Just as i tried to find pinterest alternative pinterest is becoming full of ai
AHGDGSGWGWG I LOVE UR PFP !!
also ur user is so me
dead internet theory strikes again.
it was predicted by the AI as well
It's kinda nice though cause you can steal the character designs that the ai users make or take some of the features of their character designs.
Literally the first results of anything you search has ai it's so annoying
For those who want to better utilize RUclips for learning art, one of the most helpful things I have done for this is to make an alt account dedicated to art! Do not watch or interact with a single video that is not art related while on this account. If you see videos being suggested to you that aren't art related, click "not interested." Even if its something youd like to watch. Look it up on your main account later. This account is meant to be a zero-distraction zone for focusing on illustration.
This is something I started doing fairly recently and I found that I am not only drawing more frequently, but I'm being exposed to far more creators I never saw on my main account because that account was catered to over a decade of varying interests. On this account: no distractions. Only study and motivation.
Yeah this^^^ I turned my school acc into an art animation account and I've seen improvement in my anatomy and animation cleanup and composition! 10/10 advice homeslice🔥🔥🔥🔥
haha im commenting on my art-dedicated youtube account right now!! how ironic!! i truly attest to doing this, its been really helpful in my art journey!
thanks for advive!, did it and already can feel the shift of the vibe
You genuinely shouldn’t have to do this.
At one point in history you didn’t have to.
@@Waspinmymind things change. All we can do now is adapt the tools available to us to our needs. I really dont think or care about how the algorithms have changed. I only think about how I can use them to my own benefit
Beside from Ai Art, pinterest had a serious issue about the art thieves, before Ai was even a thing, reposting someone's art is already a common thing in pinterest, and most of them doesn't even give credit to the artist.
Its not once that ive encounter people who repost art from my favourite artist, no matter how many times i asking them to delete the post or report to pinterest, they never seem to remove the reposted art at all.
I like and favorited some of those pics snd I got hit with account strikes when I didn’t upload the images nor knew it was stolen when I first liked and favorited the pics. I hate Pinterest so much
I don't know if saving into a Pinterest folder is the same as "reposting" art on Pinterest, but I did notice that a lot of the times, people that just made those folders get a lot of followers.
Legit, I just like to save references since I'm also an artist, I don't really see Pinterest as a social media. If I took heavy inspiration on a specific reference, then I'd try to dig out the OG artist, which is luckily still possible on Pinterest, but I obviously don't really like plagiarism._., so I didn't need to do that
I feel like this happens in every app not just Pinterest
@@nimzay_art Well, you got the point, but the major problem is that pinterest art consist 99% of reposted art, which its ick me cause unless if i ever seen the og art, i can't tell if it reposted or original. Also despite having same issues, atleast majority of art in other platform like twitter and ig are posted by the og artist
You know it’s a problem when the first comments you see on almost any given pin are “who’s the artist?” and the like
Thanks for this vid! Pintrest hasn’t been the same since the rise of AI
yea I agree
For real, I keep finding myself inspecting fingers, hair, ears and such before actually saving things 😭
Why do we even need AI to do art? They be making AI to do work that doesn’t need AI at all
I swear they’re literally unnecessary as heck
I always steal ai designs from pinterest, its sometimes helpful for inspo, especially for clothing (definitely not for anatomy tho 😭)
Pinterest nowadays either shows you the same 20 pictures or bunch of AI gens.
Sakugabooru is also really good for looking at sakuga scenes from anime for inspiration and composition
That's a really good resource!
PURE REF SO THATS WHAT ITS CALLED!!!
I've seen it EVERYWHERE but never managed to find the name of it, this is such a life saviour!! Thanks!!
glad it helped someone! :)
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO SO BAD OMG I'M IN AN ART BLOCK CRISIS. I LOOKED AT MY MOST DETAILED ART VS MY OTHER ART I'VE BEEN MAKING LATELY AND I CRIED. I WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE EASTER ART, ECT SO BAD AND I MISSED THE DEADLINE. NOT JUST THAT IT'S APRIL FOOLS DAY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GET PRANKED THANK YOU SO MUCH.
😂 thank you, glad it came at the right time!
@@KraymerArt Me too! My spring break just ended so after school I'll use this as a guide. Appreciate the video!
Please making these secret Chinese art tutorials, you are the best!!! 🙏
thank you! I will :)
i remember as a kid i used to watch a lot of speedpaints by artists like hyanna natsu and nekorina and developing my artstyle through that and being so inspired by them
you should search movie photography as they get you more dynamic and interactive reference. it helps when you're trying to draw characters and struggle to make them look like theyre in the same room
For my inspirations I mainly use Pixiv, and it's there I learned a lot of things from many cool tutorials that are very useful to try on!
With the section "How to draw" it goes from general character creation to full illustrations, since then I never got back to pinterest again.
I realized how Pinterest was way too messy after using it twice and realizing that too many arts were just stolen :/
I use AI art as references not for the drawing or rendering techniques, but for the color palettes and how to arrange them. While some times I don't use references for draw something that I already have a good idea in my mind
Thanks :) Just finished my biggest painting ever! 5 characters, The painting was taller than my desk.. Took 4 weeks and around 50 hours - I’ve been in hibernation ever since.. This’ll be very helpful!!
Great timing I was thinking of ditching Pinterest lately
Buy art books you can source that don’t have ai art in them.
Buy basic anatomy books for artists or go to a library. Let’s not forget that physical media exists and can act as an alternative to digital media.
This is just so amaizing, sensual and different. You can see the effort and love put into this masterpiece. It's something else... my new insporation❤
my pinterest doesn’t have art at all instead it has other things i like in real life and i draw those things
Yeah that’s what mine’s like too. I’ve saved a bunch of photos with people in them and came across a goldmine of inspiration for drawing from the algorithm.)
There are playlists on youtube that imitate real art school live reference classes. They have timed pictures, usually with minimal clothes or distractions. It's not exactly the same, but not too bad
Thank you very much for this video! I just downloaded the Xiao hong shu app it looks amazing
but wheres all the pretty sparkly crafts stuff from the lands of fantasy and imagination? these sites are just boring selfies of pretty people really
definitely saving this!!! thank you so so much for both this and the bilibili hair tutorial, these are gems of knowledge for me 💚💚💚💚
Thanks for helping so much~ :O
OMG, YES, I KNOW THAT FEELING OF “I WONDER WHERE THIS CAME FROM” BECAUSE OF THE WATERMARK AND VERY NICE PHOTOS
bro's voice sounds like its been filtered like coffee😶(you sound so good)
Bro basically canceled half of the art communities reference app😅But managed to give us better references 🎉
I find recently to avoid ai art its best to just find a few artists you like on any social media (especially ones with easy post sharing features like twitter and tumblr (i know it has a reputation but its calmed down so much in recent years i swear)) and then just go through their retweets/reblogs/following for more good artists. Block everything else and soon your feed will be filled with a constant stream of good art inspo. Pinterest is infamous for art theft but its still a great place to discover those artists in the first place, it just takes a little reverse image search work since none of these lazy reposters can be bothered to add a link to the art
Do you know any site or platform where chinese artists upload their drawing process? I have been interested in several chinese artist styles, but none of them upload anything on youtube :((
Maybe twitter ?
In the video on 0:31 what’s the name of the Chinese art yt channel?
I love the way you say ✨art✨ 😭😭😭
I only use pinterest to find twitter tutorials that I haven't discovered yet, not references
Thanks for your video, that you say about other things than Pinterest.
5:54 KAMIPPOI NA
Thank god I’ve never seen someone talk about this.
Would you say these sources have less or none ai gen'd stuff on it?
definitely less AI stuff, and youtube speedpaints/tutorials ofc have none :)
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the vids broo I've learned a lot! also can you make a video about AU D_elete on how he paints?
SELEN TATSUKI CAMEO DETECTED
my pinterest kept showing me art from weibo... what's that mostly about?
that's another popular chinese website, it's a bit like facebook :)
You should link the websites in the description
I knew XiaoHongShu since 2023 I learned by trial and error to type the correct thing for example Hagtag #偶像活动oc means AikatsuOc
If you’re on the iPad, you can just use freeform
how do I sign up for xiaohongshu?
5:55 Kamippoina Hatsune Miku! Most mommiest mommy out of Hatsune mommies
OMG XHS MY BELOVED
I just use twitter
And gacha games too especially arknights
7:20 i literally cannot find the artist ToT and why does this platform have blatant nsfw when I searched for their name BLARGH
Thx
Doesn’t feel like any of these sites are good for us non-anime artists.
Google: am i a joke to you?
Google isn't safe from AI either (+SEO manipulation)
Google is a joke. It barely works now or days.
Ikr?
Yandex is better. But honestly if you really want inspiration and reference you gotta hunt for it in places artists won’t dare to take a look at, some of those hentai/porn sites are a gold mine of inspiration from really freakishly good senior artists from all around the world (a bunch of non nsfw stuff in there). Comics and graphic novels too, people tend to forget how good they are too

i'm sorry but question was "how to find refs" not "where to find refs"
There are so many AI generated drawings and Images on Pinterest its gen unnerving. I'm glad there are other platforms that i didn't know about, i will be checking them out:)
Thank you for another awesome vid!! I almost thought it's gonna be an April Fools prank due to the datw of the upload lol
It's unnerving but ai art can also serve as reference material well it depend upon us how we use it😅
@vishnucs8204 true to a degree, I have seen some artists use AI generated characters as OC's(drawing them, fixing and using the outfits etc) but it just feels lazy and icky considering it's the fruits of other Artist's labor that allowed that junk to throw up something half-decent😕
@@MaleficentsLover I mostly use it to get a pose or just for fancy clothes other than that I do it by myself 😂 because as you said it doesn't feel right
Your channel is a hidden gem itself! Thank you! 💜🙏🏼💜
pixiv can be hell and heaven. Theres also Ai there too.
If use the right way the ai art can serve as reference material well depend upon us how we use it
Well you can change settings so it will show less ai stuff.
@@ketanvirbhadre1634 fr? 😭
@@vishnucs8204 I can get inspo from it but I can never learn its "art" the contrast, lighting, anatomy, etc sucks. Also, no soul into the work like you can tell right away.
Yeah it’s filled with loli/shotas and increst bs
Thank you, your recommendations are absolutely life-changing 🥹
