Nothing wrong with using porn as reference as long as you don't blatantly trace it

Imagine you had the perfect life. Ever since you were little you had a perfect net of support and unlimited resources to allow you to fully pursue art since thats what you love, all of this paired with the best instruction money can buy at any stage of your life. While growing up everyone you ever met didn't hestitate to tell you how special you were by being both pretty and talented. Eventually just by virtue of doing what you love constantly on this perfect life you were able to easily transition into making a living out of it, all in all you never had any real problems in life.

The art you produce is technically extremely solid, but what about the emotions it conveys? Well, you cannot convey sadness, rage, despair, angst, desperation or any negative emotion whatsoever because all of these concepts are absolutely alien to you, maybe the only time you were sad is having a pet or relative die, as a matter of fact you can't even begin to understand why people insist on being sad. In the same way you are unable to convey happy emotions in a true meaningful way to the viewer, for you they're a given and they come to you as naturally as breathing. How can you even meaningfully portray a peaceful scene if you were devoid of any conflict? How can you portray the triumph of love over hate if no one has ever hated you at all in your life other than those internet meanies? Well, you just can't. So in the end you just end portraying what's there at the moment and nothing more. Faces, people, animals and places devoid of real emotion and unable to convey anything meaningful or moving to the viewer.

She is more technically skilled than 95% of /ic/ but I would say half of /beg/ and all of /int/ are straight better artists by virtue of having to deal with dread in one way or another.
