How to improve my art ( I do not trace my artwork.)?

[lolcow yoghurt]

Trust me, I don't want to piss off the art community more than I already have.

Piss them off, who cares? They can't do anything

They can ruin my chances before I even get popular at art . quickly. infact. :/

you should try tracing.

I just wanted to see the art you made! You came here asking for advice and linking to a lot of your social media. I got curious!

So the art community is all that's keeping you from getting popular in art? Rough beats.

Well, I'm still not the best artist and that's keeping me from getting there, no one is ever the best artist as we all work with different mediums etc, my goal isn't even a million followers, I just want to get better at my art work.

If you can practise, gain skills and start to produce work that people want to look at, the opinions of a handful of pissants on deviantart, trapped in their own petty obsessions, will be meaningless.

Use tracing as a tool to practise, if it helps. If the grand high poobahs of DA look up from their sparkledog OCs donut steel long enough to bust a blood vessel over it, then don't post the results. No big deal. It should only be a simple exercise to help you with accuracy. You should be churning out so many tracings and grid copies and referenced sketches and life drawings that your problem should be choosing which handful you should post up to demonstrate your progress, not if some tick on the ass of the internet doubts you over it.

TL; DR: stop wasting time trying to 'prove' things to strangers. You're responding in nice, polite ways to the trolls in this thread, which us commendable, but even that is offering too much appeasement to people who don't want to be appeased. Learn to filter out the white noise.

I do not take medical advice from people online as they could be fake Doctors and I've been there before, I am no longer gullible and I refuse to accept fake medical advice.

I was joking about the whole doctor thing, in case the 'real fake doctor' bit didn't tip you off.

If you're not trolling, I'm wondering if you're a minor. If you are, you should really not be on here. I wish you the best of luck in your art. Keep working, and you will improve. Don't feel pressured to post everything you draw online. Keeping a sketchbook that is for your eyes only can actually feel quite freeing, as you know you can express yourself without worrying about the opinions of others.

I am not a minor and would be happy to show you my Seeking arrangement account where I'm age verified if need be. ( I am being told that sharing my ID isn't safe and can result in impersonation, so I won't do that. ) Seeking arrangements makes us upload our IDs so we prove who we are.

I am also background-checked on that website.

So just wondering something, no offense meant. But why are you so obsessed with proving things to people? Why do you care what strangers on KiwiFarms think of you, or strangers on DeviantArt, or whatever other social media sites you use?

Why do you care so much what people you will never meet think about you? Just like, live your life.

Because my disorder is often triggered by stress & environment, I don't want to wind up hallucinating because people were careless about stress warnings. that I've given multiple times over. I don't want to be responsible for someone getting hurt if I hallucinate and hurt someone. My Hallucinations are something that can cause people many kinds of issues, and I don't want people getting hurt because of this. I'm a hazard to other people's health and that's why I tend to stay alone, and online. Online is a safe space for me despite the bad people on it. It's where I can communicate, and if I have that taken away from me, then I have no way of communicating. it's hard for me to socialize at times due to my disorder even if I'm very open online. I don't want some news article picking up the story and being informed wrong. I have people genuinely afraid of me and I don't want that. I've had people insulting me on Discord and I've broken down because of it, that's when I decided I wouldn't let it get to me anymore, and trolled them right back in those moments. It's why I accept them as compliments now because it helps me not be suicidal and not be a statistic. I'd rather not follow that trend of hurting myself and being responsible for that as well. I don't WANT the responsibility of hurt, so it hurt me when people said I hurt someone, and I didn't like that. I just want roleplay and fun on the computer, Roleplay helps me escape from my problems which is why I enjoy it so much. I do everything in my power to avoid stress. Because I noticed it can be a trigger for hallucinations. Stress is a major problem with my disorder and can cause it to react badly. I just want people to stop making fun of my disorders, and realize that if they continue to put stress on me, they can easily cause themselves to get hurt Emotionally by a hallucination. then it's their fault if they pressure me too much even with my warnings. People think it's funny to trigger people's disorders but it's actually not, it can put you at risk of hurt, and you need to be aware of this.

It's an autist thing. Remember how Chris couldn't handle the "mislabelings?" They're under the made-up notion that if it's believed or spoken into existence by other people, it becomes true.

The best thing i could actually recommend, I am into art myself, is to simply stop drawing fan art and draw actual classical art, or the best idea OG Content or characters. Fanart next to furry art is almost universally offers the low/ shitty tiers of art from the internet. Avoiding fan stuff and learning to simply draw still-life and landscapes as dull an idea that may be is treally the best way to make any improvements .

Oh, and of course, hundreds of hours of concentration and work will help.

If anyone is going to make this chick a cow thread, be careful before you use the images, as these types have been known to use other people's images in an attempt to send harassment to the person pictured. Not saying that's what is happening, but it should be kept in mind.


As for you. Log off. NOW. You are digging your grave with every message you post on here Samantha. You are a kangaroo in a minefield, a canary in a coalmine. Log off, work on your art, and try managing whatever disorders you have (even if you can't afford a therapist, there are books with helpful psychological exercises in them).

Here's proof that I, a fat person, loves salad and eat's it. I had to make the video short or it wouldn't fit.

How am I digging my own grave while posting facts instead of lies? I am NOT lying about who I am. I have video's proving that as well. :/

 

[manic dainty gorl]

Maybe if you make a video of your face saying you're SamanthaPrater on KiwiFarms and you made this art advice thread about yourself/your art. Jimmy is right that sometimes people will post on here using someone else's images to try and send hate to them, and the poor person has no idea they're on here. You know, don't want to find out you're someone else stealing SamanthaPrater's videos and pictures and pretending to be her! That sort of thing happens sometimes!

Because this is not a website one should be linking their real identity to. I'm telling you this for your own good. I don't care if I get another lolcow to laugh at, if anything it would be more fun for me. But I'm not heartless enough to not warn someone who is obviously naive that they're stepping into a lion's den of internet autism.

 

[Emily Cassidy]

Is this proof enough that I am the person in the photos? I added the date.

As long as they don't find my address, I'm safe . I want the real story out there that belongs to me, how can I do this with out making these videos? It'd be on them if they tried hurting me or something. most people aren't stupid enough to do anything that breaks the law.

By the way, I have eczema for those wondering what is up with my face, it comes and goes, so it often doesn't show in pictures or videos.

Also, you guys do not have my last name, just my first.

Not a coward, I have boundaries that must be respected. I'd respect your boundaries if you had them too!
