“Tracing 3D models is bad” “Using references is cheating” “Color palette theft is real” “Using shortcuts makes you worse” Let’s all go outside and drink some tea.

Lowkey hopecore how after the artfight rules were noticed, so many artists started posting about their use of 3D models in their work. Idk it’s nice to see the community come together about something like this.

I like drawing this ugly maned wolf

little vuga doodle. i'm not good with birds but i love to birdwatch

"Discobolus" by E. Shabelnik

WTF……

Things Fellow Artists Have Shamed Me For: - Using a stabilizer for lineart (I have tremors irl) - Using a symmetry tool or drawing symmetrically. - Using 3D models (PoseDolls) for reference and tracing. - Being inspired by multiple art pieces and incorporating it into my style. - Having a similar shade of a color in my OC to their OC. - Using any references. - Using armature wire or foil for structure, when I used to make small clay sculptures. - Not drawing everything on one layer. - "Red-lining" or "Redrawing" my pieces behind my back to improve them or just make fun of them. - Working on big canvases 3000-5000px - Using PaintToolSAI - Having a fully opaque lineart brush - Having super clean lines - Using purple or blue shading to learn about color theory (spoiler alert, it helped) This is just a fraction, but this new trend of all you amazing artists using the 3D reference literally proves all these mfs wrong. Like you can create HOWEVER you want, whichever way works for you. I have been discouraged before to continue my art journey due to my peers, but I literally refuse to let them win. Art is about creation. You literally are capable of magic. Fuck people 💖

art communities never used to feel this elitist. i miss creation without scrutiny. not everyone wants to study anatomy or color theory. some ppl just wanna draw. we have bigger fish to fry with gen ai taking over everything, why is everyone acting mightier than thou about ART? 😭

Brother Yuma 😔🙏

@poofylynx ya idk, literally the only way to know is if someone made a timelapse/recorded the process but I dont think people really do that that often :/ I swear if they start sussing and mass reporting people with good anatomy...

@shibescouts Exactly... how the hell are they planning to track those things down?? Especially self made references??????????

what is going on with these recent art fight rule changes, they are genuinely so buns. you can literally tell that not one single mod/admin/whatever works in the art industry professionally

Genuinely astounds me how there's grown adults who havent moved past 2010 dA logic when it comes to art

This is a mindset that will hold many artists back

Art is not just drawing. It's creating! Clip studio have 3d models to 'make sketches with' and I'll make sure to use them! :D

@Setrael yeah, I have no idea what was going trough their heads, like who caressssssss its a silly art gifting game not a study that needs to be graded😔 like I remember seeing so many meme redraws as attacks, they were fine w that before idk why they decided that its not ok anymore

@shibescouts How the hell do they plan to ban PHOTOBASHINGGG, the point is to literally make a new reference wth

I was somewhat inspired by all this after seeing this and reading the first chapter #ben10 #fnaf

@poofylynx IKR it sucks so bad, like how are they gonna know if somethings traced or not?? its just dumb imo 😭

@shibescouts ...ARE THEY SERIOUS 😭😭
