Are (You) good at drawing cartoons?

i can't even draw a stick figure

>>150780740 (OP)
no

>>150780740 (OP)
I'm thinking I am

Yes, but I only like to drawn porn

>>150780740 (OP)
God i fucking wish, you know how many waifus I could draw if my wasn't absolute chicken scratch?

>>150780740 (OP)
this is fucking evil

Yes, but it's been a while since I last drew cartoons. Most of the time, I do porn commissions. I'm so tired of drawing cuckold porn, holy shit.

>>150780740 (OP)
Kind of. My anatomy is good, but the eyes I draw always end up looking amateurish.

>>150780740 (OP)
fortunately no

>>150780740 (OP)
nope, i have no artistic talent or creativity.

>>150780740 (OP)
Are you?

I have always wanted to learn to draw but I don't take any steps toward this goal, it's not that I'm afraid I'll fail so much as I'm afraid I will succeed and still feel empty inside

My hands are too shaky thanks to a neurological disorder. I'll let you guess what it is.

Yes, somewhat. I dominate an wide range of styles. and even if my range is absurd is not absolute. "Cartoon" style and what it truly defines can mean so much that it probably gets on thousands. I can do a few, but I would struggle something more classic like looneytunes or something art decó inspired like the early 2000's. I can do it, but is not natural.

I think that's is part of the beauty of it. anime and mangas have a certain appeal to it aesthetically and realistic works have a strong sense of impressive for the amount of skill necessary, the strong suit of cartoons is the breath and wide range of personality you can achieve, is what draws me to the aesthetic itself. Is also what limits me, because when see something good I will try to learn and copy from it, and given the absurd range cartoons can have I always feel like I'm not good enough.

>>150782074
>>150782236
let's see it

>>150780740 (OP)
Not good, but okay. I've come to terms with my level of drawing, but I always wanted more. I feel like I'm stagnating.

>>150784737
This is amazing, you did a great job!

>>150780740 (OP)
Yeah but im too shy to share due to a /co/ discord group

>>150787964
>/co/ discord group
I know about HYW discord group but not /co/

I was drawing this but gave up

I can only draw calarts stuff.

>>150788243
I've been so lazy with art lately, posting on Twitter/NG/Tumblr ECT has been fruitless. Shit, I only had a decent conversation about my comic in the OC thread. I miss porn on Tumblr, even dA has porn. Maybe I'll finish it anon, I'm just burnt out.

>>150788341
I feel you. Honestly I just drop every soc media and just draw for myself rn. It's a bit easy and more relaxing. I don't recommend it, but you clearly need a rest.

>>150788416
I dropped social media + /co/ for a bit, it was nice. I think I'm the type who needs some sort of feedback, idk I like hearing about others work and seeing new artists, as well as sharing what ideas I have.

>>150788558
>feedback
/co/ is deader than ever so I wouldn't count on it. But I think all artists like a bit of attention even if they don't admit it to themselves.

>>150788558
Plus it's always a gamble, you never know who will replay to you next, so >>150788243

>>150788558
cute artwork btw love dot eyes

>>150780740 (OP)
Without context this doesn't make a lot of sense, but basically, Ed Gein if he toxic cyborg. It's a redesign and rework of a character I couldn't previously find a purpose for.

>>150788632
Fuck I'll admit it. Attention is nice, but I don't like when it's overwhelming or fabricated.
>>150788655
It's a 50/50 chance so yeah, maybe I need to rest instead of pushing myself so much.
>>150788672
Thank you, it's just the vault boy style. God I love vault boy.

>>150788706
I forgot to actually answer the question like an idiot, damnit. I think I'm okay. I suck at getting things fully finished and construction feels really fucking annoying, like it sucks the fun out of drawing em but you need it to keep things consistent.

>>150780896
where are her organs

>>150788706
>>150788737
very cool, colors is very nice, such atmosphere

>>150784737
good art

>>150780740 (OP)
No I'm pretty bad at it. Can't really figure out how to improve.

>>150788244
liar, liar... I saw your work before and it was good

>>150780740 (OP)
God, I wish. I really admire cartoonists

>>150780740 (OP)
Kids in my class liked my drawings and would pay me to draw stuff for them but I never bothered to learn proper technique as I got older. Eventually stopped drawing altogether but I think if I tried and not let self-doubt get the best of me, I could git gud again.

No. I'd like to eventually. My goal for now is to fully ape Darwyn Cooke's style then build from there.

>>150780740 (OP)
no, but I'm somewhat of a prodigy at AI art

>>150790782
in her big spherical tits

>>150780740 (OP)
Drawing is fun.

>>150780740 (OP)
I mostly draw in a toony style because that's what I like but damn I should start actually learning fundamentals
>>150788558
Abandoned all social media in general and now only post on telegram and frankly it's nice. I'm not good enough to get a large following anyway and this way I can actually look at artists without all the clutter
She's cute! Why is she so mad?

>>150794675
Same. I'm an AI Artist.

>>150796022
More like an AI Jeet

>>150790872
Thanks anon, it feels very proof of concept to me but I am glad someone enjoyed

>>150796298
That’s nice work anon, you could make a newspaper comic strip out of that.

>>150795124
It is!

Nope.
But I have fun drawing things regardless... I'd post but all I've got is fakémon and drawings of my OC. I haven't drawn anything like fanart. I figure if I'm only drawing for myself no one will care if I draw something wrong.

>>150798431
Post your OCs anon! We want to see them!

>>150800192
I mean I guess I can - he's just an old character I've kept from my old TD fanfiction days. I sent him into those SYOC fics.
I'm still kinda proud of these pictures I draw even if they're not good.

>>150796022
>>150794675
This isn't even the best I've seen AI do.
Like these are shitty looking even regardless of any opinion on AI. Prompt harder, use better models, and maybe I will take you 1% more seriously.

>>150795671
>telegram
isnt that just a messaging site? either way, im glad it works for you! Your style is very cute, reminds me of early dA, I say in this nicest way possible
>She's cute! Why is she so mad?
aw well she is a guy lol

>>150801295
to clarify, theres three characters in that pic, the colored one is a guy

>>150796022
Nazz from EEnE?

>>150793586
source?

>>150801409
Yes.

>>150788191
Who's that? Kinda looks like the Dedter secret agent girl

>>150802119
my oc, drawn in the winx club style, shes the witch of bugs

>>150802282
forgot the pic, her sister is a fairy, havent drawn her yet

>>150780740 (OP)
All I'm good for is self-indulgent OC x Canon slop because shiptards and headcanonfags in every fandom I'm in make me want to kill them all and then myself
And I occasionally like to doodle for friends and some waifufags since it's fun

>>150780740 (OP)
I draw maybe once a week at most so no.
I need to lock the fuck in.

>>150802316
Are you that one chick that draws cute black girls?

>>150804622
If your thinking about mamapuu, no.

>>150780740 (OP)
Last time I drew here I kept getting banned so who the fuck cares anymore

>>150780740 (OP)
I'd like to think so, yea

>>150801217
they're just ragebaiting, the pictures being shitty is part of the bit

>>150794675
>>150796022
Good morning sirs.

>>150801295
>isnt that just a messaging site?
Indeed it's mostly a messaging app but you can create public groups where basically people can subscribe and they see all the messages you send. Make them mostly drawings and you've basically got a blog. Also you can rorward other people message's drawings to your page
>reminds me of early dA, I say in this nicest way possible
Thanks! No offense taken! Never been that into da but most of the stuff I take inspiration from is chibis from the 2000'-2010's and I guess that was really popular indeed on da
>aw well she is a guy lol
Sorry! I saw long hair and a necklace and thought it was a girl. Still, nice, simple style, he looks ready to cause trouble!

>>150805281
You do indeed! Cool rielaboration!

is this the donut steel thread

>>150780740 (OP)
i'd like to think so sometimes

>>150809381
no, its woya

i have a hard time getting figures to stay still in my head. i also have trouble imagining a face that doesnt exist, so even if i'm drawing OC i have to reference a previous drawing to get them to look like the same character. feels like trying to read in a dream

I say yes, but there's still room for improvement.

>>150811354
I'll give her a cigarette.

>>150803092
He lost his mug, how sad.

>>150788737
What is "construction"? All the process before finishing it or... simply crdrafting the design or whatever.

>>150788244
...
Would

>>150788632
>>150788726
I agree, getting positive comments and feedback is nice, but the kind of attention I look for is engagement. I want people to play along with me, and I haven't been successful on that.

Other than that, I keep the idea that I'm drawing for me, in the sense of giving life to my ideas, and seeing them come to fruition gives me a sense of fulfillment. The joy of making art, something I didn't think I could experience. And I'm using this time to hone my skills to one day realize my pet project.

I just wish I didn't take +12 hours to get a piece done.

>>150811545
engagement is really nice when you have someone to bounce ideas with and joke around with. I used to roleplay as a teen and it was the best since all the other players also drew.

>>150809403
I mean, you're good, but I don't think that counts as cartoon, right?

>>150811371
Shoot, is this a comission?

>>150811593
Nice, closest thing I can think of is this:
https://youtu.be/Lul51pj0z2Y?si=N1FyBmJf-OdmxpqR
(I laughed a ton at the Homer/Peter one)

>>150811593
yeah but where I can find this someone

>>150811679
I wish I fucking knew, now I'm going crazy all alone with my ideas

>>150811679
Check under your foreskin

>>150811398
His mug, his virginity, his helmet.
Is there nothing left?

>>150811975
His meat? Just look at those biceps.

>>150811527
She's ugly.

I can't draw for shit so I cope by being a 3D Artist, I yearn for simply being able to sketch something that doesn't look like shit, I cannot put my thoughts into drawn images my hands are simply too stupid.

>>150813110
Show us your stuff!

lately I've been drawing Anna from Frozen but copying Disney's 2D artstyle; the more I draw her in 2D, the less I like the original computer model
I must start rendering, but I am a sucker for 2D drawings

>>150800897
Hey don't put yourself down! May not be the most technically competent but I love all the little details you out in them, gives the piece a lot of personality!
The shoes especially

>>150811438
The process of drawing the basic shapes underneath at first that guide the final drawing to look more solid and correct perspectives

>>150780740 (OP)
I'm competent enough, I've been making a comic and when I finish I will post it here in/co/ and hope to gain a following

I'd like to think so

>>150814890
Oh, all right, cool. I can see that.

>>150780740 (OP)
i think leslie and brianne are hilarious. dunno if they fit a long episode format, but there's a few good jokes in that pilot too

>>150788244
Same but only Big Mouth..

>>150788244
ever considered that you DONT need to draw underage children that rip off anime characters in an unoriginal style?

>>150815669
>Big Mouth
you make me sick

>>150815849
I have never watched it, I refuse to give netflix money. The style is so ass ugly, drawing this made me sick too.

>>150780740 (OP)
yes but I'm better at drawing anime

Bump

>>150815223
Comic bump

>>150815693
She's an adult silly.

>>150815669
Would.

>>150780740 (OP)

prolly not

>>150780740 (OP)
No. It's why I love playing with ai so much.

>>150818452
Uh
What's going on?

>>150780740 (OP)
Yes

>>150819261

picture day at school

>>150780740 (OP)
Yes I draw all the time

Right now I'm just stuck with a post trying to figure out which spooky girl to draw

"good", "bad", most of the time it's our own fear of failure that gets in the way of making anything at all

>>150780740 (OP)
What counts as a cartoon drawing and what doesn't? Anyway, I miss drawing

>>150780740 (OP)
No

I thought about doing a Winnie the Pooh comic a couple years ago.

Something funny that happened while I was making a drawing for Ms. /co/ All-Stars.
>Jenny was supposed to be congratulating Frankie for winning
>She's like 30 cm taller
>Draw her first crouching to meet Frankie at eye level
>Draw Frankie
>Her proportions are all wrong because the space was too short to draw
>Fix by moving her on the paper
>Jenny's now enjoying the view

>>150780740 (OP)
I wish

>>150780794
Draw me something anyway.

If you're ever in a rut, try switching things up, whether it's a new brush, a different style or even going from digital to traditional (or vice versa)

Stopped drawing because I stopped believing that art has any kind of power or leads to anything good. Wish I could feel different

>>150824846
At that rate you may as well quit life if you're gonna be so easily defeated by something not having a lasting effect on the world. Do something because you enjoy it and want to, not to try to shape a world or public that will move like wind around your body anyhow.

>>150824939
Actually it's kind of the opposite. I never thought I was going to have a lasting impact on the world, what depresses me is that if anything gets too popular it just becomes propaganda used by random social media users to push an agenda.

>>150820976
neat

>>150825039
Well then just enjoy your small fandom while you have it. And if it gets so big that it gets coopted by the retards then at least you'll have a nice fat paycheck to do whatever you want with creatively. And the comic rights, if you weren't retarded and gave them total control over your creation.

>>150825306
Also, in regard to fandom, (which is the main point of the post I suppose) you shouldn't let that bother you either because it is simply impossible to control. Internet factions (most likely leftists) will coopt anything but they will refuse to support you if they know you are against them, granted they can't oust you from your own IP. (See Harry Potter and other such examples)

So just make your creation utterly repulsive to them in some philosophical manner and they should be out. Or you can cultivate an extremely degenerate fandom like the loud house and then no one's gonna touch you with a ten foot pole.

>>150820638
its fantastic

I worked on something for far too long now I hate it.

>>150830077
dubs of truth
well it's better to just finish it and go to the next thing

>>150830307
I really wanted to, was getting shaking from not eating and I had to stop. This is why I finish art in one seating. Sucks since I liked the sketch

>>150830413
if you liked the sketch you could start over from there if that sounds easier. don't give in to sunk cost fallacy

>>150830413
>This is why I finish art in one seating.
it's not good idea, you also need to rest, when your eyes are rested, you can then see your art and the mistakes in it in a new way, which can be more easily corrected in the early stages than in the later ones.
Go eat and give at least 15 min to think about anything else.

>>150821879
lmao, there are no mistakes. Just happy accidents.

>>150821879
Neat! Love how on model Jenny is!

>liked drawing in grade school
>drew islands and diddy kong and stuff like that
>older bro is serious about art since he was a kid
>completely mogs me at it
>feel like it's not worth trying and not interested enough to push myself, so give up
>never evolved my art skills past a 4th grade level
>brother works as professional artist now
In hindsight I should've kept at it for fun and actually learned how to draw properly. At least a tiny bit. I'm nearly 40 and draw worse than Chris Chan if I try.

>>150784737
Oh hey blackarmsfag. Really enjoy your fat and cute Jacks. Glad to see you also hang round /co/.

I agree with that cartoons are probably the genre with the most personality, especially given how simple it is. There's a little scientific research into this actually with lines and symbols matching how our minds interpret real objects. So the personality is the breadth comes from how it more directly interacts with our brain, maybe a little like a drug lol. It may be that we like it because it's closer to what we want to see instead of what's real, exaggerated silhouettes and forced strong shapes being examples.

>>150825466
Nice.

>>150780740 (OP)
>Tangets
is that a reference to that one art drama?

>>150824846
Art at it's core is self indulgence. We have been taught that self indulgence is inherently a bad thing, but in reality YOUR self-indulgence is also OTHER people's self-indulgence. When you make art that resonates with yourself, it will also resonate with others like you. The more self-indulgent and "individual" your art is, the more likely it will be a rare resonance with others that have had that need unfulfilled. Art is a human resource we currently have an abundance of, but it is still a vitally necessary NEED. Worst case scenario, we give total control of that need over to companies.

>>150825466
Wow . Go back to art school noob.
Here is my latest AI creation.
Batman arm wrestling bane and lifting weights at the same time

>>150795124
>>150797945
I really do think everyone should try and learn how to draw, even dumb cartoony stuff. Makes life more fun

>>150780740 (OP)
I’m still stuck on fundies, but I’m ok I think

>>150831157
You still got like 30/40 years before death, why not just do it?

Check out this one unfinished page i drew over a year ago

dawgz

>>150833384
Based. And wizardpilled. Your inks are also delicious, need to start drawing on paper again.

>>150834065
Thanks :P

>>150780740 (OP)
I can draw my husbando and that's all that is needed.

>>150835625
Very based, Randalbro
I should draw him for you again on something that's not MS Paint someday t. Tommyfag

yeah I like art. but now that the AI nightmare keeps getting worse I’m just going kill myself once I run out of money
