>>2449>>2457>>2460i thought we were still on that whole "you guys shouldnt be using sketchbooks" thing. not gonna lie and say I didnt see a lot of the art posted and immediately think to myself "thats not very good at all". I think it's terrible as well, the people saying everything looks great when it really really doesn't.
But maybe I can voice the concerns I tend to see on lainchan across all boards, and explain the "coddling". I think many value the more close environment here, its more cooperative? Many are worried this will turn into an uber hostile place like the other chans are. of course there is an extreme side to this as well. A place can just as easily become uncomfortable due to reactions to perceived aggression, as it can be due to hostility itself. Not siding with anybody here, just saying I *think* I understand some of the concerns with this.
lets be clear though the initial post wasnt any kind of criticism, it was as you said just "taking the piss". I actually don't see a lot of criticism here period, but I do see what you mean about when it is provided there is a lot of "oh I just do it for fun". as to why people are so bad at art here.. I don't think it's because they are underage. I think it's the subject matter of this board. Computer science attracts a lot of "math brained" people. This extends beyond art, my more math brained friends have trouble following my code sometimes as I solve problems a bit differently. It's always been a joke that both my code and handwriting are illegible to anyone but me. On the other hand i'm also a much better artist and listen to more music than them.
