Practicing art/e/st here, I usually don't do /e/ stuff in my work, but I've been boning (heh, lol) up on anatomical drawings lately... and today's drawing came out pretty nice. So I figured I'd share it up with /e/.

SO yeah, if someone wants to post more stuff... Avatar thread maybe? I haven't seen one in a while, and I know there must be more stuff out there.

Not bad. Needs definition.

Better idea: ITT your own art. Don't do much ecchi, 'tis a bit old.

Also I believe the proper term for us is "drawfag".

Yeah, but "art/e/st" is classier... and it has /e/ in the name and all. But yeah, Drawfag is the classic term.

I'm fairly certain that everyone in this thread is Japanese.

the rule says:
Western drawn/styled ("toon") pictures and fan drawn ("fanart") images are not allowed at this time.

but, it's under /h/'s rules so i think it's ok for /e/.

/e/ only has 2 rules:
1. Only softcore nudity is permitted. Hardcore images should remain on the hentai board.
2. Ecchi material is suggestive and often times cute, however, it should not be mistaken for the cute board.

I'll tell you what a friend told me years ago when I started drawing:

"Until I can jack it to your pics, you aren't there yet"

Keep it up. Getting there.

OP here, with tightened up picture.

Also, with a counterpoint to above. How much art here is official? It's almost ALL fanart. If people weren't so hostile everyime someone tried to post something new, maybe /e/ would actually get some original content every now and then.

And when does it become "fan" art? I've got an MA in illustrative art, and I make a comfortable living on it. I don't do anime, but I'm willing to bet I'm a more successful artist than most of the people whose art gets posted here.

So I post my warmup drawings here when they turn out well. I would think people would be glad. But I guess if you guys want, I could just grab all the shit I saw posted last week and repost it all...

Going from a contextual sense, I would conjecture that the rule means no fanart in a western style or of a western style source.

Now there's just the question of whether or not Avatar counts as "anime style"...

We should have a whole forum just for that. /avatarbitching/
