How can I get an artist name? I don't like my real name. It sounds stupid. But I've never been good with coming up with nicknames. I also don't have any friends who gave me nicknames. How should I call myself?
>>7406915You don't draw. You should probably put pen to paper at regular intervals before you worry about stupid shit like "artist names."
>>7406916I just finished practicing torsos, what are you talking about? Now I have to buy food. Come back later.
>>7406915Random numbers if you're Japanese, anything that isn't a real word but sounds like it could, if westernIf you use the word draw/drawing or any derivatives kys
>>7406925Hmm, what about “Schublade”?
To anyone in thread: How did you come up with your artist name?
>>7406936my full legal name. im a tradchad and im not a degen, i dont need to resort to childish nicknames and gimicks to hide my identity and make it easier for mouthdrooling retards to find me on the internet by having some easy to remember username
>>7406927Did you just translate "drawer" into German, bro? Schublade is not referring to the act of drawing, so that anon wouldn't demand your head on a plate, it refers to furniture. Used as a name, you'd be assumed German with a "lolsorandumb" sense of humor, and non-Germans would be split on calling you shoo-BLADE or shub-laddy. It might be a suitable name if you were mostly drawing chubby chicks getting dicked, I guess.
>>7406961>enters a thread about cookies>anon in it asks why you like cookies>"durr I'm holier than thou because I don't eat cookies!!"More power to you and all, man, but you don't get to be obnoxious for that.
>>7406936I just use the same screenname I had as a kid.
>>7406966>shoo-BLADEkek
>>7406961post your name here faggot
>>7406915Google: [culture] god of [subject you draw] or just [thing you like]Alter it to a name that will have few google results ie: >draw elves. >google "welsh god of elves". >Wikipedia page for Tylwyth Teg first result on google.>Tylwyth Teg (Middle Welsh for "Fair Family") is the most usual term in Wales for the mythological creatures corresponding to the fairy folk of Welsh and Irish folklore. Other names for them include Bendith y Mamau ("Blessing of the Mothers"), Gwyllion and Ellyllonname: Ellywyth (Ellyllon + Tylwyth)0 matching results on google. Do this until you figure out a name you like. You can also borrow from pop culture, like for a character I took Frejya and Khaleesi to get Khaleyja, or take words in different languages and change a few letters, Emerald in swahili is zumaridi, so a name could be Zumara. This is if you want a name that sounds like an actual name. You could also just take random shit and make that your brand. Rakfork/rakspoon, cutesexyrobutts, speedosausage, etc.
>>7406993Interesting. I will have a look at that and see what I can come up with. Thanks.
>>7406978Destroyer of ass-ads
>>7406961You must be very successful at marketing and business...
>>7406936My first artist name was the nickname my whole family used to call me since I was a kid.I came up with my second artist name at a time when I was reading about Slavic mythology, so I just picked the name that caught my attention the most.
>>7406936I just picked two names I liked and put them together.Don't think too hard about it, as long as it's not difficult to write or read it'll be fine>>7406993Fun method
steal someone else’s internet handle pretend to be thembecome themThey are the artistYou are them
>>7406936>Use my IRL signature, if it's good enough for the government it's good enough for random >>7406927internet porn addicts>Some guy thinks I just have shitty handwriting and that's some sort of name>Tags me in three places and starts saying how cool that new drawfag he found is>Guess that's my name now
>>7406936The superboss of one of my favorite games.
>>7406915sheepheadfreakstorecake_16399a7406915there you go
>>7406915your art is shit so it doesnt matter. Picking out the drapes before you've learned how to built a house
>>7407364your name is a foundation to your art career. it's not something you typically decide upon well after you're done building up who you are.
>>7407364How do you know how good he is?
>>7407368You the baker of this thread? Post your work
>>7407406no I'm not op, I'm just saying it's kind of stupid to decide your name well after you started your journey. A name is the absolute most fundamental building block of who you are.
>>7407368So you think I should forget about a nickname and just use my real name? What about a variation of my real name? Picking out parts I find and altering other parts, is this allowed?
I guess I'm just not born to be an artist anyway. My name is the name of a farmer. I should have become a farmer, like my brother has.
>>7407431how is that what you got from that post?
>>7407426
>>7407451okay
>>7407452>posts meaningless png when he could simply show me up by posting drawing he did
>>7406915if your last name isn't really common but not super rare than I think it can be a cool handle
>>7407453I don't want a weird crab stalking me
>>7407451>>7407452NTA but you going out of your way to make a meaningless sketch in a childish attempt to caricature him and/or his point isnt any better, if anything it's worse.You could have explained why his point is wrong without having to make a fool out of yourself.>>7407426>>7407452Obviously NTA, but you're not exactly right either. An artist's name is not a necessity when you're an artist unless you're getting your name out there, and it's not something you come up with if you're just getting the bearings of the craft. It is an essential thing to start your career sure, but that is assuming you are already familiar enough with art to share your work to the world, otherwise you shouldn't even be thinking about a name because you don't even know who you are as an artist.Now PYW because those numbers got me curious lol.
>>7407470>>7407461neither of you know how to draw
I really think I am just not born to do this. The artists I admire all have these super cool and stylish names, while I have the name of a dumb farmer.
>>7406936Wow I'm surprised someone else on 4chan has seen cuticle detective inaba
>>7406936my irl name is a noun and surname is a coolish adjective with broad search results so i go with variants of it
>>7406936I came up with a name I liked and then added a tree.
>>7406936mines part of a quote from a book
>>7406936Find cool latin word then change it a bit to sound like a name
