/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

The technology itself seems to be received positively but AIchuds aren't. Am I in an echo chamber or is the public perception of the AI "artists" being more and more negative?

Most of these "decentralized" networks have gone after loli and unfederated networks that didn't have such restrictions, shit's fucked.

I made a pawoo, but after posting 20+ SFW pictures into the void, I stopped.
I get enough lack of engagement on Twatter, don't need another ghost town.

I've measured the 2m and the 1,72m girls in these manners:
- Vagina to top of the head: Difference was X
- Bottom of feet to knee: Difference was also X
- Knee to vagina: Difference was almost 1.5 X.

So I conclude femurs are major players in height, but it's still close enough that you can change height just by stretching a sketched body vertically while maintaining head size.
Shorten the torso and lower legs to give the femur more space if you want to be more realistic, but no need to, just attribute it to human variation.

Then again, artists have a tendency to shorten torsos and make legs longer for appeal, so maybe only stretch the legs (and the torso a bit if the change in height is too pronounced.

Rather than thinking that way, you should focus on getting time off EVERY DAY.

Do you feel like not drawing right now, but know you should?
Then go away, do the dishes or go for a walk, do something mindless (no listening to music or podcasts while you do it, faggot).

While you're doing your drone task, let your mind run free.
Then get back and say "ok, just quick doodle".

If you do this every day, you're already getting somewhere.

Because the basics are boring and are being taught in 500 different ways by phonies, pros and robots alike.

It's like trying to learn a foreign language and each day a person from a different country gives you grammatical tips and teaches you some vocabulary.

And when you decide to stick with one guy, you then discover you were learning Burmese or Somali or some other retarded shit language.

Let's compare drawing with language learning:

- You can improve your observation skills (listening/reading).
- You can improve your execution, like your line precision (pronunciation).
- You can improve the amount of concepts you know (vocabulary).
- You can improve how well you put everything you know together as a coherent drawing (grammar).

You can improve your pronunciation and be able to imitate a native to a T, but that doesn't mean you're able to speak the language.
You can only imitate, copy. Improving this is fast, but there is a low ceiling to hit and once you're there you'll not improve much more.

You can improve your grammar by studying techniques like composition, rendering, color theory, proportion etc. This will give you flexibility, but learning grammar is the least fun and it's useless without context. Meaning you can study adverbs for a month; unless you read a fun book and see the adverbs in action, you won't fully "get it".
With drawing, of course, you have to draw new pieces and apply the "grammar" you've learned constantly to see it in context, making sense out of it.
There are only so many grammar points you can learn, so you will also rarely feel this part of your craft improving on a daily basis.

Last, we have vocabulary. Vocabulary is the biggest bulk of learning a language. You might not know ANY grammar, but if you can piece a bunch of words together, they will make some sense, whereas the opposite is not true.
You learn vocabulary daily. An adult know 20.000+ words per language.
If you learn 10 words a day, it will take you 6 years to reach that "basic" 20.000 vocabulary.

Meaning there is a LOT to learn. And while you may be shit at grammar, shit at pronunciation, shit at speaking, you are still absorbing words that will stay useful once you improve all these aspects later on.

You can learn how to draw new things every single day and add it to your library.
Make little studies, can you learn how to draw 10 new things every day?

OP, the pic you posted is by a furry who has had a quite big following for as long as I can remember.

So no, going "meme youtuber" is not a way to make it, she MADE IT first and resorted to meme animations later to keep it going.

Are you a woman? Maybe he's hitting on you through money, happened to a few friends.

But it's his loss, take the money and deliver what was agreed upon.

If you want to entertain us, post an example of your art and the price range you're being paid.
