Eh, it's not like he's making other people's lives worse, or doing anything bad, I'd even say he's less annoying then a lot of non-sperg artists. The constant mental health spirals and deleting all his content and changing names is annoying for following his work though.

But seriously just think about biggest shapes and block them, than look wich directions they flow. Next you can refine them in smaller shapes and at last you go for details and maybe rendering.

Welcome back, Stan Prokopenko
Jokes aside, for me it’s gathering inspiration, I draw a lot of OCs and characters from stuff I like so that makes me want to draw them doing stuff, that’s how I do at least, with time this will become natural. Why don’t you start drawing characters from a book you like based on descriptions?

Sometimes it's better to not draw.

Recommending you invert the colors on your references, especially when working from a screen. It burns the image into the retina correctly when you are studying line work.(google Jesus illusion if you need the effect explained)
Last tip, keep an old out of date computer/phone entirely for references. Set it to factory default and never connect it to the internet. Use only a flash drive of reference images to move media to said internetless out of date computer.
I have done this with an old Macbook. I actually got the idea from the battlestation threads and from visiting an online friend IRL who was a a digital artist and did the same.

Trolling or serious? You're treating your references like they're worth a million dollars or something.

whats your process for coloring night/atmoshpheric scenes with different colors affecting the environment/ background.

I see some people putting on a filter, ie blue filter for night, whereas others draw the colors themselves, understanding how they would react, and while it may not technically be right, it often looks better, ie characters not being affected as much as the background to stand out more

>>
As with everything. It depends entirely on what your goal is. Slapping a filter on causes a kind of flattening but quickly developed a colordpace and pallete for you, which you can touch up and refine. It's a lot faster and a more typical digital workflow. People who paint all the colors themselves based off their knowledge of material properties and color theory, might do so because like you said, they want to have more control over certain aspects of the image, or just don't want to use a typical digital workflow. What matters most is what you want your painting to indicate with its mood.

completely different lineweight and character design, not deep or meant to be as deep as vewn. its obviously more of a "haha this type of person is annoying lets put them in a cool situation" while vewn tackles deeper issues in an absurd manner. you cant just see someone doing perspective and stylistically halfassing backgrounds and call it vewn
>>
>>7884805
You fags will be annoying contrarians about anything imaginable. I felt I was saying something obvious and uncontroversial in the comparison, like observing the physical similarities between a raven and crow, and then you say they're NOTHING alike. They're nothing alike, really? Not at all similar? I could see if I compared her to Michelangelo or Pollock or even Joe Murray. Fucking hell.

>>7884806
ok i was exaggerating a bit when i said nothing like vewn, they have similarities. but theyre not copying her, trust me ive seen vewn copycats this is not one of them
>>
>>7884807
Feels really similar apart from some superficial differences. I guess I'm just tired of seeing copycats in art. She's talented clearly, but why try be another guy?
In anime I'm seeing a lot of copycats of the Onimai guy right now (Ryo Imamura). People will draw his same retarded hand anatomy quirks in an effort to look exactly like him. For what fucking purpose?
>>
>>7884808
>but why try be another guy?
took inspo, maybe, but she clearly has her own distinct style. meanwhile i saw a short film once that was just vewn everywhere but a bit worse, the style, the subject material, the everything copied to a t. it was about a girls shopping addiction so she could get more clothes for her yt channel, it was made really similarly to vewns kittykat96 video. i dislike exact copycats for the reasons you do, but being similar and taking inspo is fine as long as you have your own spark

There is, but I think they focus on animation rather than artstyle nowadays. If something has a different art style it's usually because it's based of an old manga and the mangaka drew it that way. You can't really blame the animators though, companies take calculated risks and people are okay with bland male anime protagonist and colorful pretty anime girl.
