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. Also known for giving shitty advice to impressionable beginners.

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

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 altogether

Is 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.

Fucked up the OP I guess, I'm sorry anons.

No. 498125

Holy shit. I just watched her most recent video where she “explains” what a professional is and I wanna fuck somebody up. HOW is she so entitled that she believes the amount of money you make constitutes being a professional??? Like what the fuck. The amount of money you make in the art field is dictated by your skill/hard work which then ALLOWS you to makes money. Not the other fucking way around.
At this point I think she doesn’t make art because she likes it rather because she wants to make money. She brags and brags about how much she earns and then lies to her fans who will start to believe that being a mediocre shit like her is good enough to be a professional.
I would say I fear for the future of her channel but I really don’t give a shit.

They already think that, judging by the comments on her videos.

Exactly, which is why they go looking for people like Holly to validate the way that they feel.

The only thing is they're going to have to unlearn a LOT of shitty habits and behaviors.

I watch people like Proko, Whyt Manga, WLOP, and JNAME 제넴.

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?

I've just been blocked by Holly on her Twitter account. Apparently giving any kind of feedback warrants an immediate ban, but her fans still found time to attack me.

They are just as thick headed as she is.

Ugh I can't believe I actually used to like her. I REGRET buying her shitty art, and I got to say that art book she made was so underwhelming to say the least.
also a small side note, she included a wonky nsfw image of her underage characters (damien and simon) sucking eachother and I am disgusted…

OT but Terri aint shit, either. And she's always coming off as a tryhard. She's been all over Holly's twitter comments and youtube comments trying to get more views from the residual drama. All she draws is ducks and mice with puckered lips.

Yeah no, I can't stand Holly but this girl just seems like yet another underage tumblrite. I really don't agree with the people who called Holly racist/homophobic either, this stuff just gives her more ammo to call everyone who calls her out on her bullshit a "butthurt SJW".

yeah, there's more shit to rag on holly for besides perceived "cissexism". they do have a follow-up video also that exactly no one cares about.
also they refer to themselves being "holly's age" in the video. i'd have given them some leeway otherwise, but they're just as embarrassing (if not worse… that art, yikes).

Oh damn, yeah that's the other reason I thought they were younger. It's one thing to be that bad in your 20's, but they're selling it and have a bunch of "support me" links.

I can't stop thinking about the fact Holly took on 25(I think?) commissions, and she only posted one. I thought she stated that she had completed five, and I really want to see the other four.

I wonder if she is still working on commissions between drawing her own stuff and making YouTube videos or not.

I don't know if I'm supposed to sage this either, but I did.

No. 498237

I was wondering about that too. Maybe she's just quietly doing them without posting them and sending them directly to her clients. because she knows we'll probably tear 'em apart, lol.

She's got a serious case of Liefeld going on in that bleach bottle hand. Like holding it was an afterthought.

Lol this is what I've been saying, Terri is just a tryhard with furries with puckered pouty lips, they all. look the same. She kisses up to Holly and it's so pathetic.

From her "there's millions of art jobs" video.

>"You know what'd really make you money? Making smut that panders to trans and lgbt ppl! That's where all the cash is."


While it'd be very milk-worthy, that's a terrible idea.

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.

No. 499165

not to mention accidentally selling it to a minor. And also her "sex" scenes are a total disaster with all of the wonky anatomy and wont sell as much cuz it's off putting. Would this affect her when she's looking for a job and the recruiters see her type of art and personality?

Honestly that isn’t really pandering to LGBT or the tumblr crowd. The thing about Holly and her fans is that they seem into things that are shouted down on tumblr (fetishizing trans people with porn ect) like it’s definitely on tumblr but they tend to get hate and flaming from a majority of the site. That’s why they all complain about SJWs cuz having a controversial interest like fetishy porn and taking on asshole personas is like inviting call outs. (Not saying I agree with the mentality but I do post art on tumblr and see it often enough)

I think she might be glorifying conventions a little too much, participating in artist alleys is 100% hard work and pressure not to mention there's a shitton of competition.
I mean, it's one thing to actually get into the artist alley at conventions and a completely different thing to sell at one.
No con with an AA jury would want her wonky art, and even if she did get in I highly doubt her stuff would sell very well.

To answer your question anon, no, there are plenty of people in the art industry who also draw smut. Of course it's separate from the rest of their work, but it's never been a dealbreaker.

Another anon here; I honestly love to draw very big chins but I balance them with other features; I do not think a big chin is necessarily (nesissarily?!) bad.

No. 500510

If you see her comic process, yeah that's exactly what she does.

She mentions in the last sketch dump video that she can't draw without reference and if you see her process it's honestly fucking terrible. She draws the barest of bases, which are basically a bunch of mishapen forms for the bodies, without any regard for anatomy, proportion or even balance. If it looks wonky, which it always does, she does some weird frankensteining. That's why her figures always look so stiff, off balance or like they're floating in mid-air. She has mentioned Kim Jung Gi a lot lately and maybe she thinks she can get away without proper guidelines? The thing is Gi had to study anatomy and prespective to achieve his current level.

This is what happens when you think you know everything and refuse to learn even basic shit.

She cuts half the skull off and doesn’t allow for the the curve of the neck. Tube people. The figures look like they’ve been sucked up a tube.

No. 500611

Yeah honestly if you have a proper grasp of form, anatomy, and proportion you can stretch the limit on anything and have it polished and stylized. Holly’s chins remind me of Hanna Barbera or Disney. Roger from 101 Dalmations has a massive chin but he is so pleasantly stylized it works. I’ve always thought Holly’s art looks like a mix of old Scooby Doo cartoons and Yu-Gi-Oh, but without the technical skill to make it work.

No. 500728

>>500661
At 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.

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.

I see unique anime hairstyles ALL THE TIME from newer shows. And they look good.

It's not even original… like, "Simon" is ripped from gurren lagann down to his stupid fucking glasses (which really don't fit the character or the universe or even look good on his face). 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.

>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.

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

Ugh, at first I thought Holly's comic process wasn't that bad because she seemed to have a good grasp on her thumbnails, but watching her redraw each character's expression like 10 times tells me all of that is bullshit. The character's expressions should be one of the first things you think about, considering everything is based off of them! Like, not just the dialog, but what the characters are doing and why. She's drawing a shocked face and then a blush-y face and then an angry face for just one panel; you should've made up your mind a LONG fucking time ago who your characters are and how they would react if you're putting pencil to paper.

When TwistedDisaster sketches she uses guidelines and structures and all that good stuff to get the proportions and dimensions right. But Holly seems to do almost none of that most of the time. She just dives right in or maybe draws like circle or a stick figure and then goes over it.

And granted once you're experienced enough you become better at free handing it and you don't have to do every single guide line but I think Holly could really benefit from putting more time into her base drawing instead of just winging it like she seems to do.

No. 502287

Holly comes across as very self-involved and self-centered. The world is seen through a narrow Holly-centric lens and everything she thinks is just fact, and everyone else is fake or wrong.

The cynical side of me really thinks that these two are just using each other for mutual benefit (if I were in Michie's position I can't say I wouldn't be tempted to use Holly as a stepping stool), but it's not unbelievable they would be friends. Holly seems to fit in with the Twisted Disaster crowd a lot better than with the Baylee Jae crowd. I never thought to compare the two before, but seeing them side by side, Michie is clearly a better artist even though her style doesn't appeal to me at all. She clearly understands shape and form better, and draws with confident lines. Not even to mention that she treats her career with a lot more maturity.

No. 502395

>>502382
I actually felt bad during the stream, because she was putting an honest effort into drawing and understanding Holly's characters and Holly was just making a joke of hers.
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. Her commentary, her inability to take it serious or put any effort into her half was just really sad.
I hope that Michie earned herself a few new followers at least.

I 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…

I completely agree about the quality of TwistedDisaster's art, she's mediocre at best and how she gets so many commissions is entirely beyond me. 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…

Well, I'm pretty sure everyone here can agree that Holly's biggest problem is that she's too self centered to change her ways, so I say be open to challenging yourself (in real ways, not like her stupid sketchbook slam thing), be open to critique (both from others and from yourself), and don't be afraid to acknowledge you have faults. The second you say to yourself that you don't need to get better is the second you die as an artist, and Holly's proven that point time and again.

My advice to you anon is to draw from life and read up on form and proportion. Holly is stuck in a mindset of knowing the basics well enough to move on and concentrate on her style or 10 different new things that she is instantly an ‘expert’ at because she has deluded herself into beleiving she is a professional. She has a ruedementary grasp on basic anatomy among other things. She is a beginner who thinks she’s an expert. Do not be arrogant. Draw real people, and THEN draw them in a style you develope.

She could fix the lean if she just put down a proper foundation before drawing.

What abuse? She slightly shouts at her cat and then swears at it a bit but… that's hardly abuse when it's an animal. She got its attention to stop eating the plant.
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.

Watched the part with the cat and I gotta say - I wouldn't call that abusive or even negligent. Her plants didn't look to be ground level, the cat climbed up on the shelf. Anyone who's ever owned a cat knows they can and will perch on any surface no matter how small, so I can't give her flak for that. 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)

I think it's just the one thing the "learned" how to draw in perspective and does it because she thinks it makes her art look more 3d.

Why is Holly so bad with money? I don't get it. She's about to drop 45 dollars on a fucking cardboard box, and everything else she wants for her convention is 50-100, even the damn card holder is like 30 bucks, plastic sleeves for 30 bucks.
And 105 for a table skirt? I just…
She spends so much money on shit she probably won't even use. She has so much expensive equipment in her room that she never uses, trashes, or both.

Yeah, she spends mad cash on so many things I wish I could buy, but never uses them or treats them so poorly they become unusable.
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. And all the ink was spilling in the trash over what looked to be a Japanese artbook, something I wouldn't throw away.
Didn't she grow up extremely poor? Shouldn't that teach you to treat everything you own with dignity? Especially expensive stuff?

Baylee is probably on equal level to Holly. Actually, Holly may be more technically skilled as she ventures out to draw things other than cute bug-eyed girls standing in a neutral position. I think when people say "better", they mean "more appealing to the general public".
Holly probably has one of the least appealing style of the youtube famous girl artists, because she doesn't draw cute things people would buy, she draws giant-chinned men.

Animefest is a first come first serve con so her chances of getting in are decent as long as she remembers when apps open.

Watched most of the video.

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

>>506744

she's absolutely not learning from past experience. she's printing them at 13x19 now because "that's what her printer prints at" does she not know that you can adjust the size of paper your printer prints? Also, she thinks the 13x19 prints will sell well because "nobody else sells that size".

Doesn't holly understand that people, esp the kids and teens that go to these conventions have limited wall space and cash? they want to buy lots of smaller prints to fill their wall, not one big print (esp if the art on it looks like deformed goblins)

Yeah, I don't know how well she's going to do. Her art is unappealing (like noted before as shit as BJs art is it has market appeal) so I don't know who will buy it it. Her prints aren't creative either, art like hers would probably sell better as comic/story driven illustrations with shit jokes.

And selling graphic novels is hard. I do at conventions and you need to hustle hard and schmooze with the crowd to actually get it in their hands.

Like she's complaining about expensive stands because she'd be scared to touch them. It doesn't matter! Label everything clearly and be a friendly person. When someone comes to your table the objective is to get their hands on your comic book. Like use a solid pitch, offer it to them to flip through.

She bought all this stuff and she still has prints and merch to consider.
Hell, she's still got merch she's yet to even make.
Chop-chop, Holls, lol.

I've seen the odd 1 or 2 less skilled artists get tables at events and get no foot traffic. Same for good ones, too. Where the table is in the con is also a huge factor that she might have little to no control over unless she's willing to fork over extra for a prime spot like some places let you do.
None of this is stacked in her favor and she keeps on making poor decisions.

Oh for fuck’s sake.
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.

I live in Europe so things might be different here, but comic conventions have a really huge variety in demographics and artist alleys/self published comics are filled with young artists working with several styles. Definitely the best place to sell your COMICS, otherwise is just random merchandise done with fan arts in mind. Especially in my country you cannot be accepted in artist alleys/self publishing if you sell fan arts (in most cases) and if you don’t have original products.

Regular 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.

I don't know a lot about it, but from a quick 2 minute google that seemed pretty average for people working on webcomics. Does anyone with more knowledge have any input?

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.

I don't get Holly's big deal with being 'accountable' or whatever her excuse is. That's all she says throughout the video, "Oh, I could stop making the videos but then I wouldn't be accountable!"

You'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.

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.

There'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.

>>510421
Comic 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.

>>510455
Some 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.

She’s not. She is still a beginner, she doesn’t know how to draw. She doesn’t use grids for anatomy and perspective, she just wings it and hopes going over it 4/5 times until it’s semi-coherent will be enough. Instead she should learn to draw, then make her comics.

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.

She doesn’t like PP either, she just thinks it will sell more because it’s supposedly funnier and in full colour. Purgatory was a mistake to her and soon she’ll realise that PP Is the same. It baffles me how little taste she has, about color, composition and basic graphic knowledge. 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.

If 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.

So 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.

It's all going to end up being added to the landfill that is her room afterwards. This is just another phase for her and when she realizes how much money she wasted, she probably won't try it again for a while and find another thing to try to make money off of with as little effort as possible.

Looking at it, something just feels off. I don't know if i'm the only one but the Iphone looks for some reason bent to me, but when I turn my screen, it's fine. the pictures of the screens were photo-shopped on weirdly too. it doesn't matter how you tilt you phone or tablet, the dots at the top left of your screen are never cut off. Also, i'm 85% sure something is wrong with the way she stuck the screen onto the tablet. the top looks uneven and at an angle that is not aligning correctly with the rest of it. Even if that's just my eyes playing tricks on me, I don't think it was a good idea to tilt the devices. Not going to question why this screenshot was taking at 3 in the morning (the haunting hour), but maybe it's a symbol of how terrifying awful this comic and it's art is.

The 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'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.

Con 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.

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?

And when I look at her work as a whole, it actually sort of bores me. It's bland. So it's hard to imagine her art on merchandise, much less it selling unless the buyer was a fan/had mediocre taste.

It's not that hard if you have a grasp of color theory, but I guess if you pick butt-ugly eyesore color palettes for your characters, then it becomes harder to pull off. Also…difference in skin tone really shouldn't matter when it comes to "color harmony", again, so long as you have a grasp of how light behaves on certain surfaces and how that affects their color. I'm gonna stop myself here otherwise I'm gonna go into a huge color theory rant.

idk, I see "color harmony" in this tweet and look at her work and something tells me she might be thinking of…something other than color theory.

This is actually true though. It's important to have a good color pallet for each individual character but you also have to make sure they look good in a group.
The thing is, you're supposed to plan this BEFORE you start drawing your comic. You;ll save yourself a lot of trouble and a lot of consistency editing in the future.

> exhibit a grandiose sense of self-importance, need for excessive admiration, and lack of empathy. 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.

i'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.

What's the deal with this new "anti-critique" idea that critics need to give you some sort of answer on how to fix your art? 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.

No. 516911

>>516867

Lol 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."

Literally, that's what good critique is. Telling someone their art is bad and same facey and to fix it isn't good critique, no matter what you tell yourself.

No. 516915

>>516911
That’s true but somehow people that don’t know how to fix a problem might point out at something that looks off, too. That doesn’t mean “your color choices are horrible” is a good critique”, but even somebody who doesn’t have a good grasp of anatomy can tell you that a pose or an arm looks off without knowing how to fix it. I think both should be taken into account and the only things to “discard” are useless hateful comments that are genuinely not helping.

Thats true, I do agree with this. One is more helpful than the other, but just because you don't know how to fix it doesn't mean you can't offer critique. But if you can offer suggestions, it's great to do so . Either way, it's important to know how to take critique.

Yeah, not only is not getting an ideal critique a bad excuse, Holly is one of those people that knows she has a shit process but always makes excuses for it.

Wouldn’t it make sense for her to sell those stuff at like comic con or CTN? I wonder if she even knows what CTN is since she wants to be in the entertainment industry

No. 518028

The sad part is that Holly could have possibly made a profit doing cons if she didn’t hemmorage money trying to buy things to make her look ‘professional’ at the con and stuck to selling smaller and cheaper items. Most people at conventions are ok with spending money buying cheap stickers or keychains from their favorite fandoms because it’s nice having a small reminder of their time there. Pricey art books or expensive large prints on the other hand don’t sell as well because between all the expenses it’s hard to justify forking over that much unless it has really great art or is made by a well liked artist.

No. 518071

It's hilarious to me that even the cover has a study sketch on it, that wonky skull. If you're gonna add studies, they should showcase a unique style or point of inspiration but she never even draws from life so what's the point?. It's just crap to fill the pages.

I know someone further up mentioned someone sending her a message about tabling at STAPLE, and that would probably be the most beneficial con for her to table at. It's 1000% her market there if she's trying to peddle off her shitty original comic and I've come from that con with almost a grand in a weekend.

I'd wanna see her there if only to see this $4000 display. Wonder if she took that message's advice about applying.

I think she meant it the other way around. Like that broken families are normal in her eyes because she had it worse and that’s an improvement to how she would live. That’s why real normal families would blow her mind away.

to be honest, that's pretty accurate, at least to me/friends, but when did Holly get abused? She seems to have a pretty cushy family life from what she's shown, and her having depression isn't really 'having a bad family' (unless they caused it)

No. 518874

I could be reaching but it seems like Holly is the type to do shit just for attention. Maybe her family put too much pressure on her or wasn’t around enough due to obligations or something but it seems like she just wants people to pay attention to her good or bad.

Something always seems un-genuine about
her. Probably just her personality pisses me off. Again reaching.

No. 518914

Ok 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

>>518914
Thanks 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 extended leg is too long and out of proportion.

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.

No. 522154

>>522021
The 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

>>522010
Pretty 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 >>522021 stated), the hands would look better. But the perspective on the reference photo vs what she drew isn't the same, hence people also pointing out why the arms are weird and the pose is stiff and unnatural.

>>521883
kek it feels like she unintentionally foreshortened the wrong leg. Back leg is scary long especially since our eyes want to naturally see foreshortening.

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.

Which mainly gets into this bit:
>Yes tracing can make you lazy but it can also make drawings accurate.

Holly is basically calling herself out in the sense that "accuracy" is more important to her than trying to learn to draw the pose on her own accord. Not to even mention the drawing wasn't accurate in the first place, so it defeats the whole purpose of tracing.

The contexts of the examples are professionals tracing their own work - technically if you ink your own lineart it's "tracing" but no one has a problem in terms of tracing work made by the artist.

No. 524873

people who trace will find ways to excuse it no matter what. tracing leads to bad habits, poor technique, forced poses/interactions, and worse understanding of technical skill especially for new artists because tracing just gets you from point a to point b without you figuring out how you got there. her laziness is just weakening her skill (as if she had any to begin with)

Whenever I go to cons I only see really good artists who sell sketchbooks. To me it seems that a very high level of skill is warranted in people wanting to see and purchase your sketches.
I always treated them as art books, and I collect them from artists I like and want to learn from, to study how they construct a drawing, and their gesture forms, and idea process. For a non-artist, I imagine the standards would be pretty high as well, since you want to look at pretty art regardless.

I never see low-skilled or medium skilled artists selling sketchbooks. I've heard that the market for them is pretty low compared to those who want prints and trinkets. Only really passionate and really talented people think it's worth the investment. Well, Holly made a HUGE investment, and I really don't think it's going to pay off.

If she is she’s an immature child about it. Yeah she mentioned once she’d never date a woman because she would only date a ‘10’ which will just ‘never happen’. Wtf ever Holly you’re a fetishy fujo and as someone who IS bi, I’m not buying it. I feel like she’s using it like you said, as a way to justify her fetishy fujo art. There’s having preferences for gender and then there’s, ‘uwu gay bois SO GAY, don’t worry I’m gay I promise btw I hate being around women they all just kinda suck whoops check out my underage gay boy BJ sketch.’ So full of shit.

She actually said she'd never date a woman and she's calling herself bi? Lmfao. She's straight. It's the in thing right now for kids to call themselves "gay", it's equivalent to nerdy/weird/strange in their head. Consuming gay porn doesn't make you gay, neither does admiring a hot woman's beauty, someone tell the fujoshis.

Just watched her video called “Character Concepting” and I’m confused. A) why is that boy’s shorts so damn short. B) why is she doing an animation for her illustration degree? Is she going to get the proper guidance she needs on animation from an illustration professor? Does she have to tools she needs? 12 frames 60 seconds 8 minutes is 5760 frames, which is a lot of work! I don’t know if she can do this, and if she fails this she might not get her degree which is a waste of time and money.
C) lineless art doesn’t seem easier to animate. It seems just as hard, since she’s hand drawing each frame and not doing flash shortcuts n shit. I don’t know much about animation, but it seems like she’s not cutting anything out.

Yeah, line-less art is gonna take more time with coloring than actual animating. Even if she does regular line art and doesn't have time to color, she'll at least have an animation. I'd rather she focus on the roughs than bother adding color to distract the audience from her shitty animating. Even her layouts are bad because she doesn't understand perspective. 8 minutes is too much work for one person for the short time period she has to finish it. I bet she didnt even consider pre-production

Her book is so ugly to look at, not just because of the art but because of how unorganised every thing is.
She could have made sections, one for comic art, fan art, observational etc. or maybe have it be chronological. Just so it’d flow together more.

Considering the stuff she usually posts this isn't that bad. Most of the muscles seem accurate and we don't have the weird elongated chins she usually draws. Also for the most part the perspective isn't as bad as it usually is (probably because she is drawing from a model/image). Yes, her attitude is obnoxious in this post, but I can really see Holly improve a bit if she keeps doing studies like this.

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.

How 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!!
