BETCH!
It’s the best thing.
Everyone shits on Open Canvas for various bullshet reasons:
No Hotkeys: THERE’s a nice li’l help menu that shows you ALL the hotkeys!
No Pressure: There IS pressure. The pressure in OC doesn’t work like the pressure in your average art application! Compared to Paint Tool SAI’s Size-by-pressure setting, OC instead goes by the Thickness-by-pressure setting, meaning the harder you press down, the more solid your color would get.
Lack of assist tools: If you feel you need a stabilizer or a circle tool to be able to draw comfortably–you prolly also use legendary pokemon in your main team. OC has tools, but they don’t go too far beyond the line tool and the square tool. This is all you have for tools:
I’M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.
Instead of stating why I like drawing with others in OC,i’m stating why others WONT draw in OC. AH! HAHAH!
SILLY ME!
I like drawing with others in OC because it brings out the best of two minds (or..more, but that’s a rare occasion. More than two people usually turn into scribble fests) who’d have fun working together on a project and both highly anticipating the finished image to be DELICIOUS!
A lot of the time–and I mean A LOT..of the time, I come across people who are pretty cool with OC! But because of my ALMIGHTY STATUS OF BEING SUPER POPULAR THAN ALL THE ARTISTS EVER, they’d rather go in and WATCH me draw stuff rather than draw with me which pisses me off more if anything else, or maybe they’d feel insecure and get all down about themselves–feeling not worthy to draw togETHER WITH THE GREATEST ARTIST EVER; they start to think and do that thing I stated earlier–what was it..oh yeah!
COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHER ARTISTS. No one seems to understand that when I decide to allow you to draw with me, It’s not me going HEY! THIS GUYS’ ART SUCKS! HEH! LET ME SHOW HIM UP MORE BY DRAWING RIGHT BESIDE HIM–HOH MAHN, THAT’LL SHOW HIM TO AGREE TO DRAW WITH ME! HUAHUAHUA!
So now I have all these dumb obstacles to jump over JUST to find a suitable OC partner! THIS is why you constantly see me asking you guys to draw with me–or going into that Discord Server, asking the similar thing; “ANyone in here wanna OC with me?” I usually get mixed answers that are cool with me like “What’s OC? You mean like Original Characters?” or “Nah, I dun feel like drawing right now”..Then I get the one that urks me.
“OC SUCKS.”
And then i’m like NNNNNNNNNmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmppppph, I SURE DO HATE THAT I HAVE TO FEEL LIKE I’M THE ONLY ONE EVER THAT HAS TO STAND UP FOR OPEN CANVAS–HOOOHBOOI.
THEN I HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY IT’S STILL A GOOD, YET DATED ART APPLICATION. Then they give me their BS reasons and I’m looping again i’m sorry!
I LIKE DRAWING IN OC BECAUSE..IT..Doesn’t make me feel like..like i’m some HIGH TIER ARTIST that only draws with the best–I feel normal.
There.
It’s an awesome feeling to draw with others–no matter their skill in art or how they feel on their artistic insecurities–ALL artists have ‘em! Growing as an artist–you learn to get over those dumb feelings and focus on bettering yourself!
IN NO WAY should you feel you can’t group with people because they’re ‘popular’–the fact remains that they are PEOPLE! Don’t feel you can’t befriend them because of some imaginary status that puts you in a place that marks you as unworthy or ‘impossible to’. This is why a LOT of ‘un worthy people’ are my friend! Because I like to draw with them, commute with them and of course, understand them.
Except @aintsmart. Fuak that guy.YOU BETCH! FUAKKIN DRAW WITH ME, YOU PIECE OF SHET! I KEEP TELLING YOU, YOU’RE SPECIAL TO ME–WHY DO YOU DENY ME AND MY FEE
Like hell, drawing on oc fun as hell
