>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 In the previous thread:
>Holly backtracks on her animation goals and starts the 100 days of making comics challenge>Her lack of tact massively backfires on her as people get pissed about her constantly shitting on everyone>Holly BALEETS most of her videos and posts two rants about how she's "Done with the drama" and "won't say anything again ever">Opens commissions to make money instead>Deletes those videos too and decides to just go back her regular video and abandon any critical thinking altogetherIs Holly literally autistic, or have the years of being a shut-in just eroded her social skills? Will she ever stop deleting negative comments? Let's find out.

Honestly, at this point, I don't think Holly will ever outgrow this "I'm a 'professional', therefore everything I say is gospel" mentality, especially if she never takes critiques seriously and sees anything that isn't praise as "hate."
Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think she's finished any project she's started, so the fact she claims to be professional is even more laughable. Yeah, professionals will have some projects that never really take off, but has she actually finished one thing she's started?

It's bad enough that Holly is a shitty fujo-art goblin. She better not touch this topic with a 30 ft pole. She wouldn't be able to handle it. It's bad too because you know she's thinking about it, because she 'hearted' the comment. what a garbagewoman.

>>500704>"Calm down ya SJW"what a sick burn, really got em
I think Holly's diehard fans are lost causes, if they can't listen to a calm and reasoned argument about their "QUEEN", then they won't make it out of chin hell anytime soon.
No. 500728
>>500661At this point I'm starting to get more annoyed with her fans than Holly herself because they are acting so clueless without even bothering to consider out look up the legitimacy behind the arguments used against Holly. Like there have been so many people saying stuff like "Missed the drama so I don't even know what happened but I support you holly, no matter what! <3"
It annoys me so much that all Holly herself let her viewers understand from the situation is that people were throwing extreme and ridiculous accusations at her and that people are just overly sensitive and "got
triggered" and that's all there is to know. Then her fans took that and are now under the impression that that's the main issue. Even though it's not. I wish someone could make them realise that there are plenty of people who have pointed out holly's faults and addressed their points in a very well constructed and polite way, yet holly constantly silences and ignores them and doesn't even mention them when she talks about "the hate she gets daily" and that's why her fans are so ignorant.
Like so much for being "honest" with her viewers while she herself keeps silencing and covering up her shit constantly.
It's seriously driving me mad that instead of giving her viewers the full picture and then allowing them to choose which side they are on, she paints a picture of a victim. Like she did nothing wrong. And I can't tell whether she actually thinks she hasn't done anything wrong or if she's just trying to come of that way to cover her ass.
I dunno. Just pisses me off that everyone who speaks against her is called a "hater" yet apparently Holly can do no wrong. And I know it's not that big of a surprise since teenagers are impressionable but that's exactly why I worry that soon there will be a bunch of mini hollies following her example and ruining their own reputations too because they think it's acceptable to say anything they want and how ever they want.
No. 500733
>>500728OMG YES.
That. That exactly. That's what's the most infuriating! People just patting her ass without no knowledge OR objectivity on the matters.
She tends to do this most of the times though, she takes things personally like the jake parker issue, or the storyboarding drama.
She constantly make things appear way worse than what they look like and then almost never admits being at fault. Yet people blindly nod at everything she says and are ready to justify her behaviours because she's honest and blunt, and she expresses her opinions.
People need to realize that there's more to life than being a "hater" and that one can express opinions or go against somebody even if they are not "hating" on them.

This hair pisses me off so much, it's ugly. There are better ways to make a character androgynous, even the plain long hair would've been a better choice.

Not only your bags, but your entire head of hair sticks up at two points, then you smooth the remaining out over your ears and curl it at your neck. Also your hairline looks like it has gills.

A shy repressed gay kid in a medieval cult… yeah let's give him robot fighting shades except make the shape even worse by drawing them like even THEY have a long chin. Not to mention they are in the same shape and place as his awful triangle dough bangs, just making ugly tangents all over his face, god I could go on about his retarded glasses forever.
I am convinced holly has the worst fucking aesthetics in the world, and the only reason she's semi-decent at color theory is because she copies color pallets from tumblr and also adds color wash overlays on everything she does digitally.

No. 501582
I know there was a discussion like this last thread, but can I just say, I think Holly can benefit from an art school? Maybe one that has more merit to its name?
And the only reason why I bring that up again is because there are so many things she wants to do but she has no idea how to do it.
>she WANTS unique characters with definable features and shapes
>she WANTS to do well made comics with good stories
>she WANTS to do industry worthy storyboards
>BUT she has no idea how to do character design, paneling, flow, narration, composition, framing, and she constantly breaks the 180 rule
Look, a lot of artist can learn all these things by just putting time and effort into learning this. But if you can't do this shit on your own, Holly, maybe you need someone to physically sit you down, teach you, and make you take assignments in which HAVE to get critiqued on so you can finally learn and understand.

slight blogpost, but i'm a totally self-taught hobby artist who does a lot of character design and thumbnailing, at honestly around her talent level. the internet has a PLETHORA of material to teach you how to draw anything you could possibly want to. it's not that the information isn't available or there's nothing to teach it to her, she just won't take it.

Holly just can't draw anything in perspective, or forshorten anything. Every pose she draws looks like a paper doll with pivoting joints. The only thing she ever tries to draw in perspective are feet, which ends up looking like broken triangles on a stick

Michie handled it gracefully though (if it bothered her at all) but I know Holly has mentioned thinking that other people's characters are shitty to her, and I just felt like that mentality really showed itself tonight.

>>502561I agree, though I don't have a problem with Michie as a person, she is mediocre at art. You can draw under sketches and plot your figures out as much as you want and it won't make your drawing any better if you're uninformed and don't understand the form you're drawing in the first place. She just mimics bad tutorial techniques and calls it a day.
Everything she does is wonky, but… I guess this isn't about Michie.
I still feel bad for her in that live stream. Holly is not someone I would want to do an art trade with, even if she was a better artist. But she should have known better too, if she has really watched Holly at all…

Some of her other shit is pretty cringy too (that "yes artists can scam other artists" video was so asinine), and her shading/coloring makes me viscerally upset. Just because she's better than Holly doesn't mean she should be lauded.
She definitely should have known better. Even if the stream was planned before Holly's little tantrum (doubtful), I would have severed ties with someone with such a fundamental lack of professionalism. But enjoy the views I guess, Michie…

Unless the abuse is having the plant on a level the cat can get to, then yeah that's pretty negligent though not directly abusive.
Holly has a lot to criticize, but she seemed like a fairly normal cat owner there.

As long as she doesn't have like lilies or plants that are specifically poisonous to cats i dont find it to be that big of a deal. Isn't her workspace her bedroom? My cat knows how to open my bedroom door so I can see it potentially being difficult to keep her cats out. (Obviously she needs to keep toxic stuff put up)

She just threw away a bunch of expensive printer ink because she handled her CISS improperly and broke it, then just threw away all the ink inside. I am just baffled how she wastes so much.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm like 85% sure she said in one of her vlog videos (that she took off) after San Japan that she was going to do 11 x 17 prints, and that she thought her prints didn't sell well because they were a big size. The dude next to her was selling prints that were smaller and they were selling like hotcakes, apparently. If that's the case…it sounds like she's not learning from her previous con experience.
Also, as someone that practically lives at Artist Alley, you really don't need all that stuff for it, especially if it's at an anime convention. You really only need that stuff if you're in the main exhibit hall, or if you're in a place like a business expo.
No. 506755

Seriously? Considering how many books she prints, with 5k she could easily complete two series. It’s not like everybody who self publishes buys MACHINES, print on demand services and real printing places exists for a reason.
You can easily attend a convention with 2/3k in books. You can do It with LESS than that, depending on the conventions you will have virtually no customers for sketchbooks or comics unless it’s a place that’s just that. I e self published comics conventions or stuff like that. And from that 2k you’re going to take expenses off really easily.
She’s buying all that super expensive crap when the only thing you need is a little taste and basic stuff. I would have invested in a banner instead, and it would still have costed less. Like fuck it’s your first convention and you have more stuff than actual publishers. The hell?!
Also fun fact: if you order your prints, they already come in boxes. You create the dividers and use the same box the prints were packaged in. And I can assure you it works perfectly.

>>508447>>508461Regular con-goer here. You're not off the mark. It's similar in the US, at least on the western coast cons. It's said that you go to anime conventions to sell fanmade stuff, and comic conventions to sell original stuff.
Also, unless if it's a huge one or one in a good area (Bay Area cons are good because the attendees usually have disposable income), most anime conventions are attended by teenagers that have little to no money and gawk at prices. This is talking from personal experience. Yes, the attendees at comic conventions might be "older", but they're more willing to give new stuff a chance and they're more likely to have money to blow.

One thing I can think of that may be eating her time is that she's working at a ridiculous DPI (don't remember what it was, but it was way above standard for no real good reason) which is causing her to get caught up on details that won't even be legible in the printed size/whatever size people are usually viewing the page on their phones or computers.

Also, it's the goddamn internet and you have 200K followers, nobody gives a shit about being 100% absolutely certain you did something you said. Your audience isn't your mom, and you aren't some big manga studio that has to get a chapter out a week, it's an internet challenge that some person made up.

>>510398You're right. She's always harping on about 'accountability', she even said it on day 1 of the challenge. She brought up the sketchbook challenge and I don't even remember her finishing it.
And I don't know where why tacked on the rule of "doing comics for 30 minutes for 100 days straight"? She could've batched it and done it in weeks. That's what, 14 weeks? I've seen people do the challenge that way. She could have divvied it up between social media, WIP pictures (because she is always posting consistently over on twitter at least, for what she's working on), and it coulda worked. She could've still been 'accountable'. She made so much shit so difficult.
But honestly I just think she's obsessed with the convention scene right now so she had to drop a few tasks she found less interesting to her. So much for accountability and professionalism.

Lol, nobody works harder than Holly Fucking Brown, you guys. She works so hard she can't possibly complete this challenge… because working on comics is so much harder than illustration. Don't you know that illustrators just shit out illustrations without a lot of hard work? Not like her comic process, noooo…. illustrators never have to thumbnail or reference or anything like that.
Holly Brown works sooo hard you guys, she works so hard, her job is way harder than those rubes who work in the fucking grocery store, lol, all they do is sit around and collect a steady paycheck.
She works so hard that completing a 30 day illustration challenge like inktober is totally beneath her, so obviously dropping out of a 100 day COOOOMIC challenge after 15 days means she works wayyy harder! Like, totally, my dudes!
She works sooo hard because she needs money,yo, so she can't afford to waste time doing stuff that won't make her money, but don't mention the fact she wastes so much money on cardboard boxes and fucking book presses.
Besides, none of you watching these videos even know anything about what she's talking about anyway.

No. 510707
>>510398There's so much bullshit it's hard even to breathe.
God, I wish she would stop assuming things about the industry and passing it as a FACT.
She OBVIOUSLY doesn't know anything and yet she keeps on acting like this.
30 dollars per ink is something you can accept only through small commissions or deviantart, and I wonder how she got these prices as she's never had any kind of formation or real job in the industry.
It's not like it's hard, it's not like it's time consuming, it's not like she doesn't have enough disk space (REALLY? You say your flatter should buy an external hdd to solve ram and cpu problems -lol- and YOU don't have an external hdd in which you can store or record videos?!) she just got bored of doing that thing every day. She even kind of stated it. She always says she works on comics daily but I doubt so, otherwise she would be so much further in PP; she works a lot when she feels like it, and since she claimed to work on pages for 12 hours in a row she needs to show 12 hours of footage or something EVERY DAY and that broke her.
She should have stayed humble, not bragging about how if you don't work on a comic page 12 hours per day you're not really making comics and how she works on comics daily anyway. But of course not, she had to rage about the comics because she DIDN'T want to spend that much on them but she kind of shot herself in the foot with the challenge.
Honestly there's so many ways she could have handled this thing from the get go. She just got bored, she wants to watch anime and draw fanarts. Like some other anon said, she right now has another interests and this challenge is having less views than other videos so of course screw that.
BUT STILL. Saying she works MORE than other people is reaching. She does that ALL THE TIME. She just assumes every other job is easier, when in reality she doesn't have real deadlines, she could take things easier as the majority of her incomes are from her shitty youtube videos she craps away. But of course she has to make it look like her webcomic is her main job…? I can't understand that reasoning. She never edits stuff that much and she's not fancy. She just speeds up the video, does a voiceover in one take so that she can be more natural, add a background music and an end card. The longest part is the voiceover and still it takes as long as the video. So…why is she playing the editing card? Minnie Small has really fancy videos and I can see how they take more to create, but Holly is just two clicks away from uploading the video right when she stops recording.
>>510421Comic Artist anon, here. Honestly it depends on a series of factors such as how quick you are at drawing, how complex your style is and how quick you are with perspective and inking.
For professional comics, 10 hours is fairly decent, but probably not enough if you count the colouring and shading in it. 10/15 hours should ideally suffice for proper storyboarding, penciling and inking IF you're quick. Of course there are people even quicker and people that needs to add tons of details and that are slower, the european market is not new to people working even one entire week on a single page, because Belgique and France are really serious about backgrounds and accuracy especially if you're drawing historical comics, so you need to work really big and detailed.
Same goes for coloring, depending on the kind of colouring, the deadlines and the details, it can take from one day to one week. If it's a simpler coloring and you work with a flatter, you can even color four pages in a day, and every page is different of course so you can sometime colour three pages in a day and another day you can only complete one. Of course if you have a tighter deadline or if you don't need that kind of accuracy you just go with whatever the pace is better for you, considering that the time you spare on a page (using tricks and shortcuts that help you becoming faster) can help you looking for other gigs.
For webcomics it's kind of different because there's people that uses it as its own medium, and use interactive panels, or use the scrolling option to create suspance, and if you work on a webcomic with the intent of print in mind it's better to aim at what works in print form instead of webcomic.
And yeah it's basically how you approach to a webcomic. Some can complete five or seven pages a week, other can complete only two, but it's again all depending on details and how fast you are.
The 24hour comics day is totally doable, and that makes you create 24 pages in 24 hours. 1 page per hour. With its limitations.
Holly's work though is so sloppy and inaccurate that all that time is literally wasted. She's slow because she doesn't know what she's doing, and she doesn't even plan her perspectives, everything is wonky and she cuts out what personally gives me the most issues while drawing a page: perspective grids.
Placing stuff in perspective, building rooms and cities, takes the most time for me because everything should be drawn using a scheme, grids, and it's something that can be eyeballed IF somebody cares enough to actually understand or practice a lot before; but she just draws something and calls it a day.
For the level of what she is doing she should take no less than two hours per page including the ink.
>>510455Some comic pages are quicker to realise than some illustrations, but of course you're not holly and you have a brain so you already know that. Sorry for reiterating.
>>510436And EVERYBODY has one. Same hair syndrome, lol.
>>510346She actually finished the sketchbook challenge, but she lied about doing it in time. She said she finished it in time and that she only needed to film the sketchbook tour, but she never shower her latest progresses and she took like what, one week? two? to film the video.

The way Holly's preparing for this con really highlights her priorities. Instead of focusing on making appealing prints, she's buying expensive table skirts to attract people, spinning display stands and offering postcards instead of business cards and larger prints because she thinks "bigger is better", when no, people buy good art, not just cheaply priced art. She reminds me of some con artists who have spent hundreds printing their poorly drawn comics into glossy perfect bound books. I'm still going to spend my money on a staple bound zine from a more skilled artist.

I mean, okay not all artists have to know how to do everything because nobody is the same level at everything art related, but… this is seriously embarrassing and she doesn’t make up for it with actual good drawing or story or panelling. It’s a total 360 degree failure.
Also I speak from experience: double sided postcards works fine, if they have a decent illustration and a pleasing backing, but they’re NEVER to be done in place of business cards. You slip the postcards inside of your comics as a free print, so that people can find you. People who actually care for business cards have little to no space to carry around something bigger than literally a card they can put in their wallet.
She still fails to understand that you can look professional with minimalistic stuff if your art is solid and you’re q decent person. Instead she just tries to buy professionalism. Failing at it.

>>512636Holy fuck this is such a waste of money and mind numbingly inefficient. She would save so much more money just doing small runs every so often or smaller books or whatever.
She doesn’t even know how any of this will work out, there is a learning curve for this kind of thing she now has to squeeze into con prep for a convention she isn’t even guaranteed a spot at yet.
She’s trying to make herself seem pro and know-it-all, but it’s really telling how amateur this all it. This is ridiculous.
No. 512662
>>512644If she doesn't get in it will be the cons fault.
If she gets in but doesn't sell well it will be the attendee's fault for being too cheap.
She will never learn from her mistakes because she will always blame someone/something else for her shortcomings.
I understand wanting to be prepared for a show but she is inflating her overhead too much. Certain purchases are an investment for future shows, (stands, easels, tablecloth, etc) but I think she is putting too much on these events that she is not even accepted to yet.
She may have quite a shock and a bit of dept if she doesn't get in.
No. 512669
>>512662So I finished watching the whole video and I’m so dumbfounded. The show she signed up for isn’t until august but she is planning on having FIVE BOOKS, plus stickers and prints, to be available to purchase.
Does she not realize how much time, effort, and money this will all take? Not only to just produce the artwork she hasn’t completed yet (a 47 pg Hamilton book and 120 pgs of PP), but to hand create ENOUGH of the five books to have people buy them?
And was really ticked off about her comment about comic conventions not being the place for her special artwork to be sold at because her shit is too ~*girly*~. Comic show artist alleys are just like anime conventions’. Hell, I would even argue she would have an even easier time selling at a comic book convention because anime convention artist alleys are hardcore and those tables have lots of other things to offer other than mediocre prints and stickers and her original comics.

>>512968The first one was god awful, like she shouldn’t even share it. Admittedly the second one was much better and had a clearer vision, but the reason she can never finish this shit is because she wants to show off her “animation skills” when she would probably do a much better job and maybe finish something is she just learned some story boarding shorthand. Like… I know it’s an animatic, but we don’t need the flag animated or shown frame by frame the gun twirling.
She’s constantly trying to run before learning to walk. It’s not professional or endearing, it’s frustrating as all hell because it’s so ass backwards, ugh. She talks about these things to learnedly and passionately, you’d think she’d be serious about actually STUDYING how these things work, but nah she just trying to show everyone how pro and smart she is????

and then be ready for a convention. Ok.
No. 513449
She's deluding herself into thinking she'll be ready with all this stuff by August, and maybe if she pared it down to just a few things, she might, but even judging by her vlog, she doesn't even know how she'll be getting there or where she'll be staying which should've been the first thing (besides knowing she had a spot for sure) she focused on.
if she really gets her priorities straight she might be ready for next year's con season, but this year? Nah. With all the dumb purchases she's making and all the projects she's trying to push out (not because she's passionate about any of it, but because she wants to turn a buck), She'll only just be barely prepared.
Imagine her having a table next to someone else much more skilled and passionate and prepared. They'll outshine her. Especially with her color choices, the only thing that'll stand out about her is her damn tablecloth but it'll be like nothing but puke is on it because she has no color sense.
She'll be lucky to make back her table, the cost of her trip all her idiotic purchases AND taxes if she's gotta pay any.

No. 513460
>>513449Nah, you nailed it on the head. She’s got too much overhead and she keeps stacking on the costs on. This is not well thought through.

No. 513488
>>513449Con Artist here, and you pretty much nailed it. Most con artists I know of prep their art a year in advance, and then start a few new ones up to half a year before the con, so they can keep up with the current stuff. Books-wise, some do 1-2, and most have existing works that they throw into a zine along with non-posted material.
Though it's not unrealistic to put out more new books per year, the people that usually do work at a very fast pace, on top of their freelance/webcomic/non-art-related jobs (Reapersun and Lucid come to mind). Holly works at a snail's pace and is thinking too far ahead into the future when she really shouldn't. She also has to make Youtube videos on top of that, and she complains about how long it takes to make them. She needs to pick up the pace when it comes to drawing and focus.
The fact that she's printing them herself is also not ideal. I can understand prints, but books? In the words of another artist I follow, time is money, and the time you spend making/printing books could be done drawing or improving.
And if she's making charms as she said in one of her videos, she pretty much has to have them in before con season if she wants them finished on time, roughly before May where I'm at. Sometimes people get lucky and get theirs in a short time, but on my end and some others I know, it's been a nightmare, so we try to have our charm quota finished before a certain date.

No. 513745
>>513697Meh. I get this way when people die too, it's like a weird jokey denial phase, or like not wanting to think about it because emotions are complicated–especially since she wasn't raised by her dad and he's been dying slowly for a while now.
I wouldn't have posted something like this, because it comes off very bad. But I'm not surprise given how immature she is and how little she understands PR.
No. 513765
>>513697Eh. I don't really think anyone should read into this as her being sociopathic.
I think Holly admitted that her relationship with her actual biological mom and dad was sorta estranged and troubled to a point where her aunt stepped in as her mom. With all that I think it just speaks to Holly being distant from her dad and also too immature to know how to handle grief properly.
TBH sometimes I feel bad for her because some of the information she puts out there about her past makes me think that she needs to go to therapy…

Still, I guess kudos to her for not using her dad's death as a way to get pity points from her audience like may other youtube artists would of done.

>>513967>>514013It's definitely gross to sort out his shit and plan on moving into his room before he's even dead though.
On the con topic though, I'm genuinely speechless that she bought a fucking book press lmao, is she trying to start a publishing company for her own stuff exclusively? It's like she doesn't even consider the labor cost of printing everything herself and making back the initial investment.
Why does she need printed books of her random doodles that are all on her Twitter/IG? Who's going to buy that? Just buy a long-arm stapler for 15 bucks and make a small zine of themed sketches and print them on your fucking wide-format printer that you already own. What's next, is she going to buy a risograph? A silk screen kit? If she likes making books so much she should just get a job in a print shop or something, she seems more passionate about making merch than making art.

I don’t know who started the whole “Holly’s autistic” thing but it needs to stop. She has none of the signs or mannerisms of someone with autism. This is just a lazy excuse for her shitty personality and bad behaviour.
Also her art would probably be exponentially better if she were autistic. As these individuals will usually have an area in which they excel at. Maths, art, puzzles (building things), etc.

>>512619I actually like the concept for this a lot tbh, but the execution is terrible. I made a quick edit but something like image attached would look slightly better and would work for a 3.5x2 business card with rounded corners (sorry, didn't feel like touching the text). Though, I would probably pick a different illustration to feature on the front since it doesn't say much about the comic.

They may display a sense of entitlement, believe they are exceptionally unique and can only be understood by or associated with an elite few, and/or be preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, beauty, intellect, or ideal love. Nonetheless, the appearance of superiority and arrogance actually masks the thin-skinned sensitivity to rejection, criticism, or defeat. Their arrogant attitudes, behaviors, and interpersonal exchanges primarily serve to enhance and maintain self-esteem. Limited empathic responses are characteristic of these individuals and the motive behind any seemingly altruistic behavior is to enhance self-esteem.

>>513697i'm late but i really wanna put in my two cents about this.
as much as i dislike holly i completely understand this reaction. when my parent passed i was in a state where i was so overwhelmed that i was numb and confused, i didn't really react "properly", my family was concerned for me because i was acting like i wasn't phased by it, i was extremely stone faced, i was even talking to my friend on skype and said "i think my parent just died" after getting a call from family then went about everything that night like it was normal, their death eventually hit me a few months later. while the whole "moving into my dad's mancave thing" is absolutely inappropriate and borderline heartless, i think everyone is looking too into everything else in this particular tweet. i don't think holly's annoyed about dealing with her mom, i think she's overwhelmed, it's hard to deal with a mourning parent when you're their child, must be especially weird since her parents aren't together. also it's twitter, she's not going to do some dumb cry typing shit. even i tweeted about my parent's death. i see her tweet as a "heads up i'm gonna be dealing with some shit right now" she definitely used poor choice in words "kicking the bucket" doesn't seem genuine but that doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't give a shit, i think it says more about how little thought she puts into the shit she says which has always been an issue with her. i don't agree with the whole "sociopath" or "autistic" shit everyone's saying about her but she's definitely a narcissist.
i'm not really a fan of holly after i've been lurking her threads for almost a month now but in this scenario i want to give her some slack unless she tries to use her father's death to her advantage like manipulate people into giving her more money because of it or some shit.

In the few years of college art of taken, the point of crits wasn't to hold your fucking hand and tell you what to do, it was to tell you something doesn't work and that it needs to be better.
You tell an artist they have same face syndrome, they go figure out how to change it themselves bc it's they're goddamn art style not yours. You tell somebody their colors look like vomit, they look up color theory, not ask you to color pluck it for them.

No. 516911
>>516867Lol this isn't new. It's literally what you're taught in art school as good critique. You generally point out the issue and offer suggestions, such as "the composition is too centered, I think it would look more balanced if x was more to the right." If you don't know how to fix it, you provide specific details. Same face syndrome example: "all your characters look similar. The noses are all the same shape, so varying the shape of the nose is a good place to start."

No. 518914
>>518865Ok so this is all the stuff I know because me and my friend had a brief fascination with her and she had NO FILTER on her now deleted vlogs.
In those vlogs she admitted the reason why her aunt was her mom and her biological parents werent around was because they were both drug addicts(its also the reason why her dad is dying). And apparently her early childhood got so out of control that her aunt stepped in.
Alsooo in those same vlogs her relationship with both her immediate and extended family seemed strained as a lot of the times it seemed very angry and shouty. Even her siblings didnt really seem to have it together because she seemed to talk about her brother being a "fuck up" constantly and her adult sister seemed to be asking Holly for money quite a lot.
I suppose she COULD be lying about ALL of that in her vlogs. But at the same time remember that she also has "no filter." Which is why those vlogs even existed at all.
Tbh I thought the whole "mental illness/autism" discussion that people were having earlier was really stupid. But at the same time all her very obvious problems (her social issues, impulsive behavior, no filter talk, warped sense of reality) could just be from a fucked up childhood/home. But who knows if its even true at all.
No. 518991
>>518914Thanks for the info, anon!
In my opinion, I think you're right about the family issue being why she's messed up, because her spending too much money or complaining about people publicly is normal people stuff (fuck, just look at this board for the latter).
Saying she's mentally ill doesn't give her any responsibility (besides getting treatment). Holly is just being dumb.
Even if it sucks coming from a shitty home you don't have to be shitty yourself, so I hope she doesn't take that route to say we have no right to complain.

The hand doesn't make sense for the pose.
The hair looks like a helmet/plastic because apparently, she doesn't understand gravity or how it works.

>>522021The easiest way to spot tracing is to look for enhanced level of line detail, and understanding of perspective that wasn't there before. The foreshortening in the cupped hands is drawn perfectly, while the foreshortening in her arms is messed up. Since we know Holly openly traces why wouldn't she here. The shoes look traced in the other drawing because the perspective is accurately drawn and and very detailed, while the pants and shirt and head don't have that same level of line detail.
I'm not against tracing "morally", it can be a good learning tool, but it makes your drawings look juvenile when you trace photos for some parts of your drawing. I can't believe she pushes this way of drawing onto her young audience who probably draw worse than her.
No. 522247
>>522010Pretty sure many thought she misused a reference which made the arm/hand posing all wonky. This isn't decent.
If she had traced the hands (as she has before as

>>521883kek it feels like she unintentionally foreshortened the wrong leg. Back leg is scary long especially since our eyes want to naturally see foreshortening.
Also her boobs take up a hell of a lot of space there and she looks like a hunchback.

I mean, she is half right I guess. But she is not an industry professional, she is not rotoscoping an animation or in any sort of serious deadline crunch or honestly doing anything particularly difficult to say shit like “time is money, gotta cut corners”
Learning proper form and drawing from life would also strengthen your skills and reduce time taken on a piece inst as of tracing a shitty, cheap rig from a phone app… these are not meant to be used for tracing, just for blocking and figuring out a decent look at perspective/foreshortening. It’s up to the artist to make changes and improve upon it for their benefit.
I guess Holly can do whatever she wants but fuck, she runs a YouTube channel boasting about being a pro and offering tips and she endorses doing cheap shortcuts like this? It's not something I would fucking share with the world, and it just seems like a crutch she’s really leaning into lately.

Not to even mention the drawing wasn't accurate in the first place, so it defeats the whole purpose of tracing.

Here's the page with the bj what the fuck. Why would you put an explicit drawing in a general artbook. And aren't these two characters underage as well? She will definitely get in trouble if she doesn't label her book 18+ with this in it.
No. 525552
>>525521Soliciting porn to minors is a felony, no matter how bad the art is.
She will just have to be careful of how she markets the book. I hope she is wise enough to label 18+ and not push it on every person who walks by her booth.

>>525585No it doesn’t.
Maybe she think it won’t count as adult content because you can’t see fluids or dicks?

Extreme example I know my point being you want friends that are honest with you. If they tell you your idea is fucking stupid it’s not to bring you down but to stop you from doing something stupid. You want people that are honest not a fucking yes-man Holly.

It looks like she literally threw this together in like 5min without understanding why she's doing this. There's no show of thinking process and those eyes are making it more ugly than it already is. Cant tell if she's using an inaccurate reference or she doesn't understand how planes work

No. 526248
>>526224What the fuck is that thing. How can she possibly think this is even remotely okay to show? It’s absolutely disgusting. She is not understanding one single plane or muscle in human face (and body in general) and it shows so clearly… but she thinks she’s hot shit because “muh skillz”, when in reality she can’t even considered mediocre.
No holly those faces are creepy because they’re poorly done, eyes don’t influence how disgusting they look.
No. 526299
>>526257I dunno anon, the perspective is acceptable-ish and the muscles are correct-ish, but you won't improve much when you ignore planes and shapes and just produce
something that kinda looks like the refernece. She'll never get over drawing symbols for everything.
No. 526336
>>526257except she
won't keep doing studies like this anon, at least not because she wants to and knows it's good for her, but only because she was assigned to. She's one of those students in art class who do the bare minimum to get a passing grade and don't go any further on their own time cause they're so caught up in thinking every thing they do from that class is a waste of time and not a learning experience. These look horrid and it doesn't seem much time was taken to consider the study. She just popped 3 heads out and said 'done'. If she drew more of them, she could've shown them or took more time on them.

Maybe if she’d stop tracing, she’d actually learn something, and stop being so shit.
She’s such a fucking hypocrite.

>beraidlol ok Holly.
> I don’t really have the patience to befriend artists who put art second and still think they can be a pro. This sounds so condescending. So if you're not taking art seriously you're not 'good enough' to be her friend? no wonder she doesn't have any, much less found one in herself.
A big chunk of the way artists learn and grow and get better is looking at things outside of the scope of their own world as an artist. You know. Living life. You can't just have 'serious
artist only' friends, and you can't judge who takes it seriously or not.
God, she's so self-absorbed.
No. 526486
>>526443She has such unrealistic views on life. How in the fuck has she made it this far with out someone calling her on her shit?!
Maybe that’s why she’s taking online classes. She won’t have to listen to others criticize her work or attempt, then batch, any actual friendships.
No. 526526
>>526486Yeah basically she's hiding in her dirty room from reality. We need like a real well-known professional to break her ego because this is just disgusting behavior.
>>526386Has she ever thought that maybe you can have friends not just because they do art??? Like damn, she's gonna be alone forever. She's like those closed off trolls who sit behind their computers muttering that no one's good enough for their golden ass and will threaten to hack anyone who goes against them

These are some fucked up cabinets and that character looks like they're just floating in space. The perspective on them are just bad..like why not use perspective lines like you did on the ground plane for the walls?
I'm surprised she's still working on the kitchen animation thing. Thought she would quit like the other stuff
No. 526573
>>526565She said she's doing it for her final project for school (which she needs in order to graduate) and that she'll do 8 minutes with 12 frames per second.
I don't understand why she things that tracing models is okay because it saves time but she doesn't seem to use anything for her backgrounds where it would make much more sense.
No. 526574
>>526565I sincerely cannot see this being finished. She'll definitely quite partway through and maybe just submit the animatic or try to mock up a quick comic.
Either way this 8 minute long animation is absolutely not happening
Also I can't wait for her to hire VAs and then bitch about how shitty and unprofessional they are or something. I can't imagine anyone wanting to work for her if they saw what went down with the flatter.
No. 526584
>>526565Does anyone know what the pink thing on his back is? Every time I see this character I think it's a fairy paired with Barron Trump.
Also, didn't she say that she would post one new page of her comic a week? It still only has 5 pages and the character on her 'business postcards' still hasn't been introduced… What's the point of printing cards that advertise a comic with 5 pages?
No. 526903
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwtMn9hCgfsHow the fuck did she regress so bad? These are her highschool sketchbooks. She either didn't improve at all, or actually got worse (check out the feet). But she spends the whole video trying to be humble, while slipping up and saying how good they look before correcting herself with "disgusting!! this is all shit!! At the time, I thought I was a savant," so literally nothing has changed.
She's the classic kid who gets told they're really good at art so they never improve. Depressing.

What does she mean by 3D?? Does she mean using like sketchup models as the backgrounds and adding in her oddly shaped characters who are gonna float in space?
