Why is this board so dead? There's a damn thread from 2017. Statistically speaking, there should be enough drawfags to keep this place active, and it has an attractive gimmick. There aren't even a ton of beggars.

Most drawfags who aren't just dumping their shitty portfolio in one thread take time to draw, and show up sparsely. I agree though, I really love tegaki and some of the prompts are fun. It's unfortunate it's so quiet.

Anonymous No. 702357

Isn't this a board where it is a good thing that it is slow? So everyone can see artwork that has been done without worrying about a thread going away before the art can be seen by people who dont come here every day?

That's the way i always thought of it. Kind of like the way an art exhibit stays at a museum for months so a lot of people have a chance to see it.

What is the point of drawings staying up on the board for a long time if there is never any indication to the artists that anyone has ever even seen them. An overwhelming majority of quality drawings and posts are made in complete silence and then slowly sink down into obscurity in the catalog. You have to come back weeks later and make even more unwanted drawings to bump a thread and pray like hell that somebody notices them while they are sifting through all the shitposting and drama. I keep telling myself its a donation, a form of community service performed voluntarily to give back to the other artists on the board. But the truth is I am really giving my drawings to is 4chan.org, a for profit corporate entity who benefits from having my original content drive the traffic on their website, and I'm just a fucking chump for giving it away freely.

>jugglers and singers require applause, you are a drawfriend. Do you think I demanded a garland of (you)s every time I posted a drawing on the drawing board?

you're very insecure if you think there arent lurkers looking at your work anon
the pool of users isnt large enough to sustain the ideal prompt/interactive threads so the name-fags have to do the heavy lifting in bringing personality to the board
also if you truly believe that there isn't any inherent benefit to sharing your work with others then i feel sorry for you cuz that will lead you to either isolation of an echo-chamber
if you're reducing the artform and its passions down to monetary transactions and investment with goal to maximize returns then you've already lost the essence of art

Upon further reflection I concede the argument and will also add: Sharing my drawings with other people anonymously is great, making drawings specifically for a thread topic is also great, and having free access to other peoples drawings is equally as great. There is no expectation for me to contribute in exchange and running websites ain't free. Contributing to the board at times can still feel isolating, obscure, and meaningless. I'm not sure what I can do to help other than make as many quality drawings as I can, and say nice things to people every once in a while. I would also still rather have more drawings from more artists posted more often, than a very slow board.

their existence is beyond our influence anon our power lies in whether we *choose* to acknowledge or be offended by their meddling they literally can't do anything besides cry and moan and even that gets old in a week or two
nothing discourages dissent quite like complete refusal to reply to their taunts they can only argue so long before the pointlessness becomes self-evident
are we really gonna grace some non-artist discord users with acknowledgment let alone measured responses?
replying it is akin to debating one of those dedicated propoganda bots on /pol/ its pointless you achieve nothing and are worse off for it
ignore them and they will leave, actual artists will always trump dramafags no exceptions you just have to be persistent for that first rough patch

its survivor's bias anon the drama is just more active/visible hence seems to dominate the board but thats barely 20% of the board at best
look at the landscape thread or no'body's thread its all kino art with solid replays at a consistent pace
that's what will be remembered later down the line not the the dirty laundry of whoever the target of the month is
you just need to tough out the initial negativity not everyone can but thats what 4chan's allure is all about you stand on your merits not your clout

This is an illusion really. Yes, they get a lot of posts, the Stick thread more than the other, but it's mostly squabbling and trolling attempts. Even the lole thread is largely fangless, far less aggressively pedo than, say, the lsg on /ic/.

wrong, Oekaki is a nip word for drawing based bulletin board message system. /i/ is a complex board and is home to many different types of threads. /i/ is not purely a drawing based bbs, but that and the tegaki.js bitmap editing applet is it's most unique feature.

Hello, friend!
As far as I know, /ic/ would be a place for art discussion, whereas /i/ is a place for drawn art creation.

You could make a thread to discuss Michelangelo's sculptures or paintings on /ic/ but here I believe it would probably be out of place.
Here there is a special focus in creating drawings using the built-in Tegaki tool, so that others can see a replay of you drawing.
You can discuss and criticize art that is posted here, but personally I think it's cooler if you were to draw your own version of it!

/ic/ is the "serious business" art board. It's for people who want to either improve their work, or work professionally. In practice this isn't always the case, but this is how the board generally presents itself.
/trash/ is a fetish board functionally. It's draw thread has the same properties of any other draw thread, so a good chunk of it will be requests.

/i/ is a board for having fun via drawing. The mood is casual and loose, and there's no limit on the subjects one can draw, nor any expectation of technical quality, or delivering requests.
If /i/ were like /ic/, people would be too nervous to draw lest the get dog-piled by over eager critics.
If /i/ were like a draw thread, most of the board would be requests, and people drawing would be in the minority.

In both cases, the board would be less fun.

It's slow and comfy so it gives artists time to make threads with a lot of great art (>>686740 >>685128) and sometimes artists stay for many years and they often use Tegaki so I can see the replays
And since it's slow I can browse and post at my own pace, my favorite threads won't disappear overnight and if I want to make a drawing I can wait until the weekend or some other day when I have a lot of time to draw
I like that Anons make high effort drawings during interactions, such as in the collaborative drawings (>>704550), or drawing a characters from other artists of the board (>>699923).
It's so great when someone makes an high effort drawing based on something you drew.
And that we get posts from Japanese artists (>>704824) which I think might stop happening if the name was changed from Oekaki
And while Tegaki is awesome I also like that people use other tools because I allows for things such as the animation thread (>>654861)

There is some drama which I dislike but it's pretty easy to ignore
I don't dislike avatarfags as long as they're drawing

Fast boards are ultra shit and are usually flooded with annoying teenagers and meme obsessed retards at any given hour of the day. Plus a board based on a time consuming hobby is better off slow.

It's not dead, it's just slow. There's nothing wrong with it, it's not its fault, and it's not a problem. /po/, /trv/, and /n/ are other examples of perfectly healthy places that just happen to be less busy. Even so, the average response time can never be more than a day or two if you post something interesting.
If you NEED a fast-paced environment at the expense of discussion standards and overall friendliness (which IS what you will always trade-off as a function of quality/quantity) see the critique board and various global drawthreads.

A bit of a shame I just think it is better if you know someone saw your pic like more discussion. But sometimes I draw stuff using tegaki and post it on different boards

I like how slow it is, I don't have to worry about rushing my doodles

you'd think the first post would be a general drawthread followed by a request thread. came here after returning to /co/ and finding it to be a tumblr clone.

This board gets a little tumblr too sometimes. We have the general art dump but no general request thread.
