"beautiful" is hard to define, but I think you mean the mass of barbie-like samefaces/bodys which are considered beautiful amongst plebs.
For me it was always a challenge to stop the samefacing and expanding those limits of imaginable beauty.
it's still hard though, but I don't try to stop myself from drawing comfort zone girls,
instead I use it as a practice for the challenging projects.
I think what you mean is quite comparable to the less mentionable "popular art" of later decades,
like the shitloads of pretty still lifes which were displayed everywhere until people got bored of it.

I don't care if it's bait I want to respond seriously on this topic.

Drawing beautiful naked women is closer to masturbation than it is to art. It doesn't tell me anything other than the fact that you appreciate sexiness.

If you're using it to tell a story or convey something where being nude and/or attractive is essential to the content, and not just there because you're more motivated to draw when your project turns you on, then it's appropriate.

>>2443928

I don't think so. You just have to not be shallow. Do you think it would be hard for most people to see how pic related is beautiful?

But you're right about the fact that everyone can appreciate attractive things. OP is implying that the reason for making nudes is more sexually motivated than purely for the sake of art. But I think what you said is closer to the truth; sex sells. It's easier to get attention and appreciation for a finished nude because sex appeal is almost universally appreciated. The positive biological feedback people have when seeing beautiful figures is in this sense like having artistic training wheels on, that guarantee at least some spectators will like your work on this physical level (provided you’ve got the basics down right).

It takes real skill/artistic vision to paint an ugly subject beautifully, because you don’t have this base physical appreciation to fall back on.
>>
>>2443901
Why would someone be attracted to just a nude form? I'd hope people on /ic/ would be older than 13.
>>
>>2444163
What? That's literally the point of what they said. Ie, you're taking lusty impulses and condensing them/hiding them within a form of art that is socially acceptable because all you want to do is masturbate, but if you do that you'll just hate yourself. It's taking that urge and using it productively to create nude figures that, while gratifying this urge, do not appear explicitly erotic.

I had a brief discussion with my drawing professor once. He knows that my greatest interest in drawing is to simply become better at drawing. There is far few other motivations. He asked my why I felt like I had to get better and why I was chasing an idea that has no solution. He asked me what my end game was, he wanted to know why it all mattered to me.

I told him that I only want to be better and that is all that matters. I enjoy pushing myself harder every time and seeing the progress that I get out of it. I told him about the magic of the dunning kruger effect. I told him every soul crushing lesson that I've happened across.

His reaction was "but why bother, if there is no end to it, isn't it just masturbatory at some point."

I replied "yes"

If doing the work doesn't give you pleasure then why do it. Who is going to pretend like they wouldn't rather be drawing or doing something else. Why not pick what you're going to draw if it's going to make you happy and draw more. Embrace that drawing can get you laid once in a while, and you will have the french girls to draw. Don't be so uptight, we're all perverts man.

Even when you draw an ugly girl, most drawing styles kind of make them pretty again. Take a simple anime like Watamote; The style doesnt lend itsself well to drawing an ugly person without making them look terrifying at the same time (look at some different screenshots).

The artists who draw ugly girls either have a really ugly style to begin with (tumblr especially) or still pretty up the character a bit.
>>
>>2443862
I draw both. Its hard to draw women regarded as beautiful and very easy to draw someone as ugly. What I define as beautiful is simplicity, definition and symmetry. These are things I struggle to draw so it helps to practice. I also do the same with men.

I also prefer staring at a naked beautiful woman for 3 hours, than a fat/ugly person. Unless I'm trying to better my skills in that area.
>>
>>2444214
>Take a simple anime like Watamote
More like they intentionally made her look better in comparison to the original source material.

Anime costs a lot to produce, and it's difficult to get people watching if the character is very unattractive (and the fact that the series isn't popular to boot.) Nothing to do with style, because they could have easily made her more authentic to the manga.
And in general, there's tons of ugly characters in shows with uguu animu style.

Nigga that guy isn't ugly under any circumstance. He's fit, has a full head of hair, a thick but well groomed beard, a prominent brow and deep intense eyes.

I think there's a tendency towards drawing beautiful women when drawing from imagination - because "beauty" is about having average proportions and average proportions is what we learn as artists and so that's the easiest thing to draw.

Also happens if you draw from refs from the internet as most good photos out there are of beautiful models.

One of the reasons I try to take life drawing whenever I can, forces you to draw whatever is there.

what are brain perceive as beauty is actually the subconscious telling us what is healthy to breed with, what is healthy to eat, where is healthy to live etc

what better way to learn the rules of the world we live in if not by starting with what our brain consider to be healthy for us

usually when we are speaking about ugly ppl, it's ppl which lost some of their healthiness due to age, diseases, genes mutations, accidents etc.

Immature plebs can't see beauty outside of sex. Generic sameface sluts are the epitome of beauty to them. Not saying you should draw ugly people on purpose, but you should draw visually interesting people with distinct features, depending on what you're trying to tell.

If you look at top notch figure drawings from Vilppu, Hampton etc. you'll see why they look good. Their basic shapes are interesting, they work together well due to their rhythm and cute generic faces would just ruin them. Those anime plebs in this thread should maybe try to take a look at human anatomy and if you don't see beauty in the arrangement of bones and muscles, you should kill yourself.
>>

It's not like I don't enjoy, it's just a choice of path you are after. Lately I've been studying anatomy and expression with humans, but now I'm slowly turning back to sceneries, not into animals though. It's all about the space.

Seriously, it's what you want to represent and bring to others. It's kinda obvious for me to draw things like forests and lakes, because I'm surrounded by those and appreciating that fact. But the tension comes from using that scenery in a way, that it tells a story of its own. It's way more interesting than any human-related drama or appealing curves.

I do have a blog, but I'm done with posting it here. Last time someone tried religiously act as me and push my shit all over. That's not really my thing. Just search it.

I mostly agree about this.

When you see pretty girls in the street, they don't always have perfect features. They don't always have the perfect tiny nose, or perfectly arched eyebrows, they might have a thinner mouth, larger cheeks, a different eye shape and so on. But in general the face is coherent or has a particular look to it, which is in itself quite attractive. Interesting faces aren't the perfectly proportionate with classical features only types of faces. Sometimes even ethnic features can be interesting, or would be relevant to the context of the painting.

I think you don't see it that often because it's just easier to go with the simple and classical beauty rather than try something more advanced. But at the same time it's just so boring, especially since it's being constantly abused. I don't think it has to do with maturity, I think it has to do with people just wanting to do "cool stuff" like the others, rather than thinking through what they really want to show. Or not having enough time to do so.

It's easier to learn anatomy on models with well-defined muscles which usually means beautiful ones.

You've already applied your own selfish standards to womankind. Scum like you does not deserve to exist. If a 400lb toothless ex-meth addict womyn hits on you, you accept, anything else you're degrading them.

Seriously though...
I draw anything and everything I see. I love drawing beautiful woman, I also like drawing beautiful men. Skinny, Tall, Fit, Flabby, Bodybuilder, Landwhale. I don't care, I draw it all. Much so I can identify what traits make a person appear aesthetically pleasing despite whatever body shape they may have.

I see shit like, "I don't like men, so I don't like drawing men," all the time. That's fucking dumb. Learn to draw men, learn what qualities make a body manly. Ingrain it in your artistically knowledge. That way when you go about drawing the most perfect woman, you can make damn sure to leave the manliness out of it.

I think the concept of male attractiveness is more varied than female attractiveness.
As a man, I find that masculinity is the only trait that makes men handsome. A man with feminine features, which seems to be what a certain subset of women like, is ugly in my eyes. It just looks wrong to me on an instinctual level, as if the person had a severe physical defect. The same goes for masculine women. I doubt there are a lot of people, male or female, who consider female bodybuilders attractive.

On the other hand, being fat doesn't automatically make a man ugly. It simply makes him plain or unattractive. For example, John Goodman or Andy Richter aren't ugly in my eyes. I'm not saying they're attractive, they're just plain.
On the other hand, fat women are almost universally ugly in my eyes. People like Rebel Wilson or Lena Dunham are incredibly ugly to me.

I'm not going to claim these are universal truths, but I think the public discourse and all the political bullshit that's currently going on in the media ignores how men and women perceive the opposite gender, and try to enforce politically correct, object truths that simply aren't there.

yep how one sees (or feels) the world heavily depends on the experiences they've made through their life,
thats how it goes and I appreciate it a lot when people are bring up the reflection to realize that there is no universal truth in this.

I hold the view that behaving like assholes is what makes people ugly,
but some people are quite good actors so you won*t see it from their expressive behaviour.

And I kind of agree with your last sentence..
It's important that these thematics are brought into the media, as long as it's not for jumping on the bandwagon which turns just every topic into shit.
but some unattentive people are getting really carried away into trivial bullshit (pic very related)
which is quite questionable because it causes other unattentive people to go full nazi on those topics so it becomes a "muh opinion" shitfest instead of a healthy debate with people learning from each other-
which doesn't help the world at all.
>>
>>2445246
>I hold the view that behaving like assholes is what makes people ugly,

Yeah, that's certainly one thing that makes people look ugly to me. I do believe biological predispositions play a stronger role in determining what's attractive, but that doesn't mean I rule out environmental factors. My guess would be 70/30, in favor of biology.

That's also probably one of the most frustrating things about the whole SJW/feminist view of beauty. They completely rule out the biological factor. They seem to believe beauty standards and human behaviour are entirely dictated by the environment, which is the only way their warped view of the world makes any sense. But there is no doubt in my mind that biology is a stronger factor than environment, which in turn means they're fighting an enemy that doesn't exist, and are simply trying to change nature. That, in itself, is sexist.

Yes. Being muscular refers to relatively large muscles, and there are plenty of sports that don't require large muscles.
A woman who works out regularly might get toned, but it will require en enormous amount of effort to actually become muscular.
>>
>>2445312
There is no such actual thing as "toned". In order to gain an aesthetic look from exercising, you actually need to make your muscles larger, to the point where they protrude noticeably, when any random person looking at you can say that you are muscular.

Muscular = ripped, and a muscular woman =/= a muscular man. At all.

>>2445318
Are you retarded? Toned refers to someone with a noticable amount of muscle and a low enough bodyfat percentage that the muscle definition is visible through the skin.

Ripped is someone with large muscles and a very low bodyfat percentage.

Muscular is anyone with large muscles.

There is no difference between a "noticeable amount of muscle" and "large muscles". Anything that is noticeably larger than normal automatically fits the criteria of being large. If muscles are noticeably large, they are large.

A guy can have a noticable amount of fat around his stomach, while still being defined as normal. You can also be slightly pudgy, overweight, fat or obese. You see? It's an incremental increase.

If we apply your logic to fat in the same way you apply it to muscle, everyone who has a noticable amount of fat has "a lot of fat", which is blatantly untrue.
According to you, someone is either normal or have large muscles, which is as insane as saying that someone is either normal or has a lot of fat.

Also, this is the dumbest fucking argument I've ever had.
>>
>>2445523
>A guy can have a noticeable amount of fat around his stomach, while still being defined as normal.

In terms of what? Body fat? Nobody would argue that unless they were trying to be polite, and no honest doctor would tell him that he isn't overweight.

>You can also be slightly pudgy, overweight, fat or obese. You see? It's an incremental increase.

I agree. However, all of these terms describe a person who carries around an abnormal amount of fat.

>If we apply your logic to fat in the same way you apply it to muscle, everyone who has a noticable amount of fat has "a lot of fat"

Correct. You would have to pack on quite a few pounds for someone to tell that you're overweight.

>According to you, someone is either normal or have large muscles

Or small muscles. They're very vague terms, and can be broken up into more specific, descriptive terms, but together they technically fill up the entire spectrum.

Except you can have noticable excess fat without being overweight, you monumental retard. That's the point. The normal range for a male of average height can vary by as much as 20 fucking kilos.

>Correct. You would have to pack on quite a few pounds for someone to tell that you're overweight.

We're not talking about overweight. We're talking about a noticable amount of fat. You really don't have to gain a lot of weight before you can tell the difference, and someone can look soft and out of shape without being overweight.
And that's the entire point. You really don't have to add a lot of muscle before you can tell that someone works out, particularly if that person has a low bf%. That's what toned is.

>They're very vague terms, and can be broken up into more specific, descriptive terms, but together they technically fill up the entire spectrum.

Everyone in this thread has disagreed with you. That little shit Justin Bieber has a noticable amount of muscle and anyone can tell he works out, but no one in their right mind would say he has large muscles.

I think its mostly because beauty equals basics, they usually have a little fat but not to much so bone is still defined and a little muscle so you define that also. Whereas if you have an anorexic person you wont be able to tell what adding much fat looks like and its uncommon and being fat it will be tougher to tell as a whole where the bones are located. you see drawing a basic pose just happens to be what a beauty would look like. plus beauty isn't exactly a set in stone thing. when times where hard it was supposedly more attractive to have a lot of weight put on.

For men.
Plump men were hot because women are hypergamous and will go with the one that has more money, in pre-industrialized sugar times of famine being chubby meant you were wealthy as fuck.
Chubby women weren't attractive because they were chubby, however, they were attractive to your parents because it meant their parents could feed their cow before they sold her, so you were marrying into more money.

Ethnography is sociological, you're thinking about anthropology and you're still wrong because there's a shitload of "ethnic" differing features between even small populations of the same "race".
Aztecs were tall, with sharp and long features and grew beards, Chichimeca from 100km north were short, with blunt and wide features, and were hairless.
Koreans and Japanese are not alike, Thai and Burmese, Hindu and Pakistani, Nigerian and Somali, Samoan and Hawaian, Russian and Croat, Apache and Crow, Dane and Icelandic, French and English, German and Austrian, Iranian and Afghan, all show different features despite being of the same race, if you can't see it you're either a terrible artist, myopic, or racist.

I've also come from a family full history of divorce. And it was either equal or the men that were mainly at fault.
Hell, myself included. My father was abusive, became an alcoholic, and constantly cheated on my mother. Even to this day, the guy pulls crocodile tears and tells my brother and I that "he loves us", even though he's yet to pay child support once and constantly begs for money to spend on bullshit; meanwhile my mother for several years had to pay for two children and an apartment/bills while keeping us somewhat spoiled on her own.

But I'm not going to be an idiot and claim men are dangerous/completely focused on their dicks/etc, because I'm not a deluded idiot who thinks on their bitter-ass emotions. I recognize that people are, well, people and are very much capable of being fucking garbage, regardless of sex.
You can cry about how women dropped their husband or boyfriend over somebody who's richer, but it's not like men haven't dropped their SOs for a hotter and/or younger women either. Hell, celebrities, CEOs, etc do that shit all the time.

Not that guy, but women initiate 70% of the divorces, and have historically fucked men over when it comes to money and custody. A lot of men definitely have a reason to be bitter.

And still, the few women who find a sucker won't stop fucking them over. Because women are the most egotistical creatures in this planet and sincerely we'd be doing them a favor to point it out, force them to recognize it and tone it the fuck down because men getting jailed because they can't pay alimony leds nowhere good.

A good indicator of health is waist and hips. Contrary to popular belief excessive fat stores were never viewed as a bonus, but not enough fat stores were viewed as a drawback (sickly and weak). Rest are either sexual or associated with motherliness, which is what you want in the mother of your children.

Getting close. That's exactly what I meant. People all seem to use the same guideline, with the same undersized perfectly straight noses, oversized eyes, "perfect" proportions and so on.

But even within whites there are alot of variation, which you rarely see used in painting. If most people were to paint lets say a traditional ukrainian girl, they'd just go with blonde hair and blue eyes and the same bland and overused guideline as always. But where are the specific noses, cheeks, chins, jawlines, mouths and eyes that are particular to those ethnic groups and give them some personality ? I'm not saying they have to be ugly, they can be beautiful while still having the traits related to the region they come from.

The point wasn't that all paintings should incorporate them, it's just the boring and repetitive traits you see everywhere that gets annoying. It's like if everyone used the same blue for the sky and only varied the cloud shapes a bit.

>>The classic greek profile doesn't represent helenic beauty

Are you retarded? The terms Hellenic and Greek are interchangable, and the neoclassical style is literally based on Greek and Roman statues. Futhermore, the neoclassical style was developed during the Renaissance in Italy, and very few of the subject were British, yet this fucker thinks it's based on British royalty.

>People would draw more varied faces and bodies if they drew what personally turned them on instead of just Loomis
Very little of what is posted on /ic/ is based on classical beauty standards. The vast majority here base their art on modern comics, cartoons, manga, video game art or concept art. While the latter occasionally have some traditional influences, it's rarely the case. If you want to complain about style, then ethnicity is the least of the problems that need to be addressed, because very few artists on /ic/ draw realistically enough to consider minor ethnic variations.

>>People would draw more varied faces and bodies if they drew what personally turned them on instead of just Loomis
Loomis is primarily used as an instructional guide to drawing. Virtually no one draws in Loomis' style on /ic/ or elsewhere. Furthermore, Loomis isn't based on classic or neoclassic art, but on commercial American art from the 30s and 40s, primarily idealized Anglo/German models and Hollwood actors from that era.

The entire fucking argument seems to be based on pseudo-intellectual bullshit and tumblreqsue demands for diversity that doesn't apply to this place to begin with.
>>
>>2446754
>He's clearly offended by normal beauty standards, and wants more "diversity".
Then he's come to the wrong place to rant about it.

Artists are some of the people most likely to go and seek different looking people and try to find something attractive or aesthetically pleasing about them and bring it out - because drawing different people helps us improve, as well as it makes our work stand out more.

He should go talk to the people in suits who are in charge of the entertainment industry, except they won't listen to him because they only listen to money.

I'm baffled as to how he thought coming to a place populated by artists to preach to them about body proportion and anatomy was a good idea. We basically spend our lives studying this shit, and he thinks we don't know that people can look different?
>>
>>2446785
Agreed. I'm having trouble finding out who he's addressing and what his motivation is, considering nothing he says applies to anyone here.
If he wanted to complain about the generic styles that a lot of artists on /ic/ use, he would have a point, but complaining about minute details in various ethnic subgroups, he's in the wrong place.
His entire concept of neoclassical art and hellenistic ideals are also dead wrong.

Ah ok. My initial comment was just meant to point out that it's not really useful to simplify it to "Would you rather be ugly or attractive", because appearance doesn't determine whether or not you're a shit person, and beauty isn't the first thing I would choose if I had a chance to pick my stats in life. I've done some modeling in the past and it was a really scummy experience for me. I saw a lot of young girls develop messed up egos because they were too naive to handle the empty compliments and expectations of two faced agents. Didn't mean to imply that beautiful people are dum, they just tend to get in trouble when people encourage them to see their beauty as the most important thing they have to offer.

This sounds like feminist bullshit. You're deflecting the question and inferring that being attractive is a negative trait.
You automatically assumed that beauty and intelligence are mutually exclusive, which is a kneejerk reaction found among feminists or ugly people who incorrectly assume they're intelligent or have character. This type of argumentation that twists a simple question into a moral dilemma that isn't there to begin with is why it's so fucking grating to talk to a certain type of women. It's also used to prop up insecure women by telling them that they're great people on the inside, regardless of whether they are or not. You also never see anyone ask women to stop drawing effeminate queers, and draw fat, ugly men instead.

I've asked this elsewhere, but could you explain to me where you people came from? I don't get why /ic/ suddenly has been overrun by oversensitive women. The reason I and many other men have been flocking to /ic/ and 4chan over the years, is to avoid this politically correct argumentation, and the bizarre ramblings and baseless accusations that insecure women come up with. It's grating.

Actually it's true that outward beauty isn't the only part that matters when it comes to attractiveness, it's backed by science. However, it's mostly smell, body language etc that goes into those other factors.

However there is a lot of fact to "Mind over beauty." Have you ever sat and had a conversation with someone who was beautiful but they can't even spell "orange?" Like, it's mind-numbing. Unless it was literally the only thing we would ever do (No texts, calls, talks before or after etc) I could never fuck someone who was beautiful without substance because it would just drive me insane.

Now a babe who's also smart? Fuck yeah.

But honestly if someone is too ugly their personality won't save them, but their personality can save some imperfections.

For instance, my fiance was born with a disease that caused him to be born without the muscle and skin of his stomach, thus he has two large scars and what i call an honorary belly button from his surgeries as an infant, but he's handsome in the face and has the best personality ithat it's not something I notice when before I met him, body deformities freaked me out a lot to the point where I'd judge someone for it whether i wanted to or not (revulsion more so than actual descrimination).


There's a lot to it, it's not a black and white subject, and it's different for every person so, for you maybe outward appearance is more important. For someone else, maybe they might as well be blind and only care about what's inside. Me? I need a little of both.

But ultimately, if there's no physical attraction (Meaning they get you hard or wet which can be for either set of traits) then the relationship won't work and that's fact.

Reddit wasn't the gateway, reddit hates tumblr just as much as 4chan does, but just like 4chan, tumblr invaded both.

The creators stop giving a fuck about anything not involving money or legal matters, people find out about the site from friendlier sources than they used to (Used to be from raids, now its because of the Anonymous collective (seperate from normal anonymous on 4chan, the ones going after trump rn), as well as 4chan's culture (the -tans, memes, etc) all bringing people in to discover the boards and find a place they think they fit in.

In short: The reason they're here is our own fault. We spread the word of this site too wide and now its garbage. That's why I vote we move to 420chan. It's absolutely dead, has a good atmosphere, and we could make it great (I mean their art board is basically dead so we could actually potentially mold it into what we want /ic/ to be)
>>
>>2448100
For fuck's sake, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
We're not discussing intelligence. We're not discussing character.
We're talking about visual beauty, because this board is dedicated to the visual medium of art.

The whole point I was trying to make was that women twist an objective discussion into some kind of bizarre moral predicament, when it's not.

Man: "I like cats."
Woman: "Oh, so you hate dogs? Dogs are great. When I was young, I had a dog. When I was 10, my dog was hit by a car and lost his leg, but I still loved him. He was still beautiful on the inside, and I'm a precious person for being able to see that and for not giving him up. We had a deep bond, and I'm glad he lost his leg, because that imperfection gave him character. Dogs with four legs are shallow."

4chan went to shit back in 2008 during Chanology. That still doesn't explain why there's been such an enormous influx of tumblrites over the last few months. What I don't get is why they come here. If they have such delicate, fragile minds, why come to a place that known for its cruelty, shitposting and harsh criticism? There are plenty of places where people would love to have these discussions, so why do it here?

Remember back in the 90's when the internet wasn't mainstream and it was less shit despite the objective quality being worse?
Remember in the early 2000's when internet 'culture' and proto-memes began spilling over into real life?

Going mainstream ruins everything on the internet.

In case you're actually a fucking retard and not just trolling, I'll say this again.
The term "ethnic" is a colloquial term used in the US to describe non-caucasians.

Intense shitposting right there.

First of all, ethnics are far more precise than caucasian, asian or black. Caucasians, at least in Europe (and even more in the past) are distributed into quite a large amount of ethnic groups. Hungarians aren't the same as germanic people, who aren't the same as portugese and so on. So while you might be all happy to show that you can say whether a person is black or white, you'd already struggle quite alot telling the ethnic groups apart based on simple examples.

>>2448129
If you understand that ethnics aren't just "caucasian" or "black", you might be able to understand my post.
I've attached an example of what I'm talking about. Notice how the features are made so simple and perfect that in the end there's no real structure underneath. Can you point out what ethnic this jawline belongs to ? What would associate those oversized eyes to ? Germanic people ? That's exactly the point, where people want to draw pretty faces so badly that all personality goes down the drain in favour of perfect little traits. Even artists like RuanJia do this (look at the chin and jawline in his Rondo Of Moon).

Granted they choose how much artistic license they want to take, but I've seen this jawline and tiny chin everywhere and there's nothing original nor interesting about it anymore. So I'd like to see more actual human faces, and one of the ways you can do this is build a coherent face based on ethnics, as well as a whole lot of other tools, like fucking functionality.

I'm aware of the fact that there are plenty of ethnicities. For fuck's sake, I've studied Norwegian face shapes down to their specific regions.

I've already written extensively about this bullshit further up, and what sparked this discussion was a colloquial use of the term ethnic, that is common in the US. It's not a difficult concept.

Furthermore, who gives a fuck what commercial artists do? The face in your picture is just a generic white character in one of the most overused styles found in modern concept art, which is a western style that borrows heavily from anime, like the pointy chin and the oversized eyes.
It's not about ethnicity, because it's its own style. For a more exaggerated example, take the most generic form of anime. You can't tell what race a character with huge eyes, no lips and a dot for a nose is. In fact, virtually no anime characters look Japanese.
It's the same with this style. While you can depict very broad ethnicities, it's not a style that's inherently designed to be accurate to life. The fact that the person draws in that style is an indication in itself that they don't care, so it's pointless to argue about it.

I also said it earlier. Very few styles are detailed and realistic enough to actually depict minute differences within the same race. It's an issue of style, not one of race.

I didn't read all of the comments to be honest because it just seems like the typical /ic/ pointless debate.

I never made it an issue of race, other people here did. I pointed out that these styles are boring and what I'd rather see that would be more interesting to me. The rest is just /ic/ making drama out of nothing.

Why do you tumblrina, sjw, feminist, self-entitled freaks draw everything to look like gumdrops and sunshine-blasted girly colors? Do you not like dark sewers drenched in putrid fluids and dirty characters with open wounds?

Why are all of your drawings light-brown skinned characters with rainbow hair? Is there something wrong with being white, pale or legit dark-skinned? Something wrong with brown, black, and blonde hair?

Fucking hell, is there anyone more annoying than an opinionated hypocrite.

People tend to draw what they like, and you're against that? Fucking idiot.

It's called a tangent you mongoloid. And character and intelligence effect visual beauty, in poise and presence. Is it against the rules to look at issues from multiple perspectives?

Also, posts like yours aren't contributing anything useful to the topic of visual beauty either. You're just sliding into the annoying stereotype of the hypocritical guy that rants at opinionated girls to protect his safe space.

>women twist an objective discussion into some sort of bizarre moral predicament

Exactly what you're doing by trying to turn this into a boy/girl 4chan/tumblr war, champ.

If these kinds of conversations trigger you so much you should avoid replying to tumblrite bait threads condemning the objectification of women in the future. Obviously lurking girls are going to speak up and get sensitive here. Bitching about how annoying you think feminists are just validates their bitching back. You're better than that friend. At least you think you are.
>>
>>2449253
The stupidity of you people is actually astonishing.

It's not a tangent when every attempt at talking about a subject turns into a discussion about how beauty isn't just a visual thing. Everyone fucking knows that you can value a person for more than their looks, and most people do.

The problem with this whole discussion is the same problem you have with the idiotic concept of objectification. It's the idea that the moment you appreciate a woman's beauty, every other quality she has goes out the window. That is fucking insane.
>>
Personally, because it is easier for me to draw ugly women then it is for me to draw beautiful ones as they require a lot more acute details and refinement to not ending up looking like Satan's shit stain verses when I actually am trying to draw someone who looks like Satan's shit stain on purpose.

tl;dr
Ugly women come more easily and naturally when i draw compared to Beautiful ones

What the hell are you talking about, there's a handful of other tangents going on in this thread. The argument over what the term ethnic means for example.

>Everyone fucking knows that you can value a person for more than their looks, and most people do.

okay so you just agreed with the whole point I was trying to make by saying >>2444363 is a stupid question because it oversimplifies the concept of beauty, which should be dynamic and subjective. This applies to OP's question as well. It's inflammatory bait.

> the same problem you have with the idiotic concept of objectification
When the hell did I say I had a problem with objectification? Read my post again. I said that this was a tumblrite bait thread condemning the objectification of women. Meaning I think OP has a problem with it. I have nothing against it, every time I draw I am objectifying something or someone. You're just projecting annoying fem-nazi ideology onto the simple point I was making to invalidate my opinion.

I hope you realize that people like you and feminists are two sides of the same coin. Just regurgitating the same standardized criticism's of the opposite gender without actually listening to what anyone says.

Which women on here have been represented and where?

Don't be pedantic. In discussing actual fitness techniques using 'toned' is bullshit, but clearly in an average discussion it connotes someone who exercises but isn't hulked the fuck out.

People misuse 'picturesque' all the time, but if it's not crucial to the conversation there's no reason to derail everything into fucking granular linguistics.

You're not marrying a drawing bitch.
And every attractive woman I have ever met was also of average intelligence or higher, specially if you spoke to them about their job/vocation and didn't try to measure a surgeon by their ability to solve post-grad differential equations. Ugly people only tell themselves beautiful and athletic people must be dumb, because they themselves are dumb and think life is "fair" and some people can't have it all while others have notthing at all. But life isn't fair and healthy people with good genes and a strong family unit will most likely be more beautiful, more athletic, smarter, more successful and better people than you jelly tumblrtards.

I draw all sorts of women, they generally are beautiful, but not all are young/skinny/fit or w/e i draw some thick women and shit. But basically if i draw "ugly" (warts, horribly unhealthy body, dysfigurement, etc. It changes the meaning of the picture, for myself, and others. It makes it like a horror picture or something. Most artists draw beauty, because them and mos other people enjoy looking at beauty.
