Yeah, fucking hacks.

Bouguereau was indeed a boring hack

girls are cute

western styles dont count though

They also convert their reference into 1 type of girl with their favorite features so their posts end up looking like 1 girl with many wigs.
Lonely person learning art to draw their waifu is a big portion of artists.

That's what happens when you follow advice about "drawing what you know" instead of seeking new material. You pigeonhole yourself.

Alternatively, they're driven purely by libido and complacency.

more like what the heck is wrong with artists that exclusively draw [insert subject]

artists that only draw one subject are weird. I would get so bored

It's what works. People are braindead and will click on faces of generic pretty girls. Actually many of these artists are capable of drawing other shit but they just draw girls that's what works. I remember Andrew K Mar who draws the same girl exclusively but during inktober he made some really cool monsters.

I have no interest in drawing cars or tanks but I’m still learning how to construct them because it’s a transferable skill and I don’t want to get up being a one trick pony.

Don't act like "drawing what you know" is bad advice. This is just what happens when you don't bother learning anything else.

>Don't act like "drawing what you know" is bad advice.
It is bad advice. I don't want to draw a sad ugly asshole sitting in a small room, ever.
Sure, it's not bad advice if you're drawing interesting or attractive things, but then the advice is more "draw interesting or attractive things" innit?

Why yes I only draw girls how could you tell?

Because sex sells, and it's the easiest way to grow on social media. Have you ever seen the disparity in likes between a female artist's post of just their art vs a post of them next to their art? Artists who get 1k-2k likes on posts of their artwork can get 10k+ when they pose with it. Drawing girls gives about the same results.

I follow a woman who started posting on Instagram last October. All she posts are busts of girls in a stylized, flat colored, cartoony style. They're not bad don't get me wrong, but very much suffer from same face syndrome. Despite that, she's now sitting at around 120k followers, less than a year after starting.

Drawing girls/portraits also allows people to participate in most of the challenges that go around from time to time, like #drawthisinyourstyle, which really help growing your fan base.

>not posting their Instagram
Anon please

I just don't want people to go hate on her or anything, but for reference this is almost exactly what her style looks like.

Sometimes I feel like this society is too Darwinian for me to live in. I don't even blame the girls or the public or the art thieves or the porn or whatever other sleazy thing anymore, it's just survival. Maybe I'm just not meant to survive.

>hate
So you just made shit up then, great job faggot

>>3973402
>being a girl is life on easy mode
Tell us something we don't know, Anon.

Blame late-stage capitalism for launching us back into Darwinian competition where only a select few survive while the others starve

Lucky me, the state of California considers me reatrded so I can apply for disability checks as soon as I lose the rat race. Better than literally dying

Ok you fucking absolute idiot why am I gonna draw anything else?
