Question about this community

[Anonymous No.4180289]

Why is this board so negative? people post good art they have done and some commenters sound really jealous and bitter and try to bring them down? or they nitpick on anything in the art that doesn't align with some art teachers words - it's called style and how art is subjective - people draw and create and see things differently.

And secondly everyone seems to be in a rush and want results immediately -- there seems to be a level of paranoia as if art is going away, it's always going to be around, you've got a good 50+ YEARS to get your art together!,so why not be positive and do the same for others here who are trying to get to the same place??
Whats the rush for? i really don't understand.

Crabs in a bucket. There's a reason why everyone is called a crab here. Lonely dissatisfied people taking out their frustration by sabotaging other anons.

There are also no good art improvement sites around anymore, so people flock here where they can be more open and opinionated instead of Reddit or Discord or wherever (and I can't blame them). Of course this place isn't good either, outside of the resources. The resources are great and you can find just about anything.

Regardless, you've got your whole lifetime to do so, why is there a need to be the best now, ? it's impossible, not everyone can be number 1, or sell today? that doesn't make you an artist - Van Gogh sold one painiting in his lifetime. Look at him now.

Positivity goes a long way in motivating people, but they have to be willing to take the constructive criticism too. It's a two-way street. I'm remembering Sinix I think mentioned this, that he waltzed into a thread of pros on CA.org and submitted his shitty /beg/ sketches like a dunning-kruger, and they ended up giving him helpful advice instead and encouraging him instead of giving him shit for it.

Outside of here I think most people are too coddled by the positivity or they can't handle someone even suggesting "hey work on this some more." But /ic/ has this totally defeatist attitude and I think that's unhealthy too. I think social media has isolated people and made them more selfish and fearful, which could contribute to this. It's less about a community trying to improve one another and instead everyone looking out for their own benefit.

theoretically because you're alive for around 70 years you should be able to get good by the time you're 70, but statistically every year past 35 you're less likely to succeed in any field. It doesn't really matter why, weather it's less free time, loss of ambition, energy, mental degradation, you are less likely to make anything great past 50. Sure it happens, but you don't see too many people start art in there 30s-40s and make it.

Another reason for people to rush is improving market value while they're still young, believe it or not everything we do is for the sake of finding a mate biologically, all our ambitions are fed by this at its core, to find the best mate and reproduce, art or music can get a mediocre looking man a pretty hot wife.

Lastly because I want to be good at art, I don't want to spend 50 years hating my work, and I would much rather spend my days doing art at work then coming home, having a family and social life over going to a job I dislike, having a family, and being mediocre at art because the lack of free time.

I'm going to attempt at my dream life rather than settle for a mediocre one, suck my cock and blow it out your ass.

Art attracts feminine personality types which means there’s a lot of cattiness, passive aggression and outright sadism. It’s weird that hands on blue collar types like welders, plasterers and plumbers etc are always portrayed as low grade brutish assholes and often shitlib artistic types are portrayed as gentle, sympathetic people when in my experience the exact opposite is true. Masculine guys are happy to teach and enjoy passing on what they know while frail shitlibs just want to taste a tiny piece of power over someone else since they’re generally weak people.

Because most of the people here have gotten it into their head that art is a career and competition for who can make the finest Western Cannon Imitation and/or Big Anime Titty, and then make bank off it. People don't draw because the simply have to, or try and integrate art positively in their lives

Plus this site generally attracts goblins who like the negative/edgy connotation it has, and then they actively try to make it worse because that's what you're supposed to do on 4chan I guess

the only reason I come here is because I know people will be unafraid to honestly tell me what is wrong with my work that I need to improve. I hate this place, but I can't find honesty anywhere else.

for example I recently painted this rose:
>>4182525

If I show my friends and family, they always tell me it's good, or, if I'm lucky, they'll couch critque in 10 sentences of praise.

if I post that on reddit, I'm gonna have to sift through 25 empty compliments for one critical post that may or may not be helpful.

I've literally taken a university class and done critiques and they were fucking babies about it. One girl cried because the instructor GENTLY pointed out a single thing she could improve. When I got up no one would say anything negative. It was like the opposite of a struggle session, everyone told me how good I was and I had to argue with them like "NO I'M FUCKING NOT, LOOK AT ALL THESE CLEAR MISTAKES"

The only place I can get real critique is from professional artists (very expensive) and here. I hate it here and hate /pol/ bullshit but now that conceptart.com went to shit, there's nowhere for real critique that isn't padded to hell and back.

Welcome to the edgiest site on the internet.
>people post good art they have done and some commenters sound really jealous and bitter and try to bring them down?
People who frequent here are those that have nothing going on in their lives so you can imagine why there's so much negativity. Granted, most work that is posted is just bad. The good art that is posted here more often gets the appropriate praise and critique believe it or not.
>it's called style and how art is subjective
There are also situations where the poster has an inflated ego and thinks they're beyond critique because of their style so naturally they will get negative comments.
>And secondly everyone seems to be in a rush and want results immediately
Mostly noobs who are afraid to start and want to know if it's worth their time.

[Anonymous No.4182621]

I remember when I was /beg/ and I used to pmw for critique before going to bed excited to see the replies in the morning. All you have to do is filter out the criticism from the junk and this place becomes the best art forum you can find anywhere. You can make a huge amount of progress as an artist in a very short span of time here because someone told you what exactly was wrong with some piece of shit you churned out. If you actually put in an effort to analyse your own work and communicate what your problems are, there will usually be some anon willing to meet you halfway (redline, some book recommendation, etc.)

You will be pressed to find that anywhere else, because everywhere else people don't want to risk sounding mean or nitpicky when their name is attached to their posts. I'm glad I found this place when I did, otherwise I might have ended up as your average deviantart faggot going "muh style". Genuinely just stop being a little baby bitch and learn to ignore ad homynyms from ANONYMOUS shitposters.

Art has many "qualities" beyond technical quality. All of which outclass and overshadow technique in my book. But these qualities aren't as easy to measure, so they're less useful for people whose ego is attached to art, and just about completely useless for anyone not trying to just sell something. The people who so vehemently defend the vain empty pursuit, are the ones with a stake in it, and ironically the ones who could use a bit of perspective the most.

Too easy poser
I really like that term, it's an old one, originates in canada I think.
Try this on. When you turn art into a social contest, you lose out, and so does everyone else. It delegitimizes your friendships when you give a fuck about this shit. Cheapens them to how much talent or effort they can give. One person will never be good enough to measure up, the next you're too much of a try hard for. It can't be any other way, as no two are exactly equal in terms of skill or taste, and even then it would still be based on something superficial. And you know where the loneliest place is? The "top". How do you know what's real or fake if you're successful in this forgery?
The answer of course is to not put any weight on these things- to the best of your ability, default to what you believe, but keeping a keen eye out for chances to broaden your perspective. And in all things find "excuses" to exercise openness, enjoyment, and experience. But anons do not do this by and large, they far prefer to throw their weight at any turn, even to psychopathic degrees.
The social game is a misery and ignorance maker, win or lose.

It order to truly serve someone, as is the stated goal here, it requires you to place yourself below them. It doesn't work any other way. Yeah, you can give in self interest, it's called buying something. But it's easy to abuse humility, someone putting a hand out to you. All it takes is cynicism really, to wreck it.

yea he won't be deluded by copes and he will draw better than you lmfao

If you need attention, all you have to do is ask. I'm usually hanging around while I draw. But i believe in civility, it fosters things like respect and openness. And of course it helps to have a good point! Would you like to try again buddy?

I don't think regard is very civil, do you? Frankly, I don't require your thoughts on my work at the moment, least of all because I rather doubt anyone here would find an interest in it. But mostly because it's very much more effective here to remain anon for certain things. An ideal of cooperation in the face of psychopathy for instance. Do you suppose you have something adequate to trade for this? Some non-social reward since that's the principal avoidance to begin with? And just how will you "price" me beforehand? As nothing, as stated, which I accept and endorse fully.
Because that, here, like in all of life is the only honest way to serve.
Agree anon?

For the right reason and at the right time, of course, anon! But I think that's a long way off yet. Wish me luck here anon!

Fine. You know what, fine. As an olive branch extension. I will be the bigger person here and post my work. Let it be known that I resorted to NO ad hominem, appeals to authority, or any such fallacies. I hope this will quell that mindless lumox's rage for now. Yes, it may not be quite professional, but my skill is refined enough for me to survive on commission work. This is a very very old quick sketch I was half awake for and almost threw away, but I guess it shall do for now. It shouldn't take much to shut him up!

Listen anon, I'm trying to help you. What you don't realize is that by playing that game, win or lose it's the wrong game. And yes, for one, you are by default endorsing appeal to authority.
It's a direct correlation between the simple personal vice of pride and authoritarianism. And no one wants that do they?

You got down to the level of braying asses and brayed back at them. Do you feel better now?
Take the right lesson from this. (And keep up the artwork mang)

To all you replying to the deleted post, I'm pretty sure it was a falseflagger trying to delegitimize >>4185824 and his argument. I've seen those drawings before.

>Policing the psychos is the answer, just like irl.
Police yourself motherfucker. I believe you are a psycho, so I guess you get first dibs on admittance to the re-education center. You just want to turn this place into every other neutered social media site

[Anonymous No.4185883]

>>4185872
Not correct. I have almost no experience with any other site. I don't even know how to use reddit for instance. I'm a ridiculously asocial perma lurker who has been here for a long time. 10 years ish? Boxxy was big, and I was here for puddi so at least that long. /ic/ was much later though.
No, I'm solely the product of this place good? And bad. Yay! Now you see, I've never really ascribed to some of the notions here, especially not that those driven from here deserved it or that it made this place better.
I'm after a place i believe in, for the sake of those anons in the past, yes, but more so for the future. Cynicism needs to be balanced with sentiment. Psychopathy needs to be cared for, not passed on. And dialogue succeeds when it is earnest, not when it is stilted by hate, jealousy, bitterness, etc.
Now if you'll calm down, I promise not to try to hug you too much

How can a guy with a free hugs sign be mad? Lol. People can learn. This place lightening up a bit over time is ironically proof of this.
But even rainmen need sleep. Cya tomorrow and study hard anons!

>Art quality is not subjective
so fucking stupid. How is your art going after watching 20 hours of PragerU lectures, dipshit. The only aspect of art that is objective is life drawings, and that is all of it.
