Picrew is a site where users can make their own dress-up game, by drawing and uploading all the individual parts. So what if /ic/ made one together?It's simple, draw an item and I will put it in the image maker, where everyone will be able to use it. Here are the item groups I've set up so far>Body>Eyes>Pupils>Noses>Mouths>Hair>Hats>Ears>Backgrounds>Tops>Tops Layer 2Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>8078161Excellent, I can smell him through the screen.
>>8077203People still use Picrew?
At least deviantart actually showed my fucking drawing to people, unlike twitter and every other modern social media automated shadowban chatgpt ass moderation fucking hellscape in this fake and gay new world. FUCK! I'm fucking oissed
>>8075742When you post or reply to shit, and didn’t get any views. Because it’s hidden.
hanging out in artist communities is the meta now so you can leech off of other people's followers
>>8075742reddit shadowbans all accounts automatically upon creation until they are a certain age (a few weeks) and has a certain amount of updoots from small subs. there's an art to it.with twitter, i am certain that there's some kind of hidden metrics for how "nice" you play, but account age is also probably a big factor too. Grok is advanced enough now to distill nuance from veiled insults. deviantart has AI moderation but it's so smoothbrained that as long as you aren't dropping slurs or swears, you can praise "the mustache man" and make posts about DEI and nothing will come of it. you can even tell what the AI sees in your image before you upload it, because it tags stuff automatically with machine learning.
>>8072181there's just too many peple online now. too many artists. too many grifters. and too many shitters. If the internet limited itself to only a few countries, discoverability would come back and you would get the chance you deserve, then if you're good you'd get people becoming fans of your art. But as it is now, you're litearlly fighting billions of thirdies for attention.
>>8078322this site would be wonderful if they rangebanned just a couple specific countries. weird how they don't do that
How many artists are using AI now adays to just draw over? I feel like I see alot of artists on twitter that have really awful lineweight, and have a style looks AI adjacent. Usually press on their account to find its like 5 months oldPicrel unrelated, I was gonna post some artists I thought were tracers, but thatd be mean
>They never understood AI or data centers, but you're going to fawn over porch chimps?>You really are a Jeet.
>>8078940Cool. It doesn't change the fact that my audience that views my content are not from India.
I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill a response to >>8078941 as it goes against OpenAI use policy. My purpose is to provide helpful and respectful information to users.
>>8078945You will answer or I'll stop donating to Help Ukrainian Jews Now.
>>8069844I want my art to look as less AI as it can. I even gave up rendermonkeying because AI was so popular.
Today I'm seeking help from "The Internet" since by myself I'm too weak (AKA, I've been searching for years and found nothing)This isn't the first time I asked here, probably wll not be the last (unless someone manages to come through with this) but I might as well try again.Meet Eo58! A Korean artist who (used to, he stopped recently) stream on Twitch pretty regularly. He had no other social media to speak of so everything we know from him comes from his streams.Those streams, are now mostly backed up on Bilibili, everything streamed from 2024 onwards can be found there.From 2024 onwards.He began streaming in 2016.His style changed a lot over the years, his old style is the one I personally use as reference the most, so it would be an incredible resource for me but any material from before 2023 might as well be lost media.So, I humbly ask, if you happen to have those recordings, know someone who MIGHT have those recordings or, heck, know someone who might know someone who has them... Please let me know.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>8074373Probably yeah... Still one has to try, you never know (plus I'm desperate)
>>8074368Waddup metallicbox
>>8077736Uhhhh, hi! ...Btw, do I know you?
>>8074368i mean there is some stuff on bilibilihttps://space.bilibili.com/en/22615743/lists/3819816?type=season
>>8078138I mean, true there is some stuff but most of it is from 2024 onwards. His style changed a lot by then, almost a completely different thing, and he stopped drawing big, cinematic stuff almost entirely (check his old twitch clips, some of the stuff he used to draw was INSANE)There are a few old posts of people arpund here saying they had those recordings which is why I'm asking here in the first place.
genuinely how do I make drawing fun to do? I only picked it up as an adult so I don't have any childhood nostalgia-boosted feelings when I do it, and I'm too much of a perfectionist on myself to just draw something shitty and not care about it being badis there some trick? I find the act of completing art nice, and I think it's cool to see active growth in something I put time into, but I have a hard time deciding if I actually find it "fun", every time I sit down to draw it's always a mental hurdle and I don't know how to stop that, when I see some people talk about drawing they make it seem like it's the greatest thing they can participate in, but for me it's a constant despair session
Who said it had to be fun?
>>8073199>related to the picWhat Naoki Saito was talking about here? What is the secret?
>>8078099squint to simulate slanted eyes
I can only draw "once" per day. So it could be for an hour or it could be for 4 hours. But when I stop, that's it. I have to wait until tomorrow to draw again.
>>8073199what is the context for this image?>t. context enjoyer
>let me show you my lowest effort doodle I did in 30 minutes two years ago, and the illustration I spent 10 hours on now, to prove to you how much I’ve improved and impress you
>>8075937Not true, my art cock was small. Everyone made the excalibur face when I showed them it, they would say not everyone can draw well it is okay, lolNow I draw well enough people do not even believe me IRL when I say I drew my work or that 2 Hololive vts regularly RT my workIt did take me a longer time than normal, but I jelqued my cock until it was mega fat now my 8.5 inches cannot be ignored so I am happy, looking to get to 11 soon
>>8075950py 8.5 inch work
Why are artists like this

Draw this in your style. Everyone on twitter is doing it so let’s do it here
>>8076394Love the line work! Looks clean as hell, even with the small canvas size. What kind of brush did you use? It almost looks like a marker...
got lazy by the end
>>8068480
>>8076439boo hoocry some more

Where do you usually find inspiration for drawing? The Internet Archive works for me sometimes
>>8076942not a source of creativity. No idea who your boyfriend is but nobody cares about your drama.
Honestly I never do.When you call it inspiration it feels like something you can harness.But you cant.You can still draw, but what "inspires" you now will feel silly and elementary later..
>>8077454you can very much harness inspiration what are you on about.
I smokey tokeyChokey smokey.Puff enough And pens get pokey.(Guess who?):D
>>8076910Twitter has some great stuff.. but it's easy to get stuck in an algorithm.
Are you an eccentric artist?
>>8073621Yes, the last thing I did to my parents was sent them 28 hentai pictures and told them to be disappointed in me forever
I'm pretty sure America is overpopulated with "eccentric artists" if the Family Guy version of this Van Gogh guy counts...
>>8075502The family guy version also cuts his ear offYou are saying everyone would rip their ear off?He just acts like the normal version of Van Gogh
>>8075906I cut my ear off last night. Its going to be the new trend. WAGMI. Maybe after we're dead.
>>8075473Am I the only eccentric artist on /ic/?damn...
creating images
Post art you loveDoesn't matter where it's from or who made it as long as it's good art you love
>>8077123why do people still post this shit what year is it again
The way he draw lips inspire me to be good at lips.Also I like comedic old/balding/fat hentai men.
>just draw more!>just finish your drawings!Which produces better gains? Constantly being challenged to constantly produce new art or analyzing your current art and trying to polish it into something better If you fuck up e.g. the anatomy or the perspective or composition, should you try to identify your weak spots in what you made and fix them or keep pumping stuff out to increase your total volume
>>8077372Why :(I just want to learn to draw...
>>8077336It's not complicated, anon.>Draw something you're horny>"Hmmmm, looks like shit. Let me try 10 more times">Better, but still looks like shit.>Review a bit of anatomy.>Realize your torso was off and leg too short.>Adjust>Looks goodAnd just keep doing that.
there is no fast track, you have to draw shitty things and finish them and be proud of them.All those cases of artists seemingly getting good in one year are total frauds. They can only draw a very very specific narrow subject and can't iterate or build on it, and they use so many tricks and tools that it can barely be called drawing anymore. You don't want to be like that.
Yeah whatever. Just draw . I know.
>>8077336do both
>draw peter griffin>draw peter griffin>draw peter griffin>draw peter griffin>draw peter griffin>100k followersIt's that easy.
>>8074652its not rigged against artists, it's in favor of spammers and advertisersbtw you can post multiple times a day, but you are going to get deboosted fairly quickly if you don't already have a huge audience but you cant get a huge audience if you dont post 60 times a day, but if you post that much you're getting deboosted; it's a catch22that's why everyone buys followers on there buuuut they are not going to mean shit either if you dont attract a real audiencebuying blue also doesn't do shitbest to just disregard twitter since its all automated brand accounts and bots running on that site. It's a glorified 24/7 advertisement channel at best, a shithole full of bots and mentally ill at worst. Just fucking drop the site already.>but where would you goOutside. The internet era is over. If you didn't get yours a couple years ago, if you're not a scammer or if you're not already in a cabal of art trannies boosting your account, there is no point to posting on social media anymore.Normies aren't using it anymore. Most commissioners either have already their artist or slop their own shit and everything inbetween is just fake traffic that doesn't mean shit.
>>8074680Joining closed communities like discord servers yields the same non-results if you're lucky, since it's just social media but with even more limited reach yet majority mentally ill users.At best you're getting one commission you maybe will get paid for, at worst you will just be gatekept from the inner circles, at the extreme worst you will just be milked for drama if you give them one bad vibe.
>>8074652Shadman wasn't posting arts 1000 times a day though. I was following him when he was relevant, and he was just shitposting, streaming and do announcements. Pretty much what you'd expect from someone who tries to make a name for themselves using social media. Posting artworks is only a part of the job and this should be done to multiple sites. On top of that, you should be funny/have personality, otherwise your only hope is to gamble and chase twitter art trends
>>8074411>tfw look like Peter Griffin>tfw no qt japanese waif (male)it hurts bros. .
>>8074411> mfw I've done this with video game characters in high school before there ever was social media> stopped because I stopped liking Family Guy and thought the joke was cringeMotherfucker, you're telling me I could have been ahead of the curve?
I bought a sketchbook and a few pencils, I have a cheap Wacom tablet on the way as well as the Keys to Drawing book. I really want to draw. However, I am insanely scared that if I start drawing I won't get better. And then after hundreds of hours of drawing and trying to learn (fundamentals) I will still be shit.When I look at beginners, they can already draw a bit. My level is literally zero, I have no talent, nothing. I want to draw but I am too scared.
>>8072279You should be. You'll never be an artist, you suck and your mind knows it. It's warning you, your brain knows you better than anyone and knows you don't have what it takes. Bettee not start and save yourself years of wasted time and humiliation.
>>8073249 Ngmi, unironically
>>8072279Well you won't get good if you don't fuck up.You have to try and fail in order to get good in first place.
