The Art Community "Court" Needs To CALM DOWN ☆Topic + Speedpaint☆

All right! So because the frustration of Art Style Policing keeps getting out of control, I wanted to talk about it!

Also yesssss tragic romance is fantastic! I actually struggle not to use it in too many stories so that I don't overdo it.

    I suffered the whimsical child to a perfectionist who hates everything that isn't ideal pipeline for awhile and it really does just make you miserable. Constant burnout, self-hatred, stopped drawing for weeks, would take down old art and barely post new ones. Pretty much forgot I was a passionate hobbyist who draws for * fun * and little else. Once you abandon that mindset it's so much better and actually exciting again. The less stressed you are the better you do, and If I think somethings bad, and I don't want to post it, I might post it anyways and just go, "well it's not the greatest, but it was an experiment and I learned from it lol." Then move on and be content and happy to start a new drawing.

    at the end of the day, what would help all of this is kids being less online. Most of the folks fostering this kind of cruelty are usually pretty young, often middle schoolers. And middle schoolers are notorious for being incredibly cruel and apathetic in a lot of ways, along with falling into "us vs. them" mentalities. If you're a young learning artist, don't seek validation for your art online. Show your friends, family, and people who might be interested in real life. Ideally, the healthiest thing to do is to stay off social media to be honest.

    . i've always found it easier to make original content, rather than fan content. that's because whenever i'd make fan stuff, i'd be constantly worried about making the characters OOC. but when it comes to original stories, there's no reason to worry, since they're my characters and i CAN'T make them OOC! i was in a cycle for *years* regarding this, which would look like: join fandom > make fan content > be worried that my fan content is breaking canon > make up my own characters and setting within the world, so that i'm not breaking canon or going OOC > realize that what i've made only barely relates to the canon and could be an original, inspired story if i were to rework some minor details > remove the story from fandom and make it into an original story > now i don't have fan characters anymore and therefor don't partake in the fandom > rinse and repeat anyways, i think it would be cool if you made a video talking about the phenomenon where artists will draw a character from media SO MUCH that it eventually just turns into their oc. i don't think there's a term for this, but i've seen it a lot and it's even happened to me!! :O :D ^^

    I totally agree. The whole “using references is cheating” argument is so stupid. Also this is not the video where I expected a Felidae reference but when I tell you I got so excited. It was one of my favorite movies as a child (I know, probably not the right age to watch it) and I still like it a lot

    What?!! Is reference cheating?? Hell, I trace shamelessly if I just want to get started drawing. But don't use it all the time. If you want to learn how to draw without tracing, then practice eyeballing. Use only vertical and horizontal lines to see what lines up with what. (I have videos where you can see the lines I'm talking about) If you want to draw without eyeballing and draw from imagination then you have to study and observe whatever you want to draw. If you want to draw anatomy/muscles then you have to observe bodybuilers from every angle and understand how muscles twist and bend ect. But drawing without reference is just ridiculous, you have to, if you want to get better

    Nice explanation about the visual library. I sometimes come up with something that I think it's original only to rewatch a movie from my childhood and see it there. I didn't even remember. I also feel these types of issues come up more frequently with the younger fandom.

    I don't know it big think about people saying you are using reference but one thing I remember learning from one of art teacher told me If you are thinking something in your mind that is not going to work and always best to used reference. I also used reference pose for my animation class, and I always had to show were I got that picture for using resource and credit the artist.

    Honestly, not the film I thought you were going to say when talking about Lion King and its supposed "copycat" XD I thought you were going to say Kimba which also didn't copy from it. Anyway, I very much agree with your stance on references. How else are artists supposed to learn to get to the point where they don't need to rely so heavily on references and start creating their own poses by changing up an existing one? And yeah, definitely, so long as it's not a 1:1 copy, it's fine to reference. Sometimes I'll doodle over an existing drawing to learn its structure and volume but I never use that doodled over drawing in my art work. More as a way to go, "Oh, so that's how it was made." And then I use that knowledge to create another shape of my own with a volume that makes sense thanks to what I've learnt. Brilliant video!
