/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

The only comic that could be said to have done this successfully is homestuck. It had a lot of things going for it and it still ended up as a double edged sword, causing insane delays and hightening expectations to a ridiculous degree.

Unless you have a similar intentionally-shitty clipart infested style and are the kind of no-lifing autistic gremlin that Hussie is, I'd suggest you refrain and just make a regular webcomic. They still make money, sometimes.

Obligatory.

Go digital and they'll merge into a horrible multi-appendaged nightmare skill that's impossible to master even in principle. You will feel stupid constantly but the art will improve regardless.

What kind of drooling autist wants to spend ages on a perspective grid attaching lines to other lines at an angle? What is soulful about that? Is that kind of busywork what you aspire to as an artist? Nobody has ever been moved by something like that. It's like taking pride in doing math problems in your head when you have a calculator.

WTF why do cintiqfags do this bros? Is there there something fundamentally wrong with this technology that makes them do this fucking liberal rick and morty reddit shitty fucking art? There is literally no other explanation, the device fucking emanates soi, holy shit. I am very intelligent.

It's not just a meme. The term means that you're repeating the same shapes instead of expanding your visual library and developing your ability to visualize and construct 3d forms. Symbol drawing hurts artists who draw fictional or cartoony work the most, because it's harder for them to correct their work with real-world studies.

>side mouth is a symptom of easy animation, not having to move the jaw.
I'm well aware that it's caused by low budgets, but it's still a symbol -- a symbol repeated as if it were a piece of clip art, regardless of how appropriate it is for the situation -- you retard. Drawing symbols is symbol drawing, I don't know where idiots like you get your misinformation, but this is a pretty simple and self-evident fact, and any literature on the subject will tell you.

Another way to describe symbol drawing would be something like >pic related. Except instead of clip art being pasted into your piece from another file, the clip art is in your mind, an extremely specific shape you have memorized and force into the page rather than drawing what should actually be there (or trying anything new).

Please stop spreading your brain-dead misinformation.
