I'm so sick of bottom right
>>91218360
Where is "Fraudulent bullshit" with far too many lines, wonky anatomy, and extreme changes in value?
>>91218360
The concept artist style just reminds me of every highly popular deviantart artist that just does one single dynamic pose for all their drawings but with a different main color each time.
None of these really apply to me
I guess I should be grateful

Better.
I'd like to see some more art examples too.
>>91219890
nigga change up your drawing style then
>>91218360
>those generalisations
When did cartoonist start meaning art based on cartoons? I've always heard it used for anyone who draws comics no matter their style since old comics strips were referred to as cartoons.
>>91219890
Don't ruin another Marvel comic, reeee
>>91219890
>>91219953
But there's nothing wrong with a cartoonish art style if you know what you're doing.
And it's kind of dumb that OP's pic stuck cartoonist all in one bunch, when there's 6 others up there that can all be bunched up as "anime artist"
>>91219927
>ms painter
>shitty on purpose to hide they're shitty by accident
>>91219018
All of these types are tumblr artists.
>>91219729

>>91219729
>stuck firmly between Flow Rider and Cool&Collected

>>91220994
Im part jelous but eh, I think they draw good, but the pictures they make arent deep at all, the colors are boring and everything its waay too polished. Im more sad that they can draw so well but have to or chose to draw boring animeshit all the time.
>>91218360
I don't feel comfortable making fun of anyone on that chart because they're all infinitely better than me at drawing.
>>91221183E-even Bubbly Beginner?
>>91220959
>>91221205
BB is better solely by the virtue of having the motivation to consistently practice.
>>91221045I was just being a dick, honestly. But you're correct, Anon. Most of them can be pretty boring. They're great, but boring.
>>91221254
the chart is subtly making fun of certain artist stereotypes
bubbly beginners are the typical DA kids that never go beyond basic kawaii uguu doodles
>>91218360
>tfw the most successful out of all of them is the cartoonist
>>91218360
i remember OP's pic being done out of spite. this was the original pic. apparently, quite a few people got angry, saying this was "putting other artists down" "praising her own shitty artstyle" and, i kid you not, "using the phrase him/her."
another artist decided to take the more saccharine route and was lauded for it.
it's a shame. i found the first version more relatable.
>>91218499
>>91222078
This is a big improvement.
>>91222078
Between angry and badass here
>>91218360
This seems very biased
>>91222078
that's pretty spot on
>>91222078
I'm the insecure and teenybopper
>>91222078
Tonestly the angsty artist style looks way better than the """badass,""" which is just the generic popular style on Tumblr. The super positive one is pretty dumb but the original was also just made so the artist could pat herself on the back for not being "one of those" artists
>>91222078
>"praising her own shitty artstyle"
I can see that.
>I don't use lineart and I blend I'm BADASS
Okay geez lady we get it you're great.
>>91222078
I really like Angsty one.
>>91222078
I like The Funny Guy art-style, but not the comics.
That Graduate one is too true from what I've seen. Is it because they're extremely busy or is it just a style?
>>91222078
> Hairy Mary
Psudonym BTFO
>>91222566
It looks more appealing and it is faster, so a bit of both.
>>91222078
I see myself as a mix of "Funny Guy", "Hairy Mary" and "Teeny Bopper" whenever I try using my tablet or draw anything digitally.
>>91218360

>>91222202
There's basically no way it can't be. It's inherently general and based on perceptions.
>>91222078

>>91225996
>>91226007
I googled "Cute cat cartoon" and that's what came up.
>>91225758
>I just like 50s cartoon commercial art!
As the image editor, so do I but god damn it's pretentious to relive someone else's style, whether you're Bruce Timm or John K or some other faggot
>>91226048
>poorly ripping off a shitty cartoon cat from a series you don't even watch
Why?
>>91218735
As someone who works in the Entertainment Industry, the general time given for an extended painting is ~2 weeks freelance. By which I mean a painting that is rendered and won't break apart upon printing.
Then for comps, you are given about a week for say 5~10 colour comps. These are mostly just fast painted shapes to get an idea down. They look like trash when printed or looked at with a discerning eye, which is why you will mostly see them from 1000px max, and they are painting at 6400px max.
It is actually much easier and faster to paint a large and open scene where you see a large environment and some figures from a distance than it is to paint a few figures in closer profile-like view. Even for a professional painter, painting say, a portrait from Life takes 6 hours to get something that looks decent in oil. Painting something from photo reference and imagination takes longer unless you are painting over a photo.
Also, of the 2 weeks or so you are given, you are fully expected to grab and take your own photo reference in costume for the piece that you are working on, which can take up a day quite easily.
For a Matte Painting, which is also Concept Art, these take a 3~4 weeks generally, as these have to be fully rendered and good from any distance with extreme detail.
>>91226081
The cat is not the primary focus of the drawing.
>>91225822
>>tfw I know artists that are known for their cute vanilla art that draw a lot of hardcore guro porn they keep on the dl
>mfw they become professional and hide their nsfw content behind a password-protected website/blog or delete all of it altogether

Yeah, I've been there.
What I've been trying to do is force myself to draw, even if i'm not feeling 'in the mood' or inspiration.

>the shitty Tumblr artist who sees both traditional beauty standards and basic artistic fundamentals as constricting and outdated

>the butterface artist - usually skilled in landscapes, magical effects, anatomy, etc. but they just really never got around to learning how to make a face look at all human or good and it ends up very uncanny and alienating

Not true. I don't draw any lewds. I'm a huge pervert but I have no interest in drawing lewds.
Loving the fact drawfags are popping up and self inserting themselves into this.
>>91229683
I'm in a sort of similar boat in that I've never drawn any lewds before, but I think I definitely will later.
>>91229751
Well it is a thread about people who draw
>>91229683
Most artists do it for money. It's either porn or fanart if you wanna make a quick buck.
>>91229908
>>91229827
It's not like I haven't thought about it. I sometimes wonder if I should just take the plunge and draw furry porn for money.
I just really doodle for fun.
>>91227759
That was my first thought all tumblr styles and descriptions none of them apply to me whatsoever.
>>91229827
It's a thread about the type of people who draw, not the people who draw themselves. Get over yourself.
>>91229970
Don't do it if you don't enjoy it to at least some extent. If you aren't properly motivated you'll likely just quit and then leave a bad taste in your mouth afterwards that you can't particularly walk away from.
>>91229683
>I don't draw any lewds
Then you're not actually an artist.
>>91230036
Nice limerick
>>91230077
Not him, but I don't really consider myself one anyway. Just a person who draws.
After taking a bunch of art classes I've come to realize I don't even really know what "art" is. I just want to do what I like to do and share it with people who might also like it too while steadily trying to reach an unobtainable goal of constant self improvement.

You're right but I'm super strapped for cash.
My art doesn't appeal to anyone but me. I don't think I'm bad, and I don't even have odd tastes, I just don't give a shit about tumblr's interests or deviantart's interests or twitter's interests or whatever so I'm not popular with my original stuff.

Not really sure how the two aren't related. Considering people who draw might disagree with the aforementioned "type of people who draw" thing it seems like their insight might be warranted and add to the discussion.
Before this thread dies, is the /co/ drawthread any good? I've done requests for generals before but a lot of them were absolute cunts.

It's all generic examples of the respective styles, individual artists within the groups have varied approaches.
>>91230197
Pick up some charcoal and do some no line art sketching. Tones only, and you'll likely love it. It'll help you start thinking in shapes and not in lines and it helps you give up on fixing shit because you can just work over charcoal
Just to be clear I'm talking the soft charcoal on a newspaper like surface and using a building up or blocking method. You block in the darks and mids them cover everything with a later of charcoal and blend it then work the darks back in and pull out highlights with a kneeded easer or your hands and never put down lines. If you plan on saving anything you'll need a fixative.
>>91230999
Those are the best styles though, barring maybe angsty.

Bullshit.
If you're dedicated and you have a good amount of free time, it only takes about 4 years to get really fucking good from nothing if you know what you're doing. And 4 years isn't much at all in the long run.
So if you're parents are letting you be a NEET in their place, use that time to practice art instead of just fapping to art.
>>91232877
>if you havent shown talent at a young age, don't expect to ever get good

you can get better with practice sure, but that doesnt mean you'll be as good as somebody who's talented. if you're having fun with it, then great. if you're discouraged with your progress even after months of practice, then just give it up or else you'll grow to hate it. you're better off finding something you're better at doing.

Wew.
Also the person that's """talented""" is only better than you because he spent more time practicing. He probably spent more time practicing because he's got more of a passion for it than you do. If you find your passion isn't strong enough to keep you practicing and improving at a rate that keeps you happy then yeah you should probably stop.
If THAT's what you're trying to say I understand, but otherwise your advice is bad and you should feel bad.

"talent" is a meme. anyone can be "talented" by just forcibly pumping up their neurotransmittors with noots
a gram or so of taurine with some caffeine, a bit of adderal, blueberry extract, fucking green tea, pick your poison
"talent" is just brain chemistry, and brain chemistry can be manipulated. you wont be mensa levels of "talent", but you can sure fucking be "talented"

right because taking illicit substances to be better at something you're no good at is definitely a healthy way to live life
i know people who have adhd and take adderall daily for it, it fucks with your body and it shouldnt be used unless you really do have behavioral problems, not because you cant live with the fact that your drawing sucks
if you're taking drugs to get better at a fucking hobby because you arent satisfied with your progress, you're just proving my point that you should just move on and find something that you're better at doing
that's not to say you cant do it if you have fun with it. talent doesnt matter when you're having fun

then don't take adderal? I only put it in there because its the easy way to "git gud" for retards. There's plenty of gentler noots and supplements to help your brain. You don't even need to take typical "noots". Literally, green tea, blueberry extract, bacopa, ginkgo, etc. I sure sound like some hippie fuck but it's true. Even just supporting your brain to be better in the long run makes a world of difference to how you progress with your work, and it's far from "cheating" or even forcing your brain to do something it doesn't want to do.
Take care of yourself and it trickles down.

ginkgo, bacopa, b12 sublingual, good quality fish oil, peppermint oil in a vaporiser while I draw, acetyl-l-carnitine and sometimes blueberry extract. All the fun stuff.
I mostly take it to improve bloodflow to my brain since I suffered encephalitis 3 years ago, so I've been trying to recover from it. It's helped me bounce back well.
Personal tip: I'd avoid vinpocetine. It did more harm than good for me, it ain't anything to fuck around with. There's a reason they use it for alzheimer; shit's strong.

Based on your style, I suspect you may be in a hugbox of tumblr friends that don't want to hurt your feelings. Uncanny valley also makes it hard to describe exactly what's off.

Months and months. You're literally just giving your brain the tools to make itself better, rather than telling it "make more of x neurotransmittor".
You won't get instant results like with typical noots, but it's safer this way, and it keeps your brain sharp in the long run, with no dealing with your brain crashing eventually if you were taking the usual noots everyone takes.
Also take into account I was recovering from encephalitis for the past 3 years, so my baseline was pretty fucking low, so it was easy to compare it to any improvements I had.

It's alright. Just remember, drawing your characters naked first helps since it sort of looks like you drew the clothes before that. I like the face though.
>>91236158
those eyes are terrifying i love it
>>91235565
why... why do i think i recognize the face of the top one from an animation collab
Where would this fall under
>HS senior
>Watches mostly anime
>Took after another kid and started drawing on the whiteboards but its just shitty scribbles
>Constantly drawing attention by replying to a joke with YOUR NAME HERE in "shock"
>Interning with an "artist"
>Doing shit background "art"
>Not so subtle about being super submissive to his irl anime arteest gf
tell me what kind of artist am i /co/
>>91218360
Someone should take all these new artist types Anons have made and put them into one picture like the others.
I'd do it but I seriously need to go to sleep.
>>91237152
>that catgirl bottom mid
i dont care what kind you are gimme sauce on that cutie
Where do I fall under?
>rarely draw anymore after highschool, simply draw out of boredom now
>told countless times I had potential and should go pro or to some art school, but I always ignore these claims because it's only a hobby I partake in when bored
>try to stick to a certain style and fail, can't stay consistent
>if taking a long break from drawing and then coming back, it becomes somewhat difficult to get back into the groove, can't form shape correctly
>can probably do realism if I tried but prefer to draw simple stuff because it's easier and faster to dish out

>>91237372
i relate to that. what i figure i need to do (and probably you too) is to go hard on just fundamentals and build a good foundation

That character reminds me a lot of a person I once knew and I really want to punch her in the face because of it.
> hm, I wonder what kind I would qualify as
> check my folder
> it's all weird unfinished shit
Honestly, I wouldn't even call myself an artist.
I'm just a living embodiment of shame and regret at this point.
>>91239033
shit man that looks pretty good right there
>>91232877
Don't listen to this guy.
>>91218709
Even if it's for 1 hour everyday be sure to practice. No shortcuts, No cheat days, no sicks day. Art is like any other skill we use in our daily lives. If we don't practice then we get nowhere.

Thanks mate.If you'd like it, I can post a finished version in drawthread later.
Not to be attentionfagging or anything.
Lazy ass weeaboo.

People won't care how bad your shit is if you at least attempt to improve your art over time and make things funny or interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UzEHKyUZp4

I'd like to see it yeah
>>91239507
This was me for a long time until my sister encouraged me (repeatedly) to post my stuff online and try to take more pride in what I make. Still haven't really gotten the second part, but I feel I've at least branched out more since I started posting stuff online.

Fucking help please. PLEASE.
I need to study harder, that's what it must be.
>>91240560
Just keep practicing everyday. You'll find your art style over time. An hour a day. Draw draw and draw some more.
>>91240560
You could take a minute to slow down on your gesture drawing. You're making these quick, short dashes for your lines to develop your form, lifting your pencil too quickly from the page. I'm gonna guess each of these took 30 seconds to a minute to draw. Just try practicing your curves and line weight, pay attention to the pressure you're using on your pencil. You're grasping some really nice dynamic poses, good foreshortening in the chest and head, though some of the legs lose that sense of perspective either because they're too big or don't push that foreshortening like the rest of of the body's pose.
>>91237090
Woah man, slow down with the self hate there
>>91240669
I draw daily as is and have not stopped doing so for the past several years. Here in my room now I have two similar sketchbooks now which are full, and in a bag somewhere in my home at least 6-7+ other sketchbooks of similar dimension. For the lack of progress it's pretty fucking frustrating to see but I waffle like a reaaaaal motherfucker.
I thought "style" was an excuse for not learning fundamentals? I heard this on /ic/, and in general, that style should be disregarded before actual fundamentals are solidly in place.
>>91240672
I'm given thirty seconds by the first suggestion of the line-of-action tool.
https://line-of-action.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/
I have done some minute-to-two minute drawings using it, but not very often. Pic celated is an example. of a group of gesture drawings done with more than thirty seconds.
All actual gesture drawings I label accordingly; anything not labeled or which looks more finished than a gesture drawing is not a gesture drawing e.g. the previous picture.

Here are some drawings from today, from imagination.
I apologize for scan quality, I'm rushing using a VuPoint Magic Wand hand scanner. I should also mention I am skipping around sketchbook pages as well; usually nowadays a singe day's bunch of drawings spans several pages and it's why my sketchbook's been filling so fast now.

Stop only making sketches and start applying what you learnt to more refined pieces. Identify problem areas and grind those, rinse and repeat. Only doing gestures will not help you if you don't commit to something more.
Push yourself and try new things if you feel like you're stagnating.

>>91240929
Problem areas I see most prominently are bodily landmarks and "definition" as well as giving poses a good sense of balance; additionally I have issue with perspective and proportions.
But otherwise, basically commit more, basically and slow down?
>>91240941
I don't understand this video. It seems more like a blog than informative or developmental. I'm not super worried about style and think it ought to come when I have some solid backing.
>>91240982
Addend; what about turd polishing? I really try to avoid finishing work because of this, I do not want to spend lengths of time making what is already fundamentally shit and then refining it further when underlying issues have not been addressed.
Do I need to finish stuff more so I can actually find and address those issues?
>>91240877
I'd take everything from /ic/ with a grain of salt. Style is something you can push when you're comfortable with your fundamentals. The issue is most amateurs don't know when to push it and end up depending on style as their rule of thumb for general drawing methods. The result is usually anatomically incorrect work or art that imposes on someone else's techniques to the point of looking unoriginal.
For example, here's something I sketched recently. I don't normally illustrate like this, but I found it served the purpose I was looking for when the idea came to mind. Style if anything, is a means of adding emotion to our work by exaggeration and bending the rules of the fundamentals. I wouldn't make this a portfolio piece by any standards, but I enjoyed drawing in this style while working on it.
And that's sort of the point of developing a style: experimentation. You take inspiration from what you like, replicate it, and then apply those techniques to your own work. The more influences you have, the more it'll start to blend, and eventually you might make something that stands out. It's the "draw what you like" part of studying. If you feel like you're not capturing the same thing the subjects you've studied have, it could mean your fundamentals are still not up to snuff, or it's not a method you're well accustomed to. Either way, it's fun to learn other peoples approaches towards their work, just don't let it dictate your general practice.
That being said, /ic/ is pretty resourceful for reference: https://mega.nz/#F!es1BSKQR!spODyd0iaQmMelGA2GscFw

My browser ate my post and I can't be bothered to type it all up again, but to sum up what I was going to write, yes, you do.
What do you want to draw? Do you have the skills to get there? Why not? What can you study to get closer to that? Just generalizing your studies won't help you. You need to start tacking individual elements and the only way to do that is to identify them by actually hunkering down and trying to make something.
You don't need to spend a lot of time on a more refined piece, but you do need to put in the effort to see where you're struggling as you're making it. You start strugging to draw the hands on the character, well, practice hands. Draw them from every angle, draw each finger, practice its gesture -- do what you need to do to understand your subject and then try again. They're a bit better now? Draw an entire figure again and see where you get stuck, focus on a new problem area and rinse and repeat.
