Ai bros are honestly miserable idiots. They just have a "mine mine mine" mentality, they're hypocrites, and they have the emotional maturity of a 2 year old. So we shouldn't mind it. We shouldn't quit, and we shouldn't give them what they want They can say "get a real job" all they want. Happiness is expensive, and we shouldn't give it away. Keep creating. What are they gonna do? Throw a tantrum?

Tiktok is a hellhole for artist, people don't care as long as the artstyle makes the charector look attractive,if it doesn't,hell breaks loose 😭

She looks very cool! The ballet theme set with her is just amazing! :D

Art lore is a insult for art community.

I'VE ENCOUNTERED THIS GUY OH MY GOD, I WAS GIVING OUT FREE ART AT THE TIME (Cause I was young and bored and just liked drawing things for people) I STILL HAVE THE ART SOMEWHERE ON MY OLD TWITTER ACCOUNT LOL

i love the way you talk about her! every new fact about her just endears me further

I hate when characters are killed off just for shock value. I also can't stand the amount of "adult fun time" scenes there are in shows nowadays. >.<

1:19 to skip the stuff about the character

I despise the Lucky Lewd trope. Its horrible. The plot shouldn't be driven by the miscommunication trope. It ruffles my feathers like so much. I love a good tragic romance too!! I have it my comic too!! Its so good when done well. I eat that shit up

Proper love triangle but the girl ends up getting the boot XD

some tropes dont't even make sense and are kind of forced or like some weird thing we need to have like a bathouse or beach episode where the guys just have to perv on the girls or there's like a panty heist or something, these all seem to be anime and japan centered where grown ups liking animation is normalized, I woudln't mind it as much but it seems every anime HAS to have a beach episode and everyone is super weird about adult relationships which I get but they go about it in such a weird way.

Yeah. Solid list. The 1000 year old kid is a big one. 2. MLP specific. “But they’re cousins.” Y’all, it’s horses, they don’t work like humans do. 3. Dead or comatose mentor 4. Villain = automatic dickhead parent. 5. Love triangles. 6. Body swap. 7. If you’re an autistic coded character you’re automatically a Sheldon. Like bruh, there’s other ways to autistic code characters, my guy. 8. Breaking up family units without reason. 9. Auto love. 10. The whole feminine vs tomboy thing. Like she can be and do both and it’s fine.

OMG I had someone commission me who was SUCH a creep. He commissioned me to do multiple my little pony artworks, and always talked about how much he wanted to screw one of the characters, and he talked in the discord kitten shit. After he started venting about how terrible his life was I told him that this was strictly a professional relationship and he flipped out and changed his name TO SOMETHING ABOUT KILLING ME 😭 He was over a decade older than me too like EW!!

Totally agree! (Commenting for the algorithm)

That is so true, and I really need to learn to get into that "just fun and experimentation" mindset again

Oh my god, the part about the stiff poses! I have this issue too, I had no idea that this could come from there. Used to have an almost photorealistic style, and even now it is more detailed and realistic than most.

This is such a good video! I think you described everything perfectly!❤️ I’ll be on the lookout for more of your videos in the future and maybe even subscribe

Good luck going back to school 🥰

I don't have enough self inserts ( I actually don't have any) I should insert myself into MORE media

Kinda glad I avoid art TikTok and TikTok in general. All this art regression and bullying just makes me so sad. Art styles change. Art tastes change. It all shifts with time. And younger and newer artists don’t deserve to be put down either. Artists should be raised up for their interests not put down for them. Also big difference between critique, criticism and bullying. Like gahdamn. Art lore is so stupid and I’m just so sick of it all. So so sick of it all. So so sick of it all.

LOUDER FOR THE KIDS IN THE BACK! 👏👏👏👏 I'm not on tiktok any longer (thank god) but I hear so much about this kind of stuff. It's so exhausting. Thanks for bringing it up and giving your opinion. I agree with all of this tbh.

as much as I want to be a part of a community and engage in the big picture, social media has damaged our collective minds so hard that I think I'm better off being invisible at this point.

i liked art before it was dramatic. that’s rather sad.

this inspired me to sit down and draw without any pressure. thanks :-)

Yes! Absolutely agreed!

I suffered the whimsical child to a perfectionist who hates everything that isn't ideal pipeline for awhile and it really does just make you miserable. Constant burnout, self-hatred, stopped drawing for weeks, would take down old art and barely post new ones. Pretty much forgot I was a passionate hobbyist who draws for * fun * and little else. Once you abandon that mindset it's so much better and actually exciting again. The less stressed you are the better you do, and If I think somethings bad, and I don't want to post it, I might post it anyways and just go, "well it's not the greatest, but it was an experiment and I learned from it lol." Then move on and be content and happy to start a new drawing.

Yes, I totally agree! Perfectionism usually leads to burnout, because perfect is not achievable, and non-artists mostly don't see your mistakes anyways. I let go of perfectionism a few years ago and I'm so much happier now. I draw more and enjoy the process way more than before!

art tiktok is like art rants of old

I paint minis, i use references for stuff all the time, there's nothing wrong with it

So art “lore” is just regular toxic crap? How is it lore?

at the end of the day, what would help all of this is kids being less online. Most of the folks fostering this kind of cruelty are usually pretty young, often middle schoolers. And middle schoolers are notorious for being incredibly cruel and apathetic in a lot of ways, along with falling into "us vs. them" mentalities. If you're a young learning artist, don't seek validation for your art online. Show your friends, family, and people who might be interested in real life. Ideally, the healthiest thing to do is to stay off social media to be honest.

we're just primed for outrage and its what gets views so most social media is there just to make you mad and engage with the site, so now we got all these people piling on each other like its the norm, I am considering finally making a tik tok just to get some infamy but I doubt i'll be that lucky or able to take the negativity if I do get up there

TikTok art lore just makes me sad ngl. It’s so depressing.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

I just looked at some of my old art a few days ago and it made me smile. I don't have a whole lot of my old art because it got destroyed so I treasure the pieces I do have. I refuse to spend a lot of time on TikTok especially the art side because those people are vicious. At least on IG the few people I do reach are all really kind. Though I know there are still toxic people on there as well.

this is a problem with our system and how copyright works and how we have to constantly see our work as a commodity, art should be the common property of everyone, with respects to the original creators that we can get into, but copying other people is how you start making something new and I struggle with this myself

. i've always found it easier to make original content, rather than fan content. that's because whenever i'd make fan stuff, i'd be constantly worried about making the characters OOC. but when it comes to original stories, there's no reason to worry, since they're my characters and i CAN'T make them OOC! i was in a cycle for *years* regarding this, which would look like: join fandom > make fan content > be worried that my fan content is breaking canon > make up my own characters and setting within the world, so that i'm not breaking canon or going OOC > realize that what i've made only barely relates to the canon and could be an original, inspired story if i were to rework some minor details > remove the story from fandom and make it into an original story > now i don't have fan characters anymore and therefor don't partake in the fandom > rinse and repeat anyways, i think it would be cool if you made a video talking about the phenomenon where artists will draw a character from media SO MUCH that it eventually just turns into their oc. i don't think there's a term for this, but i've seen it a lot and it's even happened to me!! :O :D ^^

While I personally don't make fan art anymore, its what got me into drawing in the first place. Now, I have my own giant sandbox that I love to play in and I'm happy with it. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy looking at other peoples fan art and characters. Just playing in that box just doesn't really do it for me anymore.

This argument is so stupid and I’ll stand by it. Fanart is a blast! Original art is a blast! Let people do what they want damn it!

it never was, how can u draw something you never saw ? or you know , not everyone has photographic memory XD , these people who keep saying that its cheating are 100% beginners who just started drawing or never improved which is a good indication for me to just cut the person out of my life haha don't have time for newbies , even Kim Jung Gi tells his student to study the subject fully first, Imagine being task to draw a Jet Engine in full detail inside and out without ever seeing one you wont even know where to start , or maybe uve never saw a horse and you draw it with fingers and still refuse to use references , you're just going to keep drawing horses with fingers over and over again in a wrong distorted angle , without realizing you're wrong XD see ??? DISNEY uses Live footage references he recorded to make the animations we see today References is just another tool like our brushes and canvas, if one Cog is missing then the whole machine wont run properly

i had a run in with this.....gentleman

ok I'm pretty sure I know who your talking about he has many accounts and begs for free art of that character but he has a piss poor attitude

I totally agree. The whole “using references is cheating” argument is so stupid. Also this is not the video where I expected a Felidae reference but when I tell you I got so excited. It was one of my favorite movies as a child (I know, probably not the right age to watch it) and I still like it a lot

What?!! Is reference cheating?? Hell, I trace shamelessly if I just want to get started drawing. But don't use it all the time. If you want to learn how to draw without tracing, then practice eyeballing. Use only vertical and horizontal lines to see what lines up with what. (I have videos where you can see the lines I'm talking about) If you want to draw without eyeballing and draw from imagination then you have to study and observe whatever you want to draw. If you want to draw anatomy/muscles then you have to observe bodybuilers from every angle and understand how muscles twist and bend ect. But drawing without reference is just ridiculous, you have to, if you want to get better

I am more persistent about telling people about using references than those church people knocking on your door. Everyone should use references. No matter what you are drawing. It always looks so much better than when you don't.

Yeah. TikTok is insane. Referencing and Tracing aren’t the same tho tracing can be a form of reference to a degree. Like goodness 😊😊😊.

Nice explanation about the visual library. I sometimes come up with something that I think it's original only to rewatch a movie from my childhood and see it there. I didn't even remember. I also feel these types of issues come up more frequently with the younger fandom.

I don't know it big think about people saying you are using reference but one thing I remember learning from one of art teacher told me If you are thinking something in your mind that is not going to work and always best to used reference. I also used reference pose for my animation class, and I always had to show were I got that picture for using resource and credit the artist.

I don't understand... has the internet conflated "referencing" with "tracing"? Like its it's a euphemism? That would be stupid, but its the only way I can wrap my head around it
