This thread is designed to be a space for women, by women.
If you are not a XX chromosome woman, do not post in this thread. Not looking for male opinions, male art, discussions of men/male art, etc.

NOTICE: The /fyi/ thread will complete evolution into /wao/ (Women's Art Oasis) after this transitional thread. We are rebranding this space to include female artists who may not necessarily be fujos, yumes, etc.

Rules:
>the males must be attractive
>women must be drawn with the female-gaze in mind.
>No /femboy/trans/cuntboy/traps/futa. Go to /salt/ for that.
>If you want female advice on "how do I draw x" then go to /beg/. Nobody gives a fuck.
>No male yurifags, no faceless dudes, no femboy, no shota/ loli, no futa, no guro, no derailing thread. Nothing created to appeal to the male gaze. Thank you.
>If it does not serve women, it does not belong here.
>If your bait isn't accompanied by your own work, we do not care.
>If it reads like bait, don't respond. Just report.
>Do not derail thread to discuss/debate what the female gaze should or shouldn't be. We do NOT care.

i have never knowingly consumed alcohol at any point in my life. alcohol literally rots your brain over time, even in moderation. i'm almost 28 now, but i want to live long enough to see genetic enhancement and real anti-aging medicine become a thing, because i don't believe in an afterlife.

i like to draw spaceships and commission art of sexy anthro wolf girls and fox girls, but jannies would throw a little hissy fit if i shared that. i most recently commed a second mina the hollower piece from venezuela, which i can share. it's not very good but i only spent $70 on it. i want to plap GMO animal girls in 2300 AD

It`s a cultural block, they`re capable of it but their ((masters)) won`t allow them to profit from it.
Just look at other non Asians like Latinos, they draw extremely sexy cartoon and pseudo anime women.
Picrel is Genzoman`s artbook, he`s Chilean but there`s also other popular South American artists like Gabriel Picolo that draw cute women.
>>
>>7986948
Ok but like seriously
>>
>>7987994
Latinx grew up with anime and 90s cartoons like Batman TAS so of course they draw sexy women.
It`s weird tho that Muricans draw women so bad.
>>7988032
NTA but look up old Italian and French BDs they draw the hottest women in comics, even anime women pale in comparison.

i heard procreate is coming to desktops, which could be pretty sweet
NTA but i actually did get a movink on a whim and it taught me two things
1: wacoms pen and tablet feel is completely unmatched. it might be unecessary, but nothing compares.
2: software matters a lot and might matter more to me than the objective quality of the hardware. procreate is just such a good program for just drawing, i really struggle to go back to krita despite the apple pencil kind of sucking

I been learning cartoony art styles like your picrel recently because I have no patience for realistic art, or even semi realistic, and I just don`t have the talent for it, I`m a talentless hack that no matter how much I practice, I barely improve.
>>
>>7987954
Try this:

https://youtu.be/1OSWR7xiQLk?is=FVREHsJW82Mv0gC9

Repeat until you get something that you want to draw again. Then drae it again. Figure it out, build it conceive it then polish it,embellish it and set it aside for the next.

Build something that YOU want to know about, and others will be curious about what you have witnessed and put to paper.

Go to an arts festival. Look at the shit there. Ask the artists questions. You'll realize how learning gets in the way of actually making stuff. Not that you shouldn't try to improve. It's just that people that are successful don't get perpetually bogged down in the learning process. There is no "one day I'll be ready and then I'll start making". It's also simultaneously black pilling AND inspiring to see the absolute trash that sells in the art market. Black pilling because these people get in on shitty work, inspiring because it makes you feel like you can do better. But the one thing I've found that most of these people have in common is that they make finished stuff regardless of their skill level. They're just always making shit. After all, art is about making stuff, not an endless lesson. There are two groups of artists: those that constantly talk about art, talk about techniques and learning, and then those that are just making art. To be clear I am not a fan of abstract lazy bullshit. But the other extreme end is always practicing and theorizing until one day you look around and you haven't made a single fuckin thing.

if I actually want to get popular do I have to draw hot girls?

I've been drawing what I want for awhile and I've improved but what's never gotten better is my social media standing, I'm still getting under 10 likes after over a year of posting art.
I do draw girls and lewds, but I honestly haven't posted them anywhere but 4chan because well, I guess maybe I'm ashamed of that part of myself a bit. But I also have a non-art channel with almost 140k subs andd the last thing I want is someone coming from that channel and seeing that kind of art.
So like, do any of you have experience with this, would drawing girls make me more popular? Or am I just playing the social media game wrong?

Hot girls have the most universal appeal out of any subject matter yes. If you want to build an audience quickly then it's basically a requirement.
You can also lean hard into being gay/furry/whatever and pander to those communities instead. But the point is there has to be some sort of implicit sexual edge to your work, even if it's a very mild one. And attractive women is the best way to accomplish that. You're not going to get big on social media by doing landscapes and still lifes.
>>
Just upload whatever you want. If youre already drawing hot girls why not post them. Also post them in this thread. Worrying about getting popular is the #1 way to never get there. Its 95% luck even if youre a skilled artist. Im an okay artist and ive had a few hit drawings because they just won the algorithm lottery. Its a disheartening grind but just focus on improving and drawing what you actaully want to draw. Peace and love baby xoxoxo

>if I actually want to get popular do I have to draw hot girls?
How well you can suck up to the people who'll betray you on a whim determines how successful you are.

Look at what you have made so far, then think what you could do with it. Who would pay money for something drawn to their needs and wants?

>would drawing girls make me more popular?
Is water wet ass question
Are you trolling OP? Or just retarded? Of course drawing sexy women will get you popular, that`s why "Sex Sells" is Marketing 101 since the 1800s.
