@SVV_ART But thats Cheating, its more, if you dont create your own drawing software and your own machine is cheating too

@SVV_ART copium

@SVV_ART people afraid of using tools and shortcuts to make better art r so wild lmao. like, what are they scared of, "what if you find yourself Having to draw without?" like its that dire (or pretending tools dont develop intuitions lol)

@SVV_ART Me taking a pic of my own fucking hands

@SVV_ART Models help my art out so much. Without them, it's pretty hard for me to draw and get good proportions. Also helps with poses as you can plan your pose out with the model and apply it to the drawing All these examples of my works were created and aided with 3D models:

@SVV_ART @pyblehs Learning how to see & draw without aid is valuable for it's own reasons. (It trains the mind to interpret what it sees better, and creates a stronger mind/hand connection.) If you just need a head at a certain angle effin' traaaccce!

@SVV_ART I knew someone who shamed me for using the fill bucket when laying down flat colors. They thought it was better to draw in the flats by hand even though it gave the same result. My method was just quicker and sometimes cleaner.

@SVV_ART Tbh I think tracing is only ok in these scenarios: >If its a 3D model like this >If its from art that isn't by an individual (ie game art) >If its transformative enough to last on it's own >If the artist prefaces that it's traced from something

@SVV_ART Twitter artist when they realize 90% of professional photobash their concept art

@SVV_ART @SaggyEddie Just dropping some gantz, because relevant

@SVV_ART I'm very mixed about this tracing thing, and I'm not sure what to think about it. At certain point, it definitely helps for studies and breakdowns, but I don't want to become dependent of it, but it sure is a time saving tool that lot of people use it.

@SVV_ART Time to bring this meme out again

@SVV_ART Tracing a 3D model is only really cheating yourself. To any outside observer it will only appear to have a positive impact on your output. The downside is that you don't develop the same skills by tracing a reference as you do looking at the reference and drawing freehand. 1/

@SVV_ART "the twitter artist is unable to rotate 3d objects in his mind"

@SVV_ART My philosophy is if you use 3D art, might as well go full 3D

@SVV_ART Does anyone have tips on how to make 3D models look more natural when drawn? I feel like directly tracing or referencing them 100% of the time leaves them looking clunky & awkward???
