Most well known for her cal-arts rant, where she bitches about how hard it is to get in while claiming to have gotten in.

Mirror of aforementioned Cal-Arts rant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvnD-9XOs5k [DL][Archived Copy]

>21 year old "freelancer" (lives at home with her mother and runs an online shop selling ugly art)

>Salty Youtube fujoshi artist that claims that her art is superior because she went to art school
>Constantly preaches that art takes hard work, claims to always practice and study but her art hasn't improved in over two years
>Whines about being a starving artist with no money, yet has enough money to buy a new Mac computer and a Cintiq tablet within the same week, then sold said cintiq because she got sponsored for her shitty shitty art
>When faced with genuine criticism, she replies with "it's my style hurrr get over it!!"
>Whines about nobody buying from her online store, but when people do, she whines about having to package and ship off her items
>Pandering to the Musicals crowd to get more Youtube $$$
>Claims to be the only non tumblrina artist and is a textbook tumblr fujo
>Generally insufferable and shitty person

Last thread, Holly entered Jazza's animation challenge and complained some more. She made a wonky animation tutorial and announced she was going to be focusing more on animation and illustration instead of comics.
She plans on making her own 4 minute animated short film in full color despite not knowing how to properly animate.

does anyone else think that carrying a big sketchbook around is cringe? holly is the worst offender so far in this new thing im seeing where sketching and JUST sketching for literal hours is becoming the new big online art thing. its mostly with people of her attitude though, where these artists are so desperate to improve that they think its okay to sketch, doodle and "practice" for fuck hours (mostly cartoonish anatomy), only to lead to nowhere and they've done nothing interesting. i can't count how many times i've seen someone like holly with a big eyesore sketchbook, bragging about how much she's gonna improve, only to have nothing to show for it in the end. she needs to crawl out of this obsessive need to practice and sketch, stop taking advice from cartoonists and deviantart tutorials, and instead learn "tricks" and tips on how renowned artists make their shit look gud. learn to work smarter not harder, holly.

No. 428193

>>428189
I don't think there's really anything wrong with carrying a sketchbook anywhere. It's always good to practice drawing. Sketching is how you improve. Well provided that that's actually the intention and not just to show off in a "oh hey look everyone, look at me sketchbook= ~*artist*~!"

But with Holly's case, even if she show off her big ass sketchbook around and her art still look like potato abominations, then it'll be more proof how much of a big joke and mediocrity she is. I do hope she posts all her sketches in that sketchbook so I can laugh and cringe some more.

No. 428206

>>428189
Just because she has the huge sketchbook doesn't mean she's going to improve. She'll just draw the same monkey armed, potato faced people. It will at least be some nice laughing material.

No. 428210

She's said that she sketches really fucking fast before and I think a lot of her problems in art can be attributed to her not evaluating her sketches afterwards.

She does do some shit in pencil but yeah mostly pen. I think more sketching in pencil is really going to help improve her art. She records most of her process from the start and we don't see her draw under sketches with general shapes and it's not like she can correct anatomy mistakes with pen. I'm sure the weird issues in her art that we like to laugh at like monkey arms, potato faces, wonky anatomy + perspective, etc could be realistically fixed if she didn't sketch like the world is ending.

Those tabs are a cute idea
Holly is just like Baylee where they think finishing a 600 page sketchbook is such a great accomplishment but in reality they haven't improved at all.
I hope their subscribers can at least realize this so they don't end up stagnating like them and the rest of the mediocre artist crew.


And to clear some questions from the first thread, it looks like Holly and Donnie are still friends somewhat

No. 428324

>>428193
Here’s the thing, practice makes permanent NOT perfect. Sketching a lot is great as long as you aren’t drawing the same mistakes over and over again like Holly is. What Holly really needs to do is step back and objectively look at her work to figure out where she needs to improve and then work on those parts. Mindlessly filling 600pg sketchbooks isn’t helping anyone.

There are stuff that bother me in a stylistic kind of way, like his nose getting more and more upward to the point of looking uncomfortable, and his arms with no wrists.

But there are stuff that piss me off because it's just plain wrong, like the way he's holding that wooden pan thing. Any artist can pick up from a model or take a picture of someone posing, just to get the gist of it right. Who holds stuff like this ? Plus it looks like it's made of wood and if it's those cutting board, it's too heavy to be held lightly by the lighter end like a feather or a pen.

The thing that baffles me about Holly is that she'll go through sketching all the way to coloring but refuses to fix her errors or look up references because ??? It takes time ??? It's bothersome ?

She'd rather mass produce something ugly rather than take 20 minutes to check up some animation basics to get started.

She has potential, she's just stuck in a rut and by staying in her comfort zone she's become stagnant. I genuinely believe that she doesn't enjoy doing art anymore shown by all the complaining and failing projects like how she hates 'purgatory' now, and wants to be an animator. She's just hopping around different art professions like its nothing without even touching the fundamentals. If she really enjoyed art she would actively try to grow as an artist as well as bettering herself as a person, instead, she's holed up in her room 24/7, depressed and angry.

Realism she says. Here's an update on these two

No. 428777

>>428631
I sometimes have the feeling that she only does art because she went to an art high school and feels like it's her "duty" or something. And maybe because it's the only thing she thinks she's good at. I mean, she can't even spell properly, her writing sucks (see Purgatory's "story"), she's a terrible communicator and somehow I can't imagine that she's good at math or anything STEM related. Art is at least something she studied for years, so I think she just keeps doing it because she doesn't have any other choice left.

No. 428779

^ This.

No. 428842

>>428777
For the most part, I don't think that she does it only as a duty but she has put herself in this weird place where she has an expectant fanbase who want to see her art, she has comics that she's working on, animations now, an online store and a portfolio that she's going to need to work on if she wants a job in the professional art industry. All of which means that she's probably not stopping to check on her art flaws that or working on her writing that often. Might be stretching but that's my guess.

No. 428848

>>428842
I'm surprised with all the sketching she does she hasn't thrown up her hands. That sketchbook challenge is honestly a recipe for burn out, I wonder if the art we're seeing now is the fall out of her drawing too damn much and not taking the time to understand where her mistakes are. Idk, just a thought, I could be wrong.

What Holly should do instead of repeatedly sketching the same mistakes over and over again, is to practice from real life/photo references. People, not just motorcycles. I get she wants to draw cartoony and wonky, but she really needs fundamentals. Her mistakes are beginner ones that can't be justified with style.

If she went to a good life drawing course and got constructive criticism she could at least learn how to give some balance characters so they won't float off the ground. But she doesn't listen to any critique…

No. 429171

>>428848
If she knew how to hold the pen properly in ergonomic way and press lightly, it wouldn't be an issue at all. Professional illustrators easily draw 8 hours a day 6 days a week, it takes precaution and understanding how to do it safely. Total kek she did a video on how to avoid injuries, while she doesn't hold the pen correctly.

If you look at her old art she focused a lot harder at studies and life drawing. This was when she was at the art high school and when she went to an IRL college. There's a lot of wonk to her older work but the kind you expect from learning and experimentation.

Watching her sketchbook tour playlist is a great way to see her decline. It's fascinating. Like once she moves into the thick black lines you can see the nose dive in quality. In the course of two years she 'discovers her style' and then never draws anything with the slightest bit of potential from that point onward.

That particular drawing reminded me of Holly's style and I thought it'd be interesting to talk about regarding style and anatomy.

Even assuming that you didn't self-post, the example you posted isn't that much better. The pose is stiff, the anatomy is off and the perspective is wonky. The use of contrast with details is a little interesting but overall the piece isn't really something to aspire to…

As they say "Birds of a feather flock together", it's quite disturbing though how she's targeting such a young and immature audience to buy her shit. It's quite easy to manipulate a young audience by telling them shit they want to hear like 'art teachers are wrong', 'Stop copying X, Y or C' etc. Sometimes I feel like her 'edgy' or offensive humor is to make up for her lack of personality and in turn, she's seen as 'honest' or 'real' when really she's just an asshole that's promoting a shitty behavior.

No. 429469

I saw that as well. Looking back at her older videos, she didn't seem as crude (I could be wrong though, I found her maybe a couple of months ago) I think she thinks that by being a total bitch it's make her stand out against someone like Baylee, who is pretty bitchy but is bit more sneaky about it.

I also find it disturbing how Holly loves to sexualize her characters and wants to draw Simon and the small guy fucking and she only aged them up "fixed proportions" so she could do this… like I'm not a prude… at least have nice anatomy… at least

If you are talking about star fighter, they started that comic a long time ago. It was your basic yaoi story, but in space. Seme rapes uke, they fall in love. It worked well for them.

As for Holly they had the same idea. And it worked brilliantly. However she has no resolve and is trying to make merch for a comic that barely has one chapter… and re drew the one chapter even though they didn't improve over the last year. A normal person would keep drawing the comic, even if the styles change a lil.

No. 429513

Yeah, that never sat well with me. I get showing the progression of a couple from their teens into their adult years, but only aging them up to show them doing the nasty just seems a bit weird. idk, maybe I'm just a big prude who doesn't like to see little boys doing shit together, but it's gross.

yo could I ask you guys for advice? I'm applying for university this year and I know that I want to go into art… except I have no idea what profession… I enjoy drawing figures but I'm also really into animation and then there's fashion etc etc. Basically I'm scared to get pigeonholed into something I don't enjoy but if I don't I'll never get anywhere kek. I'm in the UK so it's somewhat affordable with loans and I know if I wanna be a 'real' profession like for a company it will take a decade or more to get there. What kind of art do you guys enjoy? Would you work for a company e.g. concept art for blizzard (long term ideal job) or something. Idk i need to get my shit together… I really apppreciate it you guys

You could always experiment with everything. There's a lot of parts in animation such as character design, clothing design, color design, concept, animation, etc. For me, I'm doing storyboarding and concept, for either in the animation world or video game (I enjoy both). It'd be cool to work for a game company such as Blizzard or Naughty Dog and it's something I'd like to do in the future. Also, please make sure to sage since it doesn't relate with this thread.

You could get into story boarding, character/concept design, illustration or a fashion designer (as in those who have to design the drawings and patterns to go on the clothes). I'm only really familiar with the Japanese university courses, not the UK ones, but you could probably find a niche one that accommodate these jobs over there. I just like drawing and comics in general, so when I graduate from my manga and anime course in high school, I'll go straight into a manga university. Employers often go to universities or artist events to find new talent

not to be mean but was there nowhere else to ask that? Asking advice for life off a thread is odd but I'll oblige. Generally, get yourself into digital. Art is a competitive field and you need digital to survive nowadays. Wouldn't necessarily do animation unless you're super passionate about it + willing to learn and please don't ever go to an online art school like Holly does. Not conductive to improvement.

I mean online school isn't that bad, but only if you're going to a school that's credited with a good learning outcome such as CGMA or Schoolism. In Holly's case, she's attending a school that just doesn't give a shit unless you fork over money.

I never bothered to look at Holly's comics, specifically Purgatory, until just now. Putting aside everything else about her art, the speech bubbles are so crooked. The text size varies and is placed awkwardly in the bubbles. The gutters are different sizes. There's so much empty space in close-up panels, so many tangents, and everything is just laid out so poorly. Why does her comic and art in general have so many followers?

Maybe if you already have an iPad pro then it's worth to just buy the Apple pencil to go with it, but otherwise it's just throwing money down the drain.

It's not backwards, she's obviously just used a fat hand for reference. Sometimes fat hands are puffy underneath the pinky like its puffy where the thumb is

No. 434280

>>434267
Ooooor maybe she's just lazy and not only was she too arrogant to reference, but she didn't bother putting in the effort to draw that weird-ass hand properly. Did it not register to her that she was drawing that hand that bad? I mean I'm just a hobbyist and most of the time I catch my mistakes after I've properly drawn something but I tend to notice something's off right away if I fuck up something real bad. Surely a 'real' artist like Holly would be at least somewhat better at this?

I'm not trying to say Holly doesn't put her time into drawing and has a decent work ethic, but I think her problem here is that she doesn't give a singular fuck about what she's drawing and just draws to be able to say she drew and "lOok how HARD i drAW!!".
She puts no effort into single sketches (not bothering to sketch out with pencil underneath her pen sketches, not bothering to correct backward hands, her reluctance to properly reference things, etc.) and does not care about the quality of her art, which keeps her from improving. And I think that's why she works so hard – when you put little to no effort into each drawing, it's easy to doodle for 8+ hours a day and it's even easier to delude yourself into thinking that you've worked hard. Art is just getting her thoughts down on paper for her, and for a professional artist who's working in a highly competitive market to appeal to a bunch of other people who are NOT her, that's not all that matters, but I don't think she truly realizes that.

I'm sure if she gave a singular shit about what she was putting down on paper, her art would skyrocket.

It is backwards.
That line from the from the bottom of the finger down is curved in a way that simulates the portion of the palm where the thumb is. It is also too short to be a pinky. I would illustrate what I mean in an example image but my phone doesn't allow me to post images here.

Before anything, she needs to learn basic anatomy. How delusional is she to think she can do an animation without even understanding how the body works and moves? Her characters are all stiff and badly proportioned. She will never improve if she doesn't learn the bases. Also she obviously doesn't know what a key pose is, which is the base of animation… Guess she didn't even bother to watch some animation tutorials.

uh i mean not necessarily, there are plenty of animation meme channels run by literal 14 yr olds who do it better than Holly a 21 yr old, and its not b/c they have fantastic anatomyies
They just understand how things actually move and timing leagues better,
Holly- Other than all her humans looking like stiff puppets, her timing is so hard to look at and it takes away the beauty of frame by frame animation
I think part of the reason why her animations look so fast is b/c she probably animates at 24 frames a second (b/c she prefers quantity over quality) and hasn't learned to animate on 2's yet either

I agree that this statement is a priority if her animations r going to become tolerable any time soon

Typical edge-lord Holly “animates” a cartoon gay boy snorting coke. Don’t know why she redrew the background over and over again. And I’m not sure what Holly is trying to achieve in animating cartoon people doing drugs. She’s already regretting Purgatory for the nsfw content. For someone like Holly who wants to profit as a comerical artist she’s really narrowing he audiences.

Again, her timing is shit. I would have no idea what the fuck was going on if she didn't state that he was "snorting coke", it just looked like he was bowing down in front of a mirror.

>She’s already regretting Purgatory for the nsfw content

I actually thought the nsfw content was one of the few things she still liked about it, considering she announced that she wants to make the next part as "fucked up" and "gay" as possible.

yeah can't think what it is, maybe a wood block for printing? Two segments the same thickness with a pointless gap between them is not how a heel works of course.

She hasn't got a sense of form of things because she doesn't know what their function is. She doesn't know what the muscles do. She just draws a drawing of a drawing, scratching out and redrawing lines until it reminds her enough of what she saw last time she was scrinching her grinch to cartoon gay porn. Disgusting goblin

Agree with you Anon. I've noticed that most of these passive aggressive 'artist mistakes' videos are usually made by young people who have very mediocre art "styles", who still have yet to grasp basic fundamentals; they end up being hypocrites and do what's in the video anyway. You'll never find Kim Jung Gi making a bitchy video about artists mistakes eventhough he does actually have the credibility to do so. You know why? Because hes mature and actually focuses on teaching you core principles instead of this self induced importance and self riteousness. I'll never be able to take these 'artist rants' artists seriously, they have no skill and are just trying to get views of young kids.

Probably a travel sketchbook.
I've seen some artists in my country do this (others do postcards instead like in pic related), but seriously most of those artist's travel sketches look rushed. I know some people would try doing a loose-watercolor style, but there are only a handful that would pull it off.

I would buy those postcards in pic related if they gave more effort in doing them. Kinda like in James Gurney's sketchbooks.

Anon, as much as the anons here want to roast her for the way she is, I know a few of them would want her to improve so she can save face and not make an embarrassment of herself, but judging from what we've seen she still hasn't improved, both art and personality-wise.

Hmm she mentioned in the video that she got in a few years ago, so I'm assuming she applied when she got out of highschool which is when her art was the most interesting?

She lost it when a professional told her that you're supposed to plan and thumbnail everything in order to work in the industry.

Looks like SHE can do that, but professional don't even have to DARE giving advices.
She got all "I can do stuff without thumbnailing, how about that" and got all defensive about how she were treated like shit just because she has her own method and blah. Thumbnails are stupid, I draw as I go, whatever man blah blah blah
Some time later she started trying out thumbnails and then found somebody selling thumbnail books and of course she had to steal the idea because she wanted people to buy her stuff.
Because, you know. She wants to provide "original stuff" and then flat out states to steal ideas.

The way holly makes her merch is so hideous and sloppy she cant even be bothered to cut the stickers out nice. The edges are jagged and so unaligned.

She should really give up the "illustrator" bs and just put effort into graphic design. That's the only skill she seems to care about.

It's sad that she doesn't actually care about getting better at drawing. She possibly did at one point, but then she realized she could just make money swindling kiddos on youtube with rants talking herself up like an industry veteran. She seems to think she'll be fine as long as she can keep getting followers to buy her poorly made crap. That's probably a huge reason why she fights back if someone crits her publicly. She doesn't want her fans to expect her to put the work in to improve her quality.

If only she'd smarten up and realize if she actually put that effort into getting good and be less of a shitlord she'd make a lot more money (to pay off all that expensive equipment she doesn't need). Here's hoping she uses that new ipad to read a Bridgeman or Loomis book.

It's funny that I know a lot of artists who have them but don't bother using them as references. At this point I only assume the majority who don't improve tend to brag all of their art materials on their social media to look "pro".

I seriously feel like she thinks she so much better than all the other YouTube artists and puts herself above them. It's such an ugly attitude. She throws shade about Baylee and then tries to be her friend, like how two faced can you be?

I'd never buy someone's studies, unless they're a master which she's clearly not. A lot of people sell sketchbooks but usually it's like a PDF on gumroad or themed around a subject, and people basically buy it mostly to support the artist rather than to get the book.

The only art books I’d even consider buying are from professionals that have nice well done sketches or someone like Kim JungGi.

And they aren’t pleasing to look at either. Tbh, she should’ve just made a pdf version that’s like $2 cuz who the hell is gonna pay $20 for flat disproportionate drawings

No. 444009

I think Holly enjoys making merch more than she enjoys making the artwork itself. From her vlogs, it seems she's always trying out different avenues for merchandise, like when she was trying to figure out how to make custom shapes sketchbooks, the pencil cases, all the stickers, pins, etc. I think that's kind of cool but of course, she doesn't produce nice enough artwork to make any of the products worth buying. If she enjoys making products more, she should think about becoming a supplier for other artists, like JellieBee (If I'm not mistaken, she was making prints and stickers for other artists)
It just seems she's more excited about making the products rather than working on the content itself, ala Paranormal Plague.

Holy shit… Why is putting that in there necessary? She shouldn't need filler because she draws a shit ton of her own work.

Like, it's not even justifiable compared to those sculpture studies because at least those can look really impressive to someone with little drawing experience. But a fucking sphere, cone, and cube? Shittly rendered, at that? Is she gonna throw in some upside down contour exercises, too?

No. 444028

It blows my mind how absolutely abhorrent and despicable her attitude is. Especially towards art.
I've come to realize how much she actually dislikes art and making art, because if she actually liked it – she would be drawing fluently, taking critiques (even asking for them) and just genuinely trying to learn.

Holly doesn't want to be an artist, being an artist is a difficult and tedious road. Maybe at one point she did, back when she actually had an interesting style and seemed to love her work (red and black art phase) as well as had a very strong imagination. But now, I'm not sure what happened. Could it be she began to regress into the stubborn attitude because she just can't handle critique? Did someone give her damaging advice? I don't know.

Holly, if you're reading this, please – if you don't like to draw or create anymore, just stop. You don't have to go into every field of art to "prove" you still love it, because you don't. If you like writing stories and creating characters, get an artist who enjoys drawing to do the actual comic art. If you like making merchandise, become a supplier. If you like animating, become an in-betweener.
You don't need to stress out anymore about art and being classified an artist. Just let it go, stop drawing.
Help others instead of trying to deceive them.

Nah, I agree with you. It's pretty ballsy to put shapes in there and use that as the "sneak peek" like it's so great.

I do think Holly still likes art, but her approach is so cynical, she only does things she thinks will make her money. Since deciding that comics can't be a career for her she's completely stopped updating. Even all the merch she shits out - it's like she can't justify drawing her characters unless she turns them into stickers for profit or some shit.

I thought Holly had a decent grasp on creating products to sell until she started pushing stuff with her random OC. Her old ‘comic layout’ sketchbooks and thumbnail sketchbooks seemed like they might actually sell as did her old (slightly poorly drawn) fanart stickers.

Did she seriously call Jake Parker's (impressively detailed) work simpler than hers?! Holly's art is the simplest shit and looks like pseudo-cubistic teletubbies. And it appears she's been to a figure drawing session to draw the model all wonky too, instead of studying anatomy like you're supposed to.

My theory is that she twitches and fidgets and can't sit still for 10 seconds straight, that's why even her referenced work is all over the place direction wise. She draws aggressively fast, which isn't really a wonder as she clearly is loaded with passionate rage towards everyone & everything.

I still have about 3 weeks of my skillshare trial left, so I gave it a watch. The 22 panels that always work was kinda interesting because I'd never seen that before, but she basically just read out someone else's work, she didn't even redraw the examples.

The rest is ok, but also pretty unhelpful for a beginner. She also showed a few pages that were just talking heads and shot/reverse shot which she explicitly said would be boring in the intro. Most of her pages don't look like her advice in general.

So Holly might be on to something here but she still isn’t under-drawing. Drawing shapes to build form is a great way to cartoon but I don’t think Holly really understands this technique. When she executes a drawing technique I don’t think Holly realizes what that skill is trying to improve. Hence Holly’s inability to explain how to draw using shapes to build form.
This skill does nothing when the artist isn’t thinking of their character in 3D.

What really stood out to me as the moment I realized Holly didn't actually like art was when she talked about Purgatory and her other art and why she didn't like it, she only talked about how other people don't like it and how it effects her "image". The second she said the word "image" I knew there was something up.
I think that Holly once really liked art, but because of her depressed attitude (she made a vid on this recently but she also had the cutting marks on her arms since these threads started) she saw that people liked her work and turned instead to other people for justification. She found happiness in drawing characters, as evident by her quality back then, but the second people liked her work THAT became her happiness instead, which is why everything is about sell sell sell and not having pride in her work anymore.
And now the reason she's stopped doing comics and has been making the depression vlogs is because she doesn't even find happiness in drawing/other people at all because people like us point out how flawed and broken it is (which you can see in a lot of her vlogs now with her complaining about people not liking her tutorials or not liking Purgatory, even though she was the one who said she didn't like the comic on her own tumblr after a fan complimented it).
She's spiraling into the hole of looking for praise from other people instead of looking to herself, spending more time chasing different art mediums to find more fans to feed her weak ego instead of proving to HERSELF that she can be good, and I think it's slowly driving her crazy.

You know what, before teaching people she should UNDERSTAND a concept. This is something she clearly read somewhere (and it's true, even though thinking in shapes is not for everybody, even professionals can work with exterior lines only. Depends on how your brain reads the masses) and that she for one can't apply properly.
She can't teach how to use shapes because she doesn't KNOW how to use shapes. She pretends to know stuff scribbling some dark areas in a sketch but it only highlights her lack of knowledge.
>>444682
It's fun that this is exactly what she says other people do and that pisses her off.
I honestly think there might be something wrong with her because she says something and the minute after says the opposite and both times she's being quite a bitch about both opinions.
Like she said countless times that she's better than so and so, that she's great and blah, she always acts like she's the new messiah of the art; then she's genuinely disappointed because she doesn't understand why people think she has a god complex. Because she knows her stuff sucks.

She is pretty open about her mental illness, so I guess you could say that there's something "wrong" with her for sure. It doesn't seem like she's in any treatment and her attitude towards her art/on social media is basically geared towards complete self-destruction of her personal brand, or she'll fuck up her wrist drawing another 600 pages of mindless doodles, whichever comes first, and then she'll have to deal with herself.

Not a fan of Holly and I haven't watched this, but this is called microlearning and it's a legitimate technique that's currently gaining a lot of popularity. It breaks down big ideas and courses into 2-4 minute micro-learning sessions, that people can easily absorb. It helps people not get overwhelmed, and makes it easier to pause and come back, instead of doing the entire course at once. While I can't speak to the quality of her course, the individual videos being short isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Hmmmm. I thought it was in the past already since she stopped cutting her left arm (well the scars were already light in some of her videos so…).

And I find it weird bc I know a lot of artists (both good and bad skill-wise) who sort of openly tweet about wanting to die. I do too, a lot, though I don't tweet about it and instead do something actually productive.

I do hope she gets professional help, she might get back on track if she does so. My friend once sought professional help, but once she stopped visiting she reverted back to her old suicidal self and started to refuse to take meds. She even gets angry if ppl remind her of that (but then again a lot of ppl don't know how to properly deal with people who have depression).

Oh poor Holly has a six page forum dedicated to how shit she is as a person and an artist. When really it’s only two and it highlights how pathetic she is.

Unless she truly did find another forum - I don’t frequent pull other than Kanadajin3 stuff - does she have a thread there?

No lie, I loved her old art. I wish she'd make more of them. Also one of the recent gems from her are the gouache candy artwork she posted sometime ago.

>she's regressed

She regressed prolly because she was mainly working on her comics. And from there I guess she was trying to work faster (and she ends up fucking up the comic with all the typos, errors and whatnot). Idk why but ever since she wanted to make animations and comics I guess she tried doing a simpler style thus explaining on how she regressed in art. If she does continue on working on her "style" I hope she'd do more observational sketches as well as try drawing different face shapes using ACTUAL people as reference so she won't end up giving the characters she draws Jay Leno chin syndrome. Doing that actually helps a lot of artists in getting better at perspective and in drawing characters and bodies in general.

Any thoughts on Holly suddenly talking about cutting recently? I'm not saying it's a bad thing since I do think some of what she says is good, and I feel like more people need to realize it's not always for attention.

Does anyone else think it's weird how she often seems so occupied with making merch for her comics/art, like stickers and pins and art books and stuff?

I find it hilarious that Baylee and Holly are the exact opposite, but similar at the same time. No chin vs long ass jay leno chins, works too slow vs works too fast, both complain at critique, love their asses being kissed by their fans, buys too much stuff, etc. Also, Im guessing Holly is trying to prepare for the industry with a portfolio, but with her attitude and the stuff she currently produces, I think it's gonna be a little bit hard for her to get hired…especially with these forums going around. I wonder if she's going to make a video about that…

Both her PULL and snow threads come up before a lot of her other social media, but I think her twitter and some of her tumblr asks may be bigger turn-offs for employers.

Some of her stuff looks pretty stylish, like that candy study she did. I can see her pulling some gigs for that sort of thing, but most of her tumblr and YT is just doodles and teenage boys canoodling, and apparently she doesn't think you need a proper portfolio.

No. 447842

Yeah, I agree, but I think she may have gotten out touch with those types of art..I think she needs to draw more from life and work on animating, if that's what she's striving for. Basically work from the beginning, which is gonna set her back a bit and that's fine. She has all the money to spend in the world and I'm confused as to why she doesn't use it towards classes that'll she'll benefit from or books like Richard William's.

Kind of? Having your own website is not necessary, obviously, but it can potentially add credibility to your portfolio and increase your chances of employment. Having a tumblr blog with custom domain is fine, but having your own site let's you do more with it. Portfolio pages are not that hard to make either and there are tons of cheap hosting choices.

Using tumblr as a portfolio site is okay if you want to appeal to people who want you to draw commissions of their pet or oc or things like that, but if you want to have a "serious career" and do illustrations for books, ads, websites and things like that, you are going to get dismissed because it reeks of unprofessionalism, just like deviantart or having a yahoo or hotmail email, no matter how good your stuff is. Having a portfolio of about 10 pieces on a portfolio website and using instagram to post other finished works is an easy and good enough way to go imo, and it's super fucking easy and simple to set up. She's so lazy it hurts

>>448272
She's so fucking stupid. Of course being an artist isn't for everyone because, like in other regular jobs, you should have certain qualities to make it, and if she thinks being an artist is being starved and poor and depressed, she clearly doesn't have those qualities and this job is not for her. Jesus christ. How does she think she's going to get jobs if she never socializes? 80% of your job is getting connections and using them to get work! And the beauty of being a freelancer is that you can set your own working times, so if she's "chained to a desk" and still isn't making money, she's doing something very very wrong or she should just admit she's an amateur and not a professional.

using a tumblr for your portfolio isn't a turn off in the least amongst professionals. I've heard from plenty of people in animation, especially TV that explicitly look through tumblr and twitter when looking for people to send tests to and in the school i attend the administration puts emphasis on opening a tumblr to create post your work on.
The majority of people don't care as long as your work is accessible and easy to view be it on tumblr, blogspot, or your own domain.

No. 448560

>>448543
Really? I guess it's country specific then, and different for, let's say, animators and illustrators, and for what kind of work you want to do and customers to attract. It's better for an animation studio to get a new talent that already has a fanbase so the fans will start watching the show, so that might be why they search for them in tumblr?

Sorry for being an OT fag, but it's really interesting to hear that some industries prefer a tumblr while for others it's a sign of amateurism.

But anyway, holly is a total dumb ass for not having any kind of a portfolio. Maybe she wouldn't be such a poor and struggling "artist" if she actually, you know, tried

Relatability is what sells, my friend. Sometimes fanart too since I learned that this one guy was able to land an art directing job in a big agency despite not graduating art school. His art is mainly digital portraits though, and usually his subject matter are celebrities (which rakes a shitton of likes). I wish he would go farther than that because that guy has potential but his head is far up his own ass thanks to his popularity.

Just because we don't like Holly's attitude doesn't mean we can scoff at her mental issues – especially if some of us might have scars ourselves.
This post was incredibly petty and unneeded. Plus, it just makes us more sympathetic to her – if we weren't already previously.
I don't wish Holly ill, I dislike her but in the end we're all human - some of us even artists ourselves - and we just want her to listen to reason, and this kinda stuff just cements the fact that she's only this way because she curls herself behind her snarky attitude and crowds of whiteknights when she's very insecure.

I feel like she would have to do a rehaul of all her fundamentals knowledge if she wanted to go into porn and lewd art, unless she wants to care to a niche and lucrative crowd like bimbos in diapers or something. It's hard to draw erotic shit when every character doesn't even feel like they're occupying a 3D space in her work. There's definitely artists who are good at using more abstracted/flatter styles to convey intimacy, but this isn't cutting it.


Honestly, though, considering how often she jumps career or skill trajectories, I wouldn't be surprised if she did try to look into drawing porn.

Oh I actually didn't know his last name was Sanchez. But the reason why I think his features look white is because this character used to be white like this anon >
>>449915 said, here's some art from the high sketchbook tour from that era
It just rubs me the wrong way when I think about Holly, a white fugoshit texan girl, foaming at the mouth over her hispanic OC and then giving her black character, Princess, a snobby high maintenance personality and sort of bad mouthing her sometimes
Not saying white people cant draw or write POC but Holly is such a shit writer that I can't help but take a little offense at her attempts

Can't believe I finally reached the end after reading these threads for so long.
As many did I discovered Holly over her "Anatomy Mistakes" video and at first found her really entertaining and hilarious. I have a few artist friends but never really watches YT art channels and it was refreshing to see someone talk normal and not in that high pitched cutie tone while drawing some sparkly magical girl OC. But Hollys act got bad real fast. There are so many videos in which she says "Well I don't care, but" and then proceeds to spend 20 minutes of her time explaining why she doesn't care but is also so much better. The entire zodiac video with the centaur was just "this yt collab team made a thing and didn't invite me, so I'm gonna make it myself and do it better". Like gurl. Really. Noone wants to hear that kinda shit. If you don't care about something don't make a dozen videos about it…
Never really liked her art that much but her vlogs are kinda relaxing to just have them playing in the background while I do something else. Her advise in those tutorial vids tho? As someone who is shitty at art and wants to get into the habit of drawing it's just really painful to watch. They're just half bad advice and half hating on other people. It gets real old real fast.

>Hispanics can be white-passing
Actually Hispanics can be literally white, not just white-passing.. hispanic is not race, it's an umbrella term for people of all Spanish speaking countries, which can be either white majority (Argentina), indigenous majority (Peru), black majority (Dominican Republic), or mixed-race majority (almost all of them). Here's a picture of Cuban kids, white, mixed-race, and black.

Holly get your fucking ass out of the clouds, we all know you’re a filthy fujoshi that designates hetero roles onto every gay guy you see.

My friend used to be a massive one, it takes a second to realise how they only accept the.. ahem “uke” if they act incredibly feminine either in normal life or in sex and have barely any desire to put their dicks in things. They see them as a woman in a man’s body.
The only reason Holly relates to male characters all the time is BECAUSE ITS A MALE BODY. She isn’t comfortable with hetero relationships because it scares her, she probably hasn’t had many, if any, boyfriends and sees a hetero relationship as a struggle due to her experience in school.
Most fujoshis think that a gay relationship is different and more committed, they believe in the mentality that they can’t possibly fall out of love since they have a ~genuine~ spiritual connection (unlike the str8z)

Also, no, Holly, it's not. If the person deleted, they didn't want their work on the internet and you, as the morally-conscious person you apparently are, should respect that or whatever. (Or at least pretend to respect others in order to save your brand.)

Not exactly my cup of tea on the art, but way nicer looking than Holly's and Baylee's.

Not the worst she has drawn. She should pretty much stick to this style instead of attempting at realism. Although the balancing issues and all the wobbly skewiness are still blatantly obvious.

I have a theory about Youtube artists after reading the ot thread.
I think their entire artistic arsenal is comprised of "tips" they learned online. So their art is a collection of different techniques to try and make something look good.
They never learned how to actually draw and just went straight to using tips which are meant to spice up someone's art that was already good before they used the tips.
This is also why they insist on "educating" everyone with their "knowledge" as they are actually hugely inspired by tips, tricks and online "knowledge" rather than art itself.
Basically they took these tips the wrong way, as a fast track to being "good" while never recognising why a skilled artist is actually good.

I think her being so reclusive is just making everything worse. She definitely shouldn't have dropped on campus art school; she shouldn't stay isolated inside her house that she claims to hate. It's making everything worse. She needs to go out and see people. I know it made my depression better to stop reclusing from everyone and go out and just be around people. If she has the resources to see a therapist to help her she needs to go because being so focused on trying to stop the negativity leaves very little energy for anything else.

I know that having mental issues makes these things hard, but her issues aren't going to get better if she doesn't try.

She highlighted some pages of her sketchbook on Instagram captioning them like “cartoons are harder than realism”. I don’t know why she keeps doing this. I mean, yes it can be true but it’s only because successful cartoon stylisation require a huge grasp on anatomy and hVinh a certain flow and harmony. She acts and talks like she’s great at realism when everything I see is a mediocre copy that’s obviously rushed.

OT but I really think she needs to take a break, from at least her millions of projects and maybe do different things IRL with the money she makes.

I think it's terrible advice (coming from her) to do a different art thing just because you don't feel like doing one type art that day, when she seems to force herself to do another thing she's got a passing interest in.

Instead of machine gunning art out without any real study or practice or focus, she could be focusing in on her coursework to actually improve.

If she's really that depressed and her personal projects don't bring her joy, she'll get no joy in trying to push through making them ,no matter what medium she decides to fart around with on any given day. She lacks focus and discipline.

"if you don't want to do any of that, then I don't think you want to be doing art for a living"

Honestly therapy or getting better mentally won't even help if there's nothing in your life to make it worth getting better for. It's a deep hole, and ime not one worth getting out of.

I wish she'd stayed at an on campus school too. Even without friends, it's still leagues better than isolation was. At least you have your teachers and classmates to see regularly.

Her versions not paying attention to how the shadows actually work and she's just copying whats darker/lighter without thinking why. Theres no subtlety. Shes ignoring how core shadows and cast shadows work and you can see this most comparing the cheek and side the nose on the original and her copy. If she didnt just trace actually studying would be valuable to learn how to treat shadow. Look up core shadow to learn more for your own art.
+her mark making is super sloppy and ignores the actual form of the object. The pencil marks should depict the turning of the forms in space. She just scribbles to get it over with.

Only a few tweets ago Holly was complaining about how YouTube is filled with 'art tips' and no real learning… Then she does this, honestly I thinks she's a master troll at this point lol.

No. 466576

Haven't been paying attention to this thread much recently but the recent stuff she posted under her animation dump was depressing. I know this has been brought up before but I'm pretty sure she has ADHD, Aspergers, or another spectrum disorder. It's pretty obvious she has learning difficulties either way because its hard for us to even comprehend what's going on in her head sometimes.

I've recently been referred to a specialist about it myself, and it's spooky the similarities I share with her. Her impulsive buying, her impulsive videos based whatever she's seen most recently, her periods of hyper focus followed by boredom and project switching.

It may be possible that this is the reason she can't study for shit. Like she sits down to try something and is actually physically incapable of making her brain do it.

Sorry if this is too much white knighty, but spectrum disorders can really fuck you up. I have a million coping mechs and am high functioning, but here I am spearing on lolcow instead of doing my art. It can take me hours to convince my brain to work, and it so frusterating.

Anyways, since Holly does read here, go get tested. You aren't going to figure out anything if your brain is fucked and you aren't aware of it.

god damnit no. You, and Holly and me, are LAZY. There is nothing 'wrong with your brain'. Do not take medication. Those symptoms are exactly those of LAZINESS. That's why we act like that.

Okay, good to know all the research on ADHD and spectrum disorders. All those brain scans must be fake. Glad to have someone set the record straight. Let me just will away my dyslexia too while I'm at it. But maybe you're to lazy to do the research.

No. 466641

>>466576
While I agree that Holly could have a spectrum disorder I feel like a lot of Holly's art related problems developed after her rise to fame. Much of Holly's earlier work showed potential for her age and Holly seemed willing to devote time to learning her craft. Unfortunately, since the internet fame hit, Holly has stopped trying to actually improve and instead just spits out as much work as she can in order to keep her viewers entertained.

No. 466660

>>466641
Yeah, I'm not saying it's for sure the reason. But she's always looking for shortcuts instead of putting in effort. I just feel like if you're so stressed about not being able to pick a project that you're joking about suicide…like maybe its time to consider your laziness isn't something you can overcome alone.

Fuck her ego though, the fact she's up her own ass about her skills drives me crazy. Her recent video reminded me of why I can't stand her.

No. 466699

Fuck off anon, not even here to wk Holly but there are numerous disorders that can impact your brain and make you unable to focus no matter what.
I don't know if she's on the spectrum but Holly's lack of focus and her impulse buying could also be a result of her depression, depression fucks with your brain way more than people seem to know. It seems like she's trying to find whatever is easiest and least stressful but there's no such thing, everything art-related requires hard work.

No. 466731

I guess my point is not to dismiss those disorders so much as to say you can easily be that ineffective without disorders. Just bad habits. But now that you mention it, depression would be the most obvious suspect

>>466731
I'd def say that her depression is part of it. I just know she did a test a while back for autism and scored really high for the possibility (a test her mom got her to try because she works with special needs kids). Holly went on to say that she thinks its because every artist is on the spectrum.

Buuuut none of my art friends got even close to her score. That and watching her doing school assignments (math and history) just makes me think she should (at the very least) see someone about it.

I feel like as long as she doesn't get serious about getting help she'll just keep spiraling, at least with depression it's quite easy to get help these days. He also seems to have maintained a massive ego somehow, which just blindsides her.

And not to blog, but ngl as someone with severe depression who's probably on the spectrum (I highly suspect it but idk how to get tested), I see many similarities between Holly's behaviors and things I've experienced while I was at my worst including her shopping habits and constant flip-flopping between projects, it seems to make a lot of sense.

Same anon, I don't like her but I think the majority of her shit attitude is linked back to her being super depressed. But also, she needs to take action to get help and to want to get better. I feel like people have mentioned this before, but as someone who was in the pit once, you have to put forth the effort to get help. Idk, it's sad watching this happen to someone, but some of it is her own doing.

>this salad is only 300 calories covers it in sauces
Between this, still drinking soda and thinking the thing that hurts in pasta is the pasta itself, it’s no wonder she’s not making progresses with her diet.
Before you say anything: carbs CAN be good for you and in most pre made sauces the calories and amount of fat are so insanely massive that blaming the carbs is just ridiculous.
>traced bust confirmed
> doesn’t even know her own computer
I personally researched for months before buying my Mac and I picked the model that had expandable ram on purpose. For what she does a 4K is useless. The model I got costed less and was More practical. That’s why you think about stuff for real before investing that much money.
>can’t spend 300 bucks on ram, decides to still waste 100/200 on a stand.
I don’t know it looks like money are burning her pockets or something. She could have avoided expenses entirely at this point but decided to spend quite some monies On accessories.
>It’s my first time trying the midori, so I bought three two of which made of leather and I must say I don’t like them
Mh. I don’t know guys she’s just spending money for the sake of doing it, at this point. Covers for midoris can be pricy af especially if they’re genuine leather.
I’ve been pondering a lot of grabbing one for myself, but since they’re not exactly cheap it would be just luxury. And, again. She got 3. And makes fun of those who uses multiple planners and stuff.

I don’t know why she always feel the need to be the one knowing everything and talking down and/or shit about everyone and everything.
Her whole “let me explain this to you” is so cringy because she doesn’t know what she is talking about half of the time (and I’m being good here).

No. 470026

First of all, 8$ a page is NOTHING, flatting a page can easily take a full day of work even using shortcuts depending on the style and the requirements for the flats (half shaded/gradiented/special effects, etc). Of course if you base your knowledge you will find those prices, holly. Professionals would say that flat colours STARTS at 25$ per page. I was considering apply because money is money but honestly 8$? Never accepted such a low paid job in my whole career in the industry. Even my first gigs were better paid than that.
It’s admirable that she’s willing to pay, but that’s just a 15 something fanboy job; you can’t ask for experienced people or shit like that with this kind of salary.
Also new vid in which she’s oh so professional oh the thumbnails are crucial oh god you can’t live without them. I wonder if she still has the “thumbnails sucks and if you use them you’re a loser” video still up.

I think Holly mentioned in a fairly recent vlog that she doesn't use the paint bucket tool because of the custom brush she uses to do her inks/lines (she said it didn't work or something). But, even if that's true and she isn't just being a snob, then why tf would she just not get a better brush? Her lines aren't even worth texturing now that they're so thin, it's just a waste of time…
>>470194
And that was just the flats for one (albeit large) panel. Imagine having like several landscapes or tons of little objects on one page.
Not to mention how sloppy Holly's lineart is in general, it would drive me up the wall to have to figure out what's what with how she draws people holding objects.

No. 470653

Besides Holly thinking the bucket tool is cheating, I believe in her most recent art tips video her last tip is to not worry about closing your lines when inking because it can improve gesture according to her. If she really does this then it'd be a bitch for her to try to use the bucket tool anyway with all the gaps in the line art.

you can close the gap with a stroke of color on another layer and use the paintbucket tool after that, so I still think it's a lame excuse

Off topic but there's algorithms that are like smart paint bucket. Not what you'd hand up as a professional but good enough for Holly's shit. About 30 clicks and 2 minutes gets you this far.

Maybe she realised she’s not as good as she yells to be.
Also hearing her talk about how her problem was the lineart is so painful. “Western comics” that uses thick lines also uses line variation, so backgrounds and details won’t merge together. She is always talking like she knows the truth of the world but even with her new making comics video she is just being incredibly ignorant.
It’s not just the character she mentioned to have an elongated face (guys, looks like now it’s his character, not her standard horse face stencil for everything she drew) and saying it looks weird from other angles just means she is not capable of moving shapes and picture masses in 3d. It’s not like it looks off because of the face, it looks off because she can’t draw that face in that angle.

I think she was on to something with the thick lines being too distracting, but in her case it was a good thing because it distracted from how genuinely unappealing her style is. I bet that's why people started bitching about the change, because now they realise she's actually just shit.

Holly is getting waaay ahead of herself thinking about prints and merch. No one has any reason to give a fuck about Herschel or Blondie or Emo. Give us a reason to give a fuck about them.
Also, I like the way she draws food. I'd buy the food stickers, honestly.
>>475273
Paranormal Plague is off to a better start than Purgatory. I backed the Kickstarter for Purgatory and I have the limited edition version of the book. It's pretty bad because it's basically a drama where nothing dramatic happens, and her writing on a sentence level and an story level are both pretty bad. I think the best parts of the book are where she sprinkles in some comedy, and I think comedy is more the focus of PP. So I'm… cautiously optimistic?

Pretty sure every youtuber with lots of subscribers are like that. Some of them have decent merch while others' look half-assed. Holly's is pretty okay though the white outlines on the food >>475224 seem too big. Also the pretzels, fish, sushi, and the egg and bacon's outlines weren't separated properly.

I agree, she really IS jumping the gun, like, on a graphic design level, none of these characters belong on t-shirts or mugs because the colors she uses tend to be so muddy. And it's funny because designs on t-shirts are where you'd WANT the lines to be thicker, at least the outer lines. I honestly don't know…She works with a lotta neutral tones which aren't the best for stickers to stand out.
And this is just my own opinion, but, her food illustrations look kinda gross to me. Unappetizing, honestly.
She needs to spend more time actually making the comic and letting it gain its own footing before making merch. But at least you know where her priority lies.

>do people still buy fan art merch even if it was executed poorly?

I think it really depends on the fandom and what you mean by 'poorly executed'. I would be more inclined to buy poorly executed merch from an obscure fandom I was interested in because there really is no other choice for me if I really want merch from that fandom.

I think it also depends on what’s you define as ‘poorly executed’. For example, if someone made stickers that literally looked like a young child drew them, for a fandom like neon genesis evangelion, I might actually buy them because the concept seems unique and interesting.

THAT kind of rough sketching, which is not that defined and not that clean, shouldn’t take her that long. Especially considering she’s always priding herself or being a quick drawer. Heck one of the slowest parts in making comics is using rulers and grids for perspective purposes and make the perspective look righ. She doesn’t even do that. Three hours? She should have had a clean pre ink pencil with details OR have started inking. Also it’s dumb to shade every single panel. I mean, not before finishing the rest. If you have a global look at the page you can decide where to put shadows, if you improvise you’re obligated to follow what you already did. I don’t know if I explained it properly…
Rounding corners just because it looks cool and doing it randomly is a big no no in comics, as the shape of the panel should help you tell the story. Usually you round corners on occasion to distinguish scenes. For instance if you’re “telling what happened” or a flashback scene, a dream scene, an imagination scene… doing it just because “my dudes, it looks sleek” just shows how little she understands about panelling.

I don't recall ever seeing a comic where the full thing had rounded panels, it just seems like her creating extra work for herself. Even in Purgatory she had uneven gutters all over the place, so there's no way her corners will be even.

No. 475415

Is this even sketching/penciling? She's not using construction lines or anything. It's like she wants to be inking without even putting in the ground work.

I think her anatomy gets fucked because she thinks it's possible to edit an arm here, a leg there, and sort of frankenstein a panel into looking good. This method reaaaally just wastes your time. You end up not thinking of your character in full at end up with something weird. It's way easier and faster to erase and start over.

Yes and she states she loves digital because she can avoid redrawing things, which is what actually leads you to improve. That’s it: the more you draw the more you’re going to improve (if you care to) and that attitude will not be of any help.
Nobody likes to redraw the same shit over and over again but that’s what you do if you want to understand anatomy or perspective. Fixing only one thing and making it look half decent deleting only what you think is off might be a “solution” for that pic you’re drawing but you’ll end up not learning from it and fighting with the same things the next time. You could say she doesn’t want to learn fishing because she can have the fish right now.

It's actually AT LEAST 30 mins, because it's doable even having a fulltime job. The "limit" is to allow anybody who's willing to, to find time to work on their personal projects. It's not like the sketchbook challenge that will get you stuck on your sketchbook for hours even if you're a quick sketcher. Why does she always need to point out how she breaks the rules and how hard worker she is.
She just shits out stuff, and if she studies it surely doesn't show.
>randomly blabs about comics, showing not to know a shit about anything ever in this world and then says "when I say comics I mean webcomics"
Like who cares? You're the only one labeling "comics" as superhero stuff, the industry is filled with tons of stuff that is not even related to superheroes. Also there's not just US comics and MANGA in this world, other countries makes comics too ffs.
She is trying to justify why she uses a word she doesn't want to be associated with? Like come on. That's not even manga, can't be for several reasons.
It's just convenient to call comics comics and that's all. Because that's the word you have in your language to describe the frikkin' media.

(Holly if you're readin' this)

She needs to understand the concept of 'draw through" as in, drawing in 3-dimensional shapes and understanding the placement of where things go regardless of if we'll see them or not. With this girl, it's like she sketched the general shape of the head, but then, didn't bother to solidify it before getting to the hair or anything else. It's literally like she's got no other eye under that lump of hair. "draw through". For your own sake, even if other people won't see it. This includes forms with shapes for holding cups and other items. It will ground the art better and give it more of a sense of purpose and placement.

Also that full body shot of her w/the jeans, like, the squiggly tuft of hair she always draws outta nowhere always bugs me, she does that for Herschel too and it's like "why is that there".

Again what she is saying this time is not totally wrong but she just ignores the fact that you need to keep a balance in your style. Look at the skulls, they are realistic and don’t match the anatomy she uses for her characters. She should have at least modified them a little or put less details while inking. If you need to trace you need to do it seamlessly. And she can’t do that.

What is with those strawmen arguments lately?

A lot of manga and webcomic artists do this especially for probs and backgrounds, many are open about it and I've never seen anyone get shit - it's because they use their own 3D models and photos, some people even trace those dumb body-kun dolls and no one says anything. But besides the fact that these skulls look very out of place and poorly arranged, I don't even know if anatomy360 allows their software to be used like that.

also 3 to 4 hours for an entire comic page?? why does she always have to rush everything? I think she would be so much better if she actually took the time to put effort into her drawings. I feel like she thinks that speed is everything but she doesn't understand that in order to be fast you first have to be slow and learn the fundamentals. Trying to rush and be fast as someone on her level is only going to be counter productive.

I just wanna throw this video in her face tbh

I appreciated what Devin had to say, I think it's something people who make videos get wrapped up in when they first start. I wish Holly would take this person's advice!

No. 479064

I think their art has improved greatly! Not an amazing amount of improvement, but some. However her art isn't anything to shake a tail at and is a very generic style. Quantity over quality and pure luck has gotten her where she is today. She is just so stubborn she refuses to learn how the human body works. If she just touched her collarbone and shoulder she would feel the bone that connects them and it would stop her characters from having "floating shoulder syndrome". I think she is aware and that is why she lashes out on art that is better than hers due to insecurities, but you all knew that already.

However, artists like her tend to fizzle out in a few years. She might make a comeback if she changes her style. She will also gather fans other than teenagers if she keeps the salt and her negative opinions to her self. Most artists keep a negative opinion away from fans because it distracts from their art. So does plastering your face everywhere. But some artists can't help that so I won't point that against her. Kuddos to her for not being one of those female artists who sticks her titts out for attention. Overall, she's still so shitty I can see why she has zero friends

It's not getting any worse but the improvement comes from a consistency of style. So, yeah Anon, Holly might be getting slightly better.
But I personally still don't see Holly using any under-drawing or structure. I just don't understand how someone who wants to be an illustrator not using an action line.

But are people gonna even buy that???? A collection of shitty sketches/drawings. I feel like she's wasting too much money for a "poor art student" who complains about being stuck living at home. Buys a new hot water thingy that's probably around 150$, bought a new camera, new fridge, and maybe a new 360 camera. Why isn't she saving her money to move out???

Idk, she probably uses the poor art student trope as a means of being relatable. She is either spending money she doesn't have or she's better off than she lets on. Honestly, the whole complaining about money yet spending large amounts of money bothers me.

She might be one of those artists who believe they memorized anatomy enough to not use figure sketches before line art. She might also truly believe that figure sketching is a waste of time. However when you get good, the figures can actually save time and make anatomy on point. I'm sure other artists told her that, but she sperged, attacked them, and blocked them saying "I can draw sooper fast! Fuck you amateur!"

>>479064
From what I can see she let herself go. She forgot to go for an hour walk and work out. It helps with mental health and seeings the REAL WORLD helps artists get inspired and gain mental references… that and you don't become an unhealthy slob

sorry for the long posts. Being an artist myself I'm baffled she does the opposite of what everyone else does.

To be fair, you kind of have to draw fast and accept mistakes if you want to get anywhere with a comic. If you treat each panel like a painting it can easily take 16+ hours to draw a single page. There is of course a difference between knowing where to cut corners and being outright sloppy.

I get cha. I know a lot of artists who do that once/twice a week comic page update and it is painfully slow and takes years to finish one story (tea house cough star fighter). Bad example, but some korean comic artists get a whole chapter done in a month

A bit OT but I hate webcomics that have like 1 pg updates at a time. Half the time the artists treat the webcomic like a normal comic which ends up making the webcomic feel like it has a lot of filler since the reader has to wait months for a handful of pages that don't really go anywhere.

I get that, but if you're doing webcomics it's way smarter to do one page a time rather than full chapters. Its just better marketing wise especially if you're on a host sight where recent updates get you put on the front page.

No. 479274

You hardly make any money and have no control over it as an artist. I personally wouldn't do it but have been satisfied with the purchases that I have made on Society 6. Might be better than not offering anything.

If you can make prints yourself, I think it's always better and you will make more money and be able to connect to your audience. But of course, it takes a lot of time etc.

Imo 2 page updates once or twice a week are the best, it's better to keep a steady flow of pages to keep your readership. A lot of them do have unnecessary fluff though, I feel like a lot of artists lose sight of the story over the years.

No. 479358

One job isn't any more 'real' than another. It's actually just doing the work that matters. Youtuber? Job. Retail? job. No income is completely stable, only some is more sustainable than others.

What she lacks is discipline, because if she's going to do art and youtube, she's got to be her own boss. Because that's. her fucking. job.

That's also the problem with her trying to market her own art, it's like, a lot of it isn't marketable, especially if it's from all of 2 pages of her new comic. She's trying to push product that people don't even know about, who, are probably too young to have money anyways.

So she's probably gonna see this but I really don't care anymore. I absolutely hate Holly Brown. I went to high school with her and we were sort of friends. We used to text and hang out. I admired her art and thought she was cute. She was always really immature though. We were supposed to go to our school's version of prom together as dates but she stood me up. Idk, I respected her feelings but wish she warned me before rather than just standing me up. After that she kinda stopped talking to me. Her art was great when I first met her but it started to get worse as people in the class gave her compliment after compliment. She became complacent. Even back then she talked a lot of shit. She was super blunt and rude. In the time I knew her she said several things that were insensitive and idiotic. Eventually I stopped talking to her because she said that all Mexican art sucks which is a horrible and ignorant generalization. As a Mexican artist myself I felt the need to point out that she was being racist and she stood her ground. I cut her out of my life and since thenher art continued to get worse. Shes so fucking arrogant and smug.
