Art Communities

[Anonymous No.4689449]

Shill your art communities here.

Discord / Forums / wherever.

Personally, I would like find a place with only a few people that draw regularly.

Do you have that place?

Do instagram and twitter count in any form?

Cuz if it doesn't I think it's honestly just /ic/ for me.

[Anonymous No.4689479]

I tried making friends on servers and it's good, but the more I talk with them the less I draw.

I want to make friends with people and talk but I also need to keep practicing. It just feels empty being at a desk all day and not talking to anybody, it's quite lonely.

Do the mental deep dive, get into the zone.

Drawing gives me all the company I need.

That's why I don't join art communities.
It is all useless and will dsitract you from improving.
One must act accordingly and observe themselves.
If their skill will grow people will follow them.
People in art communities just want to have a back pat for anything they do.

[Anonymous No.4690493]

>>4689868
You don't get it, art communities are transient, you join them to find those 1 in (what) 100? 1000? committed and supportive people that become your art friends, that you then get to keep when the community inevitably dies.

Mods are usually on top of it, but one is constantly jumping into every drama with their own opinion and over shared history.
One person constantly bemoaning that they don't get enough attention on their posts and it's all because their work sucks /wrist
People who ask the same fucking questions but in different ways because they never like the answer they got the first time.
People who ignore or don't notice the obvious fucking rules pinned to the top.
Those /beg/s who declare themselves as "good artists" with an obnoxious intro post and it's like where the fuck is the good in your work that you're referring to?
Those people who give advice in response to questions and have no fucking idea what they're talking about.

Still would like to speak about artwork people post and get my artwork to be talked about.

I opened one at some point but there were too many degenerates who would stink up the place and didn't contribute anything good. Then too many political discussions so it was annoying, definitely not worth starting one if you know youre going to have to moderate it so people dont post questionable shit that can get you in legal trouble if at all possible.

Yes exactly this, I was a naive retard for making one.

[Anonymous No.4692237]

>>4692210
The one I made reached 55 people. That "joke" which gets posted about how people dont actually draw on /ic/ is 100% true. Out of all those people who joined only 10ish posted any actual work. You will have to find people who actually draw somewhere else. Or people who are good enough to give useful critique or direction. It's rare that I can learn something from most people here and its only been a year. There were spammers in mine too.

[Anonymous No.4692446]

>>4692237
55? in how much time?

[Anonymous No.4692448]

Ok retards, here's a system you can use for your garbage discord server to make it less garbage

When person joins, they are allowed to post in only one specific channel, where they will be requested to post their work. After posting work, community members will vote on the skilllevel of the person using reaction emojis to make it easier. Person gets assigned beg,int or pro role depending on how the community chooses what their skill level is.

After becoming a member, person gains access to art channels which includes reference/inspo channels, general chatting channels etc. Every member regardless of skill level will have access to these.

Skill level comes into play with skill specific channels where people are allowed to post their work. So for example. beginners will have their own channels to post work/sketches, int people will have their own.

As these 3 levels are built like pyramid, higher level will have access to lower level channels alongside their own, meaning someone who is proven to be more skilled than a beginner is allowed to give critiques to beginners. Thus Pros will be allowed to visit every channel.
You will be allowed to see what people post in higher skill channels, but you wont have access to posting there.

This does create the environment of elitism, but as the roles are designated by the community itself, it should work like a self-regulating structure where everyone knows who's giving advice and if their advice is worthwhile

On question of moderation and power abuse, Taking role of moderator should have its drawback as to prevent abuse. Such as if moderator is proven to be abusing power,they will be banned permanently.

This does seem awfully similar to what we do but it's not me who wrote this. The whole goal of the ngmi gulag on ArtKings is so as to not have people waste time on people that don't draw. To give you a sense of scale we have 40 ngmi members and 160 regular members. There are only 2 active artists at any given time in ngmi.

They are ngmi for a reason.
