just from personal anecdotes, it seems like women are much better at drawing cute characters and having cute art styles than men
i think it has to do with multiple things, women having a better eye for cute things, their maternal instinct, and not needing to worry or think about sexual appeal when drawing women, of course a woman can be cute and sexy, but its very hard to balance the two, and a man trying to draw a sexy woman will focus much less on making her cute
of course, not every female has a cute art style, there are those tumblr women that have absolutely grotesque art styles, but thats mainly because the women who draw with these styles are ugly, and either hate beauty or have an extremely warped perception of it
an example is fiddleafox and her character averi. Extremely cute character and art style, with tons of fanart, though this fanart is mainly by males, and i don't think any of the fanart is as cute as the source
what do you think?

I'm a storyteller at heart so no, I'm after validation full stop. But it's not validation in the sense of seeing numbers go up or being told I'm God's Gift to the art world. It's the validation you get when an autist obsesses over the fictional world you've created, when you can see the back of their eyes light up when they discuss your work. That's what we train for, baby.

Does anyone here know how to paint like this? Most people say they masturbate looking at this. I just want to paint the line drawing, it's easy but the colors are pissing me off.

Ok what's going on guys, call me crazy but I see textbook gatekeeping around art forums (here, lelddit, facecuck, etc etc) every day, telling people that "You lack this, you lack that, study more" meanwhile I see sad cucks who spent more than 10 years studying anmation and even working on the industry, with a short that took them YEARS that doesn't even has 100k views, yet a random 40sec clip of I CANT SLEEP that is 3 drawings and some sound effects has a million views or even that fucking Skibidi thing.
Yes, people are looking to improve their art, but why it is never "enough" for the art community? while straight up mediocre art gets all the attention, popularity and money right now, that some BEG could be getting already if he wasn't being convinced every day that he's still "not good enough"

We SHOULD live in a meritocracy of art
We LIVE in a democracy of art
That's sad, but what's sadder is that we live in a subset of democracy of art, in a populism democracy of art
Because a democracy includes all people, including the retards, but in populism the retards actively fight the cultured, scientific part.
In the case of art, the experts and technique are demoted in favour of expressions and personal emotions.
That's my take on it, unless you actually wanted to talk about AI and how AI is for "everyone"? In which case kill yourself and don't come back even as zombie

>populism the retards actively fight the cultured, scientific part.
it's easy to be smug against "populism" if you think yourself as a consul of Rome. But in practice populism is a good thing - once again. That "cultured", "scientific" art, like the one Proko and Watt's institute produce, is utter soulless and thoughtless boring trash, barely better than xeroxing. However, at least, it requires skill, unless those copy-women.

Has anyone experimented with Mike Mentzer style heavy duty training, except with drawing? One really intense drawing session, every 4-7 days, might be all you need to improve indefinitely. What would that "intense" drawing session look like? What does "drawing to failure" look like? Copy 5 bridgman plates, then redraw all 5 from memory?

To be fair, mental training actually does have some similarities to physical training apparently. You actually do better with focused learning broken up by rest periods for your mind to "digest" the information. I've read that you can study far more effectively by breaking your studies into shorter sessions where you're concentrating fully rather than marathon sessions. If you think about it, your mind has a limited daily capacity for work just like your muscles do. Quality R&R is just as important as quality exercise.

It's a really common occurrence for artists to stop drawing for a little while (like a week or even a month) and then after starting again are surprised to feel as if they are doing better than they were before they stopped. I've experienced this phenomenon myself a lot, and very consistently. I have ADHD and bipolar 2 meaning I would periodically enter hypomanic states that lead to intense hyperfocus due to my ADHD, then often when the depressive states hit I would stop drawing for a little while, and due to that I actually saw pretty steady improvement despite rarely ever doing anything but just drawing whatever I was interested in at the time, not very much real focused studying or anything of the sort. I think that this is a pretty solid idea, OP.

yeah, JM being one of the best examples of what you can achieve with a sheer lack of any morals, just mindblowing. At some point it stops being coom art and transforms into something like HR Giger on meth and fentanyl showcasing the absolute brutality of human nature, and the most interesting part, the violence in his works is reflected in human history, don't forget that for the last couple hundreds of years eating kids was something normal in Africa, Humans can easily reach the lowest that you can imagine, even worse things that fiction shows you, and JM shows it

I strongly dislike this painting. Not because it's badly drawn or anything but because it shows how ugly people can be to each other.
Not only we're they hung, but according to this painting they were also castrated, cut open and their fingers are missing. The mob even killed their cat. We can only hope that they were gutted post mortem.

Fire Punch's a lot better than anything else that Fujimoto made including his one shots but FP is too divisive, plenty of readers get filtered by it no matter their political leaning.
Chuds call it woke because of that troon and Wokes call it cynical because it's a work that make fun of humanity's worst.
Fire Punch is Fujimoto unfiltered and his true masterpiece, not Chainsaw Man Part 1 or 2, Look Back, Goodbye Eri, Nayuta, Just Listen to the Music and all his other one shots, they're good but not FP good.
