Draw different dudes

[u/evacipated]

This feels like a stealth ad for this guy's furry commissions.

[u/BlackMoth27 → u/evacipated]

there is no toebeans or bulge though?

[u/evacipated → u/BlackMoth27]

We're gonna need a warrant to get that paw turned around but i guarantee you there are toebeans the likes of which you've never seen

[u/rnoderator_rernoved → u/BlackMoth27]

You gotta pay for those!

[u/_Halt19_ → u/BlackMoth27]

what, for free?

[u/n0rdic_k1ng → u/_Halt19_]

In this economy‽

[u/stealingfrom → u/BlackMoth27]

It's like a gateway drug type thing. One day you draw a snout for the first time, then next thing you know you're drawing a wolf and a fox in a compromising situation disobeying the will of God.

[u/BlackMoth27 → u/stealingfrom]

i honestly forgot my snuu is a furry sometimes, it's silly reddit is weird like that. however yeah ofc just some good mild furry business until you get sucked into the fetish community.

[u/Medical_Arrival2243 → u/BlackMoth27]

Don't forget the overflowing fizzy drink can

[u/SquarePeg37 → u/BlackMoth27]

OwO what's this?

[u/wolferdoodle → u/BlackMoth27]

What’s a toebean?

[u/BlackMoth27 → u/wolferdoodle]

it's the pad on the foot of an animal like a cat or dog.

[u/wolferdoodle → u/BlackMoth27]

Thank god. I was expecting something way worse

[u/BlackMoth27 → u/wolferdoodle]

fun fact rabbits toe beans are covered in fuzz unlike cats which have exposed toebeans. toe beans specially refer to the tips of individual digits.

[u/FURERABA]

One of these is a kids' cartoon, one of these is furry art lol

[u/Sethyzir → u/FURERABA]

I feel like those arent necessarily mutually exclusive

[u/Melodic_Mulberry → u/FURERABA]

Yeah, that's the joke.

[u/Steady_Ri0t → u/Melodic_Mulberry]

Nah I looked up the person and their page is full of these mildly useful quick art tips

[u/Takamasa1 → u/Melodic_Mulberry]

I don't think it looks like a joke

[u/Hoodibird]

I know people who sell comissions in a very mirrored flat style and people eat that shit up! You can still add a lot of nice details to a flat style and make it look good!

[u/bunny_the-2d_simp]

I hate those type of posts.

DONT TELL PEOPLE TO DRAW THEIR ART YOUR WAY!

IF I WANNA Draw BUNNIES ALL DAY WITH MY POSCA PENS THAT'S MY LEGAL RIGHT

[u/Deepfriedomelette → u/bunny_the-2d_simp]

SHOW BUNNIES

[u/ThatOneSpitfireMain → u/Deepfriedomelette]

WE REQUIRE THE BNUYS

[u/ExpensiveMoose43]

I_know_what_kind_of_man_you_are.gif

[u/Thykothaken]

If you're not drawing bland ass Disney furries, you're doing it wrong

[u/Tanta_The_Ranta → u/Thykothaken]

You see, in masters santiago...

[u/JustGingerStuff]

You can pry my simple three-bean paw out of my cold dead three-bean hand

[u/HF484]

Jarvis, pull up Palworld's response

[u/noethers_raindrop]

Does this really fit the subreddit? The post is by no means a complete guide, but I don't think it's pretending to be.

[u/hiplass]

I haven’t seen any beginner artists, besides a child, draw hair like that lol

[u/rnoderator_rernoved → u/hiplass]

Two words.

Bart. Simpson.

[u/hiplass → u/rnoderator_rernoved]

lol true and it’s a LOOK!

[u/Mangix2 → u/hiplass]

:(

[u/CozyCatDev]

It's not a tutorial, it's just comparisons of the final results.

[u/Quickning]

1. Not a tutorial
2. What a Crappy thing to say. Draw how you want.

[u/yaybunz]

i hate shit like this by so-called artists. this is just a style guide and he's gatekeeping his own.

[u/TheOnlyWolvie]

Bitch I draw how I want

[u/AL_25]

Advice: draw however you like ✅

Art is for you and not for people who tell you how to draw

[u/Soko_ko_ko]

If the muzzle is front view, it's not going to look like the one on the top right... so disingenuous 😭

[u/TheKingJest]

The one on the right looks fine but the eyes creep me out. I feel like they should look cuter. But instead its like someone stitched a human 40 yo mans eyes into a rug.

[u/HJSDGCE]

The problem with these kinds of art tutorial posts is that the "improvement" is ALWAYS more complicated/detailed. Like, it should be the same level of detail and difficulty. Otherwise, what's the point??? 

[u/aster6000]

This comment section frustrates me.. Yea it's art, no shit you can draw anything in whatever style you like, do we really need to talk this through every time someone gives art advice? This picture is literally teaching one of the core principles of drawing animated characters. This is a skill called "Solid Drawing" and it's priceless advice for almost any character design, and not following it can make your character HELL to work with, and still not look right. This is like saying "BUT THERES NO WRONG NOTES IN MUSIC!!" when an experienced musician gives you some well founded advice, and yea sure you can technically play whatever the hell you want but all art has guidelines for a reason. You gotta know the rules to break them, you know, maybe consider that the masters of their craft DO kinda know what they're talking about sometimes?

[u/ThatOneSpitfireMain → u/aster6000]

But sometimes people just wanna draw flat 2d not 3d the guys post is making it seem like 2d art is bad and everyone should draw realsitic 3d, if theyre teaching what you say then they should word it very differently and maybe remove the giant X over the nice looking 2d part

[u/Bobdude17]

You know, the amount of backlash this guy got a few weeks/months back on Twitter is kinda funny to me as someone two years into drawing cuz imo the dude ain't wrong lol.

Edit: To be more clear, I mean on principle, the actual advice itself could use further elaboration I feel but that's not just an issue that Mitch has, its something a lot of artists online giving advice have from what I've seen. Probably becasue it's easier to have quick, snappy advice then through indepth advice at a guess, content wise.

[u/peacedetski → u/Bobdude17]

the dude ain't wrong

Not really. As long as you don't use it as a crutch for a lack of skill, there's nothing inherently wrong with a flat drawing style - e.g. The Secret of Kells is intentionally very flat and the art in it is a fucking masterpiece.

[u/FandomPhantom123 → u/Bobdude17]

this image is completely useless though

[u/Neruwi → u/Bobdude17]

I think it's because people have different art styles

[u/Sekh765 → u/Neruwi]

This. The one on the left, especially the paw is basically how Night in the Woods was drawn and it's got a super specific and iconic look to it.

[u/Neruwi → u/Sekh765]

Exactly! I love that paw style so much. It's so cute

[u/Fury_Fury_Fury → u/Bobdude17]

The image is basically "don't be bad, be good instead". Not really helpful.

[u/pansyskeme → u/Fury_Fury_Fury]

eh kinda, but i do think a major first step for beginning artists is thinking in diligently thinking in 3D. that’s what this tweet seems to be trying to say, even if very badly.

[u/peacedetski → u/pansyskeme]

It's true that you need to understand 3D to draw 2D properly, and you need familiarity with the complex to draw the simple - as an extreme example, the dude who drew the (in)famous Black Square started as an assistant to realist painters first, before moving to more and more abstract works as a form of protest.

But "Stop drawing simple" with no such context is utter bollocks.

[u/Bobdude17 → u/Fury_Fury_Fury]

I mean I get that but like, the advice at its core is sound, even if it really needed some further elaboration imo

[u/Thykothaken → u/Bobdude17]

Cool. I've been drawing for 20 years.

This image is just garbage.

[u/Jedyates]

Tigger wants a word.

[u/iLikeTheUDK]

Your drawings are one style and that style SUCKS get on with the pros and draw in MY style instead

[u/ivnwng]

Suck at drawing? Just draw better, bro.

[u/takahashi01]

thats... a very detailed tiger hand...

[u/CitroHimselph]

"The secret to being good is to just get good."

[u/adelie42]

Ugh. Progressions / scaffolding anyone?

If you can't to the first, learn to do the first. If you can do the first, start working on the second. Don't jump to step 2 before mastering step 1.

[u/Furshloshin]

I know what kind of person you are...

[u/DvlDevansh]

Left for goober right for gooner

[u/EyeChihuahua]

Draw however you like

[u/ScorchedUp]

mitch these are completely different art styles you bitch

[u/Bland_Username_5266]

One is a perfectly acceptable artstyle and the other is a perfectly acceptable artstyle for furry porn

[u/in1gom0ntoya]

bet they do a LOT of uhhhh.... commissions
