>young artist follows me
>asks me for advice and tutorials
>I link him unhelpful DA-tier tutorials and give him platitudes that'll stunt his development
>he asks for refs
>I tell him I don't have any (I actually have 20gigs) and just to use google images
>report all the uploaded resources I can find to try to get them taken down
Who else /crab/? I'm not going to apologize, art is a zero sum game where only a small percentage of people will be able to make it. There's a finite number of industry jobs and patreon bux to milk, the less people that make it the better it is for the rest of us.

What's the best 3d program to use to draw figures over? Making a comic so I don't have time to draw everything by hand

what's the fastest way to git gud with the least amount of effort?

a lot of us are busy with school or work, so shortcuts are necessary.

is porn an effective use of references? sometimes I'm reading doujins and it feels like the artist is just tracing porn scenes and changing the heads to be in their own style.

is this the key to cashing in on the horny nerd patreon bux? just trace porn?
