The mind, like any muscle, has to be worked hard to develop artistic talent. You don't meet your goals at the gym by eating cake and being lazy bones. Here is a link to the video that got me interested in learning to draw; The artist, as you can see, is meh, but after six months of conscious exercise and good habits, he's really good. X ; The only issue is that he was entirely focused on rendering cute Asian girls from references, so if you want to step up the game you gotta put even more effort and strife into it. (And also he's the founder of Blender guru so he's kind of cheating by already being a master in digital rendering, but hey, you dont have to be good in six months so long as you stay on the road to it.) Here's another video I love that also I believe also has links at the end to help out new artists. This man started drawing in his adult life, and suffered a debilitating injury early into his struggle. He talks about why he draws and he's probably more motivational that I am. X This is the link to my favourite artist on Youtube, Istebrak. She's real, she literally has a video entitled, "Why Your Art Sucks." She would never lie to you by telling you how much she loves your art; she wants to improve and is even more unforgiving than I am. You'll love her.... eventually. X And here's Proko. He'll give you half of what you need to know about anatomy but the other half is locked behind a paywall. Maybe you'll want to join his anatomy classes and pay for premium content, but his free videos will get you a good part of the ways. All his videos are lovely, high quality, and written with humour not to bore you with all the technical detail. X There's nothing toooo important behind the paywall if you make use of other resources and figure drawing sites. Dernière modification le 1492636020000 |

Omfg tyty for staying ;-; (Pls don't abandon me or the rest of us) I love the colours on the second one and how they blend so well, the pose gives it that dramatic entrance like the heros do. The words adds to it too. |

Your art is amazing! I love the way you draw the feet of these mice. They also express a lot of emotions and colors emphasize it. You have an amazing sense of dynamics that makes them look as if they were about to move away. I think, if you don't give up in the future, you will draw really well and your style is good for making animations. I think, that without any problem you stand out from other artists with your style. I'm not without reason writing in your thread! Seriously. I saw a lot of artists, but your style attracted my attention. |

The sssstuff looks great, I really love the black and white, it kindof sets this mysterious, delicate/fragile mood to the overall piece. What is something you enjoy drawing the most? (Whether it be mice, backgrounds, etcetc) |

I've been thinking a lot about what it is about art and why I do it; I dont know whether it's a requirement that a hobby be something you necessarily have to enjoy-- like going to the gym or walking the dog-- it's simply a habit that is bound by third-party consequences, like getting fat or being ostracized by the community for animal abuse. The third-party consequence that I do not make art would simply be that I forfeit any and all of my meager ability to make friends and connect with other human beings, however infrequent my internet privilege is. It's only because art is so boring, like many ex-artists on the site have pointed out, that I strive for improvment... It's only because I was so behind literally everyone at the beginning, six months ago, that I accidentally surpassed normal upward skill bounds and tightened the improvement curve-- through sheer determination. I hid my first mouse drawing behind a milkjug. It's so ridiculous to me that I'm compared to other artists when my style and progression for the past five months hasn't settled down for a week-- though maybe I draw more like certain people now than I did six month ago, idk. I know I am a particularly strange person, and not at all approachable, so maybe I'm just an idiot and the hate I receive is entirely justified. I don't like drawing, I just want to be noticed, I want to be something that is worth reaching out to and my personality alone just doesn't make the cut. I'm okay with people hanging around me for free art, only if they at least act the part, and I'm entirely okay with being hated. Apathy is the only thing that wouldn't be ideal, but apathy is what the energy of the forum is moving towards every single day. Look, I've got disorders more dehabilitating than I let on, even when it was months ago when all I did was post edgy vent art and sad comics interspersed with the most bare-bones rendition of a style that I could come up with. Nobody ever wants to explain when I do things wrong, I'm just expected to know, though I don't know. I've got excuses upon excuses but how could I ever expect to break this twisted mess? I've considered, so many times, to come off the medications and just make or break myself... but probably a lot of people in real life would get hurt, including myself. So for now I'm stuck here, leeching whatever interaction is thrown my way, good or bad, because it's the only feeding ground that I've been lucky enough to cultivate and I'm actually so proud of myself that I haven't ran away or changed my username like some mice do. I strand alone against the tide of my self consequences, hoping I either sink or swim. Absolutely none of that made sense or is what I'm supposed to have said. Let my try again; I like drawing the little feetsies, yes, they'd so cute and fun to pose around with-- the ears, too, have so much personality in them and right now I'm experimenting ways to personalize mice designs in the face (head shape, eye deaign, muzzel design) and soon maybe even in body type, too??? I'm still working on it lol. |

I've been thinking now and again about the forum and how everyone says it's dying or not fun anymore-- and some of the mice here even make a claim that I am somehow the root cause of this phenomenon-- and so I've been tossing around the idea of a monthly celebration of any mouse who has been actively contributing art or requests or fanfic or even suggestions to the community; I haven't decided if the prize ought to be a fur of the winners choice, a drawing by yours truely, or both-- I do know, however, that I would like to make a call for nominations who, once passing my inspection, would be entered among a public vote. I'm thinking of making a thread for each month that would showcase the contributions of five to six mice-- the poll would obviously be at the top of the thread. I just think it would be a meaningful and fun thing to maybe keep active mice around and even bring new mice into the forum community. To get this happening, please send me a nomination of a mouse you think has contributed and is active on the forum and if I get at least five to cast a vote from, the June's Mouse of Distinction 2017 could hopefully begin. (You cannot nominate yourself but I'm not banning mice who hate me from being considered or entering the poll) (I'm more than prepared to spend 60 something pounds a year on a project like this, but if you'd like to opt into providing the winner's fur every so often I would be grateful, assuming I can get this off the ground-- it has to be a community effort and I'm willing if everyone else is) I'll probably make a few calls for nominations before I give up on this, lol, hopefully I can get enough to cover two months of Distinctions but I have a sinking feeling that no one clicks on my thread anyway.

I'll keep checking your thread (^: I might not say anything, but I will lol I like the idea of trying to bring some life back into the forums, so good luck with your plan! |

Interesting idea. I'd honestly say that the forums died around the time the flash forums were replaced with this one, but now they're just going at a steady decline. (I think the entirety of TFM--game and forums--is dying). Fanarts is past its golden years, but it'd be interesting to see if it could be turned around. Luck. |

I believe the official forum has more of a chance than Anvil God, I just know I can bring this forum back if the mice who hate me, or learned to hate me from others, could let go of that anger and resentment for the good of the community. I know plenty of mice think the forum would be better without me, but I'm also the only one with the insanity, contrivity, and obsessity to even attempt to save it. I'm not the hero Atelier deserves, but I am the one it needs. This would all be so much easier with internet, though. Dernière modification le 1496702280000 |

Ahh shit :,) I feel like I'm contributing to this dying forum since I have been getting bored of just drawing mice and locked two threads. I can definitely feel the forum dying, since I have joined about a year ago everything feels different...much quieter...I wish it was like the older days however looking back on my art and how I acted before I rather not turn everything back in time. But your idea sounds like it might work as long as there's enough people to contribute to it. I never hated you :,) I basically fell in love with your art when I first joined and you were my inspiration too..And I remembered your very old style too..ah memories. |

Love me, talk to me, inbox me, have conversations with me, capture this light that seeps out of darkness and convince me that I'm not a product of my own imagination. Let the universe orbit the density of my heart, crawl out of the abyss of sensibilities. I want to feel human... ...but I'm just a mouse. Dernière modification le 1496769660000 |

Ah..I wish I could have a conversation with you however..I tend to cling onto the bad of the past and I'll be constantly reminded of what I did wrong. I'm a mess of feelings, whenever I'm reminded of a certain thing something everything starts to bubble up and I have to choke it back down. I don't want you to hate me..which is why I kinda kept a bit quiet... Basically I could have a conversation with you but my lack of self esteem and feelings holds me back and I don't want to make a wrong move and you'll hate me forever. Oh this got a bit depressing. Tell me if you want me to edit my comment I'll understand Dernière modification le 1496798340000 |
