Please dont DM me to try and get me to commission you. I get it, its tough out there and youve gotta hustle. I would love to help a fellow artist out too if i could. If i find myself in a position to be able to afford it ill let you know but only out of my own volition. Not cause you asked - asking me makes me want to do it less (im sorry it does) i dont appreciate pushyness and maybe cause i dont depend on comissions I wont understand but what I can say is, Im just here as part of my art journey and to follow other people on theirs. If I like repost and comment on your work is because i love your work and want to at least get you some visibility but most importantly to encourage you to keep working on your art. Cause getting views and no interactions sucks even though we get told "dont do it for the views/likes" it still stings and thats okay. They're absolutely right when they say dont let it be the only motivator cause it will drain your soul and love for your art (which I hope you love what you do cause if youre trying to get easy money - this aint it chief). 😞 sorry for ranting 🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

@Beuto_ Is the eraser part having the same pressure issues? idk if it shows it.

tried many ways to fix this xppen tablet from updates, changed nibs, etc., is it really just the tablets fault here chat?

Drawing vs. Reference @scary_susu

Really gotta get myself to draw again. Been a bit since the last thing i worked on. Can't help but just feel torn/disappointment by not wanting to draw/feeling like it.

So I wanted to make one final point about criticism and art in general, because judging by some of the reactions to what I thought was very mild advice for beginner artists, a lot more people need to hear this. If you pursue art in any form, whether as a hobby or a career, people are going to give you criticism that is unsolicited, vague, subjective, harsh, or sometimes just wrong. That is unavoidable. What matters is whether you are mature enough to process it. You do not have to agree with every criticism or obey every suggestion people throw at you. But if your response to criticism is hostility, smugness, or treating every flaw pointed out in your work as a personal attack, you are going to sabotage your own growth. Part of the problem is that a lot of people have convinced themselves that art exists completely free of standards, technique or structure. Every time somebody gives practical advice, you immediately get people rushing in to say “there are no rules in art” or “just do whatever you want.” I think this mindset does far more harm than good. Every artistic medium has fundamentals. Drawing has anatomy, perspective, composition and colour theory. Writing has pacing and prose. Music has rhythm, scales, chords and timing. Comedy has delivery and setup. These things matter because art is communication. You can have deep emotions, powerful ideas, and sincere intentions, but if you lack the technical ability to express them properly, the message can completely fail to reach the audience the way you intended. Tommy Wiseau genuinely wanted The Room to be taken seriously as an emotional drama. Look how that turned out. A joke is not funny simply because the comedian intended it to be funny. It becomes funny through skill, timing and delivery. Art works the same way. People hear “art has fundamentals” and immediately hallucinate some elitist argument that you are not allowed to have fun or experiment unless you have mastered realism first. That has never been my position. Some people just want to draw for fun, relax, make things they enjoy, and spend time with friends. That is perfectly fine, great even. But there are also people who take art extremely seriously and genuinely want to improve as much as possible. Those people need honest criticism, even when it stings. Some of the most valuable advice I have ever received came from people who were blunt, harsh, and completely unconcerned with whether my feelings got hurt. Without that criticism I would not be where I am now. Some criticism will be stupid, malicious, or come from people who have no idea what they are talking about. Your responsibility is to sort through it, keep what is useful, discard what is not, and apply it where it helps. It is not your audience’s responsibility to perfectly phrase criticism in a way that protects your feelings. And honestly, a lot of people who claim they desperately want to improve actually just want validation. You can tell because the second somebody points out a flaw in their work, they become defensive and treat criticism like a moral failing instead of a normal part of growth. Eventually people stop trying to help them. Because despite what people online say, skill matters. Technique matters. Execution matters. Once you reduce art down to pure intention while dismissing craftsmanship and technical ability, it potentially opens the door to arguments that gen ai is real art too, and I'm not giving those fuckers and inch. So ask yourself honestly what you actually want from art. Do you want it to be a comfortable hobby where you unwind and have fun? Or do you want to push yourself as far as you possibly can, knowing that growth is often frustrating, repetitive and difficult? Both approaches are valid. But if you truly want to improve, you cannot spend your entire life demanding honesty while punishing everyone who gives it to you.

Is it too sluty?

@lancesir01 Happy birthday, i hope you get a nice break to draw soon!

Today's my birthday and i wanted to draw something special but got preoccupied

Honestly depends on your reach overall. I believe AleriiaV/LeraPi made a separate nsfw account for spicy posts and kept those there while keeping her main for the sfw version of her posts. Me im just a nobody and since my intent was 🌶 from the beginning so i just flagged it from the getgo. This site can be 90% shit to artists as it is and I rather play by the rules however vague they are. Just food for thought.

Question for 🌶️ artists, do you recommend setting my account to sensitive content? 🤔

@art_zey98 I use pinterest, bookmark a lot of cosplayers & models on here, I also have bought a lot of reference packs on gumroad and off artstation. I also use the free web version of magic poser too. Hope that helps!!

#artmoots Fellow artist..I wanted to ask...where do you get the reference you use for your art?

You know, theres a song by Ratatat with this same name and i think its very fitting. ♥️😎 open.spotify.com/track/0wP9okoD…

@pipipetals Honestly its not much but the ones i get are from the true homies ive met and interacted with them. I am immensely grateful to them for it.

Why does this always happen every time I post my art 😭 Can someone explain this to me? #artmoost #smallartist

@TheAzureCiel Ooo i got that one too!

can scammers be a bit more creative

Morning after repost. Reference (found on pinterest) + greyscale versions in comments.

Streets of cake? Caked fighter? Fatale Cake? 🤔🎂💕

chun-li and mai out for a swim🏖️

@8Ball_Squirt You're like a blade, nothing wrong with having to resharpen it from time to time. 🗡⚔️🎨

Something so demoralizing is having to RE-learn how to draw something you already knew how to draw in the past, but because you haven't drawn it in forever you don't know how to draw it anymore

Idk what ill draw next i sort of feel like i need a break

I know its sorta incomplete but i think i will call it here with this Juri drawing. I really liked my greyscale render of it and i really wish i could get better results with the coloring but eh, wont be perfect of course. Got so much more to learn.

Here's the greyscale render

This is the reference i started with.
