Is it really just coming up with an idea and acting on it? I find it incredible how people on /i/-oekaki can simply come up with a cool looking OC and background. I can barely imagine something and draw it.

I quit drawabox too. I felt like that course was draining what little motivation I had

is it a meme drawing? Then don't expect a follow unless you constantly put out meme drawings that constantly goes viral where people will recognize you then you will get followers. For fanart, unless you actually have a decent or somewhat unique artstyle then don't expect followers from that as well.
>>
>>7951810
From a consoomer of my xitter feed, this is my POV. If I like someone's art, I first check their posts before following. If I like 1 or 2 more works from what I see I hit follow.

I will immediately back out and NOT follow if all I see is words words words from the artist who xeets their opinions about random shit. Same if they post a bunch of shit like what they ate at a restaurant x1000. Why do they think anyone cares? Also if 90% of your posts are rexeets from others I'll just follow them then if they aren't guilty of the shit above.
>>
>>7951741
That's just how algorithms work now. Just look at youtube trying to outright suppress the subscription tab now since every channel gets most of their views from non subs in current year. Despite the fact they crafted the algorithms to have that kind of result. Other websites also clearly follow this trend.
The other posters also make a good point. If I see a piece I like, usually for a specific characters but it's clearly a one off, i'm not dropping a follow. God forbid if there's a ton of non art stuff (food pics) in their media tab. Usually because I'll have the mindset of not wanting to risk the chance of what I do like getting diluted. Every potential follow becomes a gamble in what gets retweeted too.
>>
>>7953653
Yes, another one is if their media tab is POLLUTED with reaction gifs/memes in various threads they were having a conversation in. Why do they do this?

For the food pics it's always funny/sad to me that their art gets tons of likes, and their random food pic of goyslop they ordered at some fancy restaurant gets like 2 likes.

>>7951741
OP, does your xitter account fall victim to any of these?
>>
>>7951741
Because the social media/follower model of art consumption is retarded. Just because someone likes a piece of art you have done does not mean they want to follow and be subjected to whatever other random shit you post. I fucking hate that actual art gallery websites, with actual categories and useable search to narrow things down to specifics have fallen out of fashion and now it's all endless scrolling feeds of random unrelated bullshit.

Even DeviantArt (before they ruined it with the "redesign") was better than the shit situation we find ourselves in now.

You niggers are allergic to discipline. Everything has to be a game, it has to have a reward besides the process itself. Sometimes I wonder if you troglodytes even have any education or jobs that require basic willpower to build and maintain without breaking down.

If you are a /beg/inner in art, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice.

DO NOT REPLY to crabs, nodraws, over-analyzing schizos, retards that whine about how hard drawing is or talent debates and instead focus on posted works!

Yeah I seem to struggle with stiff poses from time to time. Not sure how I should go about it yet. Thank you for the compliment on the lines though, that's one of the things I struggle the most with.

>>7955525
Yeah I struggled a bit with the overall balance of detail. I'm hoping that I can remedy that a little with the lighting and color. Thanks for the advice about the ground though, that's not something I usually consider.

Why is getting core good illustration skills before working on any sort of comic/manga you want to show to the public discouraged over here?

I especially see it the most on /mmg/ where "storytelling is more important" sometimes is used to excuse subpar to just mediocre visuals, when a good comic in my opinion should do well in both

I reiterated several times in my post that normies have piss poor standards, you can keep seeing self improvement as a bad thing or a hassle you have to jump over before becoming rich or you can go make your stick figures to post on webtoon or mangaplus. Everyone else's drawing dogshit to please the normies, right? You can make it with drawing some solo leveling isekai slop for koreans right now and pay the electricity bill for your entire village
>>7952315
>The opposite. Even in Japan, many artists who are successful today once drew their first doujins full of issues and bad art. They literally copy manga pages when they are young.
Yes, I agreed with that from the start. They learned from copying and improved. I'm not the one vendettafag that fucked your wife
>Stagnation is trying to be a perfect artist before doing comics.
Retard read "put in effort" and understood it as "be perfect at drawing before starting a comic". Nobody's reading from the mangaplus shortbus squad nigger

Close the book the moment you see this kind of stuff. Drawing isn't something you solve with math equations. You are supposed to rely on your intuition that comes from drawing a lot. These books are for people who think their made-up aphantasia can be compensated for with rigid rules and diagrams.

I'm trying to learn to draw good stylized cartoon / anthro mice. I'm looking for ones that retain the mouse shape, NOT usual furry/anthro where its a humanoid anatomy/proportions. More like the example picture (Bianca from The Rescuers).

Good examples:
- Secret of Nimh
- The Rescuers
- Timothy from Dumbo

Can you post any more examples of this style of mouse character, or name/link any artists who regularly draw these types?
