Graphic art
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
A graphic artist is, according to this hgvcopypasta from TOW:
Graphic art is also the profession at least 100% of DevianTARTists claim to either be working on a degree for or previously employed as. This is laughably ridiculous as a 5-minute browse through many of these “artist”’s profiles show that they fail to grasp even the most basic concepts of graphic art. Let’s look at them, shall we?

[edit] Perspective
Look at a table. Just any table. Now get up and move to a different position. Surprise! The basic shapes that constitute it have changed depending on the angle and distance you moved!
Of course your average DA user can’t even imagine the concept. “Objects? Made of shapes? o rly?” This leads to the shitty art that makes up DA as a whole. A few examples:
- An Animu character whose face is always in the ¾ view, no matter how impossibly it relates to the body’s position.
- The “foreshortening” of limbs, or yes one arm really is shorter than the other.
- A “rear view” or “panty shot” if you’re an animu pedo
- MS Paint art
[edit] Anatomy
Or as one rocket scientist put it: “Picasso didn't even have proportional art. How is he any different than other artists who aren't perfect?... he didn't draw Humans very well.”
Anatomy is that magic thing that makes poses livelier and boobs jigglier. Proper anatomy is required knowledge before your average aspiring artist may move on to abstraction.
However, your average DA fucktard only knows what anatomy the animu god teaches them, which is bizarre gravity-defying anatomy.
Symptoms are:
- Boobs that remain perfectly round and perky no matter how ridiculously huge they are
- Poses that would make any human skeleton eject forcefully from the body
- Shitty hands
- Eyes disproportionately huge to the rest of the face
- Inability to draw the cock(even when you have one)
- MS Paint art
[edit] Lighting
Something every DA user completely ignores, unless it’s dramatic black shadow that defies the laws of physics and facial contours. Everything on DA emits its own light, with gay little shadows that go in whatever directions the artist feels like.
Real shadows come in more than two shades and point directly away from the light source. Their length, shape, and darkness can be changed depending on the position, strength and size of the light source.
Shitty shadows lead to:
- Copypasta shadows from Manga scans
- “Outsider” or gothic art which is almost nothing but black shadow
- Pictures with muddy colors where the artist attempted and failed to do shadow.
- MS Paint art
[edit] Color
Or red, green, blue, pink, yellow, orange, purple, and sometimes brown if you’re a DA user.
To the Graphic Artist, a wide array of palettes are available, depending on whether you are working on a website, paper medium, what have you. The shade, saturation and tone of color all must work together in order for the piece to have a sense of unity. Dark areas are shadow, more saturated areas tend to be closer to the viewer
DA artists know none of this, of course, and so every spot on the artwork is covered in colors more dazzling than a clown’s penis. Or the opposite, where every line is hopelessly muddied and the colors run together like Chris Crocker’s mascara. The artist picks whatever color behooves them and there you go: the finest piece of furry pedo porn on the block. The result of this gayness:
- All characters have hair in blinding neon shades, unless they’re just a copy character.
- Even if it doesn’t match the source, fanart will be in the same gay colors. Points if it’s crayon or gelpen.
- All skin will be either that weird inter-tan color that all anime characters share or goth-white.
- Evil people will be dark, and have less gay colors. Unless they’re bishie.
- All animals will be teh gayest of all, in tints god never intended for the pitiable beasts or man.
Take note of these concepts, because these are merely the basics; these are what you would need just to survive in an art class, not to mention getting a job in graphic art. Once you master these, there are at least 100 other things that go into an image’s composition, not one of them including gaysecks or loli.
Because the average DA fucktard can’t even employ these very basic techniques, none of them will ever get employed as a graphic artist then move to Japan as they all fervently hoope. Rather, they will fail and die alone, surrounded by their self-drawn shota porn and empty pocky wrappers.
What leads them to claim a profession everyone knows they could never succeed at in 9010 years? Usually unwarranted self-importance: it’s their faggy way of trying to pwn people who aren’t wise to their bullshit.
[edit] Ways to pwn butthurt DA users
- What vantage point is this from?
- What happened to his neck?
- Why is everything in this picture the same shade?
- The snake tail is a little lumpy
- Have you ever studied anatomy?
- You know all the great artists studied anatomy before they developed their own styles, right?
- You’re still in High school, aren’t you?(note:75% of DA users are.)
[edit] Butthurt responses (brace yourselves with these)
- Well, let’s see your (insert fandom here) picture of (insert gay couple)!
- This is just my style!!
- I know Nagas!
- I have (insert number here) pageviews, don’t tell me how to draw!
- (insert manga artist here) didn’t study anatomy, he/she/they developed their style first!
- She's only 14! Give her a break!
- Homophobe!
- Yeah well your art sucks too!
