Is the shibe ok?

Maybe you should open your eyes for once and think about why this is the case.

>>2168991
Show us the drawings.

This, being a competent artists isn't all about how gud your skills are. It's also about being able to analyze what the public or client sees in your work and use that to make better art that people want to look at.

Stick to what you like OP, most people are braindead anyways

The amount of time spent doing something does not predict the quality of it. Quick drawings are great for getting the overall feel, gesture, colors, that's why you should start off simple and not jump into detailing right away. This is a huge problem for beginners as they can't seem to see the bigger picture and just get carried away by details so they keep polishing turds.

There's also the fact that people in tumble are more comfortable reblogging obviously low-effort things.

They are. It's a very casual medium. Popular art reblogs (that aren't fanart, to clarify) generally fit into two categories - low effort & funny, or so obviously skilled and high quality it's genuinely impressive. Anything in between won't get noticed unless it's fanart of a popular series/character.

I managed to get 60k+ notes on a few of my posts -because- I made them purposefully look the sort of casual low effort that tumblr snaps up. This is because I knew I'm not at the genuinely impressive skill level yet, though that's my ultimate goal.

tl;dr know your audience before you pin your self-esteem to their reception, ya doink.

omg hdu if I want to let a bunch of teenage girls who ship their gemsonas with ponies be the high arbiters of my self-image then who are you to stop me

It is pretty funny how the tumblrinas who hate bronies so much seem to be falling down the same rabbit hole concerning Steven Universe. "How DARE you say it's a cartoon for children!! Look at this horrifying porn I drew!!"

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

I always did find that hypicrtical

Personal works are generally unflattering to the public. There is just too much of the artist in it for them to consume. In the age of the internet everyone is a narcissist. Things with the right amount of ambiguity and hinting at the right current trends will get much attention. It's also import to know that most of the time certian things get attention is because it attracts very active reposters or bloggers. So things that look popular really aren't they're just spread around a lot by a view dedicated webhead. Seriously most shit on tumblr, deviantart,pixiv, furrfinity are popular because of a handful of proactive fans, hence the abundance of fanartists

Honestly stop caring about notes and just get good. Make the content and the people will come eventually.

Well to be honest I'd take space rock people who cry and sing for kids over horses for girls.

I like Steven Universe the show just fine. It's just markedly hypocritical for the loudest subset of "STOP MUSCLING THE TARGET AUDIENCE OUT, DEMANDING THE SHOW CATER TO YOU, AND FILLING THE FANDOM WITH ADULT CONTENT" detractors towards bronies are now muscling the target audience out, demanding the content cater to them, and filling the fandom with adult content in Steven Universe.

IMO both groups are shit who need to quit gettin' mad about cartoons.

>>2169370
>the target audience

As Adventure Time targeted manchildren, Steven Universe targets womanchildren. Childchildren are an afterthought.

weirdly enough half the su fandom agree su fandom is shit already.

>drawing just for the attention and recognition
That is a terrible attitude to have

It puts bacon in the pan and keeps the gas on. You can't fry bacon on hopes and dreams alone.

>>2168991

Just put Shibe in a box, now draw Shibe, it's that easy.

>>2169477
Shut up you fucking hobby artist cunt.

>>2169550
Then maybe you should stop eating bacon?
