I exclusively draw in ms paint. How much am I limiting myself and is it worth learning something else if I just want to draw oekaki style shit like picrel (not my art) anyways?
>INB4 why do you use paint
Because:
>Can just start drawing - you don't have to spend time messing with settings or brushes. It even opens on a blank canvas
>Comfy aliased brushes built in
>I'm used to it
>I am bad at controlling my line weight with pen pressure anyways.

No retard. Krita's fill tool doesnt even work properly even compared to mspaint. It always leaves a tiny 1 pixel line around what you're filling in for no reason. No other painting program does this.

skill issue
it only happens if you're using brushes that aren't anti aliased. If you use a pixel brush (a default brush on krita) you would have the same experience as mspaint pencil. This is actually the same as other art programs, but judging by your post you don't really know how to make or customize brushes. Sad!

works fine, you just have to adjust the settings depending on the result you want. in fact it's more customizable and better than most art software.

According to the recounting of the performance, bad actors wound up sticking around to kind of relish in 'the game' with other bad actors, and because of this, the boundaries of what was allowed began to be pushed.

You'd think they'd want to dip out to avoid social judgement, but it's similar to a human statue. You have douchebags that want to fuck with them, because they're not allowed to move to get them to break. You could make assumptions about what drives the psychology here, but the reality is everyone has their reasons for the why. During the art piece, there were actually people trying to defend her which created factions within the spectators. It's really an interesting view on the dynamics of humanity. Where some see a depraved game, others empathize and want to protect dignity or decency.

Not be cynical or to say we're all monsters underneath, I just think it's a good way of showing that there's a spectrum between "good" and "bad" and that's what being human is.

>People who come here read about its reputation
This is what happens with any online community. Although not necessarily true (or only partially true), if you successfully portray a group as X, people who are X will see this and think that group is for them. Eventually these newcomers outnumber the original users and perception becomes reality. It's a sort of flanderization.

Permabegs, jealousy, lack of improvement, the lot.

I mean we also have some stuff posted here that is 100% deserved of crabbing, but that's less common than the crabs we have.
>>
>>7709889
I know this is going to be a crab opinion, but: /ic/ has a lot of really fucking dumb people and those people are just getting what they're owed.

Being helpful is hard, helping people who don't want to be helped is impossible. There aren't more crabs here, the anonymization just makes people less afraid to call out shitty self-defeating behavior. You cannot fix these people. If you want to have some fun shit talking them, go ahead, it does you more good for you than any amount of help would do them.

Regardless, there are actually significantly less 'real' crabs here because the lack of notoriety doesn't promote the sequestering of power. If you go on any art discord, you won't find helpful people, you'll find people who want to show off how smart they are, so you never get real helpful answers to anything. Actual crabs aren't the people throwing around insults. Actual crabs are the people who force feed you their own methodology to make sure that anything that person learns is downstream from the crab.

-Asesprite. desu I don't like this thing the UI is dogshit but everyone swears by it so it's probably fine.
-ProMotion NG. uhh, lmao? I guess if you like photoshop this is cool but it is a gigantic pain in the ass to use for animation.
-Photosh- no, get that shit outta here. garbage.

Might wanna just go ahead and add me so we can shoot the shit etc. I like hearing about stuff early so I can get an idea of whether I'm the right person for the job ahead of time anyway.

Anyways, I'm probably not sticking around this thread anymore cuz there's not as many folks interested in doing this stuff as I thought would be here. A shame really, but them's the breaks sometimes.

This image is a bit disingenuous. The main reason why the cube on the left looks bad is because they drew the cube with curvy sides without much regard for perspective and made it wobbly and less structural, not necessarily because of the amount of strokes (which certainly doesn't help your line confidence, but that's a poor way to sell your point).

I have ∼developed the concepts of 'Ludo-sigil' and 'Thorem'. Therefore, the rigorous approach to art has solid foundations and no communicative ambiguity.

I think their goal is to develop a system that describes visual language in its purest form. Like writing for words, or musical notes for music. Their statement saying that using words to teach art is limited when you can be using a purer way to teach visual language. At least that's what I think they're trying to say.
>>
>>7710186
You do you schizo-kun

>>7710582
The issue becomes whether their method is truly universal, which can only be tested through consistent application and successful use of for teaching visual language. The problems become apparent if their method is too esoteric to really be of use or make sense to anybody but them, at which point, it just becomes schizobabble.
>>
>>7710366
There exists 'sensory thought'.
"We have a 'RED' ".
Perfect communication would be the explicit transmission of such a red [telepathy].
At present, we cannot do this.
We employ external-probabilistic proxies to approximate such perfect transmission [traditional language].

There exists 'meta-thought'.
Innate relational structures.
Equal, larger, smaller...
Mathematics.

There exists 'meta-sensory thought', which is the interrelation of these two approaches.

This meta-sensory thought has a property: the level of entropy, which is determined by 'will' [local enrichment] and by 'empiricism' [external enrichment].

>sensory thought 'RED'
I don't think so. Red is just a reference to something the listenener has already seen. We are told that x visual sensation is named 'red', if you were from another country it would be named differently. The sensation is not encoded in the word, only a reference.

>There exists 'meta-sensory thought', which is the interrelation of these two approaches.
example ? I don't see how you can define relations between art concepts like in math, because these concepts are ill-defined. Math is carefully constructed to define it's building blocks to allow this, not art.

Reminder that under the pagan Greeks and Romans, bronze sculpture flourished, producing masterpieces such as the Equestrian Aurelius.
Immediately after the Christians took control, they deliberately destroyed all art, considering it to be sinful. For the next 1000 years art and bronze sculpture in particular resembled nothing more than low relief blobs.
It was not until Cellini in the renaissance that sculpture finally returned to the level of artistic skill of the pagan Greeks and Romans. And while he may have been a Christian, what did he chose to sculpt? Not Jesus... but Perseus. A pagan figure.

Thats true but in terms of artistic ability the ancient world was undoubtedly better than the medieval one. By Pax Romana we are getting 2D art that looks quite lifelike and this is without any oil paint. To clarify Medieval art isn't bad or lacking in any sort of techniques, some of it is really beautiful. But its all just stylized religious art and nothing more.

>Michelangelo, Raphael
The renaissance is the revival of pagan art and ideals.
Their subjects were christian because it's where the money came from, but Michelangelo and Rapahel were apprentices of the pagans of classical antiquity and paid homage to them whenever they could.

Shakespeare would have been Shakespeare with or without christianity.
