Why do artists draw in ugly styles?

[Anonymous No.3849897]

>>3849896
Because they have shit taste and think their style isn't ugly.

Because tumblrfags have horrible taste. The "ugly=diverse and beautiful" mentality also doesn't help.

[Anonymous No.3849919]

>>3849914
These things don't have anything to do with eachother, but alright. There are some legitimately ugly styles that people who draw them enjoy. Regardless of where they're from.
It honestly makes me scared that my own style might be hideous without me knowing.

Americans have a ‘rebel’ culture that attacks traditional forms, and the end result is an inversion of those things

>Femininity bad
>independent stronk women good
>end result = masculine women

in the same vein
>Beauty bad
>”diversity” good
>end result = idealization of Ugliness

[Anonymous No.3849923]

>>3849920
Or no one draws with any of this in mind and they just have an ugly style and shit taste.
You fags really like to overthink everything.

I honestly just have a vendetta against generalization in general. I see it everywhere and in the smallest things. It reminds me that humans are a bunch of monkeys that are no different from 15,000 years ago.

what is this thread

>Or no one draws with any of this in mind
So the person who drew pic related by coincidence just happened to find those features attractive?

[Anonymous No.3849956]

>>3849944
They've probably drawn all their lives and when they integrated into tumblr they were encouraged to do something like this. Their art style was always ugly, but now they have an excuse to make uglier.
And no I'm not denying that there are people who idealize ugliness. People like that exist, but you're claiming this person made their style ugly on purpose when it's obviously just a generic ugly style, which is weird to me. As if this person did it deliberately.
>>Or no one draws with any of this in mind
Let me rephrase this. I meant that the majority of people don't, not no one. Do you think this ugly styles don't exist outside of this?

The OP is just an ugly style. Clearly nothing like what you're posting here.

Nah, I meant the picture in the OP.

[Anonymous No.3849977]

whatever, art is ugly

[Anonymous No.3849983]

>>3849968
Oh fuck, I wrote a whole paragraph about the tumblr thing, then I went back and somwhow I thought I saw that you were replying to OP and I deleted everything and changed some of it. So none of this probably makes sense to you.

Oh well, it's a blessing in disguise I guess. I saved myself another long argument that will lead nowhere.
Cheers, man.

I don't really see what's so ugly about it. Nothing to write home about but it's certainly not bad. It's competent enough.

[Anonymous No.3850243]

>>3849896
I don't draw human beings very much and I'm trying to learn, my faces look bad and people here say they look like the Tumblr style. I think it's just that these people don't draw very well and they see a lot of art that is also not drawn very well so they just think it's OK and don't bother improving.

[Anonymous No.3850256]

Art is an appeal to an emotional state rather than based in logic and what is considered "ugly" is highly subjective.

I tried making an appealing black character but I'm sure that in and of itself is an insult according to progressives. There's just no winning, is there?

[Anonymous No.3851765]

Wait is pic related supposed to be the appealing black character? oh no no no no

[Anonymous No.3852523]

I don't get where this obsession with looking bad for the sake of looking bad stems from exactly. Is it self-loathing?
I once shown the character in pic related to a tumblrite friend of mine and her immediate reaction was to say
>yeah of course she's pretty
... I mean yes? So what? Why would artists want to draw ugly looking things? It was perplexing because the character in question isn't even your typical sexualized anime c@girl.

[Anonymous No.3852873]

>>3852523
Is that a girl or a guy?

[Anonymous No.3852875]

>>3852873
Not him, but that anon said the character is a 'she' and reffered to her as a 'c@tgirl'.

[Anonymous No.3852879]

>>3852523
It's really easy to understand if you were around in the 2000s. Hollywood promotes beauty and "leaves out" everyone else so even ugly characters are played by supermodels, advertising photoshops women to be impossibly good looking, little girls grow up with unrealistic body standards and become bulimic because their parents used TV to raise them, there's one black dude in the movies and he's the first to die, gay people were a joke until a few years ago, etc etc.

Basically it's a counterculture to all these things, coupled with the whole millennial myth of "you can be anything you want". The song "beautiful" by the definitely not ugly Christina Aguilera came out in 2002, tons of obese young girls really liked the idea of being beautiful no matter if they weighted 300 pounds. Gays and blacks and trans people started campaigning too for representation. 20 years later if you don't have ugly ass lesbians as your main characters you're being a backwards evil sexist white man.

[Anonymous No.3853072]

>>3852873
It's a girl of course anon, can't you tell?!
>>3852879
With that explaination it still very much feels like counter-culture for the sake of counter-culture. These days you can represent anything you like in movies, you can make a movie with a gay main character or about being a trans black woman and not having it be laughed off as a joke as it'd have been 15 years prior. It's pointless.
Guess it's mostly screeches for attention.

Because they are unskilled but the "you're perfect as you are" mentality they have keeps them from trying to improve. Also they hold on too tightly to having a unique and personal style.

Exactly, many tumblrinas think ugly and fat = beautiful
its even more dissapointing when they actually have decent art styles, but have to waste it on drawing 45th gender harry potter non binary oc shit
