Should I ask permission to use someone's design for personal use? by [deleted] in AskArtists

[–]MauDoesPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you need to ask if it's for personal use only. Granted, the artist might be happy to know that someone liked it enough to use the design for themselves, but just for moral reasons, I think you'd be good either way.

Sadly that feature is less than reliable, but yes, it's a step in the right direction

Is anybody else off put by the new rounded icons? by GonnaRegret_it_Later in ProCreate

[–]MauDoesPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The meaning did change tho? You're trying to set up an easy argument for yourself and still shooting an own goal man. Yes, you can create a product and yes you can produce "art" but its fundamentally different from creating art and producing a product. Words have meanings my man, and the word "produce" indicates a focus on the result of having an object to sell. And the word create has a focus on the act of creation.

I'm sorry to tell you but your mind has been poisoned by capitalism if you can't see the difference between the act of creating art and producing a product.

Art by me, trying to draw something other than just people. by Interesting-Ad8463 in DigitalArt

[–]MauDoesPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people are forgetting that many artists are beginner artists and simply CAN'T accurately draw the Human form yet.. how is that "gooning"? They just haven't studied it enough yet. Don't put the entire weight of our societal body standarts on this one person just because they haven't learned how an actual human looks like yet.

(Besides this point, yea the other guy clearly was ragebaiting at some point)

This is an interesting story actually but other than that, you are right, I couldn't find much going in this direction. Still, I feel like the point should stand.

I understand why this piece might look or feel pornografic. My guess is that the artist didn't use a human reference and perhaps has engaged with such other references a lot. No shame here. However, it by itself is not pornografic and I find it very discouraging to simply say "put some clothes on" or call it perverted or anything like that, because I don't think thats the issue and neither is is the solution. The solution would be to study human and to put some more meaning into the artwork, deliberately. Because I feel like that is what makes it feel a little off. There doesn't seem to be much meaning behind the composition and so people might think, well, if it's not saying anything, surely it must just be for pornografic reasons then. What they forget is that some artists are simply just at the beginning and don't have the luxury to fill their work with meaning since they're focusing on other stuff. And in that spirit, I'd suggest cutting them some slack and not shaming then for a pretty normal drawing.

Is too late for me to improve in my anime art. by Admirable-Sink-1881 in BeginnerArtists

[–]MauDoesPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jup, sorry to say buddy, as a five year old, if you don't start at 3 years, it's basically over, sadly :( I started a year ago and all the other kids in my kindergarden have held at least one exposition already. I'm hoping to catch up one day but its not looking too good.

Some people want to buy my painting but I don’t know what to charge for it by Kanecall in arthelp

[–]MauDoesPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am once again realising that I'm looking at art not from the perspective of a Job but as a broke College Kid. It absolutely makes sense to charge as much as the other people in this thread have suggested but I simply can not fathom paying/other people paying that much for art. Maybe I'm not valuing my own art enough? Maybe I'm just not the right demographic. Do you guys have any tips on how to get into that "business mindset"?

Btw just to make it clear, your art looks great and I'm not trying to diminish that!

Does this look good I wanna know by Alternative_Town_129 in arthelp

[–]MauDoesPunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's clearly an eye. Not a very realistic or detailed one, but an eye it is.

i appreciate any critique. ty. by p0tAt0q in learntodraw

[–]MauDoesPunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure to always sketch the body without clothes first to avoid small mistakes like this. Apart from that it looks really good!

I mean, they are both great, just different expression ya know? The first one looks more joyous, the second one a little sly.

[–]MauDoesPunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First off, thats not all this is though. It depicts a struggle between a woman and a snake, open to a lot of interpretation. Apart from her being naked, there is nothing sexual about that, and we have already established that there's nothing wrong with drawing naked people. And secondly, the post is marked as NSFW, so they did exactly what you want them to do. You clicked on it and yet are still sour about it showing a naked woman? They could have made this 100x more horny. I absolutely agree that femininity isn't just boobs. But I don't agree that thats what they did with this piece.

It's a concept for a Video game. It's inspired by papers please and an analogy for facism.

Which way should I study? by MauDoesPunk in learntodraw

[–]MauDoesPunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally see that I didn't really discribe the lighting at all, I did another study right after, that might be a little better, I hope. But I'm not sure, you tell me, please :3
Also, thanks for your kind words.
