>>4922504
I find two particularly good resources to make sure /beg/s stay /beg/ forever.
1) DAB or drawabox:
>Pro's :
It proposes an extremely restricted and frankly gimmicky approach to drawing with low quality instructions and the instructor himself is a middling artist even though he's been at it forever and received formal training. The culture surrounding this site is ideal for stagnation, frustration and procastination. Drawing there becomes a chore to be avoided and be done with quickly instead of a meaningful process that combines analysis and intuition.
>Cons :
There are some small gateways to legit resources like Vandruff's perspective and Proko's anatomy which get pushed in the site. This is problematic and i've been trying to negate this by spreading false rumours about them within the DAB community. Thankfully not many escape ngmism throught said gateways.

[Anonymous No.4922540]

Pathetic fucks. I offer redlines and advice for all my followers as well as personal library of resources. I may not be a pro but I can bring few people from stick figures to int-level, and actually mentoring two newbies. For ever person you crabbed I’ll bring two up, so everything you’ve done is naught. You’ll fail both at getting better at art and sabotaging others, change your ways until it’s too late or die bitter and skilless.

[Anonymous No.4922545]

Here's some tactics

>Watch a video on "how to draw mechs" instead of learning industrial design

>Watch "how to draw dragons" before learning to draw animals

>Watch"how to draw heads" videos that teaches you 3 angles at best.Learn them by heart.

>Never study perspective,because "muh sounds like math",just watch some tutorials on it if you want to draw a town or stuff

>Jump into anatomy before everything else,even gesture

>just draw,practice everyday even if you have been hit by a car or if you must taking care of your mental health

>don't learn realism,instead just pretend that this style is overrated.Also dont draw from life or people will judge you

>You suck at drawing landscape?Men?Women?Vehicules?Fine just don't draw it

>there' s nothing wrong with using 947362746 layers,it's okay we don't learn in the same way

[Anonymous No.4922546]

>>4922534
2) Facebook study groups:
>Pro's :
The social formality that's not entirely lost on facebook boomer groups ensure that real criticism stands back in favour of validation. They tend to spread very poor taste and 'humor-based' styles. The low output of work and the very strict guidelines kill creativity and honest self-assesement. They are also really bad at finding fee learning materials and are impressed by boomer watercolourists top 10 tips videos.
>cons
there's a limited range of action and you have to dedicate too much time to sway the culture of these groups (although it is already close to ideal ngmist). The scale of these groups is small and therefore might not occupy as much time as DAB.

Recommending either of these two should be default for anyone who wants to crab in easy-mode.
/asg/ deserves a special mention, its approach guarantees perma-ngmi, however it is a heavily autistic place and you could always accidentally come across loomis or vilppu.

[Anonymous No.4922552]

>Kim Jung Gis tutorial

I actually just finished it and thought it was interesting. Granted it’s mostly watching him draw quietly for like 4 hours but the little things he does say are good. It’s more of an insight into his approach than anything. I wouldn’t say it’s useful for a complete beg but if you’re capable of watching someone’s process and learning from it then it’s actually pretty cool. Ultimately his whole point is “observe” and that’s reflected in the course. Also hilariously the other points I’d take from it are “draw a box” and “know perspective”. Beyond that it’s pure visual library building

Op here. I love all my /ic/ brothers but realistically the people here are below average on almost everything and most of them won't make it either way. I want a better discourse for crabs to follow. Better strategies and tactics to take out and deploy into the world.

I don't understand this place. Is this ironic shitposting or do you people genuinely go out of your way to sabotage the development of others? Why should anyone come here?

Ok, this is hilarious. But I can't help but be constructive and put people on the right path. It's the righteous thing to do and it gets me respect.

How do I stop being a pussy bitch and learn the art of the crab bros??

God damn, I knew you guys existed and nothing can be done to stop you/stop more people from becoming like you, but damn. I never thought I'd catch you blatantly admitting to it.

Kinda makes me not downplay the whole thing, thanks for the heads up. I'll pay attention to more reputable resources. Fuck the comments and posts.

Spent too long trying to make sense of this stupid image. It's obvious that's not how skulls work or look....I think this board needs an intervention.

Loomis doesn't know what skulls look like either.
