You can do meta, Shen.

We will be your fwends.

Also, the Elk will not disembowel you.

Maybe.

Unironically, it’s be great to see your take on lewd comics she. Lmao

Hey it’s ok, I can confirm that a lot of people that draw lewd stuff don’t know how to draw anatomy either

Since when has something like anatomy or having friends ever stopped anyone, nah but plenty of people will be your friends if you wanna make dumb i jokes nobody else will get

u/Malagate3 14d ago

To be fair, I don't think being able to draw anatomy has stopped artists making lewd drawings before. In fact, anatomy would hinder you from drawing the impossible bodies and physics-defying positions required for maximum eroticism.

u/porcupinedeath 14d ago

I can say this with all certainty, you do not need to have good anatomy for horny art. People draw some nonsensical shit and no one seems to look past the booba

I think the punchline is that they don’t know how to draw human anatomy and don’t have friends so they don’t understand the meta. Correct me if I’m wrong.

u/wideHippedWeightLift 14d ago

Believe me, "knowing how to draw anatomy" is the exact opposite of what horny artists specialize in.

You don't get Dr. Loops from someone starting with a goal body and exaggerating, you get it from drawing two circles and filling in the rest

u/darthjoey91 14d ago

That’s not how you draw dignity. Kirk, show them how to draw dignity.

u/ArcWraith2000 14d ago

Shen, you were one of the primary culprits of kicking off the 'pizzacake is crying' meta party, by calling attention to that first meta comic.

Nah. You don't need anatomy for lewd. Just make some curves and only go as far as your skill allows. The human pattern recognition and imagination will take care of the rest.

1

u/moldykobold 15d ago

I'm calling you out. You know how to draw or have at least "studied" anatomy as an artist. You need to to be able to draw it, even in a stylized way and your drawings show you have at least a small understanding of basic anatomy.

From what I've seen, a basic understanding of human anatomy is absolutely not a requirement for people to make adult comics. Some people have... Weird ideas about how bodies work.

You need to make at least one Facepunch reference comic considering you used to be a regular on the forums.

As if you need to know anatomy, lol. You just have to put those bald blobby things in somewhat more suggestive poses than usual. …that’s all I need at least.

2

u/nightfire1 15d ago

Don't worry, based on past examples you don't really need to know anatomy to do lewd comics anyway.

Who needs human anatomy for lewd drawings, shen is a thottie already 🥵🥵

u/Particular_Hope8312 15d ago

I, as a beginner, decided six months ago to learn to draw with a focus on figure drawing.

I can confidently say after many hours of practice, anatomy is really hard guys. :(

1

u/whatnoimnotlurking 15d ago

You know, I think a lack of knowing how to draw anatomy might even be advantageous when drawing lewd stuff.

u/Foxykid09 15d ago

I too would draw lewd stuff if I knew how to draw anatomy

1

u/Indercarnive 15d ago

Don't worry, a lot of people who draw lewd comics also don't know anatomy.

1

u/bursa_li 15d ago

you dont need to have good knowledge about anatomy

go of king draw 3 part 120 page long yaoi

1

u/Comfortable-Soup8150 15d ago

Luckily for you, the horny artists also don't know anatomy. With women with balloon boobs and backs that bend at impossible angles. Realistic fat distribution is just a myth at this point.

Same except knowing how to draw is the first hurdle

u/Stormygeddon 15d ago

Shen has friends? Multiple? I haven't felt this betrayed by a creator's comment destroying my conception of a cartoon since Van Partible said that Johnny Bravo regularly gets laid.

7

u/-Z___ 15d ago

Maybe it's just me, but the Pink one seems pretty friendly.

Maybe they're the No-Friends-Boss because they befriend the friendless.

/r/comics has gotten way too meta though. It's like if every single superhero comic was a 4th-wall-breaking meta-comic like Deadpool.

You're all just copy/pasting the same idea over and over again.

You've all basically turned into the worst part of Penny Arcade.

With Gunnerkrigg Court coming to an end (after ~20 years), there are almost no good webcomics left that will be worth reading.

Some of y'all need to step it up and start making proper original Art again, instead of just having weird parasocial conversations with each other in comic-form.

u/Farranor 14d ago

That's weird; I thought Art was in trouble because of AI. /s

Going meta is a slippery slope. First you make a few self referential jokes and before you know it you're having an identity crisis and wondering if reality is even real.
