That sure was a great Super Bowl last night, wasn’t it? That Bad Bunny put on a great show, too. Didn’t understand a word of it. But I hate Trump and I hate ICE so it was an amazing performance.

Are you ok anon? The last few years have made it obvious that American sports are basically a front for gambling operations. They might as well all be run by the WWE at this point.

I just dont see myself drawing today. I need a pressing reason or deadline to draw, but I have all day to myself so I won't draw. If I only had an hour of free time, I'd be drawing right now.

I keep trying different discords but it always feels like I have to walk on glass around hypersensitive people to just make goofy jokes or talk about art that’s a little more dark themed, like horror or whatever.

I like how laid back 4chan is, but as an oldfag who doesn’t want to draw anime I feel really out of place and because of the anonymity it feels like I can’t make new friends or find cool artists to chat with

also I think I have an allergy to orange juice

>>7878487
I'm not young. The only thing that can salve this shitty existence is making things that didn't exist before the pencil touched the paper. Unless you're doing a job and getting compensated for it, making things for people that can't care less in the hopes they'll look in your direction is just masochism. If you make things for yourself then the result is honest work that someone will respond to and if no one else does then there's at least one person - (You).

We live in an era where every online space is dominated by women which will get offended at and have month long meltdowns over literally any thing, effeminate men and men who want female attention who will take their side, further boosted by drama chasers that will keep pouring gasoline on the smallest fires.
That creates a chilling effect where no one wants to say or show anything anymore, resulting in the current exodus of social media/internet users, with a lot of content creators complaining they aren't getting numbers/engagement anymore, getting all their art stolen by minors or jeets or quitting altogether because the jig is up and they can't grift anymore.

The best thing is to simply delete all social media (or at least stop posting) and let them turn against anyone until they cannibalize themselves.
The only winning move is not to play a rigged game.

i’m the same at both, probably because i do both digi+trad (life studies, imagination stuff, a whole range of things) for about the same amount of time. feels like if you really streamlined your digital process but rarely picked up a pencil your trad drawing’d come out kind of awkward from unfamiliarity.
i either open a canvas or open a sketchbook page and just start drawing interchangeably, they’re both just flat null spaces, so my hand knows what to do to get what i want out of my strokes as naturally as in digital, from familiarity.
>trad coming out wonky might also happen if the use of 3d models or tools only available on the digital front did a lot of the heavy lifting in your usual drawing process, and you had to go without w/trad. very understandable if that’s your jam, too.

You can even get deboosted if your posts are engaged with by bots or otherwise spammy and already deboosted accounts.

And then it's just zip, nothing in an instant. It was as if 12 hours of time had been magically added to the post, that's the level of engagement it sunk to immediately, on-off.
It's still managed to collect another 130 likes since then despite that, too, with one of the highest view:like ratios I've ever had on a post.

Anon, i just told you
>Accounts flagged by the site as bots/spam engaging with your posts will deboost your account as well by virtue of association
Algorithm does not mean what you think it does.
Algorithm only feeds you content and posts based on what you interact with and your cookies. It does not decide whether or not your posts do numbers.

If you get more bad accounts interacting with your posts, you will be deboosted since the automatic moderation system (not the algorithm) either puts your account into a review status to check if you are a bot or a spammer (temporarily freezing your account's visibility) or simply shadowbans your account if it checks too many flags, because your posts are getting engaged with and by bad accounts and thus you are put under the suspicion of being a bad account as well.
And bad/bot accounts always target posts that are doing numbers for their own visibility.

Even happens if you happen to engage with blue checkmarks as well if their engagement/followers are mostly bots/spam accounts or the post is filled with bad accounts as well.
Same shit happens on youtube with the comment section where your account will get "deboosted" even if bots reply to you or like your comment.
Online platforms are just fucked beyond salvation and it won't be long until people will be required to use their IDs to make online profiles.

Without any moderation system you will just get gore, bots and scams non-stop even way worse than it is now.

Nigger, I've gotten banned for having casual conversation with others in discord servers and other forums.

Modern day discord mods are just sheltered power tripping faggots. GDQ is a great example of this. Speedrunners have gotten banned for making jokes, not even edgy ones, just ones that the moderators deemed bad.

They are able to understand subtext and implications that even an actual reader might not notice. Yeah, I don't really know how they do that. So to me, that has always been pretty impressive and unexpected. I can't wait until they can "hear" music too.

Sure, they're fun for a bit. We like to think we're clever, but realistically anything you say to it has been part of the billions of conversations scraped off the internet or it has some context analogous to something from a novel or philosophical text or whatever. So it always has relevant content to string you along with. Just don't forget that.

Is that supposed to be impressive? Everyone's a CS major now. Unless you've been at FAANG it doesn't mean anything. My cousins with kids don't even push their kids to be doctors or lawyers anymore but software engineers and computer science fields.

Nice strawman you got going on over there. Holy shit you're cringe. Again, I ask what you're doing here when you could be farming karma on Reddit instead.
You wanna see some shit? You wanna see some REAL shit? I'll show you some real shit. Remember me referencing the Krita forum? Well, take a look at this fuckin' mindboggling nonsense I got on my FIRST FUCKING THREAD I posted on there. I had some faggot mod crawling all UP my ass policing my language and threatening punishment over words that I would have never in a MILLION fucking years ever thought would be "offensive". It was shocking. I could have been knocked over by a leaf. And like I said, you literally can't even post the word "crap" on that hellhole nanny state. I ended up leaving of my own volition after a few run ins like that because the place had obviously been overtaken by a cancer of overzealous, overbearing moral busybodies and turned into a giant fucking toddler crib with padded bars where it didn't matter what you said or did so much as how you said it, and god forbid you say anything at all actually offensive (or truthful) that goes against *CURRENT THING* because no amount of nicety will save you then. This is the kind of thing anons are talking about. Not your gay little headcanon that us poor hecking chuds are so maladjusted, toxic and retarded that we go into spaces where the rules say " U NO SAY NIGGER >:(", immeiately start spamming "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" and then when we get permab& go "abloo bloo bloo why is everyone so mean to us i cri evertiem :( " With these kinds of moralizing tyrants, you simply cannot be "nice" enough, and that atmosphere where you have to constantly think about what you say and how you say it lest the daycare gestapo's Independent Thought Alarm starts going off is fucking tiresome and oppressive.

Krita artists forum. Nudes are allowed (there's a way to tag and hide/blur out "sensitive content") and there is an actual NSFW section (for cheesecake/softcore porn, basically). It's fucking stupid that the place is supposedly a 13+ space to begin with, though. It should be strictly for adults to post and discuss art and the program. Children should be going to Deviantart to get flashbanged by "artistic" black and white photos of some dude's cock or going to Amino to get groomed by some autistic pedophile furfag or some shit like that instead. I'm fucking sick of adult spaces being ruined to cater to children. It's not like a kid can't just tick the "Yes, I'm totally 18+ years old tee hee" button when they create their account and see Boomer Bob Schlob's amateur copy of a Playboy pinup Made With Krita™ anyways. To be fair, though, that's not the *real* reason why the mods are such heavy-handed insufferable fucking faggots, though- or rather just the one, the others I had any interaction with were just kind of spineless. It's because, tale as old as time, some sanctimonious no-life fat fuck has striven to get into a position of power so that he can be a powertripping petty tyrant over a little internet kingdom.

I've had a few weeks off work and suddenly had an insane, unprecedented burst of creativity with unlimited time to indulge in it so I've been doing nothing but drawing for three weeks straight, literally every waking hour that's not occupied by small chores, and I'm still bursting at the seams but over the last few days my wrist is getting progressively more pained since it's not used to so much nonstop brutalisation at once and I know I need to find something else to do to avoid hurting myself physically as well as mentally but I have so little time before I'm back at work and have no time to indulge anymore

>>7880772
I'm kind of in the same boat so it feels hypocritical to give you advice. But if you're not doing so already, definitely take breaks every 20 minutes and do hand stretches (but don't overstretch). I personally also bought a brace to force my wrist to not bend weirdly when I draw, this has helped
I also will admit I skip a day or if I really don't want to skip I do something braindead easy that doesn't require a lot of wrist/finger action from me, like gestures

>>7880773
Yeah, I'm definitely going to be taking better care going forward. I pushed through like an idiot like "yeah my wrist hurt after drawing for 3 hours straight, but it feels fine now in the time it took to eat lunch, so I'll just get back to it until dinner" and now my wrist still hurts after a full night's sleep lol
Definitely gonna take the day off, do some stretches, maybe busy myself with chores that have built up around me, and pray. I've known people who've dealt with tendonitis/RSI and that's really not something I wanna fuck around with

>>7880737
I should have given context, I formatted my computer a while ago (and it doesn’t work anymore) and I lost my phone which had the backup. I still hate the idea of posting my art online and most social media is not for me but I lost a lot of my digital work by not having a cloud archive.

how do I draw a lot without having to draw for hours??? This has been bothering me for years, if I could with for a power to help me draw it would be the power to super speed so I could draw more in less time.

>>7880861
avoid bad brush strokes

>>7880861
Practice and git gud. Then you’ll draw faster

>>7880861
Figure out the part of the drawing process that's slowing you down the most and work on improving your speed or streamlining it.

Does curing depression improve art?

>>7881212
It should, the whole depressed artist archetype is dumb and shouldn't be romanticized. I think you make much better art if you're not wanting to die every minute of every day. I will say that I created more and enjoyed it more when things were better.

Bipolar disorder 2 here. When I'm depressed and feeling shitty, I can't really draw at all. When I'm normal I can draw, and when I'm hypomanic I can REALLY draw. I'd say yeah. Though of course there is a bit of difference between clinical
>brain says you get NO happy chemicals, why? because fuck you and kys that's why
depression, and perpetual negative emotions brought on by your thought patterns like
>there is no inherent meaning to life, we're all going to die someday, society is going to collapse and the sun will explode, everything is fake and gay
Meds will fix the first but not the latter. They'll prescribe them to both anyways. The latter might be less of an hindrance to the actual act and ability of making art, maybe it'll even be a motivator, although maybe it'll make your art whiny and gay, idk.

>>7257338
late to the show but at the time of this post I crashed and burned not due to art but because life threw unexpected expenses my way but now my expenses are extremely low and I don’t have to worry about income while not having a regular 9 to 5 so now I can implement this idea without worries. I’m in the best time in my life to give it 100% to drawing and it’s probably my last shot to make the most of it while I still can.

I realized it's just not worth forcing yourself to draw when you don't feel like it. You're just stressing yourself in return of a slightly higher output. Honestly, I'd rather take it easy. Yeah, I might never become a pro artist or mangaka this way, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be from the start. I'm just a hobbyist artist...

I wish i could organically have people gauge my art so I can know if it sucks hard or not, I posted in the power level thread 2 months ago and I got 1 dude saying my stuff looked good rating it quite high and a bunch of other dudes telling the first guy he was wrong and giving quite helpful advice as to how I can improve, and while i'm thankful, the entire ordeal left me having no idea how my work is really percieved by other people (the second batch of guys didn't really rate it). Am I too hung up on this, is this something I shouldn't care about? I've tried to not think about this for a while because I really hate the idea of being dependent on other people's validation to draw but it's at the forefront of my mind nowdays. I dunno why but just typing this out I feel flustered and a little guilty.

Splitposting to give you a TINY bit of credit:

Human roleplayers, while they possess the interaction someone might crave and all of that, its exceptionally hard to find someone who would do a premise or set of characters so precisely to your taste. Like, I can't find someone who'll GM a bunch of busty alpha Pokemon in the Hisui setting for your self insert, dialing the tone to treat them more as monsters and not Pokemon, and then steadily bad end you. To find a human that'll write that shit with you it might take years of active hunting, or years of refining how and where to find just the person.

But, ignoring flaws like one system might have hallucinations or not have searching capacity, or the system that does have searching capacity but has porn and moral guardrails, by the time you spent an hour setting up everything you may as well have just jacked off to your imagination for 4 minutes.

Just like art, roleplayers do it the hard and long way for little payoff because they like to. For anyone whos done internet roleplay proper its appeal or draw is no more than a cute toy.

drawing well is easier than drawing bad. a shitty drawing takes hours and grinds you and wears out your motivation. Drawing something beautiful and soulfil will fill you with determination while you draw it. It just flows out your fingertips.

>my pic on DA got almost a thousand views in about 3 days, almost beating a pic I posted a year ago

>>7878674
Monke wasn't contrasting/funny enough. Maybe he would make point more clear with Hello Kitty or something.

I'm an autist who just wants to draw the same thing over and over again with no intention to ever improve. But my art seems to be improving anyways. It definitely looks a lot better but I feel like it's getting much more soulless.

Howdy guys, non-artist here who's never commissioned anything either. Is it kosher to send skeb commission requests that just contain "your favorite character in your favorite pose" or something like "try out a technique youve been meaning to experiment with"?
Just kind of free-form comms. There's an artist I would love to support, but I've not got any particular art in mind for a request. Thanks!

Well first I would tell you to train yourself to draw even when feeling bad because part of making it means drawing when you don't feel like it.

There's your problem, there are consequences for not caring what others think, and usually it leads to stagnation because you won't listen to their guidance. The way society works is that the people around us are the safety guards in order to work smoothly in society and get what we want. There's a reason why people look down on drinking before 12PM, because that's a one way ticket to becoming an alcoholic, and when your parents say you're getting fat to keep you healthy and not allow you to succumb to vices. You have vices/ bad habits in your drawing that gives you results you don't like and you don't know how to fix it, you have a blindspot other people can see it if you posted your work and asked for genuine advice (idk about here because this place is full of begs and crabs but posting comes with the insecurity that you haven't fixed your mistakes and will nudge you towards giving your best) maybe someone will see what you don't.

Take it from someone who didn't care what people thought and still suffer the consequences for it. Not caring has a cost and that cost is securing an 'L' in society. Of course there's a balance. Caring too much can hurt you as well, but that's when discernment comes in.

Same here. I think I'm going crazy. I see posts without captions become hit tweets even when the account itself has barely any followers. HOW does that even happen? Some big account may have retweeted but how did they even see it in the first place? It's so tiring.

>>7884694
dont give a shit. Im saying it

Is it a conscious decision to only draw in one artstyle? I find myself drawing in various and radically different styles and it's natural to me. I don't have socials so there's no external pressure to have a unique style but you can just have multiple accounts anyway so why don't artists do this?

>>7884842
if you practice one style a lot it can feel like the most natural way of expressing yourself. like a style of speaking, it can be something you subconsciously fall back on in, or consciously emphasis at times to make a point. it can become a voice you identify with. you also might get better at one style than all others, and so use it constantly to make 'good' work. theres also career incentive to be known for a certain style. all these things catalyze eachother.

I wonder how some artists manage to post personal drawings, commissions, and other projects while also maintaining a personal life. I tend to focus on one thing at a time, not doing anything else until I'm finished. This has led me to my current situation: I'm devoting all my time to commissions from one client while fantasizing about drawing my own work. I also feel guilty for leaving other clients waiting indefinitely.
>>7884242
I can relate to what you're saying, anon. I used to draw spontaneously, coming up with ideas on the spot without giving them much thought. Now, I plan everything until I'm completely sure of what I'm going to draw. On the other hand, I think many artists are like that.

>>7884895
they're either really quick, schedule ahead or it's multiple people using the same account

Looks like that Istebrak permabeg retard is making the rounds again

Todays such a beautiful day... I dont want to ruin it by drawing.

>>7885787
Remember that it could always get worse instead of better and all happiness is just a passing breeze

I'm not even enjoying myself but I have to keep going. I can't even draw for fun anymore, any second I try feels like time wasted.

i make that in one day as a temp

you can't just draw anything, you are limited by some restrants: you want to draw things that are worth drawing, you want to draw things that original, you want to draw things you like. Its like saying each possible drawing is a number, so there are infinitely many of them. Well sure, every single decimal number is a drawing but they're shit drawings. If the whole numbers are all the drawings that are actually palatable to look at, then the prime numbers are drawings that are actually amazing and will do well. There are infinite prime numbers but they start being spaced apart so far and are so big that you'll never find them.

You can learn a lot in a day

>>7886249
What the fuck is a temp

Been drawing all day and suddenly realised the underside of my forearm is fucking coated in graphite. I've just been walking around like this, like a greasy mechanic

>>7886565
ladies love the greasy mechanic look

>>7886565
>>7886576
unironically the one time I got aggressively pursued as an adult, it was when I walked into a mall sweaty and covered in grease to cancel my cable
in fact it was so aggressive it made me paranoically suspicious

>>7886579
heh sounds interesting. im imagining a funny alternative scenario of how it went

>>7886576

somewhat related, I had a tight pelvic floor with made me feel like pissing all the time and that lead into diarrhea with anal fissuring. I could barely sit down at its worst. Once it got a little better (enough to sit down and bear the pain) I found that drawing and other focus intensive activities where i stayed in the same spot for a while felt pretty good and did that till I recovered

I think I got golfers elbow and looking it up it takes months to heal wtf

Been struggling with alcohol lately. 4 days sober and my brain is craving whiskey so bad. Been going to kava bars and drawing to take my mind off it. Anyone else /substanceabuse/ here? I feel like drugs and drinking draws creatives like flies to honey.

Weird how when left to my own devices I will just be a slovenly piece of shit, hardly any different from a drip of paint sliding down a freshly painted wall but I am convinced if I was forcefully entered into a military training bootcamp that I'd be able to run through the whole thing. It's like I'm an RTS-unit that is just waiting for orders.

watching an art course and just suddenly feeling like I grew up without ever getting a chance to act or think for myself which is why I'm constantly scared of every little decision in any process and just the simple act of following and watching a course of my own will is opening up a new mentality

Fascinating new grift of AI:
https://www.youtube.com/@Dextermimsjr/videos

This guy is pretending to sing AI songs, and no one in the comments is the wiser. Everyone is saying he's the next big thing, super talented, etc. But even the vid descriptions are AI generated, and there's no disclaimer on AI use at all. He has never done music before, and all of a sudden this year he can play multiple instruments and sing like a pro. Some of his AI music videos have broken a million views.

He's avoided commenting on the situation, probably so he can't be accused of straight up deception in the future. He can't help that people assumed he sang this, he was just making a goofy ai lip sync vid! Idc really, just found this so interesting.
