(Anonymous) 2013-11-03 04:10 am (UTC)(link)I wouldn't say that's a tumblr only thing; it's pretty big in parts of video game fandom too.
I agree though. I think learning realism is a super important starting point in getting better and learning the basics, but experimenting and exaggeration are important once you have that step down.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-03 04:37 am (UTC)(link)And yeah I definitely believe in having strong skills in figure drawing, but realism is not the only kind of art and I hate to see people supporting a movement that is actually very... limiting.
I understand a lot of this largely came from the comic book industry and video game industry being very sexist and the resulting female anatomy, but I don't think the solution is to force every artist to try to be a realist painter when that's just not what they do. I think it's better to ask them to draw female figures of different sizes, but in "their style."
