art tutorial alignment chart

(my honest opnion)

personal alignment explanations below (warning looooooooong)

drawabox's got that lawful good aura to me. promising great improvement through a more rigid less flowy kinda drawing (boxes boxes boxes) yeah that's kinda lawful good ig. kinda resource for those who care for their drawings to look more accurate to perspective and proportion than just straight up wingin it dont have much to say about sinix. he's peak. he gets that neutral good label from me. morpho books by themselves would prooobably be lawful good (but less rigid more flowy) but i gave em the chaotic good label because that's the feel i get from the morpho fans themselves, who all preach about the greatness these books hold within their small thin compact travel sizes. it's partially because they're one of the very few books that actually teach about body fat (which is... kinda concerning if you really think about it. body fat is weirdly scarce among regular art tutorial books despite it having as much importance in the body as muscle and bone) and i put draw like a sir here because he himself has that chaotic good vibe. he teaches stuff (especially for beginners) REALLY well in a super easy to grasp manner and isn't afraid to be a bit humorous in his videos bob ross's pick is a lil weird, but lemme try to explain. his videos feel less like tutorials and more like... meditation i guess??? and i mean that's fine i guess. less for learning and more for unwinding by drawing along. we like a chill guy. i see less people on youtube use his videos to seriously learn and more people use his videos for extremely goofy art challenges lol. neutral in terms of educational value but lawful in terms of vibes ig lavendertowne is true neutral cuz i find her kiiiiinda mid. some of her videos are fine and there's a few interesting ones but most of them are kinda boring, there's better more interesting ones out there with similar subjects, especially on tutorials. bluebiscuit is also true neutral but a tier above lavendertowne. she's fine i dont hate her i guess her tutorials are nice for newbies and pretty accessible but still. there's videos with the same subjects as hers that i think are way better and more extensive ig true neutral (derogatory) and true neutral (affectionate) ethan becker, holy shit is this man chaotic neutral, both in personality and manner of teaching. he teaches some hyper-specific and potentially really useful skills for drawing anatomy and shape construction in a very simplified way (use the weirdly shaped triangle for everything) BUT the way he teaches it... god, he does it in the most drill-sergeant, nitpicky, push-you-down insults and spits on you kinda manner ever that it's actually kinda hard to actually retain the information you've learned in your brain even if you still remember how it went, somehow. i'd still recommend him but only if you enjoy being a masochist. there's prolly two kinda people who leave from an ethan becker tutorial: those who learn really fucking well from him, and those who felt so ashamed and insulted by him that their art progress and motivation just dropped by an entire year. megamegamikey... i mean, i havent watched his videos, but there's a good reason why i won't. i can just tell his tutorials are only for those who wish to draw anime girl tiddy gooner stuff, and not for learning actual serious anatomy (it's on the opposite side of the morpho books on the chart for a reason), and i dont wanna learn big bazoinga shit!!! if i wish to learn booba i will learn from the most accurate least sexy boingboing sourcessss!!!!!

also if you post a video with that as the title and thumbnail there's at least one thing VERY wrong with you and i will not trust your opinions on children and women anyways kooleen is neutral evil. i don't need an introduction. when i compare myself to her i actually develop pride and confidence from it instead of shame and envy like most cases because like. i feel so SMUG being able to draw and come up with much more interesting ideas than her. i can conjure up twisted beasts and floating vistas of wandering giants and the horrors of the self and gay fish yaoi from my rich and vast mind palace. she can only conjure up basic-bitch kpop boys and girls from her vaguely racist eurocentric-beauty-standard worldview. I am BEYOND her. I am STRONGER than her. I am SMARTER and more CREATIVE than her. I am more CHARMING and FUNNY than her. I am OBJECTIVELY better than her in EVERY SINGLE WAAAYYYYYY (evil laugh)

and last but not least. i think those how to draw manga books are on the same level of "if i give this to you as a christmas present i really fucking hate you" as these things

(only how to draw manga guy that's actually kinda good is mark crilley. he's not the best but he's an alright starting point. along with morpho he's also got the only tutorial books that actually teach about drawing fat people (though only for a few pages. it's still a very kind-hearted gesture, especially since anime casts tend to lean towards super skinny so i kinda saw that he wanted those who learned his wisdom to change that lol) whhheheheenrhbefdushid i loev art
