Hey art nerds! This is a thread for everyone's favorite starving artist, Becca "All give and no take" Hilburn!
Becca Hillburn is an artist and art supply reviewer currently living in Nashville, TN with her living ATM/fiancee. She's behind the blog Nattosoup as well as her very own YT channel. Her primary claim to 'fame' used to be art supply reviews and field tests, but now she's most known for her bitterness and mediocrity. Egotistical and whiny to a fault, she'd rather sit back and play pretend art teacher to her 2-3 student workshops and sell 2 dollar prints at 12 cons a year than use her Masters to get an actual day job. Her primary personality trait is her two-facedness, presenting as a pleasant and helpful teacher upfront while harboring whiny resentment and bitterness beneath. She's also the artist behind '7" Kara' - an all-ages webcomic about Becca's ADHD self-insert ripping of The Borrowers and Thumbelina, rendered in muddy watercolors that she could totally do digitally. Becca shills the fuck out of this comic, going so far as to get physical copies printed for her to sell at cons and donate to lending libraries.
>Has been on YT for several years but even with her 'popular' blog cannot manage to break 10k subs. The vast majority of her videos hardly make it over 300 views.
>Nothing is ever her fault. Blames 'baby artists' and fans for depending on her too much without giving her anything in return (as in, not throwing money and love at her feet).
>Considers herself a watercolor expert despite her muddy, poorly-mixed colors and weak grasp on composition.
>SCAD alumni. Apparently didn't network enough to land an industry job out of school.
>Allegedly used to spend 7k a month on video editing - even though her videos are meandering, rambling, poorly shot messes.
>Obsessed art supply hoarder. Begs her fans to email art supply companies on her behalf to send her free shit then turns around to complain about having no room for any more.
>Goes on about her ADHD so far as to make an entire vlog series about how it sux to be hur guise.
>Actively resents her tiny pool of viewers and students, talking shit behind their back about how they don't support her enough.
>Made her obviously uninterested fiance 'interview' her at a cons… Just so she go on rants about how underappreciated and overworked she is.
>Has a hateboner for the online stationery retailer Jetpens.com (which she insists is an art supply store) because they refused to send her PR after she harassed them for it. Claims that she's single-handedly responsible for popularizing them, despite Jetpens being an established retailer before she started giving them 'free promo' at cons. She vagueblogs about them on a regular basis despite following their official social media accounts.

No. 895885
She shits on her few supporters so much that I can't tell if she made the comic to get fans or to gather a hater following so she can be passive aggressive at specific people without being called a bitch.
Also, everything she draws and paints looks like it's from a low-budget 90s cartoon. Having a cohesive palette like
>>895809 would help the muddiness, make the shit anatomy and questionable perspective less obvious, and would make the comic less painful to look at overall.
No. 895909
>>895728She HAD to be mispeaking when she said she paid 7k/month for editing. Maybe she meant 700 a month or 7k a year? Still way too much but more reasonable. Don't know what her fiance does for a living but I doubt his income is even that much a month.

No. 896011
>>896000lol I found her through reviews of cons before she got involved with kiriska and how to be a con artist. She was super chill on her blog seemingly, but I think cuz she’s been doing cons for years and trying to get her mediocre comic off the ground with no payoff and now that social media is more integral to art, she really needs a therapist or some shit instead of spewing on social media how she feels entitled to success.
That being said, I just saw she’s planning to kickstart her book or something and I’m excited to see her eventual blowup cuz it won’t work out
No. 896297
Did Becca change her catchphrase? In the latest video she says "heeeey arty friends" instead of "HEY ART NERDS".
>>896080If this is what all her classes are like, then I can see why she averages at 3-4 students. Becca seems like such a dry, uncharismatic teacher, and this goes on for almost two hours. It's like she's giving a powerpoint presentation for a high school class she doesn't give a shit about. Looks like her class is a majority older people and retirees.
Lol, the majority of her comic examples are manga. Would it hurt her to be a bit less weebish?
No. 896755
>>896297Thing is with Becca, her “style” is manga-ISH but it doesn’t look like she uses or reads actual manga cuz if she did then her comics would make a fuckton more sense or just be better in general. There’s so much GOOD manga out there now, not to mention the classics like Tezuka and Urasawa, that she can’t lean on the crutch that manga is so “mysterious” and unknown, like every weeb with an internet connection reads manga. Her style seems more lifted from someone vaguely remembering what sailor moon dubs from the 90’s looked like except they were going blind and hadn’t seen them since.
Im so tired of these basic ass white women artists trying to get on with styles obviously lifted from manga, Becca just does it badly. It occurred to me since I frequent the baylee jae thread that she and Becca are quite similar in style ways but Becca wishes so badly to have the audience that baylee has

>>897191Oh god, she’s one of /those/ con people. I’ve seen too many like her in my own local con scene so I know exactly what you’re talking about. She’s very similar to a group of guys I know in town who make shit tier comics and get pissy when people don’t buy them at cons. Like they don’t get why it’s so unappealing to everyone but them. The only difference between them and Becca is that they have day jobs and none have a SO to take care of them financially.
Also, asking what people made while not disclosing your sales is such a tacky and cunty thing to do so I’m not surprised by this.

Becca strikes me as dated. She's like watching a teenager from 2002 trapped in a 2019 30 year old's body. I don't blame people for not approaching her table at cons, traditional art does not compete well with digital art if the art itself and the use of the medium is not very good and her ideas are dull looking, ie, she was selling dark wood charms a la Holly Brown when the teens and very young adults that make up most of convention attendance will gravitate towards acrylic, bright colors and things that pop. If you can't tell what something is until getting super close it's not a good sign. But of course as someone from a time capsule she's pretty bad at digital art too and sticks to default brushes and settings.
The (lack of) editing in her videos is also boomer tier, what can I say. There is a video of her doing a voiceover tutorial and mid way you can hear her talking to her SO loudly and voices overlap because she didn't even mute the visual track. Her attitude is that of a milennial though lmao.

>>897306Yikes, this was hard to watch. Asides from the weird thing going on with the camera that made everything wobble, her saltiness at other people working on zines is unbearable.

She said in a tone lacking empathy:

No. 898003
>>897930I've been in the same webcomic-creator circles as Becca before and running a kickstarter for your comic is 100% a vanity thing. Most people have small audiences, but set the goal very low, think $500-$1000 dollars. Printing an indie comic in a small run isn't necessarily expensive at all, thanks to sites like Ka-Blam, so successful kickstarters for no-name comics are not an anomaly at all. Take something like this for example:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1691223860/heroic-shenanigans-volume-1Of course, this is assuming she decides to be reasonable and set her goal to something low and realistic. She'll be out of her mind if she asks for more that $1000

No. 898795
>>898649If you go back in her blog far enough to the con reviews, she also does $1/$5 commissions too and that’s what mainly sells for her at non-craft faires, mostly cuz like she never has anything for anime cons (idr if she’s done comic cons) that people actually WANT. plus she tries to shill her comic at them when like, people who do anime cons have stepped up and surpassed her by a great deal. Like for real, her commissions look like what you’d pay $1/$5 for, but seriously like how low is her self-respect in that you’d work for below minimum wage.
Like, she also has the aura of someone who’s so scared and unsure of their own work that they become defensive with massive overconfidence even though she seriously lacks the skill and it feels like she thinks she doesn’t have to learn anymore cuz she has a masters. The opposite is true of actual, good pro artists like a ton are just super humble and also keep learning in addition to also being teachers. I’m also wondering if Becca doesn’t do cons as often anymore cuz there’s so much more younger people who are way better at everything

>>899081>OEL was a dumb marketing term used by TokyoPop referencing American comics that were vaguely manga-ish - again this tells you how long ago this was.This is hilarious because OEL was a term only really used by Tokyopop and I think Antarctic Press to pass off otherwise completely Western comics while still calling them 'manga'. It's kind of a death flag for comics. Even otherwise decent comics slapped with the OEL label went unsold just because weeaboo kids buying Tokyopop manga would pass it up in favor of 'authentic' titles. That editor sounds old and out of touch and Becca's dumb ass is stubbornly eating up that advice.
Becca keeps going to anime cons because they're more numerous and she's a weeaboo. She's just like Holly, consumed with wishful thinking, getting ego boosts off of seeing people buy their shitty merch.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but in grayscale you can really see how everything just melds together, especially in the top three panels. Nothing is defined clearly
No. 905864
>>905832I don’t think you’re nitpicky because you’re right, her value hierarchy with figures is lacking, like if she does any value studies she clearly doesnt understand the importance of it especially with local colors. Like in that first panel, she understands darker things need to be in the foreground but the cat blends in with the figure of the girl, why does it have to be there and why can’t it be lighter if it’s farther back? The tiny girl sticks out in the last panel cuz of relative value but why is her hair blending in with the darkness? Why does she also change positions without explanation?
I also agree with
>>905422 and this goes with the whole thing about value, like how dark the skin of the girl is is borderline offensive because she has no idea how to render black skin other than “dark”. Like the skin of someone with more melanin and pigments in it reflects the light a lot differently than it does white skin but the way she colors this girl is like if she’s never looked at a photo of a black person before. If she going to keep sticking to this style where she renders watercolor instead of doing something that suits her line work better like flat color washes, then she needs to learn how to render better and use colors correctly.
>>905857Well if she is reading this thread, I hope she knows she’s doing a disservice to people and kids by teaching them incorrectly and showing them she’s unwilling to learn and grow through others and continual learning. Just because you have a masters degree doesn’t mean you’re a good artist

>>905811>>905827Yeah I think the unicorn girl actually is a lot better than her art right now. Like it’s digital so she didn’t muddy it with rendering and the understanding of clothing and anatomy is way better than her comparison image

>>906176Lol the thing is is that she DOES. If u look up any of her watercolor tutorials on her website, she does tape her work but she uses hardware store blue painters tape. Also I don’t know if she knows loose watercolor paper sometimes needs to be stretched/sized since a lot of them will be coated in a thin protective layer of sizing (usually it’s gelatin) and that fucks up your painting ability if it hasn’t been washed out. But she’s also just a shit painter
Honestly if she’s so adamant about “testing” art supplies (aka getting shit for free from jetpens cuz she’s an “educator”), she needs to try new tape like gummed paper tape or just a watercolor block cuz clearly her material choices are garbage and whoring yourself to companies who will give u free stuff isn’t working

She’s very quickly labeling herself as a bitter bitch to not associate with too, she’s digging her own grave cuz she’s from a small community and of course people will know this.
>>906345What bugs me about that line in diversity is that like, if she goes to any con that isn’t her dinky podunk, 2k attendee or less cons then she’d see there’s already a bunch of diversity in AA’s. AA’s don’t need her to encourage diversity but she thinks she’s some sort of white knight innovator or something, she’s so delusional

>>906907Tbh I expect this kind of slow pace with someone who works a day job but other than “teacher”, which it does t sound like something she does more than occasionally, what the heck is she doing??? Plus if she’s been working on it for so long, then why hasn’t she developed any shortcuts like most people do when they’ve been consistently working for years?
>>906896She seems to think she’s god’s savior to weeb artists for some reason just by virtue of age?? Which she never ever was nor does she change her ways in the evolving media/marketing spheres. Like it sounded like when she did her masters in SCAD, they barely had a sequential department and she had to create a ton of her own curriculum, so she thinks she’s an innovator in that means but like, get real Becca you only had to do that cuz scad took your money but didn’t know shit, that’s how a for-profit art school does. People don’t need to learn from her, she’s better off becoming like an elementary school art teacher rather than becoming even more of a bitter bitch cuz nobody listens to her cuz her tools and style are outdated as fuck

It's like she wants to think the internet is as small and clueless as whatever tiny ass bumfuck town she lives in and that she's truly the weeb art messiah.
Part of me thinks she honestly doesn't care that much about art. How do you go about doing art for so long, even going to get a masters for it, and yet you still put out… this? She just wants the validation and the praise.
Seeing her only get to far and have to resort to making passive aggressive comments to her audience is like some sort of karmic justice lol. Becca has such a nasty fucking attitude, I'm glad she's stuck at the bottom of the barrel.

I think it's quite easy to colour more than a double spread a day if she would switch between pages while they are drying. Also the size she's working on seems rather small and her stuff is far from beeing full of detail or challenging perspectives.
The first volume has 110 pages, let's say the second one does also. That's 18 pages a year the last six years or 1,5 pages a month. Even if she spends half a year or full year on working on story/ research and sketches, she's really, really slow.

“Look at me, I’m SO. SELFLESS. Look at all that I do for all of you ungrateful shits.”
Does Becca think there aren’t tons of other small arttubers who do the same thing as a passion project? With how much she constantly has to state that she’s taking her own precious time, resources, and knowledge to do it, the less and less it comes off as a passion project and the more it just screams “GIVE ME MONEY AND VALIDATION (BUT MOSTLY YOUR MONEY!)” Her and Holly feel like opposite ends of the spectrum to me. Becca won’t let the fuck go of her failure of a webcomic/youtube channel/blog, meanwhile Holly can’t stick to a small set of things to sell/make if her life depended on it.

>>907399Yeah, this. Becca is uniquely impervious to any insults, advice, or suggestions. She's 100% convinced her artwork is great and it's the audience's fault for not recognizing that, and she's also convinced that she knows exactly how to market her work, despite all evidence to the contrary. She is like Teflon, and reality is but a small amount of cooking oil that will easily slide off of her.
She really is the anti-Holly Brown, who hates herself but inexplicably has a huge following.

No. 908061
>>908038Most artists I know get RSI’s in some way from drawing but half of them are not dumbasses and went to doctors to address shit. Biggest example is the comic artist yuko ota, who wrote a book/drew a comic about the nerve damage in her arms and learning to draw with her non dominant hand (she’s a similar age to Becca just more prolific and well known).
If her grip is causing her pain and damage, she should see a doctor instead of whining on the internet but she lives in America in a shit part of the US where there isn’t good poor people insurance so I’m willing to bet she either doesn’t have it or her fiancé has shit tier. I wouldn’t put it past her to whine about not having insurance to go see doctors on the internet for points
No. 908089
>>908061I noticed that many american / canadian artists (at least those doing YT artentainment who went to for profit diploma mills) have bad grip and issues with joints. Which is super weird to me, because if you go to traditional art school in Europe they make sure the arists have proper grip simply to avoid issues like it. I've heard that a very talented girl didn't get accepted, because the teachers saw her bad grip and posture during exams and told her to come back when she got it right. I had to take an art course for credit and the teacher from that art university made us effing stretch before and after 3 hrs long lesson. I kinda appreciate it now.
Looking at how Becca draws, my fingers curls on sympathy pain.
No. 908235
>>908089It’s a NA thing but with Canadians, they have universal healthcare so everything is covered cost wise but usually it takes months or so to see a specialists and sometimes I think someone like a physical therapist or masseuse are not covered by their universal care. It’s still better than Americans, we’re basically kind of fucked for preventative shit so getting treatment is hard, especially on a freelancer/poor person’s income and if you aren’t on healthcare plan through a parent (provided you aren’t over 26) or through a spouse or you did service in the military (through the VA).
But yeah, it might have changed slightly since I went to school, but most art schools don’t do anything that involves stretching or taking care of yourself. I don’t know if it’s a fully American thing, but there’s also a point of pride for lots of people to continue working their bodies past the point of pain, like if you listen to any stories about the animators on the first toy story a lot of them recall breaking their bodies to finish it. And fundamental classes definitely don’t stress the importance of grip, I just remember like they taught us cursive writing more in elementary school rather than something useful like how to hold a pencil correctly. I’m hoping with more awareness now especially online that there’s more of a movement to not mess up your body for art but who knows.
She’s definitely gripping too hard but she’s just like a baylee Jae where she doesn’t do shit to make her life better even though she has the means to. Like it’s pretty easy to recognIze you grip too hard if you develop pressure calluses and doing steps to prevent it like wrapping styluses in foam or learning to draw lightly. But just like her, Becca is stubborn and will not do anything to solve that

Iirc it was moderately successful because people actually READ the comics the creators were from and they had reach on social media. Becca went into this cuz she had a grudge against mechacon, she was too slow for FCFS and couldn’t beg enough to be put on the waitlist, and didn’t have an online store or a good streaming setup
Becca making her own streaming con and going to the lengths of setting her fuckin table up is just too funny and her expectations that people who would go to mechacon would see her LOL. She acts as though she’s the draw for these people when it’s like, you’re kidding nothing but yourself Becca

I can't believe she actually thinks she has an audience though. I figured most of the people who would stop by her table at cons only knew her for her 'how to be a con artist' shit and not actually for her art, or were random passerbys with an impulsive shopping habit and saw cheap commissions available.
She mentions fleeting popularity, but what popularity has she ever enjoyed? And yet despite realizing that cons cannot be depended on as an actual source of income, she refuses to get an actual job (art related or otherwise). I know the post is 2 years old, but still. She also only got 2 commissions during a 6 hour stream. Did she take 3 hours per commission or just stare blankly at the camera for most of the time?

>>906358 posted from her behance too, she just puts t-shirts on everything without knowing how things work on top of a figure plus how clothing adds to character designs. Like she has a vague understanding of draping in your first edit anon, but it’s very “I looked at sailor moon once and now I can draw folds” because that dress would be shorter in the front and lower in the back with where her edges are. Your edit is much better cuz it suggest the skirt is a full circle with the bunching in the front, but the whole outfit is like etc especially with a giant bow obscuring part of her face

>>916067There's nothing inherently wrong about doing a comic in pencil with watercolor in the style Becca does it. The problem isn't the medium, it's that Becca is just really bad with watercolors.
Beasts of Burden is another comic done in watercolor, which uses some similar techniques as Becca's. The difference is that one artist knows that they're doing, and the other one doesn't.

We literally posted about Jill Thompson up higher in the thread with Beasts of Burden, she and like Colleen Doran and Nicola Scott have been in comics since the nineties. And western “big-two” type comics are of course predominately male, BUT if you look at indie and children’s comics, then the market is half of not mostly female? Manga, webtoon, children’s books, like the inherent perceived misogyny she has of an industry she’s not even a part of is an excuse. Like go fuckin sperg on cape comics but she’s stupid cuz that’s not a type of comic she wants to do. Artists like Raina Telgemier have been on the NYT bestsellers list bigger than cape comics and she does kids comics.
You just have to have GOOD art. And also checking out who she follows on social media, they’re all prominent industry artists and mostly female. Like this isn’t an excuse anymore, there’s been women in various illustration industries for years.

I hopped over to her patreon and she has a long public post about being “newly inspired” to work but has ADHD. Was she even formally diagnosed or is she just self hopping that bandwagon?

In her discord, she was saying how it's not wrong to expect returns from what she's done, like commissions or comics. She was saying how if she puts energy into it, it's fine to expect something back. When the reality is that online art, webcomics, and youtube are usually fruitless endeavours. Not many people go into these fields expecting a direct return monetarily or popularity wise. People make youtube content or webcomics because they want to, and maybe sure they might have the idea that they want to be noticed some day, but for the most part it's incredibly disheartening to expect it.

I've tried to watch some of her workshop videos but it's so fucking boring- how would a classroom of 30 kids deal with that? She also just goes on and on about a whole bunch of irrelevant shit lol.

Am I the only one who think the old one has better colour? The new looks oversaturated and muddy.
No. 931212
>>931155Bullshit. Even if it is different settings, you can still compare them with value contrast especially because there’s no lighting other than ambient lighting.
The first one is better because the overall lightness of the watercolors helps the art out a lot even though the colors are roughly all the same and the shadows especially on the first panel are the same colors as the trees. The line work works with the watercolor better. The second one is intelligible with saturation and value contrast, if it’s a different setting then make like the last panel more obvious that it’s different, right now the house is blending into the background of like an alleyway or something? You can’t even tell. Plus the lighting makes no sense, if the figures at the bottom have shadows underneath them, then why do the shadows on the bucket and round things going to the left? Why doesn’t the house also have a cast shadow that strong and why doesn’t the clothesline and the stuff on it cast shadows? It benefits the first one that there isn’t strong lighting or she tried to do fancy shadows cuz the line work is still more solid

She's only in her 30s and she's had the same access to those resources kids have herself for years now.
Makes me think she had too much pride to look up any tutorials and she fell off technology. Not good when she's trying to make a living from doing art online.

Same Anon that posted about her giving me terrible advice at 17. Pic related because that is my art from when I was 16/17 when we were talking. So not that great but yeah lol I was a junior in high school ffs.
The advice she gave me just pissed me off so much, I never really thought of her after that till I saw this thread. She needs to stop hosting workshops for kids. Thank you everyone for agreeing with me hahaha, I was really nervous posting that reply. I don't really have a public art presence anymore just because I'm shy.

But this thread and what started out on the salt threads came because she tried to start a fight with jet pens on twitter cuz she thinks she’s entitled to them because she claims she brought them their audience. She’s a cow cuz she’s delusional and has no idea how her industry should work, like she blames sexism for the non-success of her comic when like nearly all of the comics on the NYT bestsellers list are all kid comics, and she’s clearly spiteful and jealous of other artists despite “knowing” more cuz she paid for a “masters” from SCAD.
I’m pretty sure she knows of the thread by now cuz she’s said like at least we’re not doxxing her, which apart from the one anon who wanted to white knight and stuff to make her know she’s a bitch, but mostly her hubris and stuck up-ness about being all-knowing is what keeps her from learning from this and other artists in general

>>932829I think she's fascinating to watch and that she's earned this thread. It's her reward for all of her hard work.
I'd been following How to Be a Con Artist and reading her materials reviews for years, but I never knew she was like this up until perhaps a few months ago when I compared her tone of writing to Kriska's in one of the Artist Salt threads. It was one of those "I thought it was only me" moments, so it's good to know that it wasn't. I noticed her tone when reading the merch articles, but I noticed it even more on her Natto Soup blog when I was in the process of learning about using watercolors in my work and searching for tool reviews. Even though I was learning, it was clear, in a lot of her reviews, she didn't know what she was doing but wouldn't admit this despite being an "expert."
It would be one thing if she were some eccentric watercolorist with an inflated ego but largely harmless. But if she were that, she'd likely have a real following.
Instead, she makes a strong effort to reach out to children and I feel as if this wasn't the case years ago. She went from 'all ages' to 'young artists/kids.' She's the epitome of
>>932989>>932870No wonder she felt threatened. She clearly had an eye for potential, but where it could have made her into a good art teacher, she chose to try and weaponize it. I'm glad you didn't take her """advice""".

ok this is an example of how becca is terrible at visual storytelling. this page is mean to shock the reader cause the grass has been cut or whatever but there hasn't been a page showing what the grass looked like before and the family didnt hear the lawnmower, which would probably be really loud, so the readers have no idea what kara's "oh no"-ing at until she expositions it the next page

>>934099>>934083It's not just the premise. It's also her lack of solid worldbuilding that works against her big time.
Everything that makes up the world Kara lives in, is regurgitated from some other story.

It doesn't feel like a real, live, breathing world of little people exist in Kara's world. Kara and family just feel like more human characters that just happen to be small.

I've been reading this thread for awhile and just came to the realization that if she went to SCAD as a graduate she should have be able to have had access to work closely with professors. The illustration department and seqa departments have always been closely linked.
Daniel Powers in the illu dept is specifically a watercolor children's book illustrator and there is no possible way she could have not gotten (or at least been recommended) guidance from him, and yet here we are.

Like the school I went to had comics as a class you could take in the illustration major but everyone took illustration core classes which included one where we had to work in watercolor.
She has waxed poetic so much about going to art school for her masters and like reading this post

But yeah Becca reminds me of just those average students who do the assignments to pass but don’t know what the current art landscape of the industry she wants to be in looks like.

Also this is slightly related, but fellow art school anons does it also irritate you when people refer to teachers/instructors at art schools as “professors”? Like they don’t have professorships or PhD’s like at actual universities, they’re usually just older working artists (heck some didn’t even work in an industry after a while). it’s like the sign of those pretentious dumbass people at school like Becca who have no idea how art works

>>934640>fellow art school anons does it also irritate you when people refer to teachers/instructors at art schools as “professors”?Why would it? It's tradition in art academic circles showing respect to your teachers. IMO stickling to their trade/academics titles is more ridiculous and pointless in art world- are you calling someone who only has MA level education a Master? Then PhD a Doctor? Maybe your teacher's assistant is a Bachelor? "Bachelor Anderson, could you pass this to Master Smith, please?"
It's changing only recently because of generally laxer societal rules in adressing people and what is respectable way to do it. Doesn't matter in the long run. 40 years ago calling your teacher by their name just because they are older working artists would be unacceptable. They are not "just" that, which is why they teach.
It's a you issue if you percieve it as pretentious, not Becca's.

Her process is so backwards, but she's such a 'real artist' and 'professional'.

Many artists (especially ones with ADHD, I speak as one myself) tend to get obsessed with something and hyperfocus on it, sometimes for years. So it's very possible that's all it is. That's also tinfoil, but also likely.
It's also possible she kind of forced herself to latch onto "the little people" as a gimmick and pushes being "family friendly" so hard because she it's her "brand" and she wants to fit herself in that crowd.

Her types of videos don't need a dedicated video editor because they aren't complicated to edit and she's not on a rigorous video uploading schedule. It's literally just cutting out excess fluff (because she goes on and on and on and repeats shit that can be taken out to simplify whatever she's explaining) and making sure there's no issues with audio overlapping/cutting out too soon/missing (which is a very frequent issue in her videos). If she took the time to watch back her video even once she would be able to see all of these issues, but all she wants to do is immediately get them up and onto youtube for those sweet, sweet pennies (or maybe even none at all since her channel has been marked for kid's content). She's definitely a quantity over quality type of person and it shows not only in her videos but in all of her art too.
If shes highballed that number to gain sympathy, she just looks like a fucking idiot instead. It's literally the equivalent of walking into a store, handing over thousands of dollars, and getting a product that is
clearly fucked up or broken. Even if she made a mistake and meant to say $700, $70, even $7!! she still looks like a fucking idiot for paying any money to anyone for the final product that they give her.

Everytime she puts "support local artist/convention artist/webcomic artist/art educator/small business" shit I always feel she's just talking about herself.
I know Instagram stories aren't required to be aesthetically refined, but this is embarrassing to come from an "art educator." The texts are barely readable.

>>973178You don’t need to know anything about vectors to use a cricut, they COME with their own software and there’s tons of tutorials on YouTube from everyone that does either stickers or vinyl. Like Katnipp at least has two, it’s what her store uses for her planner stickers. She’s really just making excuses for her own failings at this point and now it might be too old at this point to sell it.
>>973136The thing about her selling the books for lower is not just shitty on her part to other artists cuz that was less than what the physical book cost during that Kickstarter (the book cost 40$ as a exclusive to Kickstarter, so 50 is reasonable) so she’s devaluing the art of like 200 other artists, many of whom also work in kids comics and satellite industries, but also cuz she’s eating into her OWN profit as well. Like often if you’ve contributed to a book, they’ll sell you copies at cost depending on your contracts so like, by selling it under MSRP for whatever reason (I suspect it’s cuz when she was doing cons like she has no confidence people will buy shit that isn’t priced as low as her 1$ commissions) she’s missing out on profit. It’s scummy on a lot of levels but also I find it hilarious she isn’t listed as a contributing artist anymore on it

>Assuming people care to know or would know what people in her personal life these characters are inspired by
>bragging about it taking 6 years to do 200 pages, as if that's an accomplishment

Like seriously Begga, get a fuckin grip on reality. Kids like stories that are easy to read and look at. She’s missing out on wha actually is happening in the market but won’t take anyone’s advice for it. And I swear she’s just good a SEO cuz she’s one of the first results for “watercolor comics” (In an incognito window) but also like, there’s a reason why most people don’t do watercolor comics.

>>977521watercolor comics definitely exist, obviously not as much as ink or digital, but they are definitely one of the more common mediums compared to any other type of paint, and certainly more than charcoal or 3d comics (even though those exist as well) but the comics that are in watercolor are usually light and airy (pic related by aiden koch), and don't have many layers, so it doesnt take as long. Becca makes everything so dark and insists on putting on tons of layers, not only making it muddy but also making it take way longer to wait for each layer to dry, especially since she went off on that kid about how she refuses to use a hair dryer.

>>977539Yeah I think it’s really a means of finding how they can work enough for you. I like this one cuz of the reasons you say, the washes lend a lot to the airy ness of the comic. I’ve cited Jill Thompson here before as an example of another watercolor comic artist too, she’s worked both in children’s books and in capes for years. She can be super bold and vibrant like this story she did for a hellboy/beasts of burden crossover, but it’s also all about being clear and maintaining a balance and not to mention as well, good watercolor and drawing skills. Becca acts as tho this kind of stuff doesn’t exist so I can’t wait to see her try to guilt people with a terrible Kickstarter video and it probably not reaching her goal or it being super low and the massive blowup she’ll have about it after

>>978397I’m adhd anon again and I totally know if she was asked this question IRL she would say she can’t multitask because of the ADHD because she uses it so much as an excuse. It’s harder to multitask than normal brains cuz in an adhd brain, it’s hard to delegate tasks by priority BUT it’s not impossible. It’s just the fact she works so inefficiently and without taking any guidance from others is the real setback, it’s not JUST the adhd but she uses it so much as a crutch and excuse instead of working WITH it and bettering herself.
Like yeah, what is really stopping her from doing more than one story? Or like, working on multiple pages at a time instead of one at a time, which is what I would do especially if it’s one scene so that you don’t have to continually mix colors like she does and have multiple washes. There’s so many better teachers out there about ADHD too like, she’s taking this whole thing about having it and making that her new senpai-persona since she can’t be anime senpai anymore.

And for comics, I find Adhd Alien kind of repetitive but her comics are clear enough for most people to relate to them.
Plus idk what Becca is talking about when she thinks she’s being adhd senpai to kids cuz there’s a lot of content for kids that aren’t neurotypical. Like that’s a big element of the Percy Jackson series, Rick riordan wrote them for his son who was adhd and dyslexic so they’re very popular with kids and how relatable they are for them

Becca’s entitlement is honestly incredible. In her mind, simply because it exists it deserves the attention she wants.

Like there have been dozens of books on how to market children’s books, which is what she IS making, but she’s either too thick to realize it’s a children’s book or like is too elitist cuz she thinks comics are higher art than children’s books. Suspecting the latter.
>>998617>>998627Her tutorials are also NOT useful? Like there’s dozens of much better, well produced and well scripted/edited/filmed tutorials on YouTube and she has nothing to make hers stand apart other than Kara.

>>998399A man already made Kara. It’s called The Secret World of Arietty. I watched it recently and it’s like she ripped off the character and entire plot of it or at least all the unoriginal tropes of small people, fearful parent and human friends.

her composition is infuriating why is kara looking up out of the frame and then looking down also out o the frame? you want to draw the viewer's eye to the center of attention which is the room, and kara is looking in the exact opposite direction she should be in each panel she's in. also the cat(or is it that?) looks like fat little flies and naomi looks like a huge splotch of muddy colors

>>1002923All these years of drawing Kara and her coloring still looks like something out of a children's activity book.
Becca, honey, I know you're a starving beggar artist but please invest in decent-quality watercolor paper for your serious project. I know it's 'economical' to paint your longrunning, deeply personal magnum opus on the cheapest paper available, but your water control just isn't good enough to settle for the cheap stuff. Your artwork would look marginally more viewable if you let a better quality paper do some of the heavy lifting.
Everyone who knows anything about the medium knows that image quality can be made or broken through the quality of the paper. After paint itself, that's the one material you should never skimp on if you want your artwork to look its best. Cellulose paper is fine for experimentation and swatching but she should at least aim higher for her monitized project. Or at least use an affordable full rag paper. Even a cotton/cellulose blend would be fine.
Ideally, Becca would save herself loads of money and just go digital with a pseudo-traditional style. But we all know she won't do that.
No. 1003097
>>999621I finally figured out why her art is so flat, her lines have no weight and don't incorporate light and shadow at all.
Becca we know you're reading: stop drawing just outlines and add some shadows to your sketches.
No. 1003502
>>1003097She relies on the painting to do the “shading” for her rather than line weight but isn’t good at that since she doesn’t factor in things like value or mood or tone into her painting at all. She tends to just make up a local color palette and goes at it rather than like, thinking of a color palette and sticking to that. She also doesn’t have a sense of light and shadow like you said, everything is colored rather arbitrarily rather than having a consistent lighting
But I also do think her lines are super flat because she has no understanding or anatomy of volume, you can see it with the “lion” drawing but also any of her sketches cuz she draws on top of circles but doesn’t understand what they represent. That’s why the lion’s body is a bean and not like, a rib cage and pelvis with muscles on top of them.
>>1002930I super agree, she uses the shittiest paper and it sometimes feels like she doesn’t know how to stretch watercolor paper cuz of how terrible the paints look on top of them. She’s a supplies collector like baylee Jae so it doesn’t surprise me she’s more focused on the paints and other supplies she acquires then cheaps out on the paper. Like an Arches block is more expensive than a cheap cellulose paper but there’s videos on YouTube from actual career watercolorists comparing how paints work on them and it’s a real big difference (like this makkocino video is real simple about it
https://youtu.be/xUhBdNKf10c)
But agreed, her digital stuff someone uncovered was decent, if she let herself experiment rather than like be locked into this idea she’s a watercolor painter, she could find a medium. Especially with comics, it isn’t about the art quality necessarily, it’s about storytelling and speed and she has neither.
>>1002923This page is super fucking confusing cuz yeah, there’s no transition from when she’s on the cat (I THINK that’s her cuz it’s hard to tell with the dress blending in with the floor), looking up then like magically ending up on some sort of ledge? Like I guess she’s trying to do the thing in animation where a character runs around fast in one area while talking but like, I didn’t even realize the brown splotches are supposed to be anything? She doesn’t do any visual effects and it’s blotchy AF while the shapes are not visually anything except boxes, so it doesnt make sense and it’s not clear at all. You can also see how “precious” she is about the watercolor since that first word bubble is super small (and would get cropped out by the printing bleed, she doesn’t factor in print in her paintings either) and there’s so much weird unused empty spaces.
Plus the door switches sides?

Don't forget that this is AN ALL AGES WATERCOLOR COMIC. As in, it's a comic for ALL AGES drawn in beyuuuutiful[citation needed] WATERCOLOR.
I get that this is a marketing tactic on her part, but Becca's so damn graceless and hamfisted with everything she does.
>>1004860This is the crux of Becca's problem. She acts like she deserves things just because she's "given back". No, Becca, you're not automatically entitled to people's time and money just because you gave a little bit of yours years ago. She really makes it sound like she only does things for others if something is in it for her. I bet if she actually had a dedicated audience and made it like she desperately wants to she'd be worse than Holly.
No. 1004902
>>1004860Well this is a fairly bold statement to everyone she's ever signal boosted to give her a quid pro quo, whether they'd agreed to it or not.
Despite her presumptuousness I kind of feel bad for her because I feel like she's letting herself in for a big letdown if her KS doesn't get funded. But still, "support me because I supported other people" isn't the greatest sales line I've ever heard.

Becca thinks she's so special but in reality she's the same as everyone else in this dog-eat-dog art world, it's just unfortunate because she's fucking awful at marketing herself (guilt tripping is not good marketing!!). She hasn't even been able to find a dedicated niche audience for her comic because it's stale and awful. It's not because its some kid lit shit that it gets almost no views, it just sucks. Kids have access to the whole ass internet now, why the fuck would they want to read some muddy ass shit like Kara?

>>1005594It’s up to 20 now. I’m honestly shocked by this considering literally no one has interacted with her Twitter about it the last few days of her promoting it. To my knowledge, I haven’t seen people bombarding her with messages of support and backing it.

Her sense of colors is the worst. This looks overworked and unfinished at the same time.
No. 1005792
>>1005776Not that anon but this would be a 'cute drawing' if some teenager/highschooler did it
Here's just a list of basic art rules she got wrong:
Where's the light source? Each item seems to have it's own
Obvious perspective mistakes on the cake and the decorations being too sloppy for such a neatly decorated cake.
If the stand that Kara is on is the same as the one the cake is on and the cake is closer to the camera why is the closer stand's trim smaller on the page than the further one?
Tangents all over the place but mainly the cat's head and the girl's elbow
The layout has too much empty space and could have utilized the rule of thirds but ignores it. Both above and below Kara have nothing that draws the eye.
There's also the usual garbage anatomy that most beginners can do better than. If you can explain to me how a cat's skeleton would fit in that blob with eyes and a tail then maybe i could see it as a nitpick but for someone trying to get their book printed and has been working on this comic for years?
These critiques are more 'nitpick' but: Why is the icing white on the outside but pink on the inside? Why are the strawberries either not on the same plane as the icing or are completely haphazardly placed on top of the cake? How come the character has a piece of cake on their fork but their slice of cake is pristine? Why is kara's cake for herself bigger than her torso and how is she gonna eat it? What is going on with the large pitcher/kettle's shape?
I could go on but these are basic things that even an average person would be able to see arent right
Becca refuses to do minimum referencing/research and ignores basic things because she's too busy drooling over getting to use her precious watercolors so the base drawing gets neglected.

No. 1005800
>>1005772- and why is the strawberry on the girl's fork so much smaller then the ones on the cake like even taking perspective into consideration, its still way too small compared to the ones in the foreground. Also kara's cake is a completely different cake and their outfits dont match so it ends up feeling like 2 different pieces frankensteined into one.
- the cake looks both flat and mishappened cause she didnt shadow the left part and it looks like she didnt know how to draw a cylinder
- that spout on the teapot(?) doesnt look connected to the teapot and instead looks like its connected to the teacup
- also did she not plan the coloring for the cake whatsoever cause it looks like its not iced since both the inside and outside are cream colored but theres a random magical jam lining

No. 1009186
>>1008826>>1008878This is where I feel she has no idea nor has any friends who actually work in comics. Like if it takes her 3-4 hours to do ROUGH pencils, she’s not working efficiently nor in a way that makes her appealing to be published. These are all problems that can be solved at the thumbnail stage, like she clearly doesn’t plot or script out where her script is going to go and like what is going to get covered up with word bubbles. She passes over her pencils like they’re going to be full illustrations, which she treats them as, not like an actual comic cuz a person reading one isn’t going to pore over the page for more than a minute so you have to be clear on what the heck is going on. She is none of that.
Plus she’s going to be sorely disappointed that like, most publishers will not print a full on book like this, she’s going to have to redo it to fit any publishers formats and I bet most of them won’t accept a pitch that’s like “it’s taken me ten years to half finish a book”. If she had any friends who actually worked in publishing, I’d bet they’d have told her this by now but frankly I think she’s too stubborn and foolish to accept she just can’t waste her life doing ONE magnum opus
No. 1009331
I just checked her Patreon and Kickstarter, and as expected, she's not doing good, and she complained about people not supporting her multiple times.
I know she says it's an ALL AGE comic book, but it looks and feels like the target audience is 7-13 years. Of course people, online, who make their own money, usually 18+, aren't interested in that, she's completely delusional to think otherwise. Even if they were, not in a poorly drawn, boring one like this one.
Not to mention she way too long to complete her work. I honestly feel bad for her, that she can't see that her work is not bearing any fruit and she's just wasting her time not at least trying to do ANYTHING else. I hope her husband got $$$, because she's not going to make shit unless she realizes that this isn't going anywhere.
Truly the most delusional artist out there.

She would probably do better if she just said 'this is a comic I've been working on and I'd like help getting it printed and I would like to continue being able to work on it' but she keeps acting like her shitty passion project is this grand teaching tool that's a gift to mankind and will fix every problem in the world.

>>1009624I mean that’s what patreon is for rather than KS. KS is to make a product, like a printed collection like this one, but ongoing support is more patreon’s thing. However, her patreon is a jumbled mess of whatever the fuck she’s doing
https://www.patreon.com/Nattosoup she thinks she’s an art educator and everything is just related to like, her “instruction” and the discord so that drags her down a LOT especially since none of them mention her comic. Like she’d probably make more if she wasn’t so gung ho about being an “instructor” cuz that’s usually not what people sign up on patreon for, especially cuz she just releases the videos on YT anyway and her art is real bad. What makes HER so appealing vs the many other artists who are on patreon too? She doesn’t even know that.
Plus she has way too many tiers and I’m also dying laughing at this ten dollar one with the commissions discounts. Like, ffs Becca you sell commissions for a DOLLAR at cons like, have some self respect and stop charging yourself below poverty rates especially when you’re telling people they can get discounts if they pay you more monthly for what you charge

She's lucky she's selling to clueless parents because I doubt many little girls are into this artstyle, little girls are shallow.
I know I would have never picked up a comic like this from artstyle alone, if I could pick and wasn't stuck with whatever my family gifted me. I wanted to at least look at cute appealing characters if the story wasn't engaging enough. I wouldn't be surprised if kids who read this do because they have been gifted this by a family member and have no other choice or keep the comics around but never actually read them

>>1013751She said she didn't mention the wedding much because she couldn't invite many people and didn't want people who know her feel left out. Who cares? They would find out one way of the other, and if they didn't understand keeping it small during a pandemic of all things (why she chose to do this when most weddings are being cancelled is beyond me) it's their problem.
The sad thing about all of this is that I don't think the wedding was in her mind much, in the vlog she sounds like she just wanted to get it over with, which makes sense with rushing it during a pandemic instead of waiting another year to have a good wedding. She's extremely fortunate of marrying someone so supportive yet all she can think about to the last minute is Kara and the kickstarter.
