This should be a motivational picture for you.
It shows skill isn't everything and appeal goes a long way. If you're not an NPC like Proko, chances are you've already won half the battle, now you only need to get some skills, which are way easier than becoming sentient.

Yes. In the draftsmen podcast episodes that were dedicated to those topics. In the AI one he even said that proompting made him really excited about art, something that he hadn't felt in a while

When AI art was lumpy and weird, it was giving fresh ideas about imagery. as soon as it got coherent, meh.

You can train it. Rinotuna has ideas about this. even as a beginner you could take from his process.

Cartooning is a skill & art in itself. Just learning the technical properties of representational drawing is not enough. This is one reason why I think AI fails at it so much.

[Anonymous No.6771220]

When you draw, take a simple concept and explore it. he does mind maps, writing words relating to that subject, connecting concepts etc and comes up with characters from that.

Thanks for the artist rec, saved for future studies.
Anons struggling with creativity should really try to understand writing as a creative subject. Scenes, abstract ideas and imagery can be pulled together very simply, but learning the process of it has to start somewhere.

I get what he's getting at tho. It's pathetic how people limit their artistic expression to the most vapid of subjects to appeal to the general unthinking masses
You end up with this chain of de evolution where the people who first started drawing anime were inspired by nature and movies and Liturature. But the next generation is just inspired by the anime, which is derivative, then the next generation is only inspired by that derivative anime so it's even more shallow and vapid and it just keeps going until we admit that it's WRONG to be inspired only by fucking anime girls.
It's pathetic.
I like anime too, but I make sure to also read Liturature and look at old art from various cultures so that you don't end up with stagnant and trite inspirations

Further up is about how you should be looking at the mundane around you and expanding upon it like all true sources of art and inspiration have been.
Nobody is telling you to look at a thing and turn it anime but rinotuna was likely brought up as a simple straightforward example considering half their art is expanding upon simple concepts.
Also unless you are the same person that is not what anon was getting at they were just trying to shitpost ironically because they aren't feeling well which is why they are on 4chan instead of drawing in the first place.

I think "expanding on simple ideas" stops being a virtuous endeavor when the only thing you ever expand it to is "anime girl"

Their brand of drawing is about as close to cartooning as photography is. You can be an untrained plebeian and make an exciting cartoon.

I'm really curious what kind of art those chuu2 anons draw? Especially because they post on 4cahn's /ic/. Something thought-prowoking and life changing like a bible fanart or portraits? Epic realistic paintings but with wacky le deep takes? Or maybe artist's shit? I mean yeah art attracts those kind of people even more than lit.

I don't care for Minecraft, but why are you trying so hard to shit on the art? It illustrates the original point quite well - if you want easy ideas anthropomorphize everyday things.
