If true then how does one know what is too immature for one to draw at his age and what is fine to draw?
>>7823920Dunno nigga, ask Disney pros
>>7828014This, don Rosa is a carl barks fan boy
>>7826448>I feel old to draw edgy OCsI think the crux is less that something is too childish to draw, but that you can approach it with too much immaturity. It's not cringe because it's an edgy OC, it's cringe because it's an adult with a child's worldview on what counts as edgy. Like how you can spot incels by how comically overglorified their approach sexual content is.You can draw pictures of your favorite anime character all you want, but if you start writing barely comprehensible self-insert fan fiction about it, people should rightly start to question your mental health.
>>7825114What does it mean to be "mature"?
No... Consider that adults are the ones who have to make childhood entertainment.

>>7825468Longer face/thicker jaw if you're not willing to shorten the hair, but reference of thinner males, both stylized and IRL, so that you can see how to apply proper sexual dimorphism to your figure would also help as well.
>>7825468Ditch the big anime girl eyes for one. Its making him look female the most. Also study people who draw really attractive males and compare them to what you're drawing.
>>7825468the size of the eyes, thickness of the neck, slope of the forehead and size of the mouth relative to the jaw are whats making it read as female.
>>7817511Try using perspective rulers , grids, and designing repeating elements such as railings and windows in flat view and then warping to make the spacing consistent. His clothing and figure is a bit awkward as well, so I can tell that you mostly do portraits
You have 25 seconds to convince me this is anything more than a picture of a girl, deserving no more attention or study than any other portrait of any other girl. (or woman.)
>>7827018>prejudiceThat's literally why this picture is held in such high regards. It was painted by a famous person(Leonardo da Vinci), therefore holds higher value in the minds of the masses.Had it been painted by a unknown and manage to survive to modern age, it would just be another renaissance painting.
Idk I thought it was called the Moana Lisa for a while which I found rather funny
>>7827005Thats actually a self portrait of davinci the way he saw his true inward self. Thats why, davinci was trans. This is why this work is so important today.
ML mogs it's contemporaries. If you can't tell, your eyes are fucked, your taste is trash, or you are just being contrarian (likely the case, when the art world and 4chang combine their enourmous retard levels)
>>7827308I guess most will know the raft by Gericault and the Venus de Milo or the Nike of Samothrace but might not know theyre in the Louvre.
I know my art is good when it makes me hard enough, my boner is the best critic
>>7825816And if you keep drawing then you'll be able to consistently do good work.
That's unironically based, this is the one feedback that really matters.

>>7828612I have adverse feelings about this image
Why did this kind of painterly, pulpy fantasy style just completely disappear? It exists from time to time in MtG cards but even those feel different.
>>7828467Changes in taste and style, though trends are often somewhat circular, so I suspect the overly simplified vector-ish art that's been popular as of recent will become less so, and we'll see a return of more detailed work that leans toward the more realistic.However, AI throws a wrench in this circular system - a lot of AI images have a greasy realistic look to them, so I wouldn't be surprised if art trends lean more abstract because of this.
>>7828467Went from trad to digital is real answer.
>>7828512Why is simple & digital art more popular?
>>7828564because its quicker, easier and better food for the content monster
>>7828564What the anon above said, but also a lot of illustrations are made by graphic designers who have no drawing ability, so they're doing the best they can with the tools they know (vector) to do their illustrations, and usually within a strict deadline.This is the main cause for the 'globohomo' style everyone loath these days; big tech billion dollar companies being too cheap to just hire an illustrator.And through exposure, this style sort of gains an appreciation, so actual illustrators (talented and untalented) pick up aspects of it, or take it on full hog.

>>7828440You can never truly delete them, not easily anyway. The brush tip and textures are still in the materials database. CSP really needs a "cleanup" button that wipes unused textures/tips from the DB.
Here's TA PEN https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=2230753aHR0cHM6Ly9waXhlbGRyYWluLmNvbS91L01UZ1llcEJi >>7828440I've never noticed CSP startup taking any longer after importing hundreds of brushes compared to a fresh install on my system.Someone correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't CSP only load the last used brush on startup and subsequent ones from your drive onto memory after selecting them? I always assumed the slight lag when selecting new brushes on fresh startup was because of this.As for cleaning house you should first delete the brushes from your folder then go to Image Material>Brush select all(Shift+Left-Click top to bottom) and press delete and be sure to do it inside of CLIP STUDIO PAINT not CLIP STUDIO or you're not gonna have the prompt that asks you to save in-use materials for brushes and you'll end up deleting everything lol.It'll be annoying and take a while to search for unused materials and you're gonna have to click "No" a bunch of times if you have a large library(crazy that there isn't a "No to all" option yet).
>>7828538Nta. I've been hoarding too much and my Celsys folder was around 170gb so been purging backup brush tools in the mats these last few days. It takes about 10 or 15 minutes for CSP to start up, lol. I think I'm down a couple dozen gigs after binning about 10k brush tools but still in the realm of 120gb.But yeah it's miserable to purge. I'm doing the purging on a backup so I'm wondering if I should just export the brushes I do use regularly and start a fresh Celsys folder.
>>7828538Not the same anon, but adding that selecting the keyword "Created material" helps showing only downloaded/externally installed textures/tips, in case you don't want to remove default resources.And something that really helps on the long run is moving out from the folder the tips/textures that are on use and put them together with the brush itself.

Paypal has applied to be a bank. If it goes through, your account won’t get nuked for nsfw art anymore

Are there any reliable ways of getting paid as a freelance artist without having to divulge your identity to clients? I'm fine with letting the platform itself know obviously, just not every single person that commissions me (I'm doing SFW art) I've read some articles claiming you can do it with Gumroad but I don't see any artists I follow actually using it that way so I'm skeptical
>>7828279patreon, open a tier that is "one time purchase" only and use that to sell commissions. On your side: clients make the payment to patreon, not you, so they can't later refund the shit, and once patreon take their part, they leave the money open for you to retire. On the client side: they are paying to patreon, so in their payment info it only says that is made to "patreon blablabla-patreon_page_name_", not your paypal email, not your real name, only your patreon page name, so they cant even know your email. Is the best option, only downside is that patreon will take their part. All of the other options... you must research that yourself because each country has his own things. In most of them paypal is the norm and they will see your email and real name if its a normal account, with a pro account i dont remember, i think they can't see your real name yes, but they will see your email. For SFW only faggots care of identity because you want the most people to know you and if they can associate your art to your iamge is even more money, unless you dont want to pay your taxes. For nsfw it's only somewhat understandable specially for people that are making illegal shit, but most people use PayPal anyway.So if you want the ultimate solution, Patreon, with one-time purchases, is the "shop" option they offer. This way, they only pay for one product (in this case, one commission) and they don't pay a subscription fee.
>>7828279>seller refuse to disclose their identityThis will open a floodgate for scammers and frauds. Businesses will have to reveal their identity in order to hold them accountable.
>>7828279i don't think USD country clients are willing to do transaction with some anonymous painter dude lmao
>>7828279I assume most middleman services like vgen or skeb don't give out your name
>>7828403Given the amount of twitter commissions go wrong, I don't think that's true.
