Ahh pocstuck; the bane of my very existance.

It's amazing how this blog is actually teaching people. And by that I mean, teaching how thin the line is between ugly tumblr art and full-on racist caricatures.

I don't think anyone here is suggesting that they hate digital art or that it's a bad medium.

If anything I would say a bigger issue is the community/culture that's come to surround digital art, specifically a very particular sub-set of the digital art community that's gained more traction as of late now that there's a ton of teens and 20-somethings who've only ever worked digitally (an incidentally has a lot of overlap with the SJW artist communities) but don't really have a proper grasp on the tools or the basics of art to actually use either to their fullest potential. In my experience, such artists tend to not see the point in learning the fundamentals when digital tools can provide so many shortcuts and it makes them extremely stubborn and difficult to teach. They don't see the point in drawing from life (or utilizing the hundreds of online resources that would make life drawing practice for digital art easy) when digital art software typically has layers, opacity settings, and transform tools; they don't see the point in learning color theory or how to blend/color mix when there's an eye dropper, multiply & overlay settings, and a smudge tool; and sometimes they don't see the point in figuring out how do line work and develop habits that are actually more time/energy consuming like doing the same gesture over and over until they make the right line or making a million sketchy lines. It also seems to be the origin of a lot of bad artistic advice that gets passed around in circles like Tumblr - majority of the time an artist claims that straight up tracing is "valid," it's a digital artist saying it.

With the Inktober debacle the artists who screamed the loudest were the exact kind of artists who exemplified all these bad habits, complete with bombarding the host Jake Parker with before/after shots of their art similar to this one that only served to prove Parker's point. And they wouldn't be SJWs without a healthy dose of baseless accusations in the form of calling traditional art ableist and classist, even though none of these complainers were actually disabled (or were """disabled""" due to their own bad art habits) and the supposed cost effectiveness of digital art is practically non-existent nowadays with how many art programs are defaulting to a subscription plan, the combined cost of a computer, tablet, & necessary storage, and I've noticed a lot of the Tumblr artists who make this claim often have someone else (namely parents) footing the bills for the heaviest costs to digital art.

To sum it all up, a couple pages back I made an analogy for this situation that still sums up my feelings on the matter:

That's quite an interesting point about how digital art is getting more and more expensive. Iv noticed the tablet company Wacom dominate the tablet market with honestly awful prices for what you get. This is also added by the fact that there is such elitism with what tablet you have, what software you use.

Digital is a good gateway into developing some art skill but I would defiantly say that traditional is more skill required and more rewarding.

Well, when you put it that way, yeah, I totally get it now. Hell, it all starts to make sense, too, especially when you see how some of these younger artists have rapidly devolved in terms of art skill over even one to two years. All from being surrounded and insulating themselves in these bubbles that mollycoddle their underdeveloped artstyle, stunt artistic growth, and all that 'uwu valid' pablum mindset. They don't want to do anything that would challenge them and push them out of their comfort zones, when such a mentality is actually the anthesis to what an artist should be and/or stands for.

And lmao, yeah. When you factor in computers/iPads, drawing tablets, art programs... when you can get a sketchbook, pencil, eraser, and inking pen for a quarter of the price, it does make you wonder which one truly is the abelist/classist medium.

Also, apropos of nothing, but on Lolcow.farm's /snow/ board, there's a huge brouhaha going on with one of their pet cows, Holly Brown, and tracing. She's probably the furthest thing from an SJW you can get, but a lot of the points you made reminded me of that going on over at the other farms.

that depends. Sure it's a quarter of a price to buy some Traditional mediums but eventually your gonna have to buy new refills once in awhile. Same could be said getting new nibs for your tablet pen.

Digital art seems like so much more trouble to me. If you wanted to, you could pick up literally any writing implement and start drawing whatever you want, literally anywhere. In order to do digital art you need to be in all these specific circumstances before you can even do it. You need a device, you need a program, you need a tablet, you need money to buy those things...

It reminds me of one "ecological" installation in my city. It was a manifasto against climate change and bees dying and at the same time installation was made from lightbulbs with countless dead bees inside. But they were killed for artistic reasons so it's different story!
Same level of completly missing the point.

"Fiona" is hilariously bad, but those sketches have almost Dobson 's level of "too many lines".
