So, I've been seeing this girl who is also an "artist." Everyone thinks she is hot shit because her characters have an uncanny likeness. Little do people know, she traces. I can't take her seriously yet deep down I think she thinks she is more skilled. She is a fucking hack. No respect.
I dated her for 3 years and never seen her freehand
draw. She is not an artist.

kek, I'm with you anon. Plebs give too much credit to hyperrealism, which is actually relatively easy to do. If you want a super realistic drawing, why not just take a photo?

She is so cheap and academic.

Serious question.
Why do we have a porn thread instead of the porn thread being over at >>>/aco/ ?
Get critique from those who consume your art + chance to promote yourself instantly. I mean, if someone asks on here
>blog?
That's a fellow artist who is not gonna buy from you. But on /aco/ you will actually build a following of folks who might commission or recommend you...

We've had porn threads here before /aco/'s inception. But you make a point; since those threads often times fall off the face of the board for weeks at a time.
However, it is a necessary thread to keep porn out of the draw and style threads.
>>
You might aswell just join a drawthread on /a/, /v/ and many other boards. It would slowly turn into "draw my request or fuck off" thread anyway.

I've finally moved to a bigger place where I can get a room set up to be a dedicated studio. However, all the walls are totally blank. I'd like to hang up some of my favorite art pieces for inspiration while I'm working. However, since I'm not a Rothschild I'll never be afford the originals, so I'll have to get a print or something instead. And maybe some sculpture casts as well.
Where do you guys get your reproduction art prints and casts from?
Also, more generally, how do you decorate your studio?

There's a couple of copyhouses in my town where they allow you to print anything on a paper of your choosing. It's affordable, a high quality print on A2 glossy paper costs ~3/4 euros. You only need to bring an USB key. Might be worth to check if there's any such shop where you live.
More generally, I have a couple of posters and prints, and a big wooden plank crumbling under my a3/a4 shitty art pinned on it.

It's just a room where I can do my art in, nothing fancy. Besides that was clearly not the point of my thread, so kindly fuck off.

IF YOU ARE A /BEG/INNER IN ART, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice. We should not have to make new threads or post in the Drawthread with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

I personally like threads where artists show their work and get critique.
This is like 2 hours painting.

When are you going to admit that 3D animation is technically more impressive, complex, and proficient than 2D animation is.

It really depends on the final piece. If mucha had decided to animate, his work would certainly btfo dreamworks.

>technically more impressive, complex, and proficient than 2D animation is
I mean. It is. A lot of work goes into making 3D animation, in ways that are completely unnecessary for 2D animation.
Doesn't make it better.
Can i please get some help/crit on this face? I've been staring at it for way too long and even flipping horizontally throughout the image Im losing the ability to see whats wrong. A co-worker has said her face is too wide probably because the eyes are too wide. I'm struggling to tell the difference between "thats the style" and whats actually shit & weird looking
Thank you

the eyes are unsettling. She looks like an alien. The eyes are way too wide. "b- but muh style" your style is shit

>>3124387
I've always drawn "alien" looking type girls because im shit. but that makes it increasingly difficult to tell how to fix it which is why im asking for help, would you care to redline please?
>>
>>3124389
Why don't you just study eyes from reference? Delete your anime reference sub-file and get some LOOMIS.

Whats the deal with artists these days charging so low for their works?
Back then pic related would charge $50 for a sketch at the minimum.
Don't they know how to market themselves?

It's literally a minimal wage tier, I don't understand those people.

because its shit tier works and some porn crap of anime girls?
i never charge less for 80$ for a character, but then again i actually care about lineart and coloring.

Why are dunning kruger artists so obsessed with buying really over priced art supplies?
The other day I over heard a couple of them talking about paper imported from Japan that they bought that costs like $4 for a huge sheet of it.
And here I am drawing in an old beaten up composition notebook with a cheap mechanical pencil.

Hey what websites should I use to post all my NSFW shit on (+maybe some SFW stuff)? I was thinking tumblr but they've been shutting down some NSFW shit on there so I'm just not sure anymore. Plus, I don't know much about tumblr as much as literally every other social media site because I'm not sjw trash, so I'd have to learn the ropes. Anyways, I'd prefer it to be a website where I can network and build an audience and maybe even some friends.
Just a little background: I'm pretty good at 2D (imo anyways), although I'm pretty rough at inking, and I'm gonna delve into 3D because I want some of that SFM munny. I plan on making some degenerative shit. Probably futa and maybe even bestiality, because afaik you make more money and have more dedicated fans when you do more hardcore stuff. But, if need be, I could go a little less edgy if I can reach more people on a platform that'd support me because I don't exactly have a passion for being a degenerate lol.
Sorry for making this simple question long. As a reward, I made you a cute elf girl. Anyways, what would you guys recommend? Also if you have any advice on making money off of art like commissions, branding, advertising, etc. that'd be highly appreciated!

I'm tired of seeing this autistic kid spam all the boards with his DA tier art. Not to mention, this faggot is always making threads about himself asking if he's better than X artist. He's gotten btfo'd like 3 times this week and he's still talking shit.
Like dude, we get it, your parents didn't give you any attention as a kid, to the point where you barely got breastfed which explains your low IQ. But seriously, ban this fucking faggot.
