I wonder if the reason we lack artists that are as good as the old masters is because we fried our brains out with useless information. Most people who are good nowadays grew up drawing and not scrolling social media. I don't think you can become a great artist if you keep filling your brain with information you won't use for art, it is wasted resources and you can only fill your brain with so much information before it starts discarding recent memories. Maybe even reading words is bad for an artist and you should only look at things you want to draw to maximize and streamline your brain capacities. I think we should stop using the internet to become better artists
In general, internet addiction stifles creativity. Creativity occurs while your mind is at rest, and if everytime your mind is at rest you whip out your phone to read some retarded shit, you will not have any creative thoughts.

>>7841185We're generally more skilled and knowledgeable than people of yore in most regards, even in areas they excelled in - so I think this shows that your hypothesis is wrong.You are right that the art of today is observably, objectively, of lesser quality that older art, however if we went back not too far into the past to the early 1900's, we'd see plenty of great art, and yet the art world went to shit between then and the proliferation of the internet, showing the internet has little to do with art's lowering quality.It's lowering standards.The gatekeepers, the art critics, threw the gates wide open and allowed any talentless schmuck to have what should have been an esteemed title (artist).Downstream from high art, I imagine things like cartoons are also effected; if an ugly scrawl can be highly praised high art, then what standards can possibly be placed on animation or comics. or anything else?So art critics failed art and have nearly killed it with negligence - well have come as close to killing it as you possibly can.
>>7841185if you were filtered by these IQ test they use to filter retards from entering unis, you were also filtered in drawing and in life as well>the ability to move stuff in the 3d world in your head is the infamous talent some people have been born with it and some others don't, and no, you can't grind IQ to grow your brain bigger

>>7843927Black people legitimately have something magical about them, like a raw power that glitters in their eyes. They really are psychic and energy beings. This is what I teach my students and it helps them embrace their energy fields to the point where I have seen objects levitate in the classroom. The years of oppression have stifled their power but I want to help them break free of their psychic chains and become the magical negroes that I know they areMy husband is black. My son is black. I think they are telepathic because when I am around they start looking at each other then glancing at me like they are laughing at me. I’ve seen them manifest objects like knives and cash from nowhere and their mind control makes me flinch. My husband used mind control to make me give him my house deed and let him live in my house and I’m not even gay. It’s crazy the power they yield

Hello,I wanted to post some paintings i made for the second book of a science fiction series I also author. Don't know if this is more ic or more lit, but the paintings play a pivotal point in portraying the scense from the chapters. If you wanted to dive deeper into L.O.B.E., consider checking out my website: lobe3807 . comIf there's enough interest, ill post some of the paintings from the first book that can be found on that website. Looking to get general feedback, what you like, what you dont. Let me know what you think. The attached painting is the cover of the second book.

What has your drawing journey taught you? Be it about art, about yourself, about life, or anything at all. To me, it taught me many things. Patience, persistence. How much work actually goes into a drawing or a manga. It taught me that being told you're still not good enough will always suck ass, but a lot of times it will be true, so you'll have to take it. I think pursuing art made me more mature in some ways, and you're all part of the reason. Thank you, /ic/fags.
>>7841862What I draw doesnt have to BE possible, it just has to LOOK possible.I learned that from here and that took a weight of my shoulders.
>>7842773Like most health issues, carpel tunnel is largely genetic. Bad habits just bring those genes to the surface.
I started drawing seriously in my early teens and quit in my late-20s. During that time I achieved a decent amount of progress, but the problem was that by the end all my motivation for drawing had left me. When I stopped thinking and “just drew”, it left me deeply unsatisfied with my work, but whenever I pondered over what to draw and why, that led me down endless rabbit holes.. After finally accepting that art might not be for me I moved on to different things - tried to write, got into music, etc, but none of it clicked. Strangely, art was the only thing I’ve ever done that felt vaguely meaningful, even though I ultimately lost the trail.
>>7841862The thing that I learned is that I do love to draw. I love and respect anyone who is trying to better themselves in this journey, I genuinely want everyone here to succed. I started pretty much at 30(now 33), I took a year long break due to irl issues and that has been my biggest regret, after that I decided I won't ever stop again no matter what. I already took this long to start, the best thing I can do is keep going and try to get better every day. It's hard, complicated, and sometimes a little bit miserable but I find more in peace with myself and this journey the more I push the feelings of doubt and uncertainty and keep drawing. Now I draw everyday and my progress has been slow but constant, I have a long way ahead and with everyday of progress the "goal" seems further away but also the start line. Maybe it's because I picked up drawing in one of the busiest and hardest moments in my life but it feels that art is something that carries me forward in life. And I from the bottom of my hear love it.

I really had problems with her hairs. And it’s flat But I don’t know what I did wrong so plz enlighten me with help. I also want to start to use color pencils but yeah how to color well (not like in school)I felt in love with this wedding scene in The wind rises, and Nahoko’s wedding dress. I notice that Ghibli style is minimalist but plays with colors and shade.
>>7841571draw from observation
>>7841571FYI I dont know anything about this character or much about ghibli.I did some research and (think i) found the picture you were copying and these are my thoughts.Your lines feel frantic and nervous which might mean you are stressing yourself out with the burden of trying to make a tight copy of this image, hoping to capture the sensation the original evokes.Picture-copying in general is "dangerous" because you fixate on the completely flat 2d shapes and outlines in an image, and neglect the 3d forms that those impressions came from in the first place in the mind of the original artist.It's true that i DO see construction lines in the head (but nowhere else) but those are not done with conviction, but look more done out of habit.Rather than turning this into a construction-drawing versus image-copying debate, or a re-hashing of "foundational" drawing, im just going to say let's just pick some low hanging fruit: 1) Pull the eyes away from each other 2) dont actually draw the lower lids 3) slant the upper eyelid down as it gets closer to the nose

Objects in, upside down? Apparently I struggle to, form things in my head, and had been finding shortcut-esqs means to, correctly portray form before drawing it? Like, dots, vertices, basic forms but... Rather experimental? Like mathematical rotation, or just, pure visualizations. But precise.Other than that, 6 digit traffic/sales content, what would be the guideline or just, mathematically measure, your canvas,maybe against the market. Or maybe even simpler like how or whys.

What is this sort of Chinese anime style called and how do you learn to draw it? It is very different from just "anime" drawing, things like genshin's official art highly stylized. It is often more noisy and less vibrant especially in backgrounds.
It's called Soulless which is an umbrella term for all anime art styles that came after Dragonball.
Look up some manga drawing books from chinese artists. From the cover alone (or by looking up the artists illustrations on the general web) you should be able to tell whether it's china style slop.I got one from Kami Lou Chaoye in german....

How can you prove your artwork is authentic in the world of AI slop? Every method I could imagine has been compromised.>WIPsPretty easy to fake. Just trace and work backwards.>TimelapsesSome apps like Procreate let you hide reference layers, and it's known that prompters will take advantage of that to hide the fact that they're tracing over AI slop.>TraditionalEven that isn't a guarantee since prompters have now been printing out their AI slop and tracing over it on paper.So what's left? Filming yourself drawing? Showing your entire file system? Is this an unwinnable arms race?
>>7842678>>7842692AI doesn't do anything remotely close to "perfect" lighting, it does slop lighting that makes it identifiable from the thumbnail alone.I wish these people put a little more effort into denouncing the sloppers, and stopped going after small fry nsfw faggots. I keep seeing Xitter superstars with 100k+ followers passing off their shit as legit and putting "no AI pls :)" in bio without as much as raising an eyebrow, some of them even outright admitting to using AI, and none seems to bother going after them.
If you think it is hard to prove it now imagine when AI is capable of moving your mouse as if it was a human
>>7843532The average AI faggot is so fucking dumb that they always end up slipping up and outing themselves one way or another no matter how le good the tech becomes
>>7843594THe problem is that the average person is even dumber and can't even stop the most obvious AI art with completely messed up backgrounds. Especially since most just scroll on their tiny phone screens and don't think about it for more then a second. It's also doesn't help that a lot of people just don't care if something even is AI to begin with.
>>7843634>a lot of people just don't care if something even is AI to begin with.The people who care are increasingly the minority. Did you know that there's an AI Darth Vader NPC in fortnite that kids can interact with? There's an entire section of youtube by kids of clips of AI Darth Vader saying funny things. Kids are growing up with AI like most of us did with the internet. Not only will the next generation of consumers accept AI, they will embrace it. Any idiot on ic still trying to convince people AI is a dead end is a retarded crab at this point. Better start learning lora models if you want to compete in this new landscape. Or just accept that drawing will always be a hobby for yourself.
