copying instead of learning the basics are also the reason why most """"attempt"""" to emulate "ANIME!!!" art style fails in horrible ways.
They just see through the caricature, not looking that a bunch of "manga eyes/proportion" is just a twisted real life human anatomy--
I wanna make some kind of tip for newcomer artists as a response to AIbros crying out "art isn't accessible boo hoo I dont wanna learn for many years"
art takes long to improve if you keep getting intimidated by looking at other works/references
GIGANTIC-A$$ THREAD BELOW🧵
kinda funny doi did an sa/nt se/ya parody with artemis when he could just go for athena instead
tried to find some ns/fw tutorials because the lotbw doujin demands me to draw cursed stuff beyond my skills.
I don't wanna go to seedy webs (ex : the hub) that gives my laptop cyber STDs so I went to pixiv
got cursed images instead
introduction to new people who followed this account.
I draw tons of SMT fanart back then (mostly shitposting and pixel art quality), make my own SMT-style youkai demons, even made some gundam fanart
but these days I take a break from fandom and draw superniche lotbw fanart LOL
