously, I just don't like her.

this i wild, I actually go to school with her and we are in the same graduating class. I notice a LOT of her work is very very lacking in basic understanding of form and anatomy, it kinda seems like she just wanted to jump into creating her own style and getting a audience over actually honing her craft. But I will also say I've attended 4 years with her, she has a INSANE work ethic, like she works jobs on the side, takes commissions an runs a youtube channel all well taking thesis and 5 classes, I've literally never seen her not drawing. But she repeats the same like no new angles, no new color pallets, idk if she uses reference but i feel like she's not gonna improve if 24/7 she is training her self wrong

It would get the idea across better to draw him as slightly hunched over, to give the feeling that he's so tall he has to squeeze into most spaces. Draw the hands much bigger than the rest of the body to exaggerate the feeling that he's skin and bones, and exaggerate how his clothing hangs off him rather than just giving him a jumper that fits him.

All of these look exactly the same, and have similar elements;

same swirling pattern, same sort of poses (straight up and down), same-ish colors…

which I guess is what she's going for when it comes to a 'theme' and it's supposed to be her, but looking at this set of art, it just makes her look so narcissistic.
I personally don't find the 7 deadly sins theme to be particularly creative, and it's not something that's easy to make unique, but she's very much in her comfort zone with these. they're boring and kind of fugly.

No. 383326

>looking at this set of art, it just makes her look so narcissistic.

Agreed, and I think that could have easily been avoided while she still remained the focus of the theme. All of these still try to make her look good, what with the emphasis on the feminine figure rather than the sun itself. This could have easily been a much more interesting project if she had made this all more representative of how the seven deadly sins personally affect her life, gluttony is the only one that even remotely tries that

Derailing at this point so last time I’ll reply about this, but yes this is literally all I’ve been saying. This photo makes her look like a gremlin when she usually looks really nice, and I don’t see how not wanting an ugly photo of you floating around for tens of thousands of viewers to see is a self-esteem issue as many anons have mentioned (do you guys also think that those that dress up to go out in public also have confidence issues?). If someone posted such an ugly photo of me that does me absolutely no favours while everyone else in the shot gets to pose I’d reevaluate whether they’re really my friend, especially if it’s tied to my artistic career for thousands to see.

Sage for rant and like I said I’ll stop derailing now.

I am so fucking sick of people getting upset with me if I change things up stylistically. I only have a few hundred followers and I still get some people that will throw a fit when I try out something new, I can’t imagine how bad it is for successful artists with big followings. Like I get it, you follow someone because you like their body of work, but shouldn’t you want to see them evolve and grow as an individual?

If it bothers you that much just unfollow, no one wants to hear your whining about ‘nooooo I love your style soooo muuuuch don’t chaaange iiiiit’ whenever an artist does one thing slightly different

No. 383764

Speaking of photo badgers, I’ve noticed recently that it is extremely popular in the pet portrait community, even if the pieces are traditional they’re often at least lightly traced.

the worst part is people will defend it with "b-but that's how they do it in the industry!" yeah, industry concept artists do it, and they do it with their own assets or purchased assets, and they do it to produce concepts quickly for their employer to use internally - it's not a final product. they don't hunt down hot girls on IG and paint over them without even asking (looking at fucking rossdraws).

Oh no, I wasn’t bashing, I do it myself for pet and family portraits. I felt like a piece of shit until I realise pretty much everyone does, even the very highly stylised potraits are lightly traced.

you won’t get even a fraction of the real leslie by just meeting her at a fanmeet. privately she is just poisonous. always negative, passive aggressive when she doesnt get her way, shit talks other artists regularly and makes fun of people for the most inane shit, like physical appearance. Snotgirl was her self insert in many ways.

she’s sweet to artists she wants to suck up to but outside of that tiny group she hates everyone and everything.

Sorry for asking, but do you have details about this? I remember Cyarin telling me her ex gf cheated on her. I honestly get it why, she's getting really stuck up with her temporary instagram fame lol.
