>>505793Calling it a sketchbook is more about relatability than it is transparency, I imagine she has a seperate sketchbook she genuinely sketches in, it’s no secret that internet artists (and often even industry professionals) have a ‘sketchbook’ full of finished illustrations for show
I’m also mutuals with this artist and she’s quite chill and down to earth, her audience is primarily made up of teenagers so I imagine there was a push for her to share whatever knowledge she has. Why are anons ITT so anal about who shares what kind of information in regards to art, those who are serious about studying fundamentals will look for books and courses, beginners and youth are who will look for videos like this;

>>505921>>505962Even when they have access to it, most teenagers aren't interested in learning proper techniques on their own. Most teenagers want to draw whatever media they're interested in, be it video games, anime, cartoons, etc. Obviously some teenagers gravitate away from that stuff and learn proper drawing eventually (good young artists have to come from somewhere after all,) but it's kind of rare. It's why most people who enjoyed art as teenagers were unable to make careers out of it as adults. You sort of have to enjoy the act of drawing/painting so much that you're willing to draw things you don't care about, or even things you hate.
That's why kids who go to art-specific high schools are at sort of an advantage– adults are literally forcing them to learn shit the right way the first time when they're young, before they acquire a bunch of bad habits from drawing animu and shit. I say "sort of" because really all the teachers are doing is
introducing the kids to proper techniques. The onus is on the students to continue perusing that on their freetime/after high school.
Also, art tutorials on Youtube generally aren't the best way to learn, because so many of them contain misinformation and a beginner isn't going to know which ones are worth watching. It's not a coincidence that the best Youtube art tutorials (like pic related) are by people who have already published books on the subject. Honestly, just
read books! Ebooks are usually pretty cheap these days.
Kids who want to learn
will learn, and are more likely to make a career out of art. Kids who don't won't, and that's their problem.

>>506111Tbf though, a youtuber can be more approachable to an aspiring artist than an entire art book or a professional artist due to the skill gap they see. I've also noticed that someone who's mediocre at art (and by that I mean: Somewhat decent but not a pro) can at times relate to the troubles of beginners more than someone who's already a master at their graft. I mean if I think back at when I started drawing, I can barely remember all the things I struggled with but if I think back to just last year, I can easily remember how I overcame my biggest obstacles. Sometimes people need that kind of person more than super experienced artist, just like how at art school those who end up pushing you the most are probably other passionate student rather than just the teachers. People need that safe stepping stone from being a beginner to learning from masters and a lot of youtubers fit nicely into that gap.
Sure a lot of times people end up teaching you some absolute garbage

>>506033I think you guys are pretty far removed from any art industries which is where all the confusion is coming from. This book is for comic book illustration. Illustrators make work for already existing things, like books (sara pichelli).
Studio artists do concept art, paintings, portraits, installations, and are usually making money from galleries, not commissions (marco mazzoni).
ITT the only types of artists discussed are cartoonists, drawers whose only subject is unrealistic imagination people/animals on a freelance basis for commission. They usually do not charge over $100 USD due to a highly saturated market of lots of extremely similar styles. They are usually untrained and haven't entered a field yet because of the lack of a degree so the few who are skilled stand out.

>>506033Actually, Burne Hogarth books are for figure drawing in general, not just comic books. You're not exempt from learning anatomy just because your "art" consists of trash you glued together and stuck in a gallery.

of course nearly every type of artist does have to eventually learn how to draw people. but when an artist trains in a figure course in a classroom setting, we learn from nude models who the school pays to sit on a cold pedestal for 5 hours, not from comic book artists doing weird running action poses. those books are made for a really specific type of outsider artist who cant afford any real life courses and needs to draw moving bodies.

suggested that it was a replacement for life drawing. I was saying that it was better than a Youtube video.
Also, someone being a comic book artist doesn't automatically mean they don't draw from life. Hal Foster drew from life every day from over a decade. Additionally, not all comics are cape shit and action.
Most comics aren't cape shit. You just hear about cape the most because it's what gets the most media exposure.

You can also use watercolors and a watercolor pen, which is what I do. The only problem is that you don't have as much control, and you can't apply the color to your ink original– you have to make a photocopy, or do the colors on a totally different piece of paper and overlay them in Photoshop.
>>507181Nta but plenty of things are non-archival.
One of my professors gave a lecture the other day about how fragile oil paintings done on canvas with acrylic gesso are. He had a twenty-year-old oil painting that literally crumbled off the canvas when he bumped it because when oil cures it gets hard, but when acrylic cures it retains some of its plasticity.
He said that if you wanted your oil paintings to last a long time, you have to either use Italian gesso (which is made of animal skin glue) or switch to something other than canvas, like wood panels.
So if you've ever done oil paintings on acrylic gesso, you're in no place to be throwing shade at people who use Copics.

>>507277>>507248people who use copics or other types of alcohol based markers don't care about longevity, because once the original gets scanned it's pretty much useless to us. Aside from occasional commissions, we mostly sell prints, make merch or do art books.
To be honest painters and other artist constantly screaming at us for using non archival mediums is really exhausting and dumb.
I can go into more details as to why some people choose markers but I doubt anybody cares.

If this person lost

IIRC she has a whole video where she claims to believe buying followers costs a fortune and she could never possibly do that, and claims she just watched her own videos on a loop to increase the view count.

I don't know what the fuck you're on about. Copics don't look like PS, they look like alcohol markers. Something tells me that even if people did "just use Photoshop" you'd act like an elitist to them, too. This kind of crap is why illustrators and fine artists don't always get along. Fine artists can sometimes be really pretentious and judgemental towards illustrators, because illustrators make art for everybody, whereas fine artists just make art for curators and other artists. They don't like that illustrators care about the opinions of the non-artist plebeians and actually want to make a
career out of this thing they love.

also the copic discussion is dumb as fuck, yeah theyre overpriced, theyre still nice if you want a flat, "digital" look and quick vibrant colors in traditional art (because watercolors or pencils are not going to get you that level of predictable, bright colors that easily). just dont sell the originals. can we stop now?

No. 507744
>>507726That's not a fair comparison anon, pigments that fade or change in UV can still be properly stored to last. Marker work can't, it's always fugative, you'll have to scan it.
Spending big bucks on something that will fade is dumb, you can do it if you wanna but it's still dumb.
Marker work can be sold once scanned without those issues tho.
But you really can't compare that to the lightfastness of other mediums while improperly displayed
No. 507762
>>507744IDK, I feel like the last thing I’d want to be lightfast and last for a while is my art, so markers are perfect for me.
On a more serious note, markers like Copics feel nice to use. And I like being close to my medium, but not getting things like paint and water spilling everywhere. It is a clean medium that is vibrant and solid. I, personality, don’t feel the art I create in Photoshop is personal enough. That is why I spend 6+ dollars on a Copic marker. I simply feel more connected to the art-making process with that supply.
I don’t care if my art lasts, I just want to make it, man.
No. 507785
>>507762And that's perfectly fine
I buy almost only lightfast paints and pencils.
But just like I tell people how to take care of a watercolor piece it's important that people, buyers and artists alike are aware of how markers are gonna work, and fade.

>>507809imo it has more to do with fiction than reality.
The biggest problem I see with the divershitty meme is that its disingenuous. I know "soul" is thrown around like a buzzword, but to me its seeing an artist having fun while putting his/her best efforts into improving and refining projects. And these fuckers don't try to go out of the box or innovate/experiment- which you'd do if you actually gave a rats ass about art in the first place. Come on, its all about being creative.
I can go on like a broken record but one last point is that fiction is about making mundane everyday objects appealing, giving life to them. Realism will not automatically make your art 10/10, you still have to make careful decisions on which parts to stylize/idealize or keep realistic. (not excusing the "muh style" crap btw; realism is very important for artist especially beginners; understand how reality works to make their own "believable reality" in their fictional world etc.)

>>508220Samefag, but on that note, I DO see an issue with her posting sexualised nudity on a channel that has a primarily child fan base; like another anon suggested, it would be wisest to instead start up a smaller second channel that is geared towards adults, especially if she wants to be a published children’s book author as editors and publishers do extensive background and social media checks due to the nature of the market (pretty much anything geared towards children will check up on what kind of persons work they are going to promote, unless of course you’re Nickelodeon), sexualised mild nudity may not kill her career, but it’ll certainly make her less desirable due to the risk associated with such a public platform with content that isn’t child friendly

- are they difficult to work with?
- is it easy to get into?
- do they expect high quality art or are fine with intermediate levels as long as it’s self indulgent?
- can you expect to get a decent amount of commissions?
- do certain styles do better than others (say a very simplistic one over semi realistic)?

overall, its what you make of it. a lot of artists have found a decent client base through the fandom.

>do they expect high quality art or are fine with intermediate levels as long as it’s self indulgent? do certain styles do better than others?Look at furry artists similar to your skill and style to you and see what they charge, how much completed commission art they post etc, but also keep in mind if their success comes from being a longtime active community member or from cornering a niche fetish
>can you expect to get a decent amount of commissions? There is no way to say without judging your art and audience interaction against current artists. Often you will get a burst of commissions when you're new because collectors like to get art from every artist they can find, but then it's up to you to keep the momentum going, it can take time to develop a fanbase.
If you like drawing furries then it's worthwhile because you only it anyway, but if you're not interested in furies and you're not a god level of skill then you will make easier money in less time at McDonald's. Please also be aware that /ic/ sometimes just outs artists who have secret furry or kink alts for fun, so only do it if you don't care about being found out.

I found out that many artists dislike him for many of these tutorials, where he doesn't give any advice aside from "They MOST look pretty!" And the way he is on DeviantArt, by not taking any advice from anyone and mass blocking.
While other artists defend him by saying that his books were a great inspiration with really helpful advice when they were younger.
I don't own any of his books, however for the stuff I have seen, I don't like how much he insist on drawing girls pretty all the time, I don't want to sound like someone who screams for diversity in media, that's not my problem, what does annoy me is that it gives me that "Only draw boring pretty girls" artist vibe that has been discussed a lot on these threaths.

>>509314Chris Hart is an old cow who got a ton of “how to draw manga” books published way back in the nineties cuz manga was just super hard to get back then. He’s obviously improved now but these are some of his pages of those old books. But he’s just a pretty standard cartoonist, nothing is helpful from him or those books, they’re basically like jazza’s or baylee jae’s books where they are just how to draw in their particular style without any foundations.
Anon you’re better off with the How To Draw Manga books that come from Japan published by Graphic-sha or Japanime (they’re usually the ones with white covers) and don’t get any how to draw with anyone with a western name, they usually range from OK to “saw an anime once twenty year’s ago”

is it okay to warn the art community about them (based solely on art, not behavior)? should you unfollow/ignore it? i see a lot of arguments against artists that draw questionable ships or fetish art, even if those artists aren't exactly trying to hide the fact that they create this kind of art. is it still deceptive to make nice art, but draw something deemed culturally unsavory or irresponsible?
i think there's a

If you want to protect children from anything then you just don't let them use the internet. I agree that using child-friendly art styles for degenerate art can lead children into consuming it, but that's why parents need to pay attention to what their children are actually consuming. Content makers should be responsible in marking their adult content as such, but it's not their fault if a child goes ahead and views it anyway.

It is not MY JOB to monitor what YOUR CHILDREN watch/view on any social media platform.

Not only that, the language barrier makes it even more difficult in cases like this. Who gives a fuck about the kids? It is the parent's job to monitor what their kids do, no individual artist can assure whoever is viewing their work is of age since lying about age has been around since the internet's inception. If you don't want the precious babies to see cartoon dick, be an actual adult and parent your child. Block the accounts you don't like, if it is actual TOS violation, report it. Use some god-damn personal responsibility.

>>509561>>509565I remember seeing a twitter post by FBI (or CPS don't remember which) that told people to stop misusing the report function on people who aren't actual criminals or breaking laws. The truth is that the whole loli/shota has already been researched heavily across all countries; Japan itself even issued a ban on those subjects in the early 2000's, but they realized that it doesn't affect the number of cases of child abuse. The earliest conclusion was from 2012 by Denmark that explicitly state that weeb drawings don't lead to pedophilia.
Also I remember some fat dude who had those stereotypical hipster soyboy looks, who got busted for child abuse. He tweeted constantly about hating animu (and calling anyone who likes anime a pedo) and the next day he would tweet creepy shit, being near a nursery school and taking pics then calling himself "pedobear" it was legit disgusting. There's certainly a trend here of these weirdos who do more harm to society than the people they call out for drawing impossible tentacle porn hentai.

>>509599I guess the whole point of bringing this up is also the argument that if you draw something deemed gross, incest/pedo art or what have you, you find that acceptable in real life OR will influence people to commit horrible acts based on this kind of art… maybe that's why people feel so morally obligated to shame these artists directly and publicly.
like pic related and the one anon posted earlier, art may fall into a morally questionable place, but is it really fair to say this kind of thing is 100% dangerous and damaging? It's fair to say you hate it and think it's creepy, and I also think most people who look at this kind of art know that it's fucking criminal to abuse kids and it comes with heavy repercussions and long lasting damages, so what are these callouts supposed to accomplish? kids shouldn't be on the internet unmonitored anyway.

>>509663NTA but I’m assuming it’s a loli comic
I think anyone that is morally corrupt enough to somehow get their rocks off to the idea of kids is fucked and should be shamed for it, if I recall correctly there was a survey done that found 1 in 100 men had pedophilic tendencies - this is based on a survey where men were
shameless enough to admit they’d fuck a 14 year old if they could away with it, I can only imagine how many more are rightfully too ashamed to say so. I bring this survey up because the sexual depiction of children in artwork feeds into this mentality, people who are drawn to loli/shota/cub are not right in the head and need to stop thinking with their genitals for a single fucking moment to actually critically think about their desires.
It’s not normal to be turned on by kids, and saying it’s fine because it’s fiction is just a massive fucking cope

>>509314Oh god Christopher Hart, that name takes me back. I'll be honest, I have a few of his books though they are about 16-18 years old now. His books definitely helped me want to take drawing more seriously as I bought one of his earlier books back in like 2003 and I was super into anime at the time what with being in middle school.
In hindsight his books weren't really that helpful as far as fundamentals went and he wasn't very good at explaining things, at least in my opinion. Trying his method of drawing all those years ago, my characters would always come out so stiff looking and this is because I lacked fundamentals. Now I don't know how his books are not if he's still making them as the last one I got from his How to Draw collection was back in 2006 but personally, I would skip on his stuff and just stick with Loomis or any of the Disney Artists as I notice in their tutorials, especially Disney artists that they at least incorporate some sort of fundamental in it like the Line of action and what not.
No. 509759
>>509742This is kind of like arguing that we shouldn't connect the dots when a very particular topic's sexualization is being normalized.
Every study on this will tell you that it's not exactly like video games. Human sexuality is fluid and very sensitive to outside influences, and that's just the inconvenient truth of it. It's especially sensitive when it comes to children being exposed to sexual content from an early age. It colors their perception of sex for life.
It's kind of a blow to the "absolute freedom of speech, media doesn't cause any effect on anyone" camp, but like it or not, any society that approves of children being sexually objectified is one that encourages pedophilic attitudes. If it's treated as normal, even in fiction, it's not just "natural" pedophiles who will be groomed not to see a problem.
No. 509764
>>509759i'm not saying that children should to be exposed to this content, i specified that a normal adult who has already formed their sexuality will not be changed because of this content (also i don't think equating pedophilia to a sexuality is a good argument to make). children under no circumstance should see this content, and i've yet to see one account who doesn't at least have the 18+ emoji on them when they post that content.
there have been no studies about the exact effects this fiction has on adults, the most official documents i've seen that reference this content is court cases that haven't found it illegal.
i'm not stating media doesn't have any effect irl (especially on impressionable children), i just think that in spaces closed away from children adults should be able to explore
problematic themes in fiction.
No. 509768
>>509764Not equating pedophilia to a sexuality, I'm specifically describing paraphilia and its easy spread through pornographic content. Just look at the rise in popularity in anal sex as a direct result of mainstream porn.
>a normal adult who has already formed their sexualityThis is exactly what I mean: That's not a thing. Fetishes don't remain in stasis, completely immutable without opportunity to worsen. Porn addicts seek harder and harder content precisely because the human mind doesn't "freeze" on one thing just because you hit a certain age.
>i just think that in spaces closed away from children adults should be able to explore problematic themes in fiction.What does an adult have to "explore" in the sexualization of children? Honest question. Content that discusses CSA is one thing, but I can't think of a single beneficial thing to ever come out of shit like

No. 509770
>>509768a mind isn't "trained" when viewing this content, i don't know how to explain this better to you, but no normal adult becomes a pedophile from viewing this content. i'm not sure if you are saying there that lolicon or pedophilia is a fetish, but if you are saying lolicon is, than there you have it, it's supposed to be a fantasy, not a thing done in real life.
i can't say for sure every aspect of what someone might gain from those examples, but i've heard people state that in a way it's an exploration of a weaker aspect of themselves, that they project themselves onto the characters. you also probably heard this one already (since so many people make fun of it here), but people could use it to cope with their own experiences as well, as a way to take back control they had lost.
but anyway, my main point is that as long as this content is being kept away from children, adults should be able to engage with it, even if the reason doesn't strike your fancy. i'm not saying no one should be disgusted that this content exists, or that it shouldn't give red flags, i just don't think labeling people pedophiles over drawings is accurate at all.

I very strongly doubt the grown men pushing out comic after comic and drawing of little girls being brutalized or objectified are "taking back control they lost" or "trying to cope", or that the majority of consumers of that content are people trying to do the same, but you're free to your own outlook.
It's not a matter of personal fancy, it's just pretty blatant and in-your-face what this is, and it's pretty sad that people defend it because it's already become so normal.

hopefully wrangling this back to the original question I brought up, basically does liking questionable art mean you support sexualization being normalized (as
>>509759 said)? Is there even a point for it to be drawn in the first place like
>>509768 said, and should people that still draw it be villified? On the other hand, does fiction really play such an important part in changing adult behavior (as
>>509599 said)? is there a gray area or do we need to treat these things seriously (or not, just block and ignore)
I think most can agree that an artist like shadbase is different to CLAMP (thinking of Card Captor Sakura and elementary kid/adult teacher thing), or is it all the same? is it still supporting bad shit? can you give people the benefit of understanding that "x is bad, i like this art, but x is still bad". Do people that like Takamichi's work support LO by liking the covers or is it as bad as actually reading LO? Just to be clear, I'm attaching Range Murata as an example because he falls into the similar category of 'draws little girls in a way you'd want to question' (search for his other works and see).
I guess I'm mostly just trying to piece together when people are reaching and when it should be a cause for concern. the salt I have is in the examples of 'callouts' I posted above… is that kind of thing necessary? IMO it's pointless, but I want to understand it deeper after being a kid once that did see disturbing things and what i should do now as an adult. It's one thing to call out people that have actually abused minors, but should the same treatment be applied to a small artist that drew some incest ship? is it the same amount of evil to depict that as normal? do the problems of societal & cultural sexualization of children and violent abuse apply in these cases (ie small artists in fandoms) or can we agree that it's…. kind of a reach in order to feel morally superior? it just especially bothers me when these small, usually foreign artists get tons of threatening messages about being freaks or w/e. are they really who we need to go after
No. 509781
>>509775NTA but actually, there have been a number of studies and a fair amount of research regarding the law of diminishing returns in relation to pornography. the books 'your brain on porn' and 'the porn myth' are both good reads regarding this and they compile a good deal of the studies and research out there on the subject. If you want to really know for sure what's what in this situation maybe grab them from your library, read them, then find (google) the studies they cite as sources and give them a once over yourself for accuracy/proper controls and protocols. I think taking steps like That would be the only way anyone could be certain of their stance on this issue, or any issue.
Quit frankly anybody who's taken a 101 psych, statistics or just any course that requires you to verify legitimate sources should be able to ascertain the legitimacy of a study so there's no reason not to take the time to look into it.
It is difficult to find the studies in the wild, mainly because it's an unpopular stance to suggest that there could be negative side-effects or consequences of regularly consuming porn, so most organizations or websites that would normally cover it either jump into defensive denial and ad hominem attacks on the researchers goals, or ignore the information completely since they don't want to upset/lose their reader/viewership (let's be honest, there's not really any media outlets lefts that's not more about entertainment than facts or information). Even google is more likely to recommend to you NYT articles mocking the concept rather than give you the raw data to examine yourself.
No. 509802
>>509780In the CLAMP example you mentioned, I think it's woman artists/writers reflecting the paradigm they've already been taught to normalize, without really pausing to question it.
When Shadbase does it, he has a perfect understanding of how fucked up it is, and that's part of the reason why he likes it so much.
The first is
problematic, while the second is an actual problem.
>can you give people the benefit of understanding that "x is bad, i like this art, but x is still bad"Individually, maybe, but collectively, no. I don't think appreciating that
>>509660 and other LO covers have a somber/peaceful look to them is the same as being an apologist for the actual content therein, but there are also people who pretend to only like the "wholesome" art as a shield for what they're really into.
In the former case, it only becomes an issue, IMO, when someone starts to glorify the full package. I think Range Murata's art is beautiful, but the weird, sexualized aspects make me avoid praising him too highly. I'm pretty sure a lot of people who are into manga-styled art can relate to that kind of cognitive dissonance. Some go full lolicon-defending cope mode to deal with it, instead of just accepting that sick fucks can also be talented, but by virtue of them being sick fucks, in a just world, they'd automatically forfeit at least half (if not more) of the praise they would/should normally get.
Obviously, most of the Twitter "callouts" are just useless and OTT. With only a few exceptions, most of the people they "expose" are just like the example of CLAMP:
Problematic, but not a problem.
I think there should be space to discuss the issues with normalizing certain sorts of content (especially within fandom), especially since it can be used to groom kids, but it could be handled better.
>are they really who we need to go afterThis is just based off my personal snooping, but 9 times out of 10, the people who need to be gone after are the nobodies in the comment sections defending the artist(s) because they have their own stash or history, but everyone just tells them to fuck off and/or mostly ignores them because the artist or writer is a bigger fish with more evidence laid out.
The smart thing to do would be to track the fans of people who make incest/pedo content, but that's more of a long game, and Twitter users often have too low of an attention span.
No. 509845
>>509742Yeah, pedos 'are born' like serial killers/psychopaths; their brains are wired differently from birth which causes them to be less sympathetic to others, and are very, very good at masking their fucked up behaviors. And also it could be that they were locked up in some fucked up situation, abused and severely tortured at an early age, but the former is more common/legit.
Even masturbation addicted coomers who go on pornhub everyday won't deliberately look for illegal shit, and if they do find a thumbnail that even implies it, they'll get the fuck out of there and not click it.
>>509802>>509660>>509802Like I said in my last post about anime not being a good reference for any form of sexuality; the anime art style is very idealized in general. Its like how regular porn creates an illusion of it looking exciting, but when you do it IRL with someone, it won't feel the same. I remember back when tumblr wasn't 100% insane, and we'd all laugh at crazies (like Choco bird fountain), LGBT blogs expressed frustration with having late teenagers in college asking them if they're gay etc. because they fapped to futa tentacle hentai, then explaining for the nth time that its not the case. In general, if you aren't willing to hook up with someone with a certain gender/trait, you aren't gay/bi and just like the fantasy of it, and not the actual thing.
Psychology, anything related to the brains is a tough subject that needs to be handled with the upmost care. Twitter NEETs LARPing as armchair psychologists shouldn't play police when they don't know how to handle the guns; the best you can do is report to the FBI if you have clear evidence/facts of suspecting groomers in your group or whatever.

and on the topic of the twitter callouts, not only are they useless, they have only caused people to have more and more warped views of what pedophilia and incest means. small age differences being talked about as being pedophilic, or the more ridiculous "they are childhood friends so it's incest". some of you said that this content is warping people's perception of right and wrong, but more often what i see is that people vehemently against it have warped views of what pedophilia and incest is, and they are influencing other people with this.

Overall, the results indicate all three hypotheses were supported. We found that there has been a significant increase in the rate of interest within teenage pornography, amateur pornography, and Hentai inspired pornography, which is unsurprising given the popularity of the niches among and widespread availability content via pornographic hubs (Ogas and Gaddam 2011). >Clearly the interest in youth-oriented pornography has increased over the past decade, and that increase appears to coincide with what Gill (2008, 2012) and others argue is the continued ‘‘sexualization of culture’’.

>>509780Applying real world justice standards to drawings is autistic, period. If Shadman was just drawing the gross fetish porn he's doing now I wouldn't care but the fact that he's
openly creeping on irl people makes him disgusting. This topic has been beaten to the ground already and I want the discourse to die already, plenty of people use art to handle emotions and trauma, children might be used as symbolic self-inserts, yada yada. Fiction is used to explore things we would never accept in real life.
Everyone has some nasty, dubious and/or illegal thing they like in fiction but would never take to reality. The people screeching about "shipping minors" have no problem watching these same minors get beat up by adults in battle. They might like horror movies or true crime documentaries with murders in them. That would get your ass sent to prison so fast if you would go around committing that in real life.
Bottom line, don't like it, don't look at it. It's that easy. Save the callouts for when someone actually gets caught kiddly diddling. Plenty of people who have never shown any signs of pedophilic tendencies have been outed as possessing child porn and touching kids. A ton of dedicated male feminists have been exposed as rapists. The thought that you can somehow spot a predator based on their interests is just causing false hope to people in a situation where you desire control over horrible things you can't always do anything about.
>>509781It's one thing to look at porn with real people in it and become desensitized, drawing cartoon porn is another. Of course watching something way more immersive and realistic is going to affect your brain but there's a difference between something like, say, watching an action movie with gorey scenes and a Liveleaks ISIS decapitation video.

>>509967>masturbating to drawings of children doesnt mean you're a pedophile thoughThis was literally not said by any poster in this thread, including the one you replied to.
It's very obvious that a majority of those militantly against loli and shota content - especially those who claim that fictional, drawn content of that nature is equal to or equally as harmful as child pornography and child sexual abuse - care in no way about abuse
victims and adopt that view because they believe it a way to garner more attention and appear morally superior in others' eyes, especially on social media, where people are rewarded for appealing to others. Those who experienced sexual assault/abuse as a child know how damaging it is, and really don't appreciate seeing people (usually faux-progressive teenagers on Twitter and Tumblr, let's be honest) jump at any chance to accuse someone of having abused a child solely for their own personal gain, all while throwing terms like "pedophile", "predator", and "abuse" around, further disregarding
victims' experiences and emotions by desensitizing the actual meanings and implication of those terms.
Victims of childhood sexual abuse want justice, be it social or legal, for their situation and what happened to them. They want others to listen to them, take them seriously, and understand what they've been through. They don't want completely unrelated people online using cases like theirs as an opportunity to promote themselves by playing up a false idea that they're a "socially-progressive hero saving innocent minors!",
especially doing something as demeaning as comparing the abuse a child experienced to a drawing.
When did this superbly-woke-Tumblr-liberal mentality of "drawings totally equal abusing a child" migrate to lolcow? If you're looking for people to tell you that you're such a good person and you're saving so many children from lifelong trauma by calling random strangers pedophiles in sarcastic posts, this isn't the place.

While I absolutely agree that IRL porn warps the perception of sex when it comes to young people and it's a bad thing, I still don't think cartoons are as influential as actual porn. It doesn't stimulate your brain in the same way seeing real people would.
>>509970It's really no use to argue. These people don't realize that the "muh cartoons equals real people" discourse will come to bite them in the ass later after they get caught enjoying something in fiction someone doesn't like. People are already claiming that shit like shipping a fictional 17 year old and a 28 year old is pedophilia and glorifying abuse and that short characters are "child-coded". People have gotten to taste what it's like to have the power to cancel someone with a moral outrage, they're out to do it whenever they can.

It's not even "on the rise" to begin with, it's only thought of as "popular" because you browse degenerate sugar baby threads here on Lolcow. Actual people think it's sick.

I'd get involved in that, it sounds fantastic, I love discussions on topics like this, and it's a really good topic from every angle (art, philosophy, ethics, society, cultural differences, it's the whole package).

That's the problem with this sort of discourse. Both sides get invested in being right, and defensive/angry about being wrong or accused of such, and when they get into that mindset they, for whatever reason there are a number, don't clarify their language and meaning, while at the same time the opponents use that lack of clarity to make sweeping accusations and responses that wouldn't make sense if the other sides post had been able or allowed to clarify. I'm sure there's a lot more detail behind arguments on each side, but when you're approaching a debate like that, it all gets thrown out the window
I personally think it's not too clear where it broke down. it wasn't the most cordial discussion in the first place, the first two posters were pretty wound up from the get-go about the topic, and both sides got very defensive very quickly. then one side got hit with the accusation'arguing to have a moral high-ground' and around the same time the other got hit with 'arguing because you're a weeb/pedo/anime defender' and from their the whole thing broke down.

It would be like saying that because some people argue about what level of etiquette should be necessary when talking to others online that they don't care about conversational etiquette IRL. It's possible to care about both, and it's completely possible (and likely) that they get just as involved with IRL etiquette as they do with the online side if they care that much about it, but right now, the person is talking about online since that's what the discussion is about.

the whole point I brought up lolicon art and fandom was more to put out feelers for different arguments on the subject, and what/how other people are bothered (or unbothered) by seeing these things in art circles. wasn't really aiming to prove anything.
my personal opinion is that these kinds of problems aren't just straightforward 'anime creates pedos/criminals/antisocial behavior' because it's definitely a multifaceted problem. I understand that because vulnerable subjects are involved, it DOES invoke strong emotions, anger, etc. from both sides. it IS very frustrating that we can't come up with a clear answer - not just here in internet discussion - but in cross-disciplinary investigations into the problem.
the studies
>>509856 linked use psychoanalysis and statistical data analysis methods to piece together complex human behaviors and patterns that are difficult to make sense of individually. Both articles conclude that there is a relationship between content online and antisocial behavior, but neither can 100% say one causes the other, one makes the other worse, and instead bring up many other aspects of human society, socialization, and sexuality that also contribute to these factors.
I definitely don't think that lolcow is frequented by academic researchers, but it is by people that consume and make art on the internet. and I'm sure those of us who like anime/manga/art have come across content that makes us uncomfortable but for which we're not sure how to maneuver (ex. Range Murata and CLAMP, beautiful art and compelling stories sprinkled with discomfort).
in the realm of art communities, it just bothers me that there are a lot of black and white arguments of 'this person drew giyutan, this person ships shieth, this person drew a child-coded suggestive image == everyone block and report their ass' as if it holds the same gravity as more heinous acts… or works to possibly normalize them. I'm beginning to think that art communities are more emotionally driven than anything to start raising a stink about how this is bad, you should feel bad, everyone look at bad thing and agree with me or you're just as bad as them (ex. "if you follow __ block me", "i can't believe __ is following __, i thought they were better than that"). how kids are shaped by the internet is a serious and complex issue, and I'm annoyed that it's being packaged in such a stupid way. I think as
>>509802 said, it's not possible to assume everyone that likes __ is a pedo OR everyone that likes __ understands its real-world repercussions if one was to act on it. instead maybe it's important to make a decision on each individual in your own fandom/art space.
I'm not looking to defend pedophiles/ddlg/etc and explicitly pedophilic art, especially after working with children and knowing people that deal with childhood abuse cases, but more figuring out how art and artists that we frequently see on social media affect us and the rest of the internet. I don't think there's a definitive answer, but I'm tired of the morality police making small artists feel like shit for drawing some stupid fanarts or liking an artist and thinking they're right and changing the world with their call out. I don't think they are fully correct and using guilt and shame to drive small artists out isn't the way to go. but I also could have been missing something, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't also overreacting either.

>>510155 See and I think that that's a great question that opens up a lot of interesting points and questions . so if it's not a real person nobodies getting hurt, but there's still the question of whether associating sexual pleasure with symbols that represent children could be bad (i.e in the case of someone getting off to loli-porn), or whether or not you think it could potentially lead to something worse down the line (law of diminishing returns). Obviously if you pass by it or read something that happens to include depictions of pedophilia, like reading lolita, or some of Haruko Ichikawa's work that's not going to suddenly put you on the path to pedo. it's an examination of an important issue that's plagued that world for thousands of years. But if someone's getting off to ichikawas work, is that bad/wrong?
Japan has an entire subculture fethishizing cuteness and childishness but does that automatically translate to pedo, or is it just that they don't have the same associations with those things that those in other countries might?
It's a similar line of questioning to whether we should give IRL pedophiles fake child porn or child sex dolls as 'outlets' That also leads to the question of whether just anybody who interacts with that content sexually long term could develop a dangerous or unhealthy fixation with cp/cartoon cp, or if it's like drugs or alcohol and there's a certain amount of previous issues that create a risk factor.
There's so many factors, I'm not sure if it's really possible to boil it down into a simple, is it real kids or not

>>510161>>510162You both said it well.
Also I agree with that anon who said/ questioned what it is to explore that adults consume fictional stories which sexualize children. To me, that's the thing that makes it uncomfortable: those sexualized children are usually paired with an adult, and the sexual relationship/ overall relationship between those characters is not questioned (that the child might be not feeling safe and is sometimes scared of it). Those children usually cope with it pretty well (at least that's the impression I have) and actually handle the relationship like adults. (Although they might be totally inexpierenced and therefore shy. But that's also a usual trope in sex fiction about adults.) It is just so one-dimensional and totally fitted to the adult experience. All the while it's never really adressed that teenager have to deal with their own sexuality on a whole different level like adults – and they usually explore theirs with peers of their own age. (Although they may fantasize about adult stars they're stans of. But who of you didn't as teenager.) It's never about the children as human beeings, they are only objects of desire. And that is just wrong, dehumanizing someone and turn them into an object.

I don’t care if anime kids don’t actually look like kids, lolicons are drawn to them because they know that they are depictions of children, and have often admitted that what they find particularly arousing is that they are corrupting what it is typically innocent

>>510213Why do you draw bloodied bodies and gore? Why do you draw violent art? Nobody really owes an explanation for whatever they draw and nobody has to put up their whole character history up for internet strangers. It's not my business. Maybe they secretly have a torture chamber for kids or maybe they feel the child characters symbolize something they lack from their life. I don't know and sometimes they don't know either. When I was drawing edgy, immoral shit I was in the pits of depression and wanted to have control over something.
The discussion about this stagnates pretty hard at times because some people are talking about pedophilic art being semi-realistic toddler porn, some people think about 16-year old cartoon characters because they're ~minors~. But it's a good example of how policing art is a slippery slope, when you get everyone to agree that drawing loli/shotacon is degenerate and bad you'll get them to agree on all the derivatives as well. When all of the 17-20 year olds in this thread turn 28 and still like the same characters they did 10 years ago and there's a new generation of kids calling them a pedo, they'll know what I mean.

>>510324>Nobody really owes an explanation for whatever they draw and nobody has to put up their whole character history up for internet strangers. Yeah, and nobody is immune to criticism.
If you draw fucked up shit and publicize it, people can and should call you out on it being fucked up.
If you're against this, stay off the internet. It's not a hugbox for all kinds of degenerates, and it shouldn't be. Don't cry about "policing art" when nobody told you to post your shit in the first place.
If anyone has reason to believe you have a child torture chamber or would want one, then they're not somehow wrong in voicing that your work is nasty. No one cares if it's just that you're just ~depressed~ and you somehow can't think of a better symbol for that than kids in sexual situations. Either learn how to be creative in ways that don't make you look like a pedo, or be mature enough to accept and understand the reactions you get for the things you choose to draw.
I don't care about 16 year old cartoon characters because I'm not some Twitter shipper, by the way. The slippery slope argument is tired and disingenuous. We all know the difference between some Voltron characters and the shit in Comic LO. Anyone who pretends not to probably just doesn't like you personally, and is looking for any excuse to come down on you. No one else is convinced they're the same.

If someone had an obvious fetish for, wrote stories and/or drew images of dogs (or other animals) being raped, anyone would call them a zoophile. Whether they've actually tried fucking dogs in real life is irrelevant, because it's about the paraphilia itself.

>>510450looking at unrealistic fictional characters is still not pedophilia, nor does it make you into one. if someone can't draw the line between what they enjoy in fiction (even a casual viewer will see a shit ton of violence and murder in most media, which is apparently a "more normal" taboo to depict) vs what they enjoy in real life then they have some serious problems.
>>510449pulling up a definition isn't a counter argument, definitions are usually pretty generalized and only form a basis for the understanding of the word, it doesn't go into details on purpose (also for fucks sake it's literally what onision did all the time in his videos).

>>510455Unrealistic in what sense? If characters are clearly meant to be children, and the artists and viewers are imagining them as such and sexualizing them, what makes things
not pedophilic? Remember, pedophilia is attraction to children, not just being an actual rapist. It's not just a simple definition, any psychologist will back this up. It's called a paraphilia for a reason.
Just like anon's image in
>>510449 says, this does not exclude drawings of children or fictional children. You're still thinking of children. The fantasy itself is a problem. You have a serious problem if anything relating to children turns you on, period.

>>510442>PPL SAY OVERBLOWN THINGS ALL THE TIME GET OVER IT UGH!!!!There's a very noticeable difference between some petty "this bitch stole my art style" callouts and trying to brand someone as a pedophile because of muh cartoon children. One of them makes the internet scoff for a moment, one of them 100% ruins their reputation forever and possibly traumatizes them and exiles them from the society. I still don't think that drawn cartoon characters amount to actual living, breathing humans at all because they don't even look the same, just like people who think disney animal characters are hot probably wouldn't want to fuck actual lions.
>>510486Did you even read this article or just cherrypick the parts that suit you the best? The effects can be best observed in people with a certain temperament, it's not an universal truth. Of course fiction might feel like the real thing. It's called immersion. There's no denying that. But the intensity of the experience is nothing like real life. You most likely won't be traumatized by watching a thriller. But you could probably be traumatized by a real video of someone being killed on tape. Just because fiction can and will stimulate certain parts of your brain it doesn't mean it's 100% real to you and you know it. A horrible scene in a movie might bum you out for a while but you wouldn't be
traumatized like you would during the real life encounter.
This retarded "but studies say that fiction forces us to do bad things!!" discourse is just a rehash of the "video games/TV/movies cause violence" hysteria from the decades of the past. I can't believe that it's the barely underage zoomers driving it today instead of middle-aged soccer moms who want to blame something else than their shitty upbringing.

>>510537If you get turned on by children, you're a pedophile. That's what it means. No psychologist has ever said there's an exception for fictional children. No one's calling you a child rapist, but you are a pedophile. End of story. The people saying you are one are just stating a fact, and they are also free to voice their disgust, because the internet is an open space where we can express our opinions. Feel free to block and ignore those you disagree with, or just keep your more abhorrent interests private.

valid if stuff traumatizes you. I've never said that. I only said (and therefore linked this article) that the things your brain receives and how it reacts is different from this what your mind thinks how you are handling input. And that there are signs that your brain learns from fictional as it learns from real life experience.
So, you're pedo no matter what you think of yourself, when you turned on by real and/ or fictional kids. (Like, there are people out there who would fondly say that they're no racists. But, to give a somewhat recent example, when they see some asian looking people they still back off bc of that new noro virus making its round in China. Totally something a non-racist would do.)

When I was a high schooler I got into yuri and thought I was lesbian. Later on in college I attempted a relationship with another girl who was also interested but none of us got anywhere at the end. Realized I got more horny when I saw real life dicks, and wanted the real one in me. So that's why I 100% agree when someone says 'cartoons don't reference your sexuality' because art is about making things look ideal and whatnot.'3D pig disgusting' is a thing for a reason; I see this as both for keeping things in topic (discuss the animation/comic only, don't talk make it all about your irl irrelevant hi-jinks) as well as a reminder for putting the boundary between fiction and real life.

>>511689the thing is, pedophilia being defined as an attraction of children is for a reason. of course we can say not all pedophiles act out, but real ones always have the possibility. it's a mental illness and untreatable one at that, and i'm not saying we need to have sympathy for their situation, but that they need to seek help to control their impulses, or even fight down the symptoms. you could of course say that loli/shota material can be used to redirect their impulses, but i feel like in the cases of someone really being one it would just fan the flames and draw them to action eventually.

>>511716Let's not start the 'romanticizing rape' thing. Rape/ravishment/noncon has been one of the most common fetishes in both genders since the beginning of the recorded word, probably before then. It's an undeniable, provable fact. It's not indicative of rape culture, or encouraging men to go out and rape women because 'they all want it'. You can call it vile all you want, and that's fine. If it's not for you than it's not for you, but that doesn't make people with rape fetishes rapists. Rapists are rapists.
The term non-con sprang up when autists like you wouldn't stop screeching about how horrible the kink is. It's a separation between a harmless fictional kink and the real-life crime. Take that energy and go rail against the hundreds of thousands of bodice ripper romance novels written by middle-aged women or shoujo mangaka.
"Loli" comes from "lolita complex" which is literally the Japanese word for a female-attracted pedophile. By that logic 'pedo' is romanticizing slang for 'pedophile'.

>inb4 wahhhh don’t kink shame!! If you don’t want to be shamed for your degeneracy then don’t upload your fetish work, artwork within the public sphere is fair game
Drawing it for yourself? Fine, I find it degenerate but ultimately cannot stop the actions of others nor enforce my morals onto them, but putting it into the public sphere shows that you are uploading it also for the consumptions of others, hoping that others find enjoyment in the abhorrent fetishisations (incest, pedophilia, rape, racism, bestiality to name a common few) and you cannot expect viewers to hold their tongue unless it is to praise you; the internet is just as public as a billboard advertisement, and people can criticise what they view in the public sphere as they see fit

>>511729, same points and some people who go to direct to manu don’t like sharing with anyone who isn’t a friend because experience can vary differently from person to person and depending who your manu rep is. I’ve seen two people use the same factory and get different results cuz their reps are different, and sometimes factories can take on too much work or not a high enough MOQ (min order quantity) that the factory goes down in quality. It’s also not really a snobbery thing, like building a relationship takes a lot of work with a manu, especially a foreign one where their English usually isn’t the best, so to be expected just to be given a manu’s contact by some people ignores the work the other person puts into developing that relationship. Plus now that working with Chinese manufacturers is common, some people exploit and treat them like an Amazon and expect like they can do a low MOQ or the highest quality but for cheapest price, so most people also don’t give out contacts cuz what if their manu gets screwed over by some dude who does a chargeback unwarranted and drops your name as a referral?
There ARE alternatives tho so it’s not that secretive really. The biggest one is using a middleman, who has developed the relationship and services already so they can handle all the nitty gritty for you. I use one for my enamel pins and like, as someone who makes them, I feel a lot of people who use middlemen get kind of looked down upon by other pin artists? Like going direct to manu is cheaper sure, but the middleman I use can do a lot on their end, namely quality control and boarding pins, so I don’t have to waste my time like baylee to do it on my own and I can continue to design without worry. Paying a middleman is basically insurance that your shit won’t get fucked up.
Group orders are another and that’s basically a group of artists using a manu in one giant order to save on shipping and costs, they’re more difficult to find and it depends on the individual who runs them (like I’m lucky to find one run by a girl who does file checks, she doesn’t have to). There’s less insurance on this part and sometimes people are shitty but it’s also another way to get overseas merch

Dumb question, but what stops me from drawing a closed species. Do I just get hordes of 13 year old stalking my twitter and DMing 'KYS' or can they actually sue. The whole closed species thing just feels like honor code and I feel a big implosion will happen when some dude who doesn't give a shit about their dumb rules draws them.

>>511836Thanks for the write up, and to other responses as well. That’s pretty helpful. I did find a middle man (whoever suggested Zap, they have a sister site for only pins now) and that would make me feel more comfortable when buying because I can speak English and the lines of communication will be more clear than if I wrote to someone of middling or no English understanding.
I can see how using a middle-man would be looked down upon but it seems better to have that service which may guarantee better quality in the end.
Another issue I have is with fan art pins. I love them too but how does SE not send a C&D? Like IPs of FF, KH, etc. It would be fun to make fanart pins but that seems like a grey area that could have legal issues later.
I usually go original and I think that would make profit more than fan art but it doesn’t seem to be the case online and at cons.

>>511967So fan art pins is why a lot of people go direct to manu over using a middleman. Most middleman companies won’t let you do designs of that infringes a copyright of another company and that’s fair since they’ll also suffer repercussions if you get served a lawsuit.
Like, I looked at a lot of the Disney pin culture out of curiosity and people who make “fantasy pins”, unlicensed Disney art pins, will only make a very small amount of them, like they’ve found manus who will make a MOQ of less than 10 sometimes and they’re very expensive so they don’t make a ton of profit. They’re small enough to where Disney doesn’t usually bother taking them down but it’s a risk taken by fan pin makers. Separately, some people will fund through Kickstarter and they’re notoriously lax about letting copyrighted things in, yet companies will find you and issue C&D’s if you tag the characters or franchise, I’ve seen some get taken down completely during or after the campaign and it’s just gonna show as a dead campaign on your creator profile.

>>512093Ignoring the countless trafficked and coerced women within the porn industry that are indeed getting sexually assaulted, but studies have proven time and time again that porn is addictive, literally requires the brain, escalates paraphilia’s, and that those that consume it will often re-enact it (that one horrible case of the girl got anally gangbanged and will now have to use a bag to shit for the rest of her life comes to mind), yes, it has in fact lead to an increase in sexual assaults. I’m on mobile so it’s the biggest pain in the fucking ass to cite all the studies, but it’s not pearl clutching to dare to suggest that associating pleasure with rape is a harmful practice - the increase of couple acting out these ‘fantasies’ is proof in itself that fantasy does in fact affect reality, there are men out there who want to rape their girlfriends but it’s supposedly okay because it’s ‘consensual non-consent’ (let’s not ignore the fact that many of these women have been raped and/or molested in the past)
I’m on a ramble now, but plenty of people admit to things like the magic school bus caused their vore, jungle book caused hypno, totally spies caused inflation, all these paraphilia’s that cause dysfunction in their sexuality they were able to link back to drawn media
So yeah, while people can disagree as to whether people should or should not create certain art, anons are being purposely obtuse if they ignore that art and media do indeed affect reality.

>>511720NTA but you're pretty retarded. Not everyone who molests children is a pedophile, and that's according to the definition of pedophile being
attraction.
>Pedophilia is not a legal term,[10] and having a sexual attraction to children is not illegal.[7] In law enforcement circles, the term pedophile is sometimes used informally to refer to any person who commits one or more sexually-based crimes that relate to legally underage victims. I think this is part of why there's so much semantic arguing. I also get the other side of what anon is saying. If pedophilia is labeled like a sexuality it normalizes it and allows people to victimize themselves. Many people treat it like being gay. People forget it's roots as well it originally was used as a tool against women, not men, in the 1800s.

Does anyone here use watercolor pencils for adding detail? Do you activate them with water afterward or just leave it as is? If you use them for a base sketch, does it ever mess up what you had planned or generally looks good?

Rendr sketchbooks are nice for markers, but they're not the best if you like smooth blends. The no-bleed quality of the paper keeps marker ink from blending smoothly. It's nice if you like a more cel-shaded, layered look.

Possibly close to what you might get with Bristol paper.

This was mentioned in the holly brown thread but TwistedDisaster has a GoFundMe asking for $3k for a new computer that she says she needs for her digital art commissions, but she was just given an iPad from her parents a couple months ago and has been doing most of her commissions on procreate.

A computer capable of doing commissions, plus new monitors, keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and headset would not come to 3k for minimum specs, unless she was buying a screen tablet for the computer as well, THEN you might break 3k. Or she is buying all new parts and building it herself, or she got a quote from some tech-monkey at Best Buy.
Also, she is choosing the stupidest time to get a new computer. PC parts like graphics cards and processors are going to be releasing new hardware after the new consoles release, so buying now is moronic. Wait a year if you want to beg for money for the best stuff.

She's obnoxious. Her followers were all gained from her quirky Nintendo fanart and spamming art share threads multiple times every day. She considers herself as some sort of valuable art mentor who gained an audience through her talents despite being the center of what's effectively a giant twitter cuddle puddle. Now that Qinni has passed away I bet Deepee feels like the only artist around justified in leading a tribute collab. This is only a means to more followers for her.
She's pretty much Becca if Becca weren't as much of a failure. I'm shocked she hasn't tried peddling out reviews and tutorials yet. Those types love trying to teach everyone underneath them.

No. 513712
>>513689Depends on factors like time zone of artist, (they may have heard quicker if the time of announcement was closer to sunrise/morning in their area) where they sat in qinni's circle (friend of a friend hears before twitter would) skill level, experience with this kind of artif they work in digital whether or not they have previous drawings with the subject matter in question that they can copy paste from
(digital takes out a metric fuck-ton of the concept/thumbnail/general planning and composition time since you can move things around as you render them). 3-6 hours isn't really a big stretch for such a simple piece with familiar elements. ZHC and TheBoxOfficeArtist have done some crazy things in 24 hours, this would be a lot easier in comparison.
As far as people using her death for points, I think it depends from person to person. I know some people who do post online in response to personal tragedy to cope/as a sincere response, and some who do it for the attention.
If your first thought when something like this happens is to find another human being to talk to/find comfort in, then it wouldn't be surprising for people who either solely have their 'people' online, or don't have people irl who know who qinni is/understands what she meant to them to post to a community that does. I mean, we've done the same thing here by mentioning that she dies right? something sad happened, you go to your community Human psychology is weird, you never know what someone will do.

This one rubbed me the wrong way really hard. "You might know Qinni from the covers of The Rosewood Chronicles"? Bitch, Qinni was an extremely popular artist with over 1mil followers, her popularity went far beyond doing the covers of your stupid teen books that no one outside the 12 yos in your audience care about.

Can someone start tallying how many “grievances” that TD goes through in a month (aka: how often she asks for money)
No. 514004
>>513917That’s an overreaction. The internet causes a lot of people to be suspect when people say they’re ill. There was another artist who did it for clout and it made people less sympathetic as time went on. Qinni wasn’t like that (I didn’t know or follow her) but it’s just how it is online now.
It is sad she passed and I don’t like all these sympathy collaborations. I hope they don’t get off the ground.
A GFM would be nice but I don’t think any of the fans will do that. They’re too young.
No. 514012
>>514006it's because it redirects the attention to their art and is a scheme most of the time to get death sympathy clicks. a lot of people started their posts with "i didn't know her but" when talking about her and lot of the "memorial" art was obviously really rushed to get it out as fast as they can.
also most of these people aren't actually that close to her to that they would need to grieve, parasocial relationships don't count.
No. 514129
>>514004It is absolutely not an overreaction. If you accuse someone of faking their terminal illness without any hard evidence, you are being a complete piece of shit. End of story. Imagine being a public figure and having cancer, sharing it with your fans, and having assholes publicly voice their belief you're faking it. Sorry, but the person in that position deserves a fuck of a lot more empathy than the cunts wrongly accusing them of being a munchie without proof.
They accused her of faking her cancer and now she's dead. They deserve to be haunted by that fact for the rest of their lives.

Okay, from what I’d made sense, looks like TomatoMagica got herself onto another kinds of scuffles again. Here are the summary of the things that she had done so far…
1. She denied a person who asked for a commission because their profile was filled with fetish.
https://mobile.twitter.com/sayoriisgay/status/12211368467276636172. Why are men
The discussion is yours.
No. 514326
>>514313people who act like this kinda of tutorials is "telling people what to draw" are fucking fragile idiots. but the "why are men" comment is pretty dumb and basically asking for drama.
also this person was clearly asking for something that's a fetish to them, and worded their first message really weirdly, like it sounds like those fake scam emails artists get. but the artist could have just avoided this shit if they simply said no to the guy.
No. 514330
>>5143131. To be completely honest I would be, as a woman, very uncomfortable drawing chubby girls for someone with a fat/inflation fetish, it would feel like they're roping me into their fetish play. However she could've just refused that she's not interested in drawing that particular commission and that would've been that on that, but she had to go and be immature about it. Even worse if the user wasn't a actually fat fetishist. I mean I've had creepy dudes ask me for art on some really gross fetishes and it does creep one out but it's not hard to just ignore or tell them no without being a cunt because it'll come back to bite you in the ass later down the road.
2. I've seen this "did u know men draw balloon anime tiddy wrong!!!!" take so many times it's boring, everyone knows that a suction cleavage with gravity-defying tits is done wrong but who really cares. It's as tired as repeating how unrealistic Barbie's proportions are, it's just petty and reeks of fishing for quick RTs.
I took a quick glance at her work and she's a decent artist but also engaged to a "nonbinary" man with full on beard and moustache, yikes
No. 514333
>>514313Fucking lmao, this is so mild, why are people losing their shit over this.
‘She should’ve said no nicely!!!!’
She wasn’t even mean? Abrasive, yes, but women and artists alike aren’t obligated to be nice to fatty fetishising neck beards, how utterly pathetic to call someone out over something so mundane and petty
As for the balloon titties;
Stay mad, cumbrains
No. 514335

http://archive.is/Z34VYI feel like is kinda rich that the girl that didn’t pay attention to interns/workstudy students at Disney is complaining about people not giving a shut about her.

>>514389What does storyboard do? I thought they were in charge of a whole project.
No. 514414
>>514409I think you’re thinking of a producer. A storyboarder basically takes the script and turns it into the visual parts so they work early in production with writers to interpret the script into the shots that will eventually be animated into the final product. Storyboarders have to work and draw fast and know how to compose shots and convey it visually, it varies on production to production on how accurate you have to be, but it’s a very vital skill in the creation of nearly all movies and shows and (narrative) games.
I saw her being subtweeted by a lot of artists on twitter and similar for posting the video (haven’t watched it yet) but like, everyone in LA animation knows each other, the creative world in general is a lot smaller than people think it is so she’s shooting herself in the foot socially by being a snobby bitch. Plus yeah her designs and apparel are super average, wannabe Omocat bullshit.

No. 514450
>>514379>>514441I don't think it's necessarily bad for her to have figured out she didn't want to be in storyboarding. For a lot of people, working at Disney is a dream job, but it just wasn't for her. And maybe she sounds like she's complaining but a lot of what she said is true about the animation industry. Some people can cut it and handle the corporate nature of it, some people can't.
But in a way, her pursuing her own career is good, because it means that she's not staying in a job she hates just because it's with a big company, and instead is making room for people who do want to work there and have the skills for it.
The animation industry in LA seems kinda shit though. All they do is shit talk each other behind each others' backs, it seems. Or it'll be like "look at these young kids posting things on twitter thinking they'll ever get into the industry this way!" There's so much snobbery that comes with animation in the US that it's semi infuriating. At the end of the day, it's a job. And a job not everyone's gonna enjoy

So everybody, I kinda feel like throwing in my two cents, too. I know this person already had her turn but I kinda feel like posting about her right now so there- I must say one of my favorite art youtubers is Emily Artful. Not because I like her but because of her (probably partially made-up) drama and personal storys that she shares with the world. Unfortunately, she does not upload very often, only like once a month it seems.
A lot of Emily´s stuff does not seem 100% real to me, and whether this stuff is true or not - I wonder WHY ON EARTH would anyone tell people about this sort of stuff with one´s own name and face attached to it. She has a child and a stepchild for fuck´s sakes - Can you imagine how in 8 -10 years their classmate and her/his mother are going to be looking for instructions on how to use watercolors or something, and then they´ll find a video featuring their schoolfriend´s mother, telling all about how she tried to stuf a bag of cocaine into her slashed open arm?! (What kind of stupid story is that, btw? Rubbing the cocaine into the wound would have been a dumb idea, but actually inserting the bag itself is fucking epic.) Or maybe her kids´ classmates will see the video where she really does do her best at explaining watercolors, all while trying really hard to swear as much as possible because it´s like so funny and original and because grown women who make gross, dirty jokes are so clever and totally hilarious. …
I guess they´ll start asking Emily for free art then. LOL, that video, along with the bag one, is my favorite of hers. Yes, of course people will sometimes ask for free stuff, especially when you are not just an artist but also a youtuber. But I do not believe that the conversations in the video, which she claims are real, actually took place like that. She is this polite, totally professional artist that is so nice and even trys to work out stuff with others when they don´t have enough money, while all the other people are these rude and aggressive stupids, all of them unable to understand or appreciate art. Right Emily, I totally believe that it all happened like that, LOL. Horrible people. Kind of like that girl in elementary school who gasps stole your amazing art work to pass it off as her own and even went through the garbage to get it.
I could go on right now but I don´t want to write a fucking book about all of this.
I really hope that Emily will post a new video soon, I have to admit that I find this ridiculous shit entertaining.

His fans are "so mesmerized" by his voice (as if theyve never heard someone with a deep voice before), that they completely ignore the fact that all his subjects are those same boring 3/4 shots of pretty women. The point I stopped following him was when he made that video with the nerve to urge people not to make boring expressions/art while he proceeded to do the exact same shit in the video he always does. And it's clear as day he's afraid of drawing anything other than head shots.
Just because he's found
his niche and makes
his money, doesn't put him in the position to teach others how to do it.
I didn't mean to go off as much as I did just now but it's just frustrating when ig artists with no range think they speak as an authority on life as a professional artist. All he did was get the right, expensive equipment and draw the subjects that appeal to an algorithm.

I'm a shit artist but recently after finding Makoccino and Kelogsloops on youtube, their easy and fun tutorials really made me want to pick it up doing more watercolor paintings.
I know 300lbs paper is best for watercolors, but since I'm new to it, I wonder if it's worth paying the price for 300lbs paper or if I should just buy 140lbs to test out the waters first? I'm also debating between winsor and newton and sakura koi's 12 pan palettes- which do anons prefer? Please accept this cute puppy as payment for my shitty noob questions.

I don't know what country you're in but if you're in the USA, Kilimanjaro from Cheap Joe's is on par with, if not better than, Arches. Bee also makes a good cotton paper.
Several art websites (Cheap Joe's and Jerry's Art-A-Rama if you live in the US or don't mind the shipping) also sell sample paper mixes so you can try a little bit of every brand, including Arches and including 140lb and 300lb paper.
Fabriano's Studio paper is nice. It's a mix of wood and cotton.
Strathmore and Canson make nice wood pulp watercolor paper if you're looking to test things or not worried about preserving.

>>516046She’s standing up so there shouldn’t be a dip at all but agreed with your point. It also is telling when an artist only draws naked women and just like overlay layers the clothes on top because they either can’t be bothered or don’t have enough time to use reference

>>516558She's talented and the rebrand is long overdue, but I can't get past that eye makeup and lipstick combination. It really doesn't work for her. It's a shame because she's quite pretty. That lips a bit tryhard and it ages her a lot.
As far as the video goes, yeah it's super clickbaity and she rambles a lot. Though, hearing her voice coming from her actual face makes it much easier to listen to. I used to have to listen to Juicy Ink videos on mute because I found her voice too floaty and airy.

The rest just look like it's mixed with Beast Boy from the Teen Titan cartoon.

>>516737>>516741From a western-style perspective, this isn't particularly bad. It's stylized but it's not making an effort to uglyfy the generic anime cuteness. My only issue is that Taiga looks like a teenage boy in the face, but it beats her lolibait look.
>>516733However, is gross. It's almost sad how hard the artist was trying to make a bunch of generically cute anime characters 'progressive' and 'diverse'. They all look like a selection of crossplayers from a shitty, small town anime con.
No. 516752
>>516693This is going to sound horribly nitpicky but the lighting really bothers me. They added a lot of color from the umbrellas into the shadows on the girls' heads, which could make the painting interesting, but it's unrealistic (the sky is overcast, so in the original the light is much more soft and diffuse, plus the umbrellas aren't that transparent) and taken to an extreme that just drowns out the shadows and kills the contrast. The lit areas (the clothes specifically) are also too saturated and bright, almost like there's another light source on the ground, but you can clearly see the background has the same lighting as the original otherwise.
Imo it just makes it feel incoherent. It's a shame because I actually like some of the colour choices, just not in this context.

>>516675it's pretty vendetta-y to post one of their less bad pictures lol. you could say the middle girls face is kinda weird but overall the picture isn't bad.
>>516733>>516737>>516741yea, these ones are actually bad, looks like she has a real problem with face proportions from the front, which is pretty weird since most artists have problems with drawing a profile.
the character line up is pretty annoying for that fact that it would have been more accurate to make the characters more athletic, since idols have to dance all the time and that definitely affect their body. also lmao at making one of the most recognizable girls, nico, black. make your own goddamned characters holy shit.

>>516238I did watch the video and it pretty much came down to her saying that she doesn't always tip based on her past with bad experiences. She talked about this one time where she went to get the back of her hair colored but the lady dyed her whole hair instead and then up-charged her more than she had and wouldn't let her leave the shop until she paid it all and then asked for a tip.
Other story was how her family had this big birthday dinner at a restaurant and the staff supposedly got all of their orders wrong and one of her disabled relatives who can't talk got accused of harassing one of the servers when she spilled alcohol on him and he was trying to get her attention.
Honestly sometimes I feel like she exaggerates her stories which tends to be the popular thing Story-time YouTubers do.

>>516807>>516238HONESTLY.
TD says that all these “random” events happen to her- uwu poor bean
When it seems like a lot of things happen because she was dumb/misunderstood the situation. Like, I said this before, she doesn’t think for herself, she takes what people say and doesn’t question for herself or apply that reasoning(hence her taking in most youtube logic at face value)
Now back to the video, I didn’t watch it so I can’t really say much on it but I wonder if the event where she was going out for dinner, if it was really busy, and that the meals they received belonged to another table- so they didn’t get the order wrong, just the table

>waitress spills a bit of alcohol along the side of the glass because it's overfull>her relative has to touch alcohol along the side of glassthis is just based on my prior experience as a waitress when i was younger.
