People has way too much time on their hands to care about nothing and message people about nothing

I fucking hate Newspeak. Its so smug and arrogant.

>>4646740
Inform her that colonization is a best thing ever happened to Africa. It's indisputable.

>>4646740
>the whole idea of light skin by our colonizers
what

>>4646740

>>4646740
That last sentence makes no damn sense

Here is what I would reply:
>What the hell is wrong with you? Make your own art if you don't like mine.

As for my biggest criticism, no one gives a shit about my art. So silence is the biggest criticism.

For some context, the piece in question.

Of all the political undertones and controversial imagery, I still can't believe its the skin colour of the corpses that she feels is most out of place lmao

Easy.

My early design for PS5-tan or whatever the fuck they call it.

I later realized he had a point, kind of.

>>4646825

yeah shoulders are a bit too manly and the heads a bit small but you've got the right idea

>>4646825
This just looks like a /beg/ not knowing his way around proportions rather than someone purposely doing something unappealing

>>4646813
I'm not familiar with Indian politics, what's this trying to say?

it all started when i was nine years old...

>>4646878

I'm not OP, but I know what he's trying to draw.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Blue_Star

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indira_Gandhi

It was an controversial Indian military action against Sikh militants in the Golden Temple, an extremely holy place for Sikhs. It ended with a lot of dead Sikh civilians when it was all over, and triggered Indira Gandhi's assassination a few months later, which in turn triggered super violent anti-Sikh riots in India.

My older brother is a boomer and he straight up makes fun of my work like a grade school child
>DUUUUDE WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DRAWING
>LOOOOL IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT
Recently he begged me to do work for him and I said sorry, I'm too busy drawing things I like.

>>4646740

I refuse to believe this is real

>>4646740
>hmm, the skin tone looks off, you bigot
>check your implicit bias, white man
kek'd

>>4646813

This is is even more baffling since youre Indian. Indians have poetry and artwork going back thousands of years opining about the beauty of lighter skin. Hell, theres even gods that a blue and green that thought of as beautiful, for fuck sake.
Gotta be some white sjw sending you that shit.
Sometimes they like to masquerade as minorities**** online to fuck with people. Ive seen it happen several times.

>>4646902
it's always the ones that shit on you the most, isn't it?

>>4646887

Of course, it's always all about you, narcissist.

>>4646825
Try doing this pose without falling on your face

That I need to learn fundamentals/know how to draw a box before I draw my shitty cartoonish chicken-scratched abominations

big, but also the best criticism

>>4647101
which books are you using, right now?

>>4646813
What does shade have to do with it? She's getting ate the fuck up. Guarantee if you used darker skin they would still be annoying about it.

>>4647107
I'm mainly focusing on drawabox and just drawing cubes, but I have been reading key's to drawing and I poke around in other books sometimes in here: https://mega.nz/#F!j0NTDISC!WeyTcLD2PiW413LqfEOCIA
It's not consistent, I am not used to reading books because truth be told I never really read books, I still want to read more though
Drawabox is really fun and I'm learning a lot from it, I need to get those damn fine-liners..

>>4647101
This. Anon in >>4646814 was unnecessarily rude but made me think about things I had to correct on my drawing (unlike >>4647068)
Sometimes this kind of wake-up calls are needed
>>4646865
That's exactly what it is.

>>4647118
>That's exactly what it is.
Meant to >>4646873

>>4646887
this is the ideal female body

>>4646740
Uhhhh... Yeah just ignore that shit.

>>4647648
Get your eyes checked

My favourite piece of advice was when I was complaining about stagnating and someone said, after looking over my work, "You stagnate because you try nothing new."
Very helpful! That alone helped me tremendously

>>4646740
My art is completely bland and not offensively bad so I never get harsh critique, in fact I practically get none :)

>>4647680
Cherish that, put it into a profile image and use it as strength

>>4647777
the only thing im checking are those quads

>>4646813
How does this edgy garbage even get criticism?

>>4646825
honestly just make the head bigger

>>4646813
Seeing the actual pic makes this incredibly funny.

>>4646740
I thought I was hot shit at 16 on deviantart and some chick destroyed my ego and shat on everything from lineart to coloring to my terrible texture backgrounds. I learned a lot from it, and pushed to improve since. I don't remember her username but I hope she's doing well.
