Regarding my 'Tutorials'

Hahaha, okay, I... I can't believe I have to say this, but apparently some people were uh, confused. So lemme nip this in the bud.

My Art Journey folder is not a bunch of tutorials? Tutorials are made to give you an understanding of what few objective truths exist within art- implied line, value, color theory, and breakdowns of anatomy as they appear in the world. My Art Journey pieces are there to show you breakdowns of how I draw. Meaning, all of the triumphs, all the mistakes and all of the obvious exaggerations inherent in being a cartoon fetish artist. So if you think that I'm trying to give an anatomy class lecture, uh..... I'm not. Don't take it that way??

(I can't believe I'm saying this, I thought this was incredibly obvious)

What's more, never look to any one artist for the 'objective truth' on how to draw. If the way an artist does something interests and/or excites you, by all means take it on board! But keep variety in your pocket so that you don't get hung up on their mistakes.


...


Oh, and if you've got a hot take to drop some knowledge on me? Don't make an anonymous account, lean into me like a self-righteous douche and then run away embarrassed and angry.
Just bring it up like an actual civilized person.

Wait you mean your drawings aren't photorealistic?

I always assumed Nori's drawings were flawless representations of the actual lives of real-life talking raccoon people.

Wow.  What a douche.  Seriously, how dare he?  If he can't draw better than you, then he shouldn't be giving you sh** about how you draw.  And even if he CAN draw better than you, he shouldn't, because it's just freakin' polite.

...And as someone who is just barely starting to learn to draw, that type of thing would just kill any desire I had to work or improve.

Well, no, people who can't do a thing are still allowed to critique said thing. Everyone has eyes and an instinctive idea of the way human forms are meant to look.

The guy's still a douche, but not because he's critiquing someone's art while being unable to do better.

What a magical breed of asshole that guy is.
I do not understand why people on the internet think their unwarranted constructive criticism is somehow valuable and important.

I never say to not listen to criticism, but i always had the mantra that if I don't know the person and their not a friend of mines their criticism is worthless to me.

Only listening to the criticism of your friends isn't really that helpful. Listen to randos too, sometimes they have actual insightful comments. Would you ignore the critique of an actual professional artist or art critic just because you didn't know who he is?

Just, you know, ignore the jerks and the people who obviously don't know what they're talking about.

I'm not even that stringent! All you have to do is have just a little bit of decorum and I'll take all criticism onboard! But comin' wide at me like that is purely the domain of bustas.

Well, I suppose if you're Doing It Wrong, you'll have to keep drawing big butts until you get it right (also getting it right totally absolutely completely involves drawing them blue and white and attached to a girl named Gwen trust me I'm a professional)!

Ah, that kind of person. "The way I like things done is the correct way to do them."

Kinda sad, I suppose, but then your style is meant to be cartoony and fun and a bit ridiculous, from what I can see. If someone wants to go out of their way to slag you off for it, then fuck 'em. =)

While it is totally okay not to agree or like how someone draws something and it is also okay to offer criticism... but holy crap that is not how you do it.
I did enjoy your fantasstic reply though. If he was gonna be so rude he at least could have had the balls to not hide behind a fake name. But maybe he lost them in the crash of the Behindenburg.

Well I guess you better GET OFF YOUR ASS (see what I did there!) and start drawing buttocks correctly from now on Nori.
Wouldn't EVER want to make this ONE PERSON unhappy and not appreciate your TOTALLY IMAGINARY CREATIONS!!

Because........reasons.

" "I feel like your audience keeps you insulated and doesn't want to be honest with you, and is detrimental to your art."

You want honesty? Here's honesty from a Nori fan.

I know goddamn well that Nori's asses are exaggerated. I don't have to point out whether or not I think they're somehow realistic. They're big. They're enormous. They're supposed to be that way! I like them that way! It's fantasy! Right or wrong, they give me a boner, upon which I apply my hand and vigorously masturbate. Furiously. Many times. Is that honest enough for you, ya jackass? Because I know you're lurking and probably won't say a damn thing to come forward and support what you obviously feel is true, you coward. Otherwise you'd open yourself up to all the same "criticism," and who would honestly want that?

Oh but giving it to Nori is okay because that's the cool thing to do on e621.

What's also honest is that people have different interpretations on what "proper art" is. Nori does things his way, you do things yours. You can't say that he's not allowed to label them as "personal preference" after he goes over the various ways a pair of boobs can hang, at least one of which falling into line of what you seem to believe is the "One True Way." The big difference between you and him is that he doesn't mount up on his 100 foot tall horse and go parading into someone else's PM inbox to start handing out his opinion as if it's law. That sounds like trying to restrict what artists are "allowed to draw." That's something a complete asshole would do.

You, sir or madam, are a complete asshole; and that's honesty from a part of Nori's audience.

PS: Nori this whole debacle has me feeling like I should further increase the size of Milkie's ass, what'chya think? ;P

Somebody is jealous of your popularity. This looks like they were actively looking for something to criticize you on.
Whatever though. They mad, and I'm gonna go ahead and assume you aren't really affected by this. In the words of The president... #sad

I know I'm interested in your silhouette style that you start with. Where you draw a figure, blob, etc to give you an idea of the negative space. I'm looking to try it. :3

I know I've asked or commented on the exaggeration but I hope you've ever taken anything I've said as a cut or an offense. I've always been a fan and appreciate your tutorials. You're the only artist I actually protested FurAffinity for

I'd only consider your art journey stuff as "tutorials" in the sense of using them as reference for those who wish to emulate parts of your style. As has been said, that guy's dumb.

You mean your tutorials weren't meant to be used as anatomy lessons for plastic surgeons?

Also, anyone who says butts can't be perfectly spherical is a pleb who has never traveled outside Earth's gravity.

I could spend thirty minutes and post out some huge ass spiel here... But that would be giving more time to someone who really doesn't need it. Suffice to say if you're going to post on an anonymous account and be a douchebag? Be prepared for ramifications.

It's almost as if when you draw something, you are able to create the otherwise impossible....
