@gaerekxenos 26 күн бұрын

@@peachesncharlotte Unfortunately, part of it is definitely the fault of the style -- being that it is too easy to mistake and mix up with other things when you throw all of the background behind the piece out the window. Early criticisms on abstract art were that "a child can do this" - and that has been a common criticism that has lasted for a ridiculously long time. So much that you will still get distasteful comments along those lines on art in general with "even a child can make art" (eg. See one of the Fiverr commercials that was on KZfaq about... was it 8~9 years ago...?) People simply don't understand Abstract art a lot of the time. And so a lot of people aren't going to place much value in it, unfortunately. I personally don't care too much about Abstract art, but I am aware of the background of where it stems from and parts of its original ideas and have some appreciation for its origins. On the other hand, half the people out there who see abstract art probably aren't even aware of what that background is, so they're not even going to have that as a base-line for appreciation

Hypermobile person here! I often draw characters in a set way because I reference myself for my works a lot. Oftentimes I actually have to scale down the flexibility of a character because I'm so used to seeing myself. Makes making characters a little challenging, but I roll with drawing body diversity anyway. These artists acting like drawing diversity is too hard are lying to themselves and are just douches. If I as someone with an abnormal body can draw characters just fine, there's no excuse for these quote un quote "artists"

22:45 The last video was someone responding to a DM they got. The DM said that the only reason they draw well is because of their expensive supplies. The author of the video used the opportunity to say that it doesn't matter how expensive your supplies are and that sometimes limiting yourself to fewer or cheaper tools might aid to your creative process. The comments are trying to agree, I guess.

@gaerekxenos 26 күн бұрын

^ This. Basically. But there are nuances that aren't touched on. Certain tools are indeed simpler to work with, and you cannot achieve the same effects without those specific tools. HOWEVER, this says nothing about drawing skill. Those extra effects are icing on top, *not* the main part of the cake. If the basic cake sucks, the cake sucks. The icing only helps cover those flaws a bit and makes the cake a bit more palatable, but isn't going to make the cake good if it is a total train-wreck that is burnt and dry with too much salt in it. I'd rather have a good basic cake without icing than a dried-out, burnt trainwreck that has icing drizzled on top An elaboration on the scenario with a specific example: Prismacolor Pencils. Those are typically the "top of the line" colored pencils and get pushed super, *super* hard for anyone drawing with colored pencil. Crayola colored pencils are considered the "cheap, school-supply" version. You can still make *very* good works with Crayola colored pencils. (Funny enough, Crayola isn't even bad quality -- there's actually *worse* colored pencils out there that are almost straight up chalk). Now... you want to know the irony? Crayola was actually recommended as one of the colored pencils to use by one of the books I read for drawing with colored pencils that I skimmed through more than a decade back - with the author distinguishing between different pencils being "hard wax" and "soft wax." Crayola was labeled a 'hard wax' pencil, Prismacolor (the basic line that gets promoted) is labeled 'soft wax.' They are used for different purposes (or require slightly different methods for the greatest effectiveness) when drawing. Prismacolor has a specific dedicated line for "hard wax" but that's another thing entirely, and probably wasn't relevant when that book was made Something on the opposite end of the spectrum with where the tool actually does have an impact is with digital art, in particular with programs. Some programs simply do not have the same functionality as others. But this is again going back to the cake analogy -- better tools make it easier to cover up and hide poor skill and things that are slightly lacking, but won't fix core issues for you automatically. Better ingredients and tools aren't going to hide the fact that you are mixing up salt for sugar and that you are burning everything in the pan. You can make a fancier cake with the fancier equipment and ingredients, but that's only possible if you actually have the skills to do so - otherwise you end up with an inedible abomination That said, certain cases... you *do* actually want to have the best tools possible if you plan on getting deep into art from the get-go. But that isn't in all cases and scenarios. When it comes to basic drawing and skills for drawing...? You don't actually need those higher end materials/tools when starting out for the basics. In fact, higher end materials can end up being a detriment as they become crutches that keep you from figuring out your mistakes instead. However, you *do* want to make sure you have the proper tools for the job. You don't want to have only one large flat brush or one large round brush for everything if you need different types of brushes to paint what you want. Imagine needing to paint details with only large brushes available... or maybe not even having a proper palate knife when mixing thicker paints and instead using a brush and contaminating everything with it instead. Or worse with every single brush cleaning container being absolutely filthy so whatever brush you try to use with it ends up getting dirty and contaminated - when you are trying to paint bright and vibrant colors!! (thanks afterschool art classes for children that didn't bother supplying proper materials so everything was a painful mess)

Professional grade art supplies don't make art creation easier but they usually guarantee longevity of the piece if it's traditional (lightfastness) , or are made with more expensive ingredients so you get brighter colors (certain minerals + less binders for certain paints). Here's some really fun information: You can make gallery quality art with things are cheap as crayons or crayola dye based markers, or ye old dollarstore highlighters and pens. You want to make it last forever? Draw in your sketchbook where closing the book will make your piece last longer. Scan it and print it. You can make great art with these cheapo things and make merch with it. I just wouldn't necessarily want to sell the original because it will fade quickly.

@Lim0n41k Ай бұрын

they do. you're right too but good supplies *do* make it easier. example: cheap colored pencils aren't soft so you need to apply much more force for the color payoff that you want, you're often would ruin your paper sooner. they also don't blend and can't be layered. - so yes you can use them of course but you will need to put in much more effort when could've got same results faster and easier

I hate drawing feet, I only draw characters with All Stars or boots, I dont have a reason to draw their toes, so I just do it, it's consistently a part of my style now lol. But I *do* know how to draw it, in case I ever need.

i'm actually familiar with the first guy's other content, and it makes this one look like satire about how art tutorials don't fit on tiktok, that they either end up with barely any detail or overstuffed with too much detail. it's also missing his trademark "why stop heeeeeeeeeere" his other tutorials are actually fairly decent, at least i've never had trouble following them, but i think those have more to do with what he covers, stuff that's just more suited to short instructions and don't involve maths.

To play devil’s advocate for ‘draw this not that’ tutorials somewhat, the most useful ones are the ones that point out common anatomy mistakes that may *look* okay on their own, until you compare them to the ‘correct’ drawing and realize ‘oh wait that does look off.’ The problem is that it is way too easy for someone to present a deliberate art style choice they don’t like as a ‘common anatomy mistake’ and it’s damn near impossible to tell the difference because it turns into a non-falsifiable statement. I think anime side mouth is a great example, it’s true that it’s not how IRL anatomy works, but it’s a deliberate art style choice that makes communicating emotion in profile view vastly easier and more natural looking depending on the art in question. *FullMetal Alchemist* has side mouth art, and it has some of the best expression work of any visual media period and straight up would not look as good if it were drawing “correctly.” But even to this day you’ll still find people who insist it’s an objectively incorrect way to draw side profiles, which is where it goes from ‘helpful advice’ to ‘trying to dictate how people should or shouldn’t draw.’

My art teacher a long time ago once told a story about a toilet seat, it was put in a museum because an artist wanted to provoke a question , the teacher asked us if it was art or not, I think now I understand it, someone had to have created it, which means someone somewhere, designed it, so it could be termed as art, because you use your brain in the same way for art, it was a pretty weird story, and not every piece has to invoke something in someone, sometimes it can just be, and people like it anyway. (Or was it the toilet itself? I can't remember)

as an engineer, construction lines are essential in schematics, but if they are not explained properly they are completely meaningless. a good example where the construction lines are not properly explained in drawing tutorial is the rule of thirds. it IS regurgitated and repeated ad infinitum, but rarely if ever is it actually explained properly. from tolerances, precise ratios for features within each third, the overshoot of each third, impact of perspective and more. most of those are left in the "just practice" category which means that every person learning is following the basic rules but than use a lot of trial and error on an already solved problem to reach the same conclusion.

I'd like to see you do a video discussing the problematic nature of entitled artists, particularly PacificNoir on deviantart. PN is a (Russian I think) realism artist who feels under threat whenever he/she sees any art done in a similar fashion, laying bold claims to drawing horse's eyelashes and mane-styles in certain ways and believing anyone who draws realistic horses are thieves. PN has harassed and somewhat threatened people and has a massive following, while also drawing some rather questionable content and being called out for directly tracing photos of horses down to the shadow while simultaneously having a meltdown over people "referencing" his/her art (aka anyone drawing in a similar style.) I've seen and heard plenty of claims like PN's over the 15 years I've been in the art community, but never all of these claims from one single person lol it's utterly bonkers! And PN gets away with it, mostly. PN's followers just lovebomb the heck outta any discourse and sometimes white knight/witchhunt

24:20 trying to say getting newer tools creates efficiency but without your skill to use them they are practically useless. Agreeing to the og vid that was basically saying having cheap tools creates limitations, but the light of it is that it promotes creativity to work with what you have. And even if you have the crazy expensive tools its not gonna magically make your art better.

The guy at 24:20 was saying that expensive art supplies are often easier to work with (smoother, more pigmented, etc.) but if doesnt mean much if you dont have the skill. If i spend a bunch of money on fancy oil pastels, it could make me faster at making the same piece, but it doesnt mean much if I dont learn proportions.

Me personally, my art style is kind of cartoony, could fall into the category of someone who’s spent about half their used lifespan learning to draw anime and only managed to make it look remotely like anime 2 years ago. These tips don’t work for me sometimes, but am I going to dismiss it as useless garbage or invalidate it? NOPE. These people have miles more experience than I do in the art field, and I know that I can’t do better yet. These people need to learn that sentiment too.

honestly i both appreciate and dislike the "know the rules [of art] before you break them" sentiment. on one hand, it is good to learn the fundamentals and there are a lot of good skills and concepts to learn, and its especially good for when youre trying to do a realistic / semi realistic style. but on the other hand, i see it used in an almost condescending context most of the time, and often its just used to put down other artists for not being "good" enough because they dont draw in a realistic style or arent "educated" enough in traditional styles. remember: theres no one way to make art. you dont need to get a billion different degrees from a bunch of fancy art schools just to be able to draw good. everyones styles and artistic journeys are different, and its okay if you dont fully understand the fundamentals of art as long as youre having fun. " know the rules before you break them "

@poppyalt7427 Ай бұрын

Really, they're always so show off-y or pompous. The Don't being a stylized or hyper simple doodle that usually still looks fine, and the Do being a speedpaint of their own style or realism that takes way more steps than it really needs. Or in the worst cases, they take 80 steps to draw the more boring bland person staring right into the camera in a boring pose.

@Mizu-xo Ай бұрын

They complete it in 24 steps because i guess they just want it to look perfect and because they’re accurate with details,while this does vary from one style to another i can kinda see where ur coming from,sometimes too much isn’t necessary and that less really is more (but that’s just my personal opinion)

I hate hate hate it when tutorials go ‘draw this little box here and add a circle’ or something. As an artist, I speak with confidence when I say that isn’t getting you anywhere, especially with anatomy. Because bodies are so different and can vary so much, you have to understand what you’re actually drawing in order to get better. I might be being over dramatic about this but 🤷‍♀

I really agree with the tiktok about how your art supplies don't equate to the quality of your art. Im a digital artist so its a little different but the same idea still stands. You can buy an expensive art program and it will probably make making art easier and allow you access to tools that help elevate your work. But you can also see absolutely GORGEOUS art created on mspaint that an inexperienced artist using the most expensive art program and tablet could not recreate. It has to do with your skill. It does suck when you can't afford the materials you want, but that shouldn't stop you from creating and trying to improve! I also agree that using more limited supplies can even boost creativity! Like sometimes I like to pull up mspaint and sketch with it, I find it can loosen up my lines and keeps me from overthinking. Its fun to work with and try to create the best thing you can, or just a little doodle, using such a limited program. In the end your artwork is going to reflect your skill, not the supplies you have.

I can see some of the thought process that goes into the "do this not that" images. The first 3 images shown especially. The "dont" images show perfectly valid ways of drawing the thing, but done in a way that beginner artists might do when the actual way they intended to draw it is closer to the "do" images. For example, the one that shows 2 different ways of drawing a stretch is something ive struggled with in the past - drawing the arms bent at a somewhat awkward angle that doesnt convey the stretch as well as allowing the arms to be straight and overlap the head like in the other image. The main problem is that the images, whether intentional or not, send the message that doing it the first way is inherently wrong in all situations, when theyre more useful as showing different ways you might try changing poses up if your first attempt doesnt look quite how you were intending.
