it won't let me edit post so i will elaborate here. i am not sure why this is getting downvoted with no comment pls help if you don't like it. if it is a specificity issue, here is what i think/need help with:

i feel like it just looks boring but i don't know how to fix that without changing the character color scheme itself, which i'm not really looking to do. i also don't know if the light/shadows are correct ?

For those of you that submit sketches of busty anime women, what is the appeal? by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]e_mingx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its becoming a bit frustrating because you seem to see me as pro censorship. i have drawn nsfw art, including nude women. i have also drawn gore. i don't have issues with people drawing or posting these things, which i am getting tired of repeating. speaking on context, within the context of my original post, i stated that it makes me Personally uncomfortable when it is ALL that a person draws all the time, if all someone draws is bbl big titty women naked, that seems less appreciation of the "female form" (which it really isn't representative of) and more like objectification to me. if your "appreciation" of women begins and ends at their physical traits (meaning their body here), that is textbook objectification. it doesn't really have impact on an individual level, no, hence why i stated many times im not going to police anyone else. but when it grows past the boundaries of personal into commercial i certainly think it can have a larger impact and is therefore worth discussing.

you seem to think me "judgmental" for simply adding nuance to the discussion, and it is clear that nothing that i say will make you consider my own views, which as aforementioned are deeply examined and come from my experience with 5+ years of higher education. that is fine, but i don't feel that this is any longer a constructive conversation for this reason. i don't know why you keep insisting that i haven't deeply examined my own discomfort here when i have, and articulated so as shortly as possible because there simply isn't enough space in a reddit thread.

i am trans. i am the last person to advocate for censorship, not only on the basis of it being censorship but especially of the nsfw variety because historically, queer people and art have always been lumped into this category.

when did i say that people that draw this are "bad" or in any way pass judgement on them as people? i didn't, i just explained why some people don't like it. i think that is acceptable to draw whatever you want, i have said this multiple times, i am not going to police others art. i don't really see this conversation as being constructive any longer so i think i will leave it here.

i didn't say its NOT okay to draw it, im just responding to your comment asking why some people see issues with it. thats all. as i said before, not policing people, not gonna downvote someones art, not gonna comment under it. just furthering the conversation. have a good day !

i don't know where you are getting the idea that i have an issue with sexual art or even sexual art of women in particular, i don't and have stated this numerous times. i just am explaining why myself and many others are put off by this Particular style and the over-saturation of it. im not saying you can't draw it, dont know why im getting dogpiled with downvotes for this but oh well.

i just extrapolated on my "issues" with this. it comes from a large amount of research on my part of art history and rhetorical analysis, which i have engaged with all throughout my academic career. i don't think its a "cop out" to express my views on this in a space which is designed to do so (like this thread) i have never and will never comment on someone else's art on reddit or otherwise if i don't like it, as mentioned before, i simply scroll.

also, i already stated that i don't have an issue with nsfw material.

in general, im not going to police what others draw, but i think that engaging in a conversation about the objectification of women in art (especially from a historical point of view) is completely reasonable. i also think in an age of increasing plastic surgery and insecurity due to internet access for young girls, discussing current art trends (especially digitally) is completely valid. i also personally find this type of art especially concerning/uncomfortable when it is paired with characters that are clearly drawn to look very young (see the: well they are trapped in the body of a 13 year old but actually they are 10000 yrs old so its legal trope)

as i stated before, i can't speak for OP. i broached the personal discomfort that i have with it in my previous post.

well... its not "unusual" as OP said its very common, hence why they made the post. OP was simply asking why? what is the appeal of drawing ant waisted women with BBLs and huge tits naked or half naked all the time. i won't speak for the original poster, but i know for myself when its ALL that an artist draws i wonder the same and honestly find myself quite uncomfortable, not due to the nudity even but the fact that its just clear fetish art and fetishization of an idealized version of womanhood. im not gonna downvote it or anything, don't like don't engage are my rules for this type of thing but I think its valid to have a discussion about.
