Regularly check artist feed for new work
It's a retweet of a picture

Person in a hospital bed, looks like a woman. On a whim give it a look. Artist of a comic, thanks everyone for supporting but admits that they have been hiding declining health. This is the point of no return. They will not be able to do art again, and the best case scenario is just indefinite hiatus. Things will not get better and only worse for them.

I checked out the artist page it's pretty hot juicy ass and bodies. But so morbid after the arousal completely gone. It was basically that's enough Internet for the day moment. That was like two days ago.

Artist does foot fetish
Makes OC foot fetish girl as a vehicle for his comic
Comic is still heavily feet centered
The story gets a little deeper
Then the foot fetiah takes less of a back seet
MC is still a girl with big feet and very loose sandals
Artist suddenly starts defending "my character big feet has nothing to do with the foot fetish" to "I never did foot fetish" scrubs everything before a certain point.

I know exactly who you're talking about.

I'm never sure how I feel about this stuff. Like, I get being nervous about normal people finding the fetishy stuff, but sometimes you just gotta own it.

One of the reasons I love Dave Cooper's art so much is how he's definitely not shy about his fetishes in his art.

What drives them to delete everything? Don't they realize the real fun they had is making exactly the stuff they wanted to do in the first place?

I swear this keep happening to me. Artists keep disappearing into their gated communities and I have no interest in following them into their circlejerk.

>>151999486
Honestly? Target the hyperspecific fetishists that border on mentally ill. You don't even need to be particularly good at art to get money from them.
Things like transformation art, extreme bondage, vore of most kinds, extreme race play shit, sissy shit, etc etc.

>>152000806

First step is to find something that you are passionate about, I never did any of that 'draw a box' garbage. The second you start making art a pain for yourself, the easier it is to skip out on practice sessions.

I collected multiple pictures of sexy ladies as references and repeatedly drew over them in photoshop to approximate average limb lengths and hand sizes relative to the rest of the body. If you have trouble with a certain bodypart, just trace over it repeatedly and eventually your mind will figure out what the pattern is. The other purpose of tracing is to build line confidence and work on your line weight. The sooner you stop chicken scratching the better, as old habits are hard to quit. Then you stop tracing because you don't need that crutch anymore.

What you do then if you have any mistakes on a fully rendered piece is start getting really good with the liquify tool. You can liquify too much, so this is something that is to be used sparingly.

Improving on coloring is a bit trickier. It depends on what art program you are using. When blending colors, you might have to use a combination of multiply layers, smudge tools, and potentially the blur tool. This is only really an issue when you are trying to break out of Cel shading and want to do pieces with more refined ambient lighting

you don't necessarily need to practice to get better, the main thing that increases skill is the understanding of fundamentals taught in books.
as this anon mentioned >>152003550 don't be like those faggots that draw hundreds of boxes, that won't get you anywhere, as long as you know how to translate three dimensional objects and shapes into two dimensions and understand the basics of pictorial composition, tonal values, and human anatomy, you'll be good.
if you're serious about improving, i highly recommend reading an old set of books called the famous artists course, it's available for free online if you look it up, they basically teach everything there is to know about drawing.

I've had this happen to me a few times. Definitely preferable to an artist just dropping off the face of the earth, though.

Honestly that's also preferable to the more analogous situation of an artist you like acquiring or starting to hyperfocus on a fetish you don't have or like
