....this, you are part of the problem

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.

Getting caught up on other people's success will keep you from improving yourself. Art is self expression through terms of beauty, not some arbitrary set of rules and techniques created by some faggot in the internet.

I don't even like her art, but going out to point fingers at people because you don't like what they do and that people like what they do is not the way to live, when it comes to art if you don't like it, don't watch it.
>b-b-b-but that doesn't mean I can't criticize it!
So? Criticize all you want but when artists start not going after pieces of work and instead of to the methods on which that piece of work was made then you know they are full of shit.

>I dated her for 3 years
fuck off back to instagram or whatever hole you crawled out of

Because the models I use are dumpster fires compared to the faces I draw. I just need poses

A youtuber does this for a living and has 600k subs for it. A successful artist focuses on quantity and marketing.

It's unfortunate but you have to adapt and cheat if you don't want to starve.

Wait I remember this.. Didn't you post her work here before?

He isn't making money as an artist, he is making money as an entertainer and youtube personality. There are hundreds of youtube channels with realistic photocopiers and each of their videos only gets 1k-5k views. You cannot make money off of copying photos.

I posted before and y'all said she was the better artist.

>>3125998
But what he is doing is actually skillful. She straight up traces selfies then renders

>>3126000
Yes

>>3126012
That's not true. Tracing has been pivotal since classic.

>>3125594
The methods matter

>>3126493
So not even for references? She is then essentially stealing at that point, as someone who works in graphic design (nb4 not art, i know), that's called copyrighting.
Post more of this thief's work?

I can't believe illastrat got cucked

Sometimes she traces sometimes she grids. I've never seen her genuinely freehand.

>>3125501
(kinda)had the same thing with my ex, she is a youtuber 80ish k subs.
post alot of drawing on her insta, all traced. It triggers me so fucking much.

Her shit is better than yours desu.

What about when somebody traces some obscure Jap artists fanart. then gets caught and immediately updates his post to credit the artist he traced?
