Bases are Shitby =Haters-Gonna-Hate-Me

deviantART Related / Deviant Stamps

Seriously, if you use bases, you're not just cheating on art, you're cheating on yourself.

Edit: Why, yes... it's in groups for bases. Whodathunk!

I use bases as well as do my own artwork. I have sketchbooks full of just drawings I did, bases are a good relief for me. I still do what I can to put in as much detail on them. I find it's been helping me figure out different types of hair right now, so I don't become repetitive. I don't see a problem with people who use bases, as long as they credit the base owner. The person who originally posted the base usually credits the original work of art, so I see no problem with it, let people do what they want.

I think it's a good idea wen your starting out, I found that by studying bases and pictures of skeletons my anatomny improved greatly and I woulnd call it cheating just learning. ^^

I just use them to practice brush strokes in Photoshop or for stress relief. all other cases, I do my own line work.

and why do you think so?

I use bases.
Bitch that's just you're opinion.

~ryugafan Apr 13, 2013 Professional Writer

It's not cheating when you mention the owner. And it's a chance to get better at work. It builds self confidence in your paint software, then you will learn to do work yourself. But until a person gains that amount of self-confidence, they should be allowed to use bases. Again, it helps build self confidence. So get over it. It's getting on my nerves, how people hate bases. I don't see THEM with their own artwork. So unless you can make artwork BY YOURSELF that has no association with a base at all, then I will let you go easy. And really, WHO ASKED FOR YOUR FREAKING-ASS OPINION???!!!!

I don't believe bases help you at all to improve your skill level in drawing. That's a lie. To yourself. Bases yes, can be helpful sometimes but they are not helpful when you lie to yourself and say you are getting better at drawing every time you use one. Draw things yourself, and improve that way. Stop using other people's art to help you ' improve '. There's no easy way to get better at art, and bases are not an exception :/

I do agree that bases don't help you learn how to draw. They're just for lazy people who don't feel like making their own line-art and coloring it in. I'm not gonna lie, though. I do use them every once in a while. But, this seems a little forced. I dunno.

I love how most of the comments on this stamp defending the use of bases are written by dyslexic pre-teens. So damn typical.
