I'm kinda wondering what classifies as an actual tantrum here Like I'm not even really annoyed by what you're saying cuz y'know whatever I wasn't gonna post the boobie robot lady here at all but I did it because I thought your reaction would be really funny and I was right about that. I also don't exactly see what you're saying about the art world needing to be cruel. I get that it needs to be when someone is reacting in a way like their art is amazing when it clearly isn't and they need humility, that's a thing that has to happen. But you're not really expressing anything other than flagrant disregard towards anybody that doesn't appeal to your interests in subject matter. you've yet to make an actual, structured claim as to WHY something is off, wrong, or bad in any way. loga mira did, however. And that's good!

Or it's just common sense rather than just expecting to go off of 'it looks like a barbie doll, fix it' and literally nothing else. You don't have to do all those things at once (according your lovely hyperbole) but atleast acting like a human being and not a prick certainly helps. but here we are, bowing down to a special snowflake because they're upset at a picture of a lady with 4 boobs.

It's kinda rude in the sense that you went from naught to gently caress you in one post with no prompting in a "post your art regardless thread" and not a "I'm specifically looking for critque" thread, a "Get tetchy at things I find distasteful" thread, or a "gently caress you we're not obligated to be nice about your drawing you little bitch" thread. If you want to be helpful, help the guy who posted right before you asking for help. Watch out though,they're depicting a naked woman. And it's anatomically iffy!

Yes, Szmitten is the correct-est fellow so far. Tropo, I don't think our subject matter interests one another. You have to realize this is okay. You wouldn't enjoy it if I were as antagonizing to your artwork with my own specific set of values. And I wouldn't do it, because turnabout is fair play. I'm not interested in addressing art the way you do. All I see is fury. I mean has this ever worked out for you? Shouting at people to change their stripes? I'm not closed to any idea, but the discourse has to be all peace and love, or it's never going to work. I've been in real life critiques, and it's the capital reason I don't put much stock in your own story. Where I was, people pinned their works to a corkboard wall, sat back to look at them all, took turns getting to each others pieces, making civilized comments, making sure to have at least one thing they like and at least one thing they think could use improvement, but often more. And other people would pipe up if they heard something they agreed with. And, generally, improvement was had by all. I never saw one person crying. What I hear you describing sounds more like a crab barrel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipg4EL_JUyE Just some needlessly aggressive thing for people who want to get their crabby rocks off. "IT'S A DOG EAT DOG WORLD, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN." It's cute and edgy for a second, but not necessary. It's baggage. And I'm sorry that was your experience. It was bad luck, and you deserved better. I would be more interested to discuss how I can get my poses to look less stiff and unnatural as Loga said. It is something I wrestle with. Until the other day I was going about the idea of gesture drawing totally wrong. And if he said something you meant, he got it across better.

Until the other day I was going about the idea of gesture drawing totally wrong. And if he said something you meant, he got it across better. Oh hey invite for constructive commentary let's show them how it's done. You have some actiony drawings and they look pretty good. Let's talk about the others. Drawing a standing character is almost always visually boring, and people doing mundane tasks (pool girls in an earlier photo) is also boring. You can breathe some more life into things by setting up actions in your scene. Symmetry is bad, and theres a lot of it in the four armed girl. When you stand casually, you probably almost never have a completley righted spine, and your hips are probably never completley level, feet straight. She doesn't have legs, which makes this difficult to conceptualize, but reducing symmetry as if she did would help make her look more alive. Use yourself as a guide, pay attention to how you stand, check positions you want to draw for comfort, since people won't generally sit or stand in an uncomfortable way for long. Similarly, with the pool girls scene, drawing one of your girls losing balance removing her pants or something and the others reacting to that would basically introduce more asymmetry and frame a scene with more purpose. The key is, you almost never in life see people in symmetric poses unless they're forcing it. Having your characters interact more also brings them more to life. The pool girls image is well drawn but everybody looks isolated and stiff. You should also probably practice drawing fat people and others with less slender builds. This makes the symmetry thing way more obvious, too. Everybody knows a person that manages to be attractive and not stick thin, identify how that works in your mind, then draw some of those. With that said, your linework is great and I like your backgrounds and color choices a lot. Just breathe more life into the characters. I try to do all these things in my art that sucks but at least it looks pretty alive.

I really have no interest in being nice to men who constantly objectify women in their art. if you guys drew anything at all besides unrealistically sexy fetishized women in painful looking sexy poses constantly and had any interest whatsoever in drawing things that don't get you hot and bothered maybe I'd be kinder but as it stands, nah. this is my constructive critique: look at actual women when you draw. don't use porn and anime as reference. treat your female characters like people instead of mindless cheesecake and maybe you'll stop creeping people out.

You can make your point without coming off like an rear end. Yes Colon's stuff is a little odd, but to be perfectly honest you were the only one who seemed to be outright offended or weirded out by the material. Going back several pages you'll also see Scribblehatch has been posting art including a variety of subject matter, and yet you felt like it was appropriate to jump down their throat just because they shared something you didn't like. Yeah, they probably should have just linked the NWS stuff as they had before. But that's not a reason to spew vitriol at them either. I feel like you should just take a step back, look at the situation when you've calmed down, and hopefully apologize for acting as if a couple of pieces of digital artwork had actually hurt you. As for my own bit of small critique coming from someone who can't draw a damned stick figure, Scribblehatch I feel like the other artwork you've shared earlier in the thread is of higher quality.

this has been bubbling up for awhile and their response to my original critique was what pushed me to finally lay it out there. it is a subject that is personally important to me as a female artist and it needed to be said. people seem scared to death to step on anyone's toes in this subforum and it's absurd-- I'm not going to apologize for being mean on the something awful forums, especially not when it's about someone's sex drawings. if the mods disagree with my tactics they can probate me. I've said my piece.

As a side note, art really is all about "objectifying", "dehumanizing", and other such scares. You see a person as a collection of geometric shapes, color spots, muscles, fat, bones, hair. Sometimes you pay a random person to just sit around and be quiet. And moving down on the wikipedia article 1. Reduction to Body: the treatment of a person as identified with their body, or body parts;[2] 2. Reduction to Appearance: the treatment of a person primarily in terms of how they look, or how they appear to the senses;[2] 3. Silencing: the treatment of a person as if they are silent, lacking the capacity to speak.[2] Hell, thats any figure drawing class. Of course the teacher will tell you to capture the model's various other implied qualities, but they still come from the artist's mind..

According to the extremely watered down wikipedia article anime boobs drawn from imagination are better because at least you aren't actively oppressing someone while drawing them. Noones getting paid to essentially act like human furniture.

Troposphere posted:this has been bubbling up for awhile and their response to my original critique was what pushed me to finally lay it out there. it is a subject that is personally important to me as a female artist and it needed to be said. I was discussing this in PM's with Scribblehatch, and I'll explain to you what I explained to him because both of you have a point. Nudity is a thing in art that is practically step 1, because it's anatomy, and anatomy is important. Getting this step down is a big deal for artists. And even doing it for one body shape is a major accomplishment. A lot of people get stuck in a rut here because they get positive feedback and it forms a loop. But... His drawings aren't exactly pornography, and it's not like all he draws are girls sitting spread eagle. But the drawings with nudity lack diversity and focus (meaning, the images seem to be mostly about the nudity and not something else), which is also a thing. I don't think he's intending to be offensive. I don't think you're trolling either. I do think you guys won't see eye to eye on this, and I do think it's a major derail that was spent mostly in anger and not productively. I also hate the lack of diversity in many artists work and the art websites that contain nothing but generic nudity, risque poses, and junk. But, the first thing I draw when designing a character is a semi-clothed figure to get the anatomy laid out. I have seen many people misstep in their personal art journey/curriculum and get stuck drawing naked ladies because it gets them positive feedback and fans. But it doesn't mean that all nudity is porn, or that all male artists that draw female nudity are doing so to objectify women. But, your criticism is valid, and was echoed by two of us in addition to you. So, it was a valid point, made in an confrontational way, people got mad at words on the internet, and now this thread has a whole page of  .If you dropped the confrontational (even on SA...), your point would've been both valid and more difficult to dismiss.

maybe, but I'm not trying to win a debate or anything, just voicing my opinion. I have taken many figure drawing classes and draw nude women occasionally on my own time myself but there's an obvious difference between artistic nudity and using objectifying angles focusing on butts and tiny waists and unrealistically large racks (a lot of time in the same image which isn't even anatomically possible). it just shows what the artist thinks is important, and it certainly isn't the character, but the character's sexual organs. it makes it look like you don't give a poo poo about women and a lot of women find it gross and I don't think male artists even take it into consideration or realize they're doing it. this is why the whole hawkeye initiative thing was such a hit, it shows how ridiculous the whole situation is. so I'll repeat: please look at real women when you draw. cheesecake is fine and good but have a tiny shred of self awareness. there are so many male artists that flood the field with stuff like this and it's exhausting and depressing.

Male artists constant.y draw porn all the time at every opportunity. Maybe girls too idk. So the real issue is what you share with others. Personally I believe artists should be able to show off anything without fear of castigation or that it may hurt them professionally somehow. That is, if they pick the right place and moment to do it. Anime boobs in a forum that's notoriously averse to such things: bad choice. Anime bbobs on Tumblr: good, fine. Then there's the issue of épatage… but if your intention is to shock ppl then don't act all offended, unless that's also part of the performance. Basically let artists draw w/e they want and ask them to be socially responsible with how that present it, not with what or how they draw. Edit: also the context of the artist's own work matters to me, I hate when illustrators who mainly do children's books go on to illustrate like Kama sutra in the same goddamn style thy use in kids books. loga mira fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jun 20, 2015 |

Their avatar doesn't count they didn't actually post the full image by that logic I post my art everytime I make a post but that doesn't mean anyone knows or cares. Also I don't get how I'm 'objectifying' when I've only seriously shown like maybe 2 or 3 boobie robots the whole time I've been posting in CC. I try to vary my artwork alot and most of the things I draw aren't meant to be raunchy. Diabetes Forecast fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Jun 20, 2015 |

This has been quoted twice now, and is simply not true. I was also creeped out by the combination of a big-eyed childlike cutesy faces on mechas that otherwise impersonated grown-up anatomy, but I said nothing. I couldn't quite articulate why it was bothering me. I didn't mind the quadboob, though I did think "this would've been so easy to artistically censor with some conveniently placed hair flowing down the tits" when I saw it. Here is some digital arts to confirm my validity as a digital artist, I am totes allowed an opinion on the subject.
