Where can I post loli drawing legally?
Feels like people is getting upset over drawings...

No thanks, I don't wanna get cancelled for "pedo" "children" "porno"

It's a necessary evil if you want exposure and also meet fellow pedos. At worst you may get your account deleted but that's unlikely. You won't lose your fans though so there's nothing to lose.

>Meeting other pedos
I'm not a pedo and I have no interests in meeting a disgusting actual pedo.
And I'm not intending to focus on loli.
It's just that sometimes there will be a 3000 old cute girl that happens to look like loli.
Why people is ok with a 13 yo busty girl with mature body but is scared of the 3000 years old with toddler body?

>>4787849
just draw a loli and say she's 18

Do you think the Japs draw the entire lineart(at least for one character) on one layer?

>>4787896
Meant for this >>4787810

>>4787899
you guys don't...?

>>4787907
I'm just asking because im curious what tricks they do when the lineart has colors and tints to them.

>>4787911
sai:
clipping groups or overlay
krita:
split alpha or alpha lock
other programs should have similar functions with the same names

Posting this agian because I'm not getting any answers, What are some resources to learn the basic of rendering anime? I attemted a from the last tread study from the last but didn't finish because I'm not good are coloring stuff without on my own.

>>4788484
lol not him, but I actually kinda like this one better. The original has eyes that are a little bit too small not that it's not good but it's kinda like doki doki literature club-esque

>>4787744
Twitter seems fine. No one has called out the creator of that "lol get stick bugged" meme as a pedo even tho he draws loli.

>>4789116
please don't...

Started studying Doppel's artstyle in depth on sunday, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to shading and I like to think that I'm mid to late /beg/ at most when it comes to drawing, pic related are my studies so far, I'm not at all happy with the shading in most cases, and I think I can do better with more practice which I shall do in the following days as I will practice legs, torso, head, etc.. However when it comes to his linework I think I got a good gist of it and I plan to search for a brush that most resembles his when I am finishing these studies, if anyone has any pointers on how I can improve with shading to more closely resemble Doppel's that would be fantastic, I legit could not figure out how he shaded bottom row for example, I tried my best to replicate it but I couldn't do that much of a good job.

>>4788424

Good source for drawing toned twinks? trap-esque body types. 3dpd is gross

>>4787719
yea I gotta work on perspective and pushing values more

>>4789790
Woah holy shit I love this. How long have you been drawing for? Blog?

thanks anons i really appreciate it
>>4788484
thanks and i don't mind at all, i see what you are going for with the eyes. recently my practice is focused on other areas so i tend to just phone it in on the face
>>4789790
this is really nice, the render is obviously preliminary but the folds are really clear. on top of that, i think you nailed picking a delicate value range for her face

>>4789790
You just drew my dream girl. Please post more.

>>4789851
>>4790365
Thank you, here's a rough one I did from the last thread. I've been drawing on and off with varying seriousness since middle school, so what, like 13 years or so? I'm @_cacheart on twitter but it's pretty barebones since I don't post a lot commissions. Moral of the story is: don't be lazy like me.

>>4790223
Thank you, appreciate the comment. Trying to learn more natural folds so I'm glad I'm heading in the right direction. Love yours, the proportions are sleek and I really like the way you've been stylizing her hair.

>>4790425
>don't be lazy like me.
not that anon, but i relate sm. it's probably it's super common.
i feel like so many years have been wasted off/on drawing since i was a kid. i've started taking serious interest in improving for the last two years.

>>4790425
Her arm's a bit twiggy, though. In contrast with the torso, it just looks strange

>>4787713
Can somebody construct this cursed head angle because I am rekt.

>>4790958
It's a really wide angle with tons of distortion. You won't be able to construct over it without a lot of fudging. This the danger of drawing straight from photos, images like this are particularly bad reference but get posted the most often here. In real life, you wouldn't see the head like that. Study the basics of photography and how wide angle versus telephoto affect the perspective distortions.

>>4790973
>>4791188
>>4791207
>everyone starts like that
Yep. Still sucks but you have to push through. My only advice is work hard but take breaks when you hit the wall. There comes a point where max effort does nothing. Just relax and get back to it after a cool down or work on something else. My closest to folding up and quitting was thinking I could just force understanding and feeling retarded for not getting it. Sometimes you just need to chill and regroup.

>>4791203
I'm pretty sure they don't even allow anime on Discord, let alone loli...

Dude, just play with the settings, you can do a lot of shit with it.

>>4791219
Yes, there is a collection of his art on sadpanda, even drawings of his back from a decade ago when he was still /beg/, honestly seeing how he drew back then made me stop being a little bitch about how my drawings looked when I first started drawing on the beginning of this year.

pic related is such a drawing of /beg/ doppel

>>4789007
Sorry guys, I totally don't understand wtf I'm doing

>>4791585
do cel shaded with 1 base and 1 shadow color only for each material first

>>4791585
the next asukafag

>>4791585
you're trying to run before you can walk, just take it easy and move on to a new drawing, or don't and keep going if you're having fun.

>>4791585
how tf did you make it look worse than before...

>>4791585

>>4791585
I would probably go back to your sketch and start with line art then flat colors. Then once your comfortable do simple cell shading then move on from there. Its hard to help with what you currently have, but if you refine the sketch it would be easier to give advice as you go.

>>4791585
i tried to fix
maybe don't paint just try to draw with lines and simple shadows?

>>4791609
If you haven't actively made your art worse by trying to fix it you haven't touch a pencil to paper. It's just part of getting better.

>>4791188
>Starts
I didn't start yesterday, I feel like I shouldn't be struggling with the same things at this point (2 years)
>>4791227
Are you ok with posting your work? Not using it to dismiss your point or anything I just need inspiration of someone who has gone through the same rout

>>4791914
frankly you can also look at >>4791559 that artist makes great stuff nowadays but look at the stuff he used to make on his first years

Asg - how do i draw wet anime girls?

What does the line work look like?

>>4791914
Well I never said I was great, but I do know what you are dealing with. I don't post anywhere nor do I plan to start, but here is the last thing I did. It's not where I want to be but I've come to terms with my ability and will continue till I get to where I want to be. Things have gotten easier and I mostly enjoy it now. Time to feed the crabs.

>>4791972
Neither of these faggots but I hate the fact how this piece of shit will land thousands of likes and favorites meanwhile other stuff that is a hundred times more technical proficient goes unnoticed. Yes I am mad and fuck you.

>>4791981
Go away /beg/trash. You're superior to no one.

Does anyone have any good resources for rendering? I'm okay at sketching but I can't seem to color my images well aside from simple cel-shading.

>>4791972
Thank you for posting your work
>>4791925
Got a link to this gallery or his twitter? I looked on not sad panda and got results from different artists. Twitter search is just returning me checkmarks

>>4792438
I don't like body horror that much so I don't really see the appeal of his older works, his newest works are far more like to my taste.

>>4791914
post a before and after anon i am sure you improved in 2 years.also remember that copying and creating from imagination are 2 different skills not even people that can copy 1:1 is good at imagination if they never trained in doing so

>>4792880
Im terrible at both. I was the retard last thread that was using pen and paper. I did improve from year 0 to 1. From year 1 to 2 I haven't improved at all and got worse in several areas on top of that.

worked on expressions with a couple of heads today. is this a character she's cosplaying or is it just a photoshoot of a girl?

>>4792977
This is probably a sketch, but I feel like it could pop with some color.

>>4792983
i'll experiment with some colors tomorrow... i've been ignoring it for too much of my work. thanks for the feedback

can somebody recommend some good japanese artists? as goods as when space jin was at his apex

>>4793010
could someone recommend*
sorry for my trash english

>>4793006
Whats your work?

>>4787713
She is so beautiful
also >>4790968 was really good advice, I dont think I nailed the actual head but it was nice as an exercise. I dont understand anime hair tho

>>4792977
Everything you do is great. How long have you been drawing for?

>>4792930
how many hours per day do you draw?why are you so ashamed of your work and/or lazy that don't even link/post it?why do you think people will jump through hoops just to help you?

oh yeah this is probably last time i bother replying if you don't post more details about your drawing routine,examples of your work,habits,etc.this discussion will probably end with you asking me to pyw as you did with the other anon,dont bother i will not

>>4793026
i don't mean my occupation, i just mean typically
for the drawings that i do, i have no plans to incorporate color

>>4793035
hey thanks anon. by the end of this year, it'll have been 3 years since i decided to consciously improve. i didn't start completely from zero, since i drew here and there while i was a student. pic related is from around 2017. i went pretty hard at it but i eased up in the last couple of months. i'm trying to get back into a serious mindset so i'm posting my work more frequently in the last couple of days

also i've been seeing some anons here post about how they haven't been improving in years so i don't really want to be like "hey look at me, i worked at it and made some progress" because i'm not sure that's helpful for people who are seemingly in a rut... i'm pretty happy with my progress but to be honest, when i started i had higher expectations haha. it all seems silly now that i've mellowed out a bit. anyway it's late and i'm rambling, sorry

>>4793039
>How many hours
4 during weekdays. 8 during weekends
>Are you ashamed of your work
Yes. Extremely so.

I didn't mean the pyw previously to the other anon as an aggressive remark and I liked his work. I'm sorry.

>>4793061
Don't worry about it. Isn't your fault. Im one of the anons you told to focus on accuracy (the one that likes to use red pencils). I got a bit better on that regard but my art is still all around terrible. I cannot do a 1:1 copy or even build poses from imagination or reference to save my life. If anything Im more ashamed on my lack of progress than anything. I really have no talent for this and no amount of work is helping me either so far.

I am very frustrated and perplexed with the fact that I can'd draw cute anime faces. Or even western cute.
I'm searching far and wide for an artist I can copy but nothing satsifies me

pic rel are my most recent attempts
I am unsatisfied with neither

>>4793239
stop drawing all of the lips, simplify more when youre drawing a cuter look like the bottom one, draw less of the nose bridge, you dont have to keep the iris circular either, simplify and stylise the eye for the more mature on the top right too, and you're painint too much detail

>>4793239
Pretty much >>4793259 sometimes less is more

>>4793239
>cute anime faces
simplify the features, don't make the head long

>>4790968
Good post

>>4793259
>>4793282
>>4793285
thanks guys
now of course there are other areas where I lack but I know that the face is most importnat and figuring out the correct style the biggest thing that is holding me back cause I feel like the face is the most 'design-dependant' thing to be good

>>4793307
I'm struggling with the face too, I'm probably going to focus a entire day or so to every feature of the face before I try to draw it completely in a certain style, take your time and keep trying, you'll make it.

I like it better now but that might be personal preference, imo you should find something that you're happy with, the artstyle that I'm trying to develop doesn't pleases a lot of people but idc because I like it, as long as you're happy with the product don't really think too much about it

>>4793642
nose too far down. looks much better if u move it up

>>4793957
whatever makes you the happiest sugar

>>4793239
Top right appeals to me the most so that's what I'm going to run with... Here's a few examples of similar aesthetics that I think you could achieve, you definitely have a good foundation going on and I've seen marked improvement in your work. Only thing I'd like to point out is that the blush seems to be in the wrong place in your faces, try applying it closer/on the cheekbones. Keep up the good work

>>4793957
lolno
maybe you'll like this better

>>4794045
>her

>>4794039
Cute tummy, cute nipples. Definitely work on your hands, mine is not perfect but I redlined a more natural placement for the pose. I recommend moving the left (to the viewer) eye slightly down (remember the face is not a flat plane, even anime style) and raising up the cheek/cheekbone. Add blush as well to match the rendering style of the body. Other things of note is to blend out the center of the ribcage so the appearance is not so gaunt, and don't forget the shading to indicate the mons pubis.

>>4794039
>>4794090
Also... more of a nitpick than anything... two sets of ears?

>>4794094
nothing wrong with 4 ears

>>4794090
thanks a lot!

>>4793239
I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but one issue I notice with your coloring is that you're putting the blush way too low on the cheeks. Studying some basic makeup stuff could help you, but as a quick tip you should be painting the blush on the higher side of the cheek bone, starting from around the bottom outside edges of her eyes. If you paint it as low as you currently are, it gives the impression of sagging or not as youthful of a look.

>>4793239
Hey asukafag. Big fan here. How did you even get started with commisions btw?

>>4787713
seeing others drawing like >>4788052 just make me feels sad.

>>4793492
thanks for the (you), brother
>>4793096
oh yeah i remember now, especially after looking through the last thread for your work. my guess is that you're improving, but you just haven't hit a big breakthrough in a while. it seems like you're putting yourself under a lot of pressure. some people thrive under that pressure and others are hindered by it. maybe you should try taking it easy for a while, but that might be easier said than done. do you do any still lifes? just simple objects from boxes and cylinders and stuff. i have fewer expectations and less attachment when i do stuff like that, allowing for cool headed self critique
>>4795315
i had hoped that we could motivate each other to keep drawing

>>4795325
>i had hoped that we could motivate each other to keep drawing
No, it demotivates me.

Thank you for your comments
>it seems like you're putting yourself under a lot of pressure. some people thrive under that pressure and others are hindered by it. maybe you should try taking it easy for a while, but that might be easier said than done
Yeah. I really cannot take it easy and the pressure does me no good either. All in all I feel deeply ashamed and sad about my inability to improve, the fact that the process is still a massive struggle for me at every step and the end result. I find absolutely not a single reedemable thing about what I come up with and truly hate my work and me for it. On top of everything I started very late in life (31) so I have time against me and that makes you feel desperate as well.
>do you do any still lifes? just simple objects from boxes and cylinders and stuff. i have fewer expectations and less attachment when i do stuff like that, allowing for cool headed self critique.
Last one I did something like this was 3 months ago. It also made me miserable in the sense it was both boring and felt like I was wasting time.

Hopefully I can get there someday, but I feel super miserable every day about this, if I try to take a break it just makes things worse. The only thing I have in my favor is work culture but everything feels like a mistake. In the end Im my very own biggest crab.

>>4795412
>I started very late in life (31) so I have time against me and that makes you feel desperate as well.
29 here.
Just wanted to tell you you're not alone.

a nice ref

>>4795412
31 is very late in life if you plan on only living to 45
you have plenty of time. slow down

>>4795412
idk how you're going about art, but considering you're in this anime study thread, i'm assuming you've focused on a specific style.

the best way to get "good" fast is figure drawing, plain and simple. draw what you see all the time. the anime style you're after can come later, or alongside the figure drawing. once you get the essentials down it, things start to feel limitless.

>>4795473
I usually start sessions by doing the 30min or 1 hour figure drawing class of the line of action website. I really dont know if im doing ot right or not

>>4794803
oh Cute! I like this

how do i render better in csp i used the g pen and opaque water color and followed this guide on the bottom left

>>4795587
good job

As someone who just started learning is dedicating an hour each night too little?

So far, i've been looking at some guides and watching videos.
For practice I've been copying a reference trying to understand what I'm doing.

>>4795786
more would be better of course

>>4795786
I'm >>4795315
drawing for 1 hour+ every night after work.
Been at this for almost 3 months now.
Started with knowing nothing.
As you can see, right now i'm still low-/beg/ knowing nothing.
I would advice you to stop completely, don't waste your time, unless you can put in more hours.

Anything you want to know?

>>4795795
>>4795790
I'll keep that in mind about putting in more time, I just need to replace other hobbies/activities for the time.

Right now, I've just been focusing on head shots and nothing below the neck trying to get all the shapes/proportions down.
Is that a good strategy you think or should I work on everything at once?

>>4795786
nothing is too little or too much, it just depends on your goals, if you want to become pro in a fast time then yea you should do at least two or three times that, but if its a hobby then its perfectly fine

>Is that a good strategy
Nobody will know.
I think you just need to find one that works for you by yourself.
Everybody have their own ways of learning, don't just listen to others or you will waste your time like i did.
If anybody insists you to follow their way, that's a crab.

It's fine, the most important thing for beginners is not hours, but consistency. Don't try to brute force it more than your body and mental can handle. That only leads to burnout.
Drawing for an hour daily is better than drawing for ten hours straight only at the weekend.

>>4795795
>>4795786
In the beginning, everything you draw will look like utter dog shit. The worst thing is that you can tell it's dog shit and just can't figure out how to fix it. Eventually it doesn't look like dog shit anymore but you wake up next day and look at it again and it reverts to dog shit. It's just how it is.

>>4795315
attempted to fix it.

>>4795861
I just hope I can draw full time so i can see major gains.
It's painful to see myself drawing like shit.

>>4795830
>>4795848
>>4795861
Thanks for the replies, everyone much nicer than I feared they would be.
I guess my current goal will be to get to where I'm confident enough to post something for criticism.

>>4795873
Criticism are worthless here.
we all know our drawing is bad.
Asks for red lines instead.

>>4794094

>>4795786
As you just started, that's fine. However there's a period of warmup I find I have to make myself go through every day. I have to get out 20-40 minutes of crap drawings and warmup before I can start doing things I actually "like" with my control of the pencil. If you're only doing an hour, you're barely making it to the part where you're warmed up and have the dexterity to draw.

Try to knock out the warmups sometime during the day so you're not constantly warming up with no progress before you go to bed. I can't tell you how many hours/days I wasted by only getting through my warmups and going to bed.

>>4795357
Posing for a camera as your picture suggest can only really be so dynamic without looking like a clown show. To be dynamic try an action scene of some type. When in movement you can actually warp stuff to an extreme if you choose and if you are good can tell a story with just with a picture.

>>4796113
neck is way too thick

>>4795357
Everything below the waste looks flat and beg as fuck so I'm guessing you didn't have reference to copy for it. The perspective on the gun is wonky and doesn't make sense with how she's holding it.

>>4796113
Proportions are kinda crazy, like 5.5. I like the rendering, but she looks like she's falling over. Your perspective is all over the place which is "wrong". We're looking down at or even some parts but many parts below them are as if we're viewing from below. Pick a horizon line and stick with it drawing everything above it as viewed from below and everything below it as viewed from above.

Some studies i made, though ?

>>4796385
keep it up

>>4796385
Do you have anything more finished to compare? I just like to see studies vs polished work sometimes.

>>4796579
i have this even if it's not finished, i don't have a lot of "finished" pieces i manly do studies and some sketchs

>>4796613
Cool. Thanks for sharing.

>>4796268
Thanks

The issues I noticed was the right eye and jaw shape.

>>4793642

>>4795473
/beg/ here. Could you elaborate more on this? I have never heard anyone before saying they got good through figure drawing.

>>4796959
I'm sure it cant hurt. Pencil to paper dude. Draw often and diverse and it will work out in the end.

>>4796970
>I'm sure it can't hurt
Pic here seems to disagree >>4795993

>>4793642

>>4797004
That's not diverse. The word "only" in >>4795993 agrees with me. Draw often and diverse. Diverse means doing studies, live draw, drawing from imagination, drawing from reference, even some doodles etc, anything you can produce and think critically of. Stop being a crab because you fail your own expectations and improve yourself.

im glad my art generate this interest
here are my 2 latest faces

>>4795357
Cute! Blog?

>>4796959
literally just study how the old masters at academies learned to draw. drawing from life is literally the most fundamental building block. figure drawing, looking at 3d forms/ transferring them to paper is literally how you "get good"

>>4796959
>>4797089
also this board is fucking retarded and believes you'll get better by reading books and completing meaningless "exercises"
books are good supplemental material, but they can't substitute drawing from reality.

>>4797068
i like these a lot please do more. would love to see some of the clothing and accessories fleshed out

>>4797330
Centurion, Rome has fallen.

is this cute

>>4797651
no
finish it first

>>4797676
but im asking if its cute/good enough to finish

>>4797651
>>4797680
Stop fishing for validation and just finish it.

>>4797680
Come back after worked at least 1 hour on it

>>4797691
ok i just wanted to know if i was ok to continue on. i have a bad time trying to judge if its ok to move on or not, i get stuck on sketching too long

>>4797692
>i have a bad time trying to judge if its ok to move on or not
Yep, don't do that again
At least finish the sketch fully

>>4797692
No, it's not ok to continue
Now fuck off

>>4787713

>>4795587
can you post a webm of you rendering and blending I'm still confused

wtf /asg/ threads are actually good now? What happened?

>>4799184
crabs gone
I had been trying to tell you all this, but no one ever listen
stop feeding the crabs

How do I get ideas for drawing clothes? Sketching is fun and easy until I finish the face, hair and body and realize I have no idea what to do next.

>>4799184
the only shitty ones are the people complaining about it like you

>>4799184

i'm the one that's confused i just took the original image and followed it on the template but mine is less hard where it should be and less soft where it should be

learn perspective

I'm tracing anime and it's not doing shit to improve my fundamentals. You fucks lied to me.

>>4799317
Where the fuck did you pull perspective out of? I asked about clothing.

>>4799326
pyw and we'll try to help you

>>4799377
I don't have anything because I started drawing like two weeks ago and I still am too shit to actually make anything.

>>4799378
>I started drawing like two
1st Figure Drawing
2nd Clothes

>>4799378
As in you're a complete beginner? What the fuck are you doing anime for? You shouldn't even be doing figure drawing at this stage. Build a decent understanding of perspective and forms before trying to draw your favorite anime waifu ffs. When people say to trace, they mean to trace the forms so you understand how it was constructed, you can't expect to learn much of anything by tracing contours.

>>4799387
I am tracing the forms.

> What the fuck are you doing anime for?

Because I'm a fucking weeb and I wanna draw anime girls what the fuck else lmao

>>4799393
ah, you are simply a retard.

>>4799393
So you're tracing them into simple boxes, circles and ellipses? Because if you're a beginner, anything more complex than that is not going to help. And why is it so hard for any weeb to understand that yes, you do need to understand the actual anatomy of a human body to draw a human body.

>>4799393
>no! I want shortcuts!
Okay then

>>4799400
I am following the advice of the picture linked in the OP, that is learning anatomy from the Japanese artists I like by attempting to trace the very basic underlying forms of their pictures with boxes and circles. I don't know how that will translate into actually drawing pictures on my own just yet, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

>>4799408
>I don't know how that will translate into actually drawing pictures on my own just yet

Interesting deconstruction of scenes and song is really good

>>4797744
ok ill try, i'm starting to double think. feel like i should scrap it and practice more before returning to it. i hate feeling i'm not ready for something yet

>>4793061
it's funny, i can still see an aesthetic through-line between your old bad work and your recent work

>>4799417

copying anime to learn is effective, though. that's how a lot of manga artists learn to draw. analyzing and trying to deconstruct when you have little to no understanding behind why you're doing that is Silly though

>>4799326
Post your trace

>>4799673
>tfw no one says this to you when you only have bad work

>>4799757
well no shit. the only reason anyone would make that comment is if the recent work is good.

How do you achieve that regular crosshatching on the eyes?

>>4799894
Real simple easy friend, just scuttle across your tablet or piece of paper really fast. Since we can only move in 2 directions, just rotate your canvas or paper.

copy more kemono

>>4799957
based

>>4787293
How can I know if something was hand drawn or digitally drawn? For instance, is Posuka's art digitally or hand drawn?

>>4799957
>those perfect circles
Brb killing myself and hoping I'm talented next life

>>4799973
Don't worry, it's humanly impossible to achieve a circle like that without a rule, much less three of them.

>>4797650

>>4787721

>>4799992
Whoa, amazing, how much do you practice a week?

>>4799957
Thats a nice crab but really dont answer my question

>>4787719
bros i cant... how do i you draw anime eyes

>>4800117
too much loomis

>>4800108
Ok I don't think I can get more simplified that this. I've included an image that gives a detailed example of how I did this 2 step process.
Seriously tho, i didn't do anything special i just drew lines. No transforms or gimmicks involved. I just drew lines.

>>4799316
Is there a step in which he adds reflected light?

>>4799973
Don't you idiots have coins?

>>4799825
Very cute! My only nitpick is the tiny boobs she has. A loli as small as she might look better flat chested.

>>4800223
It is indeed a valid nitpick friend. I did contemplate that notion for an extended period of time. My inspiration for this piece was a bit more bustier.

I do have a few other different versions. Hence the letter C at the end of the filename. However they do not contain tsurupettan. I may revisit and make the necessary adjustments just to indulge our curiosities.

Is there even one good how to draw manga book in english, other than loomis?
Literally asking for a friend.

Feels like Im the only one who does trad in these threads

>>4800119
Impossible.

>>4787293
any Japanese tutorial books that need to be translated?

why do you spam shit in this thread that isn't related at all to the topic

>>4801075
It’s references, seems relevant enough. This thread is slow enough that it doesn’t really matter anyways.

>>4801225
They're taking valuable posts from people that can post their work instead of lazy photo dumping that no one except the dumper cares about. "ref" dumping is autistic and narcissistic "look at how good my taste is" meanwhile anyone looking for ref can find it themselves.

>>4797651
Hopefully Im not too late to ask but which author teaches that kind of construction? Thanks

>>4801225
Post only a couple of refs. Too much is just spam honestly

>>4800258
I don't think so.

it's much wiser to hide the stuff you like to draw in private than share it with your audience who probably will lynch you for sharing anything creep and taboo. (unless you have an alternate artstyle and name you can run by)

this is why you need to make good friends with similar interests, so you too can get to enjoy what they're hiding from everybody.
