Sonichy Chris chan demonstration.

Based on the previous thread:
>>7975885

And for thous who see this picture this can be the
>OOOOOH
Moment to get it since christ chan draws like shit yet he drew this.

However this is the deep dive into the subject.
I am trash myself however after YEAR of orbiting he art community these are the truths no one did spoke about and if they did they got shut down by these le pro artists who will literally lie to your face and twist the truth so hard it is unreal.

This was true for 2000-2020 before AI maybe artists now cooled down because AI is the new threat. However this truth was suppressed either by pros who did not want others to get their crazy skills, by seething upcoming pros, by buck broken no skills who repeated this as the words of god and basically buck broken non artists in some toxic cycle.

The answer why this was suppressed is simple and resembles hunter x hunters SECRET hunter exam if you did see it in the manga and anime is simple imagine you learned the secret of making any picture perfectly. Now why would you want others to learn it? This was enforced by the ones who learned the secret on their own from years of bullshit so why the fuck are you getting it for free if they wasted years of their life before finding it out on their own in all these lies?

And them having this god like status of magically creating all this good art!

I consider this fact however maybe some ultra pro who drew like I say for 20 years has the muscle memory to do it blind however lets forget this this will improve your art drastically in short time and is proven by me having a folder named
>I AM TOTALLY NOT A TRACER
Where the same artists basically traces their won art to make a small hair change and farts this out as another art peace.

And my technique is proven by chris chan to work.

I try to illustrate with pictures.

Level -1. "trace like on 4chan"

This is simple.
In the computer.
Get any photography from the internet or you made etc.
Open GIMP or Photoshop/
Place the picture in the background and make the foreground layer a transparent one.

Simply trace the directly race the lines of the picture.

Congratulations if you can do this you can draw anything and advance to the next level. If not. Sorry people with crippling mental or motor disabilities can not progress.

This is not for everyone.

However I expect that most you will find no problem in this tracing and feel comfortable how good you are to level up to the real level.

You notice that -1 is a negative level that should be abandoned and produces ugly meme söy jacks.

This is why you need to advance and not trace like on 4chan. This was also a popular thing to do in the 2000s on 4chan and some below average web comic artists did it for the meme status.

Where it is traced from and proof

Level 0
Paint like George W Bush

Level 1 paint like Hitler.

I put them together because they are the same technique however Bush is very bad while Hitler is good.

Hitler is nothing special and his art would be forgotten if not for his war however you wish you can paint like him.

Bush is bad(Level 0) and makes mistakes however I you can get to this level and improve to the Hitler(Level 1) level if you practice enough.

Others made analysis where Hitler made mistakes in his paintings and the perspective is illogical however most people will not notice that however this is something to improve.

So how is this done?
Unlike in 4chan tracing where you move directly with every line you need to sit down still and do the artists extends his hand and measures with a pencil thing you have seen in movies probobly.

This is why the title is PAINT not draw.
You very fast can learn this if you search
>How do I paint?
Not
>How do I draw?

There are things to this like using a grid method and transferring your picture from the internet to paper.

And this is what art was art is literally camera 0.1 before cameras existed. People paid an artist or painter to make a portrait of them where they stand still and the painter uses this medieval tracing technique because photography did not exist.

You also find lolzy things in old art like flying horses because people do not know how horses work since they did not have cameras to record them mid gallop(this is a real thing and why the first movie was made) after photography things changed.

You in 2026 are expected to download some pictures from the internet and trace like a painter that picture.

You write like a thirdie, but I like the idea of picking a retarded artist and showing people how they can beat that retard at their own game. Much more heartening than "here's what I do, you won't be anywhere near this good for five years." So I'll keep an eye on this. Maybe Hitler is too big of a step up from George Bush.

Also lots of people over analyze Hitler and why there are no humans in his pictures (did he dream of genociding the world?????) the truth is simple Hitler can not get free pictures from the internet in 1919 or whatever. He has no money (starving artist Mein Kampf says so) to hire these actors or whatever you see posing nude etc in art schools and buildings stand still and do not move.

This is is.

So he traced like a painter buildings to make art. In 2026 with the internet and photos you can trace photos.

This is it.
Get a photo of something and trace it like a painter. It requires minimal skill and you learn it fast.

This is what you should be doing instead of making another cope filled thread why the art community is laying to you. Like this one did:
>>7975885

>ULTIMATE FINAL PROOF THAT JUST DRAW WILL NOT WORK!
>ART COMMUNITY EXPOSED!

And yes what you are doing is tracing.
All these ultra hyper realistic charcoal drawings or whatever?
literally tracing.
>NOO REEE
Dude I have seen a tutorial of them they literally do it like this
1) Take a photo that is very good
2) Make a grid on the photo
3) Make a grid on your paper
4) Using the grid transfer this photo into a physical medium.

Welcome to the lie filled world of art!

Also I have seen Dobson be accused of tracing when they found the reference material he used of a guy taking off his shirt or something and lost their mind.

Imaigne living in this toxic world
>HAHAHA I build my worldview on hating Dobson HAHAHA dobson is shit HAHAHA he traces HAHAHAHA
>Why can I not draw?

You are literally oppressing yourself.
And this brings us to the OP picture see chris chan.

This cover is traced either 4chan in the computer, using a light box to trace it like in the old days or traced like a painter. See how he improved? See the difference between tracing and not tracing?

So the answer is TRACE trace in the right way! like a painter not like on 4chan!

These are the famous people that you can look up and see the difference.

>Maybe
I do not know look at the picture >>7977753

Can you trace it like on 4chan?
Can you trace it like a painter?

Forget the colors only try the shapes. Like DO THIS!

Yes there is skill more skill then
>Literally never deviate from the line you are tracing
in 4chan trace.

PS:
More on Hitler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8q4-VSrdQ4

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paintings_by_Adolf_Hitler

Also look at George W Bush and how he improved he drew like shit. Can you do better or the same?

You should look up to that and how you can improve from this since this is what mistakes he made.

>Maybe Hitler
The point is you can look up Hitler and his art in 2026 now.
Unlike starving forgotten German artists #3463 from 1903

>Maybe Hitler is too big of a step up from George Bush.
You should look more on Bush since he traces photos from Time magazine etc while making massive mistakes.

>Maybe Hitler is too big of a step up from George Bush.
It uses the same technique.
"Trace like a painter" it is not that hard like explained before.

What this thread is, it is my journey and the years I wasted in all these lies of the art community.

The truth is ALL OF IT IS TRACING it is tracing because some art snob or low level pro will accuse you of TRACING and
>THAT IS NOT USING A REFERENCE YOU ARE TRACING!
And will literally mold over this. Also Dobson hatedom is not helping since this is a great example of irrational double standard of hate and anyone who took this to hard
>HA HA Dobson bad Dobson traced this picture HA HA HA

Has poisoned themselves with the anti-tracing toxin.

Now time for the finally.

>b-b-b-b If I trace I can not create anything new like a new manga panel!
>I can only steal from reality!
CORECT!

This is why for decades and since the beginning of time art/painting was not considered legitimate artists where stealing from nature/god. Real argument!

So how did the old masters do it?
Simple they payed actors to stand still in various poses for hours while they traced like a painter these static people as best as they can.

This is it.
If you look at them there are strange things there like the cloth making no sense or the babies with the face of a 60 year old man.

My theory is that the 60 year old baby face is basically these artists literally not having pictures of babies and not having access to a real life baby so they paint/trace some old guy and are finished.

Only people who are not rich can not afford to hire actors to stand still for them .... this stooped new artists from showing up.

However I think my picture did help you. There is another way other then painter-tracing actors. Use these dolls or one of these programs that lets you post 3D models and trace that photo.

Why the fuck do you think they are all over the place in art stores? THIS IS THE SECRET HUNTER EXAM!

Yes you will need to find a way to force the result into an art style however you get the perspective perfect especially if you use 3D programs.

On a side note did you ever look at 1920s comic books? You know superman etc?
Ever noticed how there is almost never any background and the characters look like they are in these stiff poses?

Because the artists traced these dolls they did buy or make themselves. Hanging on strings or something presumably.

As for other tracing that got exposed.

The strange lord of the rings cartoon = terrible tracing.
1980s he-man you can see the traced actors in these strange poses however it is OK.

Disney Alice and Snow white you can not see it however they literally filed actors and traced them.

Can you try using some commas? Your shit is almost illegible at times.

There are also examples of Disney tracing like they trace-trace their own old movies.

However if a mega corporation does it then it is koshar or something.

Final thoughts:

Remember the main goal here should be draw 11 pictures and EXPERIMENT.

>Hmm this is not working
Let me try this.

EXPERIMENT EXPERIMENT EXPERIMENT!
This is is the key here not doodling like chris chan every day this will not magically make you better, however drawing in a given technique 11 times is.

I always interpreted the
>JUST DRAW
Meme totally different from >>7975885

I understood it to not to mean
>Draw the same shit in the same way every day and magically you will improve
There is little chance of that however a possibility.

I interpreted it to mean:
>Hey guys I did buy the fèèmetismo pro pencils do you think I should use the Harambo acid free hot pressed paper or do I use the zemotshi 8000 grain acid paper to draw?
JUST DRAW! DUDE!
>[spends 4h on facebook arguments over art supplies]
>[never draws anything]
>[buys more supplies]
>[repeats]

JUST DRAW! DUDE!
>[another day another 8h spent on a facebook argument over art supplies and drawing]
>[never draws anything]
JUST DRAW! DUDE!

Basically related to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_pZBRJAi8Y

This is how I interpreted the meme, maybe a wojak meme picture or comic will better express my interpretation of this saying.

How did others interpret it?

THE END. [FIN]

PS: Check out this 1939 (or whatever) superman comic and notice the problems.

>Last panel
>Characters exist in a yellow void
>Lois is looking at the wall and does not have Clark in her vision while talking to him.
>Clark only sees Lois in the corner of his eye

Another example the tables
If you notice the only possibility of this to be a real scene in a real office is if her desk is literally 60 cm (that is 2 feet!) elevated above his desk.

They clearly Frankenstein reference images like it is CTRL ALT DEL copy past and simply did a lol yolo on how perspective or a office looks like.

This is why the characters exist in a yellow void if the artist did not feel like drawing anything.

And what is even going on with the door and his desk?
Does his desk cover 30% of the entrance to the office?

And is the yellow void the wall? How is he existing relative to the wall?

Do not get black pilled form people criticizing you art. people in the 1930s making comics did not have CGI to trace so this is how they coped.
