y'know, this might be a bit mean but it's kinda sad to see so many artists willing to risk the future of their livelihoods and "go down with this ship" bc they refuse to branch out and make their art presence known elsewhere online

#rebloggin this as well bc i cant believe i forgot to mention postybirb so THANK YOU!! #i used it a lot for twitter bc i hated just Being There LOL #it works like a dream #leaves much more time for activities

This is such a wonderfully worded and succinct addition, thank you!!!

#IT'S TRUE TOO

idk.. I totally understand not everyone has the luxury of doing this and most are established artists with rent and bills to pay. Maintaining multiple accounts across the web is hard and takes a toll on you. I'm not saying COMPLETELY ABANDON your twitter following and focus on building a whole new community or audience from SCRATCH while leaving all your other sites to rot in inactivity. Just upload elsewhere while focusing on your main site more. Despite FA being my main site for 9 years, I spent a lot of time bouncing back and forth between it and twitter (before I deactivated it 6 months ago). People will find you. You'll slowly (but surely!) gain a following again. Or at least know you have somewhere else to go when one site eats shit. Hell, if you're gonna go hog wild on one site, might as well look into hosting your own where you can keep everything in one place with relative ease.

But tbh, if you're unwilling to expand your own reach then, ur gonna get trapped. This be-all-end-all attitude that social media has embedded into so many of us is concerning.

SHRUGSSS maybe i'm “privileged” bc i've always bounced around with posting my art online, and never really stuck to one site super hard for everything. I enjoy the process of sharing my art too much even if it's something i've posted before LOL. So again, take my opinion w a grain of salt. I know good art sites are few and far in-between these days. Buzzly was so good before it ate shit, Nabyn had so much potential before it closed forever ago, that one site i forgot the name of ( i hated the UI and never touched it again LMFAO)…Weasyl is SUCH A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO FA that nobody wants to use (tho to be fair i don't keep pace with it as often as i would like, maybe i’ll bring that back soon??) i wish social media didn’t become the model place for artists to be when most of them aren’t built for us anyways. And that we focused more on maybe crowdfunding better sites we can actually rely on (and are made specifically for sharing our crafts). I also wish money wasn’t real and needed for literally everything and we could all just share our stuff w each other for fun and free and that be enough!!!

Hi! Anon from before who asked about fluidity and such, I have another question: How do you learn to angle heads / do different perspectives?

Did you take classes, use 3D models, or something else?

So sorry for all the questions, I really want to get better at angles and posing and such - facial expressions are a breeze for me, but I just can't keep proportions, anatomy, or poses right in my head.

TL,dr, how did you learn about all this stuff?

Don't be sorry! Asking questions is how u learn! Lil disclaimer that i'm sorry in advance if this answer seems kinda vapid and lackadaisical :")

I've never taken art classes of any kind in my life. A lot of what I know is from observing how other artists draw and tweaking their processes to something that'll suit my workflow and style better. I admittedly don't use 3D models as often as I should, but they speed up the process IMMENSELY. Sometimes i'll load up a model posing program and use it for just the hands/fingers LOL. It's actually helped me be more aware of how to segment parts of the body so I can "memorize" them a bit better. I actually cannot picture most things in my head properly, so I struggle with keeping tabs on proportions and angles of shapes and poses mentally too 😭

A fun lil trick I do to help with head angles tho that might help is i'll draw a "sheet" of paper over my main head form:

For some reason, i've found that this helps me visualize where the face goes and where it fits within a 3D space. As long as i know the general direction the oc is facing, I can bend and stretch stuff to fit as need be. IDK it's a simple way for me to keep track while drawing, and pretty effective too! 👇🏽

ok these are sloppy n off model a bit, but hopefully you can see what i'm getting at ghjsdfg. I've found making the "sheet" bigger/smaller to suit whatever you're drawing can help narrow down the angle better if you're struggling. Thinking of the construction of shapes and how they sit in a 3D space is helpful too. Most art programs have perspective rulers that you can use to keep a kind of guide of where your drawing is sitting on a perspective plane/grid. I use them when trying to do more dynamic postures!

Other than that, I literally just google/youtube whatever it is i'm trying to work on and click through as many resources as I can. Make notes of what works for me, what doesnt, what I can pick apart and reconstruct. I got my start in art by tracing other people's art onto printer paper when i was younger (never shared 'em, obvs) before learning people posted step-by-step processes of how they draw on dA (it's how I learned what "guidelines" where and how to use them in sketching) and using those. I spent a lot of my more formative years just mimicking other people's drawing habits and quirks until I found a set that worked for me, and expanded on that with just messing around in my spare time. Sometimes the only thing that helps is working through it until I get a result I like.

If you are looking for a more technical approach and wouldn't mind some critique on your stuff, I recommend a site called Drawabox.com ! I've never personally used it, but I have artist friends who have, and while it does cost a fee to access some of the video lessons, there are still a bit of free resources you can take a peek on that might help!!

SORRY FOR THIS LAME ANSWER HFGSHDF I have a very flippant approach to my art. Work smart, not hard as I always say 👌🏽👏🏽

Good luck!!
