ic/ trolling tactics
/ic/ - Artwork/Critique is the most drama-infested hellhole on 4cuck rivaled only by autistic generals on /vg/ and /trash/. /ic/ is so bad that its the only board with a "no drama" rule because art "people" are vile, weaselly pieces of fried nigger shit. This page is about mining gems from this untapped well of faggotry.
Why /ic/?
/ic/'s userbase is comprised mostly of xitter immigrants and trannies from /lgbt/. LITERALLY EVERYWHERE the former are volatile and prone to overreacting, and as such commonly import drama from xitter over to a more hostile battleground. The latter have been thoroughly subjected to constant raids and trolling by 'teens over the years that any reactions from them have gone stale, the denizens having become used to soyops and desensitized to troonjak floods. Now, this isn't to say that /lgbt/ raids can't be gemmy, but fresh meat is far better than prey that knows your methods and the ways you hunt.
General tips
- Critique someone's artwork in the snarkiest way possible without adding any positive constructive feedback. Since most people who lurk and post on this board are fags and women, they'll lose their temper rather easily.
- Tell people to "post their work" no matter the context.
- Say that you can't post your work because you were a popular artist years ago and that you'd receive harassment because of it.
- Make purposefully shitty "redlines" of their artwork in order to misguide them or just cause some seething.
- Give them terrible art tips or just tell them to read Loomis or take Drawabox.
- Call beginner artists attention whores.
- Say that beginner artists are underage.
- Aggressively defend Tracing.
- Call any use of references tracing and type like a xitterfag
- Tell anybody who criticizes objectively bad art to post their work.
- Claim that there is an objective measure of art skill.
- Ask for a drawfag's socials and then tell them their work looks like shit.
- Complain about commission prices.
- Post AI art or make AI art threads claiming that AI has replaced human beings etc.
- Ask for "prompts?" from an artist, it's basically falsely accusing them of using AI to make their art.
- Start East vs West countrywars.
- Posting any sort of criticism towards anime art is guaranteed to be met with seething replies.
- Break Reddiquette
- Start posting how you would on /pol/, commenting with “ew why did you draw a nigger” if someone draws a black guy
- Say "There are no shortcuts. Just draw." whenever someone asks for advice
- Try and start an AI art general.
Porn threads
- Call generic porn that isn't pedo shit "Safe Horny".
- Tell porn artists to get an actual job.

Am I legitimately too retarded to be an artist?
>Special needs

>Have so many ideas for art but my ADHD and executive dysfunction prevents me from actually doing anything or even putting in a modicum of work
>Can't understand basic trigonometry or math
>Have never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby, dabbler at best.
>Want to now get good at drawing after years and years of wanting to
>Can't even pick up the pencil
Am I legitimately too retarded to be an artist? Every time I think about the fact that I can't do art, it makes me almost suicidally depressed and makes me nearly break down crying. I have friends that show me their art everyday and it pisses me off to the point where I want to fucking block them or tell them off. I can't do this anymore. I mean I'm literally starting from zero.
I've never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby
I've never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby, ever. All I can do is type and that's it. I've never finished writing a single story in my entire life. Now I want to try different hobbies. Every single one of them when I was younger, I gave up on.
I have literally tried doing several artistic hobbies and gave up each of them immediately when I was a teenager.
>Gave up on Source Filmmaker
>Gave up on GameMaker
>Gave up on FireAlpaca
>Gave up on Photoshop
I didn't know how any of them worked or what to do.
I don't even know basic trig. Even when I look art guides, I literally cannot comprehend them or figure them out. I don't want to be stuck with no creativity or being unable to express myself. This is what it's like for literally everything I try doing.
To those of you that feel like you aren't going to make it
Just quit.
It's okay. Don't waste any more time on this. It's not going to end well and this isn't reverse psychology. You're torturing yourself with this bullshit. You should not be forcing yourself to go to a lifedrawing class or practicing shit. It should not be a pain to paint for 30+ hours. If you were a pro, you wouldn't even be having these doubts in the first place. You're going to die soon. Don't waste your life on this pursuit trying to will yourself into being a successful creator. That's just misery.
I spent a good 10 years trying to pursue an art career seriously. And It didn't work out. It wasn't happening so I gave up. It wasn't cute anymore. All that time and energy spent. Could have gone into something wiser. Two years ago I professed that I wasn't gonna make it. And you know what? I didn't make it. And it's okay! I'm still alive. I can enjoy life. Someone like KJG can go without oxygen before going without drawing. To me, the pursuit of art is akin to a chainsaw amputation. No more love for it.
Like holy shit. Why was I torturing myself with this? Does it even matter if I'm good at art? NO. Fuck you. And this might be a meme but, if you're in that holding pattern like I was, trying to figure it out. Please invest your money in something so you don't die hungry trying to figure it out.
"just draw" is bullshit
"just draw" is bullshit made by pretentious retards who dont want to actually give advice but also answer someone with something simple so they can feel smart
it completely ignores all the fundamentals like shapes and shit that you need to learn before you can actually draw something
"just draw" is how you stagnate for the rest of your life
I'm siding with AI on this one.
I'm siding with AI on this one. Why hold back progress? Art has always historically been one parts expression and some parts cutting edge mediums. I see these protestors as nothing more than irrelevant hand-crafted pottery makers mad because someone built a machine that mass produces pottery with patterns. Get with the times, the next level of art that can be used using ai as a tool rather than an enemy is soon to be imagined but that can't happen if we constantly try to hold art back.
